DILLONITES ENJOYING OUTING

to Savage Party Enjoys Fish Fry
and is Most Hospitality Enter
Jained.
On last Thursday morning it was
the pleasure of Messrs NJ. A. Stubbs.
4. I. Elliott, w. T. Bethea, w. A.
Blizzard and S. w. Jackson to leave
Dillon in Mr.. Stubs high-powered
auto for a trip to Savage and re-
turn. The party went by Marion at
which point they arrived after an
hours run. After a short stop the
tourney was resumed, the party go
ing by way of Centenary and cross
ing the river at Allison's Ferry. At
ter an uneventful but very delight
full journey through an interesting
country the party arrived at the
home of Mr.. J. w. King, who until
recently was one of Dillon's most
substantial and public-spirited citi-
zens. One who has never visited
Savage and enjoyed the hospitality
OF Mr.. and Mrs. King might be at
loss to understand why they pre-
ferred their present home to Dill
on, but when one has inspected Mr..
Kings magnificent home, surround
ed by hundreds of acres in a fine
state Of cultivation, he Is convinced
that Mr.. Kings removal was but
anotner evidence of his fine busi-
ness judgment. In the afternoon
our genial host gave us an exhibi-
tion of shad fishing which resulted
In as fine a catch of the finny tribe
as it has been the pleasure of the
writer to see. The next day we
were taken for a ride over Mr..
Kings large plantation which is
without question one of the best
farms in this section of the State.
Domiciled in a magnificent country
home. equipped with all modern
conVeniences, and surrounded by
broad acres of fertile land, Mr..
King is enjoying the well-earned
fruits of his labors. Long may he
live and continue to enjoy that
peace of mind which comes from
consciousness of duty weiI-perform-
ed.
After a most delightful stay at
the hospitable home the party turn
ed their faces homeward, and with
in few hours were again in Dillon,
after enjoying one of the most de-
lightful outings in the history of
their lives. S. w. ].

Asks Support For the Chicks

The Evening Journals Sporting
Editor prints the following communal
cation with pleasure.
Sporting Editor, The Evening Journal.
Dear Sir,
The Tri-state baseball season Of
1911 Is gradually drawing to a close
and we have the pleasure Of seeing
but few more games until the cur
tain falls on a very poor season for
our local owners, Messrs. Cassidy and
Brown. Unfortunately they have had
a bad season financially. and I think
II Is up to the baseball fans to show
something in the way of appreciation
to those gentlemen for trying to give
US league ball. AS I understand II
they will be several thousand dollars
In the hole at the end of the season,
and but few people know this, as they
have not squealed Furthermore
see they intend to have a team in the
league next season and try It again,
which goes further to prove they are
genuine sports. So let's see If we
fans cannot turn out in large numbers
for the few remaining games and
oAc0 Coooid9 anu tolOWn lldt VIZ are
as good sports as they are.
I hope that conditions in the Tri-
state League will be somewhat chang
ed for the season of 1912, as / think
this is about the poorest season II has
ever had. I understand that one OF
their rules prohibits big league clubs
from farming out players to this lea
que. think this is bad rule as lots
Of players in this league would 60 TO
other leagues, which If we could get
them, would make this league much
faster.
also think that the Tri-state Lea
que should elect another president.
Mr.. Carpenter may be competent
man, but he apparently has his favor
ties and in league of this kind that
will not do.
Take the Reading team for in
stance, do you suppose that bunch
costs only $4,000 a month? Do you
suppose that Jube, Cannell and
Rudolph are playing for SITS q
month? Reading may not be paying
Evening journal., 1911-08-15

them more than that but in my
opinion some other club such as
Montreal. have them covered and pro-
badly are paying them twice as much
as Reading. Look at York, they may
be in the salary limit, but the last
time they played here Weigand hire
self played the first day In both games
and the next day was on the coaching
lines in uniform.
This makes seven PLAYERS. two
catchers, Mckinley and Carter, four
pitchers. Parson, Culp. Johnson and
Smith and himsef. or fourteen in all.
This is pretty good bunch of players
for $4,000 a month. II seems TO me
that York, Trenton and Reading must
stand in somewhere, as for myself,
would like to see George M. Graham,
of the North American, elected presi-
dent Of this league. He is a good
fellow and treats everybody alike so
understand, and l think he would be
a booster from the word "go" for the
Tri-state League.
Wilmington always gets the bum
end of everything as the case OF
catcher Frost Just lately signed by
York shows. Frost was released by
Baltimore and Cassidy was In COM
munication with him the next day,
and got his promise to report the next
Friday. He could not report for a
few days on account Of death IN the
family Yet, Weigand gets him
which goes to prove which way the
wind blows in the Tri-state League
as far as Wilmington is concerned.
Well, here is the best Of luck tc
Brown and Cassidy for next year. and
hope they have learned the ropes
this year and will be "up to SNUFF
next year and get the receipt for get
ting star players at s175 a month
One word more to the knockers. DOM

His only trouble is that he is too easy

San Antonio, Texas.-General Der. nardo Reyes, commander in chief of the Mexican army during the regime of President Diaz, temporarily resid. ing in San Antonio because, he said, he considered his life was not safe in the Southern Republic, was arrested by a United States marshal on an in dictment returned by the Federal Grand Jury in Laredo charged with eonspiring against friendly govern ment General Reyes waived exami- nation and made bond of S5,000 to in sure his presence before United States Commissioner Edward.
 The arrest of General Reyes, who was named with several others as in yolved in an alleged plot against the Mexican Government. comes as a climax to rumors of an impending rev. olution, which have been heard for several weeks. Prominent followers of President Madero in Mexico, who are in San Antonio, fiatly charged that General Reyes was arranging an up rising from this side of the border.
 The General describes his arrest as ridiculous.

Sheriff of this county, and the private secretary of General Reyes are those named in the indictments
 Reyista organizations have been dis covered in Eagle Pass, Brownsville and other towns, and the arrest Of Reyes on the charge of violating the neutrality laws will have no direct ef feet upon the revolution.

New York-Willism J. Cummins. formerly chairman of the Executive Committee of the Carnegie Trust Com. pany and promoter and an official of several large Southern corporations. in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court, was convicted of having stolen $40. 900 belonging to the Nineteenth Ward Bank. Dazed by the misfortune that had oyertaken him when he was building confidently on an acQuittal. the financier was taken to the Sheriffs s pen on the ground floor of the Crimi- nal Courts building There he broke down and seemed overwhelmed by the thought that although first offender he might be sent, if the court were so disposed, to prison for an indetermin- ate term of from five to ten years. He found comfort. however. in the thought that the minimum sentence is in the discretion of the court. Cum mins sat in the Sheriff's pen with his head in his hands and his chest and shoulders racked by sobs. Tears trick led between his fingers and dropped to the floor.
 The fight is just beginning!" Cum mins exclaimed. starting to his feet when he realized he was in the pres ence of newspaper men. He chewed savagely on the end of an unlighted cigar. and continued: 'I feel that l have done nothing wrong. l am con fdent that if were confronted with the same circumstances again would do the same thing. It is not of myself l am thinking, There are others.
 He returned to his chair, seated himself, put his head between his hands and resumed his violent sob ping Many questions were put to him relative to what he will do in an eff fort to upset the verdict He replied to none of them, being completely un- nerved By direction of Justice Davis, who tried the case, the prisoner was removed to the Tomhs and locked up.
 Cummins case will undoubtedly be appealed, but unless he. too. gets a certificate of reasonable doubt, he will have to go to prison while the appeal is being argued His trial began on October IT.
