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.

FROM BUGGY

on Her Head and Dies Several
Hours Afterward.

ite drive from Blackville.
There were a number of buggies in
a line returning from the springs to
Blackville and a couple of young men
undertook to drive by Miss Sojourn
er's horse, which was a very spirited
animal.
The horse commenced running and
soon got from under her control,
though she is an excellent driver.
Miss Gillam became very much ex
cited and jumped from the buggy,
striking her head.
She never regained consciousness
and died at 2 p. m. Monday. Miss
Sop'ourner remained in the ,buggy un
til the horse struck a tree and threw
her out. She was very badly bruised
and is confined to her bed, but her in
juries are by no mear.s fatal.
Miss Gillam was adnnghter of Mrs.
M. Gillam, a widow, who is propriet
ress of the Hotel Blackville. Miss
Killam was milliner for Wm. Morri

sponse to the request of'the citizens
of that place for a consultation with
the authorities of the Southern Rail

where the road runs through the

NO TOWN KNOCKERS.
HOW CORYTILLE. 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.

BEST OP PROOF.
That Hyoinei Will Core All Forms of
Catarrhal Diseases.
Testimonials could lie printed by
he thousand, many of them from
jrangeburg and nearby towns, say
ng that Hyomei absolutely cures all
:atarrhal troubles. The best proof
>f its unusual curative powers is the
fuarantee that J. G. Wannamaker
dfg. Co. give with every outfit they
?11, "Money back is Hyomei does
lot do all that is claimed for it."
Hyomei is not a secret remedy,
ts formula is freely given to physi
cians who want to know what they
ire using when the prescribe Hyomei.
t is guaranteed under the Pure Food
ind Drug Law by Serial No. 141S.
There is no dangerous stomac h
Irugging when Hyomei is v0*. Its
tealing medication is breathed
hrough a neat pocket inhaler, reacti
ng every part of the air passages, de
stroying all catarrhal germs and cur
ng "the disease.
CLEANING OILY HAIR.
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.

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.

deafness, and tnat is by constitution
