commencing next Monday, August %
under the auspices of the Yorkvillt
Baseball association.
Mr.. ]. c. Wilhorn made real es-
tate transfers last week to the amount
Of something over sixteen thousand
dollars. He is getting inquiries every
day, and reports that the demand fol
real estate, especially farm lands, is
stronger than it has been at this sea-
son for years. There has not beer
much stiffening of prices as yet; but he
calculates that if present conditions
continue values will soon go soaring ir
the direction of what they should be
The sales last week include the trans
fer of the Mrs. Katy Williamson place
near McConnellsville to Mr.. j. M. Sea-
gle of Rock Hill, and the r. c. Ellis
place, six miles southeast of YorkVille
to Mr.. Robert WithersDoon.

matter is that at the time of which
Mr.. Brunson speaks practical Prohihi-
tioniSts generally had sense enough tG
see the situation created by the Brice
law offered them all that they could de-
sire in one step, and there was no ell
thusiasm over the idea of trying pro-
hibition fight behind such a would-b,
leader as Mr.. Brunson was generally
thought to be. Mr.. Featherstone was
by no means the only PrOhibitiOnist
who failed to see the wisdom of such
a caper. There were thousands of
them who thought just as he did and
subsequent events have amply vindi-
Gated their Judgment. Although max
ing the most of Mr.. Brunson's disgruh
tlement in pursuance of its desperate
efforts To discrcdit Mr.. Featherstone
we can't help thinking that the Colum
bia State is about as much disgusted
with the spirit that the eN-candidatt
from Sumter is showing as most other
people will be.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The ball game at Filbert Friday af-
| ternoOn between teams representing
Glover and Rock Hill resulted in VIC
tory for the Cloverites by a score of
to 0.
The Fats won yesterdays game from
the Leans by a score of IL to 6. AS a
fun producer the game was a howl
ing success. 1t was a hot one from
start to finish, Old Sol getting in some
of his best work as he slowly sunk
toward the western horizon and some
of the players perspired as they hadn't
done before in years. In many res
poets the game had all the trimmings
that go with the game as played by
the national leaguers. There was a
good crowd OF ladies, gentlemen and
children; there was lots of roofing for
the two teams, and the umpires. as
usual failed to please both sides
Some of the players were ball toss
ers once, and knew the game, with al
of it's tricks, and lacked only prac-
tice. Others were novices and their
playing showed it clearly. Some OF
them could hit the ball-Sometimes-
and others only hit at ii. Some could
catch a ball and some could stop it on
the bounce-SometimeS but the spirit
of the game never waVered from be-
ginning to end. 1t was gotten up as a
fun producer and ii made good. II
would have made a good comic NOV
ing picture. Some of the players wore
uniforms-no two alikr-made for the
occasion and gave the game the at
mosphere of a circus ring, only lack
ing red lemonade and peanuts. The
lineup of the teams was like this
part of the time: Fats-Neil, H., c;
Tate, J. A., 2b; Quinn, +. f., 3b; Lewis

played Il team from Fort Mill at their
park last Friday afternoon. The game
lasted If innings and was called on aC-
count of darkness with a score of II

n politician. South Carolina is the
only state on the Atlantic coast with
out system Of state aid for road
building and is on level with Nevada,
| Wyoming, Arkansas and Mississippi
on this important question. Georgia
| is building ten miles of roads every
day in the year with convict labor,
and even at that rate it would require
twenty-seven years to cover the state.
The convicts build the roads and they
are maintained by contractors. South
Carolina has 41.S39 miles Of roads and
only 100 miles are improved. The
speaker called attention to the fact
that I'm Georgia the state cOnvicts are
building roads for the farmers, whilr
I'm This state the cOnvicts are raising
cotton, corn, grain, etc, I'm cOmpeti-
ton with the farmers, while the farm
crS i'm the different counties a'e called
out to work the roads. State aid must
be had.
He gave n number of instances
showing how land values are increaS-
ed by good roads. how the farmer II
put i'm close touch with the markets
and are enabled to take every advant-
age of high prices for their products.
He also stated that the future of the
rural free delivery system depended
on the road question. The postal au-
thorities have determined to cut out
all routes where the roads are not
what they should be and extend the
benefits I'm all cases where road con-
ditions would warrant extension.
Seven counties of the state are de-
manding it's Legislative candidates to
express themselves on the question or
state aid for the public roads and the
sentiment was spreading to other
counties.
Mr.. Winslow closed by emphasizing
the necessity of organization II any
thing Is to be accomplished. Ten
good. earnest men can start the move
ment toward success in this county.
It is up TO the people. Good roads
and good schools go hand in hand.
The state is suffering from a surplus
of politicians and a lack of broad
gauge statesmen. The legislature Will
pay no attention to you unless public
sentiment is behind the movement.
Good roads are a necessity. You can
have them If you will What are you
going to do about it,"
At the close of Mr.. Winslow's ad-
dress, which was carefully listened
to throughout. a motion was made and
carried for a temporary organization
looking to the formation of York
County Good Roads association. Mr..
| A. L. Black and Mr.. A. M. Grist were
elected president and secretary re-
spectively. and the president was In
structed to appoint committee or
three to fix a date and attend to de-
tails looking to the calling OF meet
ing in the court house for the purpose
of forming a permanent organization.
The meeting then adjourned.

The crops down the Blairsville road
are generally fine. There are great
fields of cotton on both sides of the
road. which though late, are well fr"it-

fields of corn that show evidence OF
having made fine start, the advantage
of which was lost i'm the shuttle; but
