Graded School Closing.

The closing exercises of the Bates
burg Graded School were held in the
opera house on Thursday and Friday
evenings, May 2sth and 2sth, and a
closely packed house witnessed every
part of the exercises.
The entire exercises on both eve
nings were excellent and were an
evidence of the work being done by
the teachers with the hearty cooper
alton of the pupils and patrons, and
that the entire staff Of teachers has
given competent satisfaction is shown
from the fact that each and everyone
of them were reelected. The follow
ing teachers compose the staff:
Mr.. H. A. Brunson, Superintendent;
Mr.. w. E. Black, Principal High
School; Misses Isabel Brooker, Cora
B. Rogers, Evelyn Cooner, Margaret
N. Clement and Annie Hall assist
ants. Miss Essie Efrd principal OF
music.
Since the High School has been
added, Batesburg has school of
which every one is proud and fits the
pupils for college and those who do
not intend entering colleges are pre-
pared to enter upon the various walks
of life well equipped and prepared to
surmount the various obstacles which
they may encounter. The only thing
lacking is insufficient quarters and it
is hoped that the proper authorities
will soon see their way clear to pro-
vide the community with such build
ing or buildings as is needed. G.

LOOKS LIKE A CLEAR

TayloI's Broken Rib Allowed

Came;

In everything that Marion in
dulges in the athletic line there seems
to be hoodoo following closely be-
hind. At Mansfield last night, Taylor,
the star rusher OF the locals. sus-
tanned a broken rib In a collision
with another player. and he will prob
ably be out OF the game the remaind-
er OF the season. After Taylor was
injured. the winning of the contest
was cinch for Ferd Drumm's team.
The lanky rush has played a
consistent game for the local team
and his brilliant playing has electri-
fed many audiences at the local
rink. Another player will be secured
at once tostake Taylor's place.

FEW CHANGES
IN THE RULES
Baseball will Remain Very
Much the Same.
OVERCOMING DELAYS
Will be One Objsct of the
Rules Committee.
Pitchers May not be Allowed to
Fool 90 Long In Taxing Polish
off Of New Balls.

The annual talk fest of the joint
rules committee of the two big
leagues is next in order. The men,
bers of the two committees this year
are mostly men who have played the
game. For that reason 1t Is not
thought that there will be much tam
pering with the rules that now gov
ern the game for the players them
selves, as rule, believe in letting
well enough alone. Those who do
like to introduce new ideas are the
theorists who have never played the
game at all.
In fact, II is believed that the most
important change that will be made
is that forbidding the pitchers from
sOiling the ball The reason for
knocking out this practice is not that
II might handicap the pitchers but
that the present way delays the
game about fifteen minutes, for It
takes the pitchers about that long
to rub the new balls In the grass and
dirt.
or course, the pitchers will find
some method of taking the gloss off
the new balls. Trust them to do
that. Probably, they will have a
pocket full of stuff, which will serve
the purpose just as well as the time
honored sod has done. Ralph Glaze
of the Bostons had pocket full of
rosin last year which he used when
working against "spit" ball pitch
|er and his scheme will probably
spread unless steps are taken by the
rule makers to prevent 1t.
Frank Chance of the Cubs, who is
on the rules committee, says that he
Is in favor of having the umpires
prepare the balls for play. That
proposition looks sensible. The pub
lie, however, does not care who does
It as long as the game is not delayed.
II looks as II there might be a
move to cut down the height OF the
pitching mounds, but 1t Is doubted
very much II anything will come OF
this. On the Cleveland diamond and

House breakers entered the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. M. Il. Drinker OF
Walnut street some time Friday
afternoon and ransacked the house
from cellar to garret. Mrs. Brinker
securely locked up the house at l
o'clock and went down town to do
some trading. Upon returning home
she found almost every door un-
locked and the contents OF bureau
drawers scattered about the floors.
1t was evident that the miscreants
had a set OF skeleton keys and
simply went as they pleased. They
had gained entrance through the
rear door of the kitchen.
Whether or not the burglars were
frightened away before completing
the job or that they did not lind
what they were looking for is not
known. At any rate Mrs. Brinker
has been unable to find a single
article missing. A number of pieces
of solid silverware lying in a
drawer which the burglars appar-
emily ransacked, were not stolen.
The police were notified but were
unable tc get any clue to the guilty
parties.
Chicken thieves visited the coops
at the home OF Frank Dreher, on
North Main street, sometime last
night, and made away with seven Of
his finest hens. The thieves pried
off paddock which secured the coop
and succeeded in bagging the fouls
and making their getaway unnot-
iced.
The theft was reported TO the po-
lice this morning and officer Bell
made an investigation. The officer
succeeded in tracking the thieves for
quite a distance in the snow. He
also came to definite conclusion as
to who the guilty parties were. Ar
rests will probably follow.

United States Treasurer Treat, in
his annual report, points out the
true cause of the large shortage in
the treasury. 1t is the increase in
expenditures. The receipts in the
fiscal year 1908, as he shows, were
in excess OF those of any previous
year except 1907. But the expendi-
lures We're swelled OUT of all rela-
ton to the needs of the public SER
vice. Thus it transpired that sur
plus of $S4,O00,000 in 1907 was
turned into a deficit of $4,000, 900
in 1908. In calling the attention of
congress and the country TO this
drain Treasurer Treat is doing his
duty as a vigilant public officer. The
Democrats, in the recent canvass,
called attention 10 this treasury
shortage, but they had a bad candi-
date and a bad cause. and the coun-
try refused to listen TO them. If the
deficit should continue until the con-
