Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, June 17.-Thursday
evening at Copeland's hall the busi-
ness men and base ball players Of
Ehrhardt met in a mass meeting and
decided to form a base ball team for
the summer months. The merits of
base ball were discussed, and it was
the general opinion that base ball
team was a great asset to communi-
ty. Apart from the amusement and
recreative feature, the advertising
value was considered and willing
ness was expressed by the business
men present to support the team in
a financial way. Mr.. H. Karesh, an
enterprising merchant, suggested the
idea of forming a base ball associa-
ton, to be made up of stock holders,
each share Of stock to be sold at the
par value of five dollars. A commit
tee was appointed, made up OF
Messrs. H. Karesh, w. Max Walker,
and A. F. Henderson, to put the mat
ter before the merchants of the town
and ask their cooperation This
was done and the following men will
compose the stock company. H. Ka-
resh, w. NJ. Walker, A. F. Henderson,
J. H. Roberts, NJ. D., Ehrhardt Hard
ware Co., o. E. Kearse, McKensie
Bros, Paul Arndt, Jr., J. W. Priester,
Copeland& Farrell, G. Ehrhardt &
Son, Jacob Ehrhardt, J. D. Dannelly,
r. L. Williams, J. H. Hux, D. D. S.,
J.. M. Dannelly, F H. Copeland. -
This shows in true way the en-
terprising spirit of the citizens of this
growing town, and with Mr.. Robert
Mcdowell as president and Mr.. A. F..
Henderson as manager Of the base
ball team, they issue a challange to
any amateur team in the lower part OF
the State for a game or series of
games to be played either on the
home ground or on the road.
The first game of the season WILL
be- played on the home grounds Tues
day afternoon against WATERFORD.
Our school boys are home, and
Of all their studies at school base ball
must be participated in and rehears-
ed. The other studies are OF less i'm
portance and can be dispensed with
until the session for next year opens
again.
Glad to see warm weather assert
iself again; will help cotton to get
a hump on it and do something.
One darky got too much fire water
or shoemaker under his shirt Sat-
urday afternoon. His mouth issued
some epithets against one of the
white race. A half brick administer
ed to the side of his head by white
man humbled the coon to the side
walk and made things quiet until
chief could give them a pass to the
Red Top Inn. Council will say what
the board bill will be.
Ninety degrees Fahrenheit on yes

year-old Bessie Metz, an orphan, to-
day confessed to the sheriff that she
attempted to poison officers and pa

at the hospital. Nearly pint of the
poison was used and the milk solu-
ton was so strong that it was detect

ton, appeared before the legislative
investigating committee in Columbia
Tuesday and gave some testimony to
prove his charge that graft money
had been traced practically up to the
governors Office. He was on the wit
ness stand for more than one hour
and gave detailed account of his re-
latiohs with Gov. Blease.
At the conclusion of his testimony
he read an affidavit by J. J. Miller, of
Charleston, in which it was charged
that graft had been collected from
the whiskey dealers in Charleston
and turned over to B. H. Stothart,
chief constable.
The following charge was contain
ed in the affidavit: "The next day or
two this friend, Capt. John Black,
came to me along with Jim Crocker
and said, Miller Cor John) as friend
of yours, I feel it is my duty to ad-
wise you or at least put you on your
guard. did not want to tell you last
night, but I have been thinking over
the thing and I feel that you ought
to know it. Ben Stothart said on the
train last night (although drunk; you
know sometimes drunk men speak
the truth) that he had been promised
a pardon by the governor if he would
put you and another fellow out of
the way"
Charged Wholesale Graft.
The reading of this affidavit was
the main testimony presented by May
or Grace. He charged wholesale
graft in Charleston and requested
that the committee go to Charleston
and take testimony from witnesses
that he said he would produce.
"Adiourn and come to Charleston
and will furnish the evidence in the
interest of truth. I have power
down there which will not require
them but prompt them to give the
testimony" said Mayor Grace. The
committee took the invitation under
consideration and decided to meet to-
day in Charleston when the taking
of testimony will be resumed. May
or Grace will be asked to- continue
his testimony and to produce witness
es to substantiate the charge contain
ed in Common Sense to the effect
that graft has been traced to Column
bia.
To Call Fielder.
One of the most important features
to the session Tuesday was the an
announcement by H. B. Carlisle, chair
man of the committee, that T. B. Eel
der was to appear before the COM
mittee on July 8. In letter to the
committee Mr.. Fielder suggested At
lanta as the place to take the testi-
mony.

telegram was addressed to Mr.. Fielder
by the committee: COMMITTEE pre-
fers Augusta, July 8, morning at 10
O'Clock. Wire answer Columbia.
The following reply was received
from Mr.. Fielder: prefer Atlanta

in Augusta will permit any member
of the State campaign party to at

For months Ell Paso citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise Of DOan's Kidney Pills by II
Paso residents. Would these. prominent
people recommend a remedy that had
not proven reliable2 Would they con
firm their statements after years had
elapsed If personal experience had ROT
shown the remedy to be worthy OF en-
dOrsement2 No stronger proof Of merFE
can be had than cures that have stood
the test of time. The following state
ment should carry conviction to the
mind of every Ell PasO reader:
