^jjepamkrg^eralb ESTABLISHED Al'KIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 29. Xo. 24. Thnrsday, June 10, 1920 Bamberg has a jam-up good base ball team, and the team is receiving fine support from the home folks. The local nine, the way it looks now, completely outclasses anything in the section. In fact the team ought to join the S. A. L. and show those fel lows something about playing Dase ball. The senate has refused President "Wilson's request that America accept a mandate over Armenia. We do not pretend to say that we can intelligently discuss the question of accepting a mandate over a foreign country. Senator Smith voted for the mandate, - and Senator Dial voted against it. In the face of persecutions the like of which has never been exceeded in the history of the world, massacres by the thousands, and the ravishment of their women, these people rave stood by the Christian faith, when to have given up their faith would have meant the end of their persecution. America entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, and now that the war has .come to a successfulxend, America has deserted the principle for which she entered it. As to whether a mandate is the best thing for Armenia, we do not know, but something ought to be done to protect Armenia, so that a reversion 10 its previous state or servitude will be impossible. The people of the country are virtually revolting against the paying / of enormous prices for necessaries. That this revolt is being felt is shown bf the marked reductions in prices jpy "V of certain commodities. Whether this price reduction will be permanent remains to be seen. We hardly think that it means a very early return to normal, but that the hoarders are finding that their stocks are not going as they expected, and that price reduction is the only hope for "disposal of the goods. We are cer tain that if the people will simply reI fuse to pay exorbitant prices, we shall not have exorbitant prices. In our opinion there are a great many more goods in existence in the country than the people are led to think. These goods have been hoarded in the expectation of reaping a vast harvest of - exorbitant profits, and now the holders find that the people are not going to pay these enormous profits and they are beginning to loosen up before the final crash comes. Every day or two now we see in the daily newspapers where some V'v.-'? 1 J T 3 J _ wuuia-ue canaiaaie is receiving "urges" to announce himself for some office. Since investigation is the order of the day, we suggest an investigation into the promotion of candidacies. We often laugh when we note how the candidates take the people for such simple idiots, and the funny thing about it is they frequently get away with it. We have recently seen it stated that such and such a man is being urged by his friends to announce for some office, and our personal knowledge of some of these men leads us to believe that they have never in their lives had anybody to urge them to run for any office, unless, perhaps, they were being made fun of. Why it is necessary for a man to say that he is being "urged" to offer himself for any office? With our knowledge of these affairs, which wt, * freely admit is limited, we do not think we would ever say we were urged by our friends, even if we were, for nobody will believe it anyway. The day of men sacrificing themselves for public office is just about past. Why not come out with the truth and . say they want the office? And if they don't want it, keep their traps closed, for there are plenty who do want the offices. The prevailing feature about the Literary Digest's eleven million ballot poll of the presidential candidates is still the scarcity of Democratic votes. Last week's Digest shows the ! following first choice votes for the ! various prominent candidates: Democratic: Brvan, 4*1,909; Clark, 22,] 1012: Cox, 32,144: Edwards, 60,9aS; j -Marshall, 1 1,607; .McAdoo, 1 01,773; I j Palmer, IS,933; Wilson, 67,079. Republican: Coolidge, 33,621; Harding, 36,79"); Hoover, 240,468; Hughes, ">4,719; Johnson, 263,087; Lowden, 120,391; Taft, 32,740; Wood, 277,4S6. McAdoo anc\ Marshall are not outspoken candidates, but are freely! "spoken of." Those prefering Wil-; j ? i-..i? ii? . ? son uouuuess mean men fiiuiie mere-, ly as complimentary, as the president J is not a candidate for the nomination. Hoover's candidacy is distinguished j by the fact that of his total vote, 94,-' 081 are Democratic voters, while his republican vote is only 120,430. We J are inclined to think that he is en-1 tirely too popular among the Democrats to suit the Republican party, and therefore may be counted cut. Governor Edwards is an outspoken candidate on a liqupr platform, which j eliminates him. He is quite popular! among the Republicans too, receiving j as many Republican votes as all the j other Democratic candidates combined. It is to be remembered that the American people are rather fickle about the presidential job. This is the expression of choice months before the election. The recent investigation of candidates' pre-convention expenses will probably eliminate several of the leading Republican candidates, and it is yet to be decided who the American people want for president.

Hatting Averages of Local Team, j The official batting averages of the' Bamberg team show that we ran boast! of only two .300 batters, although Frank Bamberg only falls three points short of the coveted mark. The averages below do not include the practice games, but strictly the regula| league games played according to schedule, and no player is included in the list who has not been to bat as many as ten times. Otto Large, who has played in only five games and been to bat 23 times, is far in the 1 1 ^A - ? ? ^ ^ ^ no /.n rvf leau, liming ai me lch mv ui .522. This lad has poled out an even dozen hits, several of them for extra bases. Captain Charlie Rentz has garnered the greatest number of hir.s, 14, out of 37 official trips to the plate, for an average of .378, Charlie having played in all the games and easily hitting second. Frank Bar.i* berg in 34 times at bat is credited/ with 10 safeties for an average of .297, and Pete Watson is fourth man < with a percentage of .256. The team's grand batting average is .274, a total of 73 hits having been made in 266 times at bat, which - is a very good record.
