Game a Pretty Ore.
The game Of ball played by the college
club yesterday was the real article \
prettier exhibition OF the national game
has not often been seen at American
League park than that furnished by the
amateurs yesterday. From the very be-
ginning they started in to make good
with their friends who occupied seats in
the grandstand and bleachers. and the
l.j00 rooters had no chance to complain
at any stage.
II was continuous source of ecstasy
to the followers OF the blue and gray.
and the whole game was punctuated with
rounds CT applause from the vCcilcrous
rartisans Of the collaglans.
Washington played a good game, but
the college boys were right there with
the goods all the time. and at the finish
the amateurs won q well-earned victory.
Luck Factor.
II is true. however, that luck played
prominent part in the contest. and the
Georgetown boys were the ones to profit
at all tines. slll they played 4 better
all-arcuni game than the Senator's. as
the score will plainly show. They ou,-
bstcd their opponents and played 4 fast

In at least two cases the Nationals
would have scored runs with any kind of

where the balls went right into their

In narrating the incident the Dispatch
says: "A number of the best neWspa-
per men in Virginia have expressed the
opinion that it would be wise to have
statute making the willful furnishing
OF false information to a newspaper a
criminal offense. In view of the morti-
fication to which not only the persons

there is a great deal to be said in adj

are pretty sure the matter will be
brought to the attention of the law
makers in South Carolina, if necessary.

GREATEST SOURCE OF CRIME.
Mr.. J. 8. stradley Finds 1t is the Use Of Intoxi
eating Drinks

To the Editor:-Not less than two
thirds of all the crimes committed are
directly or indirectly traceable to the use
of intoxicating drinks These drinks ad-
die the brain, warp the judgment, and
stir up all the devil there is in people,
and drive them to the commission of
crimes, from which they would shrink
with horror, if sober 1t is hard to COM
nit crimes in cold blood deliberately.
Conscience and better judgment hold men
back. But when these are weakened and
warped, and all the baser passions are
fired by whiskey. then they are ready
to do the bidding of the devil.
An able lawyer made this statement:
| have been employed in thirty cases
where men have been tried for their
lives The crimes committed by twenty
seven of these men were clearly traceable
to the use of whiskey.'
In certain county the negroes had
festival. Whiskey was freely used
Some got drunk In drunken row, one
negro shot another and killed him. The
case went into court. The trial was put
off and there was one or two mistrials.
The case was kept in court until it cost
the taxpayers of the county about $4,000.
In a certain neighborhOod a few years
ago, peace and order prevailed and good
society was enjoyed. But bad men have
gone in, and are making and selling
''moonshine whiskey." Now society is
corrupted, and fussing, and fighting, and
shooting, and killing. and all kinds of
devilment is going on.
People who do not and will not drink,
will rarely ever become criminals But
those who drink, put themselves in the
direct road that leads to crime. Drink
ing leads to drunkenness, and drunken
ness blunts and weakenS every SENSIBLE
lty to purity, and goodness, and right !;
and fits its victim to yield to every temp
tation to sin and crime. Drunkenness
causes it's victims to be insulting in
words and actions to others; it makes
them trample under foot the rights of
others; it makes them hate, and hurt,
and murder others. Trace to it's proper
source every crime that degrades human
ity, that occupies most of the time of
our courts, that makes necessary most
of our taxes, that builds our prisons and
fills them with criminals, that breaks
millions of hearts. and blights millions
of homes, that fills hell with the damned
and you will find that whiskey is the
main cause of it all.
Murder is the highest crime. The liq-
uor traffic kills about 100, 900 American
citizens each year. If they were killed
instantly it would not be so bad then
their property would be left for the sun
port of their families. But as rule
drinking men are stripped OF all they
have before they are killed. and their
families are left in abject poverty.
The greatest crime of the American
people is the legalizng of the liquor traf-
flc. which corrupts politics, degrades So
ciety, entails poverty and murders thou
sands of citizens each year.

when the Indian lands were purchased

latter made payments of 100000 a

The money was handed over to the

the Indians. He has seen the big wag-

their way to the payment house. The
