WILL BE IN LINE. DIRECTORS OP THE LOCAL BASE BALL CLUB HARD AT WORK For Some Time and a Good Strong Team Will Be Organized and Put in the Field. In"writing to his paper about local base ball matters the Orangeburg correspondent of The News and Cour " ier says since It was definitely decided that Orangeburg will be in the State League this year very little "hot air" has emanated from this vicinity, but this fact is not indicative of a diminu ation of interest on the part of the local fans. The management has been steadily at work and 'satisfactory progress has been made. It has been decided not to select a manager untl the entire team has reported, when the most available man of the aggregation will probably be designated for that posi tion. In the meantime the directors are lookng after affairs. A number of players wish to come here for a try - out and several of last season's men have not been heard from since the receipts for their contracts were re turned. These have been notified that unless they signify their intention of keeping their -contracts, when .transportation will be sent them, they will be reported to the national sec retary. Cook, who played third on last year's team, was-offered the manage ment, but from what can be learned he is now playing independent ball and will not report. However, he has " been notified as to the steps which ^ill be taken, and perhaps will change his mind ratherj than be black-listed. Several men are nl ' ready here and the whole crowd .'s expcted by May l. Had it become known earlier in the season that the town was to have base ball a different location for the park would have been secured one more accessible to the business part of the' city, but it is now too late to consider a change, so. for this season at least, the games will he pulled off, as heretofore, on the State College grounds. When the season opens on the 11th of May Orangeburg will, as usual, be. found with the goods. GOOD NEWS FOR ORANGEBURG. ' Appropriation for Federal Building Likely to Be Made. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says it was announced on Tuesday that when the public buildings and grounds commit tee of the House brings in its bill Or angeburg will be taken care of. It is also rumored that Sumter may not ?get"4jnyJthing_thh> year, and that while .Columbia may not get any appropria : tion^nn^Lw^Vision may be inserted in the bill to take care of her present needs. N \ The members of the committee, who have been seen about the matter, will- not say positively what will be ^ done, but the above rumors were cur rent and are believed to be well * founded. / -. ? * The committees that recently came to Washington representing Colum bia, Sumter and Oraugeburg made a splendid impression on the members of Congress with whom they came in contact, and were it not for the fact that the bill to be passed this year will amount to only about $2,000, 000, half the usual amount, there is every reason to believe that Sumter, Columbia and Orangeburg would all fare liberally. The Posta|Will Come. It is said to be'practically assured that the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company will begin business in Or angeburg within the next few months. A gentleman who has been actively interested in having the Postal open up in this territory stated Monday that the company had definitely de cided to come here, ana* also to enter several of the smaller towns in this vicinity, including St. Matthews. It is expected that the office here will be ready for business some time in 'August. Will Have High School. The high school election at Rowes ville on Tuesday resulted in a unani mous vote in favor of the school. The Duke's school and the Rowesville school will be combined aud as a re sult a three-year high school will be established in Rowesville. The new graded school building has al ready grown too small, and the trus tees hope to erect at an early date a building specially for the high school department. Medical Association. The County Medical Association met on Tuesday and transacted the usual business. Dr. D. D. Sal ley who was elected as a delegate to the State Medical Association made his report, which was listened to with much interest on the part of those present. The next gathering of the association will be in St. Matthews, the third Tuesday in next month, and Dr. Knowlton of Columbia has been invited to deliver an address. Good and Strong Team. Spartanburg has a good, strong team and it ought to win the penant. Five of Orangeburg's last year team is on it. They are Carlton Ruesse, who is the manager, and Landford. McKensie, Richard and Thackham, all good and true men, as well as good base ball players. Orangeburg's sympathies are with Spartanburg, and we hope she will wiu the penant. 'Calhoun County Officers. Mr. Perry L. Cridder was appointed treasurer of Calhoun county, and Mr. James H. Haigier wa s appointed Auditor of Calhoun county by the Governor on Monday. LEVER HAS BEEN SICK And Every bod y Seems to Miss Him Says a Correspondent. The Washington correspondent of i The News and Courier says Represen tative Lever has been greatly missed from his accustomed place in the House during the past week. His enforced "absence has been'noted by many people, who have asked where the little Congressman from South Carolina has gone. When told that he was ill, there have been many ex pressions of regret and sympathy. Mr. Lever is a friend of the news paper man, and all of the Southern press boys know there will be some thing worth writing about when he is around. He likes the newspaper men, and they are fond o'f/him. He has never reached the state when he felt too proud to come out Of the House when sent for and say that he had no news when asked for it if he had none. Nor has he ever sent a newspaper man away feeling other than better for having seen him. He is the correspondents friend always. GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY.

GOT RID OF A BUNCH OF UNPROGRESSIVES. The Young Men Organized nnd the Croaking Critics Couldn't Stand the Ordeal of Initiation. I There was something doing in Cory ville. The G. B.'s were getting busy. Who were the G. B.'s? Oh, Just fol low this little story and find out! For many years Coryville had had on band an oversupply of citizens whose chief activity had to do with knocking tbe town. These fellows were but a small group, only four or five, but they did harm. Half a dozen mag gots can spoil the best cheese ever made. So these toWn knockers, these croaking critics, were slowly under mining the good reputation of Cory ville by their incessant chorus of defa mation. Nothing suited them. They opposed every movement for the good of the town. They croaked and; knock ed and clamored and hammered when ever anybody suggested a street im provement, a new building, tbe organ ization of a business men's club or anything of the sort . Finally the G. B.'s were organized. Of course they did not take the knock ers' bunch into their confidence. There was a reason and a good one for not letting the knockers know. The G. B.'s were organized in secret. The initial meeting was held in an old abandoned schoolhouse half a mile out of town. Grips and passwords and other secret sigus were adopted. Even a mystic apron was devised, but it was not to be worn where aprons usually are worn. It was to be tl"i around tbe head just below tbe eyes, thus serving as a mask. The G. B.'s bad been in existence only a month or so, holding their meet ings every Friday night In the old schoolhouse, when one of the knockers discovered that such a society had been formed. He straightway notified .his brother knockers. The group met In a grocery stors. ? "Seems to be something mighty mys terious about it," remarked the chief knocker. . "'Yes; can't imagine what they're up to," said another. "The society seems to have thirty or forty members, and most of them are the younger element around town, young business men." "How did you find that out?" asked knocker No. 3. "Why, one of tbe members told me," replied the other. All ofVhich was quite true. It was true also that this member had vio lated no rule of the G. B.'s. He had beeu detailed to acquaint the knockers with these primary facts concerning tbe society. Immediately tbe knocker in chief had expressed a desire to at tend a meeting. He was cordially in vited along with his brother knockers. When the five town knockers filed into the old schoolhouse at tbe regular Friday night meeting they found a most startling assemblage. About for ty men, with long white apron-like masks concealing their faces and reaching far below their shoulders, were standing around the walls of the chamber, which coutalned no seats. Every fifth man carried a blazing torchlight. Many of the others carried picks, spades and shovels. The supreme sachem of the G. B.'s advanced to the group of visitors and asked them solemnly if they desired to ( be Initiated into the order. They re plied that they did. How cau a man knock unless he is op the inside? The chief knocker laughed scornfully as he assented to the initiation. "The ordeal is severe," said the su preme sachem, "but if you survive it you are our brethren. Advance, G. B.'s!" Fifteen of the masked figures ad vanced, carrying stout cords. They quickly bound the hands of the knock ers behind them and tied the whole group together with a rope. Then the torch bearers came forward, the knock ers were led outside, the other G. B.'s followed, aud the entire party stopped pn the open space back of the school house. Without a word the men with picks began to dig. the sbovelors began to shovel, while the torch bearers held their lights high above the group. Aft er the digging was well under way the G. B.'s started up a dirgelike song in doleful voices. Altogether it was an uncauny scene. "Wha-what are you fellows np to anyhow?" gasped the chief kuocker. "Gentlemen, unmask," commanded the supreme sachem. Ail the G. B.'s uhmasked, revealing the fact that they were the leading young men of Cory ville. Then the supreme sachem, who happened to own tbe grocery store in which tiie knockers chiefly knocked, addressed the candidates for initiation: "We are the Grand Buryors. We are digging your graves' We have reach ed the conclusion that a few first class ' funerals are needed iu tue Interest of Coryville. and we have selected you gentlemen for the honor of furnishing the raw material. For years you have knocked and blocked every movement for the good of our town, and we have decided that Coryville can get along without you. However, we are going to give you a chance. If you will promise solemnly to boost and not to knock hereafter, you may take your own time and die natural deaths. But always remember that the Grand Bury ers have the tools and that wo csn dig." Coryville has no knockers uow. BURR JOYCE. How to Renovate Black Gloves.

How to Treat the Scalp For This Defect. In washing an oily scalp special treat ment Is necessary if the abnormal con dition of the glands that causes the ex cess of oil is to be checked. Before beginning the shampoo rub into the scalp to absorb the ol! a mixture uiude of one ounce of soft water and one raw egg beateu together. '1 hen wash the scalp with clear warm water. Another excellent cleanser for oily hair is made from quillia bark. To oue half pint of boiling water add one-half ounce of quillia bark, that may be bought at auy druggist's. Let this stand, but not on the stove, until cool. Shake< at intervals. Strain and use as soap. Equal parts of green soap and co logne make an excellent shampoo for a scalp with distended glands. The preparation should stand for twenty four hours, shaking occasionally. Any one of these three cleaning agents should be selected by a woman who is afflicted with oily hair, and it Is worth while repeating that, under no condition should shampooing 'be done oftener than once in three weeks, and once a month is apt to give more bene flclal results. A mistake frequently made In treat ing oily scalps Is the use of tonics that are overastringent for these will con tract the glands too quickly, having precisely the same effect that too dry ing applications cause. An excellent tonic to be put on every night In connection with massage of the scalp Is made of two drams each of spirits of rosemary, spirits of thyme and alcoholic tincture of cantharides, one dram of bicarbonate of soda, one dram of oil of mace, seven drops each of oils of nutmeg and cinnamon and half au ounce each of violet ammonia and cologne. Into the cologne put the three oils and dissolve the soda in the first two spirits. Mix the two combinations and add the tincture and ammonia last If the total quantity does nor' make five ounces, add cologne until that measure Is complete. Should there be any sore ness of the scalp this cannot be used, as the ammonia will cause a smarting. In Its place may be applied a tonic made of one-half ounce of alcoholic tincture of cantharides. three-quarters of an ounce each of spirits of rose mary, glycerin and aromatic vinegar and one and one-half ounces of rose water. -r?j-: How to Grow Fine Sweet Peas. A rich sandy lonm, good Oregon grown seed, enthusiasm, good culture, a well drained situation, will produce fine sweet peas. Excavate trenches the width of a shovel to the depth of a foot Fill In a couple of Inches with broken stone, on which put the soil, which should be of the richest pos slble^sandy loam. Use no manure un less It is well rotted?a soil that has been heavily manured the year before Is an ideal one. Plant the seed In a double row, four inches apart and three Inches apart in the row. Merely press the seed beneath the surface, and when the plants have caught on the wire netting between the rows pull the soil up around them, but keep it loose. Cultivate with the hoe often, and after the buds appear. If weather is dry, wa ter freely and spray the vines with a hard stream to keep down the red spi der if it appears. How to Make Chop Suey. To make chop suey to serve four por tions you will require mc pound of young clean pork cut into small pieces, two chicken livers and gizzards, one half an ounce of green root ginger, two stalks of celery, four tablespoon fuls of olive oil, one tnblespoonful of vinegar, one-half cupful of boiling wa ter, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, one-half teaspoonful of salt, rod and black pepper to taste, a dash of cloves and cinnamon, a small can of mushrooms and one-half cupful of ei ther bean sprouts, string beans, chop ped One, or French green peas. Saute the pork, chicken giblets, celery and ginger in a frying pan over a hot fire. Then add the olive oil. vinegar, water and seasoning. When nearly done, put In the mushrooms and sprouts or other vegetables. Serve with brown See Vu sauce that can be obtained at any Chinese grocery. The bean sprouts, too, must be purchased In Chinatown, though string beans or peas make fair ly good substitutes. Deafness Cannot be Cured, by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and tnat is by constitution al remedies, uearness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf ness Is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an surfaces.

MAY CAUSE A SMILE A COLUMN OF LIGHT READING THAT WILL BE ENJOYED By All Who Like to Read Funny and Witty Sayings from the Mag azines and Papers. The Insult Direct. An English country squire gave his tenants a supper and dance. After the feed he noticed that a certain fanner's wife was disconsolate. On being inter rogated she said: "Well, sir, I was never so insulted in my whole life as I have been tonight. Why. a young chap comes up to me after supper and says, says be, 'I suppose by this time your programme Is full,' and, believe me. sir, I had had nothing but the wing of a chicken." The Meek Curate. "When Dr. Creighton was bishop of London." says the present bishop of London, "he rode on a train one day with a small, meek curate. Dr. Creigh ton, an ardent lover of tobacco, soon took oui his cigar case and. with a smile. sald> 'You don't mind my smok ing. I suppose?' "The meek curate bowed and an swered humbly. 'Not if your lordship doesn't mind my being sick.'" What Caused the Tears. "Why are you crying, darling?" "Because my sister has been present ed by her husband with a set of dia- " monds that cost $1,500." "VVhy should that make you weep?" "Because you will now have to spend such a lot of money when you can so 111 afford it" Courtship In the Cumberlands.
