Now. if the umpire happens to be staying at
some hotel other than the players, it is possible
that he won't see the players until the next

however, he was stopping at the same hotel. the
two might bump into each other that evening.
Both men would still possibly be more or less
sore over the episode. and an argument would
surely result. The outcome of the argument
could only work injury to both men, That is,
perhaps, the best reason why the umpire doesn't
continually minge with the players. Another
is the fact that too close relationship would
possibly lessen the dignity that every arbitrator
must possess to be successful.

Confessions of an Umpire
Continued from page 4

Hurst and / were seated in the lobby of a
Detroit hotel one evening last summer. when
a well dressed, fine appearing young chap of
twenty-one approached US.
Are you MIR. Hurst" said the young man.
Some people SO consent to address me- re-
piled Tim.
81 desire to become big league umpire,
said the youth in rather a bashful manner
Foolish young man" answered the veteran,
a broad smile playing over his countenance
Yes, want to work my way up to the big
league, continued the youth, whose confidence
began to return. I've umpired in our town
for two years, without having kick registered
against single decision. Folks say I'm better
than some umpires who are getting big
salary stars.
Perhaps you are really better" replied
Hurst, now thoroughly amused the only diff
ference is they are getting the money and YOU
are not. | really would advise YOU to stay
where you are; you may not last two innings
in the big league without getting killed or
MANNED for life"
What is the best way to succeed as umpire,
Mr.. Hurst?'
"Candidly, my young man." said Tim, " the
best way to succeed is to retire and get into
some other business"
" | am really undecided about accepting the
minor league berth that has been offered me,
went on the youngSter who refused to be dis
couraged by Tins line of gloomy talk. q

make hundred and fifty dollars month
You tell me that you can make hundred
and fifty dollars a month with your father
your boss. and still you seek berth
pre-" fairly gasped the much surprised Hurst.
Young fellow, if ever hear of you going to
any minor league. shall insist that your sanity
be investigated. You are sure to get your
money the first of every month when working
for Father while you are likely to get mostly
anything else in the minor leagues.
None too enthused over the prospects, the
former ambitious young umpire thanked Tim
for his advice and departed.
| inquired about the young fellow during my
last visit to Detroit. and learned that he was
still working for Father. Hurst's talk evil
IDENTIFY discouraged him. He has changed his
mind, no doubt, about the joys of living at
swell hotels that are not swell and the rare
pleasure Of riding in sleeping cars that are too
small for comfort, and working double headers
on days the thermometer registers Ill or

Old Negro Found Dead.

An old negro named Sidney Nc
Cutcheon was found dead in his bed
In one Of the Epperson housts on
Sumter street this morning about 8

when she went to make up his fire
for him and to see If he was in need
of any attention.
McCutcheon who was a very old ne

he was taken with some kind of all

death was said to be due to old age.
Lou Murray and Anarchy Davis.

The children enjoy the sport and
no doubt II is excellent exercise for

made by the skates on the nava-
ment and their youthful voices
disturb some OF the officials
Of the county as they are at
work in their Offices in the cour+

all OF them. The noise is pretty bad
put 1t is probable that is not the
worst part Of their skating, for the
hard wheels Of the skates cut into
the concrete and is gradually wearing

so FAR is not great, for the children
nave not been skating on the pave

1t continues long enough it is pro-
oable that the damage will amount
to considerable after awhile.
or course, the children mean no
harm by what they are doing. and il
is probable that none of them would
be willing to do the damage if they
knew about it at the time, but still
that does not prevent the damage
from being done. 1t is probable that
the County Supervisor will put a stop

"hiohEh DEPOT ESTABLISHED
Office for the Handling of Christmas
Whiskey on East Liberty Street
Large Number of Whiskey Pack
ages Pass Through the Express Of
flee Each Day.

The Southern Express office has
rented an additional office for the
better handling Of its whiskey traffic
Tor the Christmas season. the new
booze" depot being installed on East
Liberty street
MI. j. J.Avant in speaking of the
establishment Of the new Office for
the use of those who receive whisI1ey
during the Christmas season, said that
MS idea in putting in the new whis-
Key office was that the trade would
be somewhat congested anyway dur
ring the holiday season and the en-
ployees of the office would have their
hands full handling the additional
traffic without the still greater task
AMI heavier work of handling the
whiskey packages at the same time.
SO in order that the whiskey packages
might not get mixed with the gener-
al trade packages, for the office nev-
er delivers any of the whiskey pack
ages. and to make the handling of the
whole easier and to prevent congest-
ion, he had taken this way of set
ting the matter, which at other places
had proved a practical solution of the
proposition.
Another and still more importa.
reason for separating the two kinds
OF express packages is that most Of
the whiskey packages are for ne
groes and as ladies refuse to come in
to the express Office as long as il is
full of negroes who are there for their
whiskey, he thinks that this is another
reason for separating the two Offices
when they are both doing so large q
business.
The express office has been hand
ling anywhere from twenty-five to
seNenty-ftve packages of whiskey
every day for some months past and
during the last week in October an
average Of over so packages were
handled every day. The volume of
Whiskey trade has fallen off con-
Siierahle during the past few months.
but the trade in still large and is ex-
rccted TO be larger during the next
few weeks. The packages are almost
entirely for negroes and vary from
two quarts to four and one-haIf gall
Ion packages.
An extra man has been put on TO
handle the whiskcy packages and he
Will probably have his hands fun un-

Port ROYAL KEEPS STATION
Senator Tiilman Again Does Some
Effective Work.

Effective Work.
Washington, Dec. 8.-Senator Till
man today took a hand in stopping
abandonment of the Port Royal naval
station, at the request of Mayor Dan
ner. Niels Christensen, and other cit
izens Of Beaufort, who came to Wash
ington to see him about the matter.
and as result Of the Senator's eff
forts 1t may be stated on the best of
authority that the station will remain
In the present status. The officers,
who were ordered away a short time
ago, will be ordered back and every
thing will go on just as the station
has recently been conducted.
The fact that Senator Tillman has
been able to secure the return of the
officers means that the Marine School
will continue at Port Royal and a
great deal for all the country CONT
guous to Beaufort. Senator Tillman
has been member of the Senate
naval affairs committee for a num-
Der of years and more than once his
efforts have saved the day. II Is
understood that formal orders send
ing the officers back to Port Royal
Will be issued Immediately.
