PLAYED A GOOD BALL GAME.
Richfield Lost to Haley and Again at
Shoshone.

The ball game between the Rich
field team and the HALEY team on the
HALEY diamond last Sunday, result
ed in the defeat of the Richfeld team
by a score of to in favor of Hal
ley.
Notwithstanding the defeat of the
Richfield team the game was good
one and greatly enjoyed, during some
part of the game, by a large crowd.
The first five innings was pleas
ure to the large crowd of Richfield
and Bellevue rooters because the
Richfeid team was in the lead, but
the latter part of the game was a
drag as far as Richfield and Bellevue
were concerned, but the HALEY bunch
became greatly interested at that
stage of the game and enthusiasm
ran high from Haley standpoint
because the HALEY team got in the
lead and held it for the rest of the
seven inning game. However, if the
game could have lasted two more in
nings, we believe that we would have
been able to tell a different story in
regards to the game.
The game was lost through a lot
of errors during the fifth inning,
and no one in particular was to blame
as nearly every player belonging to
the Richfield team contributed one
Or more errors during that inning.
No one seems to know exactly how it
happened, but the entire team from
some cause or other went to pieces
and could neither catch, stop or hold
a ball in that inning.
Oderkirk was the star of the Rich
field team, he having made two out
of the three runs that were credited
to Richfeld.
The battery, consisting of Knox as
pitcher and Robinson as catcher did
good work and when one was there
to see the curves that Knox sent over
the plate, he could realize what he
might do with a little more practice,
as he had only practiced with the
team about fifteen minutes, all told.
Robinson behind the bat is on the
spot all the time and they do not get
them so swift but that he tops them.
The treatment received from the
Haley crowd by the visitors could not
have been better, there was no quar-
'eling or dissatisfaction during the
game and the expense money was
urned over without word. There
vas great deal of good humored
)antering by rooters on both sides
'ut everything was taken on each
ide in good humor. {
But the HALEY crowd just as we'll
understand now, that the next time {
comes up there to play ball, ]
Haley is going to come out second
est.
The Richfield team did not stop at t
ome Sunday evening, but went on to '
hoshone, where they played mixed
cam of Shoshone and Boise players E
londay forenoon, the score being 7 7
0 1 in favor of Shoshone, but we
ont care-we beat Bellevue any
ray, and can do it again and with a
ew more lessons can beat either q
Iailey or Shoshone.

In Memory of Thomas w Carwile

A meeting of the vestry Of Trini-
ty parish, Edgefeld, SC, was call
ed on January 9TH: 1909 to take &C
tion on the removal by death of our
much beloved brother and junior
warden, Thomas w. Carwile, whose
demise has touched the-hearts of so
many with genuine sorrow, and all
who knew him with the profound
est sympathy.
AS Junior warden of this parish,
the vestry earnestly desires that it
be put on record the deep sense of
the greatlos it has sustained by the
death Of him who was SO generally.
;beloYedxand had endeared himself
Ial an voted efieer
Of the church. I'm all things apperS
tanning to the development :of this
parish it may be, ,trulysaid: He was
faithful; eyerready and prompt to
discharge every duty and trust i'm
posed upon him; and nobly'- -demon-
stated by his walk and conversation
that it was not with eye-sevice as.
mne-pleaser; but as the servant of
Christ doing the will of God from
the heart. "
His example is worthy of imita-
ton; every service of the Church
found him in his place as an earnest
and devoted. worshipper, imbued
with the purity of her service, the
preciousness of her communion, the
holiness of her worship; and the
power of her faith.
And now, while with the sincerest
sorrow. we lament his death and the
vacancy in our vestry, and the loss
to this parish, which cannot be es-
timated, we cherish the memory of
his noble character and services,
and bless God for the wit
nessof his life to the practical in
huence and power of her holy reli-
gion. And, with the consoling
vows of the church, whichehe loved,
we commit his body to the ground,
while his spirit returns to-him who
gave it, to enter on that glorious re-
ward of a good and faithful servant:
Therefore belt
Resolved, That. the above record
be duly entered. upon our hook of
minutes, and a copy Of the same be
forwarded to the bereaved family,
and also to the county papers, to the
Diocese, Colurnbia, IS. c., and the
Southern Churchman, Richmond, !,

Judge Taf t and the South.

The following from the pen of
DIR. d. A. J.Bell is copied from the
Augusta Herald:
Permit word from private citi-
re. neighbor, though in Carolina,
endorsing the note of w. II. Flem-
ing to Senator Bacon published in
The Herald Yesterday. 1t makes
me sick and tired to hear fawning
sycophants, representing the press,
the politician, and the private citizen
half way apologizing for voting the
democratic ticket, because forsooth,
that Judge Taft, great and good
man that he is, is in the South. In
fact 1 think it an insult to our intel
ligence to be told that we of the
South are moss backed, fossilized,
voting, not according to our convic-
tions, but following vague tradi-
tion, and that tradition founded on
prejudice against the great republi-
can party because the republican
freed our negroes.
OF course those who are respon-
sible for trying to break up the
solid South haven't said exactly this
that we are fools-but I1submit
that the above is a fair inference
from what they have said, even
Judge Taft himself, if he has been
correctly quoted.
1 have great respect for Judge
Taft on account of his fine charac-
ter and abilities, but | don't SEQ any
good reason for the good people in
the South going crazy about him.
l know it must be sickening and re-
pulsive to a man of so fine a discrim
nation as Judge Taft.
As for me, | believe Judge Taft
has thousand times more respect
for Senator Bacon and Mr.. Fleming
than for those milk and water apollo
gists for the democratic party and
its principles. I know the demo-
cratic party is not infallible, but
have no apology to- offer for be-
ing a democrat, becauseI think that
the party has stood and still stands
for purity in the, administration of
public affairs.
