1t is a fad with newspapers to get
professional men to write on sporting
subjects when some great sporting
event is on the tapis, and, as is often
the case, the sports are better ath-
letes than writer's. Christy Mathew
son, the premier pitcher of the Ma
tional league, reported the champion
ship series of ball games between the
New York Nationals and Philadelphia
Americans for the SpOkesman-Review
and an ordinary reporter would have
ground out more interesting stuff on
the games. Mathewson made one
break that baseballdom is extracting a
vast amount of amusement from. In
the second game of the series Mar
guard, second in reputation as a pitch
er only to Mathewson, pitched for the
New Yorks. He was charged by Math-
ewson's report with losing the game
by pitching straight ball that one OF
the Philadelphia players swatted for a
home run. Mathewson very sagely
and tediously criticized Vanguard for
pitching straight ball, and declared
it should have been a curve. The
very next day the Philadelphia won
again with Mathewson pitching. and
the very same player knocked out a
home run on a curved ball fed him by
Mathewson. 1t would seem that the
pitcher-reporter had decidedly got his
foot into it grinding out baseball dope,
and his judgment upon what man
can not hit in the way of pitched ball
will have little weight with fans in the
future. 1t will be a long time before
he hears the last of Marquard' S
straight delivery, and what happened
to his own twisters.

PIONEERS MEETING.

poet tells us dies up and perishes
for the want OF wit. yet in this case
he was either encroaching on the bor-
derland of humor, or he must have
concluded that the old Seattle spirit
had disappeared when he entertained
an idea that a single auditor would
throw any impeachment in the way OF
himself, or any other private or pub
lie individual, securing as reasonable
tolls as possible for the passage OF
ships through the Panama canal. The
completion of that water artery be-
tween the two great seas promises as
much, if not more, to Seattle as to
any other city on the Pacific seabOard,
and it would seem like vase OF
words, loss as to what to say. or an
effort to be jocular, to ask the people
of Seattle to aid in bringing about
what every individual resident is
hoping for, and upon which so much
of the future of the city depends. 1t
goes without the saying that Mr.. Poin-
dexter, or Mr. Anybody Else, has the
united and enthusiastic support OF the
whole people of Seattle in securing
cheap tolls. Working for cheap rates
through the canal will be an employ
ment that every member of congress
from the west will be engaged in, al
though one would be led to believe
from the way Poindexter took Seattle
into his confidence, and whispered into
the ears of it's people that he was with
them in this fight to the finish that
every other senator and representa-
tive on the coast was working tooth
and toenall to have the tolls placed at
a prohibitory figure. No doubt Poin-
dexter continued on his way home all
swelled up over the hit he made with
the Seattleites.

Nothing preventing, the following
program of divine services Will be OBJ
served at the Lutheran Church of the

II a. m.-The morning service. The
pastor will preach On the subject:
"Called Down" The words OF the text
are: "Zaccha Gus. make haste. and
come down; for today must abide at
thy house''-Luke 1875. This is one
of the pleasant little incidents that
took place while Jesus was making
his last Journey to Jerusalem. 1t IS
full of up-to-date and practical les
sons: For example, we see here some
Of the steps by which very unprom-
ising subject was brought into the
Kingdom of God-Zacchaeus was
publican. We see the many hindrances
to his salvation overcome, also many
evidences that he was truly converted.
The picture is touching and hopeful
one, showing that the vilest sinner
may come to God and be saved, if he
will.
8 o. ma service of song and pray
er with a sermon on the words:
Where Art Thou?" Gen. 3:9. There
are the words of God to a sinner who
was hiding among the trees Of tna
beautiful Garden. In this busy sinful
age God is as certainly calling man as
he called Adam in the long ago. 1t
is made plain in Gods word that our
salvation will depend upon how we
hear and answer the call. In the face
of present affairs, think it would bn

YES the question: "Where are W2?
There will be good music at both ser
vices.
The public is cordially invited to

REQUIRED TO SHOW CAUSE.
Supervisor to Make Return in Matter
of County Jail-Urged Delega.
ton to Provide Funds.

Upon the presentment of the grand
jury in regard to the condition of the
county jail, Solicitor Cooper request
ed the court that the supervisor be
notified to appear in court during this
term and to show cause why he has
not carried out the recommendations
of the grand jury at previous terms of
the court in regard to this matter.
The court stated that the motion
would be granted, and the supervisor
will be required to make a showing,
the general orders at the last term,
which the clerk of court stated he
served upon the supervisor, requiring
him to show cause why the recon-
mendations were not carried into ef-
feet.
1t will be recalled that during the
last session of the general assembly
the supervisor, the sheriff and the act
ing county physician wrote letters to
the Newberry delegation urging them
to provide a fund for this purpose.
The supervisor at that time said he
was powerless to do anything on &C
count of lack of funds, and the de-
plorable condition of the jail, both
from the standpoint Of security and
the standpoint of sanitation, was urg-
ed in the strongest terms.
The Supervisors Return.
Supervisor Feagle was called into
court on Thursday afternoon. After
comforting with the solicitor, Solicitor
Cooper made the following statement:
"The supervisor informs me that
he has not yet prepared formal re-
turn, but will do so. He says under
the law that all taxes levied in New
berry county are required to be ex-
pended only for the purposes for
which they are raised, and he has
asked for an appropriation to repair
the iail and has not got it. He says
he is anxious to do it, but has abso-
lutely no funds with which to do it..
+ think that would be a sufficient re-
turn"
Every good" said the court, ":.e
has no right to violate the law, Of
course"

CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO MEET.
Greenville. .Newberry. Columbia High.
way Committee to Meet in
Columbia.

Mr.. E. H. Aull, chairman of the GEN.
tral committee, appointed at a meet
ing held in NeWberry on the 10th of
this month to discuss plans and pro-
vide ways and means to build the
neutrality-suspicious. road,
has called a meeting of this commit
tee to be held in Columbia Friday al
ternoon, March "a, at the rooms OF
the chamber of commerce at 6 o'@ock.
Mr.. W. G. Shrine, the member OF
the committee from Greenville, Will
come to Newberry and join the party
at this point. The representative from
Laurens will bring the supervisor, Mr..
H. B. Humbert, and will either come
in car from Laurens, or will come
to Newberry and join the party. The
committees from Clinton, Kinards and
Goldville will attend also. The rep
resentatives from Prosperity and Lit
tie Mountain and Chaplin and Spring
Hill have also agreed to attend this
meeting, and it is hoped that the
member from Lexington and Super
visor Langford of that county, will
also come to Columbia.
The idea is to go to Columbia over
the dirt road in automobiles so that
the committee may see the condition
of the road and form some idea of
what will be necessary to put it in
good condition.
1t is expected to leave Newberry at
10 o'clock so as to make the trip leis-
urely and give time to inspect the
road.
. The meeting will be held by invita-
tion of Secretary Handy in the rooms
of the chamber Of commerce in Co.
lumbia at o'clock and it is hoped
to have a committee from the Auto
mobile association of Columbia to
meet with this central committee.
Supervisor Feagle, of Newberry, has
consented to go to the netting.
The committee is composed Of the
following: E. H. Aull, chairman; w.
G. Shrine, Greenville; H. K. Aiken,
Laurens; W. M. Mcmillan, Clinton;
Geo. Browning, Goldville; ]. A. Dom
mick, Kinards; I. H. Hunt, Newberry;
Geo. Y. Hunter, Prosperity; W. A.
Counts, Little Mountain; G, P, Robin:
son, Chapin; J. W. Eargle, Spring
Hill; J. B. Wingard, Lexington; A.
Mop. Handy, Columbia. ..
Of course, if it should rain, or the
weather be bad on Friday, the only
way to attend the meeting would be
by rail. If the trip can be made
through the country, it Is the pur-
pose of the committee to return via
Lexington and the new steel bridge to
Chaplin. This seems to be a much bet
ter road, and it is understood that the
Lexington supervisor is now putting
it in fine condition. The distance by
this road from NewDerry to Column
bia is only about 1-2 miles further
than by the Spring Hill route. f..
