BASE BALL.

Is Rock Hill going to have team
in the league? A good ball team Is
one sipn of good town.
In Washington this month there Is
to be pulled off a baseball game be-
tween teams representing the Demo-
cratic and Republican sides of the
house. CONGRESSMAN E. Yates Webb OF
Shelby is to head the Democratic team
and Congressman Longworth Is to be
the speaker for the Republicans, and
don't think for minute that the Dem
ocratic team is going to lose. unless
Mr.. Webb has forgotten all he ever
knew about the game. Along about
1888 or 1889, Yorkville had a pretty
good ball team and among other Wis
iting teams Shelby came down for a
session. Webb was one Of the play
ers and nlayed his position we'll. The
following morning a big crowd OF
Yorkville people went to Shelby on
an excursion train and among the
features of the days entertainment
was the graduating exercises of the
Shelby school, then in charge of Cap
tain Bell. Among the graduates was
Yates Webb and he was on the pro-
gramme for a defamation. But he
wasn't worried about that-he was
thinking more about the ball game
that afternoon. He delivered his ora
ton and marched out Of the building
and on to the ball field and did his
best in helping to hold the Yorkville
team down. But the game wasn't fin
ished. 1t was called on account Of
the ball being lost. Ed K. McClain,
formerly of Yorkville, now living in
Texas, had hit the ball so hard that it
dropped somewhere in Lincoln county
and hasn't been found yet. Oh, yes,
Mr.. Webb can play ball.

verse the conditions, and consequent
ly the seed were put in the ground very
shallow. After the planting was COM
pleted the dry weather continued for
so long that there was not sufficient
moisture in the ground to cause ger
mination of the seed and the result
has been poor stands again. In some
specific instances there are farmers
who planted the seed deep and these
have fairly good stands. However,
these are only theories.
A visitor to the LESLIE section OF
the county, reports that crops in that
vicinity are In much better shape than
in some other portions Of the county.
A rain of three or four days dura-
ton will bring the grass with rush
and unless the farmers having large
cotton and corn acreage are fortunate
enough to have sufficient labor with
which to fight the grass, there are lots
of them who will have hard tussle to
win out.
The farmers Of the county who SOW
ed wheat last fall, are in good spirits
over the prosDects. Wheat generally
is better than 1t has been in years, but
still it would have been better had 1t
gotten a little more rain. Oats gen.
orally, and especially spring oats, are
poor.

THE RAIN.

After all the weather prophets of
the town and country had been read
ing the "signs" and confidently pre-
dieting rain this afternoon" and ito
morrow" the rain arrived Wednes-
day afternoon, after all the signs save
one, the actual rain, had failed.
All sections Of the county badly
needed the rain. The crops generally
were in sorry plight, and in not a
few instances the running streams
were getting below normal in volume.
People In Yorkville yesterday from
different parts Of the county all report
good rains in their neighborhoods
Wednesday afternoon and night and
Thursday morning and at this writing
there are good prospects for still more
rain. Many are Of opinion that it will
take three or four days Of good show
ers before the earth Is wet enough,
but Of course they will have to be
satisfied with what they get-whether
too much or too little
Farmers and merchants generally
carried pretty good smiles yesterday.

eE over in claimed effort to avert
the failure of the New York Broker
age company of Moore & Schley, and
consequent disastrous results in the
banking world. You have no idea, "
he said, "of the financial frenzy which
possessed New York in that panic. 1t
would have been very easy for that
panic to have gone beyond all bounds
and affected the entire country. Every
night during that time forty or fifty
leading bankers of New York were
gathered in Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan's
library discussing the grievous stu
alton, striving as best they could to
give support to the weaker banks and
prevent spread of the panic. From
day to day these men did not know
what bank would next be attacked by
a run. Any man interested in the
banks of New York at that time would
no more think Of doing anything to
iniure any one of them than one Of us
would think of throwing lighted
match into a powder magazine near
us. He could not injure another bank
without injuring himself, and any de-
cent man with sense enough to protect
his own interests would not intention
ally do anything to injure another"
This declaration was made after Mr..
Gary had been asked for details relat-
ing to his conference with Mr.. Morgan
regarding the Tennessee company.

ABOUT THE CROPS.

Mr.. w. NJ. McCarter of Glover No. 1.
said yesterday that he believes that
one reason for poor stands of cotton
i'm many places, is the fact that cotton
seed were too high last year. This
had a tendency to cause seed owners
to sell their seed and they sold so
many that i'm some instances there
was not enough seed put in the ground
to insure a stand except under the
most favorable circumstances. Mr..
McCarter says that several of his
neighbors have good stands, while 9TH
ers are not so fortunate. His stand
of corn is good and it looks well.
Another theory advanced by close
observers, as to the poor stands, is like
this: Last year, it will be remember
ed, it was quite cool about planting
time and many farmers planted their
cotton so deep that much of it failed
to come up and many acres were re-
planted before stand was secured.
This year they thought they would re-

Columbia, June 6: That Hub"
Evans will not be tried at the ap-
preaching term Of court In Newberry
is the definite information secured
here tonight. Stories out of Newberry
were to the effect that Evans may not
be tried but the information secured
by this corresp. .-ldent Is the first au-
thorized statement that the case of the
former chairman of the dispensary
board will not be concluded at this
term of the court of general sessions
for Newberry. Evans Is under indict-
ment, charged with accepting rebates
while he was a member Of the board,
the indictment was handed out last
summer. 1t is learned that the state
will not go to trial in this case. A
continuance will be sought. One OF
the grounds will be the allegation that
the death of G. H. Charles has changed
the complexion of the case and the
state cannot go to trial at this time.
Attorney General Lyon was asked
about the matter this afternoon: He
had no statement to make for publica-
