MANAGER FRED CLARKE.
Manager Frca Clarke, of the Pitts
burg Pirates, who, although his team
is in thir positior in the pennant race,
appears to be confident that something
will “drcp'’ within the ranks of the
New York Giants and the Chicago
Cubs, which will greatly benefit his
tribe. Clarke figures that if he can
manage to puil out ahead in the re
mainder of his games this season, and
if the Giants and Cubs take a drop
or two, that they wili have to figure
pretty closely on the Pirates.

FOR SUMMER
SIQH DISEASES
During the summer most persons are annoyed with pimples, boils,
rashes or eruptions, while others suffer more severely with Eczema,
Acnc, Tetter, Salt Rheum, or some kindred skin disease. All skin
affcctions come from humors and acids in the circulation. The blood,
as it circulates through the system, deposits these humors and acids ir
the sensitive membranous flesh which lies just beneath the outer skin.
This acrid matter causes inflammation and a discharge which breaks
through the delicate cuticle, and skin diseases are the result. To cure
any SKin trouble the blood must be freed from all acids and humors,
and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It removes every particle
of the impurity, enriches the blood, and in this way permanently cures
skin diseases. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice frcc.
S.S S. is for sale at drug stores.
W£ SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATUNTA, CA.
(From Salisbury Post.)
The city was shocked .'ibour noon
yeptrrday at the announcement that
Rraxron Barkley was drowned. The
news spread like wild lire and was
soon known by almost everybody in
the city.
He was mailing cleik for the Post
and was a splendid bny, beine: full of
enrrgy and doing his work -vvilingly
and cheerfully on a'l ocn.asions. He
was 18 years old. IIi.s young associ
ates in the oflice along with others
were greatly alarmed over th> affair.
The tragedy which ended the HCe
of the young man took place about
10;o’clock yesterday morning in the
Yadkin river, several miles ubove the
point where South river unites with it,
at a place commonly known as tiorse
shoe bend. Yotmg Barkley, In com
pany with Floyd and I^ee Bost, friends
and companions, left early yesterday
for the home of Mr. Ed Davis, w’ho
lives near the scene of the drowning,
to spend the day. The three boys
were accompanied by a yount? nephew
of Mr. Davis, from Florida, who had
been visiting in the city. Barkley and
one of the other boys rode v/hee’s.
The remaining two boys hired a team
from Harper Bros.
THEY ALL ADMIRE PLUCK.
It cannot be gainsaid that when San
Diego, first of all perhaps to make
sucli claims, started to talk about hold
ing a big exposition to celebrate the
opening of the Panma Canal, little
faith was entertained by those who
heard of it that San Diego could or
would undertake seriously such a big
proposition. A city with a population,
then, of some 35,000 people it was held
that the holding of an exposition was
far beyond the ability of that communi
ty. But San Diego was ambitious antT
she w'as growing, and she w^as to be
the first port of call under the Stars
and Stripes after leaving the Pacific
end of the Canal. So the people of San
Diego w'ent to work with a will, raised
11,000,000 by popular subscription for
a starter and voted bonds for another
million to finance the fair, and then
people began to take serious notice,
'i’hen the state of California voted half
a million more to help the thing along,
and now there are enough promises
of exhibits and subscriptions to make
it certain that the exposition will en
tail an expenditure of fully |10,000,000,
and there is more to come. The fact
is that people love to see an exhibition
of clear grit, and San Diego is putting
up as fine an exhibition as w'as ever
seen. The city has a population of
45,000 people and practically every
one of them is a booster and an up-
builder. Under S’uch circumstances
there can be no such word as ‘fall.*’
Lang fold Has Eye
On Jack Johnson
By Associated Press.
New \ork, Sept. 5.—A ioou*. with
Jack Johnson for the wovlr^.’s champ
ionship is the goal toward which Sam
Langford expects that his flht to
night with Joe Jeanette will lead him.
So the Boston heavyweight is taking
no chances. He has trained harder
than for anj’ of his recent matches and
is a decided favorite.
Jeanette, however, is expected to
prove the hardest nut Langford i?as
had to crack during his progress to
ward a championship match. The
black fighters have met six times, and
their last mill, won by Sam at Bcstou
last September, was a furious battle.
The fight will be staged at Madison
Square Garden and the promoters
r-romise that thf're will be no repeti
tion of the confusion and crowding
that marred the recent V/eils-F.rovvn
bout.

CASTOR I
For Inmntc and Cliildr«n.
The Kind You Han Always Sought
Bears the
Signature of
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
has made entry of i. oG-horse-rov.sr
Maxwell car in the Glidden Tour to be
held in October r;nd will ride over
every foot of the 1,369 miles from
New York to Jacksonville, Fla. Mr.
Smith will be the urst governor or
public official to participate in an au
tomobile contest and he will indoubt-
edly be the most distinguished entrant
in the tour. It is not on recod’d rhat
any contest ever received such re
cognition and the importanc-3 of his
entry is indicated by plans which ;iold
such promise for the automobile in
dustry and for highv.ay developn ent.
Disregarding the precedent or the
custom of high government ofiiriers 'o
hold aloof from events of this charac
ter and recognizing that the good
reads movement of the south, as well
as the automobile industry, is a mat
ter v»-orthy of gubernatorial interest.
Governor Smith quickly made his en
try when he found that it would be
possible for him to partici:»ate. He
expressed the belief that the road
building movement is almost para
mount at the present time.
Furthermore, he will Invite the gov
ernor of each state through which the
tour passes to be his guest on the trip,
riding from one state boundary to the
other. With ten eastern and southern
states in the territory to be traversed
and several of the governors practi
cally certain of accepting the invita
tion. the Glidden Tour takes on a new
and more important character. Xpad
less to say such a gathering can hard
ly do otherwise thafi attract other
men who are big in public affairs an^''
particularly interested in the promo
tion of nEtional highways.
Governor Smith's ?daxwell will be
the fourth car of that make to com
pete in a tour, a team of three cars
having been nominated by the United
States Motor Company. The car was
tendered to the governor by Benjamin
Briscoe, president of the United States
Motor Company, through Maj. John
S. Cohen, of the Atlanta Journal, who
has always been a conspicuous advo
cate of good roads. Governor Smith
has wired Mr. Briscoe as follows:
“Acting upon advices from you to
Maj. John S. Cohen of Atlanta Jour
nal. tendering me the use of 36-h. p.
Maxwell touring car, I have today en
tered same in Glidden Tour. I will
invite the governor of each state
through which the tour passes to be
my guests. Until teday it was im
possible for hae to decide definitely.
Your courtesy and public spirit in ten
dering this car is sincoiely appreria-
' ed and I have no doubt that the ■'n
, will acquit itself admirably on t’:;.
tour. I am looking fovxvard v..- -
' pleasure to the trip and I believe ih.
■American Automobile Associaiion i..
planning such a tour will give gre?.t
' impetus to the road building Tinv.-'
ment v.hich I regard ar. almopi para-
I mount in the United States tod.^y,
