The use Of the bed of Lake Tex
coco, now being drained to provide
arabic lands for the Indians living
on it's banks, is meeting with much
critism from scientists and physi-
,cians. Medical staticians have at
tempted to demonstrate that whom
ever the level of the lake has gone
down an epidemic of typhus fever
has resulted, and have gone so far
as to compare the relative level Of
the lake with the death rate from
that disease, Agriculturists have
made chemical analyses of the land
on the shores Of the lake and in its
bottom and have stated that no
known vegetation will grow there
The analyses shows alkilies Of var
ious kinds and insoluble sulphides
The latter argument aroused the
most interest on the part of the
government commission in charge Of
the drainage Of the lake and expert
ments are now being instituted TO
prove or disprove the theory, Trees
aud plants, both foreign and native
to Mexican soil, are being planted
on the shores of the lake and their
growth carefully observed TO deter
mine which, If any, are suitable to
the alkali soil, Experiments are
also being made in washing the soil
IN an attempt to ascertain whether
such procedure would be beneficial
on a large scale The commercial
possibilities of the recovery of any
soluble salts are also being looked
into.
One of the purposes of draining
the lake was to do away with the
continual sand storms which now
assail the capital, which would make
the draining of the lake a disadvan
tage in case tho land should not
lend itself to cultivation. Indians
living along the lake would further
more be deprived of the scanty live
lihood they now derive from the
sale Of various forms of aqueous pro-
ducts from the lake.

THE FOURTH AT BENSON.
A Lively Contested Base Ball
Game Much Enjoyed.

The Fourth of July was observed
here as one of the safe and sane
kind. There was a hotly contested
battle between Kingstree ball play
ers and the local team to exceed
each other on the diamond by heap
ing scores for their respective teams.
After dinner the players lined up as
follows: From Kingstree: Feldon
McGill, Marion Funk, G Holroyd, G
Mcintosh, Earl Cook, Tom McGill,
B Driggers, A Blakeley and Mauldin
Lesesne.
The home team were Cleve Scott,
Jack Mccullough, Ellie Howard,
Scott McGill, Guerry Tisdale, Barney
Crooks, Ploot Scott, Ennie Howard,
M Blakeley.
The visitors by choice refused
first to the bat. Both visitors and
locals played evenly up to the
seventh inning, having eight scores
each. Benson's hits came at op-
portunt moments in the eighth and
ninth innings, Scott McGill, Barney
Crooks and Pleot Scott made one
score each in the last two innings.
The visitors famed out in the
eighth except Fielder McGill, and
Earl Cook made good with one in
the ninth. The score was as follows:
Kingstree-O 0 2 2 4 0 0 l l-10
Benson i 2 500 0 % 3-14
The game, while minus of sensa-
tional features by either team, was
very much enjoyed by the spectators
from beginning to end.

The word "gutterSnipe' falls
trippingly from the tongue of

His Excellency, Governor Cole l.
Blease, by the late J l. NJ Irby, who
with John Gary Evans and John
McLaurin was running for the
United States Senate about 1898
or 1899. Mr. Blease was then,
as we recall it, McI.aurin's cam
paign manager, with headquarters
at Columbia, and was sending
out scurrilous literature denomc-
ing Irby and Evans. lrby has
passed into the Great Beyond,
but, we believe, there is no love
lost 'twixt Messrs BleaSe and
Evans even until vet.
