The OIeOmargarina bill.

After all the talk in Congress the bill tax
ing oleomargarine or imitation butter has
passed both Houses ofCongress and has gone
to the President The Senate cut the tax
down to two cents pound, and as this seemed
to be all that the Senate would stand the
House concurred in it.
The President has handed it to Attorney
General Garland for his opinion as to the con-
stitutionality of the measure, from which it
is inferred that there is some likelihood that
the President will veto it. 1t is matter of
very little Importance to farmers whether he
does or not. In its present shape it will not
in the least prevent the manufacture and sale
of the bogus stuff.
The last Legislature passed a law requr-
ing all limitations of butter to be branded, so
that purchasers may know what they are
getting and this law should he vigorously
enforced

! BASE BALL.--A closely contested and exciting
game OF base ball was played at Bel Air, last
Friday afternoon, between the Bel Air Club and
the Nonpariel Club, of Aberdeen. The latter
started in the game under some disadvantages.
Their regular catcher, James Campbell,
was detained at home with broken thumb
His place was taken in the beginning of the
game by w. A. Wells. In the Sd inning,
Mr.. Wells who did not wear mask, received a
ball squarely in the face, injuring him so Sc
verely that he had 10 withdraw. This uniucky
accident necessitated reorganization of the
Nonpareils, Leslie German going into the
box to pitch, while W. Wells caught, another
member present taking left field. At this stage
OF the game the score stood, Bel Air 4, Nonpareil
U. This seemed 10 be the turning-point in the
game. German delivered his balls with great
force the Bel Air boys finding it difficult to bat
them. One Or two errors were made on the side
of Bel Air, demoralizing them and consequently,
before they recovered their self possession, Non
parel scored II runs when they had finished
their eighth inning.
| Bel Air then went to bat and did some bril-
liant playing. Calder sent ball whizZipg far
over the head of the centre-tielder, and made his
third base, at the same time bringing man
home. Calder also got home, followed by two
more making Bel Air s, Nonpareil H. In the
ninth inning Nonparel scored 1 and Bel Air 0.
John Finney, who had been playing admirably
at short stop for Bel Air, took John Hays
place as pitcher. Mr.. Hays sustained his rep u
tation as an expert curve pitcher.
Howard Price, catcher for Bel Air, per-
formed his duties admirably.
At the end of the eighth inning, the umpire,
Mr.. Hines, of Bel Air withdrew, on account of
supposed objection to decision on the part of
the Nonpareil, and the remainder of the game
was umpred by Mr., j. e. Smith, of Darlington,
an experienced player. 1t was afterwards ex-
planned by the Nonpareil that no discourtesy to
Mr.. Hines was meant. The score was as fol-
lows:

Mr.. Bernard took the property and conveyed it
out of the county. For this he was arrested on

and enquire into the criminality of Mr.. Bernard's
act, and as the commitment was in proper form,
he remanded the prisoner to the custody of the
Sheriff. On Thursday Bernard was released on

have not succeeded in getting up their hay and
oats, but few days of good weather will bring
harvest to q close

Information was given to the proprietor of the
premises, who quietly carried the trap and its
contents out into the yard A council of war was
held and it was determined to summary dispose
of the cat, at any risk. The battle began and
waxed hot. 1t was give and take but at last the
cat gave up the ghost but not before it had left
its mark upon our neighbours boots, which rem
dered 1t necessary to commit them to mother
earth for day or two.
A few evenings ago while lady was standing
on her porch in town tramp entered the yard
and approaching her demanded something to eat.
She told him to stay where he was and she would
get him something. AS she entered the house
she heard footsteps behind her. and turning
around saw that the fellow was following her.
She had glass jar containing yeast in her hand,
and as quick as thought hurled it at the mans
head, The jar, unfortunately, missed him and
struck a post and breaking causing report so
loud that the tramp acknowledgement and beat
a hasty retreat. She saved her food but lost her
