Abbeville, s. t;., June i", Hkh). ON THK DIAMOND. Un last Monday afternoon the first game ol ball for this seasou between Newberry and the borne tearu was called on schedule time at4:3(1 o'clock. The boys were in good spirits and Hue trim, aud a close aud Interesting game was played throughout. The crowd not as large as usual, owlug we suppose to the threatening appearance ol the elements, as a storm seemed brewing until late in the game. We heard some compialut among the crowd as to a want of 1 merest, irom the tact that tnere was a very small percentage of the home team, "Abbeville boys,"' but this should not be the existing feeling from the fact thai the "specials" now playlnn on the Abbeville | team are "Abbeville boys" for the ball season, beside* it must be remembered that the opposing teams are not all of the town from whence they come, hut Just as the Abbeville team, are "picked up" here and there. At lilts close of the 'JLh idiiiuk we score mimu a iu 0 In favor of Abbeville. Mr. J. L. McMillan acted as umpire. Mr. Dendy Miller was the ooly Abbeville boy who played on tlie special ' team which was quite complimentary. Dendy is a tine pJayer lor his size and general make up.

Among those returned to Abbevll le are: Miss Lillian Uambrell from Wllliamston, Miss Sallie White from Rock Hill. Messrs. Tom Perrlu, Giles Templeton, Townes Robertson, Allen Long, Will Hill, from Clemson. t ANOTHER ECLIPSE. * The "Boxers" war In China has almost totally eclipsed the Mouth American War, to such an extent that the English can almost realize the dawn of peace. Question?Will the sacrifice in lives and money already made by Great Urlttlan compensate them tor their Interest in the Transvaal gold mines? We think this a good subject for debate. Perhaps the same question mlgbt appropriately be asked of the United States in their vrreat sacrifice of llle and tremendous expen aiture ol money with Cuba and the rninpplues, to say nothing ot tne war with Spain. LOOKS WAKLIKK. America, England, France, Russia, Germany, ami Japan, each have a number ol war ships In Cninese waters to guard their <* Interests, and protect life and property from mob violence now waging war in the Chinese Empire. Trouble Is evidently brewing between one or more of these powers and a great war seems imminent. THE ABBEVILLE LACNDKY. Mr. C. P.

Itaniel took lor his subject in the : morning the "New Birth," and showed that j this was the true and only way into theKingilom of God, us ancestral blood was in Itself good, and of which Individuals and nations were both proud of. but It would not itvuil, It being alone transmitted, while the "New Birth" was a Divine work within us. His concluding remarks were earnest and very suggestive. Do you as a Christian j "Know God?" or do you only know of Him. He claimed that many church workers who j called themselves Christians only '-knew of I God." His earnest appeal was that we all might be experimental and not sentimental Christians and In the last hour look up and I cry Abba Father, having been adopted into the Heavenly Kingdom. His subject at i night was "The Situation in China." We had a full choir, and the musical exercises morning and evening were fine. DEATH OF F. A. WILSON. Mr. F. A.

' v USED REPEATING GUNS. 4 Fired With Deadly Effect on Crowd of Street Car Striker*?Four Killed and' Fonr Wounded?Striker* Made Dasli Tor Car Just In Front of Barrack* Used liy I'oM.se and Were Nnrronnded. St. Louis, June 10.?The day JuBt ended has been one of the most eventtul and bloody since the great strike on the St. Louis Transit lines began more than one month ago. There were numerous encounters between strikers and other individuals and the constituted authorities resulting in three deaths and the wounding of live or more persons, mostly strikers. One of the latter will die. The dead: C. Edward Thomas, striking conductor on the Chouteau avenue line; shot in breast by deputy sheriff, died on way to hospital. George Blue, striking motorman on Delmar avenue line; shot in abdomen by deputy sheriff, died at hospital. ?. Fred Boehm, citizen, shot and Instantly killed while standing In hlB front yard by deputy sheriff. v. The wounded. Ed Burkhart, striking conductor on Delmar avenue line; shot in head, may die. /i/\n/Jn/itn? AM lha 1 .AO QVPnilO Hue; abut in right hand and arm, serious. August Smith, shot In right arm aud breast, not serious. Charles Ludwig, shot in band, not serious. The day was quiet, until tbls afternoon when the police were taken ofl a number of streetcar lines for (he purpose of giving tbem a rest and to test the ability of tbe Transit company to operaie without friction. Cars were in operation during the day time on all the lines of tbe Transit company except tbe Southwestern. Tonight cars were run under police protection until midnight on the Park avenue, Olive street, Lindell division and Laolede avenue line. The most serious trouble broke out between 5 and 7 o'clock in front of the six-story building on Washington avenue between Broadway and Sixth streets, occupied by the sheriffs posse comitatus as a barracks and headquarters. Several hundred striking street car men had gone to East St. Louis earlier In tbe day to attend a plcnlo given for their benefit. Toward evening tbey began returning home singly, In groops or two or three, and others In companies of a hundred or more. No serious trouble occurred until nnsnf these coniDHDies. composed of nearly ISO street car men in uniform and beaded hy a dmm corps, came west on Washington. In tbeir caps some had cards bearing these words: "Uulon or nothing; liberty or death." The men were marching along the sidewalk on the south side of Washington avenue opposite the posse barracks. They were In a jocular mood, and ?a near as can be learned, had no iutention of making any trouble. Just as they were passing the barracks a car of the Pr./k avenue division was going west. A number of the men broke from the line and rushed to the car with the Intention. it Is said, of boarding it and taking a ilde. Another statement was made that It was the Intention of the strikers to assault the tnotoriodn and conductor, whose car was without police guard. However that may be. the trouble started here. A brick was thrown through the car window and a shot was flred by somebody unknown. At the first Intimation of trouble members of the sherltTs posse swarmed from the building and surrounded the crowd ot strikers about the car, calling nnon them to disperse. Other shots were flred and then some of the /lAM.itiac inrnoH lst/Mca fholr ronfiflllnc chnt.. guns loaded with buckshot. As far as can be learned, only four of the men lu the strikers' ranks were hit. Not a deputy was wounded, even. Jefferson, City, Mo., June 10.?Gov. Stephens said this evening that everything Is being putln readiness for calling out the National Guard of Missouri to quell disorder In St. Louis consequent to the street railway strike, hut he will not issue the call except as a last resort. It will cost, he said, S.*?,(K)0 to land 23,000 men In St. Louis and as much per day to maintain them. It might, he said, require an extra session of the legislature to appropriate the money. MOUNT CARMELS GRIEVANCE Fiona Meditations I>lNlurbo?l on Mini day l>y Negro Excni-NloiiiMt*. Mt. Carmel.S. C., June 7, 1900. At a public meeting held at Town Academy on Wednesday, June the 7, by tbe citizens of Mt. Carmel and surrounding country, .j. jr. Clement was elected Chairman, and W. L. Miller, Sr., Secretary. The following petition and resolution were adopted : Wishing to devise some meanR to prevent trains on the 0. & W. C. Railroad from bringing negro excursionists to Mt. Carmel on the Sabbath day, we call the attention of the General Superintendent of said road to the fact that on Sabbath day, June 3rd, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock A. M.. that a train, property of said Railroad, did stop and deliver In the incorporate limits of said town a number of negroes, many of whom were armed with pistols and other weapons of violence, and that on the 6ald Sabbath day many of our cttlzens were insulted, the laws of the land W6re set at defiance and reckless dissipation and wild carousal characterized the conduct of the negroe. In view of these facts as law abiding citizens, taxpayers, and church members we cannot let such conduct go unrebuked. And do respectfully petition the General Superintendent of said railroad not to allow any more trains to deliver negro excursionist or any other excursionists at the town ofMt. Carmel on the Sabbath day. We fully recognize the right to accomodate the traveling publics, bat we deny the right to inflict upon a Christian community upon the Lord's day a set of notorious neeroe characters, outlaws, and ruffians, who defy the written law of the land, wbooome to gamble and drink in the very shadow of our church, and Indulge In such'^'cQntlousness and drunkenness, as only bestial and debauched men can do. The following resolution was also adopted : While we would heartily eondemo the disreputable and dlograoeftiL' ooudnct of tbe negroes wbo bad intruded tUemselves upon us, we wish to commend the action of the colored people oi.iblB commanftty, especially those of them who bravely, stood wlih the whites when a bloody riot was imminent.

THE ABBEVILLE 1STERNTATF,, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AM> SOUTH AMERICAN EXPOSITION. Electric Car* to Connect Snbnrban , Towns of Atlanta, Anjjnsta, Charteuton, Columbia, Spartanbnrc, Greenville, Anderson and Dne West. Rnniizln? the lmmenne oroflt to result in this city, and especially tr? this State, from holding a Great Interstate, Philippine Islands and South American Exposition, Abbeville will not hesitate to become the soene of the greatest Exposition that was ever held. Abbeville believes In Helf-belp, but will allow other cities to participate in the profits of this Great Exposition, as well as to contribute something to the capital stock of the Association, Contraots have not yet been awarded for the magniflcant buildings whose towers and roofs may reach. to the skies, bat a host of contractors siand ready to bid on the work as soon as the architects complete the plans. The time being limited the work of preparation for this Great Exposition will be poshed in accordanoe with the necessities of the case. Books of subscription will be presented to our people at the proper time and in due season application will be made to the Legislature for an appropriation to the capital stock of the Exposition Association. This application is not made as a request, but rather as granting a privilege to other portions of tne State to participate In the immense advantages that are to result from the Inter-State. Philippine Islands and South American Exposition. It would be selfish In Abbeville to seek to reap the sole advantage of tbe Exposition, and therefore with the spirit of true generosity this city proposes to grant theState tbe privilege of contributing something to tbe capital stock of tbe Asso elation, when the Commonwealth may realize a large share of the resultant advantages arlBlngfrom the Great Exposition, The Abbeville Exposition Company, in furtherance of patriotic Impulses, will no doubt propose to connect the suburban cities by electric cars, so that tbe advantages of the Exposition may be evenly spread over the whole State and part of Georgia. Hourly trains may be expected between the outlying cities of Atlanta. Augusta, Cbarleston, Columbia, Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson. Due West, and Intermediate points. Excur 81008 10 me war suip iu uunnoiiivu um uui may be had on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the attractions of the Exposition may be so great that Charleston harbor may be so lull of all kinds of great ships that little room may be had for turning around. It is supposed therefore, that on the occasion ol this Exposition, they will have to back out. The ruins of the Naval Station In Port Koyal harbor will be visited according to the pleasure of excursionists. Ajjulnaldo, and his patriotic followers in tbo distant islands of the Sea, may be expected to be present during the-Exposition, so that he may meet bis sympathizers in this country, and take a rest from the ceaseless annoyance of Ill-mannered United States troops. Each of Agnlnaldo'e soldiers will be treated to a ougyf-tof pure gold from Bradley's gold mine oa Look Cane?the nugget to be of the size of the soldier's foot alter the shoe and sock have been removed. Scientists from all parts of the earth will be permitted to carry away with them the finest specimens of the rarest diamonds which may be thrown up from any volcano oo Little Mountain. The advantages which Abbeville and South Carolina are to reap are many. Rich men In every quarter of the globe may come here and view our red hills, look upon our deep glllieys, nee our marisLiy uuiiuiup, auu wodjj over our barren hills. Wllh the true missionary spirit they may dedicate their time and their money to showing us bow to I become a thrifty and a prosperous people. This would be glory enough for the average philanthropist. Wealthy Itinerant philanthropists would no doubt assemble at once and make an appropriation for the hire of a night watchmaD, or else Induce one of their number to go around and wake up the individual sleeping citizens or the dead towns which have done little since the war, except to exult over tbeir former prestige wblie weeping over visions of their vanishing glory. $40,000. ClinrlPMton mill West India Promises Much. The excellent work of the special committee on Exposition subscriptions, which visited New York to confer with the Presidents of railroads entering Charleston, has resulted in adding ?40.000 to the slock of the Houtb CaroII Tn/llon I? v nnol H/\n Illlil lUltJI-OUHC nuu ironv luuiau ha|<uoiuuu company. This subscription was made by the Southern Hallway, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Plant System. In addition to this, $2,000 was secured from the Clyde Steamship Line. These subscriptions post lively insure the success of the project and the Exposition Company will likely be organized within a few days. The committee now at tbe Nortb, also anticipates qtber subscriptions in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and otber cities and tbe outlook is bright Indeed. Wherever one turns, tbe most encouraging reports are heard and the whole country seems to be willing and ready to help South Carolina, now that she has shown a disposition to help herself. With the slock previouslv taken the figures now stand at about. 3175,000, and there Is much more "in sight." The people of South Carolina generally, have been Invited to Join In this movement and the shares have been placed at 83 each, lo order that every citizen may be personally intprpafpd. If he so desires. Subscription books have been sent to nearly every county in tbe State, and all wbo desire (o aid in tbe splendid project can sign for sucti amounts as they see fit, in the presence and with the advice of their fellow townsmen.
