Pennsy Cuts Out Georgetown.

Georgetown University has been dropped
from the University of Pennsylvania base
ball schedule. At a meeting of the Penn
sylvania base ball committee a week ago
the request of the Georgetown manage
ment for the usual games next spring was
brought up for consideration, and after a
short discussion 1t was decided that the
blue and gray college should not be on the
Quakers' schedule this year Manager Ir-
wing was authorized to notify the George
town officials accordingly.
This is the information which came last
night from an official of the Athletic Asso-
citation in Philadelphia. None of the men,
bers of the base ball committee or Mana ger
Irving would admit or deny that any action
had been taken in regard to the Georgetown
games, nor could it be learned what rea-
sons had been assigned for not playing

Maynard Fought Broad Pluckily.

Before a small crowd Billy Maynard of
New York and kid Broad of Cleveland
boxed six fast rounds at the Ariel Ath-
letic Club, Philadelphia, last night, the bout
ending in Breads favor. Maynard made a
good contest and did some clever work at
long range, but Broads sturdiness was in
his favor. and he had Maynard very weak
many times during the bout.
Several times Maynard was sent tor the
floor, but only one clean knockdown was
scored. Maynard refused to take the count
and displayed considerable pluck, fighting
hard to the end. and although Broad had
him beaten, he could not win decsively.

The many friends of the Rev. G.
Edwin Stokes will receive the news
of his death with profound sorrow.
The sad event occurred at his home
in Denmark on the morning of Sat-
urday, February 22nd, after an illness
of six weeks with typhoid fever, in
the 38th year Of his age.
Mr.. Stokes was born in Orange
burg and was graduated from the
University of Nashville. After teach
ing school at several places, among
them at Batesburg, in this county,
he entered the ministry in 1892,
joining the conference Of the Metho-
ist Episcopal Church, South. He
served Lexington Circuit for two
years, where by his unassumiDg man
ner, laborious work for the Master
and deep piety, he won the esteem
and love of every Christian of his &C.
quaintance and the confidence of the
people at large. he was ripe
scholar and strong preacher as
we'll as devoted pastor and an ac-
tvs and Jealous worker in all good
works tending TO elevate and raise
to higher plane of life the little world
around him. He leaves a wife and
four children-tWo boys and two
daughters. He was brother of the
late Congressman Stokes. A good
and noble man has gone to his re-
ward.
Ed Holland, a youth of sixteen
years, committed suicide in bis room
at his fathers residence, in Co!um
bia, on the 23rd, by shooting himself.
Unre quilted love is said to be the
cause for the youths rash deed.
While the family was at supper the
youeg man went to his room and
placed the photograph of young
lady and note over bis heart and fred
the fatal shot which launched his
soul into eternity.

not, but as the matter is still within
the Jurisdiction Of the Court to give
an opinion at this time would be pre-
sumptuous on our part.
We have repeatedly urged cur
school authorities to run the schools
on cash basis and had they given
that advise due consideration as did
some of the trustees, they would not
have been in the trouble they now
are. And making a bad contract the
easiest way out is the best.

One of the evils following the
adoption of the "stock law" is the
spread Of the disease known as Texas

from this disease at more than SlO,-

become so common as to make it
alarming and the South Carolina ez-
