Sixteen innings. 0 to 0. That was the
way the last game of the series be-
tween the Sox and the Athletics wound
up. People who left the park at the
finish, four minutes before o'clock,
did not regret the loss of supper half
as much as they would have regretted
missing that ball game.
Perhaps it was not the best ever
played, but don't try to tell anyone
that saw 1t that there have been many
better. The book says there was Just
one longer runless contest in the big
leagues and that was the one between
Washington and Detroit in July last
year. That one lasted eighteen rounds
Most of us n Used that one, so we must
be content to talk about yesterdays in

And when we talk don't let us say
that and so could and should have
scored In such and such an inning. Let
US remember only that neither side had
the shadow of right to win against
Meriden, Conn, and John Coombs OF
Colby college. And don't let us say
that Walsh was better than Coombs,
or that Coombs was better than Walsh.
They were both just about perfect.
Coombs struck out eighteen men.

NIGHT.

ct, outshining Venus in brilliancy,
was visible in the sky tonight. Along
the Atlantic seaboard in the South,
where the skies are not clouded, it
can be most clearly seen. Although
unidentified by the scientists. 1t is
unmistakably distinguished from
Halley's comet, and the astronomers
at the Naval Observatory here have
trained their telescopes upon it night
and day for nearly a week. 1t is
now so close to the sun that the
scientists have not been able to see
1t plainly by day, and the nights
have been SO clouded that their view
has been obscured.
Early in the week the comet was
visible at johannesburg, South Afri-
ca. Its appearance was reported by
cablegram to the Naval Observatory
here, and the scientists have been
on the watch for it night and day.
The big telescopes which survey
the skies from the Observatory on
the heights at Georgetown have 10

TWO MEN FATALLY CUT.
Serious Affair in Greenville's Red
Light District.

Greenville, Jan 22.-Traced for
one mile from the County Court
House by streaks Of blood on the
ground. two young white men, Will
Foster and Tom Scott, were found
today by the police near Carolina
Mills, cut. almost into mince meat.
From what could be learned from
the police 1t seems that in a free-for-
all fight in the red light district last
night, Foster and Scott were slashed
many times by an unknown man.
they staggered up town, and great
streaks Of blood in front of the
Court House led the officers to be-
lieve that a mysterious murder had
been committed. They traced the
drops Of blood from street to street
and located the men at the Carolina
Mills. They are both fatally cut.

Fian OF Abstaining From Flesh Has
Taken Great Hold In the Western
States

Washington, Jan. 23.-"Revolu-

the American people are suffering
now,' says Senator Joseph L. Bris-
tow. Of Kansas. M eat foots up to a
quarter of the average household ex-
penses, and 1t ought to be cheaper
today instead of dearer than 1t was
25 years ago because of the greater
economy in it's preparation and sale.
When was a boy 20 per cent. of the
carcass went to waste. Now nothing
goes to waste-not even the blood"
Senator Bristow's words crystalize
the sentiment of protest in all parts
Of the country against the higher
cost of living. Thus far the move
ment, which first took form in an
actual boycott at Cleveland, met with
most success in the West.
The East has been slower to fol-
low, influenced. perhaps, by a wide
spread feeling among small dealers
and in the labor unions that a uni
versal boycott. though effective as a
protest, would actually play into the
hands Of the packers, who with
their control of cold storage houses
and refrigerator lines could carry
product through a prolonged boycott,
whereas even 80 days cessation of
trade would put the small independ-
ents out of business.
What the scattered and sporadic
boycotts all over the country and the
universal protest have done, how
ever, is to focus the attention of the
nation upon the necessity for econo-
my.
The most serious warnings have
been sounded on this subject by
economists. statisticians and business
men without bringing the truth home
to the people as has their sudden
realization Of its application in one
particular.
President w. c. Brown of the New
York Central lines said in a recent
address: The most protentious
cloud upon the economic horizon is
the steady, relentless increase in
prices of everything that goes to
make up the cost of living"
Prof. E. R. A. Seligman Of Colum-
bia says:
THE situation is really so serious
that the government should awaken
to it."
James j. Hill has said that unless
more economical methods of faru-
ing are devised the nation in another
generation will be importing its food
supplies.
Such men as these hope that the
present national awakening will not
exhaust itself on one particular
phase Of national peril.

HErNzE INDICTMENT oUAsHED
Friends and Counsel of More En-
coursged.

New York, Jan. 22.-A decision by
Judge Hough In the United States
Court today, quashing the indjct-
ment against F. Augustus Heinse,
the financier and promoter, has Civ
en- renewed hope to the friends and
counsel Of Charles w. Morse, the
banker. now serving a term of fif-
teen years in the Federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga.
The ground for the Courts action
was that mainly urged by Heinze's
counsel. Judge Hough ruling that the
presence In the grand jury room Of
John p. Fernsier, an expert account
ant, in any capacity except that of a
witness was prejudicial to H.einze's
legal rights.
Judge Hough intimated in his de-
cision that the technical illegally
which he holds was committed in
this case might easily be remedied
by resubmission Of testimony In the
proper way to the grand jury. The
decision is considered important.
however. inasmuch as the same ao-
countant or another, equally dis
qualified under this decision, was, II
10 reported. employed before the fed
earl grand juries which indicted
Charles w. Morse and John r.
Walsh, the convicted bankers.
Martin w. Lttleton, Morse's law
yer. said tonight that the Heinze de-
cision OF today may apply equally to
the case of Morse and that II he
could establish similar facts he would
move that no valid indictment was
found against his client.
Heinze was indicted on October 12,
1909. for violation Of the national
banking law.

made. from such corn as was brought
in to select seed from when DR..
Knapp spoke here Wednesday they
need have no fear of pellagra," said a
physician who has given much time
and study to this disease in conver-
sation with a News reporter yester-
day.
"Pellagra doesn't come from corn
grown in this section, anyway, but
from that brought in here from the
Northwest. We doctors nearly all
agree that this disease is caused by
a fungus that grows in mouldy corn.
Therefore If you cure your corn pro-
perly 1t Is as plain as day that pella-
gra will be a thing Of the past.
Here in the South corn is cured in
the same old way that the pill
grams found the Indians doing it., In
the North. ON the other hand, they
use the most approved methods Of
curing and storing with the result
that they are now killing out the peo-
pie with this pellagra, due almost en-
tirely 70 their way OF handling their
corn. They laugh at the antiquated
way we Southern people handle our
corn but SO long as we continue in
this old rut we are immune from pei
lagra. if we eat nothing in the way of
corn except that cured in the old
fashioned Southern, way.
"But this is easier said than lived
up to. Many cases Of pellagra are on
record where the patients never ate a
pone Of cornbread in their lives. The
reason Is simple, though for a long
time 1t puzzled the medical world. II
the Northwest they grow a soft corn
which when ground up can scarcely
be detected from flour. Taking ad.
vantage Of this fact, many unscrupu-
lous millers put in a good proportion
OF this fungus laden stuff with their
flour and 1t is eaten unknowingly by
many who are afraid to touch our
harmless Southern corn products.
"Since have learned the above
facts there hasn't been sack of
meal made from Northern gro n
corn or sack of suspicious flour m
my house, and I eat as much corn
bread as any man my size in Green
Vile. The only way to be sure Of
what you are getting when you buy
meal is to be sure that it was raised
In the South and ground in a South
ern mill. This will cause a little in
convenience in taking the pains to
Investigate and the meal will cost a
little more but it is we'll worth the
difference to know that you are in no
danger from this disease which every
body so breads.
Il believe that when these facts I
have stated are known by the masses
they will insist on having nothing but
meal ground in neighborhood mills
from home raised corn. Such q de-
mand will greatly benefit the country.
