SIDELIGHTS ON THE GAME

Mobile, April 29.-tSpecial)-Carleto Moesworth's Barons paid off debt to- day when they hammered Jim Gudger from the mound in two innings. Gudger Is the heaver who made the Barons look weary in the opening game of the sea son in Birmingham.
 Hemingway and Mcbride led with the stick, each chalking up three sameties out of five trips to the plate. Wallace. Sloan and Magee touched the Gull hurlers for two wallops each.
 After an inauspicious start, Black looked good until the fourth inolng. but on that occasion the Gulls took kindly to his of- ferings and Omar Hardgrove was rushed to the rescue The old master worried along in the latest approved fashion until the ninth. when he was touched up for three runs.
 In addition to accepting four chances

 Twenty-seven hits and 20 runs in one game is the record made by the Gulls and the Barons fin the opener. The entire quartet of hurers were extremely cratic and the sluggers made merry as they swelled their batting totals.
 Gudger Ellam and Clark were the only three to go hftless for the game. Clark. however drove out some that were labeled with the safety mark but the second sacler for once was unfortunate.
 The Barons got busy and cnched things In the first two innings of the game Al the same time they removed the affair from the game column and stored 1t away with the farces.
 It's Arthur Johnson vs, Lefty Townsend today.

The January meeting of the

of Mrs. w. a. Sheldon on the
afternoon of the 22d. After the
usual opening exercises and all
matters of business had been dis
cussed a program was rendered.
The historian had copies of the
program for 1915, which promise
to be very interesting and which
the members decided to use. The,
h1stess served a sweet course.
Mrs. B. Smith invited the chap
ter to meet with her in February.
On the evening of the 22d the
birthday of Robert E. Lee was
celebrated with appropriate ex-
ercises by the children of the
graded school. Quite a large
crowd gathered in the audito-
rum to listen to the very inter-
esting and well carried out pro-
gram. After which a picture of
this great general Ia gift from
the Keowee q. D. G. members)
was presented to the school by
Rev. J. G. Bailey.

General orbreson Head Of the Car
ranza Forces Now In Capital.
.Me1ico Cfty-The capital is again
in possession Of the forces of General
Carranza who, while acting as pro-
visional president was forced to leave
Mexico City, early in November under
threat Of Villa and zapata's advancing
troops. The new authorities have re-
established order and a general feel
ing Of confidence prevails.
It has been determined that the
shooting which occurred before the
national palace, when Gen. Alvaro
Orbregon at the head Of the Carranza
forces, reached that place was done
by snipers who were hidden on the
cathedral roof. Gen. Opbregon said
the shots were undoubtedly directed
towards him. The perpetrators have
not been captured. Three soldiers
were killed and number wounded
during the aghting.
All saloons are closed. Commercial
houses and banks declare they VIII
resume business Immediately.
10000 additional Carranza troops en-
tered the capital. The ZaDtista troops
have retreated southwark.

later to the secretary of the historical
commission / find that they have not
been turned over to either of these Of
fcials. Many pasteboard box letter
files and certain unmarked boxes of
papers have been placed in the base

formed are from this Office, but the
boxes are not marked, and it is, there
fore, impossible to locate any paper
needed in this Office. | invite you to
inspect the governors Office, and the
basement where these boxes are stored,
and I also ask that you appoint proper
committees to investigate this matter
and to report what steps are necessary
to bring about the proper indexing and
safe-keeping of these papers.

TURK INVASION OF EGYPT.

First skirmish of the War in Suez
Canal Region Occurs.
London.-The advance guard Of the
Turkish army undertaking an inva-
sion of Egypt has reached the British
in this region took place. Official
reports say the clash was a small az
fair, only one British officer being
wounded, but dispatches from Cairo
declare the invaders suffered severely
from the British machine guns.
The dispatches do not disclose the
size of the Turkish force engaged, but
say the fight took place east OF Ell Kan
tara which is on the Suez Canal and
is the terminus Of the caravan route
from Rafati, the border station be-
tween Egypt and Syria. The distance
from Rafati to Ei Kantara is 143 miles
and, as the British had filed in all the
wells along the caravan route, the in
vaders would have had to carry their
own water. Even Ell Kanatara is sup
piled by pipe line from fresh water
stream which runs under the Suez
canal.
