In several games played In Fort Mill and at Rock Hill during the last two months not more than one or two home men appeared in the local uniform.

REPUBLICANS FLAYED BY HOMER CUMM1NGS The league of nations covenant was championed as the "Monroe doctrine of the world" by Homer Cunlmlngs, temporary chairman of the Democratic national convention. In his keynote address in San Francisco Monday. Of the peace treaty's defeat In the senate, ne saia: -no DiacKer crime against Civilization has ever soiled the pages of our history." He charcaterized the Republican platform as "reactionary and provincial." "Filled with premeditated slanders and vague promises, It will be searched In vain for one constructive suggestion for the reformation of the conditions which It criticizes and deplores." he continued. "The oppressed peoples of the earth will look to It In vain. It contains no thought, no purpose, which can give impulse or thrill to those who love liberty and hope to make the world a safer and happier place for the average man." He declnred that the peace time record of the Democratic party from March, 1913. to the outbreak of the World war has to Its credit "more effective constructive and remedial legislation than the Republican party had placed upon the statute books In a generation." Praising the administration's course In the war he said: "We fought a great war for a great cause and wc had a leadership that carried America to grenter heights of labor and power and glory than she has ever known before In her entire history." "T^et no one mlsunderstnnd us. These great affairs were carried forward under the stimulus of American patriotism, supported by the ccurage and spirit of our people. All bis is freely and gladly acknowledged but merely the time has come when, because of the calculated criticism nnn premeoiinieo calumnies 01 ine opposition, we are entitled to rail attention to the fact thnt all of these things were accomplished under the leadership of a great Democrat and of a great Democratic administration. If the Republican leaders are not aide to rejoice with us In this American triumph they should pave the crace to remain silent, for It does not He In the mouths of those who conducted the Spanish-American war to indulge in the luxury of criticism." Referring to congressional Investigations by "smelling commltteess." he said that over 80 investigations have been made, over two million dollars wasted and "the result has been to prove that it was the cleanest war ever fought In the history of civilization." "The Republican party became so fixed in its incorrigible habit of conducting Investigations that it finally turned to the fruitful task of investigating Itself. They discovered fraud and graft and gross and inexcusable expenditures. The revelntions disclose the fact that the meeting at Chicago was not a convention but an auction. The highest bidder, however, did not get the prize. The publicity which overtook the proceedings frustrated the initial purpose. The Chicago convention left the Democratic party as the sole custodian of the honor of the country." Peace achievements of the Democratic party, he asserted, "freed the farmer from the deadening effects of usurious financial control. Labor was riven its Magna Pharta of liberty. Business and finance were released from the thralldom of uncertainty an'* hazard." "The federal reserve system, passed over the opposition of the leaders of the Republican party, enabled America to withstand the strain of war without shock or panic and ultimately made our country the greatest creditor nation of the world." Turning to the record of the Republican congress since 1918, Mr. Cummings said it was "barren of achievements, shameless in waste of time and money and without parallel for its incompetencies, failures and repudiations." P?-e*lddnt Wilson's two appeals before congress for legislation dealing with profiteering, reduction of taxation, aid for soldiers and laws to improve relations of capital and labor were Ignored, he declared, and "after a year of sterile debate our country has neither peace nor reconstruc > lion." Copf?kT?te Vet<*raii Dead. John W. Dawrenoe,. Confederate veteran and one of York county'* brst known and most highly esteemed citizens, died Saturday at his home near Clover. Death followed an illness of two weeks, which was preceded hy a considerable period of declining health. Mr. Tawrence was 76 years of age and was a lifelong resident of York county. He was a man of strong character, an upright citizen and wielded an influence for good throughout his long and useful life. During the Confederate war he rendered faithful service to the Confederacy as a soldier, as is attested hy all his old comrades. He was a member of the Presbyterian church at Clover. Twin Calves Democrats. John M. Phillips of Oreenvllle learned that one of his cows recently gave hirth to win calves, and being a staunch Democrat. he immediately named them Co* nnd McAdoo.

Stevenson of Cheraw, who spent a ft w hours in town while on the way from Lancaster to York, where the senatorial candidates spoke yesterday.

Mr. Stevenson j also has a high regard for Vice President Marshall, who is an old time Democrat. Mr. Stevenson is apprehensive that *f Harding Is successful In the election next fall and a Republican Congress is swept into office with hlni that the Federal farm loan act. which vas passed a few years ago lyr the Democrats and has proved of incalculable vulue to the farming interests of the country, will lie repealed or amended to such an extent as to destroy its usefulness. as Harding vigorously opposed its passage by Congress. Asked as to what he thought of Harding's stature as presidential Mmber. Mr. Stevenson said he was not impressed with the Republican nominee as a statesman of broad vision. "There are. however," Mr. Stevenson added, "one or two Demo ?ats prominently .mentioned for the nomination who also are not big enough men for the office." Sl'KtTAR KVEMXti PROiJRAM.

McAdoo wus placed In nomination for the presidency lato Wednesday afternoon at the Democratic national convention In one of the shortest nominating speeches on record, by Dr. Burrls Jenkins of Kansas city. Jenkins told the convention that he had Intended to make a new initiation speech for McAdoo. "but on account of persistent nnd insistent requests from him that bis name not be presented in a speech. 1 have decided not to do so." "1 am sure that from the spirit manifested in my delegation and this convention thut we shall draft him for the service of the country." said Jenkins. "We know thut if so drafted, ho will accept the nomination." said Jenkins. "and any rumors of telegrams supposed to have been received denying that he would accept the nomination are falsehoods perpetrat. d by the enemies of our party. I therefore <nce in nomination William G.

The convention is expected to adopt today the party platform. LOOK TO TENNESSEE. Suffragists Hope Mate Will Ratify Anthony Amendment. Tennessee is the hope of the National Woman's party to save the suffragist situation. An appeal has been made to Governor Roberts, who has called a special session of the Legislature to pass on the suffrage amendment. The suffragists declare they are not discouraged by a provision in the constitution of Tennessee which requires that the Legislature must be elected on the questions at issue in a constitutional amendment before it can vote on ratification. They quote a number of lawyers as saying that the present Legislature will not be debarred from passing on the suffrage amendment. The decision of the 1'nlted States supreme court in the Ohio referendum case, the suffragists say, is "now held by the best legal authority to Invalidate" the Tennessee State constitutional provision, which has up to this time been held to prevent the Stute from ratifying the amendment before the 1920 elections. Will Stop Speeding. With the hearty support of the town council, E, A. Hill, the new mayor of York, is determined to put a stop to automobile speeding and other violations of the trattle ordinances. Extra officers were put on duty Saturday to compel compliance with the rules on this subject, and the results were gratifying. An ordinance which becomes effective at once forbids the parking of cars in the main business block on Congress street. This will relieve the congestion of traffic that has prevailed there for a long time, which has been almost intolerable on Saturdays. Illndciihurg Line Replica.
