THREE STRIKES
AND BATTER OUT
Few Got Chances to Strike
but All Those Who Did
Knocked "Grounders"

Probably one of the fastest
games of batting and scoring that
mas ever been pulled off in the
same space CT time in the history
OF this United Kingdom took
place in our little city by twilight
Monday evening.
1t was a hard-fought game from
start to fnish--now this side scor-
ING big hit--now that one. Two
teams We're in the feld--all good
men but of course some seemed
better versed in the game than
others. However, they played so
swiftly that it only took nine men
to make up both teams instead of
the usual eighteen.
As the game was hurriedly
matched, no time was given in
which to advertise the affair
when and where it was to be
staged, etc.,-hence the crowd
which attended was comparatively
small to what it would have been
had they only given notice. How
ever, those who were fortunate
enough to occupy a seat in the
srandstand'' were given full value
OF their money
In reporting the big game the
Office Devil brought in the follow
ing Some took bases on balls,
Others famed out while still Others
stole bases like bIazes. One fellow
scored when he hit another in the
eye-.lt was fair hit--and-
made home run. Then the game
was called oif--perhaps on account
OF : of : we'll, we'll say rain.
He reported that no umpire was
chosen, thus causing the devil him
self to have to make the decisions
and they played so fast that part
OF the time he completely lost
track OF the game and, in conse-
quence, he felt that he could not
be able to furnish any proof what
ever for any statement made bv
him. He said that for a short
tlme--and for short time only
they mixed a little football in with
the rest but after some had regis
tered their kicks" this phase of the
game was abandoned.
The players themselves made up
the gate receipts" when they
gathered at the home plate (the
mayors ofice) the next morning
and donated something like
9 X Sl2,S5 to help defray the ex-
penses of the game.
And now the Amusement Com
mlttee for the celebration July 5th
comes forth and tries to book the
attraction for that day Ito take the
place Of fireworks) but at last re-
port some of the players were so
stiff and sore from over-exertion
that they were rather dubious as
to just how far they would be able
to carry their parts were they to
undertake to stage the affair again
Monday.

away they plowed over the last
mad lap of the journey hoping that
some favorable advantage in the

overtake their competitors and win
the race. Both sides hope to COM
plete the journey next Sunday al

Take, for instance, the statement recently
made by Mr.. John w. Saul, a popular
machinist employed at the Ship ards and
residing at No. 105 East Thirteenth
street. He says:
"Plant Juice is certainly the greatest
medicine in the world and it was the only
one OF the numbers of medicines | have
taken that restored me to health. For
months / have been troubled with my
stomach and | could not digest the lightest
kind Of food; it would ferment in my
stomach and cause gas TO form; | would
be doubled up with pain | could not
sleep at night; | was constipated, had
pains in my back; lost in weight, had
poor color in my face; all this time ] had
been doctoring and spent hundreds of
dollars on medicines which did me abso-
lutely no good. Ny druggist recon-
mended Plant Juice to me as he said he
had never heard so many people speak so
highly Of any medicine as he had of Plant
Juice. | took his advice and started to
take Plant Juice. The druggist told me
would not have to pay for it if it did not
relieve me; but j certainly was glad to pay
for it, for after the first few doses / got so
much benefit j continued to take it and
now have fine appetite, sleep at night
and have not pain or an ache. ! have
gained four pounds in weight and have a
good, healthy color. My wife,s father and
mother, when they saw the wonderful
benefit ! got, started to take Plant Juice
also with the same fine results. My re-
covery is nothing short of a miracle and |
would advide everyone who suffers with
stomach trouble to take Plant Juice"
The Plant Juice Man is at the Miller
Drug Store, 40d-406 Market street, where
he is daily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the merits of
this remedy. Free samples given.

AUTO LICENSES TO
BE HIGHER IN 1921
And Less Leniency Be Used In Deal
ing With Violators, Says The
State Inspector

The following from the Greenville
News in reference to the automobile
license tag tax will be equally appli-
cable to this county:
Automobile licenses in Greenville
and throughout the state will be
higher in 1921 than ever before and
less leniency will be exercised in
dealing with violators of the license
regulations, according to Arthur c.
Coward, inspector from the Columbia
Office of the state highway depart
ment, who was visitor to the city
yesterday.
Instead of $5.75, Fords next year
will require license fee Of $6, Mr..
Coward said. Ford trucks, which were
$5.75 this year, will be SIS next year
Other cars will have minimum license
of Sc, with 81 additional for every
500 pounds or fraction thereof above
1000 pounds. This, said Mr.. Coward
will bring many cars as high as SIG
Trucks will come even higher. One
ton trucks will be SIS, two-ton trucks
$50, three-tons, $50, four-ton-$12o,
fve-tons, 5000 and over five, $3.50. A
reduction of Is per cent on these fig
ures will be given where pneumatic
tires are used and trucks over four
tons cannot be operated with spe-
cial state permit.
Mr.. Coward again called attention
to the laws of the state and of the
city of Greenville requiring that a
state license plate be displayed on the
rear of every motor vehicle. No deal
er's tags will any longer be recogniz-
ed on privately-owned cars, he said,
and pasteboard markers likewise will
not suffice. The Greenville police de-
partment and Sheriff Willis office are
lending every cooperative aid posi-
BILE, Mr.. Coward asserted and stict
compliance with the law here is
therefore, almost certain.
Mr.. Coward further said that the
auto license registration books in Co.
lumbia will open this year on De-
cember 10, earlier than usual, in or
der that the registration may be com
pleted, as the law requires, by Feb
ruary 1.

NO CORPORATION TO
DELIVER RECOGNITION
TO THE MEXICANS
State Department Makes An Au
thoritative Statement On The
Matter Today

Matter Today
Washington, Nov. 17.-No corpor
ations and no group of individuals, is
going "to deliver American recogni.
ton to Mexico" it was stated au.
thoritatively today at the State De-

constitution provided the operation
Of the article did not infringe upon
the rights of Americans in Mexico.
Officials added, however, that il
the operation of the laws enacted
under Article 81 were confiscatory
or retroactive, the United States
could not accord recognition. The
United States, it was declared, is
acuated solely by desire to pro,
tect all valid interests of American
in Mexico.
In their discussion of Mexican
recognition, officials disclosed that
various American corporations and
citizens having interests in the SOU
thern republic had filed with the De-
partment statements of their de.
sires in the way of protection and
guaranty protection before recogn.
ton is accorded. The statements
were filed in response to invitations
from the Department which in con-
sidering the question of recognition
sought information as to the present
condition of the industries, the re-
suit of the application of the Mexi-
can laws and similar points. These
statements are now in the solicitors
Office under consideration.
Action of the Mexican supreme
court on several cases now before
that body brought by American
companies in their fight for protec-
tion also is waited by the State De.
against the application of the Car
partment. These suits are directed

Article 27 in force.
