played with your ancient enemy who

its rules each player has the right to
require his opponent to re-play speci-

1t is what might be termed an adap-

When your opponent chips out frorn
off the green, or negotiates an unusN-
ally difficult putt, or whales out a rec
ord-oreaking drive, all you have to do
to get even with him is to grin mali
ciously and request him to play the
shot over again and demonstrate that
he knew what he was doing the first
time. OF course he will have his op-

TO deprive you of the advantage to
which you are entitled by reason of a
perfectly brilliant shot, while you
have been trying merely to protect
yourself against his uncanny luck.

Auction Golf
BY FREDERIC ]. HAsklN

WASHINGTON, D. c., July %. =
Ever play auction golf? 1t is a game
of great possibilities. 1t is the newest
variation of the ancient and honorable
sport that is acclaimed one of Scot
lands two greatest contributions to
mankind 1t was invented by one OF
those restless souls who are always
seeking new thrills or a little extra
kick in whatever they door imbide.
The identity of the inventor cannot be
heralded to an anxious world, but one
of these days fame will seek him out.
A brass plate will mark the spot
where he first teed off in this vale
of tears and a monument will be erect
ed where he dropped his last putt.
Compared with auction golf the old
time nassau is fiat, insipid and alto
gether volsteady, while the conven-
tional 13-hole match is as penny-ante
to table stakes poker.
Bridge, pinochle and pitch players
will recognize Immediately that when
you add the auction feature to golf
you have introduced highly specula-
tive element into an otherwise staid
pastime. They will grasp the idea and
possibilities of the new game. To
others it will be necessary to give a
somewhat detailed explanation.
Auction golf may be played as a
twosome, but it is essentially a four
ball match When partners have been
arranged, the pair have the honor on
the first tee make a bid for the first
hole. That is to say they announce
that they are prepared to contract tc
play the first hole with a certain az
gregate score. Their opponents may
then bid one less, may permit the or
iginaI bid to stand or may double thai
bid. In any event, the bidding con

let the other have the contract. In
case of q double there may be a re.

collect the amount of the agreed stake.

NIGHT RIDERS AT
CALHOUN FALLS

The story comes fltering through
that Night Riders or members of the
Ku Klux Khan have been paying their
respects to the town of Calhoun
Falls. The first visitation was Satur-
day night five weeks ago, and has
been repeated four or five times
since that time. The last visit being
raid about the middle of last week.
Stories vary as to the number of
riders present. They were scattered
about town, eight being the largest
number seen together at any one
time. They were dressed in white,
with large hats or h~eadgear. be
first visit was made on horseback
and the last by automobile.
The report is that one white man
end one negro were whipped, but
This could not be verified, informa-
ton being hard to get. Chief of Po-
lice Crawford, of the town of Cal
houn Falls, is quoted as saying one
Of the masked men approached him
on the streets and informed him
they proposed to whip a negro, blu.
that it would not take place in the
town.
DR.. Douglas Mahon, formerly of
~Ebbeville, but now owner of a drug
store in Calhoun Falls, saw the rid
ers pass his store. He was waiting on
customers serving ice cream and
drinks to members of the Holiness
church whose services had just adj
ijcurned. He heard customers speak
ing of having seer the riders in Diff
fycent parts of the town. So when

ard. Of Shcrard Bros. store, and
both agreed to spend the night to
ether, their families being out Of
own. They not only spent the night
together, but claim to have slept in
the same bed.
The last raid took place about the
middle of the week. One man in the
mill village says they rode in single

from Oconee County and are living
here. Most of the old homes which
are left, (for example the old Hol-
%Iingsworth home) are in a dilapidat-
ed condition. Here and there you
I'll find a new bungalow, but little
spells OF progress or industry, al
though there is enough good land
lying out to produce food for the
whole state. A few people are cut
sing lumber, some are raising cows
and hogs, but it is rather a desolate
looking section to U.s., and frankly,
II we were in Oconee County we
would stay there rather than move
to that section. We imagine, though,
that the new settlers are attracted
by fertile lands, which likely sell for
less than similar lands in the county
hey have left. And new settlers help
70 open and develop a country, and
these will likely do much for that
section.

MT make it because on the way we
had to pass the home of Judge Thorn
as Jefferson Lyon, III the edge of
Shatterfeld. AS we passed the house
we saw the Judge walking about in
lis garden and as he and Uncle Pat
were old cronies, and each declared
ti?at he had heard sometime ago Of
the death of the other, there was a
certain amount of talk which had to
be delivered. In addition the judge
had lately lost one Of his fingers in
trying to get the horns of n of his
fine Jersey COWS unlocked from a
wire fence in which the horns were
'en.Gngicd, and had also had the mis-
fortune to mash a thumb on the
same hand in fixing a fence to keep
his hogs in. 1t took sometime to ex-
plain just how all this happened.
Reaching Bethany We found that
the congregation had already "wor-
shipped" and gone home. But Col.
Roche declared he knew he had
some old friends buried in the
churchyard, and so we went in to
read the inscriptions on the stones
there. They were of the Cheathams,
the Fullers, the Seiglers, Talberts,
Williams, Hollingsworths, and 9TH
ers, including VIM. J. Dorm, the gold
mine king formerly of Mccormick.
Dorn's grave is alone and is enclos-
ed by a substantial iron fence, with
his name on the gate. The grave it.
self is built up of brick much like the
old graves at Long Cane, but instead
of having a marble slab with an in
scription the top is of cement with
no marks whatever.
Leaving the church we turned to
the right just before reaching Cuffy-
town Creek and took the road to
Mccormick and from there we made
our way to Lethe where we stopped
according to plans to have lunch. At
ter the boxes had been opened and
we had partaken Of the contents,
and of the hot coffee which had been
kept in a Thermos bottle, and which
vas still at the boiling point we came
nome. Col. Roche and Uncle Pat con-
',::nued to disagree about how much
corn ITO the acre different fields
would make" and about where the
"gallows" was located on which
three negroes were hanged about the
close of the war, but finally it was
.ccttled that it was at a point just be-
yond Little Mountain Church (col-
ored,) where a pine and an oak
stood once. The negroes belonged to
\. P. Conner, of that section, and
had made threats against his life;
hey were tried before a trial JUS
tice, as was the custom then, and
antenced to be hanged, the penalty
