Gen. K. K. Hemphill, of Abbeville, and his
brother, Maj. J. C. Hemphill, of Charleston,
went,to Due WsBt last Monday afternoon
from Abbeville. MeJ. Hemphill came to Abbeville
Sunday atnoon and spent the afternoon
and night with his brother. The Messrs.
Hemphill are sons of the late Rev. W. R.
Hemphill, of Due West, who was well known
to all the people of this county some forty or
fifty years ago. The father raised a big endowment
for Erskine, and the sons were
graduated at that college.

?n the Track.
i
The Columbia Record makes note of tbe
fact tb at at least one railroad will submit to
tbe court its demand for justice. It seem*
that a citizen of LexlDgton carelessly or wll- <
folly allowed bis bull to run at large con- '
trary to ibe laws of this State and U appears '
tbattbat bull, endangered tbe properly ol tbe
railroad and placed In jeopardy tbe lives
of railroad men and passengers.
Tbe railroad bas as mucb rlgbt to protection
against trespassing animals as It bat- 1
to be protected from msllclotfsly placed cross |
ties on Its track. Tbe railroad company bas t
done tbe rlgbt thing in suing tbe owner ol 1
that bull, even aB it would have sued tbe of- j
fender for placing a cross tie on tbe track.
If It should be argued that tbe railroad
shoald fence its track, common justice and
common sense would bold that tbe fence law
or this State forbids tbe trespasslDg by cattle 1
on tbe land of another, and that tbe railroad 1
is under no more obligation to go to the ex- '
pense of watching cattle off tbe track than it 1
is to seep a waicn to see no malicious person
places a crosstie on Its track. 1
The ball was a trespasser, aDd Its presence 1
endangered Jives and property, and Us owner v
should be made to Keep such obstructions off c
the track.
The Press and Banner has no sympathy 8
with the effort of the Record to ridicule the ?
right of the railroad to protection from careless
or negligent exposure of Its property and 1
passengers to daDger. The owner of cattle y
should be punished for allowing their stock *
to trespass upon the track of a ral lroad, and
we hope that every railroad may sue all such '
owners who do damage to the trains or kill 0
people. In case a jury should have the courage
to render a just verdict the railroads can a
put such trespassers to the expense of defending
their suit.
The Press and Banner would like to see the p
judgment of any South Carolina Court which 11
deolares that the owner of trespassing stock u
it not responsible for the damages which they l'
do; whether to railroads or to neighboring 11
farms.
The Record says: n
. d
Tilri von hear of a railroad nnmnanv milnc
a farmer, because the farmer's ball allowed
himself to be ran over by a train?
Lylea AMcMahan, of the oily, have Just tl
filed such a suit In the common pleas oourl ?,
for Lexington county. *
The parties to the action are: The Colum- rl
bla, Newberry, and Laurens Railroad oom n
pany, plaintiff against Sanders J. Meetz, defendant
In all the owlish solemnity and
ponderous verbosity of such legal lnstru- tl
ments, the complaint goes on to say: a]
"The plaintiff above named, complaining
of the delendant herein alleges. w
"That heretofore, to wit on tne 18 day of
April, 1908, this defendant permitted a oer- rj
tain bull, the property of the defendant herein,
to run at large beyond the limits of bis ef
own land, or the lands leased, occuplcd or at
controlled by him. contrary to the statutes
of South Carolina In such cases mada and pro
vlded.
"That on said 13th day of April. 1908, at
about 4 30 p. m. wblle one of plaintiff's trains
was passlug over Its said line of railroad from
Columbia to Laurens, and near the station of H
Leapbart, In Lexington county, said state, e.
and while running at a rapid though eceduled.
rate of speed, said ball entered upon, 111

thin plaintiff. JUHt Immediately ahead of a,
Bald train,land notwithstanding that due and
proper signals were given, warning said bull A
of the approaching train. It failed and refused
to leave tbe track, but remained there- h,
on and caused the engine and train of cars to
run over It, thereby causing great Injury and ai
damage to tbe said engine, and tbe machinery
thereof, and endangering the safety of the
train crew and the passengers on said train."
(You'll have to go back and read that passage
over again, before, tbe exquisite flavor
of Its dellclously unconscious humor soaks in cr
good.) d,
The complaint then goes on to cite section
1498 of the code, providing that whenever live
stock runclDg at large ion another's lands B!
cause damage, the owner of tbe stock shall be Qfl
liable. The paragraph concludes with tbe
solemn asservatlon that "this plaintiff has 10
been iDjured and damaged In the sum of $500 tb
Whereas, plaintiff demands Judgment m
against tbe defendant tor tbe sum ol $500, and
tbe costs of this action." P*
It seems that the owner of this deceasec*. tl<
bull takes a diflerent view of the matter. He gt
does not agree with the attorneys for tbe rail
road, when they Insinuate that bis Bovine to
Majesty was of a contumacious, contrary dls- U<
noBltion. though he does admit tbat tbe anl- j.
mal may have been "bull beaded," and In
fact probably was. mill Mr. Meetz thinks 11 61
should not be laid up against tbe deceased tb
that he was "bull headed," that being a 0f
physical affliction tbe bull couldn't help.
Sir. Meetze thinks the ra'.iroad company '-11
might bave reasoned with the offender a lit- hi
tie: for doth not tbe common lav? say one tll
must use every means to prevent a personal
oolllslonjeven to tight? bl
At any rate, Mr. Meetze. Instead of thinking
he owes the company anything, feels that
the company should provide some salve for
bis grief at the loss of tbe laie lamented bull;
therefore be has brought suit against tbe
company In a magistrate's court in Lexlug- su
ton for the sum of Stti that being his idea of q;
what tbe bull was worth, and has employed .
Mr. Albert M. Boozer to represent him at the ec
trial. dl
This case surely takes the persimmon. 8e

We see that at least one of the city mayors n(

quent use of the words in the city court has
a tendency to the profanation ot the Name te

LEANS vs. FATS.
.N EPOCH MAKING GAME
Jack Kpratt \Va? Xever Fat,
IIiu lvifA Wm "l'ever Lean.
So going double, Ihey hail no
trouble.
And licked the platter clean.
Not since tbe days when tbe hoodluma of
jerry Robin Hood broke quarter staves wltb
very Muscled Mike that offered himself; not
Ince tbe days when Don Quixotes inspired
y their Dulclnea Dei Tobosas rode forth on
ery steeds with the yell of tbe Troubadour
o do battle with windmills and things; not
ince tbe ruddy youth of Rome ran races on
be Applttn way for setterces has there been
uch an encounter as took place on the Abbellie
diamond on last Friday afternoon.
The good women of tbe Clvlo League
rougbt out Leans against tbe Fats in an enounier
wltb lbe ball and bat tbat made peclie
think of tbe time when the women and
b- Indians played.
Before the game began desultory players
aade their appearanoe on the street In sucb
.ttire as to caut-e one to wonder If be were not
ooklng at a red turbaned sheik of Fez or a
ilndoo hoodoo snake charmer from ibe
lanks of the river Baugh, instead of a natu
al born citizen.
Presently everybody In town except sucb
b were required to stay home to take care ol
'ery young babies were on their way to the
tall ground. When they arrived they found
t kaleidoscopic lineup of red, blue, speckled,
treaked, and striped stockings that would
nake Tlboo Tibs harem rare like the average
American woman In a Paris bazaar. Overills,
Union made and scab manufactured;
hlrtsand bandannas; Coco Cola caps and
)hoble headpieces; all were In evidence.
The Fats were: Alex Bowie, Brooks Cheatiam,Ed
McDavtd,Dale Barksdale, Joe Wllon,
Lee Miller, Harry Wilson, Mans HolIngswortb.
and Tom Botts, with Harvle Wil
on as captain.
The Leans were: Moore Mars, Will Harris,
}bas. Lyon, Foster Hammond, Horace
dcAllster, Les Smith, Dick Sondley, Johnny
tlcKee, John Harden and Jim McMillan.
Some very flue plays were made oa both
ildes. Foster Hammond especially should bt
mentioned as dodging the ball with as much
mse and grace and rytbmlo movement a*
ikllled waitzers pass each other on a waxed
loor.
Bill Gallagher, better known as "Golly
Saw," was scheduled for the game but there
wasn't a Mother Hubard to be found In thf
teven slates big enough for him and so he did
jot figure as a player.
The Leans went to the bat first and the relult
was a "white wash." Dale Barksdale,
playing center field, slowed up a red hoi
grounder burning Its way through the grass
itralght for blm. If bis pockets had been
ap side down he would have caught the ball
sure for It struok his legs and climbed up like
i fly lug squirrel, flew up by his bead and ofl
it a swift tangent.
Will Harris twirled a slzzler to Harry Wilson.
Harry didn't have out a red light and
&ot side swiped and had to limp to the flrsi
station with one piston rod down. Brook*
Cheatham, pitcher lor the Fats, threw Charley
Lyon an easy line which tb<? sheriff returned
to the pitcher and It was a pretty race
between the fat and tbe lean to tbe firm.
Bowie struck a bird that flew to tbe wood>
and made a home run.
At one time In tbe game Harden was run
ning like Jupltc-r In bis stately circuit, slowmoving,
majestic, wbeo Les 8mltb tapped
tbe leather for a hundred fathoms, and took
after him. It was like watoblng tbe long
band and tbe short haud of a watch with tbe
escapement off to see them. Tbe one moving
with all tbe majesty of a planet, tbe otbei
dlggln em up" like a short dog In a fox race

simultaneously.

"Feed the Brule.''
We have noticed a paragraph In the newa)ttper?
to the eflect, that when a wife was
isked how she managed to get along bo nloey
with a husband who was known to be a
rery disagreeable man, she replied: "I feed
he brute." To other young ladles who
rould avoid the fate oi being obliged to "feed
be brute" to whom she might be married we
rould make a suggestion or two. Before
narrlage take tbe conceit out olyour lover by
mpressing him with tbe Idea that you regard
omepother men .in much higher eBteem
ither as to ability or as to social standing,
fthls course does not chill his ardor, then
ry the plan of frequently reminding him oi
our distinguished friends and kindred,
rhose name you may frequently recall in
.Is presence. This last method may generaly
be relied upon for Its effectiveness but if
either or both of these plans do not ruD
way a baute of a lover, or as for that matter
Qy other sort or a lover, men ne bdouiq db
lecarded In plain and unmlBtakeable terms,
>r tbe. reason that ne Is of no aooount for any
urpose. If tbe first two plans do not re'
eve you of a lover, you need have no heslincy
in trying tbe tblrd plao, which Is ceriln
to be effective, nameb: By giving him
ae cut direct, any way to wound a lovers
ride will do. Borne men are lools and will
ot take a gentle bint, but must be knocked
own. And they deserve to be knocked
own.
Well now young ladles, these are some of
le ways to get rid of unappreciated loversfe
