A PRETTY ROMANCE.
When Princess Mary Proposed to
Lord Kitchener.

That Lord Kitchener, of khartum,
Secretary of State for war in the
British cabinet, says the Birmingham
Age-Herald. is the only non-royal per-
son to whom royal princess had
ever proposed marriage, was a story
related yesterday by Major E. NJ.
iTutwiler. who was in Europe several
months during the spring.
Lord Kitchener. according to Maj.
Tutwiler, who saw the warrior during
the coronation of King George and
subsequently, is a confirmed bache-
lor. ca years of age and exceedingly
bruseue. He is unpopular among
the people. but is highly regarded as
a general and as loyal Britisher.
Il heard the story told that Prin-
cess Mary had proposed to Lord
Kitchener" said Major Tutwiler. 1T
appears that the little princess is a
hero worshipper and that Kitchener
frequented Buckingham palace on
business and was observed by Prin-
cess Mary frequently. Finally it was
related that Princess Mary proposed
to the great soldier. Being loyal
subject the hero of Khartum was
compelled to inform the queen Of the
situation. Upon being asked why
she did such an unmaidenly thing
the daughter of their majesties re-
marked: 4 knew that as Lord
Kitchener was not Of royal birth that
he could not propose to me so l SIM
ply proposed to him
Il cannot vouch for the authen-
ITCHY Of this story about the man
who is just now so much in the eyes
of the public, but it seemed to be the
subject of conversation for awhile in
England"

Making House and Garden Attractive

Two things that enter largely into
the enjoyment of the breakfast table
at my home are strawberries and
flowers. We are making prepara-
tions that will insure our not running
short on either item. We cannot
have fresh berries throughout the
year so we canning a great deal of
them. We are also canning lots of
tomatoes and fruit. We use the tin
can and the silo for providing food
for man and beast and most of our
work hours from now until cotton
harvest are spent preserving. We
can anything that is good to eat that
We have in our garden and We try to
have everything We like. Canning
with success depends on only two
things: To kill all bacteria present
in the fruit canned, and in the can,
and then to seal 80 no more can en-
ter
Now is the time to trim up your
strawberry patch. We are cutting
all the useless vines and are setting
out the ones we need for crop next
year.
While we cannot can the flowers
that go on our breakfast table yet we
can have them blooming all the year.
We always have several pots of
plants in the kitchen and we seldom
cut them to put on the table in win
ter. Heliotropes, geraniums. bego-
Mas, pinks, verbenas, petunias and a
number of other plants may be res
cued from the summer garden now
to flower in winter In taking up the
old plants. prune back the plant even
two-thirds of its growth. Spade
down around the plant in circle
about the size Of the pot you are 60
ing to put it in. Let remain few
days and then take up and put in the
pot and set the pot down in The hole.
Keep the plants outdoors as long as
possible and when they begin to show
new growth add little liquid man
ure.
In addition to saving old plants we
always propagate a few from cut
tings. BY this method We have the
cuttings coming into bloom about the
time the old plants have quit bloom
ing. One of our favorite plants is
the carnation. We always buy bulls
of this as we want good stock and
the florist can raise better than we
can. Then by buying We get the
latest arieties.-Howard K. Pierce.

MONEY SENT THIS STATE.
S642. 400 Already Shipped, Says
Treasury Department.

Washington, Sept. lI.-Repre-
sentative Lever, as result OF a con-
ference with treasury department Of
ficials concerning the complaints of
South Carolina bankers that they
could not get hold of any emergency
currency. received today letter
from W. P. Malburn. assistant secre-
tary of the federal reserve board. de-
claring that out of thirty-six banks
forming the State Currency associa-
ton twenty-three had applied Tor
emergency currency under the
amended Aldrich-Vreeland act, and
that they have asked for only ST.
3O4,750 of the total of s6.072.O00
available for the national banks of
South Carolina.
Of the applications made $780,
900 has been approved and s642,40O
of this has been actually shipped, the
remainder being in process of print
ing and likely to be shipped within
q week.
Tomorrow Representative Rags
dale, member of the banking and
currency committee, will offer an
amendment, prepared by himself
and Mr. Lever, to the emergency
amendment, which has already pass
ed the senate, providing that the
secretary of the treasury shall re-
quire banks receiving emergency cur
rency to report each week the amount
issued upon warehouse receipts for
cotton, grain and other agricultural
products and naval stores, the
amount requested for loan upon such
receipts, the rate of interest for such
loans and, in case of rejection, the
reasons therefor, which statements
shall be published in newspapers OF
general circulation in the locality OF
the banks.
Messrs. Ragsdale and Lever hold
that if these statements are publish
Gu lUe lOISS Va pup-iS SSii'i4hS 49,
the communities affected will compel
the banks, if not disposed voluntari-
ly to do so, TO carry out the intent OF
the government that the emergency
currency shall be used for the pur-
poses for which it is being provided.
1t is now apparent that the bank
ing and currency committee will not
endorse that feature of the Hoke
Smith amendment to the emergency
act admitting State banks to its priv
ileges directly and removing the 10
per cent. tax on State bank currency.
Instead the committee will probably
report in favor of the first part OF
the Smith amendment, raising the
amount of commercial assets on
which emergency currency may be
based to Is per cent. instead of 80
per cent. as at present.
The federal reserve system will
probably be in operation by October
IS. and it will afford much more re-
lief, in the opinion of experts, than
the Aldrich-Vreeland act, even in the
latter's amended form. Under the
federal reserve act commercial assets
may be accepted even up to 100 per
cent. as basis for currency.

LANDSLIDE BLOCKS
PANAMA CANAL
WATERWAY TO BE REOPENED IN
A FEW DAYS.

PANAMA, Oct ia serious land
slide on the east side of the Panama
canal north of Gold Hill occurred dur
ing last night. Traffic has been of ne
cessity stopped and Col. Cocktails could
not say today when the canal again
would be navigable.
1t is hoped that few days will
prove sufficient time in which to re-
open the waterway.
A preliminary survey today showed
the slide extended for a distance of
about 1900 feet north of Gold Hill and
started on a line about 100 feet from
the edge of the canal. 1t is not posi-
BILE as yet to estimate the amount of
rock and dirt that entered the channel
but it is declared it must be many
thousand cubic yards.
1t was first reported that there had
been movements from both sides of
the canal but this proved to be I'M
true. There was no disturbance at

Dad" Phillips, who is employed 25
binder by the Leland-Stanford Univer-
sity Press, claims to have seen the
first finger mitt ever used in a base
ball game. Over forty years ago "Dal
says he played on the same team w.tl
A. G. Spalding at Rocktcn, ILL.,, and
tells of the origin of the mitt as fol-
lows:
"In one of the games that our Rock
ton squad played we were attracted by
the sound of the ball as it clapped into
the hands of the man on first base for
our opponents. OF course, none of us
wore mitts in those days, and we never
thought such thing would be practic Il
But this man on first base alwa s
caught the ball with loud pop, and
several of US noticed it, though we
could see nothing unusual about his
hands.
However, after he caught the bail
each time, he pressed sumething into
his left hand After the game spald-
ing and l went over to see what he
had in his hand After some protest
he showed us. 1t was nothing but a
piece of bent metal around which he
had sewed some leather. It seemed he
had injured his hand, and did not want
to be kept out of the game, which
was for the championship of the state.
So he had made this mitt,"
Bunting ought to be tabooed, accord
ing to Dad" He says that the team
on which he played originated the
bunting stunt, but he does not think
that it is legitimate baseball. In his
early days bunt was called a fair
foul" and was not looked on with ia
vor by the fans of the time.

BEAVERS CHARGES MAYOR
WITH BEING PARTNER
IN POPULAR RESORT
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to Times-Recorder)
ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 17.-Chief OF
Police Beavers has sprung new
sensation in the vice crusade which
has eliminated in a grand jury investi-
cation. The chief declares that a GER
tain uptown saloon just off Peachtree
street, and one of the most popular
resorts in the city has a rear entrance
leading to a house on Houston street
which has been fitted up as a resor>
worthy of Atlanta's now banished re-
stricted district. The chief declares
that an elaborate system of electric
bells and signals has been fitted up
and connected with the saloon, which
so far has effectually prevented a sue
cessful raid by the police.
The chief declares that some time
ago Mayor Woodward asked him to
go easy" and not prosecute the wo-
man running the boarding house at
that number, and who is going under
an assumed name, while really she is
one of the most notorious of the for
mer characters of Manhattan avenue,
now closed by Chief Beavers or
der.
Mayor Woodward was called before
the grand jury yesterday to explain
his charges that the police were graft
ing and protecting vice. The mayor
said he did not have any proof of graft,
but had merely been expressing his
opinion. 1t is not considered probable
that any indictments will grow out of
the Investigation, though Foreman
Woods White says he intends going
to the bottom of the situation.

(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-With the
worlds baseball championship and al
most all the pennant races in the ma
jor and minor leagues decided, the
baseball season of 1914 has passed in.
to history. Many of the events which
occurred during the playing season,
as we'll as those which Immediately
preceded the departure of the va
rious teams to their training camps,
were of a sensational character. The
invasion of the major league circuit
by a new organization, it's stubborn
fight for recognition, the enforced ex-
traordinary advance in the salaries of
prominent players, the legal battles
fought for the retention of subjuga-
ton of several allied contract-break-
ers kept the baseball world in fer
ment for months. The around-the-
world trip of the foremost diamond
stars, which was, both financially ami
instructively, huge success, was a
big step toward making the great
American game universally unde"-
stood. Taken altogether the season
just finished has marked an epoch in
baseball and furnished probably the
most interesting chapters in the long
and varied records of events on the
diamond.
In addition to the National, Ameri-
can and Federal leagues, there were
nearly forty organizations of profess
sional baseball clubs in operation in
the United States and Canada during
