StO5
The Ashcville people, after Saturday S
game with Spartanburg, are able to see
how it is possible that the Ashevillc
team, almost invincible at home, man.
ages to lose two out of three games
when it is away. The team lost two
games out of three to the visitors on The
home grounds, something that has not
been done for any other team this season.
SATURDAYS game was not won by Spar
tanburg; it was lost by a poor an cxhi-
bition of ball playing at critical points as
Ashcville ever gave Add to MS the
magnificent work done by lanes and
there is enough cause for the defeat.
Asheville got only three hits off his trc-
mendous delivery. Up to the sixth in
ming Spartanburg had secured only three
hits off Stephens, but after the trining
fielding was done the hungry Palmetto.
ans caught eight more hits, a quite uu-
usual total. 1t was a game that the
home team may repent of in sackcloth
and ashes.
In fairness, however, it mus. be said
that the game was not lost on the out
field, nor by all the nfcld. Robertson,
Young and Williams took good care OF
their grounds and the latter made as
beautiful play as has ever been seen at
Allandalc. He accepted a drspcrate
chance in the third, caught Thomas ny

to a "hit by battcd ball" King started
for third. Starlcy was the unly man
near and he went for the base, Green
threw to him wild and another run was
added. Ashc>ilcs last run was mad. in
the fifth by Williams, who started of on

The Supreme Court Hustled.

During the term which closed on
Saturday last the United States Supreme
Court made an unusual record for the
disposition Of business. More than 500
cases were finally disposed Of and Others
were taken under consideration, atjlelsi
fifty more than the usual work of term
notwithstanding thai the court was with
out full bench for weeks after the
death of Justice Blatchford.
There were 934 cases on the docket
at the close of the last term, May. 1893,
289 cases have been fled since, making
to.al of 1914, so that some 700 cases
remain booked for action.
OF the Ii cases which the court has
taken under Amusement, but which will
not be decided until next fall, when the
court will meet on the second Monday
in October, some are of great import
ance.
There are ) involving the validity Of
foreign judgments in the courts Of the
United States, an important customs
case involving the rates upon tobacco fo1
cigar wrappers, and the cases to test the
validity of the Massachu ietls oleomarga-
rlne law. The present crowded condi-
ton of the docket emphasizes the need Of
legislation still further restricting the
classes of cases which can be appealed to

To Signal From the Grave.

Hubert Devan. French Canadian.
it is said, has had patented an Invention
which he calls grave signal He
has worked for ten years 90 his idal,
and clain to have solved the problem Of
saving the uufortunates who uay be
buried alive. His device consists Of a
piece of ordinary gas pips G feet long
with glass globe about the size of an
incandescent lamp on one end The
pipe is arranged to screw onto a brass
plate at the head Of the coffin. The pipe
will extend beyond the plate and with.
in fraction of an inch from the head of
the corpse Through the centre of the
pipe, pain smooth stick is placed, one
end OF which rests on the forehead Of the
person in the coffin; the other end of ihe
stick Is 10 the glass globe, Will red cloth
attached The moment lhe person
comes to life and moves. the stick will
forced through the pipe. and tbe red
cloth-the signal-will Re displayed -
The signal cannot be seen unless il is
pushed up from the forehead Of the peri
son. At the same time the signal is dis
played, number of small apertures
open at the base of The glope, and fresh
air is forced down the pipe and INTO the
nostrlls of the supposed ccrpse Whom
the pipe and appliances are Fixed to The
coffin, the grave is filled up IN the usual
way, leaving about 2 feet Of pine, with
the bulb attached, protrudiue above
ground. The inventor claims that in
catalepsy person may be dead to all To-
tents and purposes for period Of S days,
but never for longer time. Some one
could be hired to watch for s or 10 days
the graves Of those who have died under
suspicion or catalepsy or kindred all
ments, or relati. es- could visit the graves
daily. According to Devan, tha way
has been opened to do away with the
haunting fear so many people have of
being buried alive.

The Coxeyite ideas


Ten years ago, during the Congress
siona! campaign Of 1884 when
Frank Hurd was the Democratic
candidate aud Jacob Romeis the Repub-
lican, and the tariff Question being the
Issue on which the contest was waged-
the probable result of the carrying Of
Hurd's FREE trade theories into effect was
discussed. 1t was shown that a
StagnatioD Of industry and of business
must follow: that thousands Of men would
be unemployed; that readjustment Of
wages On a lower level would be a ne
cessity; that this would lead to strikes
aud labor troubles; in fact, the condition
ret forth we're the same that are now re-
allied as the result Of Democratic tri-
umph and consequent tarif-tickering
This was not prophecy out simple fore
east. Any man understanding that the
high American wage-rate is only made
possible by protection; that a low tariff
means largely increased imports OF for
eigu goods, and that every dollars worth
more of competing products imported
means dollars worth less of American
manufactures. could arrive at the same
result with unerring certainty, But un-
fortunately mankind too often enacts the
fable Of the dog which, snap ling at tho
reflection in the wat,r of the meat he
was carrying, thereby lost his dinner
The Democratic party has been for 30
years the teacher of misleading half
truths and false economic doctrines.
Its leaders have taught that protection
has nothing to do with wages "a theory
disapproved in the sight of every one to-
day. In their wild desire to obtain con-
troll of the offices, they taught the people
to look upon the government, not as ex-
ecutiug their will as expressed at the
ballot box, but as their enemy and OPP
prcssor. In spite of the fact that our
government is founded upon the prin-
ciple of the rule of the majority, they
taught that the minority-they being
the minority then-we:e oppressed,
abused and robbed by the government
Ihey actually succeeded tnrOugh thlrty
ye4rs' demagoly, in causing large mass
of the people to look upon the govern
mant as their most active enemy.
This perniclous demagogism has borne
fruit in Coxeyism-the commonweal
movement. Crowds of men, indoctrina-
ted with the false theories thus taught
them, are marching on foot to Washing
ton, to ask that tie Democratic Congress
shall redeem some of its fulsome prom
ises, reiterated for so long. Had it not
been for the Democratic effort at tariff
smashing, there would been employment
for every honest workingman in their
ranks. as there was two years ago. Dem
Ocracy brought the commonweal into ex-
istence, and Democratic administration
must deal with it

Argentine Wheat.

Mr.. Frank |. King, in his FIRMS spe-
cal market report refers to the growing
competition of the Argentine Republic
with the United States as a wheat ex-
porter, and gives some figures which are
of much interest to American farmers.
He says:
The Argentine Republic is the com
petitor which the United States should
watch carefully. Il is favorably located
in the northern part of South America,
but few realize that it has an area oil
about million square miles, or one,
third as much as the United States and
twelve times as much as Kansas. Their
population has been increasing, but i,
now only about five million.
Ten years ago they raised very little
wheat, and exported none They need
but little for home use. Last year they
exported SO,OOO,OOO bushels, and thi.
year they will ex sort nearly fifty mil.
lions, of which almost half has been SEM
since January LIST, when their crop year
commences. Their climate is exception
ally favorable for wheat raising. Some
wise men predic: that Argentine will be
exporting more wheat 10 years from
now than the United States. Not over
ten per cent Of their territory is under
cultivation. Their warehouse and rail
road facilities are limited. Their fnan-
cial condition is bad, owing English
creditors largely and with limited means
to pay with outside of wheat.
