STATUS OF STATE LEAGUE.
BOTH IN oERSoN AND GREEN
WILLIE HAVE WITHDRAWN.
1t is Proposed, However, to Finish Out
the Season With Four Teams if no
Other Towns Come in.

Columbia, July 27.-At a meeting
OF the directors Of the South Carolina
State league, held at the Hotel Jerome
today, Anderson and Greenville with
drew from the league, and the direc-
tors are now endeavoring to get two
osher towns to take up the franchises
dropped. DarEngton's franchise is
transferred to Florence Temporarily
and an effort is being made to secure
two towns to fill out the league. It
has, however, been decided to finish
ont the season with four teams if no
other towns come in.
When the league was organized one
Of the agreements made was that the
league should be disbanded whenever
any one team reported loss Of $500,
which was tue amount put up by each
club. Today Darlington reported that
this amount had been lost, and upon
this showing Anderson and Greenville
stated that they desired to exercise
their right under the rule referred to
and Withdraw from the league, which
they considered was in effect disband-
ed. After the representatives OF
Greenville and Anderson had with
drawn the representatives Of the re-
naming towns undertook to calculat:
on continuing the season until Sep
TEN Der ist, about which time the
schedule winds up.
orangeburg, Sumter and Spartan
burg are anxious to keep the State
league going. Spartanburg declined
TO enter into the proosition made by
Anderson and Greenville to form a
10 oar-club league of Piedmont towns.
1T has been suggested that Anderson,
6zreenville, Spartanburg and AshevilIe
NC uld make a convenient circuil, but
this plan did not meet! the favor Of
the Spartanburg club and the scheme
has fallen through.
Consequently Greenville and An
sderson will not have any more ball
ghis summer, and their players will be
disposed of to other clubs as far as
possible
The State league as originally
formed was never a convenient or
profitable arrangement, since it en-
tailed long jumps and the railroads
got most of the money: With three
low country and three up country
towns in the league the distances
were too great for the league to ever
succeed, and the fact that it has now

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed

*People are often very much dis
appointed to find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Diseases
like cranap collie and cholera morbus
require prompt treatment, and have
in many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or ply
sician summoned. The right way is
tC keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain's Colo, Cholera and Diarhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe
better medicine for these diseases.
By having it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all risk.
Buy it now; it may save life. For sale,

MYSTERY CLEARED BY DEATH.

Autopsy Reveals the fact That Such
Wa, the Abnormal Development
of the Brain C the Rev. William
Aiken Kelly That He Was IRE
sponsible for His Irrational Beha-
vior in Recent Years.
Hundreds Of persons who knew
William Aiken Kelly, at one time one
Of the most forceful and earnest
young ministers Of the Methodist
church in South Carolina, will be
frankly gratihed to learn positively
that which death only could reveal
namely, that the strange and unac-
countable acts which from time to
time marred what would otherwise
have been a brilliant and helpful ca
reer were not the outgrowth Of any
neral turpitude on his part. but were
caused by an abnormal condition Of
the brain, which rendered him men
tally irresponsible for his actions.
Mr.. Kelly's strangely checkered life
cane to a close in Knoxville, Tenn, on
June % Of this year. His body was
brought to this city for interment, but
before his remains were laid to rest
an autopsy was held. The result Of
this autopsy. appears in the following
letter and statement:
Charleston, S. c., June 20, 1907.
CDR. T. P. Whaley, Charleston, S. C.
Dear Doctor: The following are the
findings in an autopsy held at the j.
M Connelley Company's rooms June
25, 1907, upon the remains Of Mr.. W.
Aiken Kelly:
''The brain only was examined.
There were no adhesions between the
Dura and inner table Of skull. Dura
much thickened, especially SO for
about three-fourths Of an inch on
eli her side of the longitudinal hssure,
and extending its entire length. Por-
tions of this tIickened area contained
numerous large thick-walled vessels,
and was for the most part thoroughly
adherent to the Arachnoid beneath.
After dissecting up the Dura from
these areas the Arachnoid and Pia
could not be distinguished as such,
the suface of the brain being covered
by thick fbrous membrane, espe-
cially noticeable over the motor cor
teal region, where it was not only
adherent firmly to the surface Of the
brain, but extended well down be-
tween the convolutions. This struc-
ture, taking the place Of the Arach-
mold and Pia, was very vascular, con-
tanning numerous large vessels. The
brain beneath these areas cs.t with
more resistance than normal, the
section showing just below the sur
face numerous enlarged blood YES

9aTre whole condition was indicat-
i've of chronic pachymeniEgitis with
rather marked fbrous tissue increase
and adhesions.

WHO USES HYoMEIf
The Best People in Abilene, Says j.
M. GIeissner. Guaranteed in
Catarrhal Troubles.

No other remedy or treatment Tor
catarrh has ever been>as popular or
made SO many remarkable cures in
Abilene as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues, says J. M. Gleissner' who has
the local agents. The fair way in
which Hyomei was sold, to refund the
money unless it gave satisfaction, was ,
the best proof when it was introduced
that it possessed unusual curative
powers. j. M. Gleissner took all the
risk Of the treatment giving satisfac-
ton, and left it to the purchasers TO
be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well-known
PHYSICIANS and businessmen and their
wives as q treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh, no matter how serious
or long standing, the sales rapidly
grew and today there is no other
remedy in j. M. Gleissner's stock that
has such large and staple sale.
The first breath OF Hyomti's heal
ing air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyomei today on J. M, Gleiss'

TheLecture Course.

The lecture course committee is
meeting with great success in the
initial canvass with tickets. The
offer Of six high class entertainments
for $500 is too good to refuse. With
in the next few days there will be
enough advance tickets sold to insure
the financial success Of the enterprise.
To facilitate the sale the committees
has placed tickets at Hubbard's,
Sterl's and the theatre office. 1t will
be best to secure tickets in advance
in order to save time and worry when
the reservations are made.
The ticket purchasers have unani'
mously objected to the plan Of re-
serving seats for each number as they
come and the committee is forced to
accede to the demand that seats for
the season be reserved at the begin
ming of the course. The reservation
for the season will take place on We'd
nesday, Oct. 20. at l o'clock at the
Seelye theatre. No person will be
permitted to reserve more than si'
seats and no telephone orders will b
received until after the line hal
passed.
