County Bank First.

That a bank located within a county
has the right of selection a a county
depository, other conditions being equal
and within the meaning Of the act per-
tanning to county depository, over a
competing institution outside the same
county, is the gist of a decree handed
down by Chief Justice Smith in the
supreme court. The case was brought
from Webster county and was styled
Bank of Eupora VS.. State ex rel. l:abin
Home bank, growing out of the action
Of the board of supervisors Of Webster
County in selecting the Mabin bank as
its county depository instead OF the
| Bank of Eupora. In an oral statement
Of the situation, Chief Justice Smith
| observed that the contentious of ap
pellants were sound and reasonable
and that the county board had eX
ceeded it's jurisdiction in selecting the
outside bank as the county depository
The cause was ordered reversed ant
the bill dismissed.

A mistake made by a great many
farmers in South Carolina is to have
their cows calve during the spring
months. All authorities on dairying
are agreed that for many reason it
is more profitable to have cows calve
in fall. The principal advantages of
fall calving are four in number and
are stated below.

DAN B. JOHNSON declares the
Federal league will not last out
the present season. Ban said that
last spring, too, but Gilmore, Weegh-
man, ct al, were so unkind as to
finish their schedule and put an
awful crimp in the bankrOlls of the
teams in Bans league. Ban would
help the game a whole lot if he

and get down to solid facts.
<
I OS ANGELES baseball fans have
- long been anxious to see Seattle
back in the Coast league fold Ban
johnson hit the Angel City last Sun
day and immediately gave out a
statement that Seattle should be in
the Coast league. As result, read
this from the Los Angeles Times:
johnson is the greatest organizer
in the history of baseball. He
grasped the situation on the coast
at glance and decided that the
Coast league was overlooking a bet
in Seattle" And a lot more similar
gush. The inference is given in the
story that johnson said Seattle
should not be yoked with "hand-
car towns like Ballard, Everett and
Aberdeen" Well, either Ban John
son or the reporter must have been
dreaming. Seattle is not yOked
with the three towns mentioned,
though Aberdeen is now in the
Northwestern league. Everett is not
in that league and has not been for
about eight years. Ballard took
part of Portland's games last season.
To quote further from the Los
Angeles Times story: "JOhnson's
familiarity with baseball conditions
on the coast is amazing" Well, if
it is, then the writer of the inter
view with Big Ban needs to take a
few lessons on the subject himself
< :
ORGANIZED baseball boasts of
the protection" it affords the
various leagues comprising the Ma

is going around advising the Coast
league to steal Seattle from the
Northwestern circuit, then the Ma
tional association had better have
something to say to Ban or it will
lose lot of supporters. The present
circuit of the Northwestern league
consists of Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane,
Vancouver, Victoria, and Aberdeen.
Aberdeen, though a small city, has
always given its ball teams good
support. Victoria is really the "weak
sister" of the league and it has a
population of close to $4,000.
