Yesterday.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

WACO, Tex, Marcn 26.-How long IS
hat batting streak that is due the
Washington ball team going to be de-
layed? The answer TO this problem
would be greatly appreciated by
group of twenty hardy athletes, man
Rger, treasurer. trainer, and one base
ban writer now in the Sunny South.
Six hits were all Washington could get
yesterday on the Waco pitchers, and
The misery is worse when it is remem-
bered Waco finished last in the South
Texas League for two years in success
sion. Also Hornsby, who pitched the
last four for Waco yesterday, IS not
considered a star in the company he
now keeps.
Both strength and accuracy are miss
ing in the work Of the Capitalites with
the stick Anderson, Hickman. and
Altizer are seldom able to get under the
ball for a satisfactory clout, and when
they do it sails gracefully TO some
fielder. Ganley and Blankenship, new
men, are doing some of the most relia-
bic singing. Perrine is another new
conner who is showing well in spots.
Game Decidedly Unsatisfactory.
Although Washington won yesterday
by 10 /, the game was decidedly un-
satisfactory at the bat. The redeeming
feature was the perfect way in which
Cross and Perrine worked the hit-and-
run game in the first inning
Perrine was on second, the signal was
given, and the runner played away of
The shortstop hurried for second to get
Perrine, but just then Cross drove a
liner exactly past where the ambitious
Waco infelder should have been. Per
rtne came home on the play. In the
third inning, with Ganley on drst, Cross
tried the same trick, but fouled to
third.
The Waco diamond is as hard as a
brick, while those at Houston and Cal
weston were sandy and dead That
made a lot of difference in the fielding,
and especial credit is due the Washing
ton bunch for its performance under
the circumstances. The only breaks were
b. Goodwin, who made a poor throw
to first on a sacrifice, and a bum heave

Mr.. L. N. Bellinger, one of the
oldest surveyors in South Carolina,

of an over-grown tree mark which
was used for marking a line. While
down on the plantation of Mr.. O. B,

ing to reestablish the boundaries Of
Mr.. Kinard's plantation and his
measurement pointed to a tree, a
huge sweet gum, as one of the marks.
The tree bore no outward signs of ev-
er having been marked in any way,
but at the word of Mr.. Bellinger an
axe was procured and the tree cut
into and about five inches from the
surface there was found a perfect
cross mark about two inches long.
From the growth Of the tree, as
shown by the wood, the mark was
made about 45 years ago. The land
mark is perfectly preserved and is an
interesting bit of wood. Mr.. Bellin:
ger has it in his possession and will
place it with his interesting collection
of such things.

Miss Towns love and faith were un-
shaken. Although only twenty, she
proved herself intrepid. She resented
any suggestion that all was not well.
She announced her departure for
Brooklyn, accompanied by her cousin,
Mrs. Allan Corless. They arrived In
Brooklyn late on Monday night and
Tuesday set forth on their search for
the stricken bridegroom to be: The
general secretary Of the Y. NJ. c. A
branches said:
The name may be fictitious. We
have no records among our employees
or members Of such man."
Each Of the several branches was
called up by telephone in order to con-
firm the general secretary's report
None apparently knew Clifford A.
Sampson. Messenger boys were sent
to every address of a Sampson in the
borough Of Brooklyn until the right
one was found.
Got "New Lease OF Life"
The only cleW to the manner III wuicu
Sampson gre >ted the appearance OF MS
loyal sweetheart Is furnished IN the
following eloquent dispatch sent from
Maiden:
"Obtaining a new lease Of life by
reason Of his intended's persuasive elo-
uuence and fully recognizing the try
ing position In which she had already
been placed and what she would have
undergone had the wedding been post
poned, as it was fully intended to be,

gather his latent physical forces to-
gether and make an effort to return to
Maiden and the home Of his bride to
be-"
Before the happy couple, after the
reunion in Brooklyn, took the "dler"
for Boston Miss Towns dispatched a
telegram telling of her success. The
500 invitations were sent out again
on the double quick. Sampson and
Miss Towns arrived in Boston at 1:3O
D. m. and took a car for Maplewood.
The wedding was celebrated, the
brides father tying the knot, at the
time originally planned. A reception
was held later in the parlors OF the
church and was attended by several
hundred guests.

Pink Franklin Captured.

Pink Franklin, the negro who shot
and killed Constable Henry Valentine
and wounded Mr.. w. N. Carter near
Cope last week, was caught at Den
mark last Thursday by Senator S. G..
Mayfeld. The negro said he was on
his way to Bamberg to give himself
up when taken in charge. Mr.. May.
field 'phoned Sheriff Dukes, of
Orangeburg, who came over and car
ried the prisoner to Columbia, where
he is now lodged in the penitentiary.
Several negroes connected with the
murder have been lodged in Jail at
Orangeburg.
The negro's story of the killing is
that Valentine came into his house
just before daylight and shot him,
the ball taking effect in his shoulder.
That he then shot both Valentine and
Carter. The people of the Cope sec
ton were much stirred up against E.
S. Spires, for whom the negro work
ed, and things were made very un-
pleasant for him. He denies that he
gave the negro pistol and told him
to shoot the white men if they came
for him, neither did he assist Frank
lin in making his escape.
Franklin's wife is said to have beat
Valentine after he was shot and lying
helpless in the house, and also attack
ed him with an axe. She was arrest
ed and carried to Jail.
w. N. Carter, who was wounded
during the shooting, is brother-in-
law of Mr.. Spires.

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING.
The Local Circle of Leasuers Pass Resolutions
Favorins Prohibition Movement.

The Local Circle of Leasuers Pass Resolutions
Favorins Prohibition Movement
The regular monthly business meet
ing of the Epworth League was held
Tuesday night at the Methodist
church. The reports of the several
officers showed that the league is in
good condition and is doing a good
work. The report of the fourth vice
president was especially interesting.
This work is in the mission depart
ment, and the work which is being
done by Miss Esma Delk as fourth
vice president is we'll worthy of COM
mendation; the mill chapel is being
run in part by the league, and sew
eral Of it's members are regular at
tendants there and help in the serv-
ices.
The league passed resolutions ex-
pressing the sentiment of the body
as being heartily in favor of the
movement for prohibition, and ex-
pressing the hope and belief that it
will be a successful agitation. The
very strong sermon of Rev. Peter
Stokes Sunday week ago on. this
line was commended. An article in
the Southern Christian Advocate,
showing that prohibition has helped
Spartanburg in every particular,
was read by the president.
The Epworth League is having in
teresting meetings every Tuesday
evening, and a large crowd of young
people and some of the older ones
are present to takepart in them each
time.

Speculation as to the cause centered
around Miss Towns fiance. He had
been introduced to Maiden as Clifford
A. Sampson Of Brooklyn. He had told
their friends that he was physical in
structor in the Brooklyn Young Mems

met him in New York two years ago,
and later he was a frequent visitor at
her home. The engagement of the
young couple was announced in Feb

over their daughters choice.

provement in the moral atmosphere
of the city since the dispensaries were
voted out.
The State board of canvassers de-
cided that the dispensary election in
Kershaw county was illegal because
two ballot boxes were used, thereby
destroying the secrecy of the ballot.
It was never the intention Of the law
that two boxes should be used in vot-
ing for or against the sale of liquor.
The other box provided for is for
casting ballots as to distribution of
the profits. This matter being al
ready settled for Bamberg county,
only one box will be used in the ap-
preaching election.
Mr.. Samuel Dibble, in replying to
a statement of the Branchville news
paper, says that Branchville county,
if formed, will be the poorest county
in the State, as it will have only
S1,750,O00 of taxable property, and
that the taxes in the county would
be very high. Six mills levy on this
amount of taxable property would
only raise S10,500, and this would be
very high county levy. Three
mills, which is the levy Of Bamberg
county, would only raise $3.50,
which would not go very far toward
paying expenses.
