ion today in the South Carolina-Geor-
gia boudary case, the opinion sustain
ing Georgia's contention. The justice

line is midway between the Island
bark and the South Carolina shore

quoted from authorities on both sides
as far back as the Beaufort conyen-
ton Of 177s. In summing up the
jastice said the merits Of the contro-
versy were limited to the deternina-
ton of the questions: ~
"Q) Whether the boundary line
shall be located midway between the
hanks of each river where there are
no islands, or at low water mark on
the Georgia shore; (2) Whether the
location of the boundary line Whsre
there are Islands IN the rivers, 10 III
me middle of the stream running be-
tween any island and the South Caro-
lima shore, or at low water mark on
the southern or island shore OF sucn
stream; and (3) Whether any island
there may be in the Chattooga river
is within the territorial juisdietlon
of Georgia"
In his opinion Justice Clarke COM
mented: "The taxation of dams and
hydro-electric plants, already con-
structed and hereafter to be con-
structed, in the boundary rivers rem
ders the decision Of the questions IN

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES.

The movement to interest the gov
ernors of every state in the Union in
the erection Of national victory me-
mortal building in Washington which
lis being sponsored by President Har-
ding and the George Washington Me-
mortal association at this time recalls
to mind the attitude Of the American
legion on this subject as expressed by
the delegates at the last national con-
vention.
The followig resolution was passed
by this convention:
Whereas, there has been peno.ng
in congress for some time legislation
relative to the erection Of the George
Washington memorial, ard
Whereas, 1t has been proposed
that this memorial should be changed
to include within it a memorial to all
the men and women Of the recent
World war, and
"Whereas, it is believed that this IS
not the proper time for the erection
of a memorial until adequate legisl2-
ton has been eructed for the disabled
and unemployed and compensation,
BE 1t therefore resolved by the
American Legion in convention as
sembled, that we do protest against
the erection of any public building
bv or with the consent Of our nation
al government on government land
in any way designed to commemorate
the men and women who served in the
World war, until proper and adequate
legislation has been enacted for the
relief of the dil2bled, first; the uE-
employed, second and adjusted COM
pensation, third"
The national legislative committee
of the legion in statement issued
last week reiterated the legion 5
stand, and added, ''The legion has no
objection to the building of the pro-
posed memorial to George Washing
ton. Ii is. however, unaltera3ly op-
posed to the movement to Ink up
plans for World war memorial with
the activities of the George Washing
ton Memorial association.
"The veterans OF the war believe
this is not the time to spend money
on World war memorials. When the
/ government has disposed Of its coll-
cations to the ex-serv;ce men and Wo-
men themselves, and when later the
country gets the proper perspective
il will be time to plan great nation
al victory memorial
As is stated above President Har-
| ding has given the project his approv-
al and has written the governors OF
the different states requesting 1her
cooperation. Tie association has Sc
cured a plot Of land from congress
ard Will probably proceed with the
memorial whether the legion likes it
or not.

tive mood for dues for 1922. Pay up

Georgia originally contended that
the Soull Carolina banks Of the three
r:ye>s were the boundary line between
the two states, but after the action
aad cone to the supreme court amend
g tie case so as to claim only tne
m;G-stream OF all the rivers except
where there were islands and the MID
stream of the channel between the
southern shore of the Islands ana the
South Carolina banks.
South Carolina contended for the
midstream of the three rivers and
the northern Banks of the islands as
the boundary, The islands themselves
never being an issue as they were
ceded tc Georgia in the Beaufort trea-
ty. In the decision yesterday South
Carolina only loses the point of mid
stream between the northern bank Of
the islands, the court fiX.ng the line IN
midstream of any flow around the is
lands instead Of the northern bank
as contended' by Attorney General
Wolfe of South Carolina.
Under the decision of the court any
power plant built upon the islands OF
the river will not be subject to taxa
ton by South Carolina unless part OF
the power is developed from ne-lalf
of the water between the island and
the South Carolina shore. AS for the
islands in the Chattooga river, there
are none of any Importance, accord
ing to those who are familiar with
this stream.
"The decision is in accord with
South Cardinals contention in her
pleadings with the exception that the
court makes the thread Or midstream
principle apply where there are is
lands; whereas, South Carolina con-
tended for the northern bank Of the
island as the line where the streams

 It isn't very often that pitchers get three hits in the game. But that was the stunt TootS ConnorS pulled off against the Warmers.
 With Jack Fitzhenry covering the midway station the Black Rork in field will be considerably strength ened.
 That talk of a series between the Rosebdds and Black Rocks seems to be getting warmer every day.
 William F. Taylor, formerly one of the leading spirits at Black Rock, is umpfring in Melford, and is making good.
 Ray Welch. of the M. M, M. team, is .clouting the ball for .444 percent | G. Sherwood is the leading sticker | in the Dusty League with a percent age of 300. The old Conn. Leaguer's batting optics are still keen.

One of the most gratifying
 features of recent games at New e-
 field Park is the improved hit
 ting of Dick Loftus, who, yes-
 terday, smashed the horsehide
 for triple, double and single,
 1t being the tenth consecutive
 has hit safely.
 Loftus batting squirt is a fulfill ment of the predictions of Gene Nc Cam and other experts-that there is no reason why Loftus shouldn't be a steady cEouter. He swings the bat a majority of cases, but the old lea therette has been refusing to drop into safe territory.
 Dick is unable to explain his brace in the sWatting line. He declared yesterday when questioned on the style of meeting the ball. They're just dropping safe. guess, that's all. .'' is Dicks views on the subject ....- Shorty Long On Slump. ....
 As Shorty Long, a 300 hitter who travelled 32 games without going hit knows where they are going to land. It being a case of luck as to just how and where the ball is hit. Long who has always been a 300 hitter got off to a rotten" start and was bat ting below 200 for weeks. During the ball as often and as hard as he ever did, but they wouldn't fall safe. Mostly a case of luck" is the way he put it.

Sewell, of Indians,
 SuperstitiOus Guy

Chicago, Aug. 16.-When the White Sox were in Cleveland on their last trip several of the players framed up on Infielder SeweH of the Indians. It seems that his pet superstition is to touch third base before the game starts.
 It isn't necessary to run around the sacks to accomplish this. He is sat isfied just to ramb1e over during practice and give the sack a kick. ing of his and when Seweu strolled over to perform his daily feature a number of the Sox gathered around the sack and wouldn't let Sewell through them.
 The Cleveland star was quite peeved about it. He refused to start the game until he was permitted finally to jab the base.

 u He put Brush to bed in a cool me- thodical manner. Both began care fully but after the first round Danny was dndiscreet. He relied on a stiff left arm to keep Johnny at his dis tauce ana also to win. Dundee paw ed around for a few rounds, hitting a. st1nger now and then. and doing more damage than was apparent.
 1S,OOO See Fight,
 The action wasn't grue1ling enough For the 1s,0O0 fans, but Frush was pore disturbed by the feet clamping than by his veteran opponent.
 Dundee lowered his guard in the seventh and Brush stepped in-re- peatedly stepped into Johnny's long left, and after Danny had his chin tilted several fines, Johnny piled a, right hook to the wind.
