KusnTocm Notttlac Short of * Public Calamity to Loae TUa Opportunity. Com mittee Should Hare a Heart? Re The Bed Hill road committee met al the Chamber of Commerce rooma Ult night. It waa a diatlnct and decided disappolnteat to the com aittee that to lew of the buslneas men and members of the Chamber or Commerce and signers of the pl?0*a responded to the moat urgent appeal that waa aent oat. Thin com mittee haa worked hard, faithfully, and seslously, giving -much of their title without reward or hope of re ward towards raising this money, and they are entitled to much better eupport and co-operation, encourage ment pnh assistance than they have heretofore received. As heretofore stated through the columns of this paper, the -County Commissioners are requiring that the $7600.00 shall be in the form of an absolute guarantee, secured by responsible persona. *nd it was for the purpose of getting this guaran tee signed up for presentation to the Commissioners on Monday morning, June 6th, that this meeting was he'd.

Stewart will wait on thft business men todsy for the pur pose of securing other names. It is to be hoped that this project will not now fall through.

The road tnesna much to the fin ancial and bualneaa Interest of Washington, and now that the build ing of same is in sight, it would be nothing short of a public calamity to lose this opportunity.

Ply month 6 7 name, came to Washing ton yesterday for the purpose of showing the local ball team how to "do the trick" on the diamond. Doubtless today they are a sadder but wiser "bunch" for they left for their homes bearing with them the sad knowledge ? II to 2. If it had not been for carelessness on the part of the home team It would have been a "goose egg" for the visitors. The home twlrlers held the visitors! spell bound with their magic curves all through the game. Haynesworth was the star mound artist for Wash ington and when It was seen that the visitors were not at all danger ous the management allowed Powell to take his place in the box. Powell like Haynesworth was effective. Rivera caught a Superb game be hind the bat and gave encourage ment and cheer to his teammates a'l during the contest. The locals surely have a strong and Invincible Infield In the persons of M In ton at first, Phelps at second. Pickett at third and Powell in short ftfW. Webster played a great field trg game In left field. I The visitors utilised three pltch ors In fen effort to down the locals but all to no avail, for all -three were hammered all over the field. P. Brown, Hobgood and J. tirown used all the tricks In the game to fool the Washington sluggers. "Per haps" If J. Brown hsd been put In the twirling bo* at the start of the game Plymouth might have had a better report to make on going bome. But this la the way of base ball and why should they grieve over spilt milk. The visitors made several rash errors while the home team played almost an errorless game. The contest yesterday van more of a practice game for the home boys. Tha batteries were for the local*: Haynesworth, Powell and Rivers; for Plymouth: P. Brown. Hobgood, J. Brown and Cooper. The umpires were Reg. Fulford and Jas. Davenport. The attendance upon the game was estimated to be about three hundred. **core by innings: Plymouth 00001000 1 ? 2 Washington 30320S10 x ? 1 2 On next Tuesday and Wednesday the locals expect to try conclusions with the team from Kelford. Thurs day they expect to play Aurora and on Friday will endeavor to show, Greenville how to play ball. The management announces that from now on the ladles attending the games will be charged an ad mlsalon of 25 cents which will en title the of to the grounds and grand st and The boya are lacking In fi nances so this step had to be taken hupr ittfc to come out at' least even. I This News understands that at an early day It Is the intention of the mAfH tO give the local team a bene fit This is well and this paper trtutts that the report Is not without 4<randatk>n. Let's help the boys out for there is nothing that advertises ft town more, than a first class base ball team and Washington surely ] has one this seaaon. HUGHES NAttS KKIIl Rooaevelt O. r.'a.
