came forward, went to the top and
got the bill, amid the shouts of the
crowd.

Cooper. The governor will consider
the request for the election on the

! The Lexington Dispatch-News is
considerably worried over the effort
of some good Lexingtonians to annex
themselves to Newberry. Their in
terest is natural, under the circum-
stances, but Mr.. Walker, who halls
from the good old county of Able
willie, and Mr.. Sigh, who comes from
[Newberry, have failed in this instance
to recognize a good thing when they
see it. Lexington is good county
one of the best in the State-but
people can hardly be blamed for
wanting to be able to get to their
county seat without having to 60
through the county seat of another
county to do so.
And, by the way, Messrs. Walker
and Sigh have started out along the
line Of getting out mighty good
paper over in Lexington. They are
both good newspaper men, and they
succeeded a mighty good newspaper
men when they secured Mr.. Sam. J.
Leaphart's interest in the paper. And
they are retaining a good associate
editor; too, in Mr. G. m. Harman.
When Lexington builds that good
road from Lexington over to Bates
burg, and clears up the difficulties
between here and Augusta, she will
have 9 better chance against New
berry-though everybody knows that
a road couldn't be much worse than
the Newberry part of the road be-
tween Columbia and Newberry. But
II was talking to party of tourists
here this morning, who had come
from New York, and who were won
dering if they could get to Augusta
without serious trouble. Possibly
when Governor Cooper gets his good
roads measure enacted at the next
session of the general assembly, the
roads between Columbia and Angus
lta, and between Columbia and New
berry, will be taken care of. So far
las the amount of travel is concerned,
There are no more important roads
lin the State.

The action of Comptroller General
Osborne, in reducing the State tax
levy from nine and one-half to nine
mills is in line with the flexible levy
which has in the past two years
been adopted by the legislature. Mr..
Osborne has about sized up the Sit
uation, also, when he contends that
all property ought to be assessed on
one hundred per cent. basis, and
the levy reduced proprotionately.
That is the only way South Carolina
can ever have an equitable assess
ment of property for the purposes of
taxation.
It has been urged by some former
governors, and by some members of
past assemblies, that the best way to
get at an equitable assessment Of
property for taxation would be to
have a State board to figure upon
the amount Of the appropriation bill,
and the relative values in the differ
ent counties, and assess each county
so much, and let the various counties
assess their property with this in
view. If everything were figured on
a basis of one hundred per cent,
however, there would be no necessity
for this. And it would amount to
the same thing. What is the use for
every fellow to estimate what he
owns and then work a sum in long
or short division?

Baseball Bug Harmless

Baseball bugs are harmless, though
violent They're neither muzzled nor
thrown into padded cells. If they were
there wouldn't be enough population
outside to run the works.
The baseball bug ought to make a
good moving picture star. He can
register love, hate, joy, gloom, pleas
ure, anger, fear, scorn, murder, faith
hope and charity. He's some register
and the Dayton company has no patent
on him.
Baseball bugs are the same America
over only in Cincinnati they're little
more so. It really is the first chance
they've had to play their full roper
tory. The Cincy bug is buggier than
any of the other bugs. Cincinnati is
truly bughOuse.
A resident of Cincinnati has it on
the rest of the hundred and-some mil
lions-he can forget the high cost of
living, Shantung and other unpopular
topics of the day. For there is only
one topic in Cincinnati and that is the
doings of Pat Moran's Reds.
In Chicago it's different. They're
buggy there, but they've been real
buggy these many years. They are
veterans. They've had many occasions
to go buggy. The little ones have
grown up buggy, all because the White
Sox and Cubs have out sliced the
world series pie.
There is no limit 10 the ID. Is. bug.

This conquest wound up a glorious
career for Man O. War for the season.
The colt started ten times and only
was beaten once. That was due to a
combination of unfortunate circum-

with Colin, Sysonby, Artful and the

Man O. War added S26,650 to his

No More Short Seasons,
Say Baseball Moguls

No more short seasons? That's the
cry of the magnates in both major
leagues.
The 140-game season tried this year
has the club owners standing on their
ear when they figure the money that
has been lost through the departure
from the usual 154-game schedule.
The plan, suggested and pushed
through by Ban Johnson, president of
the American League, was adopted to
safeguard the club owners against the
slump in sporting interest that some
pessimists had predicted as an after
math of the war. But it worked just
the other way. Sports are on the
biggest boom of history. Especially
has the revival of interest been noticed
in baseball. Crowds have jammed the
yards of all major league teams. Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, New York, Chicago
and Detroit have been unable to take
care of the Sunday and holiday crowds.
