at Sumter was great, I am told" There
were about 500 veterans present, ac-
cording to Dr. Erwin's estimate.
The Man Who Wins.
Said one this morning: '1Therc is q
little poem written by Gather Allison,
which anybody will do we'll to read. 1t
goes something like this:
If you think you are beaten-you are,
If YOU think you don't dare-you don't,
If you'd like to win but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose-youVe lost,
For out in the world you
Success begins with fellows will
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many q race is lost
Ere even a step is run,
And many q coward fails
Ere even his works begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind,
Think that you can and you Will,
It's all in the state Of mind.
If you think you're outclasscd--you are,
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure Of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late, the man who WINS,
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
Let's Go.
"Why not q baseball park for the
town." uueried Hal Mackorel, we'll
known young business man Of York
vile, yesterday. LAS you know work
is now going on on a swimming pool TO
he located on the Montgomery lands on
the northeastern outskirts OF town. The
place is ideal for a baseball diamond
and I don't believe that there is any
thing in the way Of Il public amuSc-
ment place that would be appreciated
more by people generally than good
baseball park with a grandstand--some
where to sit down in the shade, don't
you know? l believe that lot large
enough for q park could be leased for
q term Of years at very reasonable
figure and / believe that people II ap-
preached about it would come across
with private subscriptions in a sum
sufficient to bear the expense of leaS-
ing the land and building the grand
stand. 1t has been a long time since
the old town has had real baseball
park There is more baseball interest
in town now than have known in Il
long time and l believe that now is the
time TO start something. At least I'd
like TO hear what folks have got TO SLY
about it, Why not let's go?'
Unsportsmanlike.
There is no question Of the bad taste
of those shots in the otherwise re-
markab,e musical reproduction of the
fox race at the chautauqua last Mon
day.
The reporter for The Enquirer has
never enjoyed the pleasure of fox
hunt; but'he has talked to Dan Lattl-
more, Arch Steele, Mon Oates and
others enough to get some idea OF the
game as well as fair appreciation of
the music. Just what those Old
hunters would have thought about 1t
if they had been there, of course Is
only matter of surmisc; but II Is
quite certain that none Of them would
have stood for those shots-not after
such a race as was indicated by the
hoo1s of the horses, the barking OF the
dogs. etc.
County Treasurer Neil was sitting
next to Views and Intcrvicws during
the performance. II would not be IAN
to say that he enjoyed all the highbro"
music AS thoroughly us did some OF
the others present: hut before the per-
formers got we'll into the fox race. he
began to- take notice. He used to hum
foxes a. little in his younger days.

But when pistols cracked his rra

disappointed expression, and he SAID:
