yesterday afternoon, 16 to 2. The
game was a regular slug-fest for the
Yorkville boys as they hit the ball
whenever they wanted to. S. Finley

We do not believe that the failure
or the refusal Of Ward 2 club to elect
F. H. Dominick delegate to the county
convention was intended in any way
as a refusal or failure to endorse him
as a candidate for congress. In the
election of delegates, the lines were
drawn rather as for and against the
administration. It would have been a
very gracious act on the part OF this
club to have laid aside factional feel
ing and sent Mr. Dominick to the
county convention, and 1t would have
been the proper thing to do.-New-
berry Herald and News.
Ordinarily the capture Of club or
ganization is no great achievement. 1t
Is merely matter Of getting enough
people to leave their various employ
ments for an hour or such matter,
and agree to follow a floor leader OF
sufficient knowledge and experience to
carry out a fixed programme. If Mr.
Dominick had any idea of disposition
to prevent his election to the county
convention, and had he cared to go to
that convention he would have had the
CluD OTBdHiZtu Nv aSSoluo''So "t'' h'S
own notions. There Is no reasonable
doubt of his ability to have done just
that If he had so desired. What the
object Of the club was In refusing or
neglecting to elect him delegate, we
do not know; but we are Of opinion
that If the club refused to elect in the
knowledge that Mr.. Dominlck really
desired to go to the convention, we
are inclined to think that 1t played
very poor politics. and made more
votes for Mr.. Dominick than 1t lost
for him. At guess, however, we
would suggest that Mr.. Dominick had
no real desire to attend the county
convention.

Spartanburg Herald: As we enter
the state campaign ahead Of South
Carolina, why not do so in a spirit Of
peace and harmony that will mean
progress along the many lines our af-
fairs should move? South Carolina
SHOULD be up and doing In construc-
tive way and this coveted condition
cannot come with vantage rather
than for the public good. Let's move
along constructive lines, supporting
good men for office, who have In their
hearts, and cherish as their aims, the
welfare Of the state, its martial pro-
gress, its social purity and the educa-
ton and enlightenment Of the people
generally. That Is absolutely the only
safe course. Our country Is headed In
that direction and that is the way We
a,e going. We have learned that there
Is nothing in pickering and abuse; we
know that the rights Of the people suf-
fer when only q faction has q voice in
the administration Of this state gov
ernment We have at this time the
opportunity to start the next cam
paign without bitterness, keeping be-
fore us that, as South Carolinians, we
are all in the same boat and that
whatever the cause, when progress Is
not made we all suffer. South Caro-
lima should enter upon a policy OF
constructive progress contemplating
better educational facilities, the i'm
provement of our highways. the
drainage and reclamation Of our
swamp lands, the advancement Of bet
ter agricultural methods and the de-
velopment Of our resources in every
way. A state government with such a
programme may accomplish great
things within a short while, and now
is the time to lift up before the people
these as the essential things to be
striven for.
For greater South Carolina should
be the cry.

Orangeburg Times and Democrat:
No one is very much surprised at the
verdict of the Spartanburg jury, which
Monday afternoon found Clyde Glenn
ent guilty Of the murder Of the infant
child, which he and Fleda Pendleton
were jointly charged with numbering,
after its illegal birth. The jury be-
lieved the girls story, and fixed the
guilt upon the young man, although
1t recommended him to mercy. We
believe the same verdict would have
been returned, had the case been tried
elsewhere. This is the last public act
Of the tragedy which stirred the Pied
mont section since the last part OF
January. More than the baby's life
has been lost. for neither the future
existence of Clement, or Of the girl,
will be valued after the deep tragedy
which occurred just at the beginning
Of their real lives. The girl, and her
family; the boy, and his family, have,
all suffered; and no one can estimate
the sorrow caused by the wickedness
they committed.

beautiful models now to be seen and,
unquestionably. more will follow.
There will be no difficulty whatsoever
in being both smart and distinguished
Let us hope that the really few who
are unwise enough to copy the outre
models will not succeed in vulgarizing
what is good.
Such wonderfully beautiful costumes
as we are seeing that exploit the
redingote and the basque ideas are
really replete with interesting and
fascinating suggestions. Any woman
who is looking ahead to the early
autumn may safely take them as
guides. At a nearby resort was met,
for example, a toilette consisting Of a
plain, moderately close skirt of char
meuse satin with a long plated tunic
Of silk crepe and a kimono blouse
of the same with a waistcoat of ivory
satin with a little chemisette within of
tulle. The blouse and tunic both
were open at the front to reveal a
waistcoat which was held by three
large buttons of the material. The
three-quarter sleeves were wide and
finished with deep, rolled-over cuffs.
At the back of the neck, the blouse was
finished with a high turned wei collar
of satin and the color of the collar and
the color of the skirt was a rich, warm
brown while the blouse and tunic were
of a pale yellowish shade that har-
monized to perfection.
In some of its latest variations, the
basque has become a most attractive
garment that combines ideally with
lace, with chiffon and with similar
fabrics. One of the prettiest costumes
noted at a recent outdoor fete was made
with a sleeveless basque of charmeuse
satin with sleeves and tunic of white
silk richly embroidered to give a border
effect. The tunic and sleeves were
white and there was an underskirt Of
white silk while the embroidery showed
shades of violet and the basque one of
these colors. On the edge of the tunic,
there was a band of charmeuse satin
and the long, close sleeves were finished
with wide double frills of tulle that ex-
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1914-10-06

tended upward over the sleeves and
downward over the hands and were
held at the center with little folded
bands. The V-shaped neck was COM
pleted by plated ruche of the tulle that
was arranged across the back and ex-
tended a little over the shoulders but
by no means to the edge of the opening.
The buttons were of the material
embroidered. Embroideries, as have
been mentioned in previous letters, are
to have great vogue as trimming of the
autumn and silk threads, metal threads,
beads and jewelled sequins are to be
employed.
While we are very largely taken up
by consideration of the basque, the
redingote and the long tunic, there are
really fascinating developments of the
draped skirt being worn by the most
fashionable women and some of the
visiting costumes are exquisite in their
treatment. A beautiful one, for ex-
ample. is made of the soft taffeta that
is such a favorite in a wonderful shade
of amethyst and consists of a grace
fully draped skirt with soft burnous
folds over the hips and a little bolero
coat, the fronts of which are oddly
shaped and extended to be crossed at
the front and to form a sash at the
back. This coat is made with bell
shaped kimono sleeves and all it's edges
are embroidered with heavy silk floss
with just a little intermingling of
silver. As seen yesterday, the coat
was worn with a gimpe Of fine white
organdie with a aaring collar and "
shaped neck and long white gloves
while the hat was a modified sailor Of
white satin with a straw brim and
simple trimming of feathers on the
Paradise order.
When n can turn from the con-
temptation Of the beautiful, graceful
skirts and the charming developments
of the basque, the wonderful embroid-
cries and fascinating materials, the
question of the sash looms up as i'm
portant. The newest to be seen with
dainty summer gowns, those made of
organdie and similar materials, are of
ribbon with picot edges and with roses
embroidered or embossed upon them
and they are tied with wide loops at the
front, back or sides, almost as a matter
of course being drawn down wei the
hips, for in these days the waist and
hips must appear of one size whatever
variations of other ideas may be found.
Not infrequently plain ribbon is en-
broidered on the ends and, for the
embroidery, flower designs are used in
combinations of silk with metal threads
or silk with beads and such embroidery
weights the sash efectually at the same
time that it serves for ornamentation.

THE FALL SEASON FROM PRE-
SENT INDICATIONS DENOTES NO
RADICAL CHANGES FROM THE
PRESENT FASHIONS.
Long TUNES and Plated Skirts with Basques
the Feature of Fall Styles.

4 S commonly is the case at this
~ season, all sorts of rumors are
abroad but it seems fairly we'll
established that there will be no
radical changes from the latest fash
ions. Deauville and similar resorts
may always be taken as fair indica-
tions of what is to come and long tunics
and plated skirts with basques and
redingotes in many variations and
capes developed in numberless ways
may fairly be said to be features.
OF course, there are extremes ex-
plotted. Perhaps some day women
on this side Of the sea will realize that
French dress-makers are exceedingly
clever in the matter of advertisement
as in other things and that a great
many costumes that are exploited by
agents at the races and in various ways
are not designed nor expected to be
taken seriously by women Of dignity
and refinement but only to exploit
their makers and perhaps to catch the
eye of the women who are bent upon
self display. One of the cleverest of
the Partisan writer's on the subject
asserts: "The distinguished French
woman eve goes to extremes in dress
in her own country, no more than do
distinguished women elsewhere follow
cuts and modes exploited by others of a
certain world" 1t is a thousand
pities that we permit ourselves to be so
easily led astray and that 80 many
absurd and fashy modes are accepted
and exploited. It would be we'll to
remember the wisdom of the sentence
quoted above and to look askance upon
costumes that bear the stamp Of ques-
tionable propriety. When we read of
a costume of chiffon cloth owe a skirt
of lace embroidered with silver threads
which is so transparent as to allow the
figure to be clearly seen through its
meshes, we would do we'll to remember
that surely it was not one of the Pari-
sian grandes danes upon whom it was
seen and we ought to have the discre-
ton to discriminate for ourselves even
as women of place on the other side are
wont to do. There are a great many

commend them. The cape, the basque
and the tunic may, in a general way.
be said to be the prevailing features
but they take many variations and
they are so many tendencies to be noted
that no generalization can possibly
cover them all.
The tunic costume shown at the
extreme left is an assured favorite.
The long tunic that flares generously
at its lower edge and the double coat
both are fascinating. In the illustra-
ton. gabardine is combined with
velvet and that combination is one Of
the best liked and smartest. The

VELVET M T ARE
EXTENSIVELY USED IN
COMB
WITH N
ABRIC

10th the velvets and the satins of
the season are wonderfully beau
tiful, soft and lustrous, taking
exquisite folds and presenting an effect
Of light and shadow that in itself is
fascinating. They will be much worn
in combination with plain and fancy
materials and fancy materials are Of
silk, silk with wool. and silk with
cotton, for today cotton makes an
important material at all seasons of
the year and can be dyed to as beauti-
full colors, made into as beautiful
cloths as silk and wool.
At the left Of the picture, there is
shown a gown of silk and wool crepe
with charmeuse satin and with collar
and cuffs of white poplin. The plated
tunic and the long plain basque and the
combination of materials all mark
essential features but there is not a
costume shown this season that could
not be varied almost indefinitely by
change of color or change of fabric.
In the second costume is shown a
plated tunic Of plain crepe with a
basque and under skirt of one of the
new satins that is slightly more lus-
trous than charmeuse and the color
matches the skirt. It is charmingly
graceful and attractive and besides
showing one of the best and latest
modes it makes a practical suggestion
for women who are seeking to remodel
last seasons gowns. Any two materi-
ais that are harmonious can be used
in just this way and the contrasts are
found in different fabrics Of the same
color and in plain and fancy fabrics,
new ones including stripes and figures
and plaids without number.
The cape blouse makes the feature Of
the third costume and the cape blouse
is one of the important novelties of the
autumn. This one is quite simple for
the cape which falls straight at the
back and terminates in little points
under the collar at the front. The
tunic is a aaring, circular one and it'and
the skirt beneath are both finished with
overlapped edges at the front. The
wide sash is simple and straight,
swathed around the figure and finished
with a bow at the back. In the pic
ture, fancy silk is combined with the
new light weight velvet and with a cape
of lace.
Stripes always IAN be made to trim
themselves if effectively used and the
basque costume shown at the right
illustrates that point most successfully.
