MIR. Lott Writes Interestingly Of
Pleasant Trip

People going to and fro upon the
earth is one of the features of our
observation, While at the union
ssationin Columbia, a few days ago
we met people from the south going
to the mountain resorts to cool off.
People from the mountains going
to the sea shore to bathe in the surf.
People going east and west to see
sights, some even planning trips
across the ocean to see if there is
anything new under the sun. This
restless disposition is the fulfill
ment of prophecy the finger of
Time pointing to the destination of
all things. We wondered why peo-
pie want to ramble all over the
world to see the beauty of nature
when the scenery of the Piedmont
section of South Carolina affords
enough to entertain and crafty the
artist and poet for ages. The seen
cry of this Switzerland of South
Carolina, is not, by any means all
that we find in this portion of our
state. On the other hand it is the
mild. In York, Cherokee, Green
vile, Pickens, Oconee we found
hospitality of the right kind, not
the make believe but the genuine
kind. At Hickory Grove in York
county we met our young minister
friend Rev. Bascon Hardy. Brother
Hardy is appreciated by his people
not on account of his position as
minister of the gospel but his true
value as pastor and preacher. We
learned this from members of his
church. lOur first institute meeting
was held at Mr. Wilkinson's farm a
few miles west of Hickory Grove.
MIR. Wilkinson is large. progress
sive and successful farmer, who
stands firmly by the federal govern
ment, in its efforts to raise agricul-
ture on higher and more scientific
basis. The members of our cam
paigning party will long remember
the reception given us,not only their
earnest attention but splendid din
ner and music. The music was fur
nished by the Wilkinson silver cor
net band of,four members, leader and
instructor all of which are sons of
Mir. Wilkinson, musical family.
Our next meeting was held at
w. r. Walkers farm in Cherokee
county. Mr. Walker is not only a
farmer and large land owner, but
prides himself on fine stock, hogs
and cattle especially. Think of four
hundred head of cows black poll
angus all 30 much alike that you
could not tell one from ano:hel.
Mr.. Walker makes big money sell
ing beeves in lots of tifties and even
hundred at good price. This breed
of cattle is we'll adapted to the eli
mate and pasturage of the south.
From this point we were transport
ed across the country in Mr.. Chas.
NJ. Smiths handsome touring car.
If our people would pull out occa-
sionally aud see what other sections
of the state are doing we have NO
doubt that it would be profitable to
our entire citizenship. 1t costs the
people of Piedmont about as much
to keep one mile of road in good
shape as it would five miles in this

night, If the advance ticket sale is
an tndication-which it Is.
Never before was there such a
scramble for tickets to any scrap
scheduled here.
The reason YOU all know. 1t isn't
because Nelson is the best little
advertiser in the business: it isn't
because he was once the greatest
champion of them all or because he
is working his way back to that
championship again--it is for the
reason that Nelson never put on q

THE Todd-Greenwood scrap
should be corker. Green
wood is touted by Nelson as a
coming champion and the Battler
thinks his man will win the semi.
windup easily.
For the opening number Of the
card Kid Wonder, a Birmingham
lad who has a decision over Spider
Britt, will meet Young Superior In
a six-round go.
Owing to the fact that there will
be so many out-of-town visitors
here for the battle, 1t has been de-
cided to hold the card down to three
bouts, in order that the visitors
may be able to catch their trains
home in good time.

If ability to get over the ground
with great rapidity were all that
an athlete needs to steal bases,
Bert Daniels. of the Yankees,
would be one Of the best in the
business instead of one of the
worst. George Browne was one of
the fastest men that ever came
into fast company, and he was
forced to do most of his stealing
on passed balls and wild pitches.
Shotten. the Brown recruit of a
season or two back. could almost
run around Arthur Duffy-but the
second baseman was usually play
ing with the ball when he arrived
down there. Jimmy Austin stole
something like 96 bases in the mi
nor league that he graced before
he ioined the Yankees. and he
could 20 down to first like a panic
stricken rabbit, but he never got
much beyond first, excepting on
sacrifice hits
George Browne could back up as
fast as old Bill Dahlen could run,
but Dahlen was one OF the best
base stealers the Giants ever had.
Clumsy old Jack Doyle, OF the Bal
timores. was a great base stealer.
Frank Chance, never a really fast
man, is one of the smoothest bur
glars in baseball.
On the other hand. Cobb. Besch-
er. Milan and Collins, a quartet Of
the greatest base runners that
ever lived, are all wonderfully fast
All of which goes to show that
while Thorpe can do a hundred
yards I'm less than eleven seconds,
he may find the 80 feet from first
TO second the longest mile he ever
tackled.
Base running depends more on
good judgment. probably. than any
other one thing \ man who de-
pends on speed alone is soon placed
in his proper niche by hralny
catchers. and they lay nice little
raps for him to sprint into. 1t is

r HAVE been asked to write a
story on the three hardest
blows that were ever landed

slider the hardest and most timely I

SULzER FAILS TO
TAKE STAND TO
SAVE WIFE
Would Suffer Himself To
Shield Her
CASE IS NEAR ITS END
Summing Up of Evidence Has Begun
and Will Is Expected End Next
Tuesday

Albany, n. Y, Oct. S--Without call
ing either Gov. Sulzer or his wife TO
the witness stand, his counsel today
rested their defense in the trial of
his impeachment.
According 10 D-Cady Herrick, chief
of his attorneys, Gov. Sulzer decided
not to defend himself in person be-
cause he did not want TO be placed
in the position of shielding himself
behind his wife--for it was for Mrs.
Sulzer, according to the testimony
that the governor had his Wall street
dealings.
Judge Herrick said tonight that
the governor had heard from many
quarters, including Washington, that
ANY man who would shield himself
behind his wife ought TO be remov-
ed"
Tomorrow and Friday will be de-
voted TO summing up the case by the
opposing counsel. Monday next be-
ing holiday, the court will probab-
~ duJtuH llOhl rfiustl uutlt L uth-
day, when, it Is expected, the verdict
on the governors guilt or innocence
will be reached.
Friends of the governor tonight pic
tured him as man who had martyr
ed himself for the sake of his wife.
Judge Herrick pointed out that the
testimony yesterday of Allan A. Ry.
an best disclosed the reason why the
governor had not taken the stand.
This was the conversation which
Ryan said he had with the impeach.
ed executive early IN September On re
lation to obtaining political influence
to stop the trial.
Il suggested to Mr.. Sulzer." Ry-
ans testimony ran. nov that Ger,
tain charges had been made against
him. that | did not see that he could
afford to put himself in a position in
which he could not answer the charg
es. He said that the reason was that
he did not want to drag his wife in
to the situation and put her on the
stand"
