Clinton, May 4.-The most dis
agreeable game Of baseball seen on
the local diamond in many years was
played between the Presbyterian col
lege of South Carolina team and the
Newberry college team yesterday af-
ternoon. For a great many years
there has been more or less unpleas-
ant feeling between these two teams
and several times quarrels and dis
putes have arisen over their games.
The last game the Presbyterfans play
ed in Newberry they felt that they
had been unfairly treated but took
their medicine like men. Yesterday
afternoon, Newbe1y came up to
play the third game of this season
with Clinton, bringing strong crowd
of "rooters. From the first it was
plain that trouble was brewing. New
berry kicked on several decisions Of
the umpire and apparently tried to
carry their point by bluffing. Mr.. E.
H. Hall, who umpired the game very
fairly and carefully, refused to ba
drawn into any controversy and in
every case where they pushed their
dissatisfaction to the point of protest
he cited the rule book to them. Mr..
Tench Boozer, the Newberry coach,
at one time so lost his temper as to
fling a rule book into the infeld dur
ing an inning. One Of the Clinton
men politely removed it. In fact,
after it became evident that the New
berry men were ratified and angry
the Clinton men steadied down and

NEWBERRY.. Y..CLINTON
GAME OF BASE BALL
MIS- STATEMENTS IN ARTICLE
FROM CLINTON.
A Reply by TWO Members Of New
berry College Faculty Telling
What Happened.

The game Of ball between New
berry college and the Presbyterian
College of South Carolina, at Clinton
on Monday afternoon, was unfortun-
ately-whatever the cause-charac-
terized by SONG personal alterations,
and it possibly would have been bet
ter had the affair not been aired in
detail in the press. An article in
the Laurens Advertiser. however, un-
der a Clinton date line of May 4, has
undertaken to give an account Of the
occurrence, and goes consi leiaoiy IN
to detail. This article is a defence
of the Clinton team, and is so patent
ly biased, and so plainly bears on its
face the ear-marks Of spite, that it
would not have been noticed, except
for some misstatements of fact which
through it have been given circulation
in a reputable newspaper.
Newberry college and the people Of
Newberry have only the kindest feel
ings for the Presbyterian college and
for the people of Clinton. When a
ball team composed Of gentlemen,
however, visits Clinton, the men,
bers of the team have the right to
expect courteous treatment, and
when they are insulted and abused,
and their persons menaced, in the
absence Of adequate police protection
for the enforcement Of order, there IS
nothing left except to exercise the
right and the privilege and duty Of
self-defence.
Two members Of the faculty of
Newberry college witnessed the game
on Monday afternoon, and The Her
and News publishes today, in con-
nection with the article from the
Laurens Advertiser, a reply from
these gentlemen. From it the cor
respondent of the Advertiser may
judge for himself whether or not the
faculty of Newberry college are "hu-
inflated and ashamed Of their teams
course" AS to the statement by Mr..
Spencer that "the Newbeary team
would not play again" on the Clinton
diamond, the faculty Of the Clinton
college certainly have the right to say
what games shall be played on their
diamond, and Newberry college will
not question their right in this mat
ter. Such a statement, however, is
purely gratuitous. The Newberry
college team has not made practice
of going where it was not assured Of
welcome. -.
Following is the article from the
Laurens Advertiser, and below it ap-
pears the reply from two members
of the faculty Of Newberry college,:

RECOLLECTIONS OF A FORMER
NEWBERRlAN.
Judge J. M. Crosson, Now of Texas
Writes of the Days of the
Long Ago.
Woodville, Tex, March, 1909.

U knew her for heavenly guide,
A I knew her even then,
Enough meekly as child she stood
Among the sons Of men
By her deep spirit Loneliness,
T knew her even then.
1And as leaned my weary head,
Upon her proffered breast,
And scanned the peril haunted Wild
From out my place of rest,
I wondered if the shining ones
Of Eden were more blessed.
For there was light upon my soul,
Light on my peaceful way:
And all around the blue above
The clustering starlight lay;
\ And easterly, [ saw upreared,
u The pearly gates of day.
So hand in hand, We trod the wild,
My angel love and I,
Her lifted wing all quiverlng
With tokens from the sky.
Strange, my dull thought could not
divine
Twas lifted but to fly.
AGAIN down life's dim labrynth,
I grope my way alone,
Whil. wildly Trough the midnight
sky,
Black hurrying clouds are blown,
And thickly in my tangled path,
The sharp, bare bhorns are soWn.
Yet firm my foot, for we'll [ know,
The goal cannot be far,
And even, through the rifted clouds,
: Shines out one steady star
For when my guide went up, she left,
The pearly gates ajar.
I always took pleasure in the So
ciety of old ladies. On reading the
foregoing verses of Mrs. Judson, the
herein mentioned old ladies appear
ed vividly before me. In the long,
long ago, they had been a benediction
to Newberry; they were the Oldest
ladies in the village; they have long
since ascended to the land of life and
light; their peace is sealed; their
rest is sure. They have gone to the
bright land, where one by one, those
they loved or those who loved them
shall meet each other. They had the
charm of the mellow years Of well
spent life-the wisdom, sweetness and
grace of lovely old ladies with the
flavor and ripeness Of all good
Christian qualities.
These old ladies were: Mrs. Annie
O'Neall, Quakeress; Mrs. Elizabeth
Gillian, Presbyterian; my gradmother,
Mrs. Spence, A. R. Presbyterian; Mrs.
Katie Schoppert and Aunt Party

How Women Would Vote.

If women had the ballot would they
vote more for men than measure ?
The question is suggested by the re-
marks of Spokane woman in speak
ing of the last presidential election.
She said: Poor Mr.. Bryan! If 1 en-
1oyed the privilege of voting, I should
have voted for him, because 1 think
he deserves to go to the White House
after trying so hard!'
The idea that personalities would
weigh more with women at the polls
than politics has apparently been
growing upon students of the suf-
frage question. for 1t has received
mention of late in several quarters
Edward Box, whose unique expe-
rience as editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal and earnest effort to get the
true bearings of women's suffrage
give him every right to speak on the
subject, says it is being shown every
day that where women are employed
in business they do not seem able TO
sink the personal equation. 1t is their
nature, and there Is nothing evil
about it, but it would lead to a per-
sonal element in politics that would
be unfortunate.
Mr.. Box says that women have
confessed to him time and again that
We're they asked to vote they would
invariably, because instinctively, lose
sight of measures and vote for men

Seattle Young Man Shows "Yellow"
Streak-Flies for Home on Wedding
Eve-Girl Not Sorry

TACOMA, May 4.-Leaving his
fiancee seated in a box of the Donnel-
ly restaurant with a young woman
who was to act as bridesmaid and
youth intended filing the place of best
man, Harry Warren, a Seattle youth
20 years of age, started for a marriage
license about 7 o'clock Saturday night.
About 10 o'clock, when Warren had
not reappeared, it suddenly dawned
upon the minds of the bride-about-to-
be and her friends that the groom had
either met with an accident or had
played practical joke.
Investigation developed the fact
| that Warren, whistling the familiar
air, mo Wedding Bells for Me-" had
boarded an interurban car and return
ed to Seattle.
Grace Davis, the young woman who
was to have been married, is a pretty
! brunette about 10 years old, and to-
gether with her friend, Margaret
Moore. is employed in a millinery store
in Seattle. Frank Erickson, the dis
appointed best man." who paid for
the walters check at the Donnelly, is
musician in a Seattle orchestra.
II knew Warren about two years
ago, when we were good friends"
said Miss Davis to a News man when
she learned she had been deserted at
the altar. I'VE met again last week
for the first time in two years. after
we had gone together couple of
times Harry proposed that we come to
Tacoma and get married. The idea
sounded pretty good to me and so I
came.
After sitting here three hours watt
ing for him to come back I find out
that 1 have been 'stung.' Harry evil
IDENTIFY got cold feet and was afraid
to face the music. If he gets ratified
that easy, I'm glad he put me next to
the game before we were properly
hitched. Yes, it's a good one on me.

one in Seattle knows about it. Next
time send a man for a marriage IL
cense I'll not lose sight of him till he's
