Without answering Rutton turned
the box over in his palm, his slender

- There was only a small crowd out
to witness a game Of baseball between
Yorkville and Hickory Grove on the
graded school grounds last Friday af-
ternoon. Early In the game the score
was to 0 against Yorkville and the
outlook was quite blue: but later the
Yorkville boys pulled themselves to-
gether and the game went along quite
evenly until the seventh inning when
men from the bases and went to third
himself. At the wind up the score
stood 10 to 8 in favor Of Yorkville.
Yorkville having still another round
at the bat to its credit.
Quite a serious accident as the re-
suit Of which young Guy Justus of
Hickory Grove had a close call for
his life, occurred during the game of
baseball between Hickory Grove and
Yorkville on the Yorkville grounds
last Friday afternoon. Justus was at
the bat and Dale was pitching. Dale
by the way Is a good pitcher, with
lots of steam and a good deal of
knowledge Of the science Of the game.
He threw one that looked as IL 1t was
going to be BALI and as Justus
stopped toward the base to let it go
by, 1t struck him a glancing blow on
the back of the head. The young man
sank down without a sound, and al
though cold water was poured on him
as soon as possible, it was several
minutes before there were any satis-
factory signs Of returning conscious
ness. The young man slowly came to,
however. and the game was continued
with a substitute. It was more than
half an hour before young Justus was
sufficiently recovered 20 admit Of his
being removed from the grounds. Mrs.
r. B. Lowry and other ladies insisted
on taking care Of the young man un-
I'll NEXT day or until he should be suf-
fciently recovered to enable him to
get home comfortably; but he and his
brother preferred to make the jour-
ney to Hickory Grove that night and
were taken home in an automobile.
Young Justus had rough time Of 1t
during Friday night and a part of
Saturday: but information yesterday
was to the effect that he was getting
along nicely and would pull through
the rather rough experience without
serious consequences

THE FIELDER REoUIsITIoN.
What an Atlanta Paper Thinks of the
Proceedings Before Gov. Brown.

Gov. Brown of Georgia has alb
ruptly rung down the curtain on that
| interstate farce-the Fielder requisi-
tion-staged by Gov. Blease of South
| Carolina.
The people of Georgia, and un-
doubtedly a large number Of the best
people of South Carolina, commend
Gov. Brown for his prompt squelching
of Gov. Blease's attempted use Of his
| office and the processes of his state
to njure a private enemy-for his act
can be interpreted in no other way.
Thomas B. Fielder, one Of the ablest
and most highly esteemed members of
the Atlanta bar, was employed by the
state of South Carolina to wind up the
affairs of the old dispensary commits
sion of that state. He and his firm Of
| lawyers were instrumental in saving
the state half a million dollars from
| the graft soaked wreck. Gov. Blease,
then a state senator according to the
allegations of Mr.. Fielder, represented
the opposition and was implicated in
the graft.
And now, six years after the offense
is alleged to have been committed, and
when Mr.. Blease has come to occupy
the governors chair of South Carolina,
| to the disgust of the best element Of
that state and the amazement Of other
states that South Carolina would coun-
tenance such a man, he sends over a
vague, misty and mysterious affidavit
charging Mr. Fielder with attempting
to bribe a member of the board of con-
troll, of the dispensary commission, and
on that showing demands of Gov
Brown that he send Mr.. Fielder back to
South Carolina under arrest.
Mr.. Felder's answer to the charge
was an indignant denial and a coun-
ter charge that Gov. Blease was acting
through personal malice to hide his
own wrongdoings.
Mr. Fielder was supported by the At
lanta Bar association and distinguish
ed lawyers from Knoxville, Tenn, and
from Macon, Columbus, Savannah,
Augusta, Forsythe and by ex-Con-
gresham George Johnstone of New
berry, S. c., Gov. Blease's home town.
Mr. Johnstone delivered an earnest
speech in Mr.. Felders defense and in
testimony of his high character and
to the services rendered by him in the
dispensary case.
1t was also shown that the grand
jury of the county in which the Of
fense was alleged to have been COM
mitted never in all the six years re-
ceived any information of it from Gov.
Blease or any one else, had never TAX
Ell any action on it, and, in fact, had
met and adjourned since the requisi-
tiOn was sworn out and found no in
dictment.
Mr. Felder's vindicatiOn was full and
complete. and South Cardinals fren-
zied governor received a sharp and de-
served rebuke.-Atlanta Georgian.
