Intelligence Applied to
Farming.

Now, more than ever before, in
telligence applied to farming pays.
The old haphazard methods do not
pay. The writer was deeply impress
ed with a conversation we had with
Mr.. William Bouknight while he was
in F'dgefeld Monday. Due more
largely to the intelligent fight made
against the boil weevil than to any,
thing else, the average yield of cot
ton upon the Bouknight farm last
year was more than 400 pounds of
lint cotton to the acre, and already
for this year a more detailed fight
upon the weevil has been planned. In
order to hold the weevil back, as it
were, from adjoining farms, upon
which so stubborn a fight against the
pest has perhaps not been made, the
Bouknight farm has been encircled
with grain, no cotton at all to be
planted upon the border fields. This
affords sort of insulation against
the migrating weevils. All lands ad-
jacent to houses and buildings which
supply places for Information will be
planted in corn and furthermore, all
old terraces are being plowed up and

of last week. The guests from Edge
field, Johnston and Trenton, were met
by Mrs. P. B. Day, Jr., who gave
them dainty luncheon card and then
presented them to Mrs. Miller and
Mrs. Bouknight who received them
in the handsome drawing room beau
tifully decorated ! in yellow spring
flowers, smilax and many softly glow
ing white candles. They were then
asked to the south room which was
filled with small tables covered with
handsome hand embroidered center
pieces and each having in the center
mahogany candelabra wound with
delicate Southern smilax. Places were
found by the numbers on the cards.
Mrs. P. B. Day, Jr., held a large
reception Tuesday afternoon in honor
of the bride, Mrs. B. B. Bouknight.
Seventy-five guests were invited from
Edgefeld, Johnston and Trenton.
They were met by Miss Sophie Minis,

campaign which we believe will bring
results in lowering weevil infesta-
tion of cotton fields on the Bouk-
night farm. Certainly this ounce of
prevention should delay their attack,
giving the growing cotton time to
mature fruit beyond the stage of
easy attack.

Grateful to- Supervisor Ed
munds For Good Work on
Martintown Road.
Dear Mr.. Minis Z:

Dear Mr.. Minis
If: you will allow me little space
/ would like to thank our supervisor,
Mr.A A. Edmunds, for the good
work he has done for the west siders
on the Martintown road. It is in bet
ter condition than / have ever seen
it and those older than myself say the
same. I also want to thank Mr.. Ed
mund's most efficient road supervisor,
Mr.. F. Edmunds, who without a
doubt is on the job and knows how.
1 want to thank those who gave rights
of way around the worst places.
Among these were Miss Ellie Meal
ing Mr.. T.. J. Briggs, Mr.. L. W..
Reese, Mr.. A. S. ]. Miller, Mr.. Henry
Getzen and others.
These changes have helped wonder
fully. Those who have never travel
ed this road to Augusta in times past
andftravel it now, can not appreciate
the wonderful changes that have been
made as can those of US who have
travelled under conditions before and
after.
He has erected an excellent wooden
bridge across Mill creek, strongly
constructed, built of good timber,
with a galvanized cover overhead.
OF course, after few days of rain
this;road gets muddy. We don't it ex-
pect it not to, owing to the character
of the:road bed in some places, but it
will get in shape to travel much soon
er blythe improvements that have
been made. ALI of Edgefeld's west
sidelroads get bad after few days
of rain. You can now drive Packards,
Appersons, Moons and all other large
cars. down our road with as much ease
and safety as you can the universal
Ford. Indeed, the "Lizzie" rides like

sons would ride.
Hanyone asks you where the gang
has BEEN just tell them, it is on the
west side giving the people their just
eIiaSa scic The sentiment
of whole west side almost to a man,
when I say we appreciate what has
been done. I drove over this road to
Augusta on Saturday, FL inst, found
the conditions so much better than l
was accustomed to, felt had to say
something about it. And too, Mr..
Minis, don't you think it better to
commend one during his life for his
good deeds and accomplishments than
to heap so many flowers upon his
grave? Flowers heaped on his or her
grave after death shows to the world
the esteem in which he or she was
held, but it reveals to the body en-
cased within absolutely nothing.
Again thanking you, Mr.. Edmunds,
and your competent force, / am

Milne received boxes of corresponds
ence cards and Mrs. Miller toilet
set. An elaborate luncheon, in three
courses was served. The rooms were
beautifully decorated in ferns and
flowers, and were cozy and bright in
contrast to the bleak exterior.
The winter gardens Of some here
are very successful, and the lettuce
is wonder to see. Some of the heads
are as large as small cabbage, and
just as white. This product is being
grown under canvass covering, and
some will begin shipping it soon, to
near markets.
The Emily Geiger chapter held a
very interesting meeting on Monday
with Mrs. P. N. Lott, and though the
weather was very disagreeable, it
did not dampen the ardor of the
members, for there was good at
tendance. During business it was re-
ported that comfort had been sent
to Tamassee Industrial school. The
chapter voted to give $1.O0 to aid
in the purchase of the historical
books of South Carolina that are so
needed at the Memorial Continental
Hall Library, and also voted to give
S1.OO which goes to the Woodrow
Wilson foundation, in the movement
for the best work of democracy done
by an American. The chapter has
the honor of being the first chapter
to make contribution in this work of
Americanization. Congress in Wash
ington was discussed, and alternates
elected, for the regent, Miss Payne;
vice regent, Mrs. J. L. Walker, and
End vice regent, Mrs. o. D. Black.
According to instructions of state re-
gent ten were elected to insure an al
ternate, should the regent be unable
to go. The chapter is honored in hav-
ing the page from South Carolina,
to be one of it's number, Miss Fran
ces Turner. After business, very
interesting program on 'The Old
Ninety Six District" was carried out,
Miss Nallie Waters leading. After
patriotic music, a dainty and enjoy
able sweet. course was served s

Mrs. Mary Waters is visiting her
sister, Mrs. Ida Phillips, in Augusta.
The Apollo Music club met with
Miss Zena Peyne on Tuesday after
noon, and despite the rain and sleet
there were twenty present. After a
short business session a delightful
musical program was held, the sub
ject being "Women in American Mu-
sic," and the leader, Mrs. M. T. Tur-
ner gave some interesting thoughts
on the subject. Paper, "Women in
American Music" Mrs. o. D. Black;

mer as mother, home-maker and nau-
sician," Mrs. Minis Walker; voice,

the program the hostess served an
enjoyable repast.
Mr.. G. w. Jones had the misfor-
tune to scald his hand, at the power
house on Thursday afternoon, while
fixing some of the steam valves.
Mrs, Joe Herlong of Ridge Spring

At C.. of &. Building

Every baseball manager in the
valley is requested to attend to-
nights meeting called for 7:30
o'clock at the Chamber of Com
merce building, Adams street and
Second avenue.
Plans for the coming season will
be discussed and the six team
league proposition will be taken up
and discussed in detail in order to
determine what method of book
ing games will be followed this
summer.
Representative OF the mining
towns will be attendance and IL
the local managers can see any
chance OF the teams breaking even
on out of-town trips the six team
league will undoubtedly be
adopted.
In the event the league plan
does not look feasible the man
ayers will probably continue the
booking system used last season.
"Pidge" Pinney stated last night
that he was willing to help the
teams carry out a league schedule
or continue his booking office.

ing to order promptly at 1880
o'clock.

Perhaps Is years ago Connie Mack
originated the idea of holding a
meeting before each game. The OBJ
ject was to talk over the weakness
or strength OF the opposition.
Mack's baseball idea was more or
less a slight change in a football
custom that has been in vogue for
years AS long as one can remem-
ball coaches to talk to their elevens
before and between halves.
For years Mack was the only ma
jor league leader to use the daily
conference idea. Now it is a part OF
the routine of every major league
clu and a number Of minors.
Ball players refer to these confer
ences as skull practice" At these
meetings the mistakes of the pre-
vious games are discussed. Incident
ally plans are made for winning the
afternoons game.
"Donie" Bush, formerly of De-
troit. but now with Washington, al
ways used to say that at these meet
ings the PLAYERS learned how to make
runs without base hits. Often play
ers say it is a meeting held to ar
range details as to how the game
should be played and then have the
players do the opposite when they
got on the field.
While these meetings are held to
discuss everything in a serious vein
it is only natural that something
should crop out every now and then
to afford a bit of amusement. In
this connection recall an experience
that I heard Lefty Leifeld relate last
fall.
1t seems Manager Fohl. aside from
the routine business. would every
now and then spring some stuff on
the recruits relative to the rules and
the like. Leifeld was appointed in
structor to the recruits
According to Lefty" each eve'
! ming he would look up dozen ques-
! tions in the rule book, set the an
/ swers down in black and white. and
the next day, paper in hand, woulc
be ready to spring the questions.
In the spring of the year, Bill
Gleason was playing second base foi
I the Browns. One day Leifeld plckeo
on Gleason thusly:
"Say, Bill. what is the distance
from the home plate to second by
direct line through the pitcher
box?"
Gleason didn't know the exact tig'
ure. but rather than confess his igno'
| rance of the question, replied:
|
How should I know, never rui
that way. 1t is customary for m.
to touch first on the way to second.

In this series on the origin of the
different sports it had been my in
tention to portray the game of base
ball next, however it soon became ap-
parent that the game of handball
must necessarily come next in order,
as baseball is directly derived from
handball.
Handball is the oldest game played
with a balI-and its origin is coeval
with the invention OF a sphere-and
that, of course. is thousands of years
old.
A ball Is an instructive source OF
amusement. A bali will amuse an
animal, baby or a man. 1t is the
most natural thing in the world to
slap a ball with the hand-and that
is the principle of handball.
Herodotus attributes the invention
of ball play to the Lydians. and it is
amusing to note that the first hand
ball player of which there is any
record was a woman
Princess Anagalla of Corcyra may
be truly said to be the first handball
player. Homer introduces the prin-
cess, with her maidens. amusing
themselves at handball:

Pitching, as in past years. is going
to decide the issue in the major
leagues.
That is why pitching receives so
much attention in the gentle spring.
That is why major league magnates

The New York Giants won the

much for the sluggers from the
American league.

Bagby and Walter Mails are able to

1922 the Indians are going to be very
much in the running.
Despite the fact that every club has
an army Of pitchers in the South,
tales floating northward about sec
ond Johnsons and Alexanders have
been few and far between. Possibly
the recruit pitchers are not going to
startle the baseball world.
ANY number Of stories about in
fielders, outfielders and catchers have
been spread broadcast. A good many
have been picked to stick beyond
a doubt. But so far no one seems
to enthuse to any great extent over
the pitching possibilities Of the
rockies.
If the spring training doesn't pro-
duce any new men able to hold their
own the two New York clubs are
again going TO start the season with
a distinct advantage in having a well
equipped pitching staff.

l don't believe there is anything
harder than relief work on a pitcher.
On a club that was going poorly like

Keefe would be called on to do lot

Homer writes OF handball as being
played only by women and that ii
was popular game at the time of
the destruction of Troy.
A form of baseball made its ap-
pearance in England and Europe in
the thirteenth century: that is, we
first find mention OF it during that
period. The game is called by the
French Jeu de Paume, or palm play,
because, says the author. originally
"this exercise consisted in receiving
the ball and driving it back again
with the palm of the hand" In for
mer times they played with the naked
hand, then with glove, which in
some instances was lined. Afterward
they bound cords round their hands
to make the ball rebound more for
chilly, and hence the modern tennis
racket derived it's origin.
During the reign of Charles V
handball was exceedingly fashionable
and popular, and often played by the

CHICAGO, March 15-That Sunday
golf has been a moot question since
the game was youthful, is shown by
the researches of a student of the
games history, and golf has been
played i'm it's present form probably
longer than any other competitive
sport.
Many seedlings by preachers, pub
lie -condemnations by magistrates and
even fines by judges have been un-
covered from the lore of Scotland. but
also an antique writer of the native
heath of golf has recorded that no
less strict teacher than John Knox
was not opposed TO golf during the
afternoon of the sabbath. The golf
book OF East Lothian contains the
following about Sunday golf in a
country where golf is not now played

nobility for large sums of money. A
French writer speaks of a Madam
selle Margot, who resided in Paris in
1924, and played handball better with
the back of her hand than any man
could with his palm.
However, it was the Irish who
really made the game of handball
what it is today. Irish authors even
trace the game back to a thousand
years before the Christian Era at the
Tailten Games. inaugurated by Ere.
the last king of the Firbolgs.
Be that as it may, it was the Irish
who brought the game to America
about so years ago. and today they
remain the leading exponents of the
game. The names of McQuade. Phil
Casey, Alderman Dunno. and his son.
Judge Dunno, eastman, Courtney,
and Mike Egan are spoken with rev.
erence by all Irishmen. They were
the pioneers of the game in America.
Today handball is the fastest grow
ing game in this country. and in it's
various forms handball is the na-
tional game OF Ireland, Spain pc
lota), Italy (Givoco della Palla), and
Cuba (yai Alai)
