MUSIC
THE SEMINOLE' FANS.
1AVE ORGANIZED TO FURNISH
SPORT TOR BATESBURG
BASEBALL LOVERS.
At a meeting of enthusiastic fans
;ome days ago in the Mayor's office,
i base ball club was organized to
urnish sport and amusement for the <
atmmer months. Capt. W. M. Carer
was elected President of the organization,
W. C. Bates, Vice Presiient;
M. W. Perry, Manager, Secetary
and Treasurer; and W. C.
Sates, Chairman Finance Committee.
\ few nights later a "constitution"
vas adopted, and, by unanimous
ote, the club was named "The ,
scmiribles." The name will unInn
bfpfU V Q ftrirt nffor?flA? I -
? ?j v?wv4uvi uv.iv.miv/ii, aiiLi ;
t is hoped the name-sake will find
iubscriptions as easy to get as the 1
>riginal. The Seminoles are dc- 1
ermined to go one better than the
irst holders of that cognomen and
airnish the real article.
The name was propitious and
aroved to be a Billiken at the jump,
For more than enough to buy uniEorms
was raised at this meeting.
Everyone will have a chance to contribute
towards putting the diamond
at the hair Grounds in proper shape.
If given the proper support, the
team will be self-supporting when
the season opens.
There are plans on foot for the
organization of a four circuit association
with Ridge Springs, Johnston,
Trenton and Batesburg. Mr. i
Perry is a hustling manager, and
under his leadership, some such or-!
ganization may be effected.
Local team work will begin in a
few days. The Manager stated he
has some good stuff for a team in
view, and will soon convince the
skeptical that Batcsburg can get up
a team and support it.

"J. W. Livingston, of Columbia,

Southern Railway train No. 8, which
was coming into Batesburg on time
and was in full view of the passengers
waiting at the depot when the
accident occurred.
"Mr. Livingston \va* unconscious
and made no statement before death
about one hour lat t. lie was
brought into town and Dr. W. P.
Timmerman was calle i. but could
not revive the injured man. Train
was in charge of Conductor James
Weaver and Engineer -Alexander.
"No solution has been tound.
Engineer Alexander stated that Mr.
Livingston was walking in the track,
meeting the train. The signals were
made, but instead of getting off the
track the deceased stopped and just
betore the engine struck him turned
around as if to meet the shock.
His legs and one arm were broken
and probably internal injuries were
sustained.
" The deceased once lived at Seneca,
but lately, it is understood, lie
S has been living in Columbia. He
| comes of a well known family, arul
' his wile, who was a Columbia lady,
is prominently connected.
