MILES B. M'SWEENEY.

The editor of The Herald and
News received kilograms on Wednes-
day morning, conveying the sad IN
telligence of the death Of his life
long friend, Ex-Governor NJ. B. Nc
Sweeney.
Gov. McSweeney had been IN bad
health for several months, and tor
Two months was in hospital IN Bal
timore, where he died.
We are writing this simple an
nouneement just before leaving to at
aend his funeral at his home in Hamp-
ION, S. c.
/ Gov. McSweeney was big hearted
and generous, friend to every
body, and everybody's friend.
he was a typical American, SELF
MADE man in every sense Of the word.
We knew him possibly better than
any other outside his own family. we
have seen him in all the relations OF
life and he was the same kind heart
ed gentleman at all times. True to
his friends, kind and lndulgent to
his family.
He was a self-made man, and true
and tried friend. In subsequent IS
sue we hope to say something more OF
his life and service, and to pay our
feeble tribute to his memory.
He was our friend for many years,
and for four years We lived with MS
family as a member of it, and TOR all
of them we feel the same as II they
were our own blood, and our deepest
sympathy goes ont to them in TINS
hour of their sad bereavement.

The Herald and News printed on
Tuesday the main facts Of the whip
ping Of negro in the community OF
Dyson, from which whipping he died.
We were in possession at the time,
of the names Of the parties, vino have
since been arrested. But at that
time no warrants had been issued
and our informer did not wish to
have his name used in connection with
it. so we did not print the names.
This is a very serious matter, and
should be investigated. The negro is
entitled at least to humane treatment.

HOWARD AND D0BBS
 VERY CONFIDENT

Chattanooga, August 14-(special.)-in interviews given out here tonight both Managers Howard of Savannah and Dobbs of Chattanooga expressed confidence In their teams in the fight for the south Atlantic league pennant.
 Manager Howard said: Although Au- gusta is leading the race. I cannot figure them in the show down. The race Is evi- dently between Chattanooga and Savan- nah and I believe we have a very strong chance Chattanooga plays in Savannah next week and we will certainly trim them them.
 Manager Dobbs said: Our boys have been in a slump for the last three days. If they had been going at their usual aait we would have won three straights from Savannah, and none of the games would have been close Savannah had all the luck. We will beat Augusta here next week, and take three straights rom Savannah when we reach that town. Ine Lookouts will win the second division with ease."

IT COSTS MONEY TO GET WINNING
 BASEBALL TEAM

St. Louis, August 1A-(Specia1. )-Few fsns, who sit on the bleachers and hurl a1atf.emas at the home manager because his team does not win realize what tl.at same manager is rp agaIns-. He Is far more anxious than they to have win ner, and works out of season as well as in to get together baseball club that will be pennant winner.
 He has baseball intelligence and ex- pends coin in liberal fashion. He knows exactly what he wants, goes after 1t, and fails.
 Money can do a variety of things in other lines of sport; 1t will buy automo- piles and build yachts which wlll set Eew worlds marks, but no amount of rjorcy will buy enough first-class ball players to transform a second division club into first place certainty.
 The late Frank De Haas Robison and his brother, Stanley, new presl 1eri of The St. Louis club, spent over $So0,09O In an at tempt to get a pennant winner The ns ar- est approach they made to ths accom- plishment of their desires was ia 1892, when the Cleveland club. of which they were the owners, won the "second half championship, only to be defeated by Boston for the years honors.
 Baseball is full of just such instances. A J. Reach, during the 20 years he was In charge of the Philadelphia National League team did not have peDnant winner, though he spent money freely, and had some of the very greatest of ball players on his payroll. Twice m that time the Philadelphia club finished sec ond, but it could never quite win
 John B. Day of New York presided over two pennant winners in lSSS ana 1SS9 but when his club was disrupted by the Brotherhood movement ne went broke trying to again build up his team. Henry J. Lucas, the millionaire brewer or St. Louis, spent large sums in attempting to build up his club, but was nnaiiy obliged to retire disappointed.
 Chris Von Der Ahe had four-time winner, thanks to the baseball general shin of his manager. Comiskey, In the old American association, but In the Na- tional league his club failed utterly ana he retired from baseball in 1Sss, prac- tically penniless, having expended all tho earnings of his winning clubs, and more too, attempting to repeat.
 Buying minor league stars IS easy, welding these same stars into winning major league combination Is exceeoingiy difficult. The best pitchers and hardest hitters in small league will 1al oown in a big league, on occasion, from pure stage fright. and at other times for diff ferent reasons. .
 Minor league players, like the sands or the ocean, are ever shifting. Rarely does a team present anything like the same line%up in successive seasons. Style is uninportant; the players are never to- gether long enough. to critically stuoy each other in the minors.

The game was played in very fast time. There was a large number of people out, and the knock of the knocker was not heard in the land. There was very lit- tie wrangling, and all in all the fans en- 1oyed themselves.
