BASEBALL NOTES.

Today? Why, of course it will be
different.
Some of Rutherfordton's ball play
ers must have been born in South Car
olina.

Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, ran
along the ring, calling to Bob Arm

In an instant after the crowd real
lied that the fight was over, the ring

The short-end betting men were
hilarious, but in the great mass OF
spectators, there was a feeling Of per-
sonal loss. Hope had lived in thous-
ands of breasts until the last minute
and now their idol had crumbled and
this black man stood peerless. They
could not help but admire him and
there was little sympathy shown. Hun

heavy financial loss.

IT will have to be admitted that so
far as campaign noise goes, most of 1t
is coming from John T. Duncan, B. B..
Evans and Cansler Of TirZah. Each is
in a class by himself. Everybody
knows Cansler, and there is no need to
analyze him any further. Duncan and
Evans are saying unpleasant things
that have more or less truth in them:
but which are very unsatisfactory for
the reason that there appears to be
no way by which the people could help
themselves. Granted that every word
that Duncan and Evans is saying Is
true, very few people are able to see
that the situation would be improved
by the election of either of them.
There is no policy so silly as that Of
supporting a meritless man on the de-
merits of his opponents.

OUR correction of a serious error in
last Fridays paper was not inserted
until a part of the edition had been
printed and we are therefore printing
the correction again. AS the result of
inadvertence, the name of Mr.. Feath-
erstone was put under Mr.. McLeod's
picture, and Mr.. McLeod's name was
put under Mr.. Featherstone's picture.
While, of course, no offense has been
taken where no offense has been in
tended, we will further square the mat
ter by agreeing with both of these gen.
tlemen that each is better looking than
the other.

Money.

Although not necessary to happiness,
money is very necessary to comfort,
and therefore it is incumbent on all
bread winners to look out after some
money.
1t is commonly understood that il is
save it, or make proper use of it, AL
most anybody can make money; but
those who use it properly are compar-
atively few.
The inexperienced man who has
money, whether he made it himself, or
whether he inherited it. or found it,,
generally finds that to take care of IT
properly, he must not only guard
against his own folly, but must be on
the constant lookout for those who
would take it away from him.
It is not generally understood by the
inexperienced, but it ought to be, that
the man of the road with the black
mask and the pistol is not the most
dangerous enemy for him to guard
against. There are others with meth
ods more peaceful and more cunning,
but no less effective.
1t was Solomon, who told us how the
fool and his money soon parteth," and
If this fact is to be taken as a correct
basis of Inference as to who are fools,
it will appear that the percentage Of
the wise in proportion to the unwise,
is small.
AS a general rule, those who earn
money by their own labor, and on their
own initiative know better how to
take care of it than do those who find
it in windfalls; but of all the problems
that confront mankind. the difficulty of
taking care of money and of making
proper use of it. is one of the hardest.

nances stand. They would like to know
how much money you have collected,
who you paid it to and what for, and
what your bonded Indebtedness is. The
law says you shall give all this infOr-

solemn oath to obey the law. OF course
you are going to give the information

- Rev. /. G.. Murray rendered his
resignation as pastor of the YOrkville
Baptist church on Sunday morning to
become effective not later than OctO-
Der /. Mr.. Murray has been pastor of
the church since December 1906, when
he came here from Lafayette, Ala,
where he had been located for several
years, and during his entire pastorate
has impressed the community with the
fact that he is intensely in earnest
about his work, and ever on the alert
to do anything that he believes Is cal
culated to advance the cause of Chris
tianity as well as the moral interests
Of the community. During mis- pastor
ate about 10 members have been
added to the local church, about one
half by baptism and the remainder by
letter, and larger contributions have
been made to missions and other be-
nevolent objects than during any sim
liar period i'm the history of the church.
The resignation came as a distinct
surprise to the entire congregation.
Mr.. Murray has made no announce
ment as to his plans for the future. 1t
is generally conceded that both he and
his most excellent wife have few equals
as Christian workers.

JOHN T. Duncan is little too indis-
criminate in his charges. He includes
too many people; but then he ought
not to be blamed for that, maybe. Ethics

doings are in a class with the doers
of shady doings. According to this
rule. Duncan may not seem to be so
far afield after all. He is only less
polite than some of the balance Of us.
