Thg eor!elei.en to one 14 favor ol the patensi pals. is 0bad,when.one considers .,,at the college team Ii composed of boys who amake study at end instead of sport. This game wai excellent practice for the college and the management is to be congratulat. ed on securing the Columbia team foi n!o doubt they have gained. valuabk training which they can use in con test against their sister colleges. The Columbia fellows are a gen tlemenly set and Newberry would bf ilad to have them here all the time Manager Granville must be com mended on the bunch he has got to ,ether not only as good ball players but as a quiet set of gentlemen. Thert was only one occurrence in the game which might have been criticised and that was when the first baseman de. liberately kicked. a ground ball thai would have settled on fair ground be yond the foul line. While this ma have been, done in- a spirit pf play at the saine time, the college- public can hardly understand it and n, doubt it was severely- criticised. Coach Holland has hit men in ex cellent form for the Furman game or Saturday. There is some good -mate rial on the team. In Wednesday'i -jame especially was - noticeable tht playing of Cabaniss and Boozer These men are.natural ball players They will no doubt be of much hely in winning the college games of the season. The work of Crouch was ui. to its usual flne standard, and Houseal who is younger in the game showed ip in fine form against the profes sionals. The names of the players and theii respective positions are as follows: 1sewberry college-Cabaniss, - e. Owen, s. s.; Boozer,. 3 b.; Scurry, 1. f. Wessinger, c. f.; Bedenbaugh, r. f. Busby, 2 b.; Hoover,1 b.; Crouch ane Houseal, pitchers. Columbia Professionals-Dunn anc Ferrel, c.; Needham, s. s.; Oranville 3 b.; Schirm, 1. f.; Wallace, c. f. Kennedy, r. f.; Duffy, 2 b.; Lally 1 b.: Ashton, and Ketter, pitchers. The next game at the college part will. be on Saturday afternoon be tween Furman university and NJew. berry college. This game' is excitint a great deal of attention as Furmar and Newberry both have excelleni elances for the South Carolina col lege peninant. A large crowd will doubtless attend the game and hely root Newberry on to victory. "IGURD WITH A LONG HISTOr Came From Scotland 150 Years Ago .Served in the Revolutionary War. Mr. W. T. Saxon of this city has a gourd which has a long and interest. lng hintory. The gourd', which holds about a pint, was grown in Scotland, accord ing to the story which Mr. Saxon has had hand~ed down to him. It wvai brought to this country hy Lewis Watson, who settled on Cloud's Creek in what is now Newberry county, in 1750. James Watson, his son, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and uged this gourd as a powder horn during his service. At his death in 1844, it passed into, the hands of Jack Saxon, one of his descendants, who re tained it until he died'in 1898, when it passed into the possession of his son, W. T. Baxop, who still owns.it. It is just a small round gourd, which can be,'easily carried in one 's 'coat pocket, and with a small hole in the end in which a cork. fits. Mr. Saxon nathrlilly prizes it very highly. -'Aiderson Mail. Cloud's Creek is in Edgefield coun ty, we think, and not Newberry: 'We d.o not now recall any Cloud 's Creek i this county. Death of An Infant. The many friends of Mr. and Mra. W. A.

It has been learned froni Columbia that the passenger represcitativel ,ot the: Southern railroad hld!'% meeting in Washington the early .p,att of this week to take up the mqtter of arrang-, ing the schedules for the sumner, pnd that at least for.the present the pt6. i posed change of schedule on the Co lumbia and Greenville divisin"of he Southern will not be made effective. There was a vigorous protest from Anderson which is really not on the main line from the Columbia and Greenville division, but it seems that the business men of the city of Ander .son were afraid that the proposed change would result in such a change of schedule on the Blue Ridge as to inconvenience the people f*rom Seneca and- other points between that place and Anderson from coming to Ander son and returning the same day, as they are permitted to do under the present arrangement. The prevailing reason probably why tile schedule will not be changed is that the people from- Charleston and other points between Charleston and Columbia object to the change because it.would. prevent them from going to the mountains without mak ing a stop of several hours in Colum bia. -Probably in the early fall after .the mountain travel is over for the c sumterithis.matter will be taken up again and, the public can then have the winter months. to get accustomed to the change. There are a number of people in -Ande.rson who would like to see the change of schedule effected at once. 'and we are satisfied if it were put in operation that everyone along the line from. Greenville, to Columbia would soon agree that it was a much better arrangement and a much more convenient schedule than the one we have now. Superintendent Williams told a represeptativo of Tle- Herald and News on Wednesday that he expect ed to make such an arrangement that the-trains cotild be run on time. The Southern going up yesterday, how 2ver, was oie hour late and has lfeen late every day for several weeks. The railroad commissioners assured us that if the change did not go into operation that the re.presentatives from Newberry should *,be given a hearing, but it seems that the change which they agreed upon has been reversed, and we have heard nothing from the commissioners. Probably they do not know of the meeting in Washington of the passen zer representatives of the Southern. This being campaign year it may be that the commissioners do not care to take the responsibility of any change or of any other matter. Feast o$- theo Passoer. The Jewish Feast of the Passover, the greatest, most importa'nt . and uiiost rigidly'-observed. of all -Jewish festivals is being celebrated this week. It always begins on the 14th of the first month, Nisan, and continues for eight days. It commemorates the de livergnce of Israel from Egyptian bondage.
