In his speech the other day, Com
missioner Watson told the farmers
that if he were a member of the leg
islature he would introduce a bill pro-
viding for the purchase by each coun-
ty of a fine Thoroughbred bull of some
recognized dairy type. There is moth
ing the matter with the hint; but since
Mr.. Watson is not a member Of the
general assembly and since the same
result can he accomplished more sat-
isfactorily by private means. we are
expecting York county folks to carry
out the idea by doing several times as
much as has been suggested as neces-
sary for a starter.

The News and Courier seems to
think that Notwithstanding the protes-
tations of the administration to the
contrary. the resignation of Secretary
Dickinson from the cabinet is indica-
tive of a purpose to intervene in the
Mexican trouble. Just how the News

fess that we do not know. In fact we
are at a loss to size up the purposes of
those in charge of the matter and will
simply have to wait developments.

There is a very strong sentiment
among the Democratic leaders that
serious complications between the
United States and Mexico at this time
would certainly result in the re-elec-
ton of President Taft. The experience
of the government has shown that the
voters have been unwilling to SWAP
presidents during time of war.

The increase of 26.5 per cent in the
value of agricultural products in South
Carolina during 1910, as compared with
1909, shows that this old state is 60
ing some; but we are unwilling to ad-
NIT that she has fairly started yet. If
she only will, South Carolina can in
crease the value of her farm products
several hundred per cent.

TRY PATERSON
Announce Railing Gams
Sunday at Amusement Park.

With the Marions wiping up every
thing in sight, Manager Mullen has
more to worry about getting a team
to beat his aggregation than to find
teams that are easy picking. For
Sundays game at Amusement Park,
the Paterson B. Be, nine will be
the Marions' opponents, and If the
locals take the long end of the score
in this game, they can be counted as
one of the best teams In this state.
The Paterson aggregation is recog-
nized as the cream of the state and
their strength can be figured from
their game with a team composed of
Cleveland American League players,
in which they were defeated I to 0.
The game was played last Sunday at
Paterson and 1t took the Maps best
playing to defeat the Paterson boys.
A large attendance is expected as this
game will probably be the main at
traction for Sunday.
For Sunday, July 2, they have
completed arrangements for a game
with the Danish S. A. c. This Is the
game 'of a series with this
team, the Marions being victorious
in the first. There is considerable
between these teams. The
Danes are out to capture this game,

everything possible to ~disappoint

Manager Apologize Secures Good Attraction for Sunday
Afternoon on Copper Works acknowledgements A. c. is
Considered One of the Fastest Mines in This Vicinity

q. Manager Frank Apologize, of the
Franklin F. C. baseball aggregation,
has carded a good attraction for the
next game on the copper works dia-
mond next Sunday afternoon. The
opponents of the Franklin team will
be the fast American A. C. nine of
Passaic. The Passaic team has a

of the best in its vicinity. This will

The name In which the Franklin

betting which, on account of last

F%ranklins. OF course the numerous
rooters OF the Saints will have to be

Fish Tales

Arson Hildebrant and Ben Robin
son, Of Newark, ffshed at the end of
the. C~heesequake Creek jetties Tues
day and caught a fine mess of cells.
They had intended to try for weak
fish, but the east wind cut up such a
sea that 1t was impossible to hold
anchor on the fishing grounds.
Thomas Lynch, Of Newark, tried
for bluefish off Sandy Hook yesterday
and caught seventeen. He was out
with Captain H. Walker, of South
Beach, and used menhaden for bait.
The captain said that the reason the
blues were not biting in the bay was
because everybody is trolling for
them, and the fish, being hungry
after their long fast, are looking for
something more substantial than an
empty hook. Menhaden in large
pieces are landing the fish off shore.

No Other Club Hangs On to Old Timers

There is not a club in either major
league which is harbor1ng as many
veterans as the Pittsburg club Of the
National league. Manager Fred Clarke
himself is way up in the thirties'
Then comes Tommy Leach, who is not
far behind Clarke in the matter Of age
and yet displays more energy and
aggr~essiveness than 90 per cent OF
the youngsters who break into the
game. Hans Wagner is by no means
a kid. He has been playing for years
and yet is q star. Last, but not least,
comes Deacon Philippe, the veteran
twirler, who is really being carried be
cause of the fact that he did much
for the Pirates in years gone by. No
other club shows such ar array OF vet
Grams. When the average ball player
grows old he is turned sdrtft, but there
appears to be more real sentiment In
the Pittsburg club than In any other.
