BOYCOTT over
CANCELLED GAME
Merchants Get Into Base
ball Squabble With Threat
of Trade War
ROW STARTED OVER
KICKING OF BALL

cRIsFIELD. Md. Aug. 25. -
Threatening to sever all future busi-
ness relations with the wholesale
merchants of crisheld as the result
OF a cancelled baseball engagement
Onancock yesterday sent several
kilograms signed by eight merchants
of the Virginia town in which they
plainly show their intention to boy
cott the Crisheld wholesale houses.
The telegram read as follows;
I'VE the undersigned merchants
OF the town OF Onancock do hereby
pledge ourselves jointly and several
ly to cease our business relation
with the wholesale merchants Of
Crisheld should the Crisheld Bese-
bah Association fail to return ano
fulfil their date at Onancock as
booked on August 26.'
The telegram was signed by the
Farmers Hardware and Supply
Company. A. II. Revell, e. B. Par
ker. J. T. Bundick, Scott and Marsh,
s. J. Bull, J. NJ. Watson and Hop
kins and Brother.
SO ridiculous does the plan 70 boy
colt the Crisfieid merchants seem
here that the town looks upon the
onancock merchants combination
as very unbusinesslike procedure
and a farfetched plan. in an effor,
to coerce the Crisfield wholesalers
into interference with the manage
ment OF the baseball association.
rnaanrffnn
with the ball club and some we're
not aware OF the fact that Cri field
and Onancock had crossed bats this
season. neither did they know oman
cock had grievances against the
crisfield club.
The determination to boycott was
brought about because the manage
ment OF the Crisheld club cancelled
game to be played at Onancoo
next Friday. The cancellation va
made because Onancock walked of
the diamond at Crisheld last Satur-
day at the conclusion OF the seventh
inning when Umpire Woodland re-
tired the third man in that inning
for interference with the ball and
aiding a man on third base in s,or-
ing. Hall was at bat and struck out.
but the Crisfield catcher dropped
the ball. 1t rolled toward first and
Hall in running kicked the ball
whereupon the umpire called HIM
out.
Many spectators from Onancock
were present and endeavored to
persuade Onancock's manager to
continue. but he refused. Because
Of this the Crisheld Association can
celled all their future dates with the
Onancock club. II is not known
what action the association will take
regarding future games with Oman
cock as the boycott plan of the vir-
ginia merchants is not looked upon
with favor by the Crisfeld club.

WOULD LOWER
INTEREST RATE
REPRESENTATIVE FULMER IN
TRODUCES> BILL TO LIMIT
RED1SCOUNT RATE TO 5
PER CENT.-WOULD FA-
CIL1TATE REVIVAL OF
BUSINESS.

Washington, June 1O.-Comment-
ing upon his bill, recently introduced
in the House, to limit the rediscount
rate fixed by the Federal Reserve
Bank to not over five per cent, Rep
resentative II. Il. Fulmer said:
II believe that if the high rate of
radiscount charged by the Federal
Reserve Bank is reduced to five per
cent. it will do more to bring about
a revival of business than any other
one thing we could do.
ut is generally pointed out that it
will be impossible TO reesta blish nor
NAL conditions and bring about a re-
vival of agriculture, commerce and
industry except by n lowering of the
rediscount rate on agricultural and
commercial paper to from four and
One-half per cent. to five per cent. I
believe that such Il reduction is q
great national necessity, n world ne
cessity, and it is only in this way that
prosperity can be promoted in Am
erica and that Europe can begin to
rehabilitate.
The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1921-06-15

Everybody knows that the re-
striction of credits and the extreme
high discount rates have stagnated
industry and commerce and paralyzed
agriculture.
Il All sure that 1 am voicing the
conclusion of every bank man in the
agricultural sections Of America in as
serting that if the bankers obey the
law in regard to the rates of interest
that they are allowed to charge their
customers under the national bank
ing laws, and are at the same time
forced to pay such high rediscount
rates as are now charged by the Fed
eral Reserve Banks, they will have
ito go out of business. That seems to
stare us in the face as a certainty.
b THE people of the United States
understood that the creating of the
HFederal Reserve Bank system meant
the financial salvation of America and
her people, by being able at all times
and under all circumstances to take
|lcare Of any situation in any section
l'of our country, and in a manner that
l,would not only hold up a panic but
in such manner and at such rates of
discount as would make the mem
ber banks financial strongholds. All
\ Of which would mean so much to
the building of good roads, the edu-
eating of the people and the develop
ing Of our national resources.
! IF you will read the combined d
ystatement of the twelve Federal Re-
Fs@rve Banks made at the close of
business May q, you will be struck
with the indignant feeling that they
have violated right and reason by
The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1921-06-15

charging unreasonable rates of dis
count to member banks. That state
kment shows that. after paying six
per cent. dividends to the stockhold-
Fers on paid-in capital of S102,173,-
600, they have a surplus of s202, ,O36,-
900, besides $s5.271 900 reserved for
government franchise tax.
Congress seemS to be long on cre-
,ating departments and appropriating
k1arge sums to be spent by them, and,
latter making these appropriations. in
|fsetting aside for them sums Of money
I'm the way Of contingent funds, al
Flowing them to spend not only these
but to come in at q later day and Sc
Ieure still more under deficiencies
(which is borne out by the passing
yesterday of a deficiency bill carrying
h the large sum of over one hundred
million dollars, of which about eighty
mental deficiencies.
+ eff the banking interests and the
people Of the United States think
that I am right in asking Congress to
Erepudiate the fixing of the Federal
EReserve Bank rediscount rate, 1 call
| upon them to get behind this propo-
| sition in such manner that we may
be able to put this saving measure
across. Otherwise, the warning is
clear, we will have to treat calam-
ity after it has befallen u.s."

hours perfectly before being elctso-
cuted have evidently led more tran
gull lives than have or have less
concern as to the future. All. now j
was to know the great secret. For 40
years, I have been wondering, won
.dering. Often I had said to myself
that should summon to my mind
when this moment came, some words
that would be somewhat a sypthesis
iof my philosophy. Socrates said to
those who stood by after he had
drunk the hemlock. mo evil can befall
"a good man, whether ne be alive or
dead 1 don't know how far from
THAT we have gone in these 2,4oo
years.
i THE apothegm, however. was not
opposite to me, because it inyolve,l a
declaration that I was good man,
and don't know anyone who has
tthe right to SO appreciate himself.
And l had come to the conclusion that
perhaps the best statement my, creed
could be fitted into are the words
II accept which to me meant that
If in the law of nature my individual
spirit was to go back into the great
spirit Of oceans, my one duty was to
iconform. Lead kindly light was all
the gospel had. accepted"
