Endorsed at Home.
Such Proof as This Should Con-
vince Any AbbeVille Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thoroughly
convinced or he would not do 30.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the public good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Abbeville adds one more to the
many ca,es of Home Endorsement
which are being published about
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.
J. 8. Gilbert, Abbeville, s. c., says:
N"For six years T suffered from
kidney complaint. The worst
trouble was a constant, dull pain
in the small of my back. l tired
easily, felt languid and was cub
ject t o headaches and q blurring of
my sight. The secretions from
my kidneys were too frequent in
passage and I was obliged TO get up
during the night. Learning of

ply. They relieved me from the
first and I continued taking them
until I was completely cured"

Last Sunday, Easter was observed In

bad time of the year, in the absence OF
lighthouses, to secure floral decorations for
such an occasion. The pastor gave q we'll

should it be thought a thing incredible

Monday to determine as to the needed
town standard bearers. At an election
held only a short time before only one
councilman, Mr.. R. H. Moseley was elect

the town tangle may be Strengthened out.

SERIOUS BUSINESS
ALSOFOR MOGULS
Important Matters Due
for Consideration at Meet
ings Today.
TAFT EXPECTED TO ATTEND

Behind the cloak of the welcome
being extended today to the returned
world-touring Giants and the White
Sox more serious matters having to
do with plans for war against the
new Federal League occupied the at
tention of the men high in the coun-
ellis of organized baseball.
At the National League meeting
final disposition of the EVers case
was expected to be announced during
the day. The report that Charles
7. Taft, who purchased the holdings
of Charles W. Murphy In the Chicago
Cubs, was expected to arrive in town
during the day to treat with would
be purchasers, added interest to what
action the National League directors
would take with reference to the
future ownership of the Chicago club.
The vacancy on the directorate caused
by the retirement of Murphy was
another matter for consideration.
An informal meeting of the Ma
tional Commission was also said to
be one of the chief features of the
day. The members of the commits
sion-President Tener, of the Ma
tional League; President Johnson, of
the American League. and Garry
Hermann, the chairman-are in New
York. The commission it is said, has
taken over the management of the
fight against Federal League inva-
sion. and today the supreme court of
organized baseball Is expected to
hold conferences with officials Of the
minor league organizations in New
York to join in the welcome to the
returning tourists.
The stand taken by Ban Johnson of
war to the finish against the Fed
eral League indicated today that the
head of the American League intended
to call National League club owners
and officials to account for dickering
with the so-called outlaws over play
ers who. 1t is alleged. have violated
contracts or ignored accepted terms.
The meeting yesterday of William L.
Baker, of the Philadelphia club, and
James Gaffney. of the Boston club
with President Gilmore for this pur-
pose was denounced by President
Johnson in no uncertain terms.

About a year ago the veteran dia-

it has become his favorite pastime.
However, having been a professional
ball player. he was not eligible to
compete as an amateur golfer, and it
was necessary for him to be rein
stated as such before he could COM

Arson claimed that he had the right
to amateur privileges. and consent
was readily given by mail vote of

LOCAL BOYS SEEK
AMATEUR TITLES
State Boxing Championship
Tourney at Turn Verein At
tracts Many Newark Entries.
KRUG'S CHANCES ARE LIKED

The local clubs are planning to
make a great effort to land the cham
pionship titles, which are at stake, at
the New Jersey State amateur boxing
tournament, which will be conducted.
under the auspices of the National
Turn Verein, at their clubhouse, on
Bruce street, tomorrow and Monday
evenings.
The Puritan A. c.. under the direc-
tion of Manager James McGreeyy,
has been turning out some very good
boxers of late, and will have at least
one entry in each class. The members
feel confident that several of the en-
tries will annex titles. One of them
especially, Joseph Burns. who will
fight at lis pounds, is touted as a sure
winner, as he has won the last two
tournaments at the Turn Verein.
Mick O'Gara is another member of
the Puritans who is looked upon to
carry off honors in the 10s-pound di-
vision.
The Turner's will have several men
competing, and they feel that young
Philip Krug will easily annex the
honors in the 10s-pound class. The
Roneitch A. c. will also have several
boys competing, and of these John
McDuff will bear watching.
Nearly every club in Newark Will
be represented by at least one COM
petitor, and there will be about fifty
entries alone from Newark, and the
followers of the game will get their
fill.of action.
The immediate suburbs will also be
very strongly represented. as the st,
Mlchael's A. c., of Orange, has sent
in six entries, and the Mercury A, c..
of the same place, will have four.
Harrison and Kearny will each have
several boxers who will attempt to

FEDS TURN DOWN
PEACE OVERTURES.
Organized and Outlaw Baseball
Men Fail TO Reach Agree
ment at Meeting.
SEATON FOR KILLER

Organized and OUTLAW baseball
met at the Waldorf Astoria in New
York yesterday. and after a pro-
traeted confab, during which each
tried to convince the other that 1t
was in the right, the rival forces
withdrew without reaching any
agreement and more at odds than
ever.
William f. Baker, of Philadelphia
Nationals, and James L. Gaffney. of
the Boston Braves, represented the
organized" forces, while James A.
Gilmore, president of the Federal
League. and Edward e. Gates, attor-
ney for the new league, represented
the Outlaws" The meeting was ar
ranged by Baker, at whose invitation
Gilmore and his colleague were pres
emit
Pitchers Seaton and Quinn and
Catcher Killifer were the subjects
of the discussion between the rival
parties. Mcssrs. Baker and Gaffney
endeaVored to prove that organized
baseball was entitled to Seaton and
Quinn. and produced Voluminous cor
respondence TO prove their assertion.
The bespectacled head of the out
AelNo was eoifu ltiS hPHta up - - Et'N
and merely replied in his bland voice.
How about IIillifer2'
Evidently Baker and Gaffney were
not prepared TO eXpound on How
about Klllifer?" and after some more
strained but courteous discussion Gill
more supplemented: 1T we agree to
turn back Seaton to the Philadelphia
Club will you consent to allow Kill
fer to return to the Federal Lacquer"
This was a staggerer TO Baker, and
be admitted that he could not enter
into any such agreement with Gill
more; that under the reserve clause
Catcher Killifer belonged to the Phil
adeiphia Club, Gilmore retorted that
his league did not respect the re-
serve clause and would continue sign
ing major league players not under
contract.
When Ban Johnson, president OF
the American League. heard that
Baker and Gaffney had held a meet
ing with Gilmore he was "hot under
the collar" and did not mince his
words in abiding to the eonfab.
"I don't favor these confabs," said
Johnson. "If the National League
has the idea that it is going to bring
about a peace meeting then we will
call off negotiations. The Federal
League must be exterminated, and
there can be no peace until such a
thing happens.
