Bonds and Gold

NEW YORK, May The Wall Street
News Agency says: Evidences point to
cleaning up process having been begun by
the bond syndicate. The recent return
to members of 40 per cent of their sub
scription money was the first step in this
direction. 1t is uncertain when the bal
ance will be returned. but some think it
will be in short time. The calling from
tho syndicate members of extra gold is
another step in the same direction.
There Is authority for the statement that
the progress OF events in the desired d-
rection has been good deal faster than
the syndicate expected or even hoped
would be the case. Developments of for
eign investment buying on large scale so
notcea bic last month has practically as
sured the country against any large de-
mand for gold for good many months
to come. Most of the syndicate s prepa-
rations were made against this danger.

The New Stenographer.

The Florence Messenger in the issue of Fri
day, says in refere.ce to the change of sieno-
grapher FOR this circuit.
s'Mr L. I. Parrott, Of Sumter, who has
for number of years filled the position OF
cour, s.enographer for this circuit, and filed
it so salts faclorily to every person concerned,
has been succeeded by son of the new State
barkeeper, Mr. F. NJ. Nixon. Mr.. Parrott
was not TlImanite and in consequence he
was unable TO keep his position. Then the
Forty talk Of peace and unity and all such
poppy cock 1t matters not how efficient a
man may be, if he is not Tilmanite he
need expect nothing from this set of political
,rickster.. Mr. Parott has our sympathy,
but at The same time we honor him.
If the theory and practice that 'to the vic
tor belongs the spoils % did not obtain,
there would be no reform, for it is founded
upon this and has lived and had its existence
in the practice Of the theory. If the reform
ers displace Judge Fraser to make place for
one of the ring, it is not surprising that
stenographer Parrot had to make way Tor a
sprig of reform.

a wrecking force was ct the point and some
beautiful work was doue clearing the track.
The up passenger train, which should have

Base Bail.
Why Not Have a Club IN Sumter
if an Interstate League is
Organized?

The perennial base ball enthusiasm has
broken out in be South, and there is much
talk of organizing an Interstate Leagae to
inclu the cities Of Augusta, Macoo, Savau-
nah, Spartanourg, Greenville, Columbia and
Charleston, and perhaps Ashevil!e, to make
the circuit complete.
Now this wond be a very good circuit, but
why not omit Ashey lie, and put Sumter IN
as the eighth city. Sumter has fine base
ball park already, and there would be 90 ex-
pense in this score Sumter is fayoraol ~
situated, so much so that by having club
in this place would materially reduce the
length of the jumps betweeo games. Sumter
is good base bali town, and il league is
formed 10 ipclude Sumter there would be 90
trouble about securing 6rst-class club to
represent the Game Cock City.
