MAYESVILLE.

Mayesville, June 1.-THE Bush
League of South Carolina opens here
thursday when G. fast aggregation OF
ball tossers invades the local camp.
Mayes and Mayes younger brothers
of the old battery will do the deliv-
ering and receiving Of the home team
and upon them relies the task Of put
ting the blocks to the visitors. II
they cannot do the proper Work,
Chandler and Corbett will be given a
try out. At a meeting of the players
a few days ago, C. E. Mayes was
elected captain of the team. Bic"
knows every detail of the game and
it's worth money to see him put his
men through a fast practice.
Mayesville has fast set of men on
the bases so the opposing catcher
can exercise his wing as an innova-
ton.
A large crowd Of followers will ac-
company The St. Charles team. Very
noticeable is the fact that the fair
sex from those. regions don't mind
smiling to see St. Charles play. The
park is being put in good condition
and the diamond is faster than ever.
Much surprise was expressed when
Sumter's Game Cocks made such
gallant opening in Orangeburg. Say,
Chappie, let Columbia keep the name
of Game Cocks even if Sumter has
first claim. AS was expected Cam
den, under the leadership of Guy
Gunter, walloped Manning, and Dar-
lington put dampers in the playing
pipes of Georgetown. The season is
Just beginning and those remarks
may look like the "chief looser"
little later. At the present writing
the standing of the clubs in the opin-
ion of the writer is: Orangeburg.
Camden, Darlington, Sumter, George
town and Manning. It is up to the
last four clubs to do some tall re-
cruiting and strengthen up a little.
Nervousness may be the chief fault
now but the next few weeks should
wear off all rough edges.

Hagood's Crop Report.

Crop conditions in the old Game
Cock county were never fairer, though
they are bit backward, two weeks,
perhaps. Starting out from the far
famed, ver-to-he-forgotten (?)
Dinkins peninsula, one sees the crops
of cotton of Lepas Tav:s on the right
and of wide-a-wake, energetic Syl-
vester Allen growing, full of promise,
the latter clean as a garden. Then
comes W. J. spencer, small man,
but chock full of energy, with every
thing in fine SHAPE H made a spien-

SMITH WON'T RUN.
CAMDEN Man WILL NOT BE CAN
DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
Acts on Physicians Advice MIR.
Smith Will Stand for Reelection to
the House or Go to the Senate.

Speaker NJ. L. Smith has decided
not to enter the race for governor
Mr.. Smith made the announcement
while in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Smith has had strong pressure
to enter the race and his prospects
were regarded as good. Mr.. Smith
has, however, for some time been in
bad health, not serious, but unsatis-
factory. His physicians advised him
that it would be exceedingly urwise
to undertake a campaign. Mr.. Smith
thought that he might be able to get
in shape for the contest and has been
hoping up to the last moment to be
able to enter the fight. He has, how
ever, consented to accept the serious
advice of his physicians and will not
enter the contest for governor, but
expects to take a complete rest Mr..
Smith has deferred making any an
nouncement or fling his pledge in the
hope that his health might permit Of
his fling his pledge, but with the.
warning Of his doctors he did not
care to take the hazard.
1t might be stated that the state is
not to lose the experience and ability
Of Speaker Smith, as his friends in
sist on his remaining in public life and
he will be either reelected to the house
or to the state senate from his county,
without opposition. Senator Hay has
declined to stand for reelection, and
the desire seems to be to have Mr.
Smith accept this position, and if he
does not run for the house again he.
will stand for the senatorship from
his county. Mr. Smith does not ex-
pect to keep out Of public affairs, ana
he had set his heart and his head
very much on the approaching cam
paign and it is said that he is very
much disappointed that he will not
be able to go into the contest.-The.

WAIT FOR HUNGER.
Good Advice From j. f. w. DeLorme
as to How to Create an Appetite.

Any physician will tell you that it
is unwise to eat unless one is really
hungry. 1t is far better 20 miss a
meal than to eat without appetite.
But do not take a tonic, stimulant,
or appetizer to make you hungry. j.
F. W. DeLorme says that the pest
way to create an appetite is to restore
the digestion to health by the use Of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets, a reliable
remedy that they have sold With the
best of satisfaction.
When Mi-o-na is used, the irrita-
ton and inflammation Of the stomach
coating will be soothed, the gastric
follicles will be strengthened so that
they will pour out the natural diges-
tive fluids with regularity, and the
food you eat will be perfectly di-
gested without distress. All head
aches, sleeplessness. specks before the
eyes, poor appetite, tired feelings,
nervousness, back-aches, and other
troubles caused by a poor digestion
Will soon disappear, and you will feel
we'll all over.
"A large box of Mi-o-na stomoch
tablets is sold for SO cents by ]. F. w.
DeLorme, ana it is so successful and
reliable in curing Indigestion and
other stomach troubles, With the eX-
ception of cancer of the stomach that
he sells it under a guarantee that the
money will be refunded unless it does
all that is claimed for it.
If you have any stomach weakness,
here is an opportunity to be cured
without risking a cent yourself.

MAYESVILIlE.

Mayesville, June s.-The Mayes-

a decided hit on Thursday night
when they presented the following
comic sketches with specialties:

Jokes were well received as time and
time again the Ethiopians were call
I'd back on the stage. Parodies on
popular songs with prominent citizens
used for a good thing brought forth
much, applause. The manager OF
the Musical COMEDY has been re-
uuested to give another entertain

company is booked for other towns
~ will be some time before the pro-
gramme can be changed.

a start again. Last season Mayesville
put out one Of the fastest amateur
teams in the state. In the early part
of the season practice was resumed,
bnt the amount Of proper material
was wanting and the fans and play
ers seemed to loose all interest. Now
that some college men are available,

HARTMAN TUNNEL
UNDER SEATTLE
IMMENSE TERMINAL GROUNDS
ARE TO BE BUILT.
Railroad Company Asks for Franchise
for Tunnel Costing S1,OO0,O0O-It
Means Great Commercial Develop
mcnt for City of Seattle-Will Re-
quire Two Years to Complete 1t.

Seattle, May 17.-Another Million
dollar project for Seattle was launch
ed last night when the Hartman in
terests made application to the city
council for a franchise to construct a
tunnel under the city.
The tunnel provides for two tracks,
will be approximately of the same
size as the Great Northern bore, and
will follow a route under the city
about a block east of the Hill tunnel.
The approximate cost is not given,
but will be about the same as the
Great Northern tunnel-a million dol
lars-and its construction will give
employment to large force of work
men for upwards of two years.
1t is probable that work on the big
bore will be inaugurated as soon as
all OF the franchise matters of the
Hartman lines are satisfactorily set
tied.
The franchise provides for the pay
ment by the railroad compang of all
damages resulting from the construc-
ton Of the tunnel.
The tunnel when completed will
have a clear width of 26 feet, as COM
pared with 80 feet in the Hill tunnel.
The crown of the lining of the roof
will be at no point higher than so
feet above the city datum line, as
compared with 40 feet in the Great
Northern tunnel.

INDoRsEs EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Idaho Justice OF Supreme Court
Pleads With Oregon Voters.

Justice of the Supreme Court of
Idaho Isaac ~ Sullivan, who has been
a close observer of equal suffrage in
his state, endorses 1t in the following
emphatic terms:
II most earnestly endorse the prin-
ciple of government by the consent of
the governed" says Justice Sulli-
van. I'm Idaho constitutional
amendment was adopted in 1896, at
the general election that year, grant
ing TO women the equal right of suf-
frage with the men of our state.
"Slnce the adoption OF that amend
ment / have carefully observed the
workings of woman suffrage in this
state, and am fully convinced that it
has been conducive to the betterment
of the social and political conditions
of the people of this state. The women
OF Idaho take an interest in the po-
litical affairs of the town, city, county
and state. and their influence therein
has elevated the political standard
years ago.
AT our general elections very
large percentage of the women vote,
and woman suffrage is now favored by
a large majority of the electors of
our state. I most earnestly endorse
1t, and sincerely hope that the good
men of Oregon will endorse that prin-
ciple at the coming state election by
an overwhelming majority"

ELKS GET CONCESSIONS.
Cheap Rates for Grand Lodge I'm
Denver Next July.

Railroad men of this city say that
the best concessions ever made to any
organization by the railroads have
been secured by the Elks who meet
in Denver next July. All roads in
the Western Passenger association
will sell tickets at reduced rates with
return limit up to and including
August 20, with liberal stop-over
privileges. A round trip from Chi
cago st. Paul, Minneapolis and other
points in the central states to Dem
yer and return, has been placed at $25.
From Missouri river points the round
trip rate Is SIS. Eastern roads as
far east as Buffalo have made a uni
form rate to Chicago of one fare for
the round trip plus 25 cents, and be-
tween the Atlantic coast and Buffalo
the rate is one fare for the round
trip plus 81.
These are merely samples of the
great reductions that have been made
on all lines leading to Denver, and the
movement toward that city for the
Elks' reunion is expected to exceed
any previous record in railroading.
The passenger associations in every
section of the country have apparent
ly united to make the Elks' reunion
in Denver a magnificent success.
A large delegation will go from
this state, and will make little jour-
neys to the mines and mountain re-
sorts of Colorado before returning
home. Accommodations have been
made in Denver for 100000 visitors.

GERMANY NOT A GOOD MARKET.
Few Automobiles and Motor Boats
Sold I'm That Country.

Washington, d. c., May 16.-The
United States consul in Mannheim,
writing I'm response to an inquiry on
the possible demand for motor boats
in Germany says:
"It would seem that Germany
should be n good market for motor
boats on account of the many naviga-
BILE rivers, but boating has never be-
come a popular Teutonic amusement
Mannheim, which is situated at the
junction of the Rhine and Neckar
boasts of only one or two motor boats.
The same undeveloped taste exists in
regard to automobiles. With superior
highways and picturesque drives, ru-
tomobiles are not used for pleasu"e.
Naturally a people who have not
cared to drive for recreation have n ot
cared to use the automobile and Ger
man factories are selling their ma
chimes largely in England and other
countries, finding the home market a
very limited one, restricted almost al
together to the sporting class"
