Bill Collins, who took care of right
field, was in fine fettle when it came
to swinging the stick with telling ef-
feet in the first encounter. Bill col
lected three average boosters-all nice
clean hits-two of them for doubles.
In the first inning Hi Myers, also
there with the rod, showed a single to
centre and stole second base. Col
Inns followed with a double that
scored HI. There was nothing doing
from that time until the third. Bal
timore then cut loose on Holmquist
and when the smoke cleared away
had registered eight runs. Gleich-
mann came to bat and was presented
with a travelling bag by his Irving
ton admirers. He then flied to CEN
tire. Egan doubled to deep left and
Ruth walked. Capron also drew a
pass filling the bases. Holmquist
then frightened up and famed
Twombley. It looked easy but Mid
kiff, the supposedly weak sticker of
the flock, swatted a safety to centre,
scoring Egan and Ruth.

Death Of Mat. w. A. Evans.

Dc1su OI MSys W. As EVANS
Died at his home at Hornsboro,
Major william Augustus Evans, at
about ESQ a. m, Sunday morning,
August End, in the eighty-second year
of his age.
Although he had been in failing
health for several years, the news Of
his death was received with sorrow
by his many friends. His death has
brought the bitter cup Of sorrow to
the lips of his friends and relatives.
His was a heart of gold. He was one
Of natures noblemen in its truest
sense-brave, generous, manly. His
was the soul of honor, and his friends
and friendships were sacred to him.
There was daily beauty about his
life which won every heart. In tenn
permanent he was mild. conciliatory
and candid; and yet remarkable for
an uncompromising hrmness.
In his death life that has been
prominent in the affairs of the county
for q long time was ended. He was
born and raised near White Plains this
county, and made his home there un-
til a few years after the war, when
he moved to Hornsboro and there
spent the remainder of his life.
Maj. Evans served the full four
vars in the Civil War. He was first
lieutenant in the Chesterfield Ligat
Artillery, known as ]. C. Colts battery
He ably represented Chea.e-field
county in the South Carolina General
Assembly in the seventies. He was
the last of the charter memhars Of
Mt .Moriah lodge Of Masons, and the
sword HE carried dhring the war
is still in the ossession of the lodge.
He was twice married, the hrst
time to Miss Annie Hennegan, of
Marlboro county. No children were
born to this union. The second mar
riage was to Mrs. Willie Poole, Of
Newberry. Mrs. ]. M. Hough, Of
Chesterfield, is the only surviving
daughter of this union.
H was member Of Mt. Moriah Bap-
tist church, and his life bore him out
in his profession. The county, and
especially Hornsboro community, has
lost one of the most active and in
fiuential men that ever resided in It.

1t is understood that the obstacle to an
agreement between the mediators at Niagara
Falls is Il the United Suites objection to the
proposal that President Huerta should
appoint his successor. The United States
refuses to recognize him in any manner or
degree, and as the Constitutionalists also
decline to recognize him, it is useless for
the former to concede the point. The United
States believes that the Constitutionalists
have conquered enough Of Mexico to entitle
them to be considered in any future Gov
eminent and that it is good policy to offer
them inducements to accept the results of
mediation forthwith. 1t has also conceded in
principle that no active revolutionary should
succeed President Huerta, and that a
settlement is impossible unless the next
President is q Constitutionalis s~ympathizer
and also acceptable to President Huerta.
The mediat0rs represent countries which
have not recognized President Huerta,
nevertheless they now favour his nominally
, 1914-06-13

appointing a successor, who, however, would
really be named by others, all Mexican con
stitutional forms being duly observed.
