They Have a Record of .857, as Cdm?" *? puted by the National League, Which is a Very High Average. Now that the baseball season is ! over, we will give a breif account ofsoine of the games played during the summer. It is a well known fact that Kingstree's crack team Kj won twelve out of fourteen games played in this county. While, of ' course, we will not go into thede? tails of every game, we will en deavor to bring out some points m- of interest all along. pi ' The first game of the season was played with the Lake City club, on their ground. Our boys haa been . practicing very little and were hardly in shape to appear upon the field. A picnic was given nenr the grounds of the Lake-Crtians, and to this our team was invited In th#? afternoon the game to??|; 1 here wan lo.n of kicking. for | here r was lots of kicking at the decisions of the umpire, who was not at fault, and the members of Kings tree's club did a gre.-'t part. Quite a number of spectators witnessed the game, and they were all more or less disgusted at the' pow wow1' ' * si Moore was badly hurt. j < among the players, but no one , seemed to be angry. After a long >* _ and uninteresting fight, the game , wa3 won by the Lake-City boys by i t' one run. |( The second game with Lake City | took place some weeks later, on Kingstree soil, and 7 our club was victo rious, the score being 28 to 6. A third 4&T\\ f, , game was to have been played between | the two nines, but when the Kingstree U| ; club took the field no w , batter showed u p for / \ the visitors, and thcfc?~-~-? umpire declared the uinanrt pitched game forfeited to our ?reat $. boys.

'I'li'n r\r irnntP U'pr? nljlVf?d * "V " "-? , against the Black Kiver club, and in every one of them Sm?\ K,nffs,ree 'at^ t\ j 2 came out on top. Three games Iver-% played with / J the Indiantown ~~ nine ? one here and two at Indiantown. In the first Irviii w?? struck, game, which was played here, Kingstree won. It looked as if the visitors would be shut out, but in the fourth inning J. Ervin was struck in the face by a pitched ball from Gilland, and ihe youthful pitcher became wild and allowed nine Q runs to be made w that inningr. About A ^*^7/ two weeks af!er this, our boys, ac- jT/ 7 eompanied by fifty / J rooters." went to Indiantown intend / \ 1 iujrto %ieat 'em up" r/\J The 4,rooiers," f he /j Q horses and vehicles Ij \j were all bedeckedft in the team colors, jinch roou.ig. black and orange, and the team's veils went op often. Much rooting was done, but all to no avail. Our boys were defeated. We lost that came and one rooler was sick AAl. for several days af fter wards. But a day of reckoning came. Our team went tolndiantown again,and this time to win sure. About seventy-five cranks went along this ime. As on the former occasion, a Jne roote-was ill.picnic had been prepared for us by our Indiantown friends and a royal time was had During the game in the afternoon ?verv man did tv iood work and Vk Kingstree won >\ 5p7\ the game.

His record is without a llaw. Kpps was'he star catcher of the elubT and the way lie could throw to bases was a caution.

Elwell, the hsnvy baiter, "stuck il lo Vm ' on third, and many men "died" by his hand. "The old reliable" N Jacobs played short ston. and when a ball came anywhere around, he would surely "kill" it.

Several substitutes were "shoved in" during the season. W II Scotl played three or four games. He was a pitcher, and his curves puzzled the best of ball players. rv Moore was one of the finest catcheis we.had. His only / (rl trouble was that he | l > would come close r T&q| to the batter, and v.,would get stnick with the bat. lie ^ * also suffered from Xapple at short, being hit with a ball thrown from the catcher to second base, while he (Moore) was a base runner, winch caused him to retire from I lie game. Brisfow played 0 first in one or two games, but jcL a n accideir. yaSil caused him to vfl l walk with a i J vJ j stick for i;ev- J ! era! days. He \ "" was often ap //^ V\ plauded by the B ladies who V W know a good & ^ ' plav when Arms *us ever> ...i?g. they don't see it. Martin held down second bag, in the absence of MeClarv. and was termed t"Woffbrd." on account of his excellent .nlays. Monde" Jacobs won the admiration of the specta tors every Moore's only fault, time. "Moritie" Scott was a favorite with all. His special feature was surprising everybodv by his iiood plays. C. J. ^ Lesesne, W. V. Brockinton and G. T. Bullard were among the business men o! the town V who played at times, J J\ \ and Mr. Louis Stackley umpired ^ nearly every game. |l n His decisions always gave general satis 1Ie walk.<'<l w*th p ? a stick. faction, and for that reason 110 player or outsider ever wanted to maul the umpire. Then, too, Mr. Stackley is a man of large propor 1 ' , v % * tions.

"My boy came ltnne home from school one day with his hand badly lacerated and bleeding, and suffering great pain," says Mr. EJ Sehall with Meyers Bros' Drug Co., St. Louis, Mo. "I dressed the wound and applied Chamberlain's Pain Balin freely. All pain ceased, ana in a remarkably short time the wound healed without leaving a scar. For wounds, sprains, swellngs and rheumatism I know of no medicine or prescription equal to it J consider it a household necessity." The 25 find 50 cent sizes for sale by Dr. Wallace. Avoid lhe scolding tone. A tired mother may find it hard to do this; but it is she who will get the most good by observing the rule. The tone of scoldiiag tells upon the throat just where a woman who is not overstrong: is apt. to feel the ache of extreme fatigue. The children, too, whe are great imitators, will be sure to catch the scolding lone, and will talk to their dolls. 4 ? ?l.o. >n<l kw unrl nir tn IU (H1C nilUlllCI, 3IIU ?/J MIIU ?w | their own clt'Ldren, very much as their mothers aie now talking to them. ???
