With the Carolina League baseball season rapidly drawing to a finish local fans were last night preparing to witness the two or three remaining E*ames to be played by the Electric ians, leaders of the league, and ap parently the club which will carry off the coveted rag. The locals go to Abbeville today where one of the two protested gam es will be played over, the second i being slated for Cater Park tomor-' row. A game protested by Green-1 A-ood recently, may be played here i Friday, if development of today and tomorrow make such a course neces sary, to determine first or second places in the league standing. That today's game will be a hard: fought affair goes without saying. \bbeville undoubtedly has "blood in :he eye" for Anderson and the Gal oway gang are determined to take first place in the league if possible. \nderson now has a good margin 3head of Abbeville, but Abbeville tias yet two games with the Electric City chaps and then has one more vith Greenwood, which should it be. played and Abbeville win, might give txer the top of the ladder. i Tomorrow's game at Cater Park is expected to be the banner event >f the season, from the standpoint >f attendance and especially so if, ;he locals should happen to lose in' Abbeville today. Winning today's jame would practically amount to vinning the pennant and such a state of affairs would not likely bring >ut so large a crowd here tomorrow is the defeat of the Electricians in Abbeville today. However the gang is going down to win today and the jame should be one of the beat yet played by the two teams.

McCravy Gets ( in P Candidates For C Audience of Ab The following is an extract from The Easley Progress of the account I of the congressional campaign meet ing at Pickens court house last Sat urday as relates to E. P. McCravy: TUa fkr?Ar\ no -ft\t* /*Ancrroce X lie VU1CC va^>uiuni>WJ Wiigkvwwy Messrs. Dominick, Sherard and Mc Cravy, spoke at Pickens last Satur day afternoon to an audience esti mated at 2,000 people. The speak ing was held in the tabernacle which is a splendid place for such gather ings. All speakers were given good attention and the meeting was free from mudslinging,, although Messrs Sherard and Mr. McCravy lambast ed Mr. Dominick's record, declaring that they had a right to criticise his official acts. The meeting was pre sided over by Hon. W. E. Findley, county chairman, and was opened with prayer by Rev. W. L. Spinks, of Easley. Mr. Sherard spoke first Mr. Dominick second and Mr. Mc Cravy last. The feature of the meeting was the speech of Senator McCravy, and the ovation which was given him at the close of his speech. Mr. Mc Cravy was the last speaker and be gan his address by thanking the vot ers of his home county for the atten tion they had given the visiting can didates. He recalled to the minds of the voters the successful fight he 1- : 1 nauc against uic vcicpuuuc vvuipanj in the senate last winter. He then launched into an attack of the offic ial record of Mr. Dominick. He de clared that Mr. Dominick was incon sistent in opposing a bonus for the soldiers and at the same time allow ing his clerk and secretary to draw an annual bonus from the govern ment of something like $480 per year. Mr, McCravy then referred to a newspaper article appearing in a New York newspaper to the effect that Mr. Harry Dominick, brother of Congressman Dominick, is on the government payroll t.s a clerk to the congressman, and on investigation Mr. McCravy declared that he found that Harry Dominick runs an oil mil in ixewcerry ana reuuera ny aei??,c so far as he knows, to the govern ment for the money he draws. Such men as these he declared the New York newspaper referred to as "parasites" on the government. Mr. Dominick was present and did not deny the statement. CORN SMUT NOW MAKING RAVAGES Dangerous Enemy of the Corn Crop Making its Annual Appearance Over the State. Clemson College, Aug. 22.?Corn smut, which is beginning to make its appearance in this year's crop is characterized by various sized swell ings on almost any part of the plant above ground. At first these are white, but later they turn black, and still later they become dry and burst open. The interior is then filled with a dark brown or black powder, com posed of the spores of the fungus. The damage is usually comparatively small as compared with some other sources of loss, but it is serious be cause it always occurs. Mrt coficfapfnrv fnnfrnl mpaaurp is yet known. It is sometimes advised that the sour masses be destroyed, but this measure is not apt to be very successful unless it be made a community practice over a consider able area and be persisted in for some vears. since the fungus can maintain itself in the soil and in debris for a good while, just how long is not known. The Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture is working on the problem of control, and there are hopes that the investigation will iL. Ul soive tne piuuiuiii. Corn smut does not seem to be poisonous to livestock, fact, a pos sible ultization of it as human food has been suggested. Dr. F. L. Stev ens of the University of Illinois, a national authority on plant diseases .... hration ickens County Congress Spoke to out 2000 People I Mr. McCravy told the voters that he did not want them to come to the conclusion that he was running on Dominick's sins, but that he had seen so much that the present congress man had done and had not done, that he could not stay off of Dominick's record. He declared that he had a right to recall the action of the present congressman. Mr. McCravy assailed Mr. Dominick's record with telling effect. Mr. McCravy referred to Mr. Dom inick's opposition to| the farm bloc ? I in the senate, declaring that Mr. Dominick was in error in trying to make the impression in telling them that the farm bloc was a high tariff organization. Mr. McCravy favors the farm bloc and referred to the fact that Senator Tom Watson of Geor gia,'and Ed Smith, of South Caro lina, were members of the farm bloc j and asked his hearers if they thought such men as these would belong to a "Republican high tariff organiza |tion." Mr. McCravy referred to the fact that Congressman Dominick voted against war, voted against the draft act, and voted against the bonus. On these momentous questions the con gressman from the "third district stood alone among South Carolina congressmen, the other six congress men from this state voting in favor of these measures. Mr. McCravy declared that if he had been in con 'gress he would have voted different and ably defended his position. Mr. McCravy also touched on the immigration question and said that he wanted restricted immigration. He said we should save America for the American people and stop the influx of undesirable foreigners. ne toucnea on me auojt^u ui mc cotton exchange, declaring that the unrestricted sale of future contracts demoralizes the spot market, and robs the fanners of millions of dol lars. In concluding his address Mr. Mc Cravy thanked the voters of his home county for their support or past occasions and.assured them ol his appreciation. At the conclus ion of his address he was giver a great ovation. Men who said thej had never clapped their hands at i political meeting before in theii iiVoc +n thp imnulse and shouted, "Hurrah for McCravy."? Political advertisement.
