The Press and Banner Company Published Tri-Weekly Monday, Wednesday and Friday. argument which he adduces to prove hfs assertion is that baseball hfis cur ed the boll weevil blues. We are not sure but that our friend is right. At any rate the Ab beville Team has been a source of pleasure and satisfaction to every lover of good manly sport here. The games played here have afforded everybody a chance to get out of the rut and to add a little ginger to the system. The players on the team ? *-? - ^ mrm-i-nrr fnllnmc Tt IS are a uu? act ui j.Vuv..? -- ? no small thing for a city like Ab beville to be represented by such a goodly number of gentlemen. As sportsmen there are some things we should learn. One is that the exhibition of temper over the decisions of the umpire is not sports manlike. We do not object to the fans registering kicks on decisions such as were made here last week. But it can always be done without charging on the field and threaten ing bloodshed. The umpire does not always see the thing right and not all umpires are good ones, but that is no reason why we should resort to tactics which do us no credit and Knf f r\ toccon flio Hiornitv of good sport. It is stated that Spartanburg and Greenville want to come into the Carolina League next year. We have no objection provided such restric tions are thrown around the matter of securing players as will keep out professionalism, and keep the door open to local players. It is not that we have any objection to profession al ball players, but places the size of Abbeville and Laurens and even Greenwood and Anderson cannot support a hired team. We can only maintain a team when it is selected as the teams this year are selected. It may be necessary to make some additional rules about securing pitchers in case these other cities come in, because it will be impossi ble for the smaller towns and coun ties to furnish as many good pitchers as Spartanburg and Greenville will be able to furnish. With the excep tion of pitchers, however, every player should come from the county in which he is a player. MOVE TO DUE WEST. Mrs. J. S. Moffatt, who has been residing at 2522 Divine street, has removed with her family to Due West. The family came to Columbia last fall, the late Dr. J. S.

During their stay in Columbia Mrs. Moffatt and the members of the family made many friends who regret to see them leave this city.

The chief DR. DAVIS BUYS LOT Dr. Thomas L. Davis is evidently getting ready to invite the faculty of the Greenville Street Setback College to visit him in Augusta. We say so for the reason that The Au gusta Chronicle of yesterday brings the news that he has purchased a lot and is soon to build a modern residence. The lot purchased fronts 100 feet on McDowell Avenue and has a depth of 300 feet. It is in the most exclusive section of the Hill, which is our reason for believing that the Doctor is expecting visitors from Greenville Street. Dr. Davis located in Augusta be fore the World War. At the begin ning of the war he entered the ser vice as a surgeon and was in the service until about two years ago, when we was discharged. He went immediately afterwards to New York where he did special work, and upon completing his course he went to Augusta again. He is very popu lar there and is building up quite a reputation there as a specialist in eye, ear, nose and throat diseases. He operates at the Hospital here frequently, and always with marked success, I MOSQUITO BITE CAUSES DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL Blood poisoning, brought on thru infection from a mosquito bite, is believed to have caused thfe death of Elizabeth Strom, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Strom of Gallison. The little girl died Thursday morning about 11 o'clock at the home of her parents at Calli son. The funeral was conducted there today by Rev. E. P. Driggers. The child was bitten on the nose by a mosquito, it is thought, about ten days ago. The bite became in fected and the child grew steadily worse. For several days prior to her death, the little girl had been uncon scious.?Index-J ournal. FEWER UNEMPLOYED NOW IN GERMANY Berlin.
