Masons-E lks Nuptials.

About 500 spectators witnessed
the baseball game of a lifetime
at Sportsman's Park on yester
day friday afternoon wher
the Elks walked all over the Ma
sons to the tune of Is to 6.
Everybody was in good spirits
and outside of Bennett stopping
Bevens' heave to first with the
starboard side of his head, the
the game went off nicely. To the
surprise of many, Ware and Nc
QUESTION umpired the game to
the satisfaction of all. The only
trouble Mac had was with the
ladies he made buy tickets and
to him must go the credit of sell
ing more than everybody else.
Rex is sure some ticket seller.
He is the only man in Newport
who could have worn that uni
form of purple and white with
out getting shot.
For the Masons "Pewee' Dav-
export was the star performer,
while Stallings, Pate, Dowell,
Moon and Mathis all came in for
nice playing at times. For the
Elks it might be said that every
enc of them played good ball,
with one or two bad busts and it
looks as if they are going to
have some team when they play
Russellville in Little Rock next
June. "Dib" Vaughn had the
honor to fan out 20 of the oppos-
ing batsmen.
The Boy Scouts held up the
seat and soda pop end of the
game, while Doc Erwin, Doc
Rossington, Doc Carroll and Doc
Mack held up the rest.
G. Logan III. Crusoe Robinson
was official announcer and any
thing else that he wanted to be.

MEXICANS MAY ATTACK
General Funston At Vera Cruz
And Administration Wants
To Be Prepared.
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. G., May g.
Departmental preparations for
war continued to over-shadow
everything else in the Mexican
situation here today.
Transports are being charter
ed by high officials and the war
department remained at their
desks busy completing plans for
the army movements.
All troops are being held in
readiness for orders for move
cent and the army orders are
ready, needing only the insertion
of destination, command and
the time of Secretary Garrison's
signature.
Despite these significant facts
the administration publicly con-
Ntinues to insist that there is no
change in the situation and that
the mediators will ultimately
bring about peace aided by the
rebel victories.
The army and navy officials
agree that Tampico is in the dam
ger zone and that General Fun
ston may be attacked any NOM
ent by an overwhelming force.
Zapata, the bandit rebel chief,
is preparing to Z attack Mexico
City, according to reports.
President Wilson does not be-
lieve that the Mexicans will
risk nattack on General Fred
erick Funston at Vera Cruz, al
though the government has
chartered five transports and
Secretary of War Garrison is ar
ranging for more.
1t is stated that the navy de-
partment has no intention of
Selling Puerto, Mexico, where a
cargo of munitions has been
landed. A clash is said to have
occurred between SECRETARIES
Garrison and Bryan because the
former wanted to prevent a
landing of the munitions. 1t is

Mr.. Lees Workmanship.

Mr.. Thos. X. Lee. of Birming-
ham. Ala. son of Mr.. d. A.
Lee. of Fort Mill. has gained
much additional notoriety and
many hOnors recently by reason
of his excellent use of the rifle.
The Birmingham News of recent
date had the following in part to
say OF Nh. Lees accomplish
ments:
While much has been said of
7. X. Lees prowess in the rifle
world. no~complete list of his
winnings and record for the past
nine months has been printed.
Few people in Birmingham real
lze the number of men Lee had
to conquer in his recent rifle con-
tests. He has finished high
above anything offered in the
marksman line in the entire
United States. He is recognized
wherever rifle matches are held
as the champion of his country.
The News is the first to publish
his official record for the past
nine months.
In addition to the large num-
Der of gold medals won by him
he has been presented with
numerous rifles by manufacturers
of the kind of gun he uses,
among them being nickel, silver
and gold-plated rifles of elaborate
designs.

School Opens Monday.

Fort Mill Graded School will
open Monday morning, Aug. 81,
at 9 o'clock. 1t is the aim of
the trustees and teachers to
make this the most successful
year in the history of the school.
In order that this may be done,
the interest and cooperation of
every parent is absolutely neces-
sary. We are all sure of making
mistakes, and when one occurs,
come to me personally.
The opening exercises will take
place in the" auditorium of the
school building. Every person
who has the least interest in the
school is invited and urged to
come to these exercises. Let's
let the teachers who are return
ing to US know that we ap-
preciate their past efforts. and
we must show the new teachers
that Fort Mill is interested i'm it's
school. ]. Pierce Coats.

Thousands are Idle.

Fifty thousand men are idle in
New York City as the direct re-
suit of war in Europe, and labor
union officials declare that at
least 250,00 more have been
thrown out of work elsewhere
in the. United States from the
same cause. @
Overseas commerce is at a
stand still. Twelve thousand
sailors, firemen. cooks and stew
ards from freight and passenger
vessels are waiting in New York
without employment. Fifteen
thousand longshoremen have no
wages because no freight is
being handled on the docks. An
equal number of teamsters are
affected. Similar misfortune
has come upon other thousands
in all the small industries con-
nected with shipping.

Japan to War With Germany.

The emperor of Japan Sunday
declared war on Germany. This
action was taken at the ex-
piration of the time limit of
Japan's ultimatum to Germany
demanding the surrender of
Kiao Chow.
The Japanese government or
dered the beginning of opera
tions on land and sea.
The imperial rescript declaring
war on Germany was issued
Sunday evening. 1t officially
inaugurates hostilities in the
Far East as result of Ger
many's failure to reply to the
Japanese ultimatum.
The proclamation of the en-
peror sent a thrill through the
country. Japan's entrance upon
the fulfillment of her obligations
to her ally. Great Britain, re-
sponded to the popular will from
one end of the land to the other.
Chez ring crowds assembled in
Tokyo Sunday before the public
buildings and at night there
were lantern professions through
the streets. The popular mani
festations, however. did not ap-
pro ach the enthusiasm which
preceded the war with Russia.

SOU. POWER COMPANY
WILL AID The FARMERS

The Times is in receipt of the
following letter which explains
itself:
To Ali Rental Agents: In view
to the unprecedented condition
of affairs in the financial and
business world. over which this
country has no control. and the
withdrawal of large foreign buy
ers from the cotton markets of
the South which has already de-
pressed the price of cotton, and
which 1T seems probable will fur
ther depreSS it unless some con-
certed action is taken by the
cotton growers, and to cooperate
with the efforts now being made
by the farmers, merchants and
bankers throughout the country.
as well as the United States gov
ernment, to keep as much cotton
off the market as possible until
the present condition of affairs
may adjust itself, we have adopt
ed the following plan:
We will accept cotton from all
tenants in payment of cash rent
ais or advances at the price pre-
valling at the time and place of
delivery. We will then hold this
cotton and will sell the same at
any time between the date of
delivery and February 1st, 1915,
at the direction of the previous
owner, and will pay the advance
in price, if any, over what the
cotton was taken in at and the
selling price of the cotton to the
previous owner. By this method
all of our tenants will be able to
get the benefit of any rise in
cotton without expense to them
selves and all of this cotton will
be kept off the market until Feb
suary /, 1914.
We desire you to use every eff
fort to further this plan which,
we think. will go far towards re-
lieving the present situation, es-
pecially if generally adopted.
1t is the intention of this COM
lpany to hold all cotton which
comes into it's possession, wheth-
er received as rents, payment for
advances or by purchases, until
the present conditions are re-
lieved.
We recognize the Importance
to the South of obtaining a fair
price for it's cotton and believe
that everyone's duty is to COOP
crate to bring this about.
Yours very truly.

section of Fort Mill township.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Epps' son,

Gold, 2.80 ounces at $40. 67
