At luncheon Nina and Eileen talked
garden talk-they both were quite mad
about their fruit trees and flower beds
Selwyn, Gerald and Boots discussed
stables, golf links and finally the new
business which Selwyn hoped to de
velop.
Afterward, when the children had
been excused and Drina had pulled
her chair close to Lansing's to listen
and after that, on the veranda, when
the men sat smoking and Drina was
talking French and Nina and Eileen
had gone or with baskets, trOwels and
pruning shears-Selwyn still continued
in conference with Boots and Gerald
and It was plain that his concise, mod.

complished in his experiments with
chaosite seriously impressed the other
men.
Boots frankly admitted it. Besides, y

SO seriously anu considered
her claim on Boots SO absolute that
neither that young man nor anybody
else dared make a jest of the affair
within her hearing.
Otherwise she was the same active,
sOciable, wholesome, intelligent child,
charmingly casual and inconsistent,
and the list of her youthful admirers
at dancing school and parties required
the alphabetical classification of Mr..
lansing.
But Boots was her own particular
possession. He was her chattel, her
thing, and he and other people knew
that it was no light affair to meddle
with the personal property of Drina
Gerard.
Eileen, one bare arm around her
brothers shoulders, strolled houseward
across the lawn, switching the shaven
sod with her tennis bat.
"What are you doing this afternoon!"
she said to Selwyn. "Gerald"-she
touched her brothers smooth cheek

are at present eleven well-developed

examinations have been continued and
private examinations will be arranged

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Will Hold Annual Meeting Tonight
Election of Officers Other Mat
ters of Importance.

The chamber Of commerce will meet
tonight. Tuesday, at eight o'clock in
the rooms Of the chamber of COM
merce.
The regular meeting was to have
been held about ten days ago but in
order to avoid a conflict with other
meetings it was postponed until last
Friday night. Instead of avoiding
any other conventions, however, it
seems that there were more meetings
scheduled for last Friday than any
other night in a long while, and,
therefore, there was only a small at
tendance at the meeting called for the
chamber of commerce.
This being the annual meeting and
the time for the election of officers it
is very much desired that every mem
ber of the body shall be present.
In addition to the election Of off,
GERS there are several matters pertain
ing to the community as well as to the
activity Of the chamber Of commerce
which need attention.
The prospect of securing the c., G..
& O. railroad via Newberry was talk
ed over in an informal way on Friday
evening by those members who were
present and it is desired to take up
that question among others at the
meeting tonight.
Every member of the body should
be present tonight and those who are
not members should become members
before tonight so that they may also
have part in the election Of officers,
and the other matters pertaining to
the welfare Of this community.
We need here more than anything
else concert of action on the part OF
the business men. The only way to
2ecure this is by uniting in an organ
ization similar to the chamber OF
commerce and then working for tine
advancement of the best interest Of
the city.

CABANISS THE STAR.
NeWberrian is Playing Fine Ball In
Virginia, as He Did While at
NeWberry College.

4 Charlottesville dispatch to the
Richmond TimeS-Dispatch gives an
account Of a base ball game between
the University Of Virginia and Will
liam and Mary, in which Harvey
Cabaniss, Of Newberry, who played
star ball on the Newberry college
team while he was at college, here,
was the star player for Virginia. The
dispatch is as follows:
Charlottesville, Va, March 25.-
On a muddy diamond, and with the
wind blowing a gale, Virginia, defeat
ed William and Mary college today Is
to 0. The cold kept down the attend
ance, less than 200 being present.
With the exception of the third i'll
ming, the contest was very clean
one. In that period the Williamsburg
PLAYERS went to pieces, Virginia scor-
ing ia total of eleven runs on three
hits With tile bases full, Allison al
lowed Cabaniss's s hot liner to get
away from him, two scoring on the
error. More errors followed, which
had a bad effect on the visiting twirl-
er, Lewis, who became unsteady and
liberal with his passes.
Whitmer was in the box for Vir-
ginia. and showed that he is a cold
weather pitcher. He allowed but
three hits, and did not issue a single
pass. With the wind at his back his
spitball proved very effective.
Cabaniss, the star batsman on last
years varsity team, who las been
kept out Of the game on account of a
sprained ankle, made his initial ap-
pearance at his old position in right
field. He got the only extra base hit
of the game and created much en-
thusiasm in the sixth inning by steal
ing home while the opposing twirle:
was winding up. He showed that he
has a strong arm by throwing John
son out at first in the fourth inning,
robbing the Williamsburg third base
man Of an apparently safe hit.
Captain Hoff, who led in the bat
ting, gave way in the sixth inning to
Pickford, the Washington boy: Pear
son again put up star game at back
stop. Blakney and Fitchett fielded
sharply despite the rough diamond
Dabney showed improvement in hi;
work at first base. Driver and Lewis
got the only clean hits made by tie
visitors.
