CHAINGANG PROGRESS.

mo, the chaingang will not be ready
to move to the western side of the
county September l." said Supervisor
Hugh G.. Brown yesterday, when asked
about the matter.
1--WE had calculated some weeks ago
that the chaingang would be ready to
move September l." Supervisor Brown
went on TO say; but it is evident now
that the road work on the eastern side
will hardly be completed before Octo-
ber /, although it might be that the
chaingang will be ready to move a few
days before that time.
There are certain requirements
that the road in Catawba township
that we are building will have to. meet
before it is acceptable to the state
highway commission for taking over
by them" the supervisor went on 70
say. There is considerable shaping
up to be done and more or less patch
work to be done.
For these reasons the chainganc
will not be ready to move Septem-
ber l."

SIDE LINE STUFF

- Mister Jimmie Helton held 'eni to
one hit. in Cowpens yesterday.
THIRTEEN and here's hoping il
will be fourteen wins with this after
Moons game.
Here's hoping those three games
are arranged with Shelby next week
for the benefit of the players.
- The dope" is that the Cowpens
team has been materially strengthened
since their last appearance on the
YOrkville lot.
old "Toots" Gaulden is expected to
pitch for the LegiOnaires at COwperS
this afternoon while Sanders, south
paw formerly with the strong Lockhart
team will be IN the box for Cowpens
A number Of YOrkville fans went over
this morning for the game.
- Four games will be played in York
vile this week as follows; the games
being called at 4.3O each afternoon:
dnesday-Cowpens.
hursday-Cowpens.
Friday-Caroleen.
Saturday-Caroleen.
- Hickory Grove took two out OF
three from Winnsboro at Winnsboro
last week. They won Wednesday and
Thursday, Ga and 14-12 respectively
but lost the concluding game Of the
series Friday, Is to 3. According to
Jean Hood of Hickory Grove, Winns-
horo ran in a bunch of ringers for the
.finm game. getting them from Colum-
/ Charlotte and Great Falls, and
t Hickory Grove lads were simply
oLtclassed.
-"Dody" Phillips lost the omega
of a good pair of baseball trousers in
the game with Caroleen ut Glover on
Saturday afternoon, when he tried to
stretch a two-basf hit into a three
bagger When he slid into third the
seat of the trousers just gave away
and there "Dody' was. Manager Will
Smith quickly pinned them up, how
ever, after a couple of fellows contrib
uted the safety pins that they were
using TO hold up their socks and
"Dody" continued to play his usual
good game.
While the American Legion base
ball management expects to end the
season with the completion of this
weeks schedule, three games may be
played with Shelby next week. Mana
ger "Jawn" Hart has called mSetlne
of the baseball advisory council 70 be
held tomorrow morning at Whlcn Time
it will be proposed to the players thai
they arrange a three game series with
Shelby to be played in Yorkville next
week. 1t is proposed that the gate
receipts from those three games be
divided equally between the Shelby
players and the Larrupers, the players
to pay all expenses out of thelreceipts
The matter is expected to be definitely
determined the meeting tomorrow.
The American Legion Larruper!
walked away with Cowpens at Cow
pens yesterday afternoon, So. Heltor
pitched for the soldiers while Fowler
pitched for the home team. a dis
graceful feature of the game was ar
attack on>the umpire, Cowpens man
by a Cowpens fan following the game
According to several Yorkville people
who attended the game, the Cowpens
fan was sore because he lost $50 or
Cowpens and proceeded to take it Out
on the umpire, pummeling him pretty
severely. According TO the Yorkville
fans, the umpire was one of the fairest
and squarest jumps they have seen of
ficiating this season and the attack
was a most dastardly one.

Whatever the people of this country
may think of Russian political condi-
tions. there can he no difference ot
opinion on the subject that starving
Russians must be fed, and most
Americans will rejoice first that TINS
country is able to do the feeding, ana
second that it is willing to do it. 1t IS
estimated right now that to give the
desired relief to the Russians 1t IS go
ing to cost America something IKE
$2.OOO.C coo Il month, and probably more;
but as to this there are few Americans
who will raise the slightest obJectioh'
On the contrary the people as whole
are rejoicing over the splendid mis-
sion of mercy upon which the cour4rE
mas embarked and they are willing TO
nav aU bills that may be necessary.

Although always worth something,
there has never been any intelligent
consistent effort in this country to
standardize domestic corn as com
mercial commodity. There are num-
Der of reasons for this situation; but
the most obvious, probably lies in the
fact that established demand and cS-
tabIshcd foreign market conditions
have long favored the foreign product
as against the local product. The
local dealer has found it more convcn-
lent TO bring in Western corn than t0
gather up and resell local corn and he
has never been disposed to encourage
traffic in local corn. To be sure the
zeal dealer has handled local corn and
he does handle it; but generally it is
with a flavor of special favor attach
ed. That is the dealer gives the would
he seller to feel that corn is something
than can be obtained in the general
market at all times in any quantity
desired, and to handle the local pro-
duct involves a little going out Of the
way-this Notwithstanding that both
buyer and seller understand that good
quality local corn that has been care
fully handled is always superior to the
foreign product. But this situation can
easily be changed to the very great ad-
vantage of both seller and buyer; and
one of the first and most important
steps To such change involves the
putting of this corn in good market
able shape The task of doing this
naturally and properly devolves upon
the seller. BY good marketable shape
he should understand that the corn
should first be properly selected, and
then sheled and sacked in two busheI
sacks. Let the corn in the Shuck and
ear be reserved for trading and barter
ing among farmers. The carefully
selected local corn will be available for
sale to local people who need such
for the wholesale markets. 1t is not
to be assumed that there is Il great
deal Of promise for the development of
corn as a staple money crop for this
section either now o. in the immediate
future; but nevertheless the CONNER
cial quality of local corn is susceptible
pared with present conditions.

Is that the way the gentleman from

The Republicans claim to have rcduc'
