ELABORATE PREPARATIONS FOR
OPENING GAME.
Goat" Anderson Spent Day at Pitts
hur5h-RaIn Prevented the Team
Working Out Yesterday.
(By MUTT.)

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the business organizations
Throughout the Central league for the
opening of the baseball season. In
GAINESVILLE, Dayton and practically
every other city the merchants have
decided to give their clerks a half
holiday while many of the Industries
will be closed during the afternoon.
That all opening day attendances will
be broken seems assured. Everything
is being done by the fans to give their
clubs a rouslng send of. Will Wheel
ing do her part?
While the matter has not been TAX
en- up with the board Of trade nor the
business mems association IL is gen.
orally thought that Wheeling. will not
trail In this matter. Surely many OF
the business houses will close here
for a half day holiday. They do It on
city day at the fair.
stosIes a Winner.
Wheeling Is to have a winning ball
club this season. There is no quest
ion about this. There is no greater
advertisement for city than a win
ming ball club. The account of the
games is carried from coast to coast
by all press associations and then
stores regarding the kind OF city the
team represents naturally become
published throughout the country. In
nearly the major and minor league
the business organizations take deer
interest in their clubs.
The Stogies on their trips this sea
son will carry with them literature &c
advertise Wheeling. This litature will
be distributed in the various towns
they play in and on the trains. Thin
will no doubt be appreciated by tbs
business men and they will recipro
ciate by making opening day here OF

Honea Path, s. c., r. f. d.,
December ~, 1912.

Act. No. 16 of the Statutes of 1911
prohibits the traffic in seed cotton
and unpacked lint cotton, except by
those possessing license, within the
period beginning Aug. 18th and ending
December Goth, and further that such
traffic is prohibited throughout the
whole year between sunset and sun
rise. Licenses are secured from the
clerk of court and are good for a pc
riod of one year. The amount of ~,
license Is limited to some sum be-
tween $1.0n and 100000 according as
1T may be fixed by the board of county
commissioners of each county. The
act is so miserably written that it re-
quired the combined efforts Of the
clerk of court the editor of this pa
per and leading member of the Lau-
rens bar to derive at the proper mean
ing of the statute and doubt still re-
mans in our mind as to the intention
of the legislature. The three of us
came to the conclusion that it is not
necessary to have license to traffic
in seed cotton or unpacked int cot
ton during the remaining eight months
of the year not specified above
But for lack of space in this issue,
we would print the entire act. 1t is
our intention to print 1t in an early
issue.
No applications for license have been
made with the clerk of court and con-
sequently he has not issued any to
anyone in Sullivan's township or any
other township. All those who, with
out license, have bought seed cotton
or unpacked lint cotton this year since
August 18th. have violated the law
If we read the act correctly. A fine or
Imprisonment or both are provided for
in the act. So-called legal sales" of
such products do not come under the
restriction.

DEATH OF THAD NJ. MARTIN.
HonOred Citizen of the County DieJ
ut his Home near Madden Tuesday.

ut his Home near Madden Tuesday.
Madden, Dec. 16.-There was gen.
uine sorrow in the hearts Of many
when the sad news went forth that
Thad Martin was dead He had been
a sufferer for quite awhile from the
dread disease. Brights diseasp and
though different doctors were consult
ed and all that loving children could
do, was done. nothing could stay the
disease that had taken so firm hold
and he "feii In sleep"-the sle> that
knows no earthly waning at his home
near here on December 10th. His
death is peculiarly sad. Just seven
months ago the wife and mother was
buried and now the father has been
called. The children have been dou-
bly, orphaned in the short space Of IL
months. Christmas 1911 found the
Martin family unbroken and they had
their usual annual Christmas gather
ing. Clristmas 1912 both parents lie
side by side in the cemetery at old Mt
Pleasant and thor children are sore.
ly stricken. How uncertain is life.
How sure is death! God grant that
each one who reads these lines may
heed the warning given, "Be ye also
ready, for in such an hour as ye think
not, the Son of Man cometh"
From Texas. IN a few short days
will start the younger brother, who
has been gone from the old home 26
years, and to whom the knowledge that
his brother died SO short awhile be-
fore he reached here will cause keen
anguIsh. To all those who mourn his
death we offer deepest sympathy. To
Him who doeth all things we'll. we
commend them.
Earth has no sorrow that Heaver
cannot heal"
