PICNIC AT STATE FARM. The Marlboro Colony in Sumter Coun? ty Delightfully Entertained. Thursday the Marlboro colony in Sumter County met at the State Farm and enjoyed with their invited guest a delightful picnic. There were more than eighty people present. Superin? tendent Morris and Mr. J. L. Irby acted as master of ceremony, and con? ducted the visitors over the well-kept farm, and took particular pains to show them everything of interest. The picnic was held in a shady grove beside a beautiful stream, from whose waters an enormous quantity of fresh fish had been caught for the occasion. The eloquent spread was greatly enjoyed. Hon. J. P. Gibson, of Marlboro, was the speaker of the occasion, and he delivered a splendid oration. Dr. Breeden, of Sumter, presided as toastmaster, and introduced the fol? lowing speakers: Messrs. Geo. W. Dick. John H. Clifton, Walter G. Stubbs, H. L. B. Wells, H. A. Moses, J. M. Woodley, E. E. Rembert, L. R. Williamson, W. A. Seale, Thomas Evans, T. O. Sanders, J. L. Irby and H. T. Edens. The day was very mach enjoyed, every one voting it a delightful occa? sion, and expressing a desire to return next year. The Camden baseball fans have a great deal to say about unfair umpiring and game stealing by other teams- in other rowns. While it is impossible to say what has been done in other places than Sumter in the line of game stealing, the writer knows that the effort has been made here^ to give every team a fair deal and to secure the services of disinterested and absolutely impartial umpires. There are three games to be played here next week with Camden and three the following week in Camden by the Sumter team, and it will be perfectly satisfactory to Sumter peo? ple if Camden can arrange to have Mr. M. L. Smith umpire all six games. Snifter people have never wanted anything but a fair deal and this Mr. Smith gave them in the games he umpired. He was not put out of the umpire's position in Cam? den on Sumter's protest-in fact it was over Sumter's protest that anoth? er umpire was substituted. If Mendal Smith will umpire all the games be? tween Camden and Sumter, the,Sumter baseball crowd will 'take whatever medicine the Camden team is able to administer and will not go about cry? ing over it either. If that is not a fair proposition what does Camden want? A TRIBUTE. The grim reaper has again visited the decimated ranks of old Company "D," Second South Carolina Volun? teers. That gallant veteran soldier of the sixties, Lawrence M. Rembert has taken his departure to that unknown country. His furlough on earth had expired. He has gone tp re-join that incomparable army of gray beyond the river. It was my good fortune to have been with thl3 brave soldier in the four years' bloody struggle. I can'say with all candor, .that a better soldier never rammed a cartridge down a rifle or pulled a trigger, than comrade Law? rence M. Rembert. Unscathed by, shot and shell, he passed o'er many a gory fieid. He fought and cheered, following the tattered flag that bore the starry cross, which he loved so well. That flag is folded now, and the good soldier sleeps his last sleep, with his arms folded across his brave, but silent heart. He has left to his chil? dren a priceless legacy, far more to be valued than gold. May loving hands plant roses over his new made grave, when in spring and summer time their fragrant petals may silently drop upon the honored mound of this val? iant v?t?ran soldier. S. J. BOWMAN.
