What ring favorite, or for that

Today the winners swagger
down the street with hat and cane

eyes. Tomorrow they're buns.
OF course there are exceptions,
but they only emphasize the rule.
Their parasites make them so.
Fighters. promoters, referees,

AUGUSTA. Ca, March 16. -
Brooklyn seems, at first glance
almost hopeless as a National
league pennant contender. The
surprise Is to find the training
camp of the Dodgers full of hope
and enthusiasm and with a spirit
that has existed In a Brooklyn
team only once In the last decade,
and that for short time last
year.
Probing more deeply into the
makeup of the Dodgers, one is
surprised to find that 1t has the
framework of a pennant winning
team. Given consistent pitching,
a shortstop. and Brooklyn looms
up as one of the pennant con.
tenders. Man for man today with
pitchers eliminated), Brooklyn
has stronger team than the
Giants.
Shortstop looks like the weak
est spot on the team. Joe Tinker,
lost by Ebbetts' tinkering, would
have made the team look much
stronger. Neither Egan nor Cut

SESSION MAY COST $4,000.
II This Were Put in "Buy-a-Bale'
Plan it Would Buy Many Bales.

Columbia, Sept. 2S.-The extra
session of the general assembly that
is called to meet here next Tuesday,
October 6, is going to have difficult
road to travel. If the members &C
cept pay they are liable to be criti-
cised and if they do not they are ex-
pected to spend their good money
and then perhaps do no real good.
1t will be interesting to note that
the actual payments to the mem
bers and employees of the general
assembly last year for one session
aggregated s61,334.94. This is for
salaries, mileage and employees of
the assembly and does not include
printing or consequential expendi-
lures. Of this $61,33494 more than
half was used for the pay Of mem
bers- Under the terms Of the law
members and senator's are paid a
fiat salary of $500 and mileage.
There are 124 members of the house,
which, exclusive of mileage. amounts
to s24,S0O, and for the senate the
pay is $500.
Suppose this money were all put
into a "buy-a-bale" movement; it
would purchase many a bale and
1t is safe to figure a session of the
general assembly, if all accept pay,
at $4,000, covering printing.
Impossible to Forecast.
No one can even speculate on what
the general assembly will undertake
to do and in this connection it is to
be noted that when the governor
called the extra session he reserved
the right to recall the proclamation
if conditions changed.
1t is stated that the governors of
Georgia and North Carolina have de-
clined to call extra sessions on the
ground that individual State action
will be of no avail in the general
crisis.
There is a general desire to help
the farmers. 'Eiuy-a-bale" move
ments have done much good, but the
flood Of cotton is being sold at ruin
Gus prices, largely because of the
knowledge that there is such large
stock in reserve.

SUMTER BANK TELLER SHORT.
E. II. Rhame, Jr., of the Bank of
Sumter Embezzles $3t, ,759.O1.

Sumter Sept. 26.-Rumors that
there was a shortage in the accounts
of one of the employees of the Bank
of Sumter were confirmed today by
officers of the bank. E. H. Rhame,
Jr., teller, was found by accountants
making the annual audit to be short
$31,759.01. His family and friends
Immediately took steps that will pro-
tect the bank fully, and the institu-
ton will not suffer. The bank has a
capital of 100000 and surplus of
$4,000.
Expressions of regret are heard on
all sides, as Mr.. Rhame, who is only
23 years of age, was capable and
efficient young man, we'll liked. His
trouble is looked on as the result of
bad judgment in business deals more
than from any intent to defraud.
The officers of the bank gave out
the following official statement:
AN examination Of the accounts
of the Bank of Sumter by expert ac-
countants has disclosed shortage in
the accounts of the teller, whose con-
nection with the bank was severed
yesterday. The bank is amply pro-
tected and will suffer no loss through
this unfortunate defalcation.
