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

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

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

having been called to the pastorate
of the Associate Reformed Presbyte
rian church of Columbia. During
their stay in Columbia Mrs. Moffatt
and the members of the family made
many friends who regret to see them
leave this city. At present Mrs. Mof-1
fatt is visiting a daughter in Honea;
Path while the household ^oods are|
being moved to Due West. Mrs. Mof-,
fatt and Misses Mary, Nancy, and;

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.
