TY COBB AND
TIGERS COMING
The folowing letter is reply to tele
prams and letters sent Ty Cobb's bus
iness manager, sent by W. H. Perri;
and Paul McNally:
Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 10, 1922.
McNally & Pcrrin,
Union, S. C.
Gentlemen:
Saturday I received a wire fror
you in reward to the possibility o
staging a Detroit-Rochester game ii
Union and wiied you at once tha
there was a chance, although m;
schedule was about filled.
We are playing only ten games ii
all and have plenty of opportunities
In fact, I have games booked, but
think T i>nn o
........ - VM.I UI4WV ? lUII^ClIICU
so that I could Rive you Tuesday
March 21st, if you cared for that date
You will appreciate that we giv<
you a real game in every respec
that we guarantee the appearance o
Ty Cobb, Harry Heilman, etc., in th<
Detroit line-up, while the Rochestel
club is captained by Fred Merkle an<
has in its line-up Maurice Archdea
con, who is regarded as the fastes
man in baseball and holder of th<
world's record for going around t.h?
bases.
We arc playing these games on i
guarantee basis. If it rains we gei
nothing. If the game is played wi
receive, after the game, the sum oi
one thousand dollars. The next thre<
hundred dollnrs of the receipts goef
to those staging the game; and aftei
thirteen hundred dollars the amoum
is equally divided between the bal
clubs and those staging the garni
(50-50).
I might state that we have beei
putting on these games for the pasl
five years, have never failed to get
more than the guarantee and have al
ways made money for those staging
the game. If I did not expect to receive
substantially more than $1,00(
at Union, we would not be interestec
in playing a game there. We hav?
made big money in much smallei
places than Union?Bamberg, for ex
ample. Darlington, etc.. and I knn-w
thing yot
cases we get the stores to close uj
the afternoon of the game and it it
general half-holiday.
I am willing to hold this date oper
for a few days in order to give you t
chance to think it over. If you knov
Bell, sporting editor of the Columbii
State, I think he can tell you hov
good the proposition is. Am confi
dent that the appearance of Ty Cobl
would draw the ci*owd from mile!
around and that you would have ar
attendance of upwards of $2,000 ii
the house. We always get $1.00 gen
eral admission, with extra for seats
We would not be interested in playinf
in Union if you had in mind a sma^lei
minimum price.
May I ask that you write me giv
ing your opinion as to the game,
know Cobb is rather interested ii
playing Union and thinks we wouh
do well. Awaiting your reply am
with my kindest personal regards,
am, Very truly yours,
Walter E. Hapgood,
Business Manager.
I hereby agree to become .one o
100 guarantors who will pay my pro
rata shai'e of the. amount necessar;
10 meet tne expenses 01 tne Detroit
Rochester baseball game to be playe<
in Union in case any deficiency exist:

LYLES HELD ON
FORGERY CHARGE
Aiken, Jan. 20.?At the preliminary
hearing held in Aiken today, Melton
Lyles, alleged forger and swindler,
was bound over on three charges of
"uttering a forgery," until the court
of general sessions meets in Aiken
in May.
Magistrate Raibon was the judge
sitting in the case and he first fixed
the bond for Lyles at $1,000 for each
forgery"charge, but at the request of
the attorneys for the defendant that
the bond be lessened, he announced
that he would not decide on botul until
he had conferred with the attorney.
The preliminary hearing for the alleged
forgers began this morning at
10 o'clock and continued until this afternoon
at 5 o'clock when court adjourned
until tomorrow. The last part
of the hearing was taken up with the
case of the state against Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Padgett, J. C. Westberry and
Melton Lyles on charges of conspiracy,
but the hearing was put off until
tomorrow, when all of the witnesses
shall have been heard.
Henderson Bros., prominent Aiken
attorneys, are assisting the solicitor,
R. L. Gunter, in the prosecution and
W. M. Smoak and Sawyer & Giles ore
the attorneys for the defense.
P. F. Henderson said he intended to
have several important witnesses on
U o n /I in f Vao o I n r*?
The hearing today began with the
testimony of L. C. Eubanks, in the
employ of George E. Owens of Aiken,
who was the party whose name was
forged on the checks passed in
Aiken. Mr. Eubanks explained the
circumstances leading to the discovery
of the forgery. He recognized
the checks and classed them as forgeries,
saying that neither he nor Mr.
Owens had signed them.
The next witness was J. M. Thomas,
toller of the Farmers and Merchants'
bank of Aiken. He said, after pointing
to Lyles, "There is absolutely no
doubt in my mind that he is the man.
He made an everlasting imprdssion
upon me at the time and I could not
easily forget him."
George E. Owens was the next. He
corroborated in full all of the testih,"
""* Mr, ,Ex
Wiliam Schroder, paying teller of
the First National bank of Aiken,
was the next witness. He was positive
in his identification of Lyles. "I
am absolutely positive that Lyles is
the man," he said, "because when he
presented the check and started an
account I talked with him for a few
moments and thanked him for becoming
a customer of the bank."
W. H. Pardue, teller of the Bank of
Western Carolina, on whom one of
the forged checks is alleged to have
been drawn, likewise identified Lyles
and said, "I am positive beyond the
shadow of a doubt that he is the man.
As soon as I discovered that the
checks were forged I wrote 'forgery'
on the backs of them and returned
them to the other banks at once."

IN OWN BEHALF
Lexington, Jan. 20.?Job C. Swygert,
who is being tried here on the
charge of murder for the killing of
Dr. J. C. Nicholson in I^oesville last
year, took the stand in his own behalf
this afternoon. The defendant
sets up a claim of self defense. In
his testimony he said that Dr. Nicholson
had made thrents against him
and that he shot the physician in
fear of his own life. He was on the
witness stand about an hour.
The state put up several more witnesses
today, seven thus far having
been heard, among them being Mrs.
J. C. Nicholson, wife of the dead
man.
The state rested its case at 1
o'clock today but will likely present
other witnesses tomorrow.
The first testimony for the defense
was the written statement of Dr. J.
P. Drafts of Ix>esville, who is too ill
to attend court. His testimony was
taken Thursday and was read to the
court.
It is not likely that the case will be
completed this week, as witnesses for
the state and the defense are yet to
be heard, and four or five speeches
will likely be made by lawyers on
both sides.
When court is not sitting the jury
is kept locked up.
POPE BENEDICT DEAD
London, Jan. 21 (By the Associated
Press).?Cardinal Bourne, Arch
bishop of Westminister, stated this
evening that he had been officially notified
by telegram from Rome that
Pope Benedict was dead.
J. C. Mitchell and his son, W. A.
Mitchell, returned Thursday from a
week's visit to York and Cherokee
county. They report a good time
and say they found good roads on the
entire journey.
FARMERS FAVOR
FORD'S EFFORTS
Florence, Ala., Jan. ?0.?Henry
Ford hopes for speedy action by
congress on his proposal tp lease and
operate the power and nitrate plants
at Muscle Shals and is "preparing to
formulate a definite plan for the
great fertilizer question of the future,"
he telegraphed the Southern
Group of the American ;Farm Bureau
federation in session here.
The telegram was read tonight at
a banquet here in honor of the delegates
and came at the close of a day
in which the conference had declared
immediate resumption of construction
work on the government's property
at Muscle Shoals n?essary for
providing ample fertilizewfor American
farms. The telegram follows:
"I wish to acknowledge receipt of
the large volume of letUttp and telegrams
urging me to accept your invi
tation to the conference erf the farm
bureau at Muscle ShoaUra These letters
from the farmers of many states
are significant of the ^tremendous
possibilities for public b?iefit which
center around Muscle JBoals. After
careful consideration I have
reached the conclusion that the interests
of the confereiMe and for
which it stands can be s??ved best by
meeting with you after cpng res s has
disposed of the Musclij fehoals proposal.
I am hoping fotfspeedy action
and am prepared to jormulate a
definite plan for the grmc felt lizer
cfUestion of the future, [ Please accept
my best wishes fottgthe success
of your conference and fir the prosperity
of the American, firmer."
An inspection that cacfled the delegates
to every unit of f^ie dormant
war project resuiieu w |un expression
of sentiment that ,jthc nitrate
plants are capable of timing out
sufficient fertilizer fcajfredients to
supply a large part of the farms of
America.

BLACKVILLE MAN
DIES OF INJURIES
W. Frank Walker, prominent farm-!
er and member of the city council of
Blackville, died at the Baptist hospital
nt about 1 o'clock this morning of
injuries received, according to infor-1
mat ion reaching Columbia, in a fight
with A. Y. Collum, Blackville mer-;
chant, and Behon Fanning, Collum's
brother-in-law. Walker was said to
have been struck with a cold drink
bottle.
Mr. Walker was brought to Columbia
at about 10 o'clock last night
and was immediately carried to the!
hospital where he was operated upon
in a vain effort to save his life.
Details as to the difficulty were
meager and the cause of the fight
shrouded in a maze of conflicting
stories. The affray, which occurred
just in front of Mr. Collum's store
on the main street of Blackville at !
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
according to Sheriff C. K. Sanders of
Barnwell, who was reached at his
home by telephone last night, was
said by some to be the culmination
of long standing differences between
the two men. It was not known who
was the aggressor in the fray, Sher-1
iff Sanders said, but Colum claims
that the fight was started by Walker,1
according to the sheriff, who says j
that Collum claims that Walker j
walked into his store and threatened
him. Walker, Collum claims, according
to Sherilf Sanders, drew a
pistol during the fight. Belton Fanning,
Collum's brother-ipf-law, Collum
says, then took the pistol away
from Walker.
The first blow broke the scalp, but.
it was thought, did little internal
damage, the second, however, was
just over the temple, fracturing the
skull.
Officers secured the pistol which
Fanning is alleged to have taken
from Walker, who, it is claimed by
Collum, according to Sheriff Sanders,
also had a pair of brass knucks.
B. L. Boylston.of Blacksville, one
of the eyewitnesses of the affray,
went to Walker's aid after he had
been struck and assisted the physician
who had been called in, carrying
Blackville and Dr. Joe Matthews of
Denmark, Walker was given prelim
inary treatment to be brought to Co'
lumbia later. Both physicians ae1
companied Mr. Walker to Columbia.
Both Collum and Fanning were put]
under bond by the city council of j
Blackville, according to Sheriff* Sanders.
Sheriff Sanders, who did not
know of the extent of Walker's in- j
juries, was in Blackville all afternoon,
but did not make any arrest,
! leaving the handling of the case to!
the Blackville authorities. Informed;
of Mr. Walker's death early this]
morning, Sheriff Sanders said that'
the two men would be taken into
custody at once.
Mr. Walker was 47 years old and
' is survived bv his wife, who accom
panied him to Columbia, and threechildren.?The
State.

MOVIE TAX BILL
SENT TO SENATE
The now taxation program, whiel
is expected *o bo the piece do re
sistance of the session's legal menu
yesterday continued its steady ad
vance in the house of representatives
the salient features of the meet
ing being the passage on thir<
reading of the motion picture license
bill and the introduction of the for
eign corporation license tax meas
ure. The domestic corporation license
tax bill, which was introduced Thurs
day, was not taken up for consideration
on the objection of Jennings K
Owens of Bennettsvillc that the printed
hill had not been on the desks o1
tho members the required 24 hours
This measure, as well as the foreigi
corporation tax bill, is expected te
come up for the second reading Monday
night. The introduction of tin
foreign corporation tax hill yesterda}
leaves only the luxury t?x measure
still to come from the hands of the
ways and means committee.
The motion picture license hill
fathered by Edgar A. Brown of Barn
well, is modeled closely after the New
York state law and provides for the
licensing of all films to he exhibitee
in the state, a license fee of $5 pei
1,000 feet of original *-film and o'
$2.50 per 1,000 feet of additiona
copies of films being charged. Th<
hill, which was sent to the senati
yesterday without further debate, i'
is estimated, will bring in to the state
returns averaging $100,000 annually
The license fee, under the provisions
of the measure, will be collected bj
the secretary of state, who is als<
empowered to prescribe such rules
and regulations for the applicatioi
and issuance of permits as he maj
see fit. The failure to comply witl
the terms of the proposed act woul<
be made a misdemeanor and any per
son, fiim or corporation exhibiting ai
unlicensed film in the state would b<
made liable to a fine of $100 or im
prisonment for 30 days for each of
fense.
