SCORED TWO TOl'CIIIMlWSS THROW; II SEA OF MI'D. mu - Ossne Wm Marred by Miserable Con? dition of field ? Both Teams Played Valiantly. But High Had Better Modmnnere?Local* Appear to have Fast Back Held. But Weak Line ? Hunter Eleven Put Up Oaaae Fight. News and Courier. The High School eleven got away with a victory at Lake Maroon yester? day, outswlrnmlng the Sumter team by twelve polnta The heavy rains of the morning had converted the College Park leid Into a veritable swamp; in fact, the south half of the field waa six Inches deep In water, and the re? sult may be Imagined. Covered with mud. their garments oosing moisture, and slipping and sliding desperately at every play, the players made their very best stunts look ridiculous. When play was under way in the newly formed lake line plunges looked like miniature geysers, while flying tackles resembled torpedo practice In the United States nary. It was one of the wlerdeat games ever played here. I Just what the teams would have done under other conditions is, of course, problematical. High, however, proved better at the mud-running game, and got away with two touch? downs neither goal being kicked on aoeount of a soggy ball. Poor Judg? ment on the part of the visitors in running plays on the fourth dowu from their 10-yard line gave High a chance to score in the first half, and although both teams held for downs repeatedly, and the punt in; waa nat? urally jocular, High's olt-tackle run? ning Anally prevailed and Capt. Need? le bucked the Sumter line for the first touchdown. As there wan no more scaring in this half the period ended with the score 6?0 in favor of the lo? cals. The second half opened up with stsllar work on the placid bosom of Lake Maroon. As play alotg the north shore was particularly stub? born the teams floundered around In water for about ten mlnues, holding! each other for downs, fumbling and! treading water. However, in the final | period, the locals using the famous, Australian crawl stroke, made beau? tiful headway against the current, and when they Anally climbed ashore ripped up the Sumter tackles for sub? stantial gains. Barshay, Needle, Miles and Simons all tore off respectable runs and Anally, on a fako buck, Sim? mons got loose for an open f eld of 20 yards and the second touchdown. The viaitora played hard bail, quite as hard as the local learn, poor gen? eralship costing them much ground. Hradham, at half, seemed to be the best ground gainer, and with a hard? er field might have done damage to the locals. Brunson was good for healthy gaits through the High line, while Handle, at centre, played a good defensive game, as did Flowers, at left end. DesChamps was quick on fumbles, and, in fact, the entire team worked hard under conditions that might well have discouraged bigger fellows. Summary. Charleston High II. Sumter High 0.

Carnegie Commission Ends Search? ing Inquiry?Story of Misdeeds Do Not Prove so Much Against Bellig? erents as Against War Itself. Paris, Oct. 23.?Troops of all the warring Balkan States committed gross atrocities, according to the evi? dence gathered by the International Carnegie commission in its searching inquiry Just ended. The conclusions of the committee are to be published in book form. One of the noteworthy tasks was the minute examination and verifica? tion by the committee of the famous packet of letters from Greek soldiers captured by the Bulgarians, contain-1 ing horrible directions of how Greek soldiers "avenged themselves" on, Bulgarians who fell into their hands. Other documents testify that the] Greeks occasionally made use of the I forbidden dumdum bullet, and show also the misdeeds of Bulgarians and Other belligerents. The Inquiry did not expend to the Roumanians. The committee collected from avail? able sources. After seeing the officials the committee went to the scenes of alleged atrocities and interrogated at length every class of witness from soldiers who took part in the battles, to women and children who were spectators and victims of the hor? rors. Some of the most important evidence taken by the commlsioners came from children. While it was found that the Bulga? rians had committed the greatest faults, the soldiers of other nations taking part In the war also were guil? ty of many hideous acta In Bulgaria, where the opinion is that Bulgaria has been abominably tieated by the foreign press and where the belligerents are scarcely blamed for their misdeeds, the full? est inquiry was invited and every possible facility for investigation was given to the committee. The commissioners were permitted to examine children and soldiers at will. The Bulgarians in their campaign against the Turks behaved in an ex? emplary manner. It would appear that the Bulgarians, who had borne the brunt of the war againt the Turks were exhausted at its end and thought only of going to their homes immedi? ately. They had been promised this. When they were told that their allies had acted in bad faith and had be? trayed them, the Bulgarian fury burst forth uncontrollably. Turkey also gave the commission every facility for inquiry. The Greeks did likewise, though a certain amount of opposition was encountered in that country. Servla did its utmost to prevent an unhampered investigation, t.nd no in-, qulrles were permitted except in the presence of a Servian military at? tache. Baron D'Estournelles de Content, of the commission, says that "the report will not dwell at great length on the dlalniereating story of misdeeds in the Balkans, which, after all, do not prove so much against the belligerents as against war itself." Tho report will develop fully the economic aspects of the war and will have a good deal to say also about the wonderful possibilities of development which lie before tho Balkan people.

Charleston Law and Order League Plan? to Carry on Its Work in the Open. Charleston, Oct. 23.?The law and i order league has t*vo special propo? sitions to be rounded out now, as the next steps in its campaign of reform. A special committee has been ap? pointed to draft a contsitutlon and by-laws and name officers, and the executive committee is busy on the final report of the evidence placed be? fore the grand jury recently, in a wholesale effort to bring indictments against alleged violators of the liquor, gambling and other laws of the kind.

The year that has just passed has been marked in a peculiar degree by manifestation of His gracious and beneficient providence. We have not only had peace throughout our own borders and with the nations of the world, but that peace has been bright? ened by constantly multiplying, evi? dences of genuine friendship, of mu? tual symapthy and understanding, and of the happy operation of many ele? vating influences both of ideal an3 of practice. "The nation has been prosperous not only, but has proved its capacity j to take calm council amidst the rapid movement of affairs and deal with its' i own life in a spirit of candor, right-1 eousness and comity. We have seen the practical completion of a great work at the Isthmus of Panama which not only exemplifies the nation's abun? dant resources to accomplish what it will and the distinguished skill and capacity of its public servants; also promises the beginning of a new age of new contacts, new neighborhoods, new sympathies, new bonds and new achievements of cooperation and peace. " 'Righteousness exalteth a nation* and 'peace on earth, good will to? wards men* furnish the only founda? tions upon which can be built the last? ing achievements of the human spirit. The year has brought us the satisfac? tion of work well done and fresh visions of our duty which will make the work of the future better still. "Now, therefore, I WoDdrow Wil? son, president of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thurs? day, the 27th of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer and invite the people throughout the land to cease from their wonted occupa? tions and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks to Almighty God.

Five Men Sold Ranges and Were Tried and Sentenced to Pay Fine for Operating Without a License. Bennettsville, Oct. 23.?Judge Frank R Gary, who presided at the last term of the criminal court In this county, has filed a decision that is doubtless of interest to every coun? ty in the State. Five representatives of the Never Break Range Company were tried before Magistrate Gibson last Janu? ary for seling ranges in this county without a license. They were found guilty and a sentence of $40 each was imposed. The appeal was taaken, and Judge Gary sustains the findings of the magistrate court and sends the case back for enforcement of the sen? tence. These agents came to Marlboro county about January 1 and began their business. A carload of ranges was shipped to Bennettsville, arriv? ing here about January 19, and were never taken from the car, but storage was paid up to January 25. The first order that was taken was January 4, and orders were taken or sales made from time to time up to the 15th or 16, a warrant being taken out on January 18. The warehouse receipt obtained by summoning the railroad agent as a witness showed that the carload of stoves was delivered to the Atlantic Coast Line at Chatta noga. Tenn., on January 6. The place of business of the range com? pany was at Blllville, about 1ft milee from St. Louis. The defense t-et :P was that these parties were not fuw kers and peddlers, and further that they were protected under the Inter? state commerce laws Judge Gary's decision is to the ef? fect that these people having no estab? lished place of business in this State, and there being no evidence of a transaction between the residents of this county and the home office of the corporation at Blllville, they are not entitled to the protection of the Inter? state commerce laws, for it Is not a transaction between the cltirens of I the two States. He also holds that {the parties are hawkers and peddlers, and says their business can be classed only as euch. When the parties were arrested they came into court and presented an opinion or brief by the counsel of their company, and when the party in charge of the force here went upon the stand he testified as to what his duties were, saying, among other thli.ga, that he was to put agents in the field to solicit orders, and that he was to forward these orders to the home office, and that these or? ders were to be there filled end sent here to be delivered to the citizens of this State. He did no, howsvsr. state that the orders covering the ranges sold in this county were first sent to his home office and there fill? ed, and then sent here for delivery, ami the facts of the case show that he had not done so. The case has not yet been taken to the supreme court, but if Judge Gary is correct in this instance it will enable the counties of the State to collect the hawkers' and peddlers' license from parties doing business as theee people were doing it.
