Monday's Game. Monday afternoon Chester played her first game in Orangeburg. Up to the fourth inning neither club scored. In that inning a wild throw by Miller from third to first base al lowed Chester not only to score one man, but to advance two others to second and third bases. A lucky hit scored two more men, and tnen Ches ter was retired. Things now looked blue for Orangeburg, but our boys pulled together and succeeded in scoring one before she was retired. In the fifth inning Chester failed to score, but Orangeburg chalked up another run. In the sixth inning Chester was retired without making a score. Orangeburg batted Beil pret ty freely and got two more men over the home plate, but Prim cut third and was called out ?.y the umpire^. This tied the score and neither club scored after the sixth inn in". At tho end of the ninth inning the umpire called the game on account of dark ness, and so it ended in a tie, each club having made three runs.

It lost Orangeburg the game, but uuder the circumstances Miller was hardly to blame. Prim's cutting third base was not noticed by the Chester players, but he was called out by the umpire, which is the first time we have ever knowu an umpire to do such a thing without having his attention called to it by the other side. Had Prim touched the base Orangeburg would have won the game. Prim stepped over the base instead of on it. Such tilings will happen to the very best players, so Prim is excusable. He is all right. He made the first run for Orangeburg by stealing home on a desperate chance. All things consid the Orangeluirg boys did well. They certainly outplayed Chester, and we believe they will win this evening if the fans will stand up to them as they should. Go out this faternoon and you will see a good game, but be sure and leave your hammersat at j sure and leave your hammer at home. With a little encouragement Chester has a good team but Orange burg has a better one. So go out and jsvhoop the boys up. Umpire Hemrick is all right. He j Is perfectly fair In his decisions. PINK FRANKLIN CASE. An Appeal Taken to the United States Court. i The State says the case of Pink Franklin, the negro tried and Con victed of murder, will be taken to the United States Court. Tuesday Moorer and Adams, the negro attor neys representing the defendant, ob tained from Col. U. R. Brooks, the clerk of the supseme i'ourt, the certi fied copies in the case and the hear ing means that the suffrage laws of South Carolina will be tested. It is claimed by the attorneys for the de fendant that Franklin was not grant ed a fair trial and that the selection of jurors was in violation of the con stitution of the United States. Franklin was charged with the killing of a .constable and on tiral 'was convicted and sentenced to be hung. He was captured shortly after the homicide and was carried direct to the penitentiary, the feeling in the neighborhood being such that a lynching was feared. He was taken back to Orangeburg at the convening of the September term of sessions court, and there placed on trial for murder, Moorer & Adams' defending him and made the same pleas upon which the case now goes to the United States supreme court, but were overruled by the cir cuit judge presiding; but Franklin was convicted and was sentenced to be hanged October 25, 1907. (His wife, by the way, was tried with him, but acquitted.) Moorer and Adams then appealed to the State supreme court, and this appeal of course stayed the execu tion. The supreme, court affirmed the decision of the lower court hand ing down its decision March 1 "vh last, but Chief Justice Pope on March 20th stayed the remittitur, upon no tice from Franklin's attorneys that a writ of error to the Lnited States su preme court was in course of prepa ration. The stay of remittitur of course operated to prevent Franklin's being resentenced and executed. The pa pers in the case were Thursday trans mitted to the court in Washington, as before stated, and the case will now remain as it is until the hearing comes on at Washington on the writ of error. At this hearing Moorer and Adams will represent Franklin and the State will probably be re presented by Solicitor P. T. Hilde brand, who is the State's attorney of record. O. C. I. COMMENCEMENT. Closing Exercises Will Begin on Next Sunday Morning. On last Friday evening, the class of three young ladies of the Colle giate Institute' gave the graduating recital in voice at the college build ing. The class was composed of Misses Kena and Ethel Smith and Miss Annie Dimer. Several choice pieces was rendered by each of the young ladies which was enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience. Miss Ethel Smith won the medal. On this evening in the college building, Miss Bessie Ayers will give a piano recital, when she will receive her diploma in music. On Sunday morning the Baccalaurate sermon will be preached at the Baptist church. Sunday night a special ser mon will be delivered to the Y. M. C. A! and the Y. W. C. A. The grad uation exercises will be held in the College Auditorium on Monday e/e ning The public is invited to attend all these exercises. BIG FISH FRY. An Enjoyable Day Spent Down on the Edisto River. A big fish fry, which was attended by about 3 00 citizens of this town and county, was given Friday about seven miles down the Edisto River. Of course, the candidates were on hand?many of them, the guest of honor bein g the Hon. John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg. The Hon. Panks L. Caughman, candidate for railroad commissioner, was also pres ent. A majority of the candidates for offices in this county wpvo ??n hand, besides a number of prominent citizens without political aspirations. There were plenty of fish and other good things to eat. While the candi dates did a lot of handshaking, there were no political #speeches, several visitors merely expressing their ap preciation of the delightful time giv en them. The Shoofiy Train. The Florence Times says: "None of the railroad men here know any thing about the rumor that the com pany intends to discontinue the Or angeburg-Lanes train in the near fu ture on the ground that it is not paying. A Times man made inquiry to this effect Saturday morning. It is understood that the train is to be given a fair trial for six months and after the time if the Coast Line is disposed to take the traiu off it will have to be proven conclusively to the Railroad Commission that it real ly does not pay before the commis sion will submit to -it being discon tinued." Delegates to Annual Conference. Messrs. 1. W. Bowman, A. W. Summers, O. 15. Riley and D. L. Rhoad were elected lay delegates from the Orangeburg District to tne South Carolina Conference by the District Conference at Branchville last week. The conference was roy ally entertained by the good people of Branchville, who never do things by halves. x Mad Dogs Killed. Saturday afternoon two mad dogs were killed on Amelia street in the neighborhood of the Lutheran f Church. There were quite a number !of children right in the ivcinity where the dogs were killed. It was reported that one of the dogs bit a ?olored child, which we hope is not true. ?* PROGR?M IN DETAIL OF THE ORANGEBURG COUNTY BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL Convention, Which Will Be Hehl at the Ebenerer School at Cordova on May 21, 22 and 2tf.

MOST PEOPLE DRINK ENTIRELY TOO LITTLE. It Should Re Taken Chiefly Between Meals and Not While bating?Give the Water Cure a Trial. One of the most universal dietetic failings is to neglect to take enough Water into the system. When one stops to think of the many functions which water has to perform in the body, the need of a large supply is realized. The uses of water in the body may be summarized as follows: It furnishes the blood with a fluid medium so that nourishment may be taken to all parts of the body and the waste removed, and this causes rapid changes in the tissues. 2. It enters into the composition of all tissues of the body. 3. It forms the chief ingredient of all the fluids of the body and main tains/their proper degree of dilution. 4. It serves to distribute the heat of the body. 5. It regulates the temperature of the body by the process of absorption and evaporation. It is estimated that water ? com poses about 70 per cent of the entire body weight, and it is an almost universal solvent. Its importance, therefore to the system cannot be overrated. The amount of water required by a heal/.by individual in twenty-four hours is on an average between sixty five and seventy' ounces, besides about twenty ounces taken in as an ingredient of solid food, thus mak ing a iota- of eightv-five to ninety ounces. A great many people leading sed entary lives take too little water, and also err in taking it for the most part when eating. A certain amo?ut a water should form a part of every meal, and particularly is it necessary to those who hav$ very active diges tions. It assists the escape from the stomach of those substances made soluble by the action of the ga&trie juice and the churning effect of the stomach, and will oftentimes make digestion con'ifortable when it other wise would be attended with dis tress. While some liquid should be taken with the meals, the foods should not be washed down, for this interferes with digestion (especially starch digestion), and may also cause the individual to swallow morsels of food altogether too large and resisting for the stomach to manage comfortably. The proper time for taking the bulk of fluid is between meals, par ticularly early in the morning before breakfast, and at night before retir ing. * DEATH OP A LADY Who Had Many Friends in the City of Orangcburg. We ci'p the following from the Macon, Ga., Telegraph of last Sat urday: Mrs. Mary Johnson Brantley. wife of Mr. Frank B. Brantley, (lied in Philadelphia, May 14th, at the res idence of the hitter's cousin, Mis. Mary O. P.urkest, 10." I N. Marshall street, after an illness of six months. Mrs. brantley was uora in Rome, Ga. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Miles W. Johnson having died when she was a child, she came to Macon, and was reared by her sister, the late Mrs. J. D. Carner, and graduated from Wesleyan college. When living in Macon, Mrs. Brant ley was a devout member of the Kirst Baptist- Church and a teacher In the Sabbath school. She was married to Mr. F. H. Brantley, a son of the late Win. S. Brantley, on April 28, IS86. Several years ago whiie living in South Carolina, Mrs. Brantley offered herself with her husband as a mis sionary to the foreign field, but on account of a slight defect in Mr. Brantley's hearing the application was declined. Mrs. Brantley was a consecrated Christian of a self-sacrificing nature, delighting in doing deeds of charity, and greatly assisting her husband in missionary work. In 1894 they moved to Philadelphia to engage in broader mission work. She leaves besides her husband a son, Eugene Carter Brantley, and two brothers, Win. W. Johnson, of Char lotte, N. C. and Waletr M. Johnson, of Louisiana. Norway School Closes. The Norway graded school has closed a most prosperous and success ful term under the princlpalship of Prof. Ii. L. Cogburn and his assist ants. Miss Hell Simrell and Miss Maude Finch. Much interest has been manifested by the patrons of the school. The pupils have done ex cellent work, which reflects credit upon the school. The board of trus tees have selected all the teachers for another term and they have ac cepted. With the present standard the efficiency for the fall term bids fail- to do greater work. There is a movement on foot to secure a high scbool. New Millinery Store. Mr. John C. Pik?'.

Poor Guy Gun ter. > WARNING TO POSTMASTERS. Merchants Resort to Tricks to Have Their Packages Delivered. Information having reached the Postoffice Department of certain methods by which the postal laws in regard to the mailable and unmail able merchandise on rural routes have been evaded, fourth Assistant Postmaster Degraw has taken steps to prevent future evasions. Rural carriers are permitted to de liver as express matter for hire, for patrons of their routes, unmailable merchandise and packages of mail able merchandise weighing in excess of four pounds. An example of the abuse of this privilege is that of a merchant who sent out by rural car rier as extra matter a pair of shoes to which he added a bag of salt to make the package overweight and to avoid paying postage so that the carrier might carry the package for hire. In view of such abuses, Mr. ? De graw has issued the following state ment: "All packages of merchan dise to be sent out by rural carriers by merchants of the town should be presented at postoffice for inspection and in case it is found that extraneous matter not ordered by the patrons has been added to any mailable mat ter or package for the purpose of making such package matt-, r iinms'i'; | able, postmasters should refuse to I permit the carrier to carry any such matter or package for hire outside j of the mails, and rural carriers should not receive any mail matter from patrons as unmailable matter for hire which they suspect has been made unmailable by such devices as adopted by the merchant referred to to. ? CURFEW LAW IX FORCE. The Bell Should Ring the Boys (ill the Street. As we stated last week the curfew law, which was recently passed by the city council, is now in operation and will be the means of keeping many young boys off the streets at the time when they should be at home. Unless accompanied by par ent or guardian, or for some good reason, children under the age of 14 years of age will not hereafter be allowed on the streets after 10 o'clock at night. The ordinance provides for the arrest and imprisonment of all violators, and it is also deemed a misdemeanor for any parent or guar dian to allow children under the specified age to be on the streets or in any of the public places of ths city after 10 o'clock.' The new law meets with the hearty endorsement of the parents, particularly those who have sons that are inclined to bo somewhat wild. It would be a good idea to have a bell to ring the hour, so as the boys will know when their time is up. MUCH CONCERN FELT. Ordinary Methods for Treating Ca tarrh Prove Unsuccessful. Written statistics that show an in crease in cartarrh have shaken con fidence in the usual prescriptions to safeguard human health from the ravages of this disease. When stomach dosing was proven ineffective, it was natural to look for some other treatment, and it is be lieved that in Hyomei an absolute cure for all catarrhal troubles has at last been found. Inhaled with the air you breathe, its healing medica tion reaches every part of..the nose and throat, and soothes the irrited mucous membrane so that relief is almost instant, while lasting cure is practically sure to follow. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00, and is sold by J. G. Wannaraaker Mfg. Co. under an absolute agreement to refund the mouev if it does not give satisfaction. m Orangeburg's Public Building.' It seems to be a settled fact that Orangeburg is to have a handsome public building. This pleasing news was communicated to President Jen nings of the Business Men's League by a telegram from Congressman Lever on Thursday evening which stated that $50,000, had been ap propriated for the building at Or-1 angehury. Congressman Lever is en titled to the thanks of the people of this city for the interest he took in the matter and for finally getting the appropriation for the building. It is much needed. Several other towns in the State also got public buildings. Beau:if>-'i\*=. the Railways. In the wu.it there is a growing appre ciation of the movement to beautify the steel highways, a movement now in popular favor and under full swing on the Atlantic coast. Both steam and electric lines in Los Angeles are each year giving the matter more time and attention. It is a highly contagious work, for it stimulates both towns and rural districts to clean up and plant streets and highways as well as to im prove private places. We shall yet see the day when all railway embank ments will be permanently planted with suitable shrubbery. Reward For Ten Words. Business men of Emporia. Kan., are Offering a reward of $100 to the Kan sas editor who will write the best ten words about Emporia. The winning words will be used as a city slogan of publicity. Muzzle the Dogs. No dog should be allowed to run at large without being muzzled. There are too many mad dogs abroad, and something must be done to check the spread of hydropnobia. Govern ment experts say the only way to do* it rs to muzzle the dogs, and this should be done. The City Council should take the matter up at once and pass an ordinance requiring all dogs to be muzzled or kept off the streets. MAY CAUSE A SMILE A COLUMN OP LIGHT READING THAT WILL BE ENJOYED By AU Who Like to Read Funny and Witty Sayings from the Mag azines and Papers. The Play Weni On. In the early days of the last cen tury Thomas Hill, a great-uncle of the late Thomas Hill, president of Har vard university, was occupying an end seat in a theater at Jersey City. Di rectly in front of him sat a* diminutive Frenchman, who found his enjoyment of the play greatly diminished by the fact that an overgrown man in front of him persisted in wcarfng a tali silk hat. He tried to look around the hat and over the burly shoulders, but only to his discomfiture. Finally he tapped the man on the arm, saying. "Eff you please, sare, would yon be kind enough to take off your hat?" No attention was paid to this protest, and he re Iterated his request. Still the big man paid no heed. Mr. Hill's attention was attracted, and, taking his cane, he knocked the silk hat off into the aisle. Instantly the man, his face red with wrath, rose to his feet and began to pull off his coat. The audience also rose, expcctiug to see a fight The y.uy stopped, the actors crowding to the front of the stage. -Mr. Hill de liberately stood up. displaying his sir feet two iuches of height and his mag nificent proportions, and said in a clear voice heard all over the theater, "My name Is Thomas Hill, tanner.
