WITHIN THE TOWN.

For some reason interest In base
ball has been dormant in Yorkville for
several years except among the juven-
lies. This season, however, 1t would
seem, will witness as much enthusiasm
as during any previous one. There
are quite a number Of amateurs in and
around town who play good ball. among
them being Marshall and Roy Nell,
Latta Parish. Paul Moore, Harvey
witherspoon, Marion Stokes, Tschar-
ner DeGraffenreid, Keene Dobson, Ross
Clinton, Roy Carroll, Crawford Moore,
Roe Willis, Moffatt Kennedy, Quay
McEwee, Bert Smith, Leon Walker
During the present week two games
have been played between mines made
up of the above named young men and
both contests were close, interesting
and at times, amusing.
For sometime past someone has
been meddling with the public water
trough located nearly opposite the Ia
vora Cotton mill, causing a consider
able waste of water. The policemen
have been on the lookout for the often
der, but not until a few days ago was
sufficient evidence secured against Ma
son Lee, a boy IA or Is years Of age,
to warrant his arrest. Chief Love saw
him near the mill on Wednesday and
undertook to capture him, but he made
good his escape. Yesterday, Mr.. Tru-
man Turner, who knew the boy was
wanted, captured him as he was in the
act of boarding a freight train with the
ostensible purpose Of leaving town.

THERE is not a community in Rock
Hill nor a neighborhood in York coun-
ty that Is not infested by illegal whis-
ky sellers, mostly negroes, who were
once good farm hands, but the taking
away of the right to sell whisky legal
ly except in state dram shops has turn
ed it's sale over to an irresponsible
class who are running it's labor, encour-
aging the violation of law, and sending
South Carolina to the demnition bow
vows a!s fast as it can go.-Rock Hill
Herald.
Possibly this is rather too sweeping
for the exact truth; but as tough as
it is, in a general way it is pretty near
ly correct. And the worst part OF
it is. there seems to be no way
to change the situation. Occasion
ally the state is able to run a
competitor to earth; but the number of
arrests that are made during the year
compared with the number of liquor
sellers who go unearthed is absurdly
insignificant.

WASHINGTON correspondents are
writing Of an alleged thoroughly or
ganized scheme among the leading
Democratic politicians to try to secure
the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland at ST.
Louis. There is no reason whatever to
believe that Mr.. Cleveland is a party
to the plan or that he would accept
even if it should prove successful. It
is quite probable, however, that there
is something behind the stories that
are being sent out and it may be that
some of the politicians are going to
make use of the existing confidence in
Cleveland to accomplish ends Of their
own.

MORE TERRIFIC FIGHTING.
Russians Best Japs on Sea and JaPs
Win Another Land Fight.

Win Another Land Fight.
Fragmentary reports are coming III OF
more serious fighting between Russians
and Japanese on both land and sea,
and while details are lacking the Rus
slams seem to have been defeated In
another bloody battle, while the Japs
have probably sustained a pretty Sc
we're loss on the sea.
The land fight Is reported to have
taken place last Tuesday at Telussi,
about eighty miles north Of Port Ar
thur, and the Russian losses are said
to be in the neighborhood of 1000, IN
Guiding not less than 500 killed. The
Japanese losses were also quite heavy;
but the Japanese put the Russians to
rout and succeeded in cutting their re-
treat to pieces. Many guns and large
quantities of supplies were captured.
The Japanese transports, Hitachi and
Sado, both loaded with troops for ar
mics in Manchuria, encountered the
Russian Vladivostok squadron on
Wednesday. The encounter was In the
nature of a surprise, and although the
result is not definitely known, there Is
reason to believe that the transports
have Jared badly. Another transport
that was also along. managed to make
it's escape and bring the news of the
sit,iition to Toxic.
st. Petersburg has news Of pending
engagements between the armies and
fleets and there Is great excitement
there. It is expected that details OF
the most serious fighting that has oc-
Cured up to this time will be received
within the next day or two.

and was admitted to the bar, decided
last week that he would not locate IN

Mr.. Owens has a strong penetrative
mind, Is a convincing, effective speaker,
and, we believe, will achieve distinction
as a lawyer. However high in the es-
TEEN of his birth place young man
may be held, and Mr.. Owens occupied
an enviable place in the estimation OF
our people, we are convinced that he
did the right thing in moving away
from the people who are so familiar to
him and casting his lot among stran-
gers.

THE Iowa supreme court has just
rendered decision that is regarded as
a most serious setback to the manu-
facturers of oleomargarine. 1t is to the
effect that oleomargarine must not
have a yellow color even though that
color be natural instead Of artificial.
This the court holds, is the meaning
of the act of congress on the subject,
and Armour & Co., and other packers
are represented as being very much
concerned about the matter, holding
that since they are not allowed to dis
pose of certain animal products to the
best advantage, they will be compelled
to either lower the price of live stock
or raise the price of beef

question on July 5, and will determine
whether the city shall have saloons as

hibition. 1T is safe to say" the Wax

the church people will vote for liquor
in one form or other, and that Char
lotte is in no danger whatever of going
dry" This is absolutely cruel says

THE WOMAN WHO WORKS

Many a position has been obtained upon
appearances. A round-shouldered woman
may be a better worker than her spright-
~ stepping sister, but she won't get a
chance to prove it. A position, true. can
be HELD only upon merit, but it is
necessary to get it before it is possible
to show that one has the ability TO keep
it,
The successful business woman will give
heed to a few principles about self Of
which principles the unsuccessful woman
is forgctful.
The woman who gets the chance to try
is the WOMAN WHO APPEARS WELL.
She trains herself to walk lightly upon the
balls OF her feet, with her chest held high
and her spine straight. This position ex-
presses energy and sprightliness What
has the employer to judge by except what
the woman herself suggests? She will
further be careful about her diet: this will
keep her skin clear and give her eye a
brightness which speaks well for under
standing and alertness, which comes with

stated that he was astonished that The

Il want to say that this editorial was

continued. 1T is my opinion that the

forts to save themselves by the use OF

Hugh Farley, the Democratic nominee
for the council from the Third ward, also
spoke. He stated that this issue of a
closed or an open town was circulated
to attract peoples minds from the real
issue, which is the tax question.

Wright was the first speaker, and was fol
lowed by L. l.. Hiberly and j. T. Eshel-

said: d
"The speakers for Mayor Campbell have
not raised any other issue. The mayor and
