Some wear long hair because they are indifferent to public opinion. Hut they are not the ones who care for their hair tediously and keep It combed perfectly. Politicians . . . and even scientists . . . have followed the long-hair bent to some extent, but not so far as the musician."

' in the girl's game the Camden group, practically fledglings at the game went up ugalnst an outfit that1 bus had several years experience in the sport. There was no disgrace at tached to the defeat handed them. J Outstanding in the uffnir wu* a re-1 sounding home run smack that Vir-1 ginla Davis, rtie Cumden first sucker ] bunged out with the pillown ull occu* pled. Lack of experience und a spirit of self consciousness handicapped our 1 girls and there Isn't any doubt but 1 that in a return game which we hope to play here In the near future our girls will show up much better. I he boys game was a real surpi Ise to the fans, both from Columblu as well us Camden, everyone looking for a victory for the more experienced caplto! city group. Rut the Camden All Stars lived up to their name and icttUy went to town on offense as vsSdl as defense. < amden fans certainly showed their loya ty to the local teams by turning out in goodly numbers for the games n tact there were more Camden than Columbia people around the ball field.

Jacob Adolphus Haynes, the noisest sharpshooter in the merchandise mart came back after hurling a strenuous gauie the afternoon before and pitched a really beautiful exhibition, yielding but four lonely blngles. On the other hand the Merchants combed the slants of Sir Oswald nine times, one being a circuit smash by Jimmy Williams in the second frame when the Merchants put seven counters over the block. This added to three gathered in the first gave them ten big counters. After the free for all swat exhibition in the second, Funderburk got back into stride and for i three innings set the yard goods crew< | down in one, two, three order. Im I the sixth the Dilles added an eleventhI counter when a hit was mixed with two errors.

Hob Dulton, lone surviving member of the "Dalton Boys" who for ao long ruled and terrified the weat I aid a visit to Greenwood today. Col. Dalton came not aa the bad, bold desperado he has been in the past, instead he came as a quiet peaceful man who likes to let the >ast remain unexplained and talk of lis family and business?oil development. 1 As a desperado he was captured and served nineteen years in prison. He was imprisoned both at Fort Leavenworth and at Ohio State prison. Col. Hob states that he himself killed every man who ever took a shot at a Dalton. His record shows that he has killed 37 white men. No record was even kept of negroes nor Mexicans he killed. He married Dleta Basset t, a cousin of the late Huey P. Cong, a young and very attractive lady. They have a child less than a year old and although Mr. Dalton is deputy sheriff of three counties in Mississippi, in addition to being a l nited States deputy marshal, when his baby was born he laid his guns aside and says ho will never again (<?rr> a gun nor take a drink of whiskey. I ol. Dalton is the last surviving member of the gang of bank robbers and bandits who once terrorized the West. He is a big towering, bulk of a man and wears a wide brimmed Western style- hat. Theodore Iioose-1 veil pardoned him and since that time he says he has endeavored to go straight most faithfully. One could talk to .this man, who learned to read and write while in prison under the tutelage of O'Henry, without even suspecting that his education was any short of a college j degree. He is most interesting as a | conversational and probably knows j more Western history than any living person. With him Col. Hob carries a scrap hook (hat will substantiate his statement that he made the newspapers in every city in the world. He also carries letters from many of the nations most distinguished leaders, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, John N. Garner with whom he has eaten and slept, Jim Farley, Henry Ford, Huey P. Long, United States Senators Bilbo and Harrison. The Colonel is the only white man who ever served in the cabinet of the . Mexican government having been ap I, pointed by President Obregon in 1922. He rode with Pancho Villa anils recorded as being the fastest and most deadly two-gun man to have ever bees born. He has four bullet scars 01 the head where he was shot whDs lying in a barber chair with a steui ing towel over his face. In addltlot to these scars he has several bullel wounds on his body. "There are four things I never dH he declared, "insulting a lady, new In nor out of prison have I ever H trayed a friend, or trust and new taken advantage of anyone, and neW made a debt I failed to pay."
