winning games for Washington. 1t

CTIARL RLOTTESVILLlI, Va, March IS
Manager Clark Griffith, "old fox" that
he is, has mapped out plan of opera
tlons which ne thinks will win many
ball games this season for the Nationals
on the Florida avenue diamond, and will
go far. toward killing the well-known
theory that a ball club cannot wear a
Washington uniform and finish higher
than sixth in the American League.
"Washington has never had a club
finish higher than SIXTH" says Man
agcr Griffith. and it is generally an
n"unce1 before the season starts that
the team will be a failure. Several rea-
sons can b. offered for the failure of
Washington ball clubs of the past.
~Most Washington clubs have been
overloaded with old, almost useless
players One of the theories of making
a ball club is getting some veteran for
some particular work. hoping thus to
weld a machine capable of going down
the line winner. Pushed to the eX-
treme AMI you have a ball club top
heavy with slow veterans and the
modern. up-to-date ball club. with its
speedy young players, simply runs away
from you. that's all.

way Connie Mack and Johnny McGraw "
have done. and all three have won PEN
nants.
Calls for Speed.
youngsters on a ball club call for
speed every minute in the opposition,
and Washington is the most difficult
city in the big leagues to show speed
during a short stay of four days, such
as the visiting clubs have in every
series played there. A ball player COM

Both are expert drivers at the present

public office, we feel sure that If the
editor of the Spartanburg Herald
would get out and mingle with the
people a little, he would find that
there are still some South Carolinians
who are decent and honest and law
abiding, and it is possible that in so
doing his present narrow vision would
be broadened and he would realize
how very small part of the State is
his editorial sanctum. Greater breadth
of vision is what he sadly needs. The
best way to begin is by giving others
credit for little decency and a little
public morality. After all, the attor-
new general and few others, includ-
ing the editor of the Spartanburg Her
aid, could hardly be the sole owners
of all these desirable qualities. At
least, that is the way we feel about it

comport themselves in an unladylike
manner.
Any report to the contrary is a re-
Election upon the young women of Win
throp, which should not go unchal-
lenged. Reports rejecting upon their
good breeding should not be circulated
unless they are accompanied with the
indisputable proof-and if there should
be this kind of proof-which we will
not believe without the proof itself
it were better for the State that such
were reports were hidden from the
light of day.
In the name of the young women of
South Carolina, such reports should
be resented.
We are surprised at the Charlotte

The Greepville Piedmont is worried
because Governor Blease has offered
5000 of the States money for the ar
rest of Fielder, and that has set the
Greenwood Daily Journal to worrying
also. "Of course the Piedmont is
right" says the Journal Of course
the Journal thinks so, and Of course
the Journal is infallible in its moral
and legal distinctions between right
and wrong. The Journal is the most
infallible-if infallible can be compar-
ed-of all the infallible newspapers
we have ever seen, and the Piedmont
is a close second. In the meantime,
the lamentations of these newspapers
fill the June days. But the world rolls
merrily along. Isn't it a wonder?

the reporter was trying to catch up
several dozen baskets full of small
change, it seemed to the reporter, were
dumped between him and the light,
the keepers of the treasury disposed
themselves and the money all over
his table-for the money must be
counted, and counted Immediately,
though the heavens fall-the reporter
was shut out from the light, his table
was gone-the table was still there.
but what is meant is that none of the
surface of it was left to the reporter
in the face of the opposition-the re-
porter's notes of the beautiful perora-
tion were mixed beyond recall-but,
sad or happy, as the case may be, de-
pending upon the point of view, the
reporter managed to escape with his
life.
All of which, however, needs not to
be spun out at any great length, be-
cause it was not of an unusual nature,
so as to be out of the ordinary, and it
happened at far-away college COM
mencement
And, perhaps, it is well, for col
lection is very, very important, and it
is highly important that it be counted
Immediately, and that it be counted on
a certain, specified, exceedingly popu-
lar, and wide-famed table.
Moral: Don't be reporter at a
far-away college commencement. If
you have to be, be very careful to avoid
the table. And never, oh, never, be
so foolish as to try to compete with a
collection-at a table.

Of course this didn't happen in New
berry, and of course it has no connec-
ton with Newberry college, because
the culture at Newberry college is too
broad, and the people of Newberry are
too generous, and Newberry college
and the students of the college are
very deeply appreciative of the efforts
of the local newspapers and the corre-
spondents of the out-of-town news
papers to give as decent report of
commencement as they can, if for no
other reason than that the circulation
|of the great practical truths in the
sermons and addresses may be pro-
ductive of some good to those who do
not hear them but who may read them.
This from an altruistic viewpoint, to
say nothing of the fact that in this age
a. good word spoken for the college
might be Of some good.
So, to begin with, the plot of this lit
tie story is laid way off yonder.
A reporter, representing local pa
per and several out-of-town papers,
he wasn't much of a reporter, but he
couldn't write comfortably in the air,
and he had headache, besides-went
down to the commencement exercises
of this far-away college. There was
little table there-it wasn't much of a
table. but it. was sufficient for all pur-
poses, and it was a good little table,
for the purposes for which it was in
tended He knew nobody would object
to his using it. 1t was filled with a
million hats and wraps and fans, but
after the owners were out of the way,
the reporter surreptitiously removed
these, and silently sided into chair,
and began to write, as best he could,
a report of 4 very fine sermon which
was being preached. He was still
writing away, happy in the thought
that possession was nine-tenths of the
law and that maybe he could hold his
little table if he sat right still and
didn't bother anybody. But, alas, he
had reckoned without the collection.
An offering was taken. Writing away

tion-the speaker had finished, and

The board of governors representing
the chamber of commerce of Newberry,
has passed resolutions condemning the
action of the Southeastern Tariff asso-
citation in increasing the rates of fire
insurance. 1t is stated that the rates
have been arbitrarily increased with
out any reason from 20 to 80 per cent,
which will mean the taking out of this
town for insurance from three. to five
thousand dollars more each year.
These resolutions will be sent to the
Greenville chamber of commerce, which
organization seems to have been TAX
ing the initiative in this matter with
the association, and the Newberry
chamber of commerce will cooperate
most heartily in protesting against
this unreasonable increase in the rates
