Ile ls ?pending the night here and he will leave in thc morning, a converted "hoosier." That one man's influence may result in several new ( enterprises being attracted lo Ander son, thereby paying for the system.' This le but one illustration and there arc dozens of others. itnilreads Have Completed Pin nv. W. lt Tabor of Greenville, who la connected with the Southern railway at that point, spent yesterday in An derson and while here made the slalo ment that his road had completed all preparations for handling the large number of Elks coming to this city next week. Mr. Tabor said that his line had made every possible prepara tion for looking after the travelers and would leave nothing undone in an effort to make them enjoy the trip, not only to Anderson but over the road. Thc Southern railway will sead three or four Pullman cars Into An derdon from Columbia and Spartan burg and this will be a great help since Anderson has not the hotel faci lities to care for such a large number of visitors at one time, lt is esti mated that 500 or possibly more mem bers of the D. P. O. Elks will bc herc Wednesday and Thursday. -o "General" .Must . ? Not Carry Arms. Magistrate Hroadwclt had before him yesterday a no-less distinguished person than General Stoverson, a ne gro, charged with carrying an "owl's head" which In the parlance of An derson's negroes means a vicious :18 calibre pistol After due deliberation and considering the "matter in all light:;, the magistrate could see no reason why Steverson should carry a pistol, even though he ls a general, rind therefore the sentence of the court was that the said General Kt ev erson pay a fine of $25. The negro did not have the money but his boss did and his fine was paid. '.? ? o -- Teaching How1 ? . To Make Clothes; - - .

The most serious Injuries consist of a wound on his head and two broken ribs in his left side.

Rothrock, said yesterday that, from what he could gather the rain of Wednesday extended almost all over the county. He Bays Borne sections were visited hy a down pour of almost a torrential nature and that almost all sections had some rain. A few districts failed to benc . flt. Mr. Rothrock says that the plant ers are jubilant over the rain and were niore optimistic yesterday than 'they had been in some weeks. -0 Another One of "Thc Hottest Yet." It was the.consensus of opinion in Anderson yesterday that the day was "the hottest this season" and it would hardly he a safe proposition to argue that question with any one whose duties required him' to be out In the sun all today. Any1 objection to the statement that yesterday was a record breaker would probably precipitate a battle. Tho mercury at 2 o'clock mounted to 101 in the .shade and lt cannot bc denied that this ls' about ar hot as it ever gets- to be in- thjs "neck 'o thc woods.". Some rolisf waa experience'* at sunset. Challengers Strong. Hempstead. N. Y., June IL-The challenging British pololsts today scor ed a victory over what ls considered the second strongest'team In'the Unit ed States.

A BUNCH YESTERDAY SCORE WAS 5 TO O Chick Watson Struck Out 20 Men and Red Childers Registered 3 Runs Out of 4 Times Up Anderson baseball lana yesterday witnessed the first appearance of tile Anderson league leam when that ag gregation went up against the V. M. C. A. leam ami won from them by a seore of r> ni u. Willie there was some ragged playing ?lone, the exhihition I w as us good as lias been seen at Buena j Vista park in uome several moons. The Ians were tickled with tin? showii." j made by thc league team and did not hesitate lo say so. Tile two most marked features of the game may he mentioned as the pitching of Watson for the leaguers .md Un- hilting of Childers. Watson! struck out 21) men and Childers, out t;t four times up, secured three three naggers, any one of which would have ' been stretched into home runs if thc league season had opened. I The Y. AI. C. A. boys played good ball but they were handicapped by the fact that their team was disorgan- ? ized and several vacancies had to be filled with borrowed players. If Anderson goes Into the proposed Piedmont league with a club ranking ! equal in all respects with some of yesterday's playing this team will be, found among the top notchers before one week of playing has passed. The I heme aggregation looked good. It is said around the circuit that thc season positively will open Monday, j regardless of whether lhere is a fourth town in the league by that date and if Ibis course is pursued Anderson will be ready to send her bunch out on tho opening day. With a few weak places filled the Anderson bunch will have a good show at thc rag and wilLrank well with any club in the association. It is said that "I^cgs" Martin has corrralled a husky bunch of collegians and has them in Spartanhurg now, ready to open thc season and Slouch i:; supposed lo have a team in Green ville, ready for thc field. Anderson is certainly b?t a little way behind and this town will give a good ac count of herself, lt ic now a question o? whether Gaffney or Union wll got thc vacant berth In thc league. Gaffney has the refusal of thc place and Union will have no chance unless Gaffney refuses to enter. In that event, it is said that one Union fan is ready to finance the entire venture and put a club into thc association next Monday. Any way there ls to be baseball of some 'sort in Anderson this year and that will bc cause for rojoiclng among thc local enthusiasts. CHURCH PICNICS The two picnics conducted by An derson churches yesterday proved to be successes and they w?re enjoyed by large crowds. j The Sunday school pupils and mem ' hers of tho Central Presbyterian ?)pcnt tho day at Williamston and bsd one of the most delightful outing-* at the Willtamstou park that this church lins ever experienced. Under the leader ship of p. Witherspoon Dodge (who al most missed tho train) the Central people left Anderson yesterday morn ing at 10:30 o'clock on thc G. ti. &. A., railway, traveling on a special trait; They had a delightful dinner in the park and returning reached Anderson last night at 7 o'clock. There was not a single accident during the day. Like the other church, ibero was no accident on the picnic conducted by the First Presbyterian church to Simpson's mill and this was a tho ! roughly enjoyable event. Tho chll I dren composing this picnic party left I Anderson yesterday morning at an early hour, making the trip ont to this beautiful spot in automobiles. They had a pleasant day and there was not ? Ingle accident to occur which could cause annoyance. Both the outings were enjoyable and the tired, but hap py, children Bald last night that they had never enjoyed picnics more than they did those yestorday.
