The Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally car
ried forty-four guns. 4 particular
ly interesting history is connected
with this ship. During the war
with the Barbary powers in 1903
she was Commodore Preblc's flag
ship in the Mediterranean and
played a conspicuous part during
the whole var. Lieutenant Wads-
worth, who was blown up before
Tripoli in the i'll fatcd lntrepid.
was one of the officers Of the Con-
stitution. In the course Of the war
with England in 1912 the English
papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke of her as "a bundle OF
pine boards sailing under a bit Of
striped bunting" But when under
Captain Hull she captured the
English frigate Guerriere, a vessel
of nearly equal force, the people
who had before ridiculed her called
her zone Of the stanchest vessels
ailoat." A few months after this
victory the Constitution, then com
manded by Captain Bainbridge,
compelled one Of the finest frigates
in the British navy, the Java, to
strike its colors.

Franklin county is in the lime
digit again. Some unknown per
ton attempted to assassinate Ernest
Newman, recently elected to sue
coed his father as chancery clerk, on
Sunday night, and in consequence
there is excitement there again
unless this devilment stops all the
good people of the county, those
who love peace and order, will be
justified in selling out, moving
away and leaving the lawless in
complete control. No section has
suffered as has Franklin county,
and it will not recover for years,
even if the shooters were to put up
their guns and resolve to behave
themselves in future. - Clarion

One of the most interesting and
he meat successful seasons of base
ball that has ever been enjoyed by
he lovers of that popular sport in
has just been brought
10 a fitting close.
Under proper management. di-
rected with the proper interest to
have only the best of material avail
able for a winning aggregation,
Greenwood's all-star Independent
team of ball tossers are now enjoy
ing the distinguished honor OF being
the strongest of it's kind in the
South, proud Of her 800 percentage.
Not only are the members of our
team artists in the game, but there
is not one among their ranks that is
not a perfect gentleman and worthy
of entertainment in any of our hos
pitable homes. Their conduct has
been that which has brought forth
not only the commentator Of our
own people, but the general
consensus of opinion that in every
city where they have played a series,
the people of those cities have ex.
pressed themselves willingly and Of
their own accord that We have easily
the most gentlemanly set of ball
tossers of any club in the Bush
League.
As a pastime to the lovers of this
sport, our boys have served their
patrons and constituency the real
article of base ball. No rowdyism
or underhanded work has character
lied their work, but they put theil
whole heart and soul into every
game with the sole common idea oi
giving to Greenwood the class o1
base ball she so well deserves.
On the streets, in our homes, Al
our amusements, everywhere their
conduct has evidenced their apprec.
iation of the excellent support given
by this city.
This pastime is the most whole
some in which one can indulge, and
one that serves as IN enjoyable in.
strumentality of pleasantly Willing
away warm summer afternoons. Ou1
ball park this season has been a
place of amusement where ladies
were taken without fear of being
subjected to the unpleasantness OF
witnessing a game stained by row
dyism. And as such an amusement
it should be encouraged and each
season kept apace with the excellent
standard set this season. And it is
is the earnest hope of every loyal
fan that the entire club, if possible
be retained for next season.
Financially, the association has
been a success. The officers of the
club were carefully selected from
the prominent business men of the
city; and the business-like manner
in which they have dispatched their
business explains the success of the
club. Their connections with the
team have been the most pleasant
relations which are themselves in.
dicat;ve of success. All accounts
made and expenses incurred by the
club have been settled in full, il
being the first time in the base bal
history that our club has not become
insolvent. Liberal donations made
up for whatever deficiency there was
from gate receipts.
We take off our hats to the mem.
bers of the team and the officers OF
club. They have more than done
their duty. We understand thai
two or three of the team will winter
with US, which is pleasant news.
1t has been a pleasure for The Com.
monwealth to devote columns in sup
port of Greenwood's All-Star indie
pendent Aggregation of Base Ball
Champions.
