Duke Denies It.

Anderson, Nov. Isl. b. Duke, W. S.
Lee, w. J. Thackston and Mr.. Taylor Of
the Greenville, ~Spartanburg and Anderson
railway arrived in Anderson at II o'clock
this morning or q special ~lnterurban car.
On their arrival they embarked in automo-
biles with friends or Portman Shoals on
the Seneca, river 10 miles west Of Anderson.
After spending an hour inspecting the
plant they returned to Anderson for din
ner and will remain here until tomorrow
morning.
The members of the party refused to
make public anything connected with their
visit. It is surmised here that these gen
tlemen have in view the purchase OF the
Portman plant, which cost practically a
half million dollars and which is owned by
the local lieht company. This plant gener-
ates $500 horse power and it Is presumed
that in case Of its purchase by these pro-
motors that it's line would be connected
with the lines of the Southern Power Com
pany now being constructed from the
plant on the Broad river at Ninety Nine
Islands to Bolton, via WinnsBoro, New
berry and Greenwood, and that the pow
err will be used to ope6ate the cars on the
lines to be constructed over the Piedmont
sections of the Carolinas.
These gentlemen also refused to make
public when construction Of the trolley
line from Bolton to Greenyille will be COM
menced. 1t is rumored however, that the
management is figuring with the Seaboard
Air Line for a contract as a feeder at
Greenwood, and this work Is probably be-
ing held up until the two roads sign the
contract, about which it is understood they
are nearly agreed.
NOTHING TO IT..
~Spartanburg, November 14.-J. B. Duke
the North Carolina millionaire. accompa-
MED by w, S. Lee, Of the Southern Power
Company and M. Taylor Of the Greenville
~Spartanburg, and Anderson Railway,
arrived in this city this morning on a
special car from Greenville. The party
dined with August w. Smith at his. home
on East Main Street.
When seen Mr.. Duke said that he was
in this city for the simple purpose OF look
ing around, and there was no particular
object to his uisit in ~Spartanburg, and the
other South Carolina cities, where he has
recently spent a few days. He took occa-
sion to say that the story sent out from
Anderson to the effect that the Greenville
Spartanburg and Anderson Railway had
bought Portman Shoals on the Seneca
River, was absolutely without foundation
and that the company, which is heavily
backed by his money, did not dream of
buying ithis property, Nothing to it,"
said Mr.. Duke.

cast all over the county. OF these Blease

date got /. The other state officers ran
with total vote cast, though some had one
or two scratches.
On the %amendents the vote was pitifully
small. Many people refused to vote on
on them saying they did not understand
the amendments at all and let them alone
The entire vote Of the Greenwood box on
the amendments was thrown out because
of gross irregularities. The report was
not filled out, no names were signed to it
so it could not be counted. Reports from
all over the state indicate that the vote
was very light although all the amend
ments, it appears, were carried.

NBEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Abbeville People Should Learn to De-
tect the Approach of Kidney Disease

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
90 unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scaldlng.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the VIC
tim is often weighed down by a feeling
of languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You a use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Able
vile proof:
I. S. Gilbert, Abbeville, s. c.,
says For six years l suffered
from kidney complaint, the princi.
pal symptom being a constant,
dull pain in the small of my back. I,
l became tired easily, felt laDguid
and was also subject to headaches
and a blurring of my sight. The
secretions from my kidneys were
too frequent in passage and | was
forced to arise during the night on
this account. Learning of Doan's
Kidney Pills, l procured a supply
at P. B. Speeds drug store, and be-
gan their use. They relieved me

an indolent life or a life that has not

Negro Has Many Advantages.
He argues that although there is lit
tie difference between the ages of
the men, the colored man has the adj
vantage and what is more in his favor,
the past six years, while Jeffries has
done nothing in the pugilistic line in
the same period. Il should not be at all
surprised,' said Muldoon, ito see the
outcome of the fight very similar to
that which occriRred in New Orleans
when Corbett wearied Sullivan into
defeat by his youth and staying abili-
ty. When a man gets on in years he
wears down in any contest, especially
SO when they have been out of the
game for some time. 1t is a hundred to
one that Jeffries will never be able to
punch the bag as long and as hard as
he could six years ago, and that is the
best indication that he is not as good
as he was. I look for Johnson to win,
but there is one thing he will have to
be mindful of, and that is that in the
early stages Of the game he must not
let Jeffries get 'one in on N'm' or there
will be some counting, and if he should
happen to get two jolts close together
there will be chance of a Johnson

Whitman Wins
From Y. M. E. A.

BY the score of 80 to Is, the Whit
man varsity basketball team defeated
the Y. NJ. c. A. aggregation in an ex-
citing game played in the Whitman
college gymnasium last night. The
contest was the first ever played in
Walla Walla under collegiate rules,
and at no time after the first few min
utes of play was the result in doubt.
A large and enthusiastic audience wit
messed the game. and the star plays
were heartily applauded.
For Whitman "Alf' Belt, captain
and guard, was easily the fastest play
err on the field. Although Belt only
scored four field baskets, his greatest
worth to the team was in securing
the ball from his guard position, TAX
ing it down the field with terrific
speed on the dribble and then passing
to Cox or Mccoy, who landed the bas-
kets Time after time the Y. M. c.
A. men, almost in desperation, did
ed past their Instructions with ease
and left a veritable trail of smoke
behind him as he travelled with Won
derful cleverness over the field, dodg
ing his opponents. out speeding them
on the floor, and getting the ball to
one Of the Whitman forwards who
took tries at field goals and made them
score.
The Y. M. c. A. team opened strong.
In the first half Unser, forward, for
the "Y," threw three baskets, scoring
six points for his team. Ring from
guard position got a clear basket and
this ended the field goals for the Y.
! M. c. A. in the first half. Snyder.
forward, played his usual strong
game.
His quick, powerful jumps, his ac-
curate foot work and his dangerous
one arm throws were always sources
of danger to the varsity. The hall
ended with a score of IA to in favor
of the colegians.
! In the last half the Y. M. C. A.
team scored six points while the
varsity ran up rs points.

you call that? What sort of a game is
this anyhow? / demand a home run on

"By this time the Pretzel, all warmed
up with the consciousness that he had

plate. 'Misder Lynch said he, 'vyfore

goal should be Widened and set up
higher and that the ball might be toss

Bill MuldOOn"
FaVOrS johnson

Although rather early to begin to
talk about the result of the fight that
is scheduled to take place on the
Fourth of July between Jeffries and
Johnson, the subject crops up in pugil-
istic circles every hour or So. Bill
Muldoon, who probably knows as much
man this side of Egypt, was very
talkative on the merits of the princi-
pals a day or so ago.
He has fitted many a good man in
his day for the ring and had much to
40 with the last bare-knuckle fight
between Sullivan and Kilrain at Rich
burg, Miss, nearly nineteen years ago.
This was the last bare-knuc.>le fight,
London prize ring rules in this coun-
try.
In speaking of Jeffries and Johnson
Muldoon leans slightly in favor of
Johnson, not that he would not like
to see Jeffries win but when he ex-
presses himself neither creed nor color
enters the argument-it is question
of man and man, physique against
physique, ability against ability. His
first opposition to Jeffries is the fact
that he has been out of training for a
number of years, and as he puts it:
"An athlete cannot absent himself
from the ring for so long period and
then come back as good as he was
when he left it especially if he has led

sons pitchers had fallen by the way
side, and everybody was still batting.
"Chas. Getzein-'the Pretzey'-went
in for Detroit. He stopped the hitting
for a moment. When Detroit took the
war club it was Getz's turn to bat,
and the Pretzel drove a noble swat
far down deep left field. BY great
springtin and throwing they stopped
Getz at third. There he stuck, delight
ed beyond measure at his own swat
and grinning like a Cheshire cat.
LAS the pitcher wound up, Getzein,
still craving and whooping, jumped
up and down and ran off the base.
Zing!-the ball was in Tom Burns
iron grip, and in Getzeins ribs. The
Pretzel was out-caught off third at
most critical point of the game.
How the Detroits raved and
screamed They surrounded Getzein
with cries Of frenzy, addressing him
| by 81 different terms, all highly un-
complimentary. After they had ex-
| hausted their vocabulary they chased
Getzein out OF the game, threatening
to kill him if he didn't remove his per-
sonality from the field. Getzein, deer-
| ly grieved, slowly departed. and an
other pitcher took the job.
| ''Getzein, mourning and blue
through center field and happened te
see the bus which had brought the
players to the park-a ramshackle old
conveyance-moored near the club
house in deep center. The Pretzel sat
down on the steps of the bus, chin or
i while great tears of honest German
misery coursed down his face and fell
splashing to the grounu.
''The battle went on. Detroit rallied
and used up a couple more of Anson's
pitchers. The White Stockings seemed
beaten, but they were dying hard
