HANDLES 10000 BALES COTTON.
Exports and Imports Corporation Has
Fair Profit.

Columbia, Aug. 17.-During its
brief existence the American Prod
ucts, Exports and Imports Corporation,
of which former Governor Richard l.
Manning, of South Carolina. is the
executive head, has handled more
than $4,000 bales of cotton, two
thirds of which was for exports, and
has made a fair profit over expenses,
according to statement from the
president of the corporation this af-
ternoon. Joseph Walker, general
manager, is now in Europe, looking
over the export field and comforting
with the corporations representa-
tives there. Regardless of competi-
ton, the corporation pays the mark
ct price for cotton and more than
s1,SO0,0OO has been paid out to South
Carolina farmers for cotton since the
inception of the enterprise. The cor
poration has at least 5000 stockho]d-
ers, the majority of which are resi-
dents of North and South Carolina
and some of them from Georgia.
Relative to the financial condition of
the enterprise, the statement fol-
lows:
GA stock of cotton equal to that
subscribed to the capital stock of the
corporation and the liberty bonds
subscribed to the capital stock have
been kept intact. The cash paid in
on subscriptions to the capital stock,
amounting to S133,529.23 has been
used as a working capital. We have
esta blished good lines of credit. We
have paid out to the cotton growers
in South Carolina more than $780,
900. We have paid off all organiza-
ton expenses amounting to S20,70O,
have paid all operating expenses and
show a satisfactory profit to July 1.
We have made good foreign connec-
tions and have our representatives
abroad.

THE POST SEASON SERIES.
B. c. Boland Writes His Side of Con-
troversy and Pres. Black Replies.

The Williston Way, of August 18th,
published the following communi-
cation from B. C. Boland, of Spring
field:
Editor N'illiston Way,
''Williston, S. c.
"Sir:-I have noticed from time to
time that you have devoted consider
able space in your columns during
the past few weeks to the baseball re-
suits of the Tri-County league.
The season as per schedule closed
on Friday, August ), 1921; at which
time Springfield was at the top of
the percentage columns.
By virtue of the president and
others the last game with Bamberg
and the last game with Barnwell were
thrown out and ordered played over
after the season closed. And | might
add that the Barnwell game was
was thrown out without protest and
without request of the Barnwell man
agement. President Walsh of the
South Atlantic League, so per tele-
gram of August Sth, states that
games cannot be played off after the
season closes, however, in so far as
certain ones connected with the
great Tri-County league are concern
ed, Mr.. Walsh is no authority on base
ball and consequently Springfield has
been ordered to practically play the
second half over again in order that
Bamberg may have another chance
for the honors.
We have therefore conceded our
claim to those who must have it and
I merely wish to state further that
when we entered the league, it was
not our understanding that any one
team should be the winner and that
We regret very much the unfortunate
occurrence which is bound to be a
backset to good baseball hereafter.
However, we are withdrawing on
top in the percentage column and We
hope that Bamberg and Williston are
both contented and that no further
steps shall be necessary in order for
them to battle in peace.
Respectfully,
B. c.. BOLAND.

SHERIFF LOSES BIG STILL.
Outfit Stolen Friday Night and Haul
ed Away in Automobile.

Greenwood, Aug. 20.-No develop
ments had come to light tonight in
the robbery of a 50-gallon still from
the sheriff's Office, few hours after
it's capture. Officers declare they
had clues which might lead to ar
rests. The still, the largest ever
captured in this county, was taken
boldly out of the front door of the
court house and hauled away Friday
night.
The copper outfit was in full op-
Grafton when captured Friday after
noon on the Greenwood county side
of Saluda river, a short distance
above Smiths bridge. A negro,
Chester Hawkins, according to Off
GERS, was catching the liquor in a
Jug as it ran from the still. Haw-
kins was arrested and admitted to
Jailer T. W. Mcmillan tina had
been helping make liquor vt the
still. Besides the still, 20 gallons of
corn liquor and "a 60-gallon mash
barrels, all but II of which had
been run, were captured.
The theft of the still from the
sheriff's office is regarded by Of
fcers as the most audacious in the
annals of the county. Thieves appar-
emily gained entrance through a
window and unlocked the doors from
the inside. The still was taken out
through the front door, loaded in an
automobile or truck and carried aWay
without being discovered. Officers
did not discover the robbery until
they came to the office this morning.

BURIED CITY EXCAVATED.
Will Be Feature Of Mexican Centen-
nial Exposition.

San Juan de Teotihuacan, Mexico,
Aug. "a force of 800 workmen is
engaged in rushing to completion the
excavation of the buried city here in
an attempt to make it one of the
show places during the Centennial
Exposition opening next month. The
most modern scientific devices are
being used to dig out the city which
thousands of years ago before it dis
appeared, boasted of population of
at least 100000, according to Manuel
Gamio, in charge of the reconstruc-
ton.
When the excavations are complete
the city with it's streets, temples, resi-
dences, stores and baths surround
ing huge plaza will be exposed. The
government is giving liberal financial
assistance to the work.

BODY IN RAILROAD DITCH.
Special Agent of Atlantic Coast Line
Charleston Man.

Florence, Aug. 29.-Missing since
Wednesday night, the body of J. l..
Motto, of Charleston, special officer
of the Atlantic Coast Line police de-
partment was found lying in the ditch
by the railroad tracks mile and a
half north of New Hope. Section
hands who found the body were un-
able to identify it. Word was soon
received from Charleston that Mr..
Motto had been missing and the body
was identified by railroad officers who
went to the spot from Florence.
Mr. Notes neck had been broken
and his body had every appearance
of having been badly bruised. 1t is
supposed that the officer was. thrown
from the top of the freight train on
which he was travelling by some per-
son whom he was attempting to ar
rest.
Mr.. Notes pistol and his fash
light were found some distance from
the body. There were no papers in
his pockets. Mr.. Motto had not been
heard from since Wednesday night,
when he left here on Charleston
bound freight train. That day he
brought two prisoners here from
Charleston. He was thirty years old
and unmarried.

they had their own bylaws to go by.
"The bylaws of the Tri-County
league that made every director, ex-
cept Springfield, feel it his duty to
vote that these games be played over,
state that the season shall commence
on May 31st, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, and further state that
the season will consist of twenty
games divided into halves of ten
games EACH They also state that
all games thrown out by the president
of the league on account of protest
being upheld must be played over.
The bylaws say nothing about when
the season shall close except that
twenty games shall be played.
"As Springfield had only played
seven games in the second half she
had three more to play. The direct
ors were perfectly right in ordering
these games played and when Spring
field refused to play them, she auto
matically withdrew from the league
and forfeited one game to Ehrhardt,
one to Barnwell, and one to Bamberg.
These are the true facts concern
ing this unfortunate occurrence, and
I sincerely hope that the public will
see them as the directors Of the Tri-
County league did. If Springfield
had stuck to the bylaws and had not
played an Ineligible player this
trouble would never have come up.
But it was her own fault. so she must
suffer.
Il will appreciate it if you will
give this letter the same publicity
that you gave Mr.. Boland's.

BASE BALL
WILLISTON TAKES PENNANT.
Wins Three of Five Post-SeasOn Sc
ries Deciding Championship.

By winning the game Friday after
noon, Williston won the champion
ship of the Tri-County league, haV-
ing defeated Bamberg three games to
two in the post-season series.
1t is a pleasure to state that this
important series was played without
kick from either side. Hyde Smith,
from Orangeburg, umpired the en-
tire series to the satisfaction Of both
teams.
While the home team was little
disappointed in not winning the pen
nant, they have no excuse to offer
nor do they wish to take any glory
from Williston for having defeated
them. The home boys were pretty
confident of winning over their op-
ponents, as Bamberg was conceded
to have the better team, but base
ball is a very uncertain game and the
life of the national game is the un-
certaint;es of it. Williston played
hard and won without question and
the Bamberg team, as we'll as the
fans, wish to give three cheers to
their opponents for the honors they
have won. They are clean set OF
ball players and fans and it was a
pleasure to play ball with them, not
only in Bamberg but in Williston, as
we'll.

two defeats. 1t was then up to me
to act and according to the bylaws
governing this league it was perfectly
clear what 1 had to do. Realizing,
however, that was a Bamberg man,
l decided to put this question up be-
fore the board of directors. At this
meeting each team in the league had
one vote except Barnwell, which did
not have a representative present.
Mr.. Boland insinuates that I had quite
a bit to do with ordering the games
played over. However, did not even
have to vote at the directors meeting
as it was so plain that Springfield
was wrong in her contentious that
the vote stood 4 to 1 against her.
THE telegram that I received from
Mr.. Walsh, of the South Atlantic
league, read as follows: In our
league no games can be played after
the close of the season. However
have been Informed that the bylaws
Of the South Atlantic league call for
the season to close on certain day.
Naturally then they would be break
ing their bylaws if they played
game after the day set for the closing
day. This telegram was shown the
directors at this meeting but had no
bearing whatever on their actions as

"Aug. 10th, 1921.
editor Williston Way,
"Williston, S. C.
'tSir:-I read with regret the let
ter from Mr.. B. C. Boland, Of Spring
field, published in your paper OF Aug.
IS, regarding the unfortunate end
ing of the Tri-County league. AS Mr..
Boland is misleading the public in re-
gard to some OF the facts, as he is not
stating all of the facts, feel that in
justice to myself as president of the
league and to the gentlemen manag-
ing the teams of Williston, Denmark,
Bamberg and Ehrhardt, the public
should know the whole truth and
then I will leave it to them as to
whether Springfield or the Tri-County
league was at fault.
The facts are these: In the last
half Of the Tri-County league season,
Springfield used a pitcher named Gill
liam against Barnwell and Bamberg,
and Springfield won both games.
Bamberg protested the game that
Gillian pitched on Aug. 3rd against
Bamberg, and on Aug. 9th the case
came up before me. 1t was proved
beyond any doubt that Gillian had
pitched professional ball for Newport
News Va, and for Griffin, Ga. Spring
field did not even refute this testi-
mony. The editor of The Sporting
News, st. Louis, Mo-, gave us this in
formation and it was verified by the
owner of the Newport News club.
Therefore it became my duty as presi-
dent of the league to throw out this
game. The directors Of the league
also requestd me to throw out the
game that Springfield had won from
Barnwell when Gillian pitched. All
of the directors were in favor of this
except the one representing Spring
field. AS there is a rule in this
league that a game does not have to
be protested by the losing team but
that any director can bring case up
before the president, this game was
also thrown out.
"Springfeld then contended that the
season had closed on Aug. 5th, and
that she would not have to play these
games over. If this had been fact
Springfield would have won the pen
nant for the second half by percent
age with six victories and one defeat
against Bamberg's seven victories and
