Mr.. Sanders was well aware OF silas

induced him TO turn his feet in that d.

at this particular hour, and he was not
disappointed. Silas was sitting aloof
from the crowd. his chair leaning against
one Of the columns. his legs crossed,
his eyes closed, and his hands folded in
his lap.
The crowd of loungers was somewhat
larger than usual. Lawyer Tidwell was
taking advantage of the occasion to ex-

and intricate constitutional problems He
lowered his voice slightly. as he saw

Railway between Tryon and Melrose.
n. c.. is being removed as rapidly as
possible. and until this is removed en-
tirely. passengers are being transferred
at that point, about $50 yards.
Both the trains leaving Columbia at

through via Spartanburg to the point
of the landslide, at which point they
will be promptly transferred and taken
forward from the landslide to Ashe-
Vile and beyond. The same arrange
ment is in effect for trains from
Asheville in the direction of Columbia
and Spartanburg, therefore passengers
going to points between Tryon and
Asheville can reach those points by

lay
The Southern Railway is handling
all passengers holding tickets via
Asheville, either via Rock Hill and
Marion or via Spartanburg, Blacksburg

DO YOU SPLIT YOUR
INFINITIVES?

From the New York Advertiser.
A correspondent addresses to the
Voice of the People editor. a query
which seems pregnant enough for spe-
cial attention. 1t is: What is the
split infinitive, and what makes II such
a bugbear? Why should not the infini-
tive be split in the interest OF eupho-
N.Y."
The split infinitive, IL we mistake not.
came In about the same time, as ap-
pendicitis and "hh de steele" Ten
years ago people split infnitives the
same as kindling wood, and thought
nothing OF Il. They just wrote English
and bothered not with questions as TO
the proper use Of that and which, ="
and other horrors. But that was long
time ago. We have changed an thar.
We now say he crept stealthilY" not
he steathily crept." The man who

THE CURVED BALL
How 1t Is Described by the Boy In
the Street.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
There is one science which is under
stood and described with as much en-
thusiasm by the boy of the street,
with his peculiar vernacular, as II is by
the learned college professor" remark
ed a man who takes more pleasure in
studying the percentages of the ball
teams than any of the other weighty
national and international problems.
That is the science of the curved ball.
Here is how it was explained to me the
other day by youthful participant in
a very warm game at the foot of the
Washington monument;
"'Ah, OATS easy. All yer got to
know Is dat de ball skates after its
twist. and den get yer fist trained ter
do the biz. If yer wants ter fool de
guy wild de stick by de drop whirler
yer jest pass it out under desc two
fingers after yer spit on yer hand to
make de top spin. Turn her over de
top fingers, and de flying machine goes
up When she is ter waltz just out
side de reach of de stick de twist must
be on the dead level, swinging out. If
yer want t puncture de guy in de ribs
do de level twist on de inside, and
OATS ALL
These are the four curves properly
described according to the accepted ex-
PLANTATION of the best professional
twirler, and mean, when translated,
that the ball follows its nose. If it
leaves the pitchers hand revolving
downward on a horizontal axis it is
bound to drop. If it leaves his hand
revolving upward it follows its nose
and rises. When the ball travels on a
vertical axis, revolving outward from
the batsman, the outward curve is the
result and, similarly, on a vertical axis
with an inward revolution, the in
shoot is caused. The outdrop is the
result of the ball travelling on slant
ing axis with an outward revolution,
and so so.
"All of these young enthusiasts are
scientists of the first water, and they
are undoubtedly the embryo professors
of a few years hence"

WILL PUT SALT IN 1T.

Prof. S. w. McCallie, assistant state
geologist has been inspecting at Quit
man the subterranean stream
discovered 100 feet below the
surface by a gang of men
who were boring an artesian WELL
as told in the Morning News. Seeing
that the effort 70 secure artesian FHater
from this we'll was failure, the au-
thorities concluded to utilize the
stream for the purpose of carrying off
the sewage of the city. Before doing
this. however, they sent for Prof Nc
Callie to ascertain if the pouring of
sewage down the shaft and into the
stream was likely to contaminate the
water supply of Quitman, cambridge,
Valdosta, Boston. Townsville and
other cities of that section of the
state. If 1t did not, the people of
Quitman wanted to use the stream to
carry off the sewage of the city, but if
the use would in any way destroy the
purity of the water, then they would
abandon the idea and fill up the shaft
leaving the stream to continue bust
ness in it's own way. After consult
ing with the people of Quitman. Prof
McCallie suggested that a good way
to test the matter would be to analyze
the water used in that section of the
S'oIC' IiCh NNliP SCNCl al IOlS VI salt
down the shaft into the stream, and
later make second analysis of the
water, so as to see if any change in its
taste or color had resulted from the
sailing of the stream. If none was
noticeable, then no harm could come
of using the stream for the purpose Of
carrying away the sewage of the city
The suggestion offered by Prof Nc
Callie will be carried out, and in a
short time it is hoped that the people
of Qutman will have all the informa-
ton that they desire upon the subject
The samples of water will be sent to
Atlanta to be tested by Prof. Nc
Candless, the state chemist.
