Baseball has occupied the front
page of all paper* f or the past week.
The nation has had its eyes turned
toward Washington and New YorK
where the two contending teams have
been playing the most brilliant bail
in the history of the gieat national
game, (Joslin, hi- en on tin Camden
diamond three year.** ago, ha> risen to
fame. The pathetic part is Walter
Johnson, the world's greatest player,
and the man who did mufe toward*
.Washington winnnig the pennant, los
ing both games in the world's series.
Jle has been pitching great ba|l for
the past 'I eighteen years and an
nounces his intention to retire after
the close of the series. Members of
both teams will participate in a small
fortune. Twenty-six members on
each team will share it) $331,092.51
gate receipts for the first five games,
and if the games go the limit of seven
to decide the championship, the for
tune will be still greater
The long continued rainy spell put
many of the best sand-clay roads out
of commission throughout the state,
which shows conclusively that they
will not stand up under heavy winter
traffic.
- There is a law in this and other
states protecting boarding house and
hotel keepers against tho public. If
a man beats a board bill he can be
put in jail. Recent developments in
Camden since one hotel management
left town unceremoniously, leaving
debts behind amounting to thousands
of dollars, seem to show the need of
it law protecting the public against
-Luiarding house and hotel keepers.
Bigham has again been sentenced
to die. This time the date has been
forOctohc i .'{J. Notice of appeal
to t h?.- supreme court has been given,
which will stay the execution, a'Vul
ariothei delay is gained. Twelve Flo
rence county men and twelve Horry
county men have said- he was guilty.
Yet lie gets another lease nn life and
the entente ma\ t<-\ei !><? tarried
out
Attention is called' to the fact that
i( will be absolutely necessary to
show a city registration certificate
and city tax receipt, for all city taxes,
paid for 11>23 in order to vote in the
coming city election. (let your regis
t ration certificate and your tax re
c<-7)>?? so you will be <|ua!ilied.
A I'cw nioi'i' deer drives, such as
that last week, will ck-an up the deer
in Wateree river swamp. Hut theiv
must he lots of bucks in the swamp
for tine party to hag l.'i deei in one

He Ought To Be Convicted.
A young man is to be tried in
Flint* for singing "Sweet Adeline" at
a late hour of the night, to the terror
of the neigborhood. The technical
charge against him is disturbing the
peace. But since the complaint is
that he sang "Sweet Adeline", specifi
cally, it would seem that it is the
song that is on trial. Had it been any
"T51her tune, no complaint presumably
would have been made. Well, the
truth of the matter is that there is
something about "Sweet Adeline"
that is different from other songs.
It acts on the humor system like
moonshine whiskey on an Indian. It
is a sort of loco weed which drives
its perpetrators crazy. There is
scarcely a note in it that cannot be
held, tortured garroted. It is the only
son>; in existence that can be render

BOYKIN N KVVS NOTES
li>?ykin, S, (*., Oct. 7. ?The Octo
ber meeting of the Kershaw County
Medical Association ! was held on
Tuesday evening at the home of Dr.
and Mrs. lJ. T. Hay. About twelve
members were present ami the trou-!
bles of mankind were forgotten and
professional dignity abandoned at a
1 dinner table gi^aced with a "countty
cured ham" with trimmings. After
dinner the meeting adjourned to the
living room where interesting papers j
were read by Dr. Sanders and Dr.
Brasirigton. After this the real bus
iness of the evening received atten
tion, that of smoking and joking.
This was carried on in an enthusias
tic manner, though it was a matter
of real regret to all that Dr. Corbett,
the jester of the Association was not
present.
The Wednesday morning bridge
j club met this week at the hospitable
home of Mrs. J. W. N Cantey. All
j members were present and took their
! places in a business-like way. At
? noon the games were pleasantly in*
l terrupted by a delicious lunch, after
which there were more cards, more
doubling, more "setting."
Mr, and Mrs. Allen J. Boykin spent
several days in Columbia last week.
I M
iss Helen Boykin, of Kingstrec, .
i spent the week-end at home.
i Mrs. B. H. Boykin and Miss Lesa
Boykin are visiting in Columbia.
