the national convention as a delegate
at large, but he stays at home as one
of the real fighting men on the Jones
firing line" Mr.. Browning must have
a very strong political constitution if
he is able just now to do much fight
ing after being so severely mashed by
the Jones steam roller in the State
convention. Why, MI Browning got
only TWO more votes than the COVER
nor. and he then refused to allow his
name TO be voted upon for alternate
when it was placed in nomination by
Mr.. Parker. Mr. Browning, chairman
of the ways and means committee Of
the house, one of the anti-Blease floor
leaders, whose candidacy for delegate
at large had been widely heralded, was
slaughtered in the house of his
friends.
Mr. Browning, however, went into
the convention with the chances
against him. That very morning the
Columbia State had printed nifty
little editorial in which it was stated
that eff the editor of the State we're in
the conention Mr. Browning would
get his vote, but as Mr.. Browning is
an advocate of Judge Harmon" etc.,
the editor of the State would first ex-
pect the delegates to be instructed for
Wilson. Mr.. Browning could hardly
have expected to win when he was
Handicapped by the personal endorse
ment of the editor of the Columbia
State
We like Mr.. Browning personally,
and we regard him as capable man.
He has our sympathy-frst, because
he had the backing of the Columbia
State, and, secondly, because the
steam roller, engineered by his friends.

TIGERS ON STRIKE
in COBB'S CAUSE
SUSPENSION OF COBB CAUSES A
SENSATION.
Detroit Americans Refuse to Play
Without PeacIl-PIan to Stand
Together.

Philadelphia, May lS-Baseball his
tory was made here today when the
players Of the Detroit American league
club went on strike and refused to
play the schedule game with the
Philadelphia Athletics because Pan
Johnson, president Of the league, naQ
refused to lift the suspension ne had
placed against Ty Cobb fer striking
spectator in New York, who, il is al
legged used insulting language towards
Cobb during the game AS a conse-
quence the Philadelphia team defeat
ed makeshift team played in the field
by Manager Jennings by a score Of
"a to 2.
The regular Detroit players vent to
the ball park but when, after a short
practice, they learned that Cobb would
not be permitted to play, they return
ed to a hotel in the centre of the city.
While the game was being playal they
discussed the situation and eve one
of them, questioned, said t:ey fe,,t
''the suspension of Cobb was an out
rage and that they would stand to-
gether.'
The players expressed the best of
feeling towards the owners of the
Detroit club, but we're outspoken in
their criticisms of Mr.. Johnson. They
said that if the matted is not settled
they may go on a Transforming
trip"
Connie Mack, manager of the Phil
adelphia Americans, said tonight that
Detroit had placed team in the field,
according to the rules, and therefore
he had played the game and won. He
would not comment further.

WASHINGTON INTERESTED.
Little Else Discussed Beside Suspen.
sion of Ty Cobb.

Washington, May 13.-Little else
was discussed around the capitol to-
day, but the suspension of Ty Cobb
of the Detroit baseball club for his
mixup with a spectator in New York
day or two, ago. Grave senators
and house members lost interest in the
question of whether or not tolls should
be charged for ships using the Pan
anna canal, the effect of the Bristow
amendment to the popular election of
senators, tariff schedules and other
matters that ordinarily absorb the
minds of the national lawmakers 1t
was all Ty Cobb. There was nothing
else to it. Many members of both
houses left their places and went to
the American league park, where they
might discuss the most interesting
question, which has ever arisen in or
ganized baseball with their neighbors,
the fans.
The Georgia delegation in congress,
including both Senators Hoke Smith
and Augustus O. Bacon, wired their
confidence to Cobb and assured him
that they not only believed him JUS
tilted in chastising the man said to
have been guilty of applying a vile
epithet to him, but commended his
stand and pledged their loyal support
If Cobb comes to Washington with
the Detroit team next Tuesday, when
that club is due here, he will probably
receive the biggest ovation ever given
ball player in Washington.

The Idler.

Sir Thomas Upton relates the fol-
lowing experience of his own:
when 1 was starting in business
was very poor and needed every penny
I could earn to enlarge my little busi-
ness. I had lad of fourteen as as
sistant. One Monday morning the
boy came in with very mournful eX-
preston. I asked him what the trou-
BILE was, and he said:
"I have not clothes fit to wear to
church, sir. I can't get new suit, be-
cause my father is dead and I have to
help my mother pay the rent
"I thought it over and finally took
enough money from my hard-earned
savings to buy the lad good, warm
suit of clothes, with which he was de-
lighted.
''The next day he did not come to
work, nor the next; and when three
days had gone by and had heard
nothing from him, went to his home
to find out what had become of him.
"'Well, you see, sir, said the moth
er of the boy, Robert looks so respec-
table in his new suit, thanks to you,
sir, that we thought he had better
look around town and see if he could
MT get better job '"-Everybody's

gusta and Northern? 1t is proposed
to take the second trip over the C. C.

UPPER NEWBERRY.

We travelled about twenty-five miles
in buggy through No, township on
last Tuesday. We found the public
roads in a much better condition than
we expected, though far from what
they should be. In some places where
they had been dragged, they were in
a much better condition than where
the drag had not been used.
The supervisors attention should
be called to that stretch of road be-
tween the residence of Mr.. L. H. Sem
and the Mudlic school house. There
is large, deep ditch on either side Of
this road, and there is scarcely room
left for one vehicle to pass without
dropping into the ditch. If something
is not done this road will have to be
abandoned or a new one made in a
very short time.
1t was through the kindness and
courtesy Of Mr.. L. H. Sem that we
were able to make this trip, and he
very kindly gave the whole day to US,
and we visited Chappells school,
Vaughnville school, and Mudlic school
This section of the county has some
very fine farms in it, some of the most
fertile land in Newberry county,

I walked down street the other day.
and my, how they are putting down
brick pavement I was wondering why
arrangements are not made to have the
whole of the public square paved
while at it, and cut off that little park
in front of the old court house and
make one in the rear of the building,
and it would not cost very much to
put it down and while We are at it.
What an improvement it would be, and
the little parks that could be made in
this way would add so much to the
beauty and attractiveness of the city,
and then it would save cost in paving.
To run this street through and leave
all this vacant ground has the appear
ance that we are trying to do some
thing and couldn't.

On Wednesday evening, We attended
the closing exercises of Miss Dollie
CIeland's school at Dominick. There
was the largest crowd present that We
have ever seen at country school,
especially when the exercises were
held at night and the weather theaten-
ing. The best of order prevailed,
however, during the entire evening,
and great interest was manifested on
the part of the patrons, and the chill
dren gave as creditable an exhibition,
taking it all the way through, as we
have ever seen. Another has promised
to write an account of the closing ex-
ercises and we hope to be able to pub
lish it in Fridays issue.

that is, if they happen to be against
