Hos OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD, demo-
cratic floor leader of the House, has full
~ demonstrated his right of leadership.
Ii was no small undertaking TO work out
a tariff bill which would meet party
promises and unite the democrats IN
Congress in its support, but he was equal
10 the task and came out most victori-
ously. Only five so called democrats
proved Obdurate TO his arguments, four
from Louisiana, who objected TO free
sugar. and New Yorker, who proba-
bly, didn't know what he wanted. To
unite all factions on a bill which
gives so much popular satisfaction and
win the support OF four progressives,
one Independent and two republicans is
an accomplishment which challenges
the admiration of all democrats. whose
gratitude and confidence will yet be
shown by electing him to the highest
Office in the gift Of the people.

The Need in Panic, Periods,

In our periodic panics, what the bust
ness man needs. is not so much money
as credit. IL he can borrow from his
bank on sound paper, and draw checks
and drafts against the deposit which
the loan creates, he can weather the
storm. But our banks, under the pre-
sent system, whereby their reserves are
scattered through $4,000 institutions,
must stop lending when they reach the
legally fixed limit. Our banking re-
serves are not actually reserves at all,
because they are not disable under all
circumstances.
An imperative need in this country is
concentration OF reserves, either in re
gional associations or in central insti-
tuition, as may be deemed best; and a
rediscount market for commercial pa
per. These are needed for the protec-
ton OF our manufacturers.

.soof Preliminary Continued.

Upon motion Of W. S. Nelson, Of
counsel for the defense, the prelimin-
ary hearing in the several charges
a-ainst Mr.. w. P. Roof for obtaining
money under false pretense while he
was president and cashier Of the Lex
iiIgton Savings Bank, was continued
until future day, on Monday. There
Was no objection on the part of the
State, Col. E. L. Asbill, Of Leesville.
who is aiding in the prosecution, agree
ing to continuance.
When the case was called by Mag
istrate Thos. L. Harman on Monday
Mr.. Nelson stated to the court that
the defense would ask for a contin-
uance upon The ground that the
affairs Of Mr.. Roof were still in the
hands of the federal court and that in
justice to all parties, both the state
and the defendant, he thought that
the cases should be continued. He
stated that until the report of the
trustees of the estate of Mr.. Roof had
made their report it would be impossi-
BILE to tell to what extent, if any, the
parties bringing the charges had been
losers, and, further, he thought that
the cases should rest until the defend
ant had received his discharge from
the bankruptcy court.
In reply, Mr.. Asbill, for the State,
said that he had no objection to the
continuance; that it would be impossi-
BILE for the State to proceed anyway
without the presence of John j. Earle,
referee in bankruptcy, W. H. Town
send, one of the trustees who was ap-
pointed receiver for the defunct bank,
and B. J. Rhame, state bank examiner,
all of whom we're important witnesses
for the state.
The promised preliminary attracted
a great many people to the court house,
nearly every section of the county be-
ing represented in the court room.
Many came as witnesses, while others
came as interested spectators.
Messrs. w. S. Nelson and Lawson
D. Melton, of Columbia, were present
at the hearing on behalf of the de-
fense. Col. E. L. Asbill, of Leesville,
represented the state Solicitor Geo.
Bell Zimmerman was present but
took no part in the proceedings other
than to confer with Attorney Asbill.
The cases now go over until the affairs
OF Mr.. Root have been fully reported
upon.

Robbery at Parr Shoals

Three highwsymen, alleged to have
been disguised with blackenetl faces,
Friday Afternoon robbed three officials
of the J. G. White Engineering COM
pany of over $4,000 near the Parr
Shoals station. j. G. Joyner, deputy
sheriff, was slightly wounded.
The money was sent out from the
National Loan and Exchange bank Of
Columbia on Southern passenger train
No. 13, of the Columbia and Spartan
burg division, which is due at Parr
Shoals at 2:19 p. M, and was address
ed to J. T. McLellen, superintendent
of the J. G. White Construction COM
pany.
The money had been receipted for
by H. w. Mahar. the cashier. A few
minutes later as he, with Fred Built
man and J. O. Joyner, Fairfield coun-
ty deputy, we're on their way to the
offices of the company, they were con-
fronted by three white men, each arm
ed with two reyolvers.
Deputy Joyner hesitated to raise his
hands and reached for his pistol. AS
he did so he was shot, receiving pain
full though not serious flesh wound in
the thigh. Three other shots we're
fired, it is said, but these went wild.
After the holdup the robbers dash.
ed across the railroad and into the
woods on the east side Of the track.
The entire plant of the construction
company was shut down that the men
might assist in securing the woods.
AS the robbers passed the station j.
A. Hancock, the camp boss, attempted
to intercept them.> He was fired upon
three times, none of the shots hitting
him.
A reward of $500 has been proffered
for their apprehension and proof srffi-
cient to conviction. Searches by
posses in every swamp, wood and Sec
tion have proved futile up to this writ
ing.

Lexington Fair TO Be The
Biggest And Best Ever.

For the largest and most successful
fair n the history Of the Lexington
County Fair association OF October Il,
p and %, every prospect p)eases. Mc.
Thos L. Harman, general supe!inten-
dent OF the association, is bending
every energy to make the coming fair
surpass all previous efforts.
General Superintendent Harman is
in communication with the Barney
Smith Shows, one OF the best attrac-
tions in the country, and it is expect
ed that the attractions will outclass
anything ever seen in this section.
1.-THE people Of Lexington are show-
ing their enthusiasm as never Defcre,'
said Superintendent Harman today,
land I am very much eiated over the
prospects for the coming annual meet
ing" Continuing he said, 1.-The mer-
chants and business men Of Lexington
have all offered special premiums, all
of which will be announced in due
time. Likewise, the people of Colum-
bia are becoming very much interested
in our fair this year, and many extra
premiums will be offered by business
houses of that city,
There will be many special features
this year, and every day will be a b.,n-
ner day. Many premiums have been
offered in the field crop department
and in the boys' corn growing contest,
which will create considerable interest.
The officers Of the association are:

Court Convenes Monday.

The fall term of the Court of Gen.
eral Sessions for Lexington county
will convene Monday morning at 10
O'Clock with the Hon. John S. Wilson,
of Manning, judge presiding. There
will doubtless be the heaviest docket
that has faced a court III several terms
due largely to the fact that the sum-
mer term was cut short On account OF
the busy season on the farm and many
cases were carried over to the fall
session. However, the lawbreakers
have Tot been idle, and Sheriff Miller
has been 10 less active il bringing
vio]ators cf the law TO justice. There
are nearly 20 prisoners iG jall at pres
ent and this number will most likely
be supplemented before the end Of the
week
There are FIVE murder cases to be
tried, two of which are white and
three negroes. The most important
of these will be the case Of Levi
Gunter, white, charged with the shoot
ing to death of his cousin, Lester
Gunter, during the early part Of this
year. Tie case has been continued
for two terms and it is certain that it
will be called for trial next week
unless something unforeseen develops.
Both parties belong to the most prom
inent families of the Steedman settle
ment, and many witnesses will appear
en- behalf of both the State and the
defense. Able counsel will represent
both sides, and strong legal battle
will be waged.
The case of Grover Shull, the 16.
year-old school boy, who is charged
with the murder of Harvey Long, his
school-mate, several weeks ago, will
be tried during the term, it is said.
This tragedy occurred near the home
of the parents of the dead boy, and at
the time it was generally believed to
have been an accident, and this will
be the plea of the defense. Both fam
lies are we'll known residents of the
Hollow Greek section, and the homl-
eide was very much deplored.
Fred Jackson, negro, will be tried
for murder, it being alleged that he
killed Fred Summers, another negro
at Chaplin, sometime during the winter
Monroe Williams, the negro, who it
is alleged shot and killed Mack Hill,
another negro, at the saw-miil Of Mr.
D. B. Raw! near Lexington about
month ago, IS still in Jail and his case
will have to be disposed Of.
Zellie Smith, negro, who is charg
ed with the killing CT Willie Bouk-
night, another negro, in the Dutch
Fork some weeks ago. will be tried

~ C0RR may SET new RECORD FOR
! ~ RAFTING "A DURING PRESENT SEASON

There have been two players who
hated above 400 on three occasions of
their careers but none ever took an
average of 400 or better three seasons
running. The two who accomplished
the feat in three separate years were
Ross Barnes, of Chicago, and Jess Bur
kett, of Cleveland and st. Louis. Barnes
hit above 400 in 1872, 1878, and 1876;
Burkett did it in 1895, 1896 and 1899,
Each player hit better than. 400 two
years in succession and then failed TO
achieve that mark again until three
years later.
Of the players still in the game only
four have ever hit 400 in one season.
They are Tyrus Cobb, Joe jackson,
Larry Lajoie and Fred Clarke. 1t will
probably be a number of years befol e
another player has the opportunity
that confronts Cobb this summer
hitting 400 three seasons in row.
Ty had batting slump early in
June, and this pulled his average below
the 400 mark. 1t was his ambition to
bat 500 this year, and for while he
was betting the ball above that figure.
There was lingering hope that Cobb
could realize his ambition, as he rare
ly hit well at the season opening new
Ier striking his stride until the middle
of summer. With the early spring sea-
son seeing him above 500 the dope,
based on past performances, argued
we'll that he should at least keep up
that clip during the summer.
Ty says it was lucky for him that
he hit we'll early in the season because
his chances would now be slim had he
hit in April and May as he ordinarily
did. However, he is not worrying, for.
according to Cobb, batter hits the
downward path as soon as ne begins
worrying about his hitting. He also is
of the opinion that pitching in the
American league this season is several
points better than in years past and
that getting four hits out of every ten
times up is a greater task than it has
been in the preceding two years.

STREAKY GAME WAS FINLLAY
Won BY The WAYCROSS TEAM
enInn;no Contest Pulled OFF, in Which Little Bit of
Everything Happened-Sorrell Made Bad Debut
Atmosphere Was Very Scrappy.

A streaky game which included ev
erything from scrap to a strike-oGt
was landed by the Waycross team here
yesterday in the last game of the Sc
ries. The final score, which was not
secured until an extra inning had been
played, was to in favor of the
visitors.
Sorrell opened up on the mound fo'
the locals, but with an error, base on
balls and a hit batter, he was soon in
not water, with the bases intoxicated
A triple cleaned up the bases, with
three runs to the credit of the visit
ors. Pratt went to the rescue and re
tired the side with only one additional
score.
Pratt pitched excellent ball, easily
outclassing wild Bilr' Clark, who
twirled for the visitors Werner went in
bat for Pratt in the ninth, on account
of the fact that Pratt was. lame
throughout the game from recent
injury to his ankle. Werner of course,
twirled the last inning of the game
after the score had been tied in the
ninth. Altogether these pitchers YIELD
ed far fewer hits to the Waycross team
than did Clark to the locals as Clark
was touched up in lively fashion dur
ing the first part of the game and
weakened perceptibly near the close.
Some shady playing marred the
game very much, both teams being
guilty of it. The war clouds first
started brewing in the fifth, when
Reilly in scoring ran into Coveney with
unnecessary roughness, having SHOW
ed the visiting catcher after he STRUCK
him. This created q bad feeling which
manifested itself several times later,
matters having reached a climax near
the close of the game, when Manches-
ter resented the roughness with which
Jordan ran into him at home plate in
an attempt to score An altercati On
arose between the two which resulted
in Manchesters being bowled Over
and almost put to sleep by a quick
right hook to the right jaw, delivered
by the Waycross player before Man
chester knew what had struck him.
This caused another mix-up, while
the crowd called Justify for Jordan to
be put out of the game and locked up.
Some of the bleacherites followed the
policemen into the Enclosure and for a
time things looked extremely squall ,.
Jordan was fined and put out OF the
game. If the remarks attributed TO
Manchester were really said by him, he
got exactly what he deserved when tn
Waycross player biffed him on the
jaw All of the scrapprng, however,
served to mar what would nave other
wise been, with the exception of the
first inning, an enjoyable game. Ia
the tenth it seemed that plucky ba--
ting rally by the locals would give
them a run, but the run was not
forthcoming.
