more than boosting to build Labor

Simp Sanders in Jail Again.

Last Friday young white man was
attracting attention along Main street
from the depot, as he was handeuffed
and bound with a rope, one end Of
the rope being held by a man who
accompanied him. Those who saw
the couple naturally supposed the
young man had committed a great
crime and was being brought in by
some officer of the law. The man
carried his prisoner to the sheriff's
office and turned him over to Sheriff
Buford. The prisoner was Simp San
ders, who is no stranger to Newberry
Jail, as he has been there before, first
with John and Frank Crouch, and
again upon his recapture after escap-
ing with John Crouch, all Of which is
too familiar to need repetition here.
Suffice it to say that after his recon-
mftment by Sheriff Buford, some time
ago when Sanders was caught while
visiting his wife in Union, he was re-
leased on bond by his father-in-law.
Since then Sanders has been getting
into more trouble, it is said, and hiG
father-in-law had him brought to
Newberry, making sure Of not losing
the $500 which had been de-
posted for the prisoners appearance
at court. So Simp Sanders again re-

West End Defeats Clinton.

West End on Saturday afternoon
scored it's fifth victory in as many
games by defeating the Clinton team
in Clinton, the result being to 3, TIE
latter part of the game was very ex-
citing, with the score 4 to 0, Clinton
began her run-getting in the eighth,
and made the score to 8 before the
Newberrians could stop them.
Waldrop, pitching for West End,
was invincible up to the seventh, not
a hit being secured OF his delivery
until the seventh inning. He let up
at that time, however, and in the
seventh and eighth three hits were
secured by the Clintonites. In the
ninth, with two men on bases, he
struck out two, and threw the third
man out at first, retiring the side.
Riddle, for Clinton, also did effective
work in the box, allowing only three
hits, and striking out seven.
Wicker, for Newberry, carried on
the batting honors Of the day, his
three-bagger to deep centre In the
first inning, with three men on bases,
being responsible for Newberry's
scores. Having brought In the three
runners, he himself scored on an er-
ror. This wound up West Ends run
getting for the entire game. Smith
on third played perfect fielding
game for Newberry, accepting every
chance that came his way, and some
that did not. His fielding in several
instances bordered on the sensational.
Wessinger put up a good game at
short for the locals. ..-.
Hammett. was the heavy-hitter for
Clinton, his long hit in the seventh
apparently being responsible for the
rally Of his team in the seventh and
eighth.
These teams will pull off two games
in Newberry the last Of this week,
playing one at College park on Fri
day afternoon at 4.15, and the other:
at West End park on Saturday after
noon at the same hour Edison will
be sent to the mound for NeWberry,
and Bailey will twirl for the visitors
on Friday. These are two of the best

is needless to say that they will make
the game interesting.
