WALTER JOHNSON
GETS ULTIMATUM
President Noyes Not Inclined to Meet Salary Demand,
With Washington Pitcher Already Highest Paid
in American League
By SENATOR"

ATLANTA, Ga, March 15.-Thc Wash
ington Clubs ultimatum has been de-
livered to Walter johnson.
President Tom Moves had intended to
start back home today, but he has de-
cided to postpone his departure until to-
morrow in the hope that the pitcher
will reconsider his stand on the matter
of salary. Johnson has made demand
for a salary which Moves thinks is un-
reasonable, and, while he has told the
pitcher he is willing TO compromise, the
indications are that the president of the
club is determined on the matter of not
coming up to Johnson's ngures under
any consideration.
>McAleerS Attitude.
Jimmy McAlecr is leaving the dispute
largely to the PLAYER and president, but
he said at noon that if the compromise
is effected Johnson will still be the
highest salaried pitcher in the American
League.
This afternoon MCAlcer received word
from Jack Somerlott that he will be at
Atlanta within a week. He wired that
his eyes are still infamed. but he is
hopeful of getting into shape to put up
q battle for first base.
Kahoe to Make Trip.
Mike Kahoe. the Nationals scout. is
today preparing to make a trip on the
lookout for possible stars of the dia-
mOnd.
He declines to tell where nc Will roam,
for that might defeat his purpose in
digging up some players to become
brilliant one for the big league circuit.
'TH probably go before the week is
out" says Mike. I'm take a good look
around, sort OF investigating the pos
sibilities. 7 don't know how things look,
hut may pick up one or two promising
players for the team. The only way to
know them is to see them. No. can't
tell where I'm going. That would never
do"
Elberfeld Back Today.
Kid Elbcrfeld is expected back from
Chattanooga today. He has spent two
days in training camps, and is expected
TO know something about some young
players. ElberfcId. owing to his long
experience on the diamond. is expected
to do considerable scouting this season
for Manager MCAicer. Between him and
Nine Kahoe a fast bunch of youngsters
will report to the Nationals before the
close of the season.

He will most likely remain in the squad.
The only other rookie to come any
where near Corbin is Warren Miller.
Miller has been with the team three
times. and looks better this year than
ever before. He is a clean fielder, and
usually hits we'll. Yesterday. however,
he had an off day with the willow.

Groom, a weak sticker. Bob was in the
hole when he popped up d high one to
Conway, the rookie shOrtstop with the
sausage. Conways glove had been
rubbed with lard, for the ball slid out
Of It as Henry slid into the plate and
everybody went home for dinner.
John Henry was again the bright scIn-
tillating star of the battle, and Manager
McAleer is thinking seriously of using
the lad on the first corner. If John
Somerlott fails to land on the team this
season it's a safe bet that John Henry
will. Somerlott wired McAleer yester-
day that his eyes would keep him from
reporting for a week or ten days longer

ANECDOTES
OF LINCOLN,

You have heard many stories abont
the coed Abraham Lincoln. vino -
CARO- the president uf his country. And
no; only that. He gained natiou' :
love AID venrraiion by the nobility Df
his character and IN" kimdiincSS of his
every deed. The povcrty of his early
surroundings gave the greater luStrr
- his magnificent achievements.
Ii is interesting to learn how he first
"ame to read and write and how h.,
first utilized these accomplishments
In his home there were but three
books-the Bible. the catechism and Il
spelling book. SO greatly did he grieve
over his dear mothers death that hls
father at great trouble secured him n
volume Of Bunyan's "Pilgrims Pro%-
resS." which he read and reread. hard
ly taking time to eat or sleep.
Next he received "Aesops Fables"
as a gift. and he quickly learned many
of them by heart.
Then there moved into that remot ,
Indiana clearing young man who
could write This young man offered
10 teach Abe. The eager boy could
hardly wait. He made rapid improve
ment and was presently covering ev-
cry possible surface with letters which
he traced with a bit Of chalk or &
charred stick. In less than year he
could write letter.
And he did write one.
He wrote it to the clergyman they
had known in Kentucky. He asked
him to come and preach funeral ser.
mon over the grave of his mother, as
there had only been a prayer at the
time of her burial.
In answer came the minister; also
people TO hear him from miles around.
This esta blished little Abe as let
ter writer. His father was very proud
Of his attainments After this he be-
came the neighborhood letter writer.
Old men who perhaps had written be-
fore their hands had become shaky
utilized his talents. So did younger
ones.
And the same hand that wrote these
childish letters. after many long. strug-
Cling. serious years, by stroke Of a
pen freed a whole race for all time
to come"

A NOTABLE EoCCASI0N--AN ELAB-
ORATE AND BEAUTIFUL PRO-

i4AO~S AAANNiNSSAtt- s<A-N'
tertainments ever presented in East
ern South Carolina beganlast Thurs
day with the opening of the Scran-
ton Graded school commencement
exercises.
The little town of Scranton has
been for many years in Williamsburg
county. but about one year ago the
good people of this town and sur
rounding community decided that
they would cast their lot with
Florence county. Accordingly, at
the last General Assembly, Scranton,
with the adjoining territory, was
annexed to Florence. We are proud
of the fact, however, that We have
something besides history.
Located as we are in the center Of
the great cotton and tobacco belt,
it is said that more tobacco is grown
in this immediate section of South
Carolina than in any other part of
the State, and in a great many re-
spects our little town is making
progress by great leaps and bounds,
and more especially from an educa-
tional standpoint.
Our handsome school building was
erected about three years ago by
the citizens of the town and imme-
diate community. During the ses-
sion just closed the school has been
in charge of Supt NJ H Anderson of
Timmonsville, Miss Irene Dawson of
Charleston and Miss Bessie Felkel of
Elloree. The exercises of both Thurs
day and Friday nights bear ample
testimony to the excellence of their
work this year. They are all held
in high esteem by the people of the
entire community, as was well shown
on the occasion referred to. There
were fully one thousand people pres
ent and all said they were well re-
paid in the excellent entertainment
that was given.
The following programme was
carried out:
