After consultation with Intendant Coan and others, we have been advised to call a mass meeting of the citizens of Fairfield County o consider the improvement of the public roads of the county. This mass meeting or congress will be held in the court house on Saturday, August 2Sth. It is imDracticable to have delegates elected, because there is no organization to do it, and too much tiice would be wasted in effecting the necessary organization. Every citizen in the county interested in the subject is iuvi ed to come, and every section should be thoroughly represented. The mass meeting can take steps towards forming a permanent organization for the improvement of the roads on such lines and in such manner as it may thinK oe r, AFRICAN A will cure Constipation and is a wonderful Liver ile.iicine.

The wound is not a serious one, a:sd as it seems to have been purely accideutal no arrests have been made.

The Batesburff Game Claimed l>y lioth |_Si'les. Tli* /if? #fcv \ The people of Batesburg and the surrounding country had the pleasure yesterday of witnessing the finest game of ball ever played on our grounds. The team from Winnsboro and our local team were pitted against each other. For four innings the score stocdlto 0 in favor of Winnsboro. On the oppning of the fifth, the Bates bur!? boys struc^ luck and brought in | fonr tnen. Bat Winosboro had to hive her part of the inning. The first luan at the bat, Mr. John Davis, cooly picked out a nice little curve and drove it to left field, away over the pine trees. The result was a horr.e i un. The next three men at the bat managed to reach bases, and the crowd vrere expecting arvmrthincr as El Han<ihan went to the I bat. lie was called on for a home | run. ile wa? very obliging and responded by tapping it over in the cornfield, bringing in three men and making a bo ne run himself. This made it G to i for Winnsboro, and our little boys realized that something mn-t be done. In their half of the six! i ihe? made four runs and then gave Wiunsboroa goose egg as their share. In the eight, Batesburg scored one run and Winnsboro ihree, tieing (he score. In the ninth Batesburg failed to score and the crowd went wild. Winnsboro managed to get two meu on bases with two outs. The next man at tne oat Knocseu me ball to shortstop and was thrown out at first. The man at third came in on ills batted ball, but of course it didn't count. The score stood 9 to 9 and a (f ilth inning should have been played, but Winnsboro refused and the game was given to Batesburg 9 to 0 by the umpire. The game was finely played by both team?. If it had been played on better grounds the score would have been much smaller, as block balls and j lost balls added greatly to the score on both sides. Both pitchers did good work, Jones striking out S and Davis 10. | Thj young men of Winnsboro made a fine impression, both on the ball field and socially. The above account of the game is that given by the Batesburg correspondent of "The State," and some of the members of the local team say that this statement is correct, but there is considerable difference of opinion on the subject. The managerof I't Winnsboro team \ claims the winning nn on the ground j that the b.i-cr referred to above us i having been thrown ont at lirst base | by ^tbe short stop reachcd the ba^ [ safely, and was put out, not by the ! shortstop's throw to first, but because t \ .1 1Inft- I ne (jne runner^ mriicu iu& iv^ j?. j stead of the right alter crossing ibc j bag. lie is backed in hi0 opinion by i some of the members of the team and by several of the spectators who were in a position to ?ee just what occurred. It is at a!) events a very delicate point, and one that will probably never be settled to ihe entire satisfaction of botb teams. The Winnsboro boys are now thor- j nnohiv convinced that tlier can beat j the Batesburg team wiibout the slightest trouble, and they have offered every inducement to secure another f':ime. The Batesburgers are veiv * | ,{.'ijy," however, about giving the. locals ano^i^r chunce and the pros-; pects for another game between the ! two teams is very, very gloomy. The , Batesburg team is, it seems to u?, i morally bound to meet our team ajjain, j and it is limped they will consent to I do so. i Diseases of Women Cure<l.
