The New Ulm baseball nine won its
second game when they defeated the

management gave everyone Of the local
players chance to play.
Bruzek Starts Game.
Spottie Bruzek started the game for
New Ulm, but before he could get
started the visitors had touched him
for three hits and had put one run
across the plate. The next six men
that faced him in the second and third
innings were struck out and in the
fourth inning one more hit was made
loft of him. In the sixth inning Ha-
mann, the local high school twirler,
was put in the box and given a tryout
and he held the visitors to two hits in
three innings, striking Sout four Of the
opposing batters. In the last inning,
Miller, who wanted a tryout with the
local team, was put in the box and
allowed the visitors one HIT.
Hitting Of Locals Feature.
The feature Of the game was the
hitting Of the New Ulm batters who.
touched the opposing twirler for total
of fourteen hits. Pfeiffer lead the
field with a sacrifice fly, two doubles.

FOR ExToRTIoN.
CALLS UPON PERSONS STILL
HAVING BLooD-MoNEY
TO RETURN IT.

A. D. Wilson, former Federal food
administrator for Minnesota, and his
unscrupulous hireling, Vidian B. WYE,
came in for considerable condemnation
at the hands of the grand jury at the
recent term of the Mcleod county
district court in Glencoe, according to
the. Mcleod County Republic of that
place. WYE, it will be. remembered,
was indicted by the grand jury during
the December term Of the Brown coun-
ty district court in 1919 and subse-
quently plead guilty to the charge Of
extortion and was fined 500 and costs
by Judge I. M. Olsen.
Wheat Thieves Condemned.
The Mcleod county grand jury,
during it's recent session, adopted a
resolution pertaining to the wholesale
robbery, which was perpetrated upon
farmers in that county by Wye, while
working under the direction of Former
Food Administrator Wilson, and con
demned both men for their actions in
no uncertain terms. 1t is believed
that if the statute of limitations was
not protecting WYE and Wilson, the
grand jury would have returned al
Indictment, instead Of a resolution re
buking them.
War Used as Cloak.
According to the resolution adopted
by the Mcleod county grand jury
this body found that wye and Wilson
as well as several other persons, usee
the World war as a cloak, while they
extorted sums of money in the shap,
of fines, Red Cross donations, etc.
from farmers in that county. All o
the money which came into the hands
of the Red Cross through these chan
nels has been returned to its owners
but there are number of sums still il

Wheat Gifts Preferred.

An effort is being made to secure
contributions Of corn or preferably
wheat from the Catholic farmers Of
this archdiocese. The season of wheat
planting is over and the farmer knows
what he needs for his own use. He can

SUNDAY SCHOOL TIME
\ in SOUTH CAROLINA
-.LH.tH -
(By Jas. D. Grist.)

York, S. c., July 19.-It is coun-
ty Sunday school convention time in
South Carolina. Within the next six
weeks no less than thirty Sunday
school conventions are to be held
later on in the fall. Ten have al
ready been held. OF the ten that
were held practically every one was
larger than last years convention.
That is there was larger attend
ance, more Sunday schools repre-
sented and more general interest
manifested. .
It is predicted that the same facts
will hold regarding the thirty to be
| held in the next six weeks. More
Sunday school workers will attend.
More fried chickens will be: tleees-
}sary: for, the; {: refreshment 4of the
lvisitors. But there are plenty of
Efried chickens in Sonth Carolina and
the presidents Of the respective
county conventions who are even
now working on plans for their re-
spective meetings have adopted as a
slogan 'sthe more the merrier."

THE SAVANNAH RIVER BRIDGE

Some days ago the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce along with
others, who are interested, in the
proposed bridge across the Savannah
River, made trip to Columbia and
appeared before the State Highway
Commission for the purpose Of furth-
ering the proposed building, of this
bridge. It is now said that before
anything can be done by the State
Highway Commission and before we
may expect aid from the Federal
authorities it will be necessary to
have the road surveyed and plans
made for the. bridge along with an
estimate of its probable cost.
That sounds like the State High
way Commission will proceed in this
matter along business lines, and we
should be prepared to do the same
thing. IfHthe people are really in
earnest in this matter, the people on
this side of the river ard those on
the other side as well. we should
get busy at once looking to the To-
cation Of the road leading towards
Elberton, and the building of the
bridge and we should have all the
facts and figures in hand for the
next meeting of the state body.
e We have before remarked that we
regard the building of this bridge as
matter of considerable importance
to the people of this county. If, as
most people believe, travel in the fu-
ture, as well as short hauls of freight
/. is to be by dirt roads instead OF over
thesr railroads, it is greatly to our in
terest to be on the map in the very
beginning. We should be connected
with the towns along the Seaboard
in South Carolina and it will be of
great profit !. to US to be connected
with towns like Elberton and Athens,
especially the latter city, where our
merchants buy largely even now.
The Chamber Of Commerce and
its secretary, Mr.. Barnes, will not
do a better work than to keep after
this bridge until it is built. And the
people of the city will serve their
own interests best when they lend
their desperation in the work.

the checks cashed in Greenwood.
AS he drove out of town one or two
who thought perhaps they had not
taken on enough, called after him to
let them have another case Of Haig
& Haig, or Johnnie Jones or any
thing else he had, and after looking
over his hand Mr.. Reeves discovered
that he did have one or two cases left
which he was saving for himself, and
at the urgent insistence of those who
had sickness in the family, he reluct-
antly parted with his own private
stock just to show that he was not
selfish.
Well, everything looked "nicely"
as Corp. KerT's late butler, John
White, would put it,abut late in the
afternoon the shipments had not ar
rived. They hadn't arrived at 9
o'clock and though the purchasers
waited faithfully the shipments were
still undelivered at IL o'clock, and
they are still undelivered. In the
meantime Mr.. Reeves "cashed in"
nd went on to the next town. he
figured, no doubt, that his purchasers
would be as well off without the re-
freshments as with them, especially
as peaches and watermelons and
apple cider are coming in, and be-
sides ne needed the money and there
were people elsewhere to whom he
wished to minister.
Mr.. Reeves was certainly a nice
looking gentleman, they do say, and
he certainly could talk they say also,
and one gentleman who was a little
wiser than sope Of the others says
that he could load more liquor in a
Cadillac than. any man he ever saw
before anyway. His friends in Able
vile are hoping to meet him some
day they say but as for buying liquid
refreshments from him again,-well,
nevermore.

SHOT IN SHOULDER
IN RAID ON STILL

Anderson Daily Mail.
Late Saturday afternoon Deputy
Wade Shelton, Rural Officers Bell
and Kay, Revenue Officer V. B. Mar
ton and Sam McAdanns, Of Iva,
made raid on a still on Boss Nc
Adams place about two miles from
Antreville and succeeded in captlr-
ing still and two negroes who
were helping in the operation Of the
still. as = ....,.. 's....'
Sidney Smith was arrested and an
other negro, Tobe Newell, was shot
by the officers before he could be
captured. Tobe Newell is reported
to be regular giant physically, and
when the officers approached near
the location of the stilkNewell began
firing a Winchester rifle on the Off
GERS and running away at the same
time. Several of the officers return
ed the fire and one shot took effect
in the right shoulder Of Newell. Two
other negroes and a white man made
good their escape. The still was
located in a dense piece of woods
which made it difficult for the officers
to follow the three men who escap-
ed. -. -. ia. "~!-i ).
Tobe Newell was brought to the
Anderson county hospital, where,
With little difficulty physicians locat-
ed and removed the bullet which was
lodged just under his ribs on the
side. His condition is not serious
and it was thought this morning that
he could be released from the hospi-
tai today! He Will then be placed in
the county Jail.
Officers stated that only about
four gallons of whiskey were found
at the still, but that from all indica-
tions a big run was being completed.
They found five empty barrels which
appeared to have been emptied Of
their contents of 't1nash" recently
and it was supposed that probably
several gallons of whiskey had beer
removed from the still befosei they
get there. The distillery was a com.
pIete copper outfit. of >abous. 80 gal

Need the buyer cry?
After a day of pleasant anticipa-
tions yesterday there are a few of
our citizens today who are somewhat
wiser if thirstier men. And it was
all caused by Mr.. j. o. Reeves. Mr..
Reeves arrived in the city yesterday.
He approached a number. Of those
who have not had anything for the
stomach's sake, except Savannah
River corn, for quite awhile. He
said to them with his most bewitch-
ing smile that he understood they
liked a little liquid refreshments eve
ry now and again, and they 'fessed
that they did. "Well," declared Mr..
Reeves, "what you want, I have
got," or words to that general effect.
The said liquid refreshments, Mr..
Reeves declared, had been forwarded
to him in two cars and he was to
meet the cars near Greenwood where
it was necessary that he make settle
ment, and, therefore, he asked his
purchasers to make settlement with
him in advance so that he could pay
for the refreshments, when the same
would be sent on direct from produc-
er to consumer. This was promptly
done. Some of the greediest Of our
citizens, it is said, tried to take the
whole shipment, and few of them
combined did in fact do so, so that
Mr.. Reeves did not have enough to
go all the way round. The fact is that
he did not have any at all for those
who do our buying on a credit be-

offered to put up any kind Of collat-

insisted that it was "cash in advance"
so that they had to take a back seat.

parties necessary to take up his ship

DO 1T YOURSELF.

Governor Manning has returned
from England where he went in the
interest of the cotton growers of the
outh. He learned something while
over there which all of US should have
learned long ago, and that is, if we
want anything we must 60 and get
it. Nobody is going to bring US pros
perity on a silver waiter and lay it
in our laps. That is true with regard
to cotton and it is true with regard
to other things.
When the farmers learn that they
must not raise more cotton than the
world demands. if proper price is
wanted, they will have solved the
problems relating to the profitable
producing of cotton. They must help
themselves. What is true Of the far.
