Manning is State Champions. S
The Manning base ball team left pla
here Monday of last week for Fountain aue
Inn, where they played a series of six and
games to see which team could claim hat
the amateur championship of the State.
Our home boys brought the bacon lad
home, winning four sud losing two' Hu;
The writer accompanied the team on Cle
this trip, which is a tiresome ride. The J
train was one hour late, and the boys son
were compelled to put on their uni- J H
forms on the train, not arriving until Jos
after four o'clock, they were rushed F
out to the park. and play was called in C -
a fcw minutes. The diamond was vet-v S, L
fast, thus causing our boys to make ra
seeral errors, bitt they soon got ac- F
customed to it, and after losing the Stol
first, took their opponents to ride for Ho
three straights, then lost Friday's con- \Vi
test, but on Saturday canme back and .
von again, making the series four won wie,
two lost. The Fountain Inn people are C
te most hospitable-.we have ever came Ole
in contact with, trying at all times to ,
make their guests enjoy their stay, old
which they succecded in doing far . Th~
above expectations. The Manning jTi
team appreciated the treatment of G
these people and are h:gh in their com Hoi
mendation of such treatment. The N E
gaes of this beautiful little city- were P(
thrown wide open to us. The Fountain S
Inn boys are good loses and gave us tile
the same good treatmeit when they Bri
lost as when they won. '. e team re- Fel

here this week. Manning winning Mlc

the dispute threatening a nation-wide

NEW SHIPPING BILL
WILSON ADMINISTRATION SUC
CEEDS AFTER HARD LEGISLA
TIVE STRUGGLE.
SENATE VOTE WAS 38 TO 21
Several Important Amendments Are
Agreed to.-Bill Has Already Passed
House and Will Very Likely Find no
Opposition in House to Amendments.
Washington.-The government ship
ping bill passed the Senate by a vote
of 38 to 21, ending one of the most
bitterly contested legislative strug
gles of the Wilson administration. In
the last Congress the measure precipi
tated a Democratic revolt and a fili
buster which forced postponement of
many important bills, but revised so
as to minimize the government opera
tion feature, received unanimous Dem
ocratic support and solid Republican
opposition. It already had passed the
House.
The shipping bill provides for cre
ation of a government shipping board
to acquire and operate ships for re
habilitation of the American merchant
marine and appropriates $50,000,000
for the purpose to be raised by the sale
of Panama Canal bonds.
Several important amendments
were agreed to just before the final -
vote, among them one which would
reduce the salary of the shipping
board members from $10,000 to $7,500
a year. Other amendments passed in- i
clude one which would authorize the
president to seek adjustment of foreign
discrimination against American ship
ping through diplomatic negotiations (
and to take retaliatory action if such ups
negotiations fail. Another would drc
authorize the treasury to withhold thz
clearance from masters of vessels who tha
deliberately refuse to accept freight 015
from American citizens without satis- boc
factory reasons. toll
