In Memoriam.

These few lines are inscribed TO tne
memory Of Arthur Chester Ward, Jr.'
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Ward. He
was born September 9, 1910, and died
September 16, 1910. The little body
was laid to rest in West End cemetery
Saturday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, the
Rev. J. R. Greene conducting the fun
eral.
Darling Arthur, he has left us,
Left US yes forever more,
But We hope to meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore.
The little crib is empty now,
The little clothes are all laid by,
A mothers hope, fathers JOY,
In deaths cold arm doth lie.
Go, little pilgrim, to thy home,
On yonder blissful shore;
We miss thee here, but soon will come,
Where thou hast gone before,
Another little lamb is gone,
To dwell with Him who gave;
Another little darling babe,
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child,
Amidst his shining band;
And so he bent with loving smile,
And c1asped our darling Arthur's
hand.

Laurens. In the Laurens courts the
State was represented by Solicitor 4.
A. Cooper and Messrs. Ferguson &

At Greenwood the State had the as

Greenwood bar. Since the case has
been in the United States supreme
court the attorneys for the defence

The press dispatch from Washing

IRE HICH-pRlCEDi YOUTHS
WORTH PURCHASE PRICE!

Not since the big four--Richard-
son. Brouthers, Rowe and White
were purchased from the Buffalo club
bv Detroit i'm 1856 for $4,000 has
there been such a sensation as that
caused by the recent purchase of
Lefty" Russell for $4,000 by Con-
ME Mack from the Baltimore club.
II sure sounded like the fall of Baby
Ion when it was announced that Con-
ME had bought a pitcher for that
price who has never been in the
big league. 1t has also been some
time since story of this kind was
printed on the front pages of the
newspapers.
In 1873. when Mike Kelly was pur-
chased by the Boston club from Chi
cago for $4,000 and then when Clark
son was purchased year later for
the same amount the baseball fans of
New England just went dippy. Presi-
dent Soden. of the Boston club thought
so much of the deal that the cam
celled checks were framed and hung
over the desk in his office.
Ten thousand dollars for single
ball player was the high water mark
until the New York National league
club paid $1,000 for RUDE Marquard'
who was purchased from the Indian
apolis club. Do these big prices af-
feet the player who is purchased for
this amount as he goes i'm to pitch
his first game i'm fast company?
This is the question asked all over
the baseball circuit. The White Sox
turned over $500 for Blackburn.
and so far he has been a disap-
pointment. So far RUDE Marquard
has not been much for the Giants.
However. the managers of the high
priced players think they will be OF
good service to the club, despite the
high amount of money laid out for
these players. But what the fans
want to know is, was the talent
which cost 500 worth It?

base RUNNING
NOT LOST ART
IMPROVED DEFENSE METHODS
HAVE REDUCED OPPORTU-
NIFTY TO STEAL BASES
TO A MINIMUM.

Some OF the critics bemoan the de-
cadence of the noble art of base run
ming. ITS a lost art" they say and
then tell how some ancient pilfered
1874 bases i'm one season. He couldn't
do 1t now, If he were brought back
to life and endowed with 10 per cent
more speed than he held in "the good
old days"
There has been no decline of base
running" Men travel just as fast
afoot now as they ever did. Some go
faster. There were no fewer steps
from first to second base in 1916 than
there are in 1910. Neither did am
unkind Providence hook up some dill

I3escher and a few others are re-
markably fast of foot but they fail

Cobb because they play a more con-

The true reason for lack of base
stealing, as compared with less mod
ern times, is not i'm losing the art"
but in the development and perfection
of defensive play. No man is per-
united to wander off first base un-
challenged, while nine times out of
