Hartsville. Darlington and Florence
are in luck in securing a branch of
the Seaboard Air Line. We congratu-
late them and wish them increased
prosperity when they are upbottled.
The scare thrown into the blind tig-
ers by the wholesale arrests OF a few
weeks ago and the vigorous prosecu-
tion that followed has worn off. and
We are Informed and believe that the
Illicit sale of liquor is being carried
on as a regular business in Sumter.
The dealers in liquor are not so bold
and careless as they were prior to the
round up by the special detectives but
they are doing business and those who
know the ropes can obtain liquor. day
or night. The tigers are harder to
catch than they were and even a de-
tachment OF detectives could not come
here now and round up a bunch as
was done before the tigers were made
TO realize that they were not running
the town. The question is, what are
we going to do to enforce the law?
Gen. Willie Jones. of Columb bia,
trustee and decoy for the Seminole
Securities Company has not resigned
the Chairmanship Of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee as he
should have done as soon as the Sem
mole scandal became public. He
holds on like grim death to this posi-
ton of honor just as he holds fast
to the $1,000 paid him for the use of
his name by the Seminole promoters.
AS he has failed to do the obvious
and proper thing by resigning from
the committee. his successor should
be elected at the earliest possible
date. The Democratic party Of South
Carolina cannot AFFORD to give the
Seminole swindle even a quasi en-
dorsement by retaining as chairman
OF the executive committee one of the
decoys In the biggest "con" game ever
perpetrated on the people Of South
Carolina.

On Verge Of q Golf War
So Thinks Leighton Call<ins. With a Putter
the Cause of All the Trouble.

T the Garden City Golf Club OH Wednesday
night was 81 to IS in favor of supporting
the ST Andrews ruling. Charles 3. Mac
donald, Daniel Chauncey and other In
f1uential members worked with a will tc
change the sentiment of those who were
not in favor Of accepting the ruling.
AS result of Mr.. Macdonald vigorous
campaign the following resolution was
adopted at the meeting:
Resolved. That 1t is the sentiment of the
Garden City Golf Club that the game OF
golf shall be played in accordance with
Section 10 of the bylaws. of the United
States Golf Association, which reads:
The competitions shall be played in &C
Cordance with the rules Of golf. as adopted
by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of st.
terpretatiOns as adopted by the United
States Golf Association, together with such
local rules as are in force and published on
the green over which the competition takes
place"
And that the delegate from the Garden
City Golf Club to the meeting OF the United
States Golf Association. TO be held in Chi
cago on January H. 1911, is instructed to
vote accordingly at such meeting.
We are opposed to any deviation from
the rules of golf as adopted by the Royal
and Ancient Golf Club, of ST. Andrews,
Scotland, subject to the ruling and inter-
probation as stated in the abovss section.
Only two clubs have now declared them
selves-the Garden City Golf Club for and
the Plainfield Country Club against. The
action of other leading clubs will not be
watched with interest.
New-York tribune., 1910-12-23

In the opinion Of Leighton Calkins, presi-
dent of the PIainfield Country Club, war
between the golfers of the East and West
will be declared if majority of the CLUBS
In this part OF the country decide to follow
the example of the Garden City Golf Club
in it's allegiance to st. Andrews on the
mallet headed putter controversy.
When seen at his office, yesterday, Mr..
Calkins called attention to the altitude OF
the West year ago on the proposed Tor
nation OF Il new national body, and eX-
pressed the opinion that the insurgents in
the West We're not entirely satisfied with
the turn affairs had taken.
Whether or not the Western Golf Asso-
citation decides to branch out along na-
on what takes place at the meeting of the
United States Golf Association, to be held
in Chicago on January a. Nh. Calkins
said further:
Il have always been firm in the stand
that the United States Golf Association
should be loyal to old st. Andrews. and
have never failed to work to that end, but
the time has arrived when we must think
for ourselves. Furthermore, If the gov
erninR body here makes the mistake of
blindIy upholding st. Andrews in this
foolish barring Of the Schenectady putter.
and by so doing should bring about a split
in this country, shall lend my support to
the new organization"
1t seems that the vote at the meeting of

GRIFFIN GETS THE CALL
Wins Popular Decision in Fact
Bout with BeeCher.

Boxing with all the fury which marked
his early bouts in this country, Charlie
Griffin, the Australian featherweight, out
pointed and easily earned the popular de-
cision over Willie Beecher, Of the East
Side in fast ten-round bout at the Long
acre Athletic Association last night From
gong to gong the boys battled with all their
speed and skill, and the crowd which packed
the hall to its capacity was kept keyed UP
to the highest point of excitement.
The contest marked the last appearance
of the Australian in this country, and Char
lie battled hard in order to win. A gather
ing of two hundred Englishmen was on
hand to encourage him to further effort,
and he repaid their confidence In his
ability.
Beecher made a furious rally in the last
round, trusting to luck to land swing or
hook which would turn the tide of battle
in his favor, but Charlie was on the alert,
and although Beecher landed hard and
often, his opponent was never in dan
ger. Beecher had the better of only the
third and final rounds In the other periods
the lad from the Antipodes had matters in
the hollow OF his hand, and it was only
the superior physique OF the Ghetto youth
that saved him from more decisive defeat
q degree Of skill which he had not shown
since he held Battling Hurley to a
ten round draw at the Fairmont a. c.
two years ago, He was aggressive, fast
and at the same time was clever He
worked with calm skill and was cool
and deliberate in the face of the fercest
yolleys of which Beecher was capable His
left hand worked with the frictionIess
speed Of ii well regulated machine and had
Beecher up in the air. He shot it home
from any angle and popped it under and
over Willie's guard without let up.
The eighth round was a nightmare for
Beecher. Griffin jabbed and hooked his
left to the face and cleverly drew away
from the returns. Reecher rushed into
clinch and tried for the stomach, but
Griffin turned inside the attack and had
no trouble In evading the majority of the
blows. On the break Griffin shot home two
leftS 10 the face ducked a right hook and
landed three lefts without return.
Beecher worried, but fought back hard.
Lew Powell and Jack Goodman will meet
In the main bout Of ten rounds at the
National Sporting Club of America to-
night.
