The Press anfl. Banner fti-Published every Wednesday at S2 year In advance. Wednesday, July 24, 1889. John Yeldell in PlttMburj;. John Yeltiell, colored, of Edgefield, who, with others, Is charged with the murder of Blackwell, white, in Edgefield, has been arin Pittsbure. under the name of Rev. E. F. Flernoc. The Governor of this Stato has made a requisition for him. Strong efforts are oelng made in Pittsburg. to prevent his return to Edgeflld for trial. Each of the Jive morning papers, under "horseheads," devote inuoh space to the affair, and in describing the Incidents connected with the arrest. jt seems that the sympathies of the people of that city are greatly aroused in behalf of the prisoner. The following brief paragraphs from the Pittsburg Timet, taken out a great mass of papers, will, we presume, give at least an idea of the situation: "J. D. Hasklns, Chairman of the committee of 13 on the Flemon case, yesterday said the body which he represented would have SI,000 to-day If necessary to assist the defendant. Early yesterday morning he telegraphed on behalf of the committee to one of the leading Arms of Charleston, s. C., to undertake the defence of Flemon should he come to trial In that State, and an affirmative answer was received last night. Mr. Haskins said it would not be politic to give the name of the firm, as, should Its service not be required, it would be subjected to a boycott, if not worse. Three members of the committee will go to Charleston to make the flnal arrangements." Subscription lists were circulated throughout theclty to raise mone.? for the defense of Yeldell, In case he was brougat back to South Carolina for trial. In its own behalf the Pittsburg Times published the follovAng card last Saturday morning: "The Pittsburg Times will guarantee, in accordance with the foregoing, the expenses of narpvlne the E F. Flemon case to and through the Supreme Coart of Pennsylvania Those who desire to share In giving a black man u white man's chance lor his life are welcome, though not absolutely necessary, t. ... The Pittsburg Times, W. H. Seif, Treasurer."' "At the end of the address Mr. Dalzell said the story was a decidedly startling one and put a very different phase on the mattor. He thought sufficient blood bad been shed to atone for that one life. If Fiemon's counsel would reduce the statement to writing he would visit Washington, and with Senator Cameron, lay the petition before the President and Attorney General, asking that the proper steps be taken by the Department of Justice to secure a change of venue and sucb other relief as the government can lawrully bestow. "The Rev. Mr. Holllday said the trouble was not in getting able and honest lawyers and Judges in South Carolina, but the pubiie sentiment of white men influenced Juries where a colored man was on trial so much that the negro had no fair chance. "Mr. McKenna said last night that letters and dispatches were coming in from all over the country Expressing sympathy and offering assistance, If necessary, in procuring Flemon a fair trial." We have nothing at all to say of the merits of the case which will he brought into court, i We know absolutely nothing as to Rev. E. F. Fiemon's or John Yeldell's guilt qr Innocence of the crime whereof he stands charged. But what we wish to remark upon Is the misapprehension under which Mr. J. D. Haskins is laboring. He is chairman of a "committee, of thirteen" to look to Yeldell's Interest. I * ? *kt*1 In anaablna nf FlamAn^E I .fHUOUIt UlLiC. WI.U?D> ? defense, be makes use of these words: ,'It would not be politicto give the name of "the [law] firm, as, should Its services not be ' required, It would be subject to a boycott, If not worse." Mr. W. C. Benet of our Bar, defended two of Flemon's associates, and tbey were acquitted. It Is reported that Mr. Benet will defend Flemon or Yeldell, when he comes back. Mr. Benet has not been boycotted, and will not be boycotted. He has not been intimidated In defending negroes, and he will not be Intimidated in his professional duties. The very weakness of these poor, ignorant and penniless creatures in defending themselves against the great State of South Carolina, not only awakens his deepest symtbies, but calls for the exercise of the great powers of a rearless and independent lawyer, who will do bis whole duty, under all circumstances. There Is not n lawyer in all of Pennsylvania, who would, or could, more zealously or more ably defend Rev. E. F. Flemon or John Yeldell than will Mr. Benet. If Mr. Hasklns bas any doubt as to who Mr. Benet Is, we would tell him, that he is a Scotchman by birth, who came to Abbeville twenty years ago. Several years ago he married a member of one of the oldest and most Influential families In South Carolina. His education and literary training are equal to anybody's. We can best tell in what esteem he is held by our people, In saying that be was Dero. ocratlc Presidential Elector for this State in 1884, and that last year in his first race for the Legislature, he received the largest vote whioh has ever been given in this county to any man. This, too, -with the fulj knowledge that he had perhaps saved more . negroes from the gallows than any other lawyer in the State. Are not these facts enough to satisfy Pitts, burg that Rev. E. F. Flemons will be not only ably and fearlessly defended, but that there is here no disposition on the part of the people to boycott a gentleman for defending a poor friendless negro? If It were neccessary to say more as to Mr. Benet'8 standing with the people of South Carolina, and if it were necessary to defend the people of this Commonwealth from the charge of a disposition to boycott a lawyer for deiendlng a negro, or negrosc, it would be only necessary to say that last year the State of South Carolina, from the mountains to the sea, was agitated on the subject of establishing an! agricultural college. Although it was Mr. Benet's first term in the Legislature, he was chosen, as if by common consent, to champion the cause of the farmers in their demand for the college. He was victor. Is there anything in either clrcumstanco to point to a boycott of Mr. Benet? Now, we admire the noble spirit which Mr, Haskins and his associates have manifested in this matter. It is brave and manly to espouse the cause of the weak ; nor is this magnanimity monopolized by Pittsburg or Pennsylvania. It Is a fact that when Fiemon's (or Yeldell's) associates were tried, Mr. Benet was employed to defend tbem, and his feepaid, not by the negroes, nor by the Republicans, but by two Democratic glentletnen of Edgefield County, who were actuated by the same generous spirit that moves the people of Pittsburg, and with no more hope of recompense than have the "Committee of Thirteen." If they would come to South Carollnr, they would soon be convinced that tho negro gets absolute justice In this State. We believe {hat in our court, while men are too often acquitted of crimes for which they should be severely punished, but we as firmly believe that neeroes accused of crime are not unjustly convicted ip our courts. Blowing the Town. We have heard some comment on our article of last week in .which we took a more hopeful view of the future of Abbeville. That article only reflected the sentiment which we had heard on the streets. When we hear capitalists and shrewd business men ' t ilk of buying lands in the Incorporate limltB, and houses on the public square, for speculative purposes we are obliged to believe that there is a better feeling among our people as to the possibilities of Abbeville. When we know of families coming here, and when we hear of investers from distant parts looking after our most desirable real estate, we are further inclined to the opinion that the advantages which Abbeville presents artbeing appreciated abroad. The new railroad that is destined to bo one of the most imporl tant highways In the State will bring Abboyille to the front, when all her pussitiiliiy<-s MMMaOMHMBMiaHMBMnMI may be developed by the proper effort. Abbeville, after the railroad Is built, will be just what our people make it?and no more. A portion of our people are doing all that it is possible for tbem to do to build up the town, but from the natureof things, there are a number of our citizens without constant and regular employment. There is but little doing in their special lines of trade, and they must adapt themselves to the circumstances and facts which confront them. The times change, and we must change with them. The new railroad will put no money into any idler's pocket. It may furnish work, or be the means of giving employment to our people, and thus indirectly benefit them. Are we doing all that we can to bring money to Abbeville, and to our individual pockets? Let us sec. We have been in Abbeville for many years, and if in that time there has ever been a full supply of brick, we do not now recollect the fact. When we need brick, we often have to send off for them, or tear down somebody's chimney, or dig up somebody's cellar. Can't we make brick? We have clay, water, wood, and elbow grease enough to make sufficient brick to build a Chinese wall around the town. With the best brick clay in the world, and an abundance of wood, water, and labor, we ought to be able to ship brick to the four quarters of the earth. If we had v spoke and hub factory, employ. ment could be given to maDy hands, and a good market cculd be furnished for such o* our citizens as hi ve woods for sale. We have some of the best mechanics to be found anywhere. If they would form a company they could borrow all the money that might be necessary to put the machinery iii motion. In the sale of their goods money would be brought from distance to mako our people prosperous and to enrich the town. The new oil company are erecting a much needed mill. Besides benefiting the farmers employment will be given to laborers, and in the sale of their products, tho capitalists will be enriched by sales to foreign buyers. Look at thiw Paper. "A mad marriage; or, tho Hoiress of Lawrence Park," is the title of a continued story of absorbing interest, the first chapter of which appears this week. We trust that every subscriber may read the opening chapters, and thus be enable to judge of the merits of the story, when it is finished. A continued story will henceforth bean in. terestlng feature of the Press and Banner. The present make-up of our "patent in_ side" is not inferior to any paper of our ac. qualntance.but we hope to make it still more interpsiinfy bv addlne the "Internationa! Sunday School Lessons." In order to make room for the continued story, and the Sunday School Lessons, the base ball paragraphs, the New York markets, the newsy paragraphs, and the budget of fun, have been discontinued. We think our readers will agree with us in.the opinion that this change is vastly to the benefit of the reader. Talmage's sermon, Sunday Reading, the Temperance Department, Household Matters' Agricultural Department, Woman's World, Household Topics, Short Stories, an extended variety of News Items. Poetry, Miscellany, and other interesting and attractive matter will remain unchanged on the patent slde) and we will continue to present to the reader the largest amount of matter which for interest and variety has never been surpassed by any newspaper. Of the home-printed side of the paper we will not speak in particular, but in a genera* way would say, that we intend in the future, as in the past to direct our energies almost entirely to printing matters of a local nature. The Government of the United States, no less than foreign nations,can as a rule take care of themselves. While we may occasionally say something of the affairs generally, yet our chief aim will be to answer the public demand of Abbeville county, for local news, or other matters in which our people are chiefly interested?not least of which is the material prosperity of the farms of the country. Here's an "Old Shoe*' at Edward A. Oldham. Mr. Edward A. Oldham, a talented and progressive member of the World Budge Co., of Charleston, has withdrawn Irom that paper to go to the city of Durham, North Caroiinat for the purpose of establishing a dally newspaper on his own account, the "Globe." After having conducted the World with fairness, ability and untiring energy, He leaves South Carolina Journalism with the best wishes of the fraternity. In the words of another: For nearly a year past Mr. Oldham has been editor-in-chief of the Daily World and the Sunday Budget, both published by one company at Charleston, S. C. His able editorials, voicing the same broad and liberal views that have so characterized all of his previous editorial efforts, have placed the Wortd high up in the estimation of the leading journals of the country. Tn TlanomKcr 1KSU Mr, Oldham WftK married In Norfolk, Va. His wife is Margaret Andrews Oldham, who has poetical and literary gifts of a high order, ana whose poems In the New York Sun have attracted wide attention and havo been reproduced in hundreds of papers throughout the country. She contributes both prose and poetry to numerous other periodicals, among them being the New York World, Youth's Companion, Cartoon, Time (formerly THd-Bits,) Woman, Dress, Universal Magazine, etc. Goodbye. The editor of the Press and Banner will be absent for several days. He will leave to-day or to morrow, without any definite purpose, except to get a rest. Nome Reason* for Taking a Newspaper. When the desire to receive mall matter Is almost universal, and when the citizen feels a degree of humiliation at being told that there is no mail mister for him, is it not strange that, so many people fail to subscribe for a newspaper ? Newspapers can be had by the year, from one dollar up to the higher priced papersdaily or weekly, and it would seem that, if neither the citizen nor his family received i any benefit at all from a newspaper, that he 1 would subscribe for a paper of some sort, rather than subject himself to the mortlllcation of being told dozens of times that he had I no mail. Every citizen in this country should either go or send to the postoffice once a week, and no citizen is too poor to take a newspaper. Abbeville county has been regarded as one of the most Intelligent counties in the State, ! and while there are many white citizens who take a number of newspapers, yet there are, 1 as a matter of fact, some white families in which 110 newspaper is taken. We presume i that the stronger in contemplating the character of our people, would be slow to believe that any white family in Abbeville county was denied the benefit of a newspaper, yet the fact is susceptible of nroof that there are a large per cent, who do not subscribe for any newspaper. < On the hand, let us look to the facts In regard to the colored people. Wo think It a notorious fact that the colored people make ! twice as many calls at tlie postollicc at Abbeville as do the white people. We believe that the eolored people are answered about ninetynine times out of a hundred with, "Nothing for you." While there is not a white man on the face of the earth who does not experience something of a disappointment at getting no mail, the colored man's mortification and disappointment is so great that he is ready to accuse the postmaster of keeping back his letters. To save all such disappointments, if for no other or higher reason, let every man subscribe for a newspaper of some sort." For such citizens as are unable to take the local papers, a good paper may be had from a distance for seventy-five cents or a dollar a year. At Abbeville there arc some twelve or fifteen colored men who take perhaps twenty papers. Isn't that an exceedingly poor showing ? Can any people ever attain any considerable degree of in telligcnco who do not take newspapers ? If we arc to judee every community of col- ( ored people by Abbeville village, we think it might be sent down as a fact, that they take almost no newspapers. Small Railroad Joke. Latirens Advertiser.

At Lowndesvllle, Cedar Springs aud at Bradley every one spoke In tlatterlng terms of the paper. It 6eems that the JPres* and Banner is on a boom and has the good graces of every one. "The besl county paper In the State'' is the common expression. Mr. Hillery Devlin, of Verdery, was in town last Monday. He is always welcome. We have been about oyer the county recently, and think the crop prospects especially fine. If seasons from now on can be had a large yield will be secured. Dr. Grler has been elected President of the Teachers State Institute. A worthy selection. We hope every delegate appointed will attend the meeting of the Bible Society ou 31st of July. We ought to have the largest representation present we have had as a number of societies have been organized. Prof. Hood recently delivered the anniversary address at Prof. S. P. McElroy's school at MofTatsvllle, Anderson county. Tlio exercises consumed two days consisting of declamations, recitations, plays, songs, and piano music. The examination occupied the first day followed by Prof. Hood's address that evening. Which was an able effort of about fifty minutes. Every one was delighted with it. Prof. McElroy is doing a fine work in this community and is very popular with the people, they have secured his services for another year. He had enrolled 99 scholars. Miss Leona Blake, of Greenwood was his able assistant 'in music. 1,500 people attended the exhibition. The patrons intend to build a new school house and will raise Prof. McElroy's salary. Prof. Hood was accompanied by Mrs. Williams. They were delighted with their trip. K. S. G. Due West, S. C., July 22, 1889. Saturday the 18th of July was a grand day at Shlloh. It was Children's Day. When we arrived the whole grove and surrounding were alive with buggies, carriages and wagons. It looked like commencement day in Due West. We have never seen as large an audience at a country church. The house and gallery would not near hold the people. Four Sabbath Schools were represented. These formed In the grove and marched into tnecnurcn, carrying uttuucio uu ?unu nwo inscribed appropriate Sabbath School mottoes. Kev. A. Frank Berry is the wide awake pastor of this people. He was master of ceremonies and announced a grand anthem by the choir of which Prof. Willis, of Anderson was the skillful leader. Prof. Willis has a very fine voice. Rev. W. M. (irier, D. D., led in prayer. Rev. Smith Martin was introduced as the lirst speaker and made an excellent address and was well received. The occasion was interspersed with music and exercises by the children. A dialogue on the Bible was an appropriate feature particiCated in by seven little girls and seven little oys. Prof, W. C. Bell was next introduced by the Chairman as one who had grown up in their midst. Mr. Bell made an interesting address recel vi ng the close attention of the house, fie spoke in a most earnest way. Judee JLyon, of Abbeville, was the next orator. The Judge paid his respects to Killraln and Sullivan in handsome style. If all those who witnessed the fight had heard these remarks they might have a less opinion of themselves. Judge Lyon is a solid speaker and knows how to put his points. Rev. Berry now announced dinner and a recess of two hours. It was our privilege to accept an invitation to the well spread table ot Dr. Bell and the Superintendant Mr. Harkness.

Galloway was introduced as the tlrst speaker. Atter music ana a solo by Prof. Willis. Rev. Beatty, pastor of the Abbeville Methodist Church was announced and spoke for forty minutes to the children spicing his remarks with fun and anecdote. He was closely followed by the audience. The closing speech was made by Dr. W. M. Grier. he though not on the programme responded most appropriately and neatly. This closed the anniversary of the children a most pleasant occasion it was. Shiloh has the resources and the material to make a splendid congregation and should have the whole time of a pastor. Muny young people are growing up in this thickly settled congregation. I.0WNDESV1LLE. In company with Dr. Grier we pushed ou Saturday evening from Shiloh to Lowndesville. Dr. Grier stopped as the guesl of Mr. T. Raker, at his elegant new home, furnished in handsome style. We rode out to the house of our kinsman, Mr. B. C. Kay and received a warm welcome. Mr. Kay has made many improvements since we were last with him. He has the greatest variety of all kinds of fruits around him and is giving it special attention. We pronounce some of his grapes and peaches especially fine. On Sabbath Dr. Grier preached to a largo congregation in the Methodist church, one of bis best sermons. Every one was delighted with the sermon. A Bible Society was then organized with thirty-three members and a full corps of officers elected. Much interest was manifestedThfl RihlorlAnnclfArv will ma nlnr?Pr1 in t.ho drug store of Mr. J. B. Franks?an elegant selection. We enjoyed most excellent dinner at the hospitable home of Mr. James Baker and met his charming wife and also a Miss Adams, a cousin from Augusta. We were glad to meetourfriend'Troupe" of the Press and Banner, who keeps us so well posted on the dots from the "Hill City." Lowndesvllle has made many Improvements since we were lust there. The railroad has done wonder for this place and section. We were sorry our limited time did not allow us to see more of these improvements. One of the most noted Is the handsome double brick stores just built andoccupied by Messrs. Baker, Matthews & Co., in a genuine line and who are very large dealers, and also by Mr. J. B. Franks In the drug line. This is an eleeant building and an ornament to the town. We only had time to peep into it a moment. We enjoyed the session of the Methodist Sabbath School conducted by our friends Mr. T. M. Latimer, who is the excellent Superintendent. We had accepted a previous invitation and so spent the uight at our worthy friend Dr. Grler. The hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Bell Is proverbial and so we were royally entertained. Monday morning found us saying good bye, and we were soon landod safe at home after a most pleasant trip. CEDAK SPRINGS. Missionary and Bible meeting at Cedar Springs. We received an invitation to be present at Cedar Springs on the 18tli. In company with Miss Ida and Miss Minnie Devlin behind a good stepper. We left Due West, Wednesday evening at 2 o'clock. The crops on the route were looking well. The corn on Long CaneMessrs. Gus Smith's, Hillery Devlin's and Wm. Devlin's, was splendid and looking nearly as well as my own on Park's creek, near Due West We noticed that a large amount of upland corn Is planted this year. Sundown lauded us at Dr. Sloan's and a uv.lmiinotr'ic rd/>nlv?*rl 1 in otwl \f cl> Sloxu are genial hosts and it is a great pleasure to share their cordial hospitality. They have an elegant home, surrounded with the conveniences of life, along with ruany of its delicacies. Their adopted son, Mr. David Kccr, has built a ueat new house just in sight of the Doctor's and lias a pretty and accomplished ludy to preside over it?nee Miss Nina I'u rd y. Next morning a fine audicnce assembled at Cedar Springs church to enjoy the exercises of the day. These consisted of three addresses and one sermon. Dr. Sloan introduced as first on the programme It. S. Galloway, of Due West, who talked on Missions. The exercises were most appropriately interspersed with stirring, heart soul music, consisting of anthems and selections. Profs. Wideman and Watson were the skilled leaders. Wo were particularly struck by the splendid voice of Mrs. J. B. Donner, Her rendition of one or two solo parts was excellent. Dr. Sloan now introduced most happily Mr. W. W. Bradley, of Troy, as "our boy." The Doctor said, "I married his mother and father, and his grand-mother and grand-father. If some of the ladies in the audience had the speaking to do I might have him to marry." Mr. Bradley spoke upon the Bible in a handsome and interesting way. We humbly suggest tnat Mr. Bradley's field is the ministry and we sincerely hope he will give it his earnest consideration before deciding tills all important matter. Dr. .Sloan now most appropriately introduced Mr. L. W. White, of Abbeville, as the third speaker. Mr. White spoke upon Missions. He especially eombatted the idea that "Missions are a failure." Mr. White had put much care and research upon his subject and ' ' '. .. J: bad a most Interesting discourse that was^ well received by all. Dr. Sloan now annouoced a recess for one hour and a half. The audience was invited to tables that were spread In the rear of the church that groimed beneath the land of cakes, pies, chickens, salads, apples, poaches, grapes, melons, &c. A number of young peoplo of the congregation had been appointed especially to wait on the tables, and they did it in handsome manner. Cedar Springs knows how to do up things in style. The afternoon was devoted to the sermon by Rev. Beaty, of Abbeville. Mr. Beaty is a young man of much promise. He speaks with force and breadth of thought. His sermon on this occasion was appropriate and splendidly received. We are glad to have made Mr. Beaty's acquaintance and esteem him as a Christian gentleman. Good collections were taken up both for Missions and for the Bible Society. Delegations were present lrom Abbeville, Troy, Bradley and Verdery. A hoarty vote of thanks was extended the speakers by tne audience and a most pleasant, and we tjust profitable meeting came to a close. Through the kindness of our friend Judge Watson, we were taken out to Bradley, Friday night and spent a most gleasant night. Bradley is a nice little town of five stores and some nice dwellings. Judge Watson has a beautiful home, just improved in latest style will all modern conveniences. He has about 1,500 acres of land in one body that runs right up to the town and his dwelling fronts the streets and railroad, with pastures running up to his back gate. He has a large two story store building and docs a fine mercantile business, runs saw mills, cotton gins, <tc. The Judge is a pushing man and puts a great deal or business through his hands. Next morning our kind lrlend Mr. Livy Watson brought our party, in elegant style in his phaeton up to Dr. Sloan's. We boarded our own conveyance and reached home at 12 o'clock. As we pasted with these kind trlcnds wo promised, if possible to take Mrs. G down this summer and spend a week in this section. Cedar Springs and Long Cane are the parent church?the moth?from which has sprung Mt. Carmel church, Troy, Bradley and soon McCormick church. What if her strength is somewhat weaken she has a splendid record, and Dr. Sloan is to be congratulated on the encouragement of this mission spirit. Not all ministers would do It. R. S.

Daniel's place) several days ago the call showed signs of hydrophobia and, was killed, The little negro died on Friday. There was a celebration at Selleck Wrleht's school last Saturday, near the Depot. They had a big time. I neglected to state in my last woek's report, that at the close of Dr. Grier's sermon last Sunday he brought to the attention of bis congregation the interests of tbe American Bibfe Society. A branch society of near forty members was formed. Mr. John M. Moseley President, and Mr. J.,B. LeRoy Vice President. Mr. J.

Good Crops and Plenty of Money. Mt. Cakmxl, S. C., July 22,1S89. The weather is warm and dry, and the rains seem to be giving ur the go by Jnst at present Crops, however, are doing well as yet. I heard several srood men complimenting the Editor of the Press and Banner, also his paper. They said "The Editor ranked among the first and best in. the state, and undoubtedly published the best County paper in the state," and one of them said he believed the Editor would fill -with marked ability tha Ed itorship of tho N ews and Courier. Now Mr. Editor, these were honest praises, and as I know you are used to such, compliments, I don't inlud telling you. Big basket piaiic at Calhouns Mills last Saturday. Miss Fannie Lawson, one of Abbeville's most accomplished and charming young ladies, escorted by a handsome young gentleman of Abbovllle, attended the picnic last Saturday. The "Pink Tea," given by the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. Church, was a delightful affair. Tho prevailing color of the evening seemed to be pink?Receipts about SID. Watermelons arc plentiful, with fair demand, at reasonable figures. Miss Ellen Link, now of Abbeville, is visiting frlenids and relatives in this section. Among the visitors present at the "Pink tea" were Mr. and Mrs. Irvln, of McCormick, Mr. and Mrs. Dickson, of Hester, Miss Emma Riley, of Wain at Grove, and our friend R, \V. Colyer now of Lowndesville. Our town has had a large number of visitors this season, and If it was known abroad, as at home, as one of the finest "health resorts" in the State, it would be crowded all the Summer with persons in search of health and salubrious climate. Let health seekers give our town a trial and they will find it even so. Good crops and plenty of money will put our town on a boom this fall. Already we hear the buzz of the saw, and the clatter ol the hammer. Dr. T. J. Hester hate lost a goodly number1 o'. his fine Wyandotte chickens. It would seem from this that some other parties were going, or had gone into the poultry business. The result of the engagement was a trial?found guilty?aline of $12 .and return of two line chicks.

They are In fine trim and nicely trained. It is much regretted that right fielder McDavld cannot go but Ills place is well filled. The club goes under the management of Mr. W. 8. Montgomery, who Is a first class base ballist, and we feel that the boys are c.nder safe and efficient manage-' ment, and the boys will be taken tbroogb. Pitcher Campbell, of Columbia, arrived in < the city Thursday and has been amusing tbe boys with his fine playing. Campbell is a young man but sbowB up to bo a first class amatuer. The club Is formed as follows: Battery Campbell and Reynolds, 1st bcise P. McKellar, 2nd base Klnard, 3rd b:ise Greene, Rlgh t field E. T. McKellar, Center field Young, f Left field Tarrant, ' -j ' Short stop Moore. The boys crossed bats with the "Rattlers" on Friday afternoon. The "Rattlers" do not charge the base ball public ary thing to see them get beat, In fact we do not think they would like It to be otherwise as ltis loo great a transition. We feel confident that tbe boys will sustain their old record at this passage of arms and Greenwood will await the result with high expectations. We are glad to mention the convalescing condition of Master Sammle McGhee wbo has been sick.for sometime and hope be will soon be out again. Dr. B. F. Duckett. of Dakota, a brother of Messrs. J.
