 The Hot Springs fans held their breath every time Big Liz" Taylor walked up with the stick. He's death on the hOrsehide. Frank Taylor, who played great ball on the recent trip and hit like pro- lfessional, was unable to appear in Sundays game at Hot Springs. He sprained his ankle recently and Deav- CT would not let him don uniform on that day.
 Denver let them all hit it Sunday He had world of confidence in his support What pitcher would not have confidence with such playing behind him? Beaver did not strike out man That alone is an evidence of some mighty fast fielding. Catcher Bob Puckett, who was re- gently sold by Denver to the Arcadia Florida, team, will leave this week flor that place and Catcher Berry will !take his place He will be accompa- nied by Raymond Taylor, the fast lit ltle shortstop who was recently re, Ileased here.
 Harry Berry, the man behind the bat" joined the locals at Hot Springs Sunday and will appear ill the games here this week. He says he has not Iplayed any ball this season, but is fast lrounding into form. He was formerly with the Pine Bluff and Baton Rouge iCotton States team
 IT would have done Ed Howell, w ID. Hearn, Chris Hanley, Drew White iW. T. Young and other loyal fans good to have seen that Sunday game. Oul boys played the game scientifically and lit was the concensus of opinion among the fans in the Valley of Vapors that Pine Bluff will give all of the teams a run for their money from now on.

FLEES FROM LION;
FINDS $4,000 IN ORE

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 19.-Jack
Thornton the prospector, who in es-
Gaping a mountain lion he had wound
ed, found $4,000 In an old cave near
Pioneer, ella county, supposed to be
the hiding place of the thieves who
in the early days robbed the Silver
King mine of thousands Of dollars
worth of it's richest output, George
Mcfarland, who gave the first news
of Thornton's rich find, is inclined to
believe that the wealth the old pros
pector stumbled across is none other
than small part of the wealth of
which the Silver King was robbed.

BUSINESS MUCH
IMPROVED HERE
SALES BY MERCHANTS ON SAT-
uRDAY WERE LARGELY MORE
THAN USUAL.

That business in Columbia is pick
ing up was demonstrated last Satur
day There was more business trans
acted Saturday than any Saturday
since the first of the year. All OF
| the business houses were kept busy
from the time they opened up until
late at night. This was not only in
some special lines but in all channels
OF trade.
Two of the leading dry goods stores,
McKennoE, Anderson & Foster and
the Maury Dry Goods Co., both of
which have on their annual July
clearance sales, announced that their
business is equally as good as the
first day of their sales. Mr.. Wooten
of the Maury Dry Goods Co., stated to
Herald reporter that it was the
first time in the history of their an
nual clearance sales that the Satur-
day business or any other day equaled
the sales of the first or opening day,
but that last Saturday equaled and if
anything surpassed the first day sales.
The Herald man in his rounds Sat
urday noticed that the trading was
unusually good and made it point to
call at nearly all of the business
houses up town, and while there was
not great rush, there was
steady flow of trade going on all the
time. This was so in the grocery
line. The wholesale people did
larger business than has been usually
done of Saturdays.
1t is conservatively estimated that
in all branches of trade, that there
was more than $4,000 transacted in
Columbia Saturday.
The farmers are prosperous and
when the farmer is prosperous the
the banker and the private
town citizen is prosperous.
There has never been a time that
there was not plenty of money in the
county but it was the lack of con-
idence that prevented the holders
rom letting loose. All of the banks
are in fine condition. The assets of
he three Columbia banks amount to
Il ,524 ,441.04 with combined deposits
If 1892, 1854. Aside from this there
ire in the county three other banks
Ill of which are in splendid shape,
md making money.

it may be said that they

They have rescued the fiddle and
made it violin for the choir. They
are now saying that fine horses shall !

But no Christian can promote a /
practice or maintain an institution
over which are written the words

lend himself to the abuse of what
God has created very good He will
not help those practices which only

passes away He is allied with the
eternal and the spiritual. He reaches
beyond these and seeks the things

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 1S.-Sworn
statements concerning a "Seeley din
ner' which is alleged to have been
given by a Pittsburg minister, have
been sent here by Frank Zotti, the
banker arrested in New York last
night following the closing his banks
in New York, Chicago and Pittsburg.
Zotti's attorneys here also claim to
have in their possession a mass of af-
fidavits and letters bearing out the
bankers statement that he is the
victim of conspiracy
Among the men whom Zotti sus-
poets of completely in the alleged con-
spiracy is the minister, whom he
charges with giving a dinner at which
a beautiful young woman did start
lingly sensational dance upon the BAN
quet table. A sworn statement that
this occurred is in the hands of Zottis
attorneys. The attorneys also de-
clares he has several papers of coun-

which announcement was falsely
made that Zotti banks were prepar-

tors were urged to withdraw their

SENSATIONAL, MILD
DESCRIPTIVE TERM
WHEN USED IN CONNECTION
WITH AMATEUR PERFORM
ANCE AT GEM THEATRE.

The event of the year in amuse
ment circles was the sensational open
ing at the Gem Theatre Thursday
night of a high-class vaudeville troupe
composed entirely of local talent
The house was simply packed and
practically every member of the au-
! dience was convulsed with apprecia.
tion and did not hesitate to show 1t.
From beginning to end of the pro-
gram every number was a gem and it
would be a most discriminating and
fearless critic indeed who could
| choose between the finished actors.
/ Slick Warfield in black face mon
ologue brought down the house and
incidentally brought down a head of
rather ancient and slightly unsound
cabbage. Slick returned the compli-
ment with all the vigor of his
strenuous manhood. Sticks jokes
were entirely new, none of them ever
having been heard before on this or
any other stage and he made a point
of allowing his hearers full time for
appreciation and called their atten-
ton to the humorous portions of his
witticisms.

soloists had Prof Kopp, Prof. Bell
stadt and Prof. Sousa skinned block

they have remained this long in anna
