RoWdyism in Baseball.

The following from the Little Rock
Gazette shows that they are having
! troubles with rowdyism in the South
ern league. What the Gazette says
about il is true. and President Kava-
| naush will have the support OF the
people in putting it down:
,Wrangles between the umpires and
players are becoming to frequent in
the Southern league, and without dis.
cussing the merits in the several diff
ferent cases, the infelicities of the dia
mond must be stopped or it will be
good night to baseball in these parts
Rows galore have occurred recently
and the public on whom baseball and
the players connected with it depend
for their living. is growing restless
Rot without cause, either. Does one
care to pay a quarter for the privilege
of hearing a player call an umpire
"big billygoose" and 10 have the latter
reply Five for YOU? % If an act of this
kind We're burlesqued on the stage it
might be funny but when people 60 to
a baseball park their idea is to see q
ball game All those who participate
in the disturbances are of age and
should know what the proprieties are.
If they are mature and are not up 70
the standard OF proper conduct, the
sooner they are put out of the game
the better for the Southern league.
President kavanaugh. in discussing
the matter yesterday with a Gazette
reporter, said:
The umpires in the Southern
league have been instructed that the
wrangling must be stopped and that
every man on all the teams who en-
cages in wraneling shall be suspended.
I believe that impartial judges Will
say that the Southern league has
competent staff of umpires From the
work | have seen and from unbiased
reports which reach me have arrived
at that conclusion, and | intend to
back up the umpires from headquar-
ters in enforcing discipline and stop
ping rowdyism and umpire batting.
When it comes to the punishment of
players. violation of the rules and dis
cipline I am governed by the official
reports of the umpires as made to me
and enforce the penalties which they
impose.
In this connection it might be men
toned that two of the umpires now
officiating in the Southern league were
engaged in the baseball business while
some of the players who have roasted
them were wearing Buster Browns.
An unbiased public may judge who
knows the game better.

eran against veteran and the local
man won. 1t is true that errors
helped the locals to score, but they
made enough runs to win without
those scored by errors. Grubb's
two timely singles helped to bring in
four of the runs. and to him belongs
a goodly share Of the credit.

PROPER TREATMENT OF PNEU.
M0NIA

Pneumonia Is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himse'f, although be may have the pro-
per remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneu-
nomia always results from a cold or
from an attack Of the grip, and that by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
the threatened attack Of pneumonia
may be warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DIR.

MORE OIL MILLS
AND MORE MONEY,
a LanfOrd Farmer Believes in Estab-
fishing More Sm.ll Industries
at Home.
LANToRD STATION, March 18th.

DANFORD STATION, March 18th.
EDITOR, THE ADVERTISER, SIR: The
article in your issue of Mar. 10th,
headed "What will Laurens do in re-
gard to building Small Manufactures"
is on the right line.
We have openings in Laurans for
several oil mills, which would return
the natural profits of the farm back to
the farmers. The time has already
come when the il at and oil are the only
products of the cotton crop sent to
market. Why SHOULD III, farmers sell
their seed at a low price in the Fall
and buy back the meal in high priced
Euano the next Sp;ing? The seed
shipped to the mills are ground up,
then the meal is freighted to a distant
Euano factory, mixed into a~mmoniated
fertilizer and sold back to 1.-THE farmer
the following Spring at @ high pcice,
Including al The different freight
charges.
How a we succeed with such IN IN
fgement? The system must be changed.
".he sooner We iird out the value OF our
products and inti oduce business meth
rds into marketing them, the quicker
Will prosperity return.
By erecting small oil mi Is of ten
Ions daily capacity. the farmers can
Ire;s the oil out of their seed and sell
Ut direct to the larger mills, keeping
The meal and hulls at home, and make
as much money out of the sale OF the
oil as they have been heretofore re.
ceiving for the uncrusbed seed at
n mills. This is not the only advan-
tage to be gained by handling our own
seed. If the farmers would keep their
meal at home there would no longer be
any need for buying ammoniated guano.
With the meal kept on the farm, every
farmer can purchase his own phosphate
and potash, mix the different elements
In proper proportions and manufacture
his own fertilizer.
Wherever small oil mills have been
in operation they have given perfect
satisfaction and have paid an average
OF 8 per cent dividend on investment,
annually.
Farmers, we should build oil mile
wherever we can get as many az zoe
Ions OF seed together by wagon. We
will u no risk.

A Contrast.

While The ADVERTISER does not
agree to the views of Governor Yarda-
man on negro education, his manly
consistency compels approval. In per-
o he helped to rescue a negro from
lynchers and then vetoed a bill appro.
priating money for n negro school.
A governor of South Carolina some
ten years ago refused a negro protec-
ton and in eff ect delivered him over to
lynchers. The negro had come to Co
lumbia, seeking safety, from the town
Of Denmark. B. r Tillman allowed
him to be carried back to Denmark
where his supposed victim declared
that he was not the guilty man. But
the negro was lynched.
Governor Vardaman went to the
town where a negro was III danger and
brought him to Jackson, the capitol of
Mississippi. There the negro was held
in safety. We do not know that Till
man, when governor, vetoed any bills
for negro education.

As to q Freight DepOt.

1t was stated authoritatively that
work would begin on a new freight de-
pot for Laurens on June /, 1902. TWEEN
ty-one months have passed and not a
brick has been laid. OF course IL is not
the concern of the people whether or
not a depot be built. The railway is a
business concern trying to make money
and IL it chooses to do business in Lau-
rens without depots whatever, what
has Laurens to do with that? Such is
the viewpoint of the railway company
from which, at least, it acts.
