Anxious to present to the city his check for $900 in addition to paying $115 for five taps upon a sewer main near Third and Brevard streets to connect his valualjle residential prop erty, Mr. T. H. Gaither, a retired business man and real estate holder, appeared in the court of Recorder Smith this morning and plainly stat ed his contentions. He was charged directly with having failed to connect houses on North Smith street, one mile from the courthouse, v.ith tho city sewer. “There are houses within one square of my iiome that are not con nected.” said Mr. Gaither. “I am willing to connect all of my proper ty with pewers if The city will extend the wat.'.r mains. I have offered Char lotte my check for $000, and again propose the ofi'er. if the city will .ex tend its lines of sewerage on Third street so that fl\e houses from which I now receive one hundred dollars a month rent, may be connected. But why force this connection of a liouse that oniy rents for $10 a month and whicii is one mile from where this coui't is now' sitting? I can not see th*’ rquity of it all. Add $000 to the taxes, put that amount on my taxes and give me this water connection near 'Ihird and Brevard, and there won't have to be so many bonds,” he finished. The charge against him was con tinued for ten days. To a reporter for The News, Mr. Gaither talked freely after court. He declared himself as being in fa vor of the issuance of bonds for the securing of a better water service, but he does nov, advocate placing a heavy burden upoii posterity by issti- ing any great amount of bonds for any other civic improvement. “The taxes fnnn property here should be stifficient for all necessary improvements,” said Mr. Gaither. I would not feel that I was doing the right thing to fori^e my children (o pay taxes to pay a debt I had con tracted, and I v/ill not sanction the placing of this liurden on others. Property should be taxed at its real value and not at a low rate that is keeping the city in debt. Wo could have plenty of money to take care of all necessary improvements if we taxed our holdings properly.” Mr. Gaither is in favor of going to the river for w’ater. He declared that this has been his contention from the first and that years ago he advocated just such a step. He is heartily in favor of the city issuing bonds for the water service. American Bowling Congress. By Associated Press. St. Louis, Jan. 24.—Officials of the American Bowling Congress are hold ing the (irst cl' tJieir executive sessions here today. The sessions will contin ue until Friday when officers will be elected and a city decided upon to hold the 1012 tournament. Noted Yatchman Dead. By Associated Press. Southampton, Jan. 24.—Captain Charles Barr, the noted American yatchman, died suddenly ot heart trouble here today. Tiee Ology And Bird-Ology Discussed Hanna Hall was unable to hold the people who went last night to hear Mr. John Daney lectui'e on ‘'Tree Sur gery.” The lecture was illustrated with two hundred slides, which show ed in a vivid manner every detail of the lecturer s discourse. The lecture was given under the aus pices of the Woman’s Club, being in line with the work of the Civic De partment of the club. The club is to be congratulated on bringing to Char lotte such an interesting exponent of this new and Important subject. Those who heard Mr. Daney last night went to be instructed in the new sci ence of tree surgery and were not dis- apj)ointed. It was evident from the interest displayed that Charlotte is to see the benefit of the lecture in a liractical and systematic effort to beau tify and i)reserve the trees in Char lotte’s i)arks. The speaker referred to Charlotte’s magnificent trees and pointed out how they could be preserved and beautified with little expense. He also discuss ed the relation of bird life to the w^el- fare of tree life and told of the disas trous results that would follow the ex tinction 6f birds that feed on insects. The insecturous birds destroy the in sects that prey upon the trees, and are therefore a very important factor to consider in connection with tree cul ture. The lecture came a surprise to many i nthat it was so full of interest Charlotte gives the same endorsement to it that has been generously accord ed elsewhere.

Relieved as Mayor. By Associated Press. El Paso, Tex., Jan. 24.—Francisco Portillo hag been relieved as mayor of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, because, he de clares, of differences with an agent re cently sent to Juarez by President Diaz. Rafael Garcia Martinez has replaced Portillo and it is stated chief of police Ponce will resign. To the coward discretion is the bet ter part of pallor. Turn about is fair play, except with a crooked roulette wheel. He w'ho fights and runs away does not always buy a return ticket L. 0. Wilson, manager of the Park Driving Club, appeared before Re corder Smith this morning to an swer the charge of retailing whis- liey, the accusation being made by L. B. Forrest, who swears that he purchased two drinks and a pint of whiskey in the club on the evening of the 23d, Wilson serving him drinks and the bottle and accepting the money. Entering a plea of not guilty the accused w'as bailed in' the sum of $200 for his appearance in court next Friday morning. He is repre sented by Attorney J. D. McCall, who asked for the continuance this morn ing and who scouts the allegation that his client has been guilty of any violation of the law. The warrant for the arrest of Wilson is an echo of proceedings in the recorder’s court Monday morning when Forrest, who says he advertises needles for a concern, was made to answer the charge of being drunk. He informed the police that he was accompanied to the Park Driving Club by B. H. Graham and that he bought whiskey after going there. As exclusively told in The News of yesterday, Assistant City Attorney Delaney elicited the information from Forrest that he was not a member of the club; and afterwards Graham was made to admit that he did not know that he had any w^his- key in the club from which Forrest might have given a drink. The list of names of members of the organization in the hands of the city officials was a significant fact and W'as touched upon in the tell ing of the trial of Forrest Monday. Sentence was suspended m his case and he is now used as a witness against Wilson, the man who Is al leged to have served the drinks in the club. When Graham, the man two took Forrest to the club, was put on the stand, he was much confused and could not tell an intelligible story of his connections with the club. He finally admitted that he did not know whether or not he was a member of the club. He had ordered whiskey from Florida and from Richmond, but could not specify the times. Ex press ofiice officials were requested to furnish the police department with the dates upon which whiskey had been received in the name of Gra ham and these affidavits c*re in the hands of the city attorney. Wflson did not appear to fear the outcome of the trial when he ap peared in court with his counsel this morning. He smiled when Forrest positively identified him as the man who had served two drinks in the club and who later had sold him a pint of whiskey. It will be the con tention of tho defense that Forrest was drunk at the time and that he does not know what he did. In cross-examining him this morning Mr. McCall inquired if he had not charged some one with stealing $200 from him. Witness said this was incorrect, but stated that he had lost $30. His home, he stated, was in south Georgia, but his business took him to all parts of the coun try. Sports Want Game With Davidson Special to The News. Wake Forest, Jan. 24.—By. defeating Guilford College at basket ball Satur day night Wake Forest retained its record of never having been defeated on its home floor with the exception of once last year when the Columbus (Ga.) Y. M. C. A. team defeated them and at the same time made a telling stride toward the state championship of colleges, which she has held for the last fifteen years, Charlotte being the state champions. The game Saturday was fast, snap py and hard fought from beginning to end. Guilfoi'd went in the game con fident of winning owing to their vic tories over Portsmouth (107-18) and Davidson (68-22). Wake Forest went in for revenge over last year’s defeat. Guilford started the game off with a field goal and from then on it was ex ceedingly close. The first half ended 9-S in W^ake Forest’s favor. Frequent disputes marked the game throughout. The second half was harder fought than the first, but like the first it also ended 9-8 in W’^ake Forest’s favor. The total score being 18-16 in favor of Wake. Forest. The particular stars for Wake For est were Dowd and Beam while Ben- bow’ starred for Guilford. Dowd’s playing at guard against Benbow was some of the best seen here, he holding him down to four field goals against ten while playing Davidson and sev enteen against Portsmouth. The Guilford team was composed entirely of last year’s men. while W'ake Forest had a new team with the ex ception of one man. The line-up of the two teams fol lows; Wake Forest. Guilford.

B., and Buie, centre; Holding, R., and Dowd, guards. All of these, are new men, one of whom “subbed” on last year’s team. With a little more practice the team will be one of, if not the strongest the college has ever put out. Schedule. Manager Beam has announced the following schedule: Jan. 20—Virginia Christian College, at Wake Forest. Jan. 28—Unsettled, probably Dur- tam, in W’^ake Forest Feb. 3.—Carolina at Carolina. Feb. 4,—Trinity, at Duiham. Feb. 7.—Trinitj', at Wake Forest. Feb. 11.—Charlotte Y. M. C. A., at Wake Forest. Feb. 16.—A. & M., at W'ake Foreat, Feb. 22.—University of Virginia, at Wake Forest.

A. with a possible game with Furman University, Manager Beam is desirious of ar ranging games with other colleges an despecially with Davidson, but as yet Davidson refuses to reply to let ters. This is one of the best schedules ever arranged, giving the school at least 8 games on its home floor.

St. Icula, Missouri Lave Cross Hunts Through the Wilds Lave Cross, manager of Charlotte’s team this y6ar, has gone a-hunting. Down in the wilds of Mecklenburg county he is chasing the cotton tails and frightening the timid birds. He won’t be back today, for he told some of his friends he needed the exercise. The rest will do him good, for Lave has been leading a strenuous life of late. It's no easy job to be writing letters to prospecting ball players and worrying about a lot of things that are necessary for the running of a ball team. But the Hornets will line up this season in a v.^ay that will listen good to the fans. A few of last year’s men will be back on the job and the new ones will come from colleges and small leagues where they were the pride and joy forever of their fond admirers. Some of them will make good: others will be sent back home to inform the folks that thte manager wasn't on to his job and couldn’t see their fine points. There is always something pathetic about the weeding. A mana'^er throws out a net and gathers in a lot of fellows vvho want to shine on the diamond. Each one is given a try-out. No favoritism is shown. Each man is tried in base running, hitting, bunting, and other good points of baseball. By his work he is judged. And long towards {be opening of the season a fellow will one morning receive a nice little note telling him how sorry the man ager is, etc.—but he is out of a lob.

A SPORTING BALLAD. AN OLD-TIME PRESCRIPTION in a modern product. From time im memorial sage and sulphur hav« been used for the hair and scalp. Almost every one knows of the value of such a combination for darkening the hair and making .it grow. In olden times the only way to get a hair tonic of this sort was to grew it in the home fire place, a method which was trouble some and not always satisfactory. Nowadays almost every up-tO;date druggist can supply his patrons With a ready to use product, skilfully com pounded in perfectly equipped labora tories. Such a prepartlon is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, which is sold by all leading druggists for 50c and $1.00 a bottle, or which Is sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical Company, 74 Cort- landt St., New York City, upon re ceipt of price. For sale and recommended by R. H. Jordan & Co. (William F. Kirk.) Winter howled around the corners of the old-time grocery store. Where the baseball star was sitting* giving out his baseball lore. Every day he told the neighbors in his little Western town How he hit the curves of Matty and the shoots of Miner Brown. “No, I ain’t signed up this season,” he would tell the gaping throng, “And I won’t sign, boys, believe me, till the check looks good and strong. John T. Brush knows where to find me, and he knows I’ll play the game When I get a good, fat contract”—but the contract never came. “Maybe I’ll go South to Texas,” said a gawky young recruit, “If the contract that they aend me names a contract that will suit. Why, they’re crazy for new talent; all the papers told me so, And your Uncle Dudley Isn’t out to skip the dough. When I get my kind of contract, I’ll jump out and grab the fame, Not till then will I get busy”—but the contract never came. Life is but a game of baseball, with its players everywhere; Some are sulking In their wigwams, some are out to do and dare. Somo are working, working, working, turning labor into fun; Others talk of future conquests, and depart with nothing done. Far beyond the clouds and sunlight dwells a magnate wondrous kind, With a million million contracts al ways waiting to be signed Yours, my wrlend, the task of trying; Yours, my friend, the task of trying; If you tell, when life is ebbing, how th« contract never came.
