Baseball at Carlisle School.

Carlisle very probably has the
strongest baseball team this year that
she has ever put out. She has start
ed off the season in great STYLE The
big games are now on-Porter and
Bailey this week and other strong
teams following. Porter has already
received her medicine.
Here's what the management
wants to say to the lovers of baseball
in Bamberg and the surrounding
communities: They have lost money
on every game played on the local
grounds this season! 1t takes money
to run a good ball team, it takes
money to bring visiting teams here
to play. The Carlisle management
cannot offord to have these games at
a heavy financial loss. On the last
game, for example, about $500 in
money, besides entertainment for the
visitors, was lost.
We believe the fans appreciate
these games The critics tell us they
are equal to first-class college games.
The management doesn't want to dis
continue them, nor DO they believe
the fans want them discontinued, but
unless there is an improvement in at
tendance, Carlisle, like some of the
other institutions, will be forced to
call off some of her greatest games.
If you like good baseball go to the
games and carry your friends with
you.-adv.

Consumption Proper Plan.

Mr.. Robert Latham, editor of the
Charleston News and Courier, in con-
'versation at The Herald Office Mon
day, stated that he believed the only
feasible plan for raising an army will
be by universal service 1t has been
the experience with all countries dur
ing any war of consequence that con-
scription had to be resorted to, and
this country would save much time
and avoid much confusion by adopt
ing the universal plan Immediately.
Mr.. Latham is of the belief that the
more thoroughly we enter this war,
the sooner will peace be consummat-
ed. 1t is we'll known fact, said Mr..
Latham, that the volunteer plan IN
raising a large army would take from
the commercial life of the nation
large numbers of men who could best
serve their country by continuing to
carry on their respective lines OF
business, whereas men whom could
best serve their country in the ranks
would probably not volunteer. Uni
versal service treats ali alike, and
makes such exceptions to service that
are necessary to continue to carry on
the commercial activities of the ma
tion and provide sustenance for the
army and the country.

"Cleaner Sweep" in Denmark.

Denmark, April 11.-At meeting
here this afternoon the following Of
ficers that were elected in the city
election last Tuesday were seated In
office: Mayor, ]. z. Brooker; alder
men, w. B. Gillian, J. W. Lancaster
T. P. McCrae, J. S. Walker, D. N.
Cox and D. NJ. Cox. At their first
meeting the new council elected the
following officers: ]. E. Steadman,
Jr., city clerk; R. C. Hardwick, Esq,
city attorney; w. J. Hutto, chief OF
police.
The election last Tuesday was one
Of the hottest that Denmark has ever
witnessed. Two straight tickets
were put in the field, one being the
old administration running in a body
and the other straight new
ticket" The new ticket won by a
good majority and thus a clean
sweep has been made, not only by
the mayor and aldermen, but all the
appointments made by them are new
people.
After the votes were counted and
the results declared, number OF
people Joined in automobiles and
drove over the town, each carrying
broom, representing that a clean
sweep had been made.

the best crop obtainable. They may
be planted now between corn, plant
ing one hill of beans between every
other hill of corn. While providing
most profitable crop, the beans go
further and fertilize the land, being
the leading leguminous crop. The
value of soy beans and peanuts was
also discussed at length. There is a
big demand for soy beans for oil and
food products, and ready markets
can be had for them.
Mr.. McFaddin impressed upon his
hearers the Importance of planting
good gardens. One acre planted in
garden. he said, would yield from
from eight to 10 times as much as
an acre of cotton, if properly planted
and cultivated. A flock of from 81
to 100 chickens should be in every
farmyard. Such flocks will provide
enough to purchase shoes and clothes
for the FAMILY. COlu ClOpo oliou1u w
grown plentifully. Every farmer
should plant plenty of beans to eat,
should have a good sweet potato
patch, and should plant a patch OF
sorghum for the hogs.
He said that it would pay to tertl-
lie heavily now, as the price OF all
farm produce is high, and farmers
should grow just as much as possible.
Close attention should be given to
cultivation.
Help for the negroes was strongly
urged. Negroes are the hardest class
TO be reached in these campaisns. and
he asked every farmer to talk TO MS
tenants. He found that they are
usually ready to cooperate with the
white people, but that they would
not generally pay much attention to
government agents. Naturally the
small farmer will suffer greatest from
any lack of foodstuffs.

HOW WAR WITH AUSTRIA
AFFECTS YOUR COAL BIN
Continued from page FOUR

America.
Our government postponed the
day of declaring war against Austria
because it did not place us at a
disadvantage, partly because their
feeling against us might not be SO
bitter nor their enmity 80 active and
damaging while we yet remained
friendly, and because we were des-
tined to lose some commercial ad-
yantages when we broke relations
with them. Our ambassador and
various kinds of representatives in
Austria must leave there now ana
give up efforts to alleviate suffering
and prevent sacrifices of life, liberty
and property, which they have been
looking after and controlling to some
extent.
If our declaration of war against
Austria had carried with it the same
restrictions as to Austrian subjects
in America as did the declaration
of war against Germany, we should
have lost the labor of hundreds of
thousands of able-bodied men from
our mines and steel mills and other
industries that are already operating
shcrt-handed. But because of the
good conduct and honorable be-
havior of Austrian subjects in Amer
lea, only those whose conduct brings
suspicion upon them will be restrict
ed or interfered with, and by this
magnanimous treatment we may re-
ceive the advantages of their service
added to our national achievements
and at the same time leave them
happy and Independent and not a
charge upon the nation as they
would be If they were discharged
from their work and left without
means of support or required to-
leave the country, in which case they
would probably return to the'c ma
tive land and be impressed into the
armies to fight against us.
The United States government
usually does things on a big, broad,
humane plan, and in this instance
1t will probably rebound greatly to
our benefit.
