ginning to consider reorganization of
their various lines of business to con
form to the S-hour day law. which
seems certain to pass at the fall cleo

The proposition is an iniative meas

at ALL by popular vote, without
awaiting action by the legislature.
Sentiment apparently is strongly in
its favor. Il was estimated that fully

WILMINGTONIANS
ANSWER LETTER

Although assured by many that he
was making a mountain out OF a mole
hill when he first drew attention TO
what he considered abuses that were
creeping into amateur golf, Robert
{ Watson. president Of the United
States Golf Association, has now
found justification for his action in
the sentiment expressed by the clubs
which so far have answered his let
ter. II may be many weeks before
even q majority of all the clubs in
the association send in replies, but
Che answers so far received show the
clubs are likely TO be right behind
Mr.. Watson in his eifon to keep the
amateur side Of the game clean. The
points raised by Mr.. Watson we're as
follows;
/ Amateur golf players are and
have been asking and receiving cash
remuneration for laying out golf
courses. critcising same and making
changes in their present physical
construction.
2. Amateur golf players are and
have been accepting cash remunera-
fion for writing articles In news
papers. explaining in detail how TO
play certain shots.
8. Amateur golf players are and
have been accepting free board and
travelling expenses from hotels, &C,
10 play IN tournaments and exhibition
matches. In order 10 add to the in
fercst IN the events for advertising
purposes.
A. Amateur golf players are and
have been accepting and-using exclu-
sively for advertisement purposes
p free of charge. certain makes of golf
halls and golf clubs and other golf
articles.
So far only forty-fve clubs have
considered Mr. Watson's letter. The
analysis shows twenty-eight OF these
believe all four paragraphs constitute
Professionalism, seven clubs that all
hut one paragraph constitute profess
sionalism. six clubs that two Of the
paragraphs constitute professional
ism and four clubs that the present
bylaw Is adequate.

Opposition to Williams.

We shall wait to who the senators are
who will oppose the nomination of John Skel-
ton Williams comptroller Of the currency
before giving opinion as to what the oppo-
stion will amount to. The Observer some days
ago said such trouble is brewing. The obJec-
ton is likely to be voiced by of the Re-

who have never had much love for Mr.. Will

proper man for the place the recom1nen dation
will meet with opposition Of serious kind The
faction that has any show of defeating man

Collector Mule Goes Shopping.

The department store Of Terry and Shaffer
was the scene of quite sensation one day
last week when a mule came to the front door
pushed it open and entered the store. 1t is
said that some of the clerks made q hastS
retreat from the front of the store, and it APP
peared that of the clerks were anxious
to supply the demands Ct the mule fer a peek
OF oats. This occurring about dinner time.
the inference Is that this mule began to feel
the pangs Of hunger and decided enter Terry
and Skaters store and purchase his noon
tide meal.
-After lengthy deiberation as to ways and
means of removing the aforesaid unwelcome
customer the efficient clerks succeeded in entic-
ing his mueship from the store without any
damage having been done. The mule turned
in very narrow space between two plate glass
showcases, and both the showcases and the
persons in charge of the removal of the mule
miracuously escaped injury.-!Walterboro Press
