BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-B BOXING.

Anthony E. Wilding of New Zea-
land, former lawn tennis champion
of Great Britain and several times
member of the Australian team in the
Davis cup matches. has been killed
in the fighting in the Dardanelles, ac-
cording to report from London. He
was I'd lieutenant in Royal Marines.
Wilding was for years considered
the worlds greatest tennis player.
Only last summer he lost the right
to the distinction when he was de-
feated by M. E. Mclaughlin in the
singles of the Davis cup matches.
The loss of this great tennis player
is jolt to the sporting world. He
was good mixer, a good loser and
polite winner,
None of the leaders in the last week
of play in the eighteenth annual tour
nament of the Illinois Bowling asso-
citation were displaced in Tuesday
nights play. The flock of rollers who
turned out at the Randolph alleys last
night went well in their scores, but
didn't pull anything sensational
enough to grab standing position
away from anybody.
Jack DeVine and 3. Holman shot
a total of 1,200 for tenth place in the
two-man event. w. Daubert shot
GOT for the highest mark in the sin
giles in last nights rolling.
Knockout Brown, Chicago's scrap
per, battled to a victory over Fighting
Billy Murray in a Kenosha ring last
night. The result of the bout was
pretty much of surprise as ring
siders rather expected the Californian
to emerge winner.
The bout was hot smuggling match,
just what the crowd wanted to see.
Red Watson of California knocked
the champion aspirations out of Mike
Snyder of Chicago in semi-windup.

Ye gods! With the bases loaded and
the score decidedly against our
White Sox, Eddie Collins famed. But
even though the game was finally
lost and not Sox man crossed the
pan, we will gladly forgive Eddie.
Even the best of EN- make slip now
and then. And Eddie makes so dern
few slips in his everyday game that
there is no kick coming. We might
add, however, that even a nice little
single would have made that game
look bit different to Sox fans.
The Washington crew of baIIpIay-
ers surprised South Side fans with
their play. They were on the jump
from the word ''Play ball." and never
let down until the last man was out
in the ninth. While weak hitting is
alleged to be the Washington teams
habit, they shook it long enough in
their first battle in Chi. to bat in two
runs. And those two runs were just
one more than enough to cop.
A little thanks should be forthcom-
ing from the Washingtons to Weaver
and Fourier. Both made plays that
helped put the visitors two scores
over Weaver made poor peg
about six feet wide-to the plate, and
Fourier used poor judgment in re-
turning a ball, throwing it to third in
stead of to the home plate.
j. Collins and FeIeh got all the Sox
hits, two apiece. or Nick Altrock
was on the coaching line, but didn't
get away with his line of comedy a.

Mayor Floyd and His Liquor.

OF course there may be an inside
story to this seizure of liquor shipped
into Spartanburg for Mayor Floyd. 1t
may be that the mayor has been hav-
ing whiskey for his personal use, lust
as many other citizens, shipped to
him direct, and in quantitic, that
verge upon the limit of the law, with
out publicity and seizure until now,
but in view of the position he oc-
cupies in this community and in con-
sideration of the sentiment of the
people of the city, who have honored
him with the highest office, which
sentiment is reflected by the fact that
Spartanburg is a prohibition town, it
would better become him to recognize
these things and be content with less
liquor ir the future. There are con-
cesslons men must make to their po-
sitions in life.
He may be well within his rights
when he makes a fight for-the liquor
taken yesterday by the sheriff's office,
but to see the mayor and the police
court Judge, for he holds both posi-
tlons, contending with the constituted
authorities over whiskey, puts him in
position that is bound to weaken his
authority with offenders and lose him
friends among those citizens of Spar
tanburg who have no patience with
the whiskey business.
Another thing we feel called upon
to say is in connection with the at
titude the mayor assumed toward, a
reporter for The Herald yesterday
afternoon when asked for a state
ment concerning the matter, and that
Is tnat this newspaper has no apollo
ries to make for printing the news
and when the mayor of the city has
liquor seized by county authorities it
is news story of interest and impor-
tance. The matter is one of public
record and there is no authority under
the sun that can suppress the fact.
Public Office does not carry censorship
with it. Not much. We take no pleas
ure in the publication of this matter,
but to keep the record straight, and
to be self-respecting as the publishers
of a newspaper, we are pursuing this,
the only course.-Spartanburgs Herald.

TELLS OF TROUBLE
NEAR FAIR PLAY
Men Implicated in Whipping Talk
Freely Of Battle With Negroes.

Anderson, Dec. 29.-There have
been no late developments in the Fair
Play riot reported here so far as
known. William Mcclure, Woodrow
Campbell, Will Kay and John Nc
Donald, who participated in the riot
CT Sunday week ago, were in Ander-
son today. They talked freely about
the affair, stating that Tom Spight
was caught setting fire to CampbelPs
barn and that George Gibson, wanted
for carrying concealed weapons, re-
sisted arrest. Eight white men, in
cluding those just mentioned, took
both negroes to spot near Knox
bridge in South Carolina and admin
lstered severe whipping.
When the whipping was finished.
Green Gibson, father of George, and
five other negroes fired on the white
men with shotguns. George Gibson
and Spight scampered across the
bridge into Georgia.
George Gibson died soon after
crossing the river and Spight died in
the Hart county Jail, having been ar
rested by Georgia officers. Green Glib
son was wounded, ran five miles and
died on McClure's place. Will Gibson
was wounded in the thigh and has dis
appeared. The participants believe he
was taken to Walhalla and placed in
care of the sheriff.
The white men declare that the
negroes surprised them and that thew
got within 25 steps before firing or
them. The white men returned the
fire with pistols but did not have
much ammunition.
According to the best information
George Gibson, Green Gibson, and
Tom Spight are dead and Will Glib.
son is missing. William Mcclure
Woodrow Campbell, John Mcdonald
Will Kay and Paul Marrett, all white
men, were injured, none seriously, en-
cept Mcdonald, who may lose his

murder of George Gibson, having held
en- inquest over his dead hodv.
The service of warrants was held
up by Sheriff Sid Johnson of Har,
county pending further investigation.
Since the warrants were issued.
Spight. has died in Hart county iail.
Neither George Gibson nor Spight
was shot. both dSirg froas .s,ounds
inflicted when subjected to the Sc
we're whipping administered on the
South Carolina side of the river.
Participants in Sundays escapade
declare that Bill Parker, a notorious
negro, former member of the house
of representatives., melted the Fair
Play riot; that he organized new
church with Green Gibson as head
where talks and conspiracy were
made against white people of Fair
Play section. 1t is not believed here
that there is danger of further vio-

Mr. S. Lowe who left Union sew
eral, years ago for Summerberry
Canada, is at home for visit to his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Lowe.
Mr.. Lowe is in business with the
Grenfall Grain and Elevator Com
pany and has charge of the hardware
department, of this concern.
Mr.. Lowe talks most Interestingly
OF this great country and is well in
formed on all things pertaining to
the country and it's products. He
says the people are cordial and hos
p'table and once you make friends
with them, they are yours, and they
come from all parts of the world to
setrle there. The climate is delight
full, the winters are eight months
long but the inhabitants do not suf-
fer with the cold as much as YOU do
in damp climate. The summers
are very short and all the farm work
has to be done from April the 1st
until October the 1st. 1t is a great
country; wheat being the principal
product, but the people are fond of
cattle raising and take great pride
In their fine horses. 1t is very ex-
pensive to raise cattle on account of
the hard winters but it is done on a
large scale. Mr.. Lowe says he hopes
soon to see South Carolina, his old
home State to go in for cattle rails

BANKS MUST PAY
ON BORROWINGS
Capital Thus Got Liable TO Federal
TaX-Ruling BY Collector.
(The State.)

ID. c. Hayward, collector of internal
revenue for South Carolina, at the
instance of one Of the large banks &c
the State, has presented to the com
missioner of internal revenue test
question as to the liability of banks
and bankers to return, in their re
port of capital, surplus and undivided
profits, borrowed money utilized a.
capital in the general transactions of
such banks or bankers. The U""Sti-N
arose as to whether or not banks and
bankers should make return of only
the actually subscribed and paid in
capital or whether there should b.
included with this amount all Dor
rowed money used in the business.
The commissioner of internal rcV-
enue, in response to this question,
rules that" money borrowed by banks
which actually was utilized as capi-
tai, should be included in the basis
upon which the tax due is computed
The amount of such borrowed capital
entered into the basis should be only
the average of the money so borrow
ed; that Is In the cas-" OF the SpcClr"
case for which the ruling was aSkcd)
where the bank borrowed 5000 900 for
4 period of four months, then the av-
erage of this loan for the year would
be one-third of 100000, or 100000,
and the bank should. therefore, add to
it's capital $200,000"
The commissioners ruling ends
with the words that this item, rOunr-
irg the proportionatc part of the hor-
row"d money used in the businC@4
shall be returned on form 457, the
form prescribed for returns of banks
;.rd bankers, as a portion of the cap
ital.
As a result of this ruling, III col
Iector calls the attention of all banks
and bankers of this State to the fact
that an examination Of their returns.
in the majority of instances, shows
that only the subscribed and paid in
capital has been returned for taxa
tion. 1t therefore becomes necessary
for every bank, except those which
may have returned their borrowed
capital for taxation, to amend its re-
turn on form 457. showing the amount
of borrowed capital employed in the
business during the II months of th~
fiscal year ended June 80 1919, ~
addition to their subscribed and paid
in capital, as basis for computing
amount of additional tax due for the
period from November l, 1914, TO
June 30, 1915.

slowed. She held high place in the
hearts of those who knew her. For

of the First Baptist church here, and
was active in the work of her church.

she lived a life that will continue to
bless others. "She is not dead, but
sleepeth."
