Y0RKVILLE'S BASEBALL TEAM
TOO STRONG FOR THE LOCALS
Fort Mill Boys Played Well, But Visi-
tors Got the Games---Too Much
Liquor in Evidence.

The Fort Mill baseball team
lost two games to Yorkville last
week. The second game of the
series was awarded to Fort Mill as
the result of a misunderstanding.
There was considerable difference
of opinion as to whether the
home team was entitled to the
game.
Wednesday afternoon the first
game of the series was played.
In the 18th inning the Yorkville
boys pushed in the winning run
after one of the prettiest con-
tests ever seen on the local
diamond. Trammel was in the
box for Yorkville and Bruce for
Fort Mill. Both pitchers were
as steady as a steam roller and
held the opposing batters we'll in
hand at all stages. Fort Mill
would have won the game but
for unfortunate errors in the
third inning which allowed the
Yorkville boys to tie the score
by amassing three runs. The
final score was: Yorkville 4, Fort
Mill 3. Batteries: Yorkville,
Trammel and Patrick; Fort Mill,
Bruce and Parks.
All doubt as to Fort Mills
ability to qualify as loud
mouthed, cussing, liquor-drink-
ing, fighting town was dispelled
at the game Thursday afternoon.
The pleasure of witnessing what
promised to be a closely con-
tested game was marred by the
unseemly conduct of number
Of spectators. The game wound
up in fight in which a baseball
bat was used to quiet one of
the GROWERS. The Yorkville
boys had not scored through
their half of the fourth inning.
in which a Fort Mill player raced
in and was declared safe. The
decision displeased the visitors
and they decided to quit the
game. Fort Mill was awarded
the game. Then a row started
between a drunken spectator and
a Fort Mill player, resulting in
the former being struck across
the forehead with a bat. Bat
teries: Yorkville, Rosseau and
Patrick; Fort Mill, Price and
Spong.
Friday afternoon the Yorkville
team clearly outplayed the locals
and won the game, which was
broken up in the fifth inning by
rain, 5 to 2. Batteries; York
vile, Rosseau and Rudisill; Fort
Mill, Price and Spong.

CLARK, DEMOCRATIC LEADER,
C0MMENDS STATES DELEGATION
Was Always Able to Depend on South
Carolinians- SPEAKS Well of Mr..
Finley's Service.

Congressman Champ Clark, of
Missouri, is a firm believer in
sticking to his colleagues on the
Democratic side of the house and
saying good word for them
whenever occasion permits. AS
minority leader he has not only
the admiration, but the love of
all his party associates and this
situation has been brought about
both by long years of intimate
association and comradeship.
Mr.. Clark was asked by the
Washington correspondent of The
News and Courier to tell some
thing of the work of the men,
bers of the South Carolina dele
cation in the House during the
session which has just ended and
readily agreed to do so, though
at the time he was busily en-
gagged with other duties:
LAS the long session of the Sixty
first Congress has adjourned, which.
taken in connection with the extraordi-
nary session, has entailed vast
amount of work on everybody con-
cerned, Mr.. Clark said, Il have been
turning over in my mind the record OF
the various delegations in the house
and there has been no delegation which
has been more faithful to it's duties.
both in attendance and voting always
with the Democrats, than the South
Carolina delegation. On every question
that has been made politically they
have lined up to a man and voted right.
For them, individually and collectively,

Mr.. Finley, who is the dean of the
delegation and who has now come to be
what Mr.. Cochran, of Missouri, used to
call an old and experienced member, is
the second Democrat in rank on the
great committee on postotliceS and post
roads. He is also the house Democrat
on the committee on printing. The
committee on postoilices and post roads
has come to be one of the most impor-
tant committees of the house, and Fin
ley IS active and influential in the dis
charge of his duties on that committee.
He has done much for the rural mail
carriers in the house and was one of
the principal factors in preparing the
Democratic substitute for the postal
savings bank bill. BY his services on
the printing committee he has been in
strumental in effecting a great many
economies. He is rated among the best
lawyers of the house and, while he does

FLINT HILL CHURCH DEDICATION
TO BE OBSERVED ON AUGUST 2

The dedication services of the
splendid new church which was
erected by the Flint Hill Baptist
congregation about two years
ago will be observed on August
End. The pastor, the Rev. Mr..
Hair, and the officers of the
church are planning to make the
dedication a memorable event in
the church'S history and already
arrangements are being perfected
to have all the surviving pastors
attend the services. Flint Hill
is one of the Oldest Baptist
churches in the State and in its
long history has been presided
over by many able and conse-
Grated men. Among the number
of former pastors who will at
tend the dedication and take
part in the services is. the Rev.
F. o. S. Curtis, loved man of
God and gallant veteran of the
Lost Cause" who for many
years ministered to the spiritual
needs of the Flint Hill COM
munity and otherwise did much
to endear himself to the entire
citizenship of this section. Mr..
Curtis is now the pastor of the
Baptist church at Walterboro.
An incident of the dedication
of Flint Hill church will be the
ordination of three deacons who
were elected at congregational
meeting Sunday. The new
deacons are Messrs. S. Q. Gar
rison, Rufus Ford and James F.
Boyd. Each was elected for a
term of four years. The three
other deacons Of the church are
Messrs. S. p. Blankenship, B. M.
Faris and D. V. Epps. Their
terms of office expire two years
hence. 1t is the general policy
of the Baptist church to elect the
members of its board of deacons
for life, but under the pastorate
OF the Rev. Edw. S. Reaves the
custom was changed, in the
interest of the church work.

Who's Who, Which is What ?

The prohibitionist candidates
for governor are having a nice
little squabble among themselves
as to who is the logical prohi-
bitionist candidate. There are
three candidates for governor on
this platform.
G. G.. Featherstone, who has
run for governor once and who
is now in the race on a State
wide platform, says that he is
the logical prohibition candidate
since he has advocated prohibi-
ton and fought for it on the
stump.
John G.. Richards, once State
dispensaryite, reconciles his po-
sition by saying that he believed
the dispensary the best solution
and that when the dispensary
fell he went to prohibition to
stay there. "
F. H. Hyatt, for 20 years an
advocate publicly of prohibition,
giving his money and influence
to the movement, and privately a
prohibitionist all his life, is in
the race and is claiming the
ground floor.

GOVERNOR NAMES COMMISSION
TO LOOK INTO INDIANS AFFAIRS

Governor Ansel has appointed
the commission provided for in a
concurrent resolution adopted at
the last session of the General
Assembly to investigate the con-
dition of the Catawba Indians,
whose reservation of 600 acres
of almost worthless land is Is
miles southeast of Fort Mill on
the Catawba river. Following
the provision of the resolution
which states that neither of the
three members of the commission
shall be a member of the General
Assembly, Governor Ansel has
named as the commissioners G.
w. f. Spencer, of Rock Hill;
Frank C Whitner, of Rock Hill,
and w. w. Lewis, of YorkviIle.
Under the terms of the resolu-
ton, which was introduced in
the senate by Mr.. Stewart and
in the house by Mr.. Glasscock,
York members of the General
Assembly, the commission is to
investigate the condition of the
Indians, with the view of pur-
chasing additional lands contigu-
Gus to their reservation to assist
them to become self-supporting
and useful citizens, if the plan is
considered feasible. Should
such action be taken it will mean
that the Catawba Indians will no
longer be wards of the State but
will be thrown upon their own
resources to earn a livelihood.
1t is estimated that it would
require an appropriation of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to
purchase the lands which the
Catawbas think necessary to
enable them to get along with
out the States bounty. The
State now appropriates annually
to these Indians So, 200, 5000
of which is divided pro rata
among them, the remaining 5000
being used for school purposes.
The commission is to report at
the next session of the General
Assembly.

Peanuts a Profitable Crop.

There is money for the farmers
of South Carolina in the grow
ing of peanuts for market,
though few seem to be inclined
to take advantage of the op-
portunity to increase their
revenue. 1t is doubtful whether
there is a single farm ir York
county on which is grown more
than a few bushels, for home
consumption. With the grow
ing demand for and constantly
increasing price of peanuts. it
would seem that instead of a
small patch here and there at
great intervals many farmers
would plant the peanut extern
Sively and thereby not only in
crease their income but add to
the improvement of the soil.
To most persons the peanut
suggests only the article as it
appears for sale, whole, shelled
or salted, but during recent
years the uses of peanuts have
become numerous, and include
WIDE range of utility. The
demand for peanuts for use in
the manufacture of food prepara-
tions is constantly increasing.
By-products of the peanut are
now being employed extensively
in the manufacture of feeds for
farm stock and dairy COWS.
The peanut is rapidly becom-
ing an important farm crop
throughout most of the Southern
States. It's vines are valuable as
forage and the peas that are not
marketable can be used for feed
ing purposes. Throughout the
boll-weevil district Of the cotton
belt the peanut is rapidly becom-
ing of importance as a money
crop, and special oil-producing
varieties will doubtless assist in
keeping the oil mills of the
Southern States supplied with
raw materials.
The peanut plant, in common
with other leguminous plants,
has the power of collecting the
free nitrogen of the atmosphere
and storing it in little nodules
upon its roots. For this reason
the peanut is one of the more
desirable of our soil-renovating
and soil-improving plants. 1t
should be borne in mind, how
ever, that in order to benefit the
soil the nitrogen so gathered
should not be removed, but that
the main portion of the roots
should be left in the soil.

Thos. F. mellow Out for the House.

Among the political announce
ments in The Times this week is
that of Thos. F. Mellow, ESQ.
who announces his candidacy for
the house of representatives.
For some time Mr.. Mellow has
been urged by friends from
various sections of the county to
enter the race, but he did not
agree to do so until a few
days ago. Several years ago he
was a member of the house from
York county and was considered
one of the stongest members of
the body. He is q strong lawyer,
a ready and pleasing speaker and
a sound thinker and his friends
are confident that the people of
the county will avail themselves
of the opportunity to again send
him to the General Assembly.

NEW STEEL BRIDGE AND REPAIRS
in PROSPECT FOR PUBLIC ROAD

There is the prospect of the
Barbersville road to Fort Mill
being improved and made pas
sable at all times and a new steel
bridge supplanting the old
wooden structure where the road
crosses Sugar creek. Within the
last week Mr.. Osmond Barber
has interested himself in the
undertaking and it now seems
certain that the supervisors of
York and Lancaster counties will
extend the aid necessary to
effect the improvements.
Some days ago Mr.. Barber
was in Lancaster and COM
municated with Supervisor Mob
ley of that county. He left with
the understanding that if Super
visor Gordon of York county
would agree to bear one-fourth
the expense of repairing the
road and building the bridge
that Lancaster county could be
depended upon to do as much,
the other half the expense to be
met by private subscriptions.
The estimated cost of the road
improvements and the steel
bridge is 81, 800. The bridge
will be 60 feet long. Mr.. Barber
has agreed to contribute $500
of the $3.50 necessary from pri-
vate sources and Monday morn
ing the remaining $3.50 was
raised by Mr.. Barber in Fort
Mill within an hour.
Mayor l.. A. Harris went to
Yorkville yesterday to appear be-
fore the board of county commits
sioners ig behalf of the under
taking and it is hoped to have
the bridge built and the road
work done within a few months.

not speak very frequently, he is always
listened to with great attention, be-
cause people know that he understands
what he IS talking about"
After praising the good work
of Congressman Finley, Mr..
Clark made individual references
to the South Carolina delegation,
the pm'port of which was that a
mistake would be made to send
new men to Congress from this
State to supplant men who are
experienced in national legisla-
ton.

about him two years ago. Evil
IDENTIFY, Mr.. Blease has a poor
opinion of Harley. He read from
prohibition newspaper, the
Laurens Advertiser, an editorial
in which it was stated that Har-
ley's work had done the cause
more harm than good. He is
opposed to forcing prohibition on
any county which does not want
it. He made a point against Mr..
Richards by displaying his per-
sonal check as evidence of his
good work in behalf of the
woman's monument.
