landers one out Of three from the |

double play, Vance to StOCker. cut
short the hopes of the Speed Boys. The
fatal ninth inning rally stuff was
headed off Frank forcing Castle and
Holmes to fly out, and whiting Sund
helm after "Ziggy' Sherer had singled.
And don't think Frank wasn't sup
ported. His mates backed him up in
great style. Lister making two bare
handed stabs that brought the fans
to their feet and cut off hits. Quincy's
hit column shows seven safeties, but
let US add that two of these were in
field hits of the scratchy order. Scan
lon also kept the hits widely scattered.

in the sixth.

TAX IN KIND. CONFEDERATE
PROPERTY.
(By VIM. D. 81

At the close Of the great war be-
tween the States Capt. John Davis
had collected considerable amount
Of provisions at Laurens Court House.
He used the rooms where Owings &
Owings now have their store for his
commissary. The question came up,
what disposition should be made of
the Confederate government supplies,
as the states had lost their fight. 1t
was agreed upon as our soldiers had
returned home with only worthless
Confederate money in their pockets
they should have these supplies for
their families Word was sent out for
a general gathering of all the soldiers
at Laurens on the next salesday
a big crowd collected on that day
and rush was made on the store
room, every man for self. Some got
sacks Of flour, sides Of bacon and corn,
others rolled out barrels OF sugar
syrup. You could see a man getting
astridc of his barrel, while some Of his
party were bringing up the wagon to
haul off his stuff. | saw one fellow
sitting on his gale of cotton, while his
comrades were bringing up the team.
Several bales Of cotton were hid in a
little cuddy hole in the rear of the
storeroom. but the old Confeds found
them and soon they had them out
on the street. Capt. Davis had sever
al barrels Of whiskey in his stock
The old men Of Laurens thought it
wouldn't do for the crowd to load up
on whistey on that day, SO they had
the liquor hauled off and hid in cell
lar until after the raid was over.
don't know who fell heir to the spirits
after the big divide. If it was made
out of sorghum skimmings the man
that tried to drink 1t ought to have
had his throat lined with tin.
After the commissary was cleaned
out, someone reported that Capt.
Rhett had two hundred government
mules in pasture down on Little Riv-
er crowd made for the bottom and
soon the mules were located and
captured. Some Of the men got one
mule, others got two. Some of the
Laurens merchants signed papers with
Capt. Rhctt that the mules were his
own property, not the Confederate
States. SO the men had to return the
mules. If Capt. Rhett had taken the
government mules for debt due him
by the Confederate States, | think oul
soldiers had as much right to this
stock as Capt. Rhett. When Sherman
was approaching Columbia, Capt
Rhett moved the mules and wagons
to LaurenS. A squad Of the Sixth S
{. Cavalry rode into Laurens on theil
way to n. G. They found the Capt
stationed there. They got little whis
key and told the captain they were
going to carry him to the front, SO he
could be in one fight before the wal
closed. While they were getting of
their haltcrs to tie him, he made q
the door. He raised a window In
the rear and made his escape into a
neighboring store where he was hiC
until the troopers left town. Oul
the best right to all the left over gov.
ernment property. Every factory
tan yard, mill and commissary were
raidcd on and the property seized and
divided out. In some instances, pri-
vatc property was not respected. In
so much excitement there are always
men who go to the extremes.

Columbia, March Ex-senator Nc
Laurin returned this morning from the
north where he went on business con-
nected with the insurance situation.
Senator McLaurin had q talk with Gov.
Manning at the capitol and will later
make detailed report of his trip to
the north, in which he will discuss
what is practical to be done. The SEN
ator in the course Of the morning gave
out an address to the people on the sit
uation; only small section of which
is here printed:
March %, 1916.
TO the People of South Carolina:
have just been north, in an en-
dcavor to reach some adjustment of
the insurance trouble in this State. |
am making a detailed report to Gov
crnor Manning, containing some spe-
cific conclusions. feel that l owe 1t
to the people Of the State to let them
understand the situation, as view It.
The companies, whether "board" or
"non-board," were informed by GER
tain people in tbs State that an extra
session OF the legislature would be
convened on account of the one hun
drcd thousand dollar appropriation to
the asylum. They were also led to
believe that the insurance legislation
was intended to punish the insurance
companies and to arbitrarily fix the
rates. | did what l could to relieve
this impression and think that | sue
cccdcd to some extent.
found, however, that the situation
was completely dominated by three or
four big companies, and that there
was not common ground upon hwich |
could treat with them. While they
arc doing business in New York, New
Jersey and other states where the
rates are supervised by the State, they
said that they were fighting for a
principle and that they contended for
the right to go into any State and fix
ihc rate Of insurance, and that the
authorities in such States had no right
to question these rates. | explained
to them that all we wanted in South
Carolina was to insure that there
should be competition; that under
present conditions there was competi-
ton between the agents for business
but none at all between the compan-
les fixing the rates. | expressed my
| perfect willingness to have the matter
| OF the New York law, with repre-,
sentative of both the companies ant
the state acting jointly, but they were
absolutely determined in their posi-
| ton.
These men are so far off from the
people, and get their information from
sources that are so antagonistic tt
popular thought, that concluded i
was best to say ntohing more to then
at the present time.
| In my report to Governor Manning
| | shall discuss what Is practical for us
| to do.
Some OF the companies to whom
