YANKEES NOT TO RECALL RAY HEATING FROM RICHMOND
Brooklyn and White Sox Gain In Exciting Big League
 Pennant Glasses

Sunday afternoon to play Br1dseport. Manager Healy of the local club will probably send> Marty Walsh after the big leaguers. The lineup submitted by Brooklyn is Wheat, C.; Rucker, Mails and Appleton, D.; Merkle. lp.; Cutshaw, 2b.; OMara, ss.; Getz or Mowrey, 3b.; Hickman, f.; Myers. cf.; Stengel, If. Fucker acts as man. ager in exhibition games. Wheat the catcher, is a brother of Zach Wheat, the outfielder.
 A New York critic says the lateral pass introduced by Frank Hinkey, at Yale, is not dead. It will be used extensively this season, but will not be the principal weapon of attack. As Q trick play to be flashed only occa- sionally the play would be a ground gainer if properly executed.
 The Cubs showed a new pitcher named Perry from the Southern league yesterday. He went in against Boston and blanked the Braves by 2 to 0.
 Directum 1, worlds champion pac- ing stallion, broke all records for half mile by going this distance in 55 3-4 secondsNat Syracuse, N. Y., yes- terday. The former mark was held by Dan Patch This record was 56 sec onds and was made at Memphis, Tenn, in 1903.
 Those veteran pitchers die hard. Eddie Plank stuck one foot out of the grave yesterday and beat the Bos" ton Red Sox by 6 to 1. Jack Coombs, one of Plank's pals in the old Ath- letic days, is one of Brooklyn's main stays this season. Coombs has play ed in both leagues and says there is practically no difference in the strength of the National and Ameri- can.

New York, Sept. 15-Charles Weinert. the Jersey heavyweight, has agreed to be the goat. To be sure Charlie doesn't speak of it in that way, nor does he have any idea of playing the goat role September 25, in Madison Square Garden. But he is the first boxer to step forward and take a chance with Bob Moha, since the latter showed his wares to Heavy weight Joe Cox here a few weeks ago.

 Referee Florrie Barnett was about to stop the battle when one of Coni- frey's seconds jumped, into the ring.
 A riot followed. Hundreds of Coni- frey's friends figured he was not get ting a square deal, and they hurled bottles and chairs into the ring. News papermen and Chairman Fred Wenck. of the Boxing Commission, who oc- cupied seats at the ringside. were forced to seek shelter under the plat form.

iBy Wagner.)

Although it was thought Ray Keat- ing had merely been farmed by the New York Americans to the Richmond club, it has been learned that the local boy is through as a member of the Yankees. His name is among those released by the Yankee management. Heating has done we'll with Richmond and if he has a good season in 1917 he probably will get another chance with some other big league club.
 It was necessary for the Yankees to release some of their farmed players in order to reduce the squad to 30. Otherwise they would not be eligible to draft any new players. Roy Hart zell, the veteran outfielder, has been given his unconditional release to which he was entitled because of his ten years of service in the majors. Pitcher Markle has been released to Toronto and Pitcher Vance to Colum- bus of the American ass ss-ciation.
 The Detroit Tigers were prevented from taking the lead in the American league race because they lost to the Yankees while the Red Sox were get ting beat by St. Louis. The White Sox, by trimming Washington, gained a game on the leaders. The White Sox are only game behind Boston and two points in the rear of the Tigers. Brooklyn came to life and gained a game on Boston and the Phillies, who were each defeated. The Brooklyn boys now have a lead of one and a half games over the Phillies.
 The high cost of dancing still con- tinues. A New Orleans promoter has offered $15,000 for a bout be- tween Freddy Welsh and Johnny Dundee.

The Farmer Who Was Too Late.

Do you know him-the man who
is always too late? We dare say he
lives in your neighborhood, and
maybe his farm actually adioins
your own. He is usually not hard to
find, this man isn't; in fact you can
usually tell his farm the moment
you come IN sight Of it.
1t is likely the first sight to offend
your order-lovine sensibi!ities will
be a crooked fence row with ten
foot fringe of bushes and brers Dor.
dering it, that Mr.. Slow Coach, be-
cause of getting behind with his
ork, has found it inconvenient to
clean up. Then this time of the year
there'll probably be patch of
something with a greenish, bilious
cast that closer inspection will show
to be oats heading out at an average
height of exactly ten inches. You
see, he got behind with the cotton
picking last fall and for this reason
it was impossible for him to insure
his oat crop by planting it in Sep
tember or October. Farther on
there's field that looks just like a
great mass of hard clods, and, in
fact, that's about what it is. You
see, he didn't have time to harrow
the land right after he plowed it,
and now about the only way the
c.ods can be broken is with sledge
hammer. Later IN the summer this
field will be adorned with the va
riety of cotton known as humble
bee"-another of the fruits of being
behind time.
OF course, we don't suppose there
is anything that can be done for
such fellow-his ways are sot;"
but it does seem pity for him to
set such an example to our boys and
girls-the farmers and farm women
to De, doesn't .it?-Progressive

w. c. T. u. Picnic at County
Home.

Friday June 9. is the day tnat the
Edgefeld county w. G.. T. U. has
selected as the occasion for the an
nual picnic at the County Home.
this being the birthday Of Jennie
Casseday the founder of the Flower
Mission.
Friday was a lovely day, and
there was the largest number in at
tendance that we have ever pre-
viously had on these occasions.
Representatives from the Johnston,
Trenton and Edgefeld Unions were
present. We missed the Harmony
and Philippi representation, but
supposed they were unavoidably
detained, as they are always there
when it is possible.
The dinner was served at II
o'clock to the seventeen inmates,
and to all who came. Mr.. and Mrs.
Scurry showed most kindly hospi-
tality, and after abundant provision
had been made for those for whom
the day was prepared, we partook
of the remaining feast together.
Ice lemonade and iced tea was
served as well as fruit and candy,
besides the picnic dinner. After
the dinner had been served there
was still an abundance left which
resembled the widows cruise, in
that the more we took away the
more remained. This was sent in
large boxes to the camp where the
convicts are stationed, and was
enough for two good meals for
hungry men. This was carried by
Mrs. J. D. Mathis and Mrs. j. F.
Atkins of the Trenton Union.
Mrs. J. H. White Of Johnston
had conceived the plan of bringing
some growing plants for those who
loved flowers, already planted in
Jars and growing with a white rib
bon card attached.
Mrs. Mathis brought fans for
each one and quilt pieces for the
women. Before going to the chapel
for the religious service those who
who were present enjoyed season
of g. half ,hour-in. singing, accom-
panied by Mr.. Scurry's fine tenor
and Mr.. Henry Dobey and Gordon
Warren. The chapel was nearly
filled with the visitors and inmates
and Mr.. J. X. Allen was invited to
conduct the exercises, which he did
very graciously and happily. Miss
Miriam Norris and Mrs. j. H.
White sang solos and the little
Scurry girls sang duett, the whole
congregation joining in several
songs together.
Altogether the occasion was a
delightful one, Mrs. Ida Stevens,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. II. Allen and Miss
Lena Stevens and Miss Mary Lewis
were there from the Meeting Street
community.

The Carolina and Northwestern
Railroad.

One of the few railroads in the
State which is not in some way con-
nected with the large systems is the
Carolina and North hwestern which
is operated between Chester,
S. c.. and Edgemont, n. c., total
distance of l3O miles. With Col.
L. r.. Nichols of Chester as general
manager, this road is succeeding far
above the average railroad. 1t was
first built as a narrow gauge road
to Lenoir but was later made a
standard gauge and the mileage in
creased. The road traverses splen-
did section of country and the
volume of business will steadily in
crease as this section is further de-
veloped. 1t was over the Carolina
and Northwestern that the pleasure
excursion was given by the York
people to the members of the State
Press association last Saturday, and
everything possible was done by
the officials that would contribute
in any manner to the pleasure of
the day.

the infantry did till 1864, when
most of the cavalry in Virginia
were armed with carbines and fought
as infantry good deal, so am told
by those who were in Virginia in
1864, but the Second South Carolina
Cavalry was sent back to South Car
olina in March of that year, and in
one fight on Johns Island Company
I lost more men than she had up to
that time during the war in killed
and wounded.

Girls With Beautiful Faces
or Graceful Figures

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the same
time, there are girls in our cities who
possess neither beauty of face nor
form, because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness, the result of
disorders of the womanly organism.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them;
they are so Frustrated that it takes days,
for them to recover their strength. Of
course, such periodic distress has its
bad effect on the nervous SYSTEM, The
withered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the eyes,
the straight figure without those
curves which lend so much to feminine
Womanly disorders.
When girl becomes woman when
a woman becomes a mother, when a
woman passes through the changes of
middle life, are the three periods, of
lite when health and strength are most
needed to withstand the pain and
distress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical. times women are
best fortified by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the entire
female system perfectly regulated and
in excellent condition.
Mothers, if your daughters are weak,
lack ambition, are troubled with head
aches, lassitude and f, are pale and
sickly, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is just what they need to surely

cheeks and make them strong; and

SHAKE THE COBWEBS.

"There's never anything new in
this city,.
How, often, have you heard that re-
mark. We had it hurled at us a
couple of days ago.
And why is there nothing new?
Simply because everybody waits
for somebody else to start something.
We are all ready to talk if the other
fellow will do, but too few of us are
willing to take the initiative and
"start something"
What made New York, and Chi
cago, and Minneapolis, and all of the
other great cities of the country
Was it their, natural advantages
alone, or the people, who wait for
others, or did they just happen?
1t was neither of these. It was
the ability and, the initiative of their
"do something citizens. There is
no place in those burgs for the fell
low who }"waitsy'
We can do the same here, if we
want to. Not on as large or gigantic
scale, of course, but still we can i'm
prove our condition thousand per
cent if we will only resolve to edo
things" then do them.
There are just as many brains in
this city in proportion to population
as there are in New York, Chicago OF
Minneapolis, but they are like the
sleeping volcano while the other
mans brains are constantly in erup-
ton.
It is time to wake up-to come out
of our trance-it is time to ''do some
thing"-and we address this state
ment particularly to the friend who
accosted"jus a. couple of days ago.
We suggest. that YOU do some
thing, because we know that you
have the ability to do. And when
they seee your brain. working to a
purpose others will sit up and start
theirs to moving, too.
If you, reader, have ever made such
a complaint of this city, we are talk
ing to you, too. Shake the cobwebs
from your own brains, and in time
you will find others keeping the pace
right by your side. Do something
yourself and then you will never have
occasion ITO say to others that "there
is never anything doing in this city,

the we'll to do and the poor touching
shoulders in common bond of patri-
otto duty. And it would give this
nation a reserve force so ample, so
constant and so charged with warn
ing that there could not be found
upon the globe a power sufficiently
formidable and reckless as to chal-
lenge the peace, the integrity and the
popular institutions of the 100000

(From the Spokane Spokesman
ReVieW.)

President Wilson's address before
the Manhattan club is a work of high
literary finish AS an administration
message it was wonderfully we'll
done, outlining with great clarity the
presidents program for national de-
Tense and voicing with high ability
the nations deep desire to befriend
the whole world, to abstain reso-
lutely from wars of aggression and to
engage only in preparedness to de-
|fend itself against invasion and main
tain the liberties of the American
people.
The president we'll says that lit
has been American policy time out
of mind to look to the navy as the
first and chief line of Defense" and
that, "chief of all, we should have a
definite policy of development, not
made from year to year, but looking
we'll into the future and planning for
a definite contamination"
The administration naval pro-
gram, embracing as it does the build
ing of enough first class fighting ships
and essential auxiliaries, such as
scout ships, submarines and aircraft,
to give the nation a sea defense Sec
ond only to that of Great Britain,
and of a bristling force, that would
deter any power from attempted in
vasion, is sound and deserves the en-
thusiastic support of the nation.
The Serious Flaw.
To be cordially approved also is the
presidents recommendation that the
regular army be strengthened mod
erately in numbers and to the utmost
efficiency, and that both navy and
army have ample equipment of guns,
ammunition and supplies of every
needed description. In brief, that
our preparedness shall be complete
land we'll rounded, so that if we should
face hostile forces nothing would be
lacking down to the minutest detail
For the moment of first shock the
regular army would be the country
second line of defense, but the real
and sustaining second line would be
