1t must be said of John I. Taylor. the
youthful owner of the Boston Americans,
that he has made few mistakes in max
ing changes in his team. There was a
howl went up when he let out Cy Young.
Lou Criger, Jimmy Collins and a batch
of the veterans who had won pennants
for his club, and yet it was subsequently
proven that no mistake was made In TAX
ing this step.
But time alone will tell whether Taylor
will recover from the loss of Lord and
Stahl The former he traded together
with Mcconnell. a valuable man, and
the latter retired from the game. No
matter what may be said of Lord, he is
undoubtedly the best third baseman in
this league. all things considered, and
there was but one man in the league
who had anything on Stahl, and that
was Chase.
On form 1t would seem that the Red
Sox have been greatly weakened since
last spring. Everything indicates that
the team will have hard time making
as good showing as 1t did last year. 1t
win be no easy matter to fill the holes
left by Lord and Stahl. and their alb
sence may show that for once the Boston
magnate has made a mistake.
Ban Johnson is responsible for the story
that Jake Stahl would not have quit the
game had 1t been possible for Comiskey
to make a trade for him. Jake would
have been willing to play with Chicago,
q berth which would give him more time
TO spend at home. But Taylor, having
made the Lord deal. did not feel that he
should do anything further to better the
White Sox, and therefore would not give
an ear to the overtures Comiskey made
him for Stahl, and Stahfs retirement fol-
lowed. Stahl would have made a great
man for the Sox, for he iS what that team
needs-a cleanup hitter.
Reports from Hot Springs are to the
effect that the Pirates will cut a much
bigger figure in the National League race
this season than they did last. This pre-
diction Is based on the fact that that
grand old trio. Clarke, Wagner and
Leach. appears to be in better condition
this year than at any time last spring.
Hans is said to be twenty pounds lighter
than last year and is full Of spirit and
dash. while Clarke and Leach are hitting
as of yore.
The trouble with Pittsburg last season
was that the team started out over
confident. Having won the worlds series
seemed to have turned the heads Of sew
eral OF the players and. aside from show
ing an occasional squirt, the team played
poor ball.
These same players are anxious to come
back. and, according to their showing in
practice, 1t is not at all unlikely that
they will.

have chance to become a National, has

Postmaster General Finds Railway
Mail Conditions Unsatisfactory.

Washington, Feb. "A condition
of ineficiency, insubordination and
mismanagement has developed in the

Hygiene That Failed.

"They say that the reaction and
afterglow of cold morning baths are
an infallible cure for neuralgia
said Mr.. Shivers.
"Cold water, right out of the tap?"
crieL Mrs. Shivers.
Mr.. Shivers smiled a superior
smile.
"It is not one freezing plunge, but
a gradual immersion, while you slow
ly count six. Like this: One, and
you put in one foot; two, you put in
the other; three, you sink on one
knee; four, you kneel on both; five,
you plunge In your arms; six you
immerse your body. Yes, shall GER
tainly try it tomorrow morning"
Slowly and reluctantly at the ap-
pointed time Mr.. Shivers crept from
his warm bed, silently casting look
of reproach on his smiling spouse,
and into the bathroom, and after a
time she heard him say:
"O-o-onne! Ouch! Oh! T-w-o-o.
Ow, ow, ow, ow! Th-th-th-three!"
followed by a bloodcurdling yell and
tremendous splash. Then there was
succession of agonized yells, and
what Mrs. Shivers at first took for
streak of lightning flashed out Of the
bathroom, plunged into bed and roll
ed itself tightly up in the sheets.
"Why, Jeremiah!" gasped Mrs.
Shivers.
Mr.. Shivers simply glared and
shivered. "Woman!" he roared,

ing teeth, "did you put that lump Of

HOLLAND AT DEATHS DOOR.
Likely to Prove Second Victim of
Greenville Tragedy.

Greenville, Feb. 6.-Lee Holland,
intendant of the village Of Mauldin,
who was desperately wounded on
the highway between that town and
Greenville on Saturday night by
Robert McAbee, of Enoree, whom he
shot and killed in an attempt to ar
rest, is but a few hours removed
from death.
Since Holland was shot it had been
feared that the wound would prove
mortal, but this morning he seemed
to be somewhat better. A turn for
the worse, however, took place in
the day, and it seems that death will
ensue within a short time.
The latest developments in the
tragic drama of Saturday night is
that the McAbees engaged in yet an
other pistol bout short while before
the old man met his death at Hol-
lands hands. Furman Turner to-
day swore out a warrant for Will
McAbee, the dead mans son now in
the county Jail, charging him with
assault with intent to kill. The de-
ponent alleges that he met the Nc
Abees in the road just before they
reached Laurel creek bridge, the
point where the men discovered + -.
they had taken the wrong road a,-i
turned to retrace their way, and
that when he failed to produce whis-
key, which he, says they demanded
of him, they opened fire on him.
A second warrant charging assault
with intent to kill has been issued
against the young man in prison.
Arnold Thomason, who had pistol
duel with Robert McAbee before he
reached Mauldin, is the deponent in
the latter action.

BLEASEON SPECIAL JUDGES
GOVERNOR STATES HIS POSITION
IN SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Gives Construction of Constitution,
mot Making Particular Effort
to Please Other Crowd"

Columbia, February 7.-Smack-
ing of the recent differences between
the Governor and the Supreme Court,
a message sent to the Senate and
House to-day and referred to tie
judiciary committee of the two
branches, gives Governor Blease's
construction of the Constitution as
to the appointment of special Judges
and recommends that some legisla-
ton be enacted to clarity the situ-
alton.
In the course of the message Gov
ernor Blease remarks: Il am satis-
fed that I am pleasing those who
placed me in this high and honorable
position and l am. not making any
particular effort to please the other
crowd"
Believes it Unconstitutional.
Governor Blease's conclusion is
that Section 2,743 of the Code is un-
constitutional, insofar as it provides
that land in the event that there be
no other Circuit Judge disengaged
then the Governor, upon the recon-
;mendation of the Supreme Court or
the Chief Justice thereof, if the Su-
preme Court be not in session, shall
Immediately commission as special
Judge such person learned in the law
as shall be recommended to hold
Courts of such circuit or to hold
such special Court for that term
only"
The governor holds that he only
has the power to appoint special
judges, and in closing his message
says:
81 hope you will refer this matter
to the judiciary committee of your
respective bodies, and that you will
take the matter under consideration
and decide it, not upon what their
political views are towards the chief
executive of the State, or what their
personal feelings are towards the
Supreme Court of the State, but
upon the law, and give such a decis-
ion as the Courts will sustain; and
if they feel that my position is cor
rect that they will at once recon-
mend a bill clearing up the situa-
tion by repeating Section 2,743 of
the Code, or so much thereof as is in
conflict with the judicial, legislative
or other departments of our govern
ment. am endeavoring to do my
duty as chief executive, and from the
many letters received and the per-
sonal remarks which are made to
me, 1 am satisfied that 1 am pleasing
those who placed me in this high
and honorable position, and I am
not making any particular efforts to
please the other crowd, for when the
time comes I am ready and willing
to go back on the forum and meet
all comers, as I have done in the
past, in regard to my course, and
feel satisfied that the majority will
sustain my positions. If not, shall
have no tears to shed.''

PAID THE FINES.
Governor RENTS Jail Sentences OF
Abbott and Dearman.

Remitting the jail sentences in the
cases of Ed. Abbott and Frank Dear
man, Governor Blease last monday
acted in these well known cases. Alb
bott and Dearman plead guilty to
gambling in Spartanburg in 1907 and
were each sentenced to pay fine of
$50 and serve year on the public
works of Spartanburg county.
The statement came from the gov
ernor's Office that "they paid their
fines and the governor has relieved
them of their sentences"
Abbott and Dearman pleaded gull
ty to the charge of gambling in July,
1907, and were sentenced by Judge
r. o. Purdy to pay fine of $50 and
serve a year on the public works.
The chaingang sentence, however,
however, was suspended during good
behavior.
In July 1910, Abbott and Dearman
were caught in gambling raid at
the Oregon hotel in Spartanburg and
were fined in the police court and,
later, upon a warrant sworn out by
representatives of the law and order
league, were taken before Judge w.
B. Gruber to show cause why the SEN
tence of one year on the chaingang,
suspended by Judge Purdy during
their good behavior, should not be
enforced.
Judge Gruber decided the case
against Dearman and Abbott, direct
ing that they serve the sentence OF
year on the public works.
From Judge Gruber's decision an
appeal was taken to the supreme
court, Solicitor Otis appearing for
the State. Last week the supreme
court sustained the lower court, di-
recting that they serve the sentence.
When news of the courts decision
reached Spartanburg Abbott and
Dearman got busy with petition for
a remission of the jail sentence. This
was freely signed, it is said, and was
presented to Gov. Bleasc Sunday by
S. J. Nichols, of Spartanburg.
