On motion. it was resolved that the cuairman of the executive committee hand the petition to the supervisor on Saturday. July T. A committee was appointed. con sisting of G. F. Long. ex-officio. R.

Plans are on foot for a summer base ball team here during the rest of the season. About twenty prospective players were on the college grounds yesterday afternoon, and the prospect for a winning team is bright. With such college players as Cabaniss, Boozer, Goggans, Coleman, Simpson and Crouch, together with other ex cellent local material there is no rea son why Newberry should not cope - with any semi-professional aggrega tion. The boys deserve the cooperation " and the patronage of the people of Newberry. And if there is as much interest taken in this enterprise, it will be a success. Let us have good and clean base ball-a team of which Newberry will be proud. Neel-Tucker. Cards are out announcing the mar riage of Mr. Thos. M.
