' Page No. 2 ARREST MADE FOR A STILL The recent article concerning the capture of a still in the Jordanville section, has caused some speculation as to the home in which it was tnken, and it appers that accusations have been maae upon surmise. When the facts about the capture of the still weve prepared for publication in the Herald recently the authorities had not disclosed the name of the man in whose home the still was found. Since then as shown by the records A 1 ? ' % ? an me magistrate's office here, John Capps was charged in a warrant sworn out by V. D. Johnson of the rural police force, with having the still, or words to thai effect. It /apperas that it was in the home of Mr. Capps that this >.till was found. It was not in operation nor was it fitted on a range ior stove for the purpose of operation, but was simply found in the home of .John Capps and was taken from his home by the officer. The defendant made a bond for his appearance at the cou>rt of general sessions, reserving the right to >mve a I preliminary hearing of the case. It is] stated that the t;me preliminary has been demanded and that a hearing will take place in the case as 'soon as* the time has been fixed and the parties and witnesses notified of the time. It is understood that the defendant denies any violation of tiio law in the matter. BASEBALL GAME BIG MONEY BAG ( Involves Millions of Money and Big Talent of the Country 'On Wednesday, April 18, the baseball player again trocs on national c' n nr\H Hold" A ? spotlight for an'other season. In the American and .loiic. eagues, tne umpire calls "Play Ball!" the thousands in^ the stand are hushed in tense expectancy, the pitcher winds up his arm, the hall shoots toward the plate, the batter swings, and the annual baseball season is on. Babe Ruth at Bat. 'The rational pastime again engrosses the attention of the "great American peepul." Politics?will President Harding again be a candidal??wars and rumors of wars? ?these are questions relegated to the limbo of forgotten things for the time beint:. Babe Ruth is at the bat! Will he clout a homer? Will he strike out? That is the question. Baseball a Business. But consider baseball as a business, the capital invested, salaries paid, receipts taken in at the ticket window. number of men earning their livelihood at it, gambling chances of the macrnntes. the Darks, the training trips?look at it from a business standpoint and think in terms of millions. Millions of dollars invested. Millions of dollars expended. Millions of "fans" and millions of players, for would not every honest-to-goodness, American boy rather have the fame of 'a Babe Ruth as that of the President of the country that gave him him birth?

The receipts were negligible, amounted to less than ti ,000. x'ow think in terms of millions. The fifth game of the world series between the Giants and Yanks last vear drew 38,551 persons. They paid $136,147 to see the contest. The world series games in 1021 netted $900,233.

Now the gamble of it. Ruth av hi one awful fizzle this year. He wai last year. If he doesn't knock .a bal over the fence, the $75,000 is his jus the same, so much per month.

Rog- ? ers, on last Monday, for the reason that the sale as advertised was stopped by a temporary order of injunction granted bv Judge Townsend in Georgetown on April 30th. The sale Was .advertised under an order of foreclosure of a mechanics lien held by the Enterprise Brick Company. this order of sale also granted by Judge Townsend at the April term of the court here.( This order of sale followed a consent verdict , against Rogers in the court of common pleas while the jury trials were in progress. Ahead of the mechanic's lien against this brick building, in Aynor, there are standing three mortgages: The first held by John T. Shelley; the second by Morgan Lewis; the third by David W. Graham. The three mortgages total about as much as the building is worth in the opinion of some of the business men. After the court was over some of holders of the mortgages decided that the consent verdict entered against Rogers would tend against their interest in a foreclosure suit that was commenced recently by John T. Shelley, and after some delay Dr. Rogers | seems to have made an affidavit on the .application for the injunction that he had been taken by surprise, or had neglected to look into the matter, before this course was taken with the brick case. He will apply before the : court here at the June term for an or- : der to vacate the consent verdice i?nd ; decree which forecloses the mechanics J lien. o 50,000,000 TIRES A YEAR Enormous Quantity of Crude Rubber Is Consumed A t >till of 225,216,753 pounds of crude rubber were used in the manu- * facture of automobile and motorcycle tires in the United States during the last six months of 1922. At the beginning of 1923 there were about 150,000 tire workers and makers in the United States and about 200,000 tire dealers and salesmen. The large increase in production of automobiles within the last nine yean is responsible for an increase of 32(> per cent in tire production. It is estimated that seveny-five out of every 100 pleasure car owners stored their ( cars during the winter season prior to 1922. Last year, however, about 75 per ( cent of the owners used their cars throughout the entire year. Tire production at the present time is said to be running at the rate of about 45.000,000 pneumatic and solid tires a year, and if production maintains the pace set in January it will easily exceed 50,000,000 tires. This xvi 11 no. be excessive production, 1 as chere are 12,500,000 motor vehicles in the country, and 3,000,000 additional Ones are expected to be manufactured this year, say Miller tire men.More than 5.300.000.000 e-allons of r ' - ?

The people of Egypt . played "a kind of ball" 4,000 years ago. CoI urn bus reported the Indians on this side of the big pond played at ball. A leather ball has been used in a game in every country, including China, since that time. But the athletes of the United States introduced the bat, the diamond, the baseball stadium. It is said the capital investment in baseball parks in this country approximates $23,000,000. This only provides a place to play. The pay roll for only one season of the average major club totals over a quarter of a million dollars. Add the cost of the spring training trip, the $tS0,000 bill for traveling in Pullmans during the reason from city to city, and it can readily be understood that the owners must take in Iv.ilf a million dollars a season before they can hope to pocket a cent in profits. The Game Coats Millions. Think of the 174 clubs of the 21 major leagues, the semi-professional II teams paying $10, $15, and $25 a player for one game, the journeying about on railroad and auto trucks, and the national pastime, as a business, assumes gigantic proportions. I.ast year the 200 manufacturers of 1 sport goods in this country turned out products valued at $25,000,000. It t is estimated that $10,000,000 of this " represented baseball paraphernalia; * balls, bats, uniforms, plates, masks, and gloves. The game costs millions, but it is 3 worth it. The blood tingles, the great ' American people gets a new lease on t life when the umpire calls "Plav d Ball!" The people pay the millions but they get "value received." "Play R Ball" is the panacea for many ills. Let the rest of tfrp-world agitate itself in jealousy, itch of conquest and s strife?America will "Play Ball!"

Added interest is created in a statement coming from one, who has spent a lif? time in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Annie Stewart, who resides in Boston and is possessed of the respect and confidence of her associates, and is willing for anyone to call on her to verify the following signed testimonial. 441 have suffered with stomach trouble for the past seven years. It took the form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I had dizzy spells and headaches, and after I ate a littr? food it would ferment and cause gas to form in stomach. I had pains all 'wer my bVily and was chronically constipated. My liver was torpid and I felt miserable. I had doctored and had been in the hospital, but received no permanent relief. I was so nervous and restless that at night I could scarcely sleep. The gas, pressing under my heart, caused palpitation, and when I arose%in the morning 1 was just as tired as when I ? ^ retired.
