COLLEGE BALL PROSPECT.

The state association have played one
or more games thus allowing an in
sight into the strength Of the differ
clt teams to be secured Newbcrry
and Clemson are the only two teams
in the association that have not tast-
ed defeat and it would appear at this
stage that the race is to be between
these two teams.
Clinton is entirely out of the run
ming not having won a game out Of
the five that she has played. This
practically eliminates them from the
race. Furman has played two games
losing one Of Carolina and winning
from Clinton. Furman s team is in-
proving daily and it must be cosiler-

ed III the race. Wofford never fails
t" put out a strohg team and reports
from the camp of the Methodist say
that the team this year is sure to
be i'll the runting. Wofford has play
ed two games, winning one from Car
olina and losing one to the same team.
Wofford and Furman are both goo
teams but whether they are in, Glenn
son IS and Newberry's class remains
to be seen.
Erslline has II good team but, it has
already been defeated by Newberry
Carolina is practically out Of the
running having been defeated by
Newberry, Clemson and Wofford.
She won out from Furman but by q
close score.
It looks now as if the race will
be between Newberry and Clemson
with the odds little in favor of the
Lutherans. Newberry defeated Car
olina by q much larger score than
did the Clemson bunch, though it is
hardly safe to figure on n team s
strength by that. Newberry defeated
Clinton by about the same score
Clemson did, so this would make it
appear that the two teams are pref
ty evenly matched.
The race, however, is ::nt over and
the championship belongs to Amy body
but ii does look now as if the Far
mers and the Lurhcrmms have tho
best show at it, Furman : team has
not given up hope but is still in the
race and u'ltlcr Coach Price they yet
may surprise somebody. Their next
game is with the Charleston boys
here on Saturday.
The above from the Greenvillc
News will be interesting to lovers of
base ball as we'll as to the friends Of
Newberry college.
Newberry has fine opportunity to
win the championship, and Newber-
ry is expecting the college team to do
this.

MANAGER FOR BOAT LINE.
Mr.. I. L. Withcrs Has Resigned and
Mr.. j. w. Smith Has Taken
the Position.

"Mr. I. l.. Witlers stated yestcr-
day that the directors of the Column
bia boat line 'had accepted the re-
signatioM which he placed with them
some time ago and that Mr.. J. w.
Smith. now of Newberry, had been
elected manager of the boat line.
"Mr Withers has managed the
business Of the boat line very success
fully for two years. He organized
tfe rate system and secured the ship
mdHIts which have made the line suc-
rcssful financially. But Mr.. Withers
desired to engage in other lines of
work and has just been holding on
until The company could find his
successor.
"Mr. Smith is an old hand at the
business and he will take up the work
where Mr.. WhhcrS leaves it with the
expectation of pushing it with the
use of additional capital. For sever
al years Mr.. Smith was agent at Saw
anHmh for the Merchants and Min
ers' Steamship company and he is
thcrcu9hly familiar with river traf-
tic and rates. He will make no chan
pes in the present system for month
or two, but eventually he hopes to
bring more moNpy into the company
and add at least one more boat.
"That has been the only draw
back to the linc-thc need Of boats.
'Thc company has had ali the freight
it. wished, IT," shippers were saved a
LOT If money OH freight. and thc
commIA dly has been helped, but the
Ncat lines existence has not yet bat
tered down railroad freight rates for
lack Of boats.
"As seen as the boat line has two
or three more steamers plying be-
tween Columbia and Georgetown there
will hr an appreciablc reduction in
freight rates and new industries will
be located here. 1t was brought out
Wcdnc day at the meeting of the
cotton seed oil crushcrs that com
pany which had organized to build a
refinery here might locate III coast
town in another state in order to Sc
cure the water rates.
"The boat line has survived many
obstacles and will yet, no doubt
bring Columbia The advantage of wat
cr ratcs.'
The above is taken from the State
of Sunday.
Mr.. Smith has been living in New.
berry for the past several mos1ths
and it was Thought that he wouli
remain with us and engage in some
enterprise in Ncwbcrry but his friends
here will be glad to see him succeed
with this water line and with his
experience with transportation com
ranies and his knowledge Of the busi
mess they expect him to make a sue
cess of the Enterprise.

Your correspondent is glad to see
you raspin" The c., n. & l.. manage
mcnt for their neglect or careless
ness or Indifference concerning the
movement of citizens for union de-
pot al Ncwberry. People in Lmrens
will tell you that you need not eX-
pcct much consideration for the public
welfare or convenience at the hands
of the c., N. & l.. That road is in
the business solely for the money.
'"rhc public be DID," We hope
the nrxt legislature will look after
that great corporation.
Maybe your readers are not famil-
lar with the treatment a crowd of
Laurcns people lately received from
that same corporation. We were 60
ing to the Cansmm exhibition in
Ncwbcrry. No one was tryitg to run
an excursion. or the ease would have
been entirely different IT was simply
4 ease of many citizens desiring to go
ter the pcrformatmc. The railroad
authorities knew Of it in ample time.
Trouble WAS taken to oct list Of
names Of those expecting to go,
which was shown to them. Nothing
would do but the deposit Of $50, which
they expected some private party to
put up whether he had time to- look
after the matter onr not, gratis and
to the neglect of his business. A pro-
position was made to them to let this
private party retain what might be
realized over that amount when the
so would be forthwith deposited.
That offer being refused PROPOSE
tio WIS made to charter the train.
which also was refused. They would
not let anybody make MWthing out
Of ii. and yet, with large crowd
ready to 20, they would not turn a
pee to accommodate them. The crowd
was there to buy tickets much in cx-
cess Of the amount stipulated. But,
no: they had said there must be a
deposit Of $50, and they were going
to stick 10 it. as much as to say:

THE HIGH SCHOOL LAW.

When the high school bill was pass
ed, we remarked at the time that
Winnkboro could not get Amy of the
benefits Of the appropriations pro-
vidcd for III the same on account of
the limitations placed upon the bill
as to towns Of 1000 or more imalabi-
tants. However, the state board of
education has practically decided that
while this provision docs apply to
towns it does not apply to townships
in which such towns are situate cd
Winnsboro us Il towiW could get none
Of the benefits Of this appropriation
but as Il part Of a township or Il com
bination Of townships it can. So there
is an opportunity for it to get one of
these high schools and here is an OPP
port,nity for the business men Of
this community to ~ct to work to Get
HIGH school under the provisions of
thiS act There is no tnwN in South
Carolina that has better inducements
FOR the establishment of just such Il
school. With its already admirable
high school department it could with
but few changes in the management
of the same adapt itself to the new
conditions provided for under this
act and make it possible for there
to be established here a high school
that will so supplement The work Of
the rural schools adjacent hereto
THAT the educational gap in the com
mon schol system of the county
would he wholly filled. All the nee
csS~'ry DETAILS for getting one Of
these high schools can Not be given
here at this time, but it is up to the
business men Of the community TO
beNtir themselves. Rock Hill and
Chester and other towns are already
moving in this matter and WinnS-
boro must not be behind. 1t will re-
quirc prompt action or the full sum
appropriated will be exhausted be-
