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.

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?
' Thirk i:; MiMions.
* The first game of baseb.il' played
in this country to which admission
wps charged took place at the old
Fashion Race Course, near Jamaica.
' L. I., on April 20. 1<S5H. between the
New vork and Brooklyn clubs of the
then National Association of Basoba'1
Pavers. A few thousands filtered
through the prates. 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.
Consider all the pames played during
the season by the 174 clubs of
the 24 professional leap,"lies* ii^ the
country. Consider the . .semi-professional

SALESTOPPED
BY INJUNCTION
There was no sale of the. brick building
at Ay nor, owned by Dr. S. J. 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.

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 ' - ? O
gasoline were consumed by automobiles
in 1922, and GO per cent of the
total car mileage was used entirely for
business purposes, while 90 per cent
ness side of it.
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!"

Boston Woman Recom
mending It to Her
Friends.
Popular Boston Lady 8ays Prunitono Has
Pro?on a OodMnd to Har.
It is always interesting- to listen to
the statements of our friends, and especially
when you know they are sincere
and honest in what they say. 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. About two weeks ago I beganMR'
to take Prunitone, and I can truthfully^F
state that it has done wonders in my
aase. I am feeling like a new woman,
and can eat any kind of food. I sleep
the night through and I have no more
aches or pains;; fn fact, ft has cured
me, and I am recommending it to a!!
of my friends, as it has been a Goii-^%1,
.send to me."
Piatt's Pharmacy, Conway, S. C.
and Harrelson's Pharmacy, Tabor, N.
C., sell and guarantee Prunitone.
There are numerous symptoms of
this trouble that Prunitone can relieve.
In fact, any off the following may donote
affections of the stomach: Indigestion,
dyspepsia, belching of wind,
bad breath, sick throbbing headache,
poor circulation, night sweats, that
tired feeling, costiveness, coated to?*.gue
or a poor complexion.
Caution: As Prunitone is recommended
as a flesh builder, those not
wishing to increase their weight 15
pounds, or more, should not tak* it
luminously. ftlv.
