has caused me more worry than any
thing that has happened in a long
while. We have just had another
State convention of the Democratic
party Of South Carolina; and that
convention indorsed President Will
sons administration in no uncertain
terms. Indeed it went further than
good taste or truth seemed to de-
mand or allow. 1t said:
'Recognizing in the president the
greatest moral force that has been in
tho White House during the past
century, we heartily commend his ef-
forts to secure repeal of the Pan
anna free tolls act, q. law enacted by
a Republican congress and signed by
a Republican president regardless of
national honor; we condemn this law
as undemocratic and against the
economic policy Of our party and
country. We believe that this law
would create shipping trust and
would repeat the outrageous scan
dals of the building of our transcon-
tinental railways. We demand that
our senator's vote for the unqualified
repeal of this act and thus support
the president in upholding Demo-
cratic principles and the honor of
this nation
1T seems to me that this is much
exaggerated and mildcr and more
conservative uttcrancc would have
been in better taste. Woodrow Will

statesman and good man. but his

The Columbia Athletic baseball
team arrived in the city this morning
for a two day stay here and two
games of ball, one this afternoon and
one tomorrow afternoon, with the
Sumter Y. NJ. G.. A. baseball team.
Both games are expeced to be good
ones, as the Athletics are a fast crowd
and the Sumter boys are altogether in
their class. Both teams will work
hard for victory, the home boys hav-
ing the advantage of knowing the
diamond.
The attendance should be good at
both games. The boys need the finan-
cial and moral support of the home
people to make their team a success
full one.
