Young HighMANmen.

Greenwood, Jan. 27-Two white
youths, ages approximately sixteen
made three bold and successful hold
ups or negro pedestrians on the streets
here last night. Two boys, Walter
Goldman and Connie Blaine, we're ar
rested by the police this morning
They were turned over to the county
authorities and are now in Jail. Their
respective parents are good citizens
and have the sympathics of many in
the crime of these boys. The two
boys, one armed with a billiard cue
and the other with a pistol, went out
as highwaymen, it is charged, and
succeeded in making three negroes
stand and deliver. A watch and 500
in money was the result of the nights
work.

SOFT DRINKS ONLY
AT THE RACE COURSE


portunity to Buy Soda Water at
Charleston when They Inspected the
Race Course.
Charleston, Jan. 2G.-The racing
meet, as conducted in Charleston, was
thoroughly explained to the members
of the general assembly today and the
members left for Columbia tonight
with full conception of the condi-
tions existing. A badge presented to
each member of the legislative party
admitted all to the grounds and to
the reserved seats. Many of the
members of the house and senate ac-
cepted the entertainment which was
given by the city of Charleston. The
members went to the race track this
afternoon, after paying a visit to the
naval station.
Merits Set Forth.
The citizens of Charleston inter
ested in the maintenance of the racing
meet here were careful to explain
the merits of the meet to all of the
members of the house and senate. In
anticipation of the coming of the gen
eral assembly, the real condition at
the track was toned down to some
extent by the elimination of the
stronger drinks at the bar, which is
maintained in the racing house. Wis
itors to the racing meet who wore the
badges, tried to secure whiskey at the
bar and they were given tho follow
ing answer: eve servo only soft
drinks" This caused surprise among
the regular attendants of the racing
meet here. Tho agents Of those in
terested In the Charleston racing meet
workd fast and quick to create ia
vorable impression upon the minds of
the legislators with reference to the
game. These agents even went SO
far as to try and create the same
impression upon the minds of several
newspaper men attending There is
la measure pending in the general as
scmby which, if enacted, would elm

Some weeks ago Messrs Davis Rop-
er &c Company sent to Mr.. A. Douglas
Denny, through one Of his relatives
here, one Of the firms calendars. On
the calendar was displayed the pie
lures Of q number of historical plac
es and relics pertaining to the civil
war. The calendar was sent to My
Denny on account of his we'll known
views on the subject Of the war he
being an ardent believer in the cause
of the Confederacy.
1t will be remembered that on the
day appointed for the unvciling of the
Women's Monument in Columbia,
which was to be in December and
which was indefinitely postponed. Mr..
Denny cabed congratulations on its
erection to Capt. w. E. Gonzales, the
chairman of the committee. MIR. Den
ny, evidently brooding over his own
countrys sad plight. has taken to
heart the cause of the South and he cv-
or as to the present pension system,
which, through republican rule aided
by week-kneed democrats, is destined
to be even more of hardship within
the next few years.
The letter Of Mr.. Denny follows:

Washington, ban. 26.-'I will ask
you boys a question: said Repre-
sentative Johnson last night to several
young men in his Office, but you
needn't answer It, | will just ask it
to set you to thinking. You have no
ticed, of course, the postmastcr-gen-
erals recommendation that the tele-
graph business of the country be talk
en- over by the postoiffce department,
and operated by the government, as is
done with the telephones and tcle-
graphs in England.
"Well, it takes 2 cents to carry a
letter from here to San Francisco. The
carrying Of letters had been, from
tho beginning Of the postotfice depart
ment, done by private monopoly; what
do you suppose would be the cost of
Francisco? Don't you suppose it would
cost almost as much to send n letter
as it does now to send telegram
lou needn't answer the questions,
for any answer would be a guess. But
it's a safe guess that it would cost
great deal more than 1t does now. "

Night letters are being handled by
the British postal telegraph depart

WALDO DEFEATS
HILTON AT GOLF
English Champion Beaten by Con-
necticut Star Two Up and One to
Play-Hunter in Running.

Golf Ground. Wheaton, Ill, Sept. sc.
Gilbert Waldo. jr.. OF the Brooklawn
Country Club. Bridgeport, Conn. put an
end to Harold Hilton's hopes of retain
ing the American golf championship to-
day when he defeated the little English
man by two up and one to play.
Young Waldo. who was graduated from
Yale last June, and has been Connecti-
cuts golf champion for two seasons, was
regarded as Hilton's first victim when he
drove off the first tee this morning.
From the outset, however, it was evil
dent that Hilton was off his game and
far further of than he was in the IA
nous finish a year ago at Apawamis. At
the turn for home Waldo was three up.
Coming in, Hilton seemed to grow worse
as he went along. He was all over the
course and his putting failed him just
when most needed. At the sixteenth
Waldo was six up, but ne broke on the
home hole which Hilton won, and went
in to lunch down.
The rest at midday did not seem to be
of any benefit to Hilton. for he was as
wild as ever in the afternoon and not all
of his tee shots stopped in the fairway.
There Is still a chance that the Have
MEYER Cup will stay in England. for
Norman F. Hunter. of the Honorable
Company of Edinburgh Golfers, is still
in the running. having defeated Robert
c. Watson to-day. by up and TO play.
Tomorrow he meets w. P. Smith, of
Philadelphia, who advanced at the ex-
pense of A StilweIl. of Chicago. who
was badly beaten.
Those two Eastern veterans: Jerome
.. Travers and Walter J. Travis, both
won to-day, and will meet tomorrow.
Travers beat Sheriff. Sherman. the son
OF the Vice President. by up and 4 to
play and Travis beat Harry Legg. the
trans-M Mississippi champion, by 3 up anil
to play.
From the West, Harold Weber elimi-
mated Eben VI. Byers. OF Allegheny, Pa.
a former national champion, and Paul
Hunter also won a easy match. Albert
SeckeI had to 60 an extra hole to beat
c. w. Inslee. who reached the semi
finals last year.
The famous Chick Evans won by 3
up and 2 to play from A. W. TIlllng-
hast, of Philadelphia. Harry Lee, of De-
troit and Yale. furnished a surprise by
disposing of Oswald Kirk by 4 up and
3 to play. The New Jersey champion
was six holes behind when the morn
ing round ended. and never could catch
up. Lee played splendid game and
deserved his victory.

Southern. Bell is rather small, and
too much work weakens him, and
Bryant may be sent in.
The teams will line up the same as in
the first game. and a battle royal is to
be expected. The game will be called
promptly at 4:SO O'Clock. with Billy Belts
behind the plate and Shorty Hughes in
the field.
The Battle Axe club will arrive in
Washington Saturday morning, eager for
the games with the local champions that
afternoon. American League Park will
be the scene of two great amateur ball
games that day, If the stories regarding
the Richmond title winners are true. 1t
was heard last night that the Axes are
fully hundred per cent stronger than
last year. and unless the local winners
put up a remarkable game in the held.
the Southerners are likely to win out.

would have to go some to win. Coming
from this party, the games with Rich
mond should be hot from the start.
Jimmy Green, Pepco's captain and CEN
ter fielder, is one of the few ball players
who seldom does anything sensational.
but nevertheless is always on the job.
Jimmy has not hit a million during the
present series, but his clouts have been
timely. and that is what counts. In no
less than four games, with men on bases,
Jimmy has come through with the neces-
sary bingle, and the old boy is confident
that he will be the captain Of the cham
pionship team of the District
Ted Sullivan had enough stuff yester-
day to win a dozen ball games. The
former Marquette Lacquer pitched one
OF the best games of his life and was
never in danger. Munich held him up in
great style, and Manager Gray will more
than likely work him against the Rich
mond club Saturday in one of the games.

Pepco has the best outfield in the Dis
trict. Take either Morris, Green. or Fury
and you will have a good fielder, a good
hitter, and a fast man on the bases.

Gray is lucky to-have corraled three such
good men for his club

Dutch Munich was himself, which means
