stead of the goat once in a while.
Jack Holland is of the opinion that
there is going to be a reorganization in
the Western league before another sea-
son. Holland claims that everything is
badly arranged and that practically ev-
cry manager is behind this season, and
will do well if he clears expenses. His
chief complaint is that too many play
ers are carried by the clubs and that
the salary limit is too high.
Il am going to work to have the linn
it of players lowered to fourteen and
the salary limit reduced accordingly"
Holland declared. Il have the highest
priced ball club in the league, barring
none, and yet my players are not able
to deliver. L am going to slash a lot of
salaries before I'm done with it and if
they don't like it they can get out of
baseball. They will have to work to
hold their jobs and every man will have
to come through with the goods, or
he'll be turned loose. 1 worked to have
the salary limit placed where it is and
boosted everything for the players in
terests. but they don't appreciate it and
hold out for more money. 1 am the
one who worked for the 168-game
schedule, just to help the players, but
1 see where 1 have been wrong all
around. 1 won't do it any more.
Things will be changed before another
season comes around
Some of the papers around the circuit
are boasting that the home teams came

like to see his favorites make good and
although he may hate to see a player
go he rejoices that his man is good
enough to attract outside attention.

his friends in all sections OF the State.
He Is successful business man, a

Not only is the Seaboard Air Line
coming to Charleston, but it is COM
ing twO-fold, SO TO speak, or by two
routes one through the central DOR
ton OF the State and the other by
the way Of Georgetown, along the
coast section, according TO rumor.
but just when this hope of Charles
ton for better railroad connections
will be realized, nobody seems to
know, although the opinion grows
stronger that the time is not far dis
tant when the system will have its
tracks running into the city.
The Charleston counsel for the Sea-
board Air Line has denied the story
that the system is behind the Sottile
project to erect a bridge over the
Cooper river and enter Charleston
roads, many built by lumber compan-
les about Georgetown, working across
the Santee river, through the Nc
ClellanvilIe section and Mount Pleas
ant to Charleston. The idea Of enter
ing Charleston over a bridge is to
obviate the almost prOhibitive rates
which, according to the story, the
other systems would impose upon the
company, coming into Charleston
through the meek" 4 ferry system(
is said to be expensive to maintain
and to have proven a failure at Sa-
Vannah where 1t is used, this sug-
costing bridge for the connection

The Seaboard Air Line owns water
front property at the foot of Society
street as it is alleged to do also
on the Remley's Point section, just
on the opposite side Of the Cooper
river, and the persistent rumors Of
the system coming into Charleston
in this way, are heard and circulated
in spite Of the denial of the counsel
of the railroad that the Seaboard
has anything to do with the bridge

the thought that the average Re-
corder's court jury is remarkably ex-
acting in constituting the law of evil

result that many notorious liquor SELL

give an alleged criminal a fair trial
but IL Is quite another thing to
begin and end by giving the GRIM
NAL tho benefit Of the doubt even to
the slasssBt OF doubling and discredit-
ing all the evidence against him. An
other common error into which some
turies fail Is TO mistake the earnest
anu eioquent peas OF the lawyers IOr
the defense for evidence. When sell
