LITTLE THOUGHT will be given Dixie training junlzets by East ern League clubovners during the coming winter as a result of Bridgeport, Worcester and Pitts field clubs in New England chimes, when comparisons are made of the disappointing show ing by New Haven after tS ex- pensive trip to Macon, Ga.
 THERE'S NOT a chance that New Haven will dispose of Chief Bender as result of showing of the champions this season, as the rIImor manufacturers are insist ing. Failure of the Indians to reach the top and be a chief contender for the flag to date is not BeT9der's fault, but due to the many accidents to players on the New Haven pay roll.

WEST END TO PALY OAKLAND
ON THE WEST END DIAMOND

An error was made in the last issue
of the paper about the game of base
ball which is to be played Saturday
between Oakland and West End. This
game is to be played on the West End
ground Saturday at 4 o'clock.
This is promised to be a good, hard
fought game. We understand Oak
land has secured the services of the
three Shealy brothers and although
we have the batteries for Oakland as
Bodie and Bodie they may double
cross us and put in stronger pitcher.
West End has three of its old players
who have been out for several weeks
back with us-Jim Vaughn, Alvin
Dsnielsen and Dave Bouknight. SO
be sure to see this game at the West
End park Saturday.

Bobbed Hair Scores

Anderson Tribune.
Bobbed hair has been criticised on
various grounds since it became popu-
lar with .he perennially young OF the
feminine population, and it has had
it's stauneh defenders who have point
ed out that it was more sanitary, more
comfortable and more efficient, saving
much time in the arranging OF the
wearer's tresses, says the Columbia
Record. But recent trade report
gives a new argument in favor OF the
practice of American girls to bob
their hair. Since this style became
popular, importations Of human halr
from China and elsewhere have drop
ned from the enormous total OF 22o,-
600 pounds to 1000 pounds a month";
according to this report.
So, if putting the mater on a ousl-
ness basis does not react to make tne
fashionable young woman abandon
the style, as she is by nature likely 20
do in the opinion of many male OBJ
servers, there is here one more weigh
ty argument to support the ooooeo
hair mode against the attacks OF the
dress and style reformers who forever
fail to find woman's fancies anything
but immodest, and tending to decay
the moral fibre of the nation.
It is presumed, if the comparative
figures on importations of human halr
mean anything, which is not an es-
tablished fact, they mean that the
air Of American women is being used
in the manufacture of the indspens-
able hair net in place of the Chinese
hair. which in the past has been used
almost exclusively in this business.
Geraldine can console herself now
when some dowager frowns upon her
shortened curls that she has made 1t
nossible for herself or some sister to
wear on her head contrivance made
Of the fine, silken threads of her own
hair instead of one made from the
oueue of some Chinese belle whose
acquaintance with the bath tub and
the hair dresser is probably very much
limited.
In the end, however, argument pro
and con will have little to do with the
fashion in which milady wears her
hair. Woman-lovely woman-will
continue to do as she pleases, as she
has always done.

THIEVES BREAK IN BATTERY
DEPARTMENT STORE
Break Open Cash Register and Take
$50 in Silver-Not Known What
Else Was Taken.

While the rain poured and the
lightring flashed and the thunder
roared Wednesday night thieves were
busy with their occupation and trade.
The Battery department store, Mr..
R. Sinkoe, manager, in West Main
street, was entered and robbed. The
register was broken and $50 in cash,
all silver, stolen; the bills, Fortunate
ly, had been deposited. The register
was so badly broken that it had to
be sent to Columbia forsrepairs.
Manager sinkoe says ne doesn't
know whether or not any Of the
goods were taken.
The thieves broke the bars and
sash of a back window ard thereby
made an easy entrance. The supposl-
ton is that they went in before and
departed after the storm. The Tea
que bloodhounds were brought to
the broken window Thursday morn
ing, but could not take up the trail
on account of the heavy downpour
which had left the ground enough
to have obliterated all traces of the
robbers. Such nights as Tuesday
and Wednesday were auspicious sea-
sons for thievery.

ODIS HINNANT'S TALK
o o o o o o o o o . . O o o o o

| o o o o O o O o o . o O o o o o o
On Wednesday nigt Mr.. Odis Hin
nant, Rotarian from Wilmington
IN. c., made a very fine talk at the
Baptist church on Boys Work.
The audience, though not filling the
church, was very large considering
the inclemency of the weather and
those who came out enjoyed one of
the finest and most convincing ad-
dresses on boys work which has ever
been delivered i'm Newberry.
Rev. Babb and DR.. George B. Gro
mer introduced the speaker of the
evening. Both these gentlemen are
listened to with great interest at all
times and their remarks at this ser
vice were enjoyed. The singing was
good and Miss Goode Burton's solo
was splendid.
Mr.. Hinnant spoke without notes
and though not in an oratorical man
ner still he was convincing beyond
degree and those who heard him left
with the firm belief that this young
man is filled with the sincerity OF his
work and that he brings a message
which is close to his heart.
Mr.. Hinnant opened his talk with a
definition of what some folks think
boy is, "a steam engine in pants"
but before his talk was finished he
had shown the audience that a boy
is. nothing more than little man and
in many respects he outdoes his su-
periors in lots of things.
Many instances were quoted from
his own work with boys, which has
extendedathrough nine years, and his
talk was, rich with personal expert
ences. 8 :,
The Boy Scouts of Rotary troop OF
scouts, No. 1, attended in uniform un-
der the leadership Of Asst. Stout
master John Clarkson. They had re-
served seats in the church. Many OF
Mr.. Hinnants remarks were addressed
to these scouts.

GREAT SHORTAGE
OF GOOD COTTON
D. R. COKER GIVES DEMONSTRA-
TON AT CHARLOTTE
Hartsville Mans Address Features
Days Program of Southern
Association

dress by D. R. Coker Of Hartsville,

of the semi-annual convention of the
Southern Textile association meeting
here today.
Mr.. Coker exhibited samples of cot
ton which he said, ne picked from
fields on his way to Charlotte, and

bolls gathered from near the top OF
the plant contained cotton of much
shorter staple than bolls gathered
from near the bottom of the plant, in
dicating, Mr.. Coker said, that while
the early pickings of cotton will be
of fairly good grade, the latter pick
ings will be of materially Tower grade
from the spinners' standpoint. He
suggested that the conditions were IN
dicative of a greater shortage of good
cotton than the country yet suspected.
The association closed busy day
with a. visit to the Made-inCarohnas
exposition tonight following cabar-
ct dinner rendered by Charlotte tex
tile interests. Following Mr.. Coker's
address, F Gordon Smith of 'Lancas-
ter, S. c., led discussion of technical
subjects, in line with the slogan OF

LARGE STILL CAP
TURED NEAR, DYSON
LARGEST STILL IN HISTORY OF
THIS SECTION
Also Find 1000 Gallons Brandy
Mash Made from Dried Peaches
Use Gasoline Tank for Boiler

Greenwood Index-Journal, 10Th.
The largest outfit for the manu-
facture of liquor ever captured IN
this section was found late Satur-
day on what is known as the Clark
place, about three miles below Dy-
son, by Greenwood county officers.
The equipment consisted of a 600
ga-son steam boiler, made from a
gasoline tank; series of wooden
barrels, around which live steam cir
culated, was used as the still proper;
copper condensers; fermentors of
thousands of gallons capacity; bar
rels and miscellaneous equipment.
One thousand gallons of brandy
mash, made from California dried
peaches, were poured out and thir-
teen sacks of meal brought away.
The still was running in full
blast when found. Jim Campbell, a
negro captured at the still, denied
being the operator, but declared he
had made liquor in the zarlny, ac-
cording to officers. Campbell was
brought to the county jail.
This is the only steam still of
.earge capacity ever found in this
county. The boiler was sunk in the
ground not far from the creek bank,
with the dirt scooped from under it
in such a way as to permit fire be
ing built underneath. Pipes con-
Quoted the live steam to series OF
large barrels, having the capacity to
hold over 200 gallons of mash at
one. time Thus heated by steana'
the brandy or liquor was distilled
off into copper condensers and con-
Quoted into barrels or other CON-
tisners. A few gallons of Glow"
wine or the first run from the
brandy mash, were found at the
still.
A new fermenter having a 1000
gallon capacity, was also found at
the still, but had never been used.
Officers state that they believe the
outfit had only recently been set up
for operation. In the words of one
of the raiding officers, "that wasn't
still, that was an industry"
So large was the equipment that
the raiding party returned to Ninety
Six, after destroying the mash and
fermenters and procured a truck
from Hal T. Sloan, foreman of the
grand jury, with which the boiler
and condensers were hauled to Nine
ty-Six. The equipment was brought
to Greenwood this morning and
stored in the county warehouse. Those
taking part in the raid were: Sheriff
E. NJ. White, Rural Policeman K. L..
Lyon and J. T. Mcdowell, Deputies
A. F. Spivey and ]. B. Pulliam.

To explain the need in Europe the
following extract from the August
Ladies' Home Journal is given:
You can save many thousands Of
lives in Europe the coming winter by
responding to the appeal of the AM
er;can Red Cross and American
Friends Service committee for cast
off clothing. Millions of men, women
and children in Central Europe are
in rags and tatters. Unless America
can send shiploads of wearable ap-
parel for young and old the suffering
will be greater than at any time since
the war. Food shortages have been
taken care of, but new clothing is still
luxury that only the wealthy and
well-to-do can afford. Old clothing
has been worn to shreds. In some
sections months wages for a skilled
workman will not buy sufficient gar
ments to keep child warm. Millions
of homes were stripped bare of every
comfort in exchange for clothing.
Now there is nothing to exchange,
not stick of furniture left to sell.
Fuel is enormously costly.
Is there any American home that
has not some discarded bit of clothing
to give? Reports from abroad by
representatives of the Red Cross and
the Friends Service committee urge
US that the need is far greater than
even our utmost generosity can meet.
But if we act Immediately we may
save multitude of homes from a
winter of extreme misery.
The appeal is chiefly for second
hand warm garments that are wear
able; for warm but serviceable shoes
of every description and material
from which infants garments may be
quickly made; for knitted things and
for woolen yarn to be knit by Euro
pean mothers.
The want is so urgent that the
greater promptness will mean the
greater mercy.
