The situation as it stands today finds minor leaSues set adrift as they wanted to be. with the major leagues taking an attitude which leaves the minors to their own salvation. When Hermann signed the agreement with the minors, he naturally expected that the heads Of the two major leagues would do likewise. That is where Hermann made a mistake, because the document is of no value without the signatures of the major league heads and if they do not change their present attitude the minors will have no connection what ever with organized ball.

sHREwD STRANGER GETS
MANY sALUDA SUCKERS

Monday afternoon an unknown
stranger came to Saluda and took
out probably several hundred dollars
of good. saluda money By q; shrewd
and newSmethod Geo far as saluda Is
|concerned.) The fishing was good
with him, the suckers falling all over
themselves to bite. First, he sold
finger rings Tor Soc. cache afterwards
returning the money paid in by,each
Of the buyers. and to some giving
double their money back. Then be.
sold razers for $500 each, likewise
returning their money. Then be- sold
|a number, Of 81 bills for Soc and s5
bills for 81. When he had them bait
ed realswell and the suckers we're
falling all over themselves for q
chance TO take the hook and run nm.
der a log with it, he commenced sell
ing watches at S. each. Some say
that as many as 100 were sold, some,
men buying one, some two, some
three and some as many as four, all
Of them expecting to have their
money returned and to be allowed to
keep the watches. However at the end
Of the watch selling, there was no
talk Of any refund and those pur-
chasing went away sadder and wiser
men. Some Of Saluda's staid business
men bit like little school; children, and
now if some friend tries to sell you a
watch and chain that, looks like gold,
don't bite, for all is not gold that
glitters." s
The unknown stranger was taken
IN by Policeman Edwards and Sheriff
Sample after his little game had been
played, and contributed $50 to the
county's Golfers for peddling without
a license. He had previously paid
the town license Of SIS. Let US all
hope that our people will not bite SO
easily next time and that the county
board will use that $50 in putting
back few bridges between Saluda
and Ridge Springs, especially the one
just this side Of Frank Carwile's.-
