Augusta Wins Exhibition Game.

Denmark, August 9. - The
Augusta and Charleston clubs
OF the South Atlantic league played
an exhibition game here Monday aft
ernoon before crowd estimated at
1,0O0. Augusta won the game by a
score of 7 to l. A great many peo-
pie came from nearby towns to wit
ness the affair expecting to see a
real game, but it was 1istless and one
sided and offered very few thrills.
The umpiring of "Steamboat" John
son was the outstanding feature of
the game and it was great pity that
he could not share some Of his pep
with the players of the two teams.
rabbit" Ramsey, who played with
Denmark in the Tri-County league
last season, and who is now playing
right field for the Augusta club, was
given a warm welcome by his many
friends here who are glad to know
that he has made good in the South

Atlantic league.

Was Trimming Springfield.

Ehrhardt, Aug. 9.-Ehrhardt ard
Springfield were playing the final
game of the season between these
teams last Friday afternoon, when,
fortunately for Sprin gfeld her pray
ers were answered in the third inn
ing and the game had to be called.
Ehrhardt had the visitors outclassed
in every department and the whole
team was playing unbeatable ball
when the deluge descended, with the
score standing 3 to against Spring
field. In a very short time the dia-
mond and outfeld on which these
two teams were making base ball his
tory presented the appearance OF a
beautiful lake in which, no DOUBT,
fish were chasing themselves from
first to home plate, and the streets
and sidewalks of the town were rag
ing rivers which could be navigated
only by individuals of Parnellian di-
mensions, or those having canoes or
Fords. It was the opinion of many
that the best game of the season had
been interrupted, and all agreed that
it had been done by one of the larg-
est rains that had ever fallen in Ehr-
hardt.

Prediction.

Washington, Aug. 6.-"With the
coming of cold weather business will
revive" This is the unequivocal
statement of W. G.. P. Harding, gov
ernor of the federal reserve board,
and on economic conditions one OF
the best informed men in the United
States.
Mr.. Harding predicted the cotton
panic and urged the farmers to sell
when their staple was worth 43 cents
in July 1920. His prediction of slim
ulated business the coming fall is
regarded in Washington as signih-
cant. A much better prospect for
cotton Mr.. Harding also predicts.
Last fall" he said, eve had a car
ry-over-crop Of 100000 bales and a
new crop of 100000 plus. Europe
could not buy. Home consumption
was curtailed by virtue Of buyers

crop of approximately 100000 bales
and a new crop Of only 100000. Ex-

of all disease and the promotion Of
the public health
The health officers were evenly di-
vided as to the advisability of going
on record that the pellagra situation
was no worse at the present time than
during recent years. DR.. West de-
clared that while he PRESENTED from
the end of his toes to the top of his
head charges that a veritable condi-
tion of famine existed in the SOUTH
health authorities should realize
the seriousness of the situation. DR..
c. W. Garrison, of Arkansas, took
similar position, while DR.. James A.
Havne, of South Carolina, was among
those who contended that the situa-
tion was no worse than in previous
years.
DR.. L. L. Lundsmen, in charge OF
rural sanitation for the Public Health

serious and said that statement that
it was not worse than in recent years

Bamberg Trims Denmark.

In a game featured by the hitting
and loose fielding by both teams
Bamberg defeated Denmark on the
local diamond last Friday afternoon
by a score of 4 to 8. With the score
standing to in the last half OF
the eighth inning the game had to be
called on account of rain, and as Den
mark had scored one run in her half
and there were no outs for Bamberg
in her half, the game was called back
to the seventh inning, leaving the
score 4 to 3.
Large, the first man to face Gotten,
hit for a home run, the ball going
into the pond in right field. Bat
teries: Bamberg, Whiteside and
Large; Denmark, Gotten and Able.

MILL PROPERTY VALUED HIGH.
Assessments Reach Total of $54, ,750,.
235.

Assessments against South Carolina
cotton mills for the present year total
s54,570,235, according to figures an
nolinced by the South Carolina tax
commission. These figures are the
4 per cent placed by the commission
and represent an increase of little
over s2,000,O00 from 1920.
All mills in the state have been
assessed and the commission has
heard all the representatives who
protested the assessments. In 1920
the assessment against all the mills
was s52,464,905. The increase this
year is derived from new mills and
additions to old plants rather than
actual advances on the same proper
ty of 1920, ". G. Query member of
the commission, said yesterday.
The commission is rapidly COM
pleting the assessments against all
corporations and merchants and the
hearings incident thereto. Only slight
advances are noted in the valuation
for taxation of the fertilizer plants
and cotton seed oil mill companies.
Oil mills in the state were assessed
by the commission at s2,500,435 last
year and the figures announced by
the commission yesterday for 1921
are s2,564,7S5, only a slight advance
from 1920.
Fertilizer plants were assessed at
s4,O54,7S7 last year and the figures
this year are $4,071,S59. Here again
the increase is extremely small.
The commission is investigating
closely all property valuations.

Wife Had Been Making Home With
Son.

Williston, Aug. S.-About 9 o'clock
Monday morning Lee Scott, of the
Shaw's Fork section of Aiken county
was shot to death by his wife, Mrs.
Ada Scott. He was about 60 years
of age and his wife between so and
55. There seems to have been diff
culties between Mr. Scott and his
wife for some time and she has had
to leave home to protect herself
Recently it became necessary for her
to leave and go to the home of her
son, Cohen Scott, who lives at the
Stringfellow mill place near Willis
ton. On hearing that she was there,
Lee Scott demanded that his son
make her return home. This he re-
fused to do and Lee Scott then
started upstairs where his wife was,
leaving Cohen Scott in the yard. 1t
is said he advanced on his wife with
an open knife after making certain
threats and that she picked up a
shotgun to hold him off and tried to
cock the gun and it went off, the
load entering SCOTS body, piercing
his liver. DR.. Gregg Smith, of Will
liston, was summoned, but Scott was
dead before he reached the place. A
coroner's jury brought in verdict
that deceased came to his death from
gunshot wounds at the hands of Mrs.
Ada Scott. Owing to Mrs. SCOTS
physical condition she could not be
carried to the Jail, but bond is being
arranged for her. The killing oc-
Cured in the edge of Barnwell count
ty and officials from both Barnwell

BANIBERG DECLARED WINNER.
Springfield Declines to Play Contest
ed Games Over and Loses.

The second half of the Tri-County
base ball league season closed with
the games last Friday. With the
standing of the clubs at the close of
the season, Springfield had won the
second half of the season, but, as was
announced during the game here be-
tween 'Bamberg and Springfield, Bam-
berg played this game under protest,
on the ground that Springfield had
violated the rules by employing an
ineligible pitcher.
Tuesday morning meeting of the
various club managers was called to
be held in Bamberg. At this meet
ing, the protest of Bamberg was
heard, and also similar protest from
the Barnwell club. A majority of
the managers voted to throw out the
two protested games, and also ord
cred the Springfield-Ehrhardt game
to be played over. This game was
interrupted in the third inning by
rain, but Springfield maintained that
the games could not be played over
as the season had closed. The ruling
was made, however, that there had
been no time limit set for the season.
the rules prescribing that ten games
should be played.
The Springfield manager stated, it
is said, that his team had become
scattered and that Springfield could
not play the games over unless given
considerable time to get together. 1t
was decided that this could not be
granted, as it would put the post
season series too far into the busy
period, whereupon the Springfield
manager forfeited the contested
games, thereby putting Ba:rberg in
the lead for the second half.
The schedule for the post-season
games has not yet been arranged, but
the games will be played within the
next week or two, and the winner Of
three out of the five games will be
declared the pennant winner of the
Tri-County league.

CONSISTENT RISE
MADE BY COTTON
BULGE COMES WITH CONDITION
REPORT.
Under Expectations.
Lowest for Month in TWenty-six Sea-
sOns-Carry-Over Also
Lower.

New Orleans, Aug. 1.-The low
price of this last week in the cotton
market were made on the opening
session and the high prices on the
closing session. From the lowest to
the highest there was a rise of 12S
to 146 points. The close was at net
gains Of 127 to 1876 points. At the
lowest levels the active months were
four points under to five points over
the close of the preceding week and
at the highest they were 127 to 144
points over. October traded down to
11.64, rose to 1910, and closed at
1902. In the spot department prices
gained 125 points on middling which
closed at 1926 against 36.75 a year
ago. ,
The opening session of the week
brought a bulge of over a cent a
pound because Of the bullish show
ing of the governments figures on
the growing crop and much more
favorable annual statistics than ex-
pected. The advance was kept going
by the hot and dry weather in the
belt, especially in the western por-
tions, and complaints that it was
causing severe deterioration. Hot
winds were complained of at times
in the eastern belt, but during the
last half of the week large areas
east of the Mississippi river received
showers. Extremely hot weather
continued to the end of the week in
the west and the closing session
brought official weather returns
showing temperatures of 100 and
above at many points. Texas re-
ported temperatures up to 106 de-
grees and Oklahoma up to 100.
The foundation for the weeks ad-
vance was laid by the governments
report of 64.7 per cent. of normal as
the condition OF the crop on July rs.
This was the lowest percentage of
condition ever returned on that date
and was fully three points under
general expectation. 1t indicated

The outstading feature Of the an

est carry-over on record, was far un-.
der expectation. The trade gener-
ally looked for at least 100000
bales and there were estimates Of
around 100000 and a few as high
as 1O,500,00o. The commercial crop
was smaller than expected, 1,377,-
316 bales against 12,443,1S0 a year
ago but was Offset by the small con-
sumption, 10,500,000 bales against
12,67O,000 last year. These figures

BASE BALL
SPRINGFIELD TRIUNIPHS.
Won Game From Bamberg on Local
Diamond Last Friday.

Springfield won from the locals last
Wednesday at Rhoad park be-
fore one of the largest crowds of the
season. The feature of the game was
the heavy hitting of the visitors and
the great pitching of Gillian for
Springfield, he allowing Bamberg
only seven hits which were wildly
scattered.
Radcliffe started off in the box for
the locals, but after pitching to only
three or four batters and allowing as
many hits, he was yanked in favor of
Whitesides, who finished the game,
although he apparently had no con-
troll over the ball, being his off day.
Bamberg played the game under
protest, claiming that one of the
Springfield players was Ineligible,
having played professional ball, which
is clearly against the rules of the Tri-
County league.
Gillian for Sprin gfeld struck out
II men, and also secured three

stretched into a home run, but he

third and sat down to take a rest.

Note:-The above game was
thrown out at the meeting of man
ayers here Tuesday on account OF

Springfield, being professional, and
was forfeited to Bamberg by Spring

FOR HIGHER PAY FOR WOMEN
Metal Trades Division Of American
Federation Of Labor Listens to
Charges of Exploitation.

Demand that steps be taken to halt
the alleged exploitation of women's
labor by INSCRIPTIONS employers was
made in declaration presented for
consideration before the metal trades
division of the American Federation
of Labor, in session at Denver.
The declaration asserted that there
was no objection to the employment Of
feminine labor, but it must be insisted
on that the woman workers receive
the same consideration and as good
conditions as enjoyed by men.
'Female labor during the war
period" it was stated, received a
primitive knowledge of how to per-
form certain lines Of work and Oper-
ate certain classes of machinery. The
employers are now taking advantage
of this limited training by reducing
the standard as to wages and con-
ditions of employment, first because
of the total lack of organization among
women, and, second, because Of the
great unemployment existing through
out the country; which makes fe-
male labor an exceptionally easy
prey for the unfair and INSCRIPTIONS
employer"

With an increase of only per cent
in the number of manufacturing es-
blishments in operation, Americas in
dustrial products increased $50 per
cent between 1914 and 1919, the census
bureau announced. In 1919, with
28S,375 establishments reported, the
value of products was $62,588,9O5,OO0

ment and clothing, the gross value in
1919 being from 80 to 425 per cent
over that of 1914, with small increase
in the number of plants engaged in
each industry.
