medium sized crowd was out to
see the Yorkville-F Fort Mill game Fri
day afternoon and witnessed fair eX-
hibitiOn of the national game, but one
that was not closely enough contested
to make it especially exciting. the
feature of the game was some heaVy
hitting by both teams, Rudisill and
Rrownlee of the locals, both knocking
home runs. MCCants of the Fort Mill
team, made a sensational one-handed
catch of a fly ball. The final score was
10 to 6 in favor Of Yorkville. The bat
teries were: Fort Mill-Spratt and
Parks: Yorkville-Smith and Rudisill.

YOrkville's team goes to Fort Mil
Wednesday for three games, and from
what the Fort Mill boys said when they
were here last week. the locals Will
have to work for every run they get
during the series. The YOrkville team
will be equally as strong as it was last
week and will he materially strength
ened i'm several particulars. 1t is un-
derstood that the Fort Mill manage
ment is securing the earth to get to-
gether a team that will win from their
visitors. The hackers of the local
team are confident that the boys will
be there when the final score is chalk
ed up.
Glover defeated Bessemer City in a
good game Saturday afternoon at Clo-
yer by a score of to /.
The Carhartt mill team will play
Yorkville on the local grounds next
Saturday afternoon at 4.30 O'Clock.
A series of three games VIII be
played on the Yorkville grounds be-
ginning Monday afternoon, July A.,
with the RutherfOrdtOn, \. C.. team
against the locals. The Rutherford
ton team is easily the strongest anna
teur team playing in this section this
season and with the lineup of players
that will represent Yorkville. the
games will undoubtedly be close and
a big crowd should be out to witness
each game.

The Last Outpost.-California has
become too civilized for fight to the
finish between two champion heavy
weights. Governor Gillett has declar-
ed for law and order, the respectable
element has predominated. The spec
tacle of the two bruisers "slashing
each others faces into ribbons" is not
to be tolerated in the Golden state.
California has outgrown the days
Of 40. Effete civilization has crept
in where once the gold-seekers and
the Argonauts held sway. California
Is no more the rough frontier where
the yellow dust is the price current
for the drinks. where the only wo-
men are the kind with rouge on their
cheeks, where the roof Is the limit,
and where men can stand up to each
other naked and lay on with bare
fists.
So the big fight will pass on to Ne
vada. Here the mining camp Is still
in its primitive glory. Here adventur-
ers from the four corners Of the world
are foregathered and the code Of hon.
or of the stone age still obtains.
Church steeples have not as yet rear
ed themselves over the gaudy fronts
Of the saloons and gambling houses.
Here men are still men, simple,
SlTdlRHl tO the pOlnt anu true. lHcy
are living over again the epic Of the
lost ages. The weakling, the faint
hearted and the voluptary do not enter
into their scheme Of existence. Their
guiding principle, the only principle
that they will die to uphold is that
things have got to be run en- the
square.
There is little chance that in Neva-
da the fight will be fake. Neither
Johnson, nor Jeffries could hope to
get out of the state alive If they were
caught attempting anything under
hand or suspicious. Not that the fight
would have been crooked had 1T ta-
ken place in California. but held in
Reno. it will be open to no doubts
whatever.
A few more years, and Nevada, too,
will have outlived its pioneer days.
The Argonauts will have gone on to
the more rugged outposts Of civiliza
ton. There is scarcely place in the
United States today, excepting Nevada
where a genuine prize fight could be
held. The battle for the champion
ship on July 4. may be the closing
chapter in the history Of the prize
ring in Observation-Disclosures Times
Star.

WITHIN THE TOWN..

Local tomato raisers are complain
ing that the vines are dying from ar
unexplanable wilt.
- The choral service at the Episco-
pal church last Sunday night was en-
joyed by a large congregation. The
offertory. sung by the full vested choir
was especially beautiful.
- The congregation Of the Church OF
the Good Shepherd, decided last Sun
day to give their rector, Rev. T. T
Walsh, a vacation for the months OF
July and August.
- Ike Darwin, a we'll known Yorkville
negro, had one of his legs broken last
Friday evening by being pulled from
the top of a freight car on the c. &
NV. railway. Ike, with another boy
boarded the northbound freight train
as 1t left the Yorkville depot, intending
to ride up to the point of meeting the
southbound freight train and COMING
back They were on top OF freight
car at a point about two miles from
town. when Ike was caught by a low
hanging telephone wire and thrown
between two cars. falling 20 the ground
sustaining a broken leg. Medical at
tention was given the injured man as
soon as practicable and he is now get
ting along as comfortably as could be
expected.
The town council has recently TAX
en- up with the Southern railway au-
thorities the matter Of putting Rail-
road street, from East Liberty to East
jefferson, in good condition. The street
has been a bone of contention be-
tween the town and railroad ever
since the track was laid down in 1888
The original contract with the rail-
road provided that the right Of way
through the. street would be granted
provided the railroad people would put
all of it's track, except the rails, below
the ground level, and repeated efforts
have been made to have this agreement
carried out. Up to this time nothing
has been done. A short time ago the
condition of the street was brought to
the attention of the council, on account
of the improper drainage, stagnant
mOsuuto- breeding pools along the
street, danger to vehicles and pedes-
trians, ETC., and it was decided that
the matter. should be laid before the
railroad people in the hope that con-
ditions might be improved. With this
end in view a letter was forwarded to
the division superintendent at Charles
ton and that gentleman has replied that
he will make it a point to come to
Yorkville within a short time with a
view to relieving the conditions COM
planned of.

another; but after all who has scored
a greater victory that f. NJ. William
son? Who has taken a higher place
in the esteem of his fellowmen? He
has no rivals among the politicians or
statesmen. There are none among the
newspaper men, the doctors, the law
yers. and only a few among the edu-
Gators and the business men. He has
probably won any honor that he could
ask. No specific reward that could be
given can equal the one that has come
as an inevitable consequence of the
merit that brought it.
But the campaign is still on. There
is many a moat to cross and many a
rampant to be stormed on the plains
of peace. There is no danger that any
single man will win such a great vic
tory or so many of them that there
will be no more victories for the am
bilious faithful who continue 20 strive.
The fields of York county are. as fertile
and as promising and as numerous as
tnOSe OIL any OlHel ioSdillN uiiu'i 'iiS
sun. There are victories to be achiev-
ed by the preacher, the lawyer, the doc
tor, the newspaper man, the business
man, all, and there is plenty Of coin in
the shape Of honest applause, and even
in gold where that is preferable, to pay
for every victory in accordance with
it's value.
There is really more room for high
er and greater victories on the farm
than there has ever been. We believe
that this is the most promising field.
Of course we do not know. But we
are sure-we are absolutely sure-that
there is abundant reward for well-di-
rected effort. And there is no room
for encouragement, no room for croak-
ers. Those who shirk the responsible
tiles of the duties Of peace, have no
counterpart except in the stra%glers.
who manage to drop behind during the
progress of the battles Of war.
Just as Napoleon said that every
private soldier had in his haversack
the baton of a marshal, so it may be
said that every ambitious citizen of
York county has in his business, if he
will apply his intelligence, energy and
patriotism, the laurel crown of Will

Rock Hill, June 27:-The marriage
| of Miss Marie Russell Stover and Mr.
Lawrence Hudson McFadden, which
was solemniZed Wednesday afternoon
at o'clock, was an affair notable for
its sweet simplicity and impressive
ness. The home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. d. b. Slower, was made
| beautiful with ivy, daisies and grace
full ferns. In a corner of the parlor
was an artistically improvised canopy
of white ribbon, twined with greenery
and back Of this was handsome pink
| hydrangea, giving the needed touch of
color. To the strains of the wedding
march played by Miss Katie Pierson
of this city, the young couple entered
| together and were united in the holy
bonds by Rev. r. T. Marsh Of the First
Baptist church and Rev. A. s. Rogers
Of the A. r. P. church. The bride wore
q dainty costume of white silk tissue
with trimmings Of lace and pearl net
This was changed later to a green coat
| suit. After the serving of dainty sweet
course, the bridal couple and a large
party of friends went up to Newport
| where that evening a large reception
| was given by the grooms parents. Mr.
and Mr. j. A. McFadden. This hosp!-
| table home was thrown open to receive
the young couple and the sixty or more
guests who were bidden to do them
honor. Potted plants and cut flowers
made a pleasing decoration. The Dar-
| lor was pink and green and the dining
| room was white and green in which
an elaborate wedding supper was
served by Misses Maggie Faulkner OF
Glover, Hattie Bradford Of Chester
and Nora Roach of Newport, and Lit
| tie Misses Margaret Bagley and Jear
Roddey Black AS the guests entered

pinned on by Miss Mary Jackson OF

Victories of Peace.

Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war;
Show us the man who is Indifferent
to the plaudits of his fellowmen, and
we will show you man who gets so
little out of life that he may as well
be dead.
Appreciative applause is the coin of
merit, the real compensation of the
highest and best effort-the thing that
spurs mon to excel, whether as plug
ugly of the prize ring, the inventor in
his study or workshop or the minister
in his pulpit, and whether the applause
co 1e, as in the one case in the form of
shuf1ng feet, hand clappng, or cat
like fawning. or in the other case in
the form of the sincerest benedictions
of grateful nation, it is equally sweet
to those to whom it may be directed
the measure to each according to his
capacity.
1t is hardly necessary to explain the
so-called victories of war, for the idea
is clear. All the really great generals
have come in for their applause, and
they continue to receive it-of quail
itv that seems to suit the character Of
their respective exploits and services,
and measured according to the point Of
view of different individuals.
The battles of peace are going on
now, and are unnoticed except through

than is required for the comprehension
of the strife of the campaigns of de-
structon of property and life. But to
those who can see, evidences of
achievement and victory are no less
marked.
without going back any further, in
the campaign of peace, what victory of
war ever conferred such a blessing on
vention of the telegraph or the tele-
phone. Who cannot see that the influ-
ence wrought upon the future of civ
iliZation by the battle of Waterloo is
not less than the influence wrought by
the invention of the flying machine by
the Wrights? The invention of the
steam engine did more for mankind
than all the wars in which mankind
has ever been engaged, and the util-
ization of electricity for light and
power will eventually relegate even
steam.
These are things that are seen of all
men-they are established and not to
he disputed. But does it occur to the
reader that the victories of peace have
all been won? Dismiss the thought.
Comparatively speaking there is as
much to do as there has ever been.
Imagine the climbing of a cloud cap
heights seem to rise as high as at the
beginning. and the only way of judging
of progress is by looking down To the
starting point. Civilization has come
a long way: but there is no limit ahead,
no more than there are confines to
eternity.
And young man, although the vic
tories To which we have pointed are
apparently in other generations and
out of your sphere, do not take up such
an idea. The battle of peace is going
on all around you, and victories are
being won every day, and fame and
applause are coming To all who deserve
them. The coming may he more or
less impcrceptiblc maybe, but coming
all the same.
There might he difference of opin-
ion as To the greatest OF the victories
of peace that have been won in South
Carolina during the past generation.
Some would say one thing and others

cannot he forced to trial until the third
day after arraignment.

THE management Of the Associated
Press kicked out member of it's staff
the other day, because of the disclos-
ure of information to the effect that
the man was in the pay of foreign
shipping interests to do all he could to
prevent the passage of ship subsidy
bill through congress. And yet when
ever n Southern Democrat sees proper
to suggest that this country should do
something to secure the carrying of
it's ocean freight in American bottoms,
there is sure to be yell about SYM
pathy with the proposed Republican
ship subsidy steal. We have believed
all the while, that foreign ship owners
were the principal obstacle to the es-
tablshment of an American merchant
marine, and it is only because of Re-
publican quiescence that they have
been successful up to this time.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-06-28

there is no reason why the other should
be cast down, or disappointed. The
public does not think any less Of him.
He may have enemies who will get
malicious pleasure out of his discOm-
fiture but he need not pay any at
tentiOn to that. One cannot afford TO
worry over the pleasure of his enc
mics.
Sometimes the public, or a part of
it, likes to joke about the discomfit
ure Of defeated candidates; but as a
rule there is nothing personal in this
joking. 1t is always In good part and
the object of the joking, shows that he
is made out of the proper stuff when
he receives it right.
The offices do not belong to any man
or any set of men. They belong to the
people. OF course, the real sentiment
of the people is sometimes nullifed by
slick wire pulling. The politician gets
in work from time to time that tells.
Often the people take up new man
who has no record and elect him. Of
ten also they jump on an old man who
has a record and smash him. The new
man without a record is generally at a
loss to know what ii means, 1t almost
takes his breath away. The old man
with a bad record is frequently lust as
much surprised. and his breath goes
too.
But all citizens who desire to sub
NIT their claims to the voters should
do so, without hesitation. No healthy
minded citizen is going to raise objec-
tion against the candidacy Of any man.
The public thinks more of a man, who
has the nerve to come before 1t than
it does of the man who is lacking in
that nerve. 1t thinks mighty little Of
the man who holds back because he Is
scared-less than II would If heMeuld
come forward and take the licking that
it would like to administer.
But for a would-be candidate who
has no record to hold aloOf simply be-
cause of fear Of defeat Is absurd.
Such a man does injustice to himself
and injustice to the public.
