The state appropriated only $40

The state appropriated only $1,000
with which to pay the expenses of
South Carolina soldiers who desire to
go to the Gettysburg Reunion. AS far
back as a week ago, Gen. B. H. league.
of Aiken had received applications
calling for nearly three times the
amount Of the states appropriation.
The Columbia State subscribed 500
and called for subscriptions to cover
the balance required. Up to Saturday
about $500 had been raised and more
was coming in. Governor Blease wrote
Gen. league Offering to borrow as
much money as might be needed OIL
an official joint note, to be paid by the
governor and Gen. league provided
the general assembly should fail to
make good. 1t seems that there is a
great deal Of confusion In regard to
the matter at both ends of the line, In
Pennsylvania as we'll as in South
Carolina and the prospect is that the
attendance of old soldiers at Gettys-
burg is to be much larger than any
body had anticipated and it Is going
to take some extraordinary expedients
to meet the emergency.

Senator Jones from Washington
state has been holding up the busi-
ness Of the senate during the past ten
days in an effort to force that body to
give him an additional clerk. Under
the rules of the senate, member can
not introduce a bill without unanimous
consent until after notice has been
given at a previous session; and Jones
is objecting on every notice. In the
house no notice Is required Of inten-
ton to introduce bill. The member
simply walks up and places his bill In
basket opposite the speakers desk,
and the bill is then buried in COM
mittee or reported as those in control
see proper. There Is probability
that IL Mr.. Jones persists in his fool
ishness, the senate which has already
broken several musty old precedents
at this session, will break another as
to the introduction Of bills and adopt
the plan that obtains in the house.
The attention Of tho entire country is
being called to the lilly and unreason-
able filibuster of Senator Jones, and
the sentiment that is being aroused
promises to be plenty.

PLANS for a permanent govern
ment on the canal zone will not be put
into effect until the formal opening Of
the canal in January, 1915, Secretary
Garrison announced a few days ago.
In the meantime the zone government
will continue as heretofore, with such
notifications as changing conditions
may demand. Secretary Garrison has
conferred frequently during the past
week with Col. Goethals. chairman Of
the Isthmian canal commission, and
he has asked the colonel to submit
from time to time recommendation
as to the organization Of a permanent
government. 1t is practically certain
that the government will continue to
operate the Panama railroad after the
canal is completed. Secretary Garri-
son said, as 1t would be necessary to
have a means for the transportation
Of troops and supplies in the event the
canal should be out Of commission at
any time.

Prominent Americans in Cuba have

signed testimonial as to the patriotism,
ability, fairness and fitness Of Arthur
M. Beaupre. the retiring envoy extraor-
dinary and minister plenipotentiary to
Cuba, and requesting the retention of
that official in the Cuban position. The
paper set forth how we'll and faithful
ly the minister was representing the
interests of the United States, and
how acceptable he was to the Cuban
people, but at the same time care was
taken to set forth that Mr.. Gonzales,
the new minister. is persona grata- Mr..
Beaupre, of course, is Republican.

Mr.. Ratchford has had to die this
year. u ~.
The trustees of Bethany school dis
trict No. 2, are arranging to sell their
present school property, and erect q
modern school building that will COM
pare favorably with anything In the
county.
We would like to have some au-
thentic reports Of oat yields Of 75 or
100 bushels to the acre, or even small
er yields where the acreage Is large.
We have rumors of some pretty good
yields; but very little that is authen-
tic.
The common testimony SO far as
The Enquirer has been able to gather
1t, is that while the recent week of
chilly weather brought cotton to a
standstill and killed some of 1t, espe-
cially where 1t was too thick, no great
harm was done, and cotton generally
Is now looking we'll. There Is still q
lot of cotton to be chopped out, how
ever. There is lots Of corn, and much
Of 1t Is looking good. 7aiIf, ~.
In another column we are printing
a communication from Mr.. M, L
Smith, secretary and treasurer of the
Glover Manufacturing company, brief
ly reminiscent of baseball in the
old days. The short note accompany
ing the contribution suggests that II
the article Is mot worth printing" 1t
might be consigned to the waste bas.
ket, etc. But that Is only characteris-
tic of the modesty Of the writer, who
has no idea Of the very great interest
with which all the older baseball
cranks as many of the younger ones.
throughout this section, will read what
he has to say. While as q matter of
fact 1t has never crossed the mind OF
the editor to toss this admirable arti-
Gle in the waste basket. II he should
do so, it would be long time before
his conscience would become reconciled
to the offense. But 1t occurs to us that
there Is one certain star Of the old
time of which Mr.. Smith fails to make
mention. We are not blaming him. In
the first place we doubt II Mr.. Smith
ever fully realized the fame Of the
star we have in mind, and In the second
place, even If he did, he could not very
well tell the story. We refer to Mr.
M. l.. Smith himself. He was the
champion catcher Of his day, and any
one of the players he has mentioned
as we'll as hundreds of others would
testify on oath that in their opinion,
during a period Of about ten years,
Mr.. Smith could have gotten employ
ment at big pay, as catcher for any
one Of the big league clubs Of the
country. Meek Smith was also a star
player, and the whole Glover team was
at one time the champion amateur
baseball aggregation Of the Piedmont.
The writer hereof very well remem-
bers the pitching of John T. Roddey,
and how the Rock Hill team used TO
beat Yorkville in the old days, and he
also remembers the fine pitching OF
Will Beamguard, and the pride that all
the baseball cranks in the county had
in the same. Personally the editor Of
The Enquirer is not now baseball
fan, IL he ever was; but he Is enough
of a newspaper man to know that Mr..
Smith has sent in some mighty good
stuff" and hereby returns thanks for
his excellent article.
