Philadelphia, Oct. 13. In the fading sunlight of a beautiful October afteri l neon, Harry Hooper of Capitola, Cal., yearning for the Golden Gate with all the fervor of a native son, decided to i bring the world's series of 1915 to a close. Hooper earns a tidy little livelihood each summer by cohering right field for the Boston Red Sox of the j American league. The honor of his , /- Inh ourl tho hnnnr of his; Ipa.ship were ' at stake this afternoon when he came j to bat for the last time in the fifth j game of a wonderfully hard fought ! series- i game tied fast and hard. Col. Eppa Jeptha Rixey of iCharlottesville, Va., was hurling for the faltering Phillies and there was one out in the ninth when Hooper faced the erratic southpaw. The colonel made the batter look foolish as he broke two fast curves over the plate for called strikes, and the home rooters were howling in glee. This noisy approval evidently j made Rixey overconfident, for a mo-1 ^ T~ J Trro-? t t meni later iie giuuveu uuc. j.ucic nao a swisii, a crack of hickory against horse hide and a white streak headed for the centerfield stands. The ball fell to the ground and then with a long, looping bound it went into the crowd and Hooper trotted around the paths. Ended the Series. The Fhillie still were due a turn at bat, but there was not a sonl among the more than 20,000 fans crowded ir the park who did not know that the series was oyer and that the Boston Red Sox had won another championship of the world?four games to one. Flustered, but still fighting, the standard bearers of the National league went through the formality of completing the last inning, but not a man could get to first. . . - '**' This last game of the series was one to stir the blood. It was a battle from the jump with the issue ever in the balance. Twice it seemed Philadelphia had a winning margin, but twice the. Ked Sox nammerea tneir way to the front. Piling up three runs in the eighth and ninth inning, they got the decision, 5 to 4. I It was a batting bee in which, the Phillies got an early start. Their big i war clubs were ringing merrily when the Red Sox determined to take a hand i in the affray. From that time forward there was a crashing, clouting chorus that sounded a sweet symphony in the -ears of the fans. For the first time in the series "the hum -of the homer was heard m tne iana. rne i Boston hitters got the range -of the short centerfield and sent three -balls hurtling there for the circuit. Hooper got. two of the home run smashes ani Lewis another for Boston. - . I 15e*th of a Little GlrL _ The shadows of death for the first time ha/ie entered into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. W. Taylor of Si. PhFillips community and taken away their only little daughter, Miriam Esther, ^ged 1 year* 4 months and. 25 days. Little Miriam was aken serviously 111 -last Sunday, morning, ! the 10th, and at 12 o'clock the Following night God called the little soul I from this world of sorrows to that eternal joy and happiness. The Httle body was laid to rest in St. Philips graveyard on, Monday folits death at 3 o'clock by the side of its grandfather, Hon. John. F. Banks. The pastor, Rev. Y. von A. Riser, con| ducted the funeral service. j Dear young parents, the yoke of be! reavement has early been put upon Lyour neck, and this summons may have I come at a time when the joy of your | hearts could least be spared, and it is ' - ' 1 sad to realize tnat last weeK was an j joy and happiness, and so suddenly j those joys have been turned into sorrows and bitterness, but these are God's dealings and we must not question them, for some day He will turn them into joy. 'We know that it requires a very strong faith to realize that all things work together for our good, but remember the words of the Saviour when He said "Suffer the little one? to come unto me and forbid them not."

Estimated Majority of Nineteen Votes Aceordiug to Democratic Commit- | tee?iiesult Declared Friday. I The State. Charleston, Oct. 13.?Tristram T. Hyde has an estimated majority of 19 votes over Mayor John P. Grace for the mayoralty nomination as a result of the municipal primary held yester. day, according .to the tabulation furnished by the city Democratic executive committee. The ballot boxes have been placed in the custody of the executive committee and will be under a hea\y guard until Friday morning, when it is said the j result of tne lection win oe aeciareu. Good order prevailed in Charleston today and both sides adopted a waiting attitude. One box, Club 2, Ward 10, has been protested on a technicality by the Hyde managers. The unofficial majority of Grace at this box was 90. Granting Grace this majority Jlyde still has a lead of 19 votes. Everything' Included. . Therefore every possible note is considered in the mayoralty figures with the exception of challenges, the number of which will not be definitely known until the committee meet* The vote for mayj% e>.d.u.ing CluD 2, Ward 10, is: Fyae 3,087 | Grace 2.978 Hyde's majority 109 i Subtracting the estimated majority of iM-ayor Grace in ward 10, the Hyde j forces seem to have won by 19 votes. [ The four companies of the National Guard and the tb :e divisions of the naval militia, under arras since Monday night at 8 o'clock by order of Governor Manning, were disbanded this morning at 7 o'clock. W. W. Moore, adjutant general, who has been in command of the troops, left for Columbia at 3:30 o'clock this morning. There were three fights in ward 10 yesterday and the offenders were fined $10 each in the police court this morning. One man was tried on the charge of assaulting an officer and fined $10. City Still Dry. The dispensaries remained closed today and no word has come from the governor's office as to when they will be opened. It was said that only two 'blind tigers" were supplied with whiskey. It was reported that whiskey sold for 50 cents a half-pint, the highest price e er known in Charleston. This afternoon Mayor Grace issued the following statement: "My friends are urging me to hare a recount of the entire vote. . A difference of eight votes on the face of the returns will give the election to me. Moreover, the great number of challenged votes, which I am adyised are almost entirely mine, ought to be investigated. -^;W. "In the meantime I only wish to express my deepest gratitude* to., my devoted friends, who arelndeed, in my opinion, the majority of the people of Charleston. "The tactics that were used yesterday cut me off from ?00 or 400 legitimate votes.'* " ? Major Hiyde issued tne following statement: " . "I "wish to express my heartfelt thanks to all of my many friends for their loyal support which resulted in onr 'victory yesterday. Expects More Margin. "I feel confident thai when the election is declared our present majority will be increased. In a few days I will make a statement expressing more fully my appreciation." The managers of iClub 2, Ward 10, brought the box to the office of the ex ecutive committee this morning just before 1 o'clock. The Hyde managers immediately filed a protest on the grounds of irregularity, in that 89 men had been voted in the morning before a poll list was instituted. Chief Cantwell of the police department issued a statement this afternoon commending the officers and men of his department for the manner in which they handled the election crowds.

James Whitcomb Riley, the Roosier poet, was bora in October and only recently the whole State of Indiana joined in the celebration of his 62nd birthday. He? too, was fond of October, and why shouldn't he be, as it was his natal month. He wrote a poem on "Old October" and in that poem occurs this stanza: "I love old October so I can't bear to see her go? Seems to me like losin' some Old-home relative, 'er chum? 'Pears like stort o' settin' by Some old friend 'at sigh by sigh Was a-passin' out o' sight Into everlastin' night." You see, I am sorter getting to like Old October myself. But if you will! read history and take note of it carefully you will find most of the great men were born in Febrlary and January, and some few even in August. (That's my month. See?) Talking about James Whitcomb Riley, he wrote another little poem about his home town, and he was a great admirer cf his home town and believed in stick- j ing to it, and as all good men and good women do, and as they should do. Stick to your town and its people, they are the ones that help you to make the bread you eat, and then if you get in trouble, theiy are the ones who are going to come to your assistance. It doesn't pay to run off after strange gods. I am going to quote what he said about his little hamlet, and I want you Newberry people to take out "Tailholt"?and by the way that is a pretty good name, if you can't get any other "holt,' why then take a "tailholt" and hang on to it?and insert ^ewDerny and then see and listen how the thing would read. Here it is: "You kin boast about yer cities, and their stiddy growth and size^ And about yer county-seats, and business enterprise, And railroads and factories, and all sich foolery? But the Tittle Town o' Tailholt is big .. enough fer me/' i All of us in this town of Newberry should feel that it is biz -enough for me, and when we do not feel that way, then -we should move on to the town that is big enough to hold you. There's no use remaining^ in a town when you've outgrown it. A white man of 'Union was sentenced to six months o,\ the chaining Saturday for slander. If all slanderers could be rounded up and be siven the same sentence, the good roads problem would . be so 1< v ed.?uVew berry, Observer. . % ;' - _ . And then, mr dear Mr. Editor, who -would make tne rations to feed them, and who would,act as guards and jailers and officers, if you put all of them to working the roads? We couldn't live by roads alone. ^ And, then, if all the prohibition people were just good temperance people, what a.glorious time we would have. I mean temperate in all things. Not only in the matter of drink, and yet I 1'nnw o/-irr??k r?r>rwh i hi H rm i who are IVUV TT OUUi^/ uuii/ivtvu?v ? prohibitionists for the other fellow, and some who are political prohibitioniets. They want to take care of the other fellow and keep him from his glass of beer, but they would like to have a little for their own poor stomach's sake, and they have authority that is good for its use. Talking about temperance, I read a little squib a while ago from the Birmingham AgeHerald which is apropos in this connection. It ran something like this: "Dr. Shorter preached a sizzling serman today." "Yes?" "I never before heard a man use so mucn mveciive. "What was his subject?" reopen the dispensaries tomorrow morning. Every dispensary in Charleston county has been closed since Saturday in accordance with the governor's orders given Sunday on account of the primary election of Tuesday. "Temperance." And so it goes. The loudest advocates of temperance are sometimes the most intemperate of men and women. But I reckon it is all right, and for the best, or it wouldn't be. At any rate it suits me all right. f ?0? And this reminds me to remark that v I read a little placard in a street car the other day that ran something like this: "Any tool can give advice, hut it takes gray matter to use it." Now, dear reader, you can make the application. I am giving the advice and I hope you have the gray matter to use it. And to give you another little prOvor'h frnm r?lH man Tiirvo-onoc T,?? "The sun, too, shines into cesspools, and is not polluted." Old Diogenes, I think, is the man who went around in the broad daylight with a lantern looking for an honest man. It seems to me that I have read something like that at some time or other. There is a lot of truth in this proverb, even it the old man was odd enough to go around in the sunshine with a lantern looking for his honest man. If you want to help those who need your help you must get down next to them, and be able to do so without getting any of the pollution which they have. You can't reach them by preaching at them on Sunday, when they are not present, and can't hear what you say. It is a mistake too many of ouf ministers make. I remember on one occasion f a long time ago, a minister same to this town, and he was invited to a dinner at which were seyeral citizens and good men, but men who rarely went to church, and this preacher made the remark that he was glad of the opportunity thus afforded to meet these men, for in that way he would be in better position to reach them and to help them?that if he could not b3 thrown with them there would be no nnnnrtnnttv for him to reach them. And there you are. That remark made me think. An<J he was not hurt by the contact. The sun can shine into a cesspool and not be polluted. Think of this, you ministers, whose mission it should be to seek out those who are lost. The Great Preacher, if I am not mistaken, said something, about Ho came to save those who were lost and not those who needed no salvation. This in answer to the Pharisees who could not understand why he associated with sinners. But I did not start out to preach a sermon and I beg the pardon of the preachers. .

It is a very epecfcfcular picture. I also selected a good program from the World Film corporation for Tuesday of next month. These subjects are also much newer than I have been using heretofore."
