Main Street and Palmettos Bat
tie Twelve Innings to a Tie

Main Street and Palmettos Bat
tie Twelve Innings to Tie :
Yesterday afternoon the hard
hitting Palmetto team encountered
the fast Main Street aggregation
and for 12 innings the two teams
battled to a one to one tie and if
darkness had not come n right at
this point, they probably would
still be playing. This game was
really a good game Of ball, never
getting ,tiresome or slow. The Pal
metto team has developed wonder
fully since their first game a
short while back and have very
good team now. Both teams made
their only score In the. first inn
I ing. and after this neither side
was able to reach the home plate.
The best part; Of the game came
in the twelfth inning when Main
stree came to bat. The bases were
quickly filed and no one was out.
At this point, Gray. pitching for
| the Pamettos ,tightened end proved
himself the gerat pitcher that
he is. He struck out two men and
the third. man. knocked up a little
pop .fy.. .,..5.
s.. The game was attended by a
livery small crowd and the ball
that was played by these two local
teams, should draw much larger
crowds, in ,the, future. 81.

Last night the shop Of Barney
Bradwell was entered by some un-

pistols stlen. The entry was made
by taking. q pane out of the BACK

At least siv pistols valued at about

Fighting Hog Cholera
Precautionary Measures Ad-

Washington, August 4-When
hog cholera sweeps through a

caution; as the proper location OF

preventing Infection. Where not to
have the hog lot is pointed out and
other suggestions On the control
and eradication Of this disease are
given in a leaflet published by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Hot lots should be 10

carried by teams and wagons from

at least two weeks all new stock
hogs and those just returned from
exhibitions and sales. Don't bor-
row or lend hogs for breeding
purposes if cholera is in the COM

farm and the unused internal or

they attract dogs, which may car

Tavel Family
Miraculously
Escape Death

n I0CSllI lSSQS. O1. d O0JdllU, Id.
newspaper, contains the following
account Of an automobile acci-
dent. Mrs. Tavel was Miss Marie
DeLorme Of Sumter:
w. K. Tave1, resident engineer
for the ]. B. McCrary Co., Mrs.
Tavei. two hildren, and Mrs. Ia
veps mother miraculously escaped
death this morning, when their
car was overturned on. the DeLand
road, near the Nine Mile still,
pinning the party of five under
meath.
Fortunately all escaped with
minor injuries excepting Mrs. Ia
vel, who was quite seriously hurt
on the leg and about the body and
deep scratches about the face. Mr..
Tayel has sprained wrist, the Ia
vel baby was bruised somewhat,
while Mrs. Tavers mother and boy
were slightly bruised and badly
shaken up from the accident.
It is believed that the car which
struck, the Tavel car, causing the
accident, was a stolen one. AS Mr..
Tavel and family were driving, to
DeLand. late this morning, and
while turning out to pass a car
which they were meeting q third
car, q Ford, came from behind at
"a terrific rate OF speed and at
tempted to crowd between the two
cars as they passed. Striking the
Tayel Ford at the rear, it turned
completely over on the side OF the
road, all the occupants being PIN
ned beneath the car. The Ford
which caused the accident, instead
of stopping, speeded up and head
Ied for DeLand. A Cadillac with
friends in, from Daytona, came
along and when Mr.. Tavel told
the occupants Of the circumstances,
they gave chase after the fast
speeding Ford. overtaking it, and
securing the number, the car pass
ed the Ford to report the accident
to the DeLand police. and head
them off. but evidently surmising
this. the Ford turned about and
headed toward Daytona. Another
car. e Ford sedan, evidently driven
by a friend OF the driver OF the
car causing the accident. also turn
ed about and followed east.
When the parties in the Cadlallac
noticed the Ford turn, chase was
given toward Daytona, but the
Ford turned into the woods and
ran as far as it could in the
swamp; when the driver jumped
from the car and abandoned 1t.
Trace was lost Of the driver,
while the accident was reported TO
the Daytona police. in the mean
time the man abandoning the
Ford evidently caught up with the
driver OF the sedan and the two
made through DeLand, going west. Sc.

ports continue to come in st the
office of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Marketing
Association in the Johns Build
ing in regard to the progress of
the campaign to sign up rs, per
cent Of the tobacco crop of the
Burley district under the new
marketing plan proposed by the
association. A contributing fac
tor in the success of the new or
ganization is the low price of to-
bacco last year and another is
the low price being paid on the
South Carolina and North Caro-
lima markets this year.
Heretofore the price of South
ern tobacco has been higher
than that of hurley. This year,
according to official reports from
North and South Carolina, pub
lished in The Western Tobacco
Journal, of Cincinnati, and other
trade papers, South Carolina to-
bacco is averaging but a small
fraction over 8 cents a pound and
North Carolina leaf but a little
over z cents a pound, less than a
third the price paid for tobacco
in July last year. These facts
have had a tendency to awaken
the hurley growers to the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation, since
there is no reason apparent for
believing that the manufacture
ers will run their business this
year in different way from
previous years, and if that
proves to be true, the price of
hurley tobacco will not reach
even last years figure.

WE HAVE TO KEEP THEM.

The appointment of Gen. Leon
ard Wood as American Governor
of the Philippine Islands has
caused greater interest in those
possessions than any event since
the days of the Aguinaldo revolt
and it's suppression, and we no.
tice in various American news
papers conclusion that General
Woods appointment means an
end to the talk of Philippine in
dependence, and that it is in or
der for the United States to be
ready to protect her interests in
the Pacific.
1t is strictly in order, however,
to point out that of evidence of
Japan's desire to gobble up the
Philippines there is not one
scrap. Why should Japan want
the Philippines? They would be
a burden to her, and nothing
more. They are a burden to the
United States. We get nothing,
or certainly very little from
them, and we give a good deal.
The suggestion of possible war
between Japan and America for
the possession of those islands is
a fantestic one.
Going back to the suggestion
that the appointment of General
Wood means permanent occupa-
tion of the Philippines by the
United States, it may be said
that that is not proven. 1t is
that General Wood
has reported that immediate in
dependence for the Philippines
would be unwise. With this the
Evening Post agrees. But do
we intend to stay forever, or for, |
indeed, as much as twenty-five |
years, a quarter of a century, in |
the Philippines? That depends
doubtless on the progress of the
people. Our material interests
calls for a REIMBURSEMENT of this
task. but, having become re.
sponsible for the 'destinies of |
these people, we act properly in
declining to turn them adrift
while they are in a stage that
makes them incapable of self
government.-Louisville Post.
