This dispensary election matter
bids fair to get pretty badly tangled
up before the lawyers get through
with it.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-08-12

The act under which the dispen-
sary election is to be held is puz-
1ling to a great many people, and
It would seem from reading it that
no person has a right to keep a lit
tie whiskey in his home even.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-08-12

Womanhood is only safe morally
where manhood is sound morally. No
amount of fine theorizing, or the ap-
plication of regulative experiments,
can keep the sexes from rising or
falling together.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-08-12

It is said by good many people
here that whiskey is being sold in
Bamberg illegally. Those who know
who it is that is selling it should
swear out warrants and prosecute.

VIRGINIA HERE TOMORROW.
Georgetown Will Try to Even Mat
ters Up With Southerners.

The annual Washington game between
Georgetown and the University of Vir-
ginia base ball mines will take place at
4 o'clock tomorrow on the Hilltop field,
and, like all other affairs of an athletic
nature between these rival schools it will
probably draw one Of the largest crowds
of the year. Yesterday the Blue and
Gray contingent was defeated by the
Charlottesville aggregation by the close
score of to 6 in battle replete with
errors. With Walker in the box the
Virginians put up their strongest front,
and followers of the West End aggrega-
ton contend that tomorrow they will be
easy picking, since Georgetown will not
only have the advantage of playing on
it's own grounds, but will also present It's
regular lineup, with Cantwell III the box
and Duffy behind the bat. Neither Of
these two stars was abe to accompany
the nine to Charlottesville, and their
presence will no doubt make a vast
change in the relative strength of the two
teams.
Against Cantwell will be pitted Whit

Already this season his excellent work on
the rubber has brought many victories to
the Orange and Blue, and those who have
seen him In action say that he Will be
fitting opponent for the elongated leader
visiting bunch will line up the same as
they did yesterday.
Before the game, Mr.. P. I. Moran Will
present the gold medal for the first home
run of the season to Cy Mcdonald, the
big first baseman of Georgetown, who
won the prize by sending long drive
over the bank in the Cornell game at a
time when it was badly needed. The
swat ndt only brought nredal to him
self, but also victory TO his team, since
then on the wearers of the Blue and the
Gray worked like tiends. with the result
that when the doings were over the big
end of the score was opposite the George
town column. There is no doubt but that
the big fellow will be a little bit Mustered
when he finds himself publicly honored,
but as it will not be the first time that
he has been in such position no one
is expecting him to do anything out OF
the ordinary.
The line-ups of the two teams in their
batting orders follow:
Georgetown: Murphy, center field; Shat
Iy, right field; Simon left field; Mayock,
second base: Mcdonald, first base; Sit
terding third base; Callahan, shortstop;
Duffy. catcher; Cantwell, pitcher.
Virginio: Pickford, second base; Hon
