ginning today, Hemphill's huskies
take on the Birmingham team for
four games. And as this Baron
club is leading the league, it is but
natural to suppose that they can 60

They didn't play perfect ball any
last week. but they played winning

If the Crackers can get to the

they did last week to those of
Montgomery and Mobile, they will
take three games out of four, II
their luck is good Then they go
over to Montgomery for series.
After four games in Slumberville,
they come back to the home sod for

GIANTS APPEAR
To HAVE C|NCH
ON CONF ALON
Bv Monty.

d ACES in both National and
tx American leagues have now
reached such a point that a
more or less definite line can be
had on the way the different teams
stack up against each other. As
things look now, Cincinnati will
continue throughout the season to
be the chief rival of the Giants
and the two Sox-Red and White
will provide the chief opposition for
the Athletics.
The Giants just now look like
1 to 50 bet for the National league
gonfalon 1t is impossible to see
how any of the opposition teams
set and is being kept up by the
New York clan Of McGraw With
all his men in shape to play. Mugg-
sys OUTFIT has something in every
department to play on all its ri
walls, and the team would still be
the strongest even after several
stars are injured, because of the
high class of the substitutes.
McGraw Has Great Pitchers.
AS for McGraws pitching staff, it
is at least the par of any other in
Tom Lynch's organization. Mar
guard, Mathewson, Ames and les
reau have done the bulk of the
work to date, and without stretch
ing a point it can be said that any
one of them is pitching right now
as well as any man on any other
team in the world With this ar
ray to carry his bets, who can beat
out McGraw for the pennant? An
swer; No one apparently.
The Reds of Hank O'Day are
coming along at a great clip flying
the colors of Tafts home town,
Cincinnati Though they do not
compare with the Giants. they seem
to possess an edge on the other
contenders. ODay has some great
young ball players in Esmond, Phe-
Ian and the Cuban, Marsans. His
pitching staff is delivering the
goods in more than passing shape,
and the whole outfit is playing to-
gether well as team,

FOLLOWS TRUTH.

Brother ,Aull, of the Newberry Her
aid and News, admonishes us not to
be Influenced by the big and little
dailies. If the big and little dailies
are honest and upright we can not
but yield to their influence. We see
no objection to following in the foot
path of Truth-Gaffney Ledger.
We calculate that this is a slightly
different answer from which Brother
Aull expected. 1t is a mighty good
one, nevertheless. Ed DeCamp knows
what's right and what's wrong. He
also knows what is true and what is
false.-Greenville Piedmont.
You do not always calculate with
accuracy. Our advice was to follow
in the footpath of Truth, and we did
not expect Ed to do otherwise, but
we opined it might be good to warn
him of certain influences, for we love
the old boy. We only wish that al
newspapers and newspaper writers
followed Truth.

trict, except one or two, was present.
The object of the meeting was to talk
over school interests in the commu-
nifty and to suggest trustees for the
coming year. 1t is a good sign when
you can get all of the patrons of the
district present and when they are
willing to listen attentively to talks
nertaining to the betterment of the
school in their community.
The school house is very pleasantly
situated near Mr.. M. H. Folks and DIR.
E. O. Hentz', and the building has
been erected in recent years and is
very comfortable, though it does not
conform in every detail to the approx
ed plans gotten out by Clemson col
lege. At the invitation of the trus-
tees, the county superintendent OF
education talked to the patrons for
some while on the school situation
generally and made some suggestions
as to him seemed fitting.
Returning, we came back by Mr.. ].
L. Keitt's, the Wadlington place and
the county home. The road here is
very much in the same condition as
the other road, in need of attention,
and of the split log drag. The road
from Prosperity to Newberry is in
good condition, but from Prosperity
down to Mr.. Guss Singley's the road
is in great need Of attention as well
as the other part of the road back to
Newberry. The crops in this section
seem to be in good condition and look
ing we'll. E. H. A.

A Motorcycle Race.

On Wednesday evening last about
a dozen motorcyclists and AUTOMOBILE
lists and nice crowd of other spec
tators gathered It the mile of good
road three miles southeast of the city
to witness a speed contest between the
Indian and the Harley-Davidson mo-
torcycles. The race was pulled about
$50 o'clock, for one mile only. Time
keepers were placed at each mile post
to record the time made. John T.
Cromer and Thos. E. Wicker were the
professional amateurs" doing the
riding-the former on the Indian and
the latter on the Harley-Davidson.
Four races were run, and each was
Swon by Cromer, the fastest run being
made in "a seconds against Wicker in
60 seconds.
While this did not lower any of the
track records, all those standing by
said it was going some, and it was en-
Enthusiastically enjoyed by all.

Last week it was stated in the
newspapers that Col. Tom B. Fielder.
of Atlanta, had engaged his berth in a
certain train, which would leave At
Ianta at a certain time and pass
through South Carolina on a certain
time. We rather suspected at the
time, this publicity as to the train and
what schedule Col. Fielder would take
was rather in the shape of a bluff, A
few days after this statement came
out and three days before Sunday, it
was again stated that Col Tom B. Eel
der would not go to Baltimore on the
Democratic special as previously an
nounced, but that he had left on
Thursday night for Charlotte and that
on Friday he would leave for New
York.
The following is from the Augusta
Chronicle of Saturday. Col. Fielder
keeps the water muddy as to which
way he went or will go:
Everybody can stop worrying now
about Tom B. Fielder and Governor
Blease, thereby causing further dis
tress to a certain well-known journal
hereabouts. MIR. Fielder, be it known,
left quietly for Cincinnati last night
on important legal business, and ne
will go direct from there to Baltimore.
Therefore, the danger of Governor
Blease attempting to hold up the Bal
timore special in order to grab there
from the Atlanta attorney, is past, and
all concerned can breathe easy again.
incidentally those wagering that Mr..
Fielder would not be on the Georgia
special are cashing in.

rof this trip was to visit Pomaria and
to meet with the trustees of the Zion

Aunt Classy" as she was better

was member of the Baptist church,

morning at 10 o'clock
| One of many little interesting epis-
odes of her life happened in the au-
tumn of 1862, when Wheeler's cavalry
was camped at Prosperity, with many
sick and wounded in the ranks. Aunt
Classy, like many other Southern wo-
men, fought her share of the battle
for her country woman's country,
nursing and caring for the sorrowful
and the suffering, the sick and the
poor alike, and when those boys mar
ched on to the front there were many
broken voiced good-byes to Aunt
Classy" She is survived by two

TON.

er from NeWDerry 10 WuilIhiio' az"
again from Newberry to Pomarla. Inc
trip to Whitmire was made in an auto
mobile (Ford Model IT, with Mr. NC
Hardy Mower as driver, and in gong
we selected the route via Beth Eden,
Cromers, C. H. Shannon's, W. J. Dun
cans, the Brick house. John w.
SCOTS. This road was worked last
year by the changing, but the heavy
rains of the winter put it in worse
condition than it would have been if
it had not been worked. A trip was
made over it in April by. private con-
veyance, and at that time it was al
most impossible. 1t was all that two
strong mules could do to pull the We
hicle. If the road had been dragged
regularly, it would now be in fine
shape, but not being dragged it is in
holes and very rough, except short
distance from the Brick house to the
residence Of Mr.. John W. Scott,
where it has been dragged.
This is fine section of the coun-
try, and the crops look we'll and are
in fairly good condition, but the peo-
pie need to be aroused to the import
ance of giving some little attention to
the care of the public road.
One stop was made at Mr.. w. j.
Duncan's and again at Mr.. W. c.
SCOTS and at Mr. n B. Johnson's.
These gentlemen and all their neigh
bors have comfortable homes and ev-
erything wears the air of prosperity.
At Whitmire, the objective point of
INV visit, a conference was had with
the trustees of the school with view
of setting up all past Indebtedness,
which was done, and also to discuss
the advisability of arranging State
zaLAo1
The people are very much interested
in their school and with their present
income and the increase which will
come in a very short time from the in
crease of the taxable property, there
will be plenty of money to maintain
one of the best schools in the State
without any increase in taxation.
The trustees expect to employ a
competent superintendent for the
coming year and will at once take
steps to establish high school. There
IS already a comfortable and modern
brick school house with ample room
and appliances for first class school.
The work on the enlargement of the
Glenn-Lowry Manufacturing Com
pany's plant is progressing nicely and
when completed, it will be the larg-
est mill in this section. The town of
Whitmire also has number of mod
ern and up-to-date mercantile estab-
lishments, and with the increase in
population, which will follow the en-
largement of the mill, there will be,
of course, an increase In the business
done by the town.
Mrs. VIM. Coleman and those asso-
ciated with him are developing a nice
town at Whitmire and it is now fine
trade centre.
On the return trip, the road via
John NJ. Suber's, Charles Suber's and
the Caldwell place was taken. 1t is,
in some respects, in better condition
than the other road, though very hilly
and in many places very much in need
of the split log drag.
Saturday afternoon another trip was
taken in the same car with Mr.. w. c.
Waldrop at the wheel The purpose
of this trip was to visit Pomaria and
to meet with the trustees of the Zion
school about four miles from Pomaria.
