WESTERN LEAGUE.

Merrick's umpiring was very much to the bad yesterday. Between Tom Ramon and Joe Connor the umpire had an uncomfortable time of it.
 A drive from Bannon's bat in the ninth inning of yesterdays game a. Newark fractured the left shoulder of Pitcher Jones of the Providence team and as he is left-hander it will dis able him long time.
 It has probably not escaped the Hol- yoke cranks that Holyoke has the lead by only small margin, Vickers's games and all If Springfield should beat the Paper city team to-day and Norwich should win, the lead would go to Norwich.
 Kid Berry says that he and his wife are going to buy big touring car, and when he goes home in three or four weeks 1t will be by the automobile route. He expects to reach Ohio in less than week. Berry's ankle is im- proving rapidly now.
 Red Waller has returned to the fold once more and won his game yesterday for Bridgeport from the New Haven team. Better put the shackles on the red fellow if they want to keep him down there. He is liable to wander away again, particularly if things do not go according to his liking.
 Since the first game after his latest rejuvenation, Roger Connor has failed to get hit in only one game, and that was Tuesdays lamentable affair, and the only errors he has made during this time were in that game. Rogers bat ting during the three weeks has been at the rate of .367.
 Norwich had a snap for the last two days. Just think of Tom Reilly play ing double headers with the team he manages. Winning four games in two days puts Norwich in fighting place for that pennant. Lucky thing for Spring field that Hartford is in the league. That last place must be Hartford's at any price
 Just look at that paid attendance in Springfield yesterday. Not 200 paid admissions, and Pitcher Thomas was allowed to go for a paltry $25. The beginning of the end has come in Springfield unless that team is strengthened. The late popular Tom Burns was the idol of the Springfield fans his first year as manager, but 1r the second year, when poor team was put in the field, he went to the wall so quickly and so effectively that he never came back.

bett, and made pretty good fight up to the time Corbett sent home the punch that won.
 The first three and half rounds were tame, O'Neil avoiding the cham pion's rushes. Tn the fourth round O'Neil hit Corbett three glancing blows on the jaw, and was about to deliver a fourth. when Corbett dropped to his knees. This gave the local man confidence in the fifth round, which proved fatal for him. He met Cor bett's rushes, and in an unguarded mo- ment received a terrific right-hand punch on the jaw which sent him to the floor. He was counted out.

Kindred won at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July 3O.-Eight sprinters went to the post for the handicap at six furlongs. Bas dor, although giving weight to every horse in the race, was made favorite at 0 to 5. Kindred beat the barrier and maintained the advan- tage to the wire. Bas dor got off in the second division and was running over horses at the end, only. being beat en half a length for first money.

 Ira Thomas is the acting captain Of the team. Ira did not have much cap taining to do yesterday and he did not get a chance to call down the umpire, as that official, David J. Hill, perform Quinn pitched both games for Norwich and did not show any signs of weak ening. He had good control, plenty Of speed and the few hits made or him were scattered. Mclean tried to pitch two games Tuesday but he was knocked out of the box in the second game.
 Tuck Turner made the best showing in the hitting line and he sized up both pitchers. Mccarthy duplicated the feat performed by Mcdonnell last week lh making an instantaneous double play himself.

Philadelphia, July 3o.-One of the most sensational knockouts ever wit messed in a local prize ring was scored by Young Corbett, the featherweight champion, at the National Athletic club last night. He had as an oppon- ent Jack O'Neil, who had been 1auded as a fstic wonder, and that O'Neil is not corpse to-day is due to his excel, lent physique. .-s.
 When Corbett hit him he collapsed, and his knees and head struck the res in-coyered' canvas simultaneously O'Neil wriggled like man at ropes end and the referee counted ten before he arose. O'Neil was in a semi-con- scious state when he got up. and stag gering to the ropes, fell against them and then, apparently recovering his senses, he crawled out of the arena, only to collapse again.
 The knockout was complete, and the sensational manner in which the champion delivered the blow soporific took the breath of the spectators. The crowd had been treated to q pretty fair l fight up to the knockout. O'Neil had been trained for weeks to down Coz

Tillman Refused Bail.

The application for bail for ]. II. Till
man for the killing of N. G.. Gonzales
was heard before Chief Justice Pope in
Columbia last Thursday afternoon. The
defendant was represented by Geo. W.
Croft, of Aiken, and P. H. Nelson, of
Columbia, while Solicitor j. VIM. Thur
mond, Judge Andrew Crawford, and G..
Duncan Bellinger represented the prose-
cution. A number of afidavits on both
sides were presented. After hearing
argument of counsel, Judge Pope declined
to grant bail. While he said he would
not give his reasons for denying the ap=
plication, he held that Tillman had prov
ocation, but that he must have had malice
against Gonzales. The right to apply to
another Judge for bail was given, but
this will hardly be done after Judge
Pope's refusal, and Tillman will have to
stay in jail until his trial, which will
possibly take place in Columbia in April.
1t is said that Tillman was much disap-
pointed as he fully expected bail to be
granted him, and already had his bond
filled out so that he could be released
from Jail the same afternoon. Public
sentiment strongly sustains Judge Pope.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to the
subject. 1t is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip), and it
has been observed that this remedy count
eracts any tendency of these diseases to-
ward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied npon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest, then
it is announced that the patient has pneu
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the cold is contracted. 1t always cures

Among the Tarheels.

PINEv1LLE, N. c., Feb 20.-This is not
tthe land of the SIX y"-"Ortolay"-as it
is called in the mellow Indian tongue.
That is over in the Blue Ridge regions
many miles away and once the home and
yicinage of Zeb. Vance, North Carolina's
s'war Governor" and surely this is land
of corn, and rocks and from the days of
ssour rude forefathers" corn whiskey has
been the the proverbial beverage. This
recalls to mind a stanza penned In the
long ago doubtless by veteran tippler:
He who buys land buys many stones,
He who buys fish buys many bones,
He who buys eggs buys many shells,
But he who buys corn whiskey buys
nothing else.
Three or four weeks ago several old
farmers, Confederate veterans and q
merchant were discussing the vagaries
of the weather, etc. One of the former,
who had evidently taken nip or'two of
the juice, said he harvested very poor
crop of wheat last year and If the rains
did not cease soon it would be too late to
plant any more this winter (having sown
some about the 1st of December before
the rains set in) and that twould be dog
goned hard to have to buy white bread"
again this summer. The writer observed
that we ought not to complain as our
sires pulled through 1S16-the year the
summer never did set in, adding in April
of that year, as the record goes, the snow
was from to feet deep and it was too
cold to plant in May. In June the snow
had disappeared but the ground was still
frozen. On July the 4th water froze in
the wells and pitchers; towards noon
snow fell and in the afternoon there was
skating and dancing on the ponds.
Wheat of course was destroyed, but the
little corn tasseled in August and was cut
down for forage. Seed for 1917 had to be
got from the crop of 1915 and the West
Indies. Flour went up to $17.00 barrel.
The old farmer arose from his seat,
leaned over little, and said: stranger,
what year did you say that was?" "1Sl6,
sir" "Well, I'll be goldarned-but where
did the people git any rhino to buy with
eff they made nuthin and got nuthin for
it nayther?' Borrow from those who
had it as they do now," was the reply.
He strobe towards the door, looked over
the creek at the trees, rocks and houses
silhouetted against the nor western horl-
zon saying as he left the steps, sotto yoce:
I'VE don't need any summer SHOWS here"
This is also land of mills, factories,
manufactures and in fact all the in
dustries that tend to the upbuilding of q
great commonwealth. If any one will
give all the other towns and cities in the
State the 90 by and visit only High Point
and Gastonia he will soon be convinced
that this is humming, hustling section,
and that Rip Van Winkleism is a thing
of the past. Some one has said that the
former, though comparatively new town,
is taking the lead in the woodworking
business in the South. 1t has twenty
furniture factories and minor industries
galore A company will soon build a
large silk mill here, employing 1000 hands
to manipulate the raw silk brought from
Japan and Italy.
In future communication something g
may be related of the stealing at night of
a railroad in the "old North State" few
years ago. S. o. JoURNER.

THURSDAY, February rs, 1903.

1t will be noticed that at the union
meetings of the Barnwell Baptist Associ-
alton, to be held on Saturday before the
fifth Sunday in March, the query of "The
tendency to lawlessness in our State,
who is responsible?" will be discussed
by able ministers and men of that church.
We hope and expect much good to re-
suit from the discussion of this very in
portant subject.
*
The refusal of Judge Pope to grant bail
to J. H. Tillman will be surprise to
many people, for it has been the rule in
this State to grant bail in all cases, this
being the only one we have ever known
of where bail for murderer was refused.
The effect of the action of the chief JUS
tice will be we believe to create greater
respect for the law and consequently
greater regard for human life, and God
grant it may be the dawning of better
day for South Carolina.
If a sentiment in favor of law and order
is to be created to any great extent, in so
far as it relates to carrying concealed
weapons and shooting people, we must be-
gin by ostracising socially and in busi-
ness way the man who, habitually violates
the Low hv carrvjnp a weanon on his per-
son. Right here is the great stumbling
block Men carry pistols daily and many
of US know it, but the fact does not seem
to bother US until a good man is shot
down. We firmly believe that back OF all
this lawlessness and murder lies the con-
cealed weapons evil. Until this is eradi-
Gated the condition of affairs will not i'm
prove very much.
