NEWS FROM THE WINNSBORO MI BASEBALL TEAM IS IN FINE SHAPE--PLAYS CAMP JACK SON SATURDAY. The ball team journeyed to Cam den last Saturday to help Wateree Mills celebrate in a May Day festi val. The Winnsboro Mills team's part, according to the program of the Wateree Mills, was to come to Camden and take a good beating at the hands of the Wateree team. With out say whether or not they would do in Camden as the program read, our boys went down to Camden and promptly at three o'clock, as Mr. Baker, Wateree's -star slabman, be gan to hurl the old apple over the platter, they began to smash said apple all over the lot and also over the heads and out of reach of Cam den's players. After the merry-go-, round of nine innings were over Camden had an exhausted and humbled bunch of ball tossers. Said humbling was done by one Mr. Bar ney Enloe, who hurled for Winns boro. Barney had them eating , of his hands. Whenever he got in a tight place he opened up full steam ahead and made batters whiff the air until the "umps" would yell "bat ter out." W'e have given Enloe first credit for he bore the brunt of the fight, yet he was ably assisted by eight others who were in there fighting all the team. The team was playing to saved a home run; But for brilliant work -ire the out field by the r. m den cutfit Winnsboro would have amassed more runs than they did. Go to it, boys, and play the game together -in that same fighting spirit and before the summer of 1921 rolls by we shall have won some more ball games. Lose at times, if we must, but let us lose playing the game. Not only play the game in baseball, but in all phases of iife. - "For when one Grat Scorer comes To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, But how you played the game!" Against a team made up almost wholly of experienced, muchly touted ball players, 'an 8 to 3 score shows that the Winnsboro Mill team played the game. Several truck loads, and several car loads of rooters, boys, girls, men and women went over to Camden to -ot for their team. Their lusty yel ling did much to help bring home the bacon. All enjoyed the May fes tival program. The program as car ried out reflects great credit Tipon Wateree Mills community.

This attitude on the part of the American government may be form ally expressed if the United States ever transmits the recent German reparktion proposal to the Allies as a basis for discussion, but inasmuch as such a step is for the momtat Vn likely, the chances are that America will avoid formal comment on the German proposition as It affects our foreign loans. While the Washington government Is vitally interested in the outcome of the reparation negotiations, because of the far-reaching effect that a settle ment would have on-the world's eco nomic situation, the official viewpoint here is that the Allies will be well able, ultimately to pay their debts to the United States irrespective of the rep aration money forthcoming from Ger many to the Allies.
