Facing a score of 2 to 0 in the last half of the ninth, Newberry was truly up against it. The boys on the side lines believed in these men, however, and called loudly for the game, and the boys responded nobly. Coach Johnson putting forth every effort to put the game on our side of the ledger, displayed" marked ; generalship by sub stituting Timmons, a pinch hitter, for Smeltzer, the- first up. This move proved a most happy one, as it had the desired effect. Stilwell becoming un nerved, at once gave him free trans portation to first by the big four route. .Neal hit to pitcher, who played with the ball long enough for the crack out-fielder to reach the initial bag. Wise popped to Edens. Hazel hit to Steel at short, who heaved wild to third and Timmons counted; Epting buntec, and 'the squeeze play worked excellenty, Neal icountaing. On the throw-in, Glenn let the ball get away and Hazel crossed, making it all over, except the noise. r Wofford's runs canie il the fotiittb after this fashion: Edens to6k fi'st on Johnstone's error. Eumphries sacri ficed him down, on an out, Smeltzer to Wriglt. Muldiow doubled, and Edens scored. Walker hit to center, and Neal 'made a great catch after a Ion7 run; Steel beat out a slow one, Eidson to Wright (being safe on a question able decision by Umpire Kelly) and Muidrow crossed. Eidson then tight ened up, and Humphries, T., breezed, 1 ending the agony. As the game rocked along many bits of fine fielding were brought to light. The entire Newberry infielG playe'd jam-up ball. Boozer's work at shgrt stood out as the one bright star of the afternoon. This boy's perfor mances were great, and stam3ps him~ as an infielder .par excellence. Edens, at second for Wofford, got away with some nice plays, and was the star for the visiitors, saving, of course, the twirling of Stilwell, wnc was very much there with slab artist goods. The box score may pr ove in teresting. It follows: Newberry.

Gallant Soldier and Worthy Citizen, Passes Away-Victim of Pneumonia. Columbia, April 5.-Col. Wade Hampton Manning, who was orderly during the War Between the States to his kinsman, Gen. Wace iampton, serving afterwards as private secre tary to Governors Hampton, Simpson, Jeter and Hagood, and later as State pension agent, died at 3.20 o'clock this morning at h-is home, 1,500 Washing ton street, of pneumonia, after an ll ness of less than a week. It was Col. Manning, escorted by Chief Constable William Butler, who demanded of the Republican governor, Daniel H. Cham berlain, on April 11, 1877, the keys of the .South Carolina. capitol, the sur render of which, made immediately to Governor Wade Hampton through Mr. Manning, marked the resumption of the 'reins of government in this State by the whites, and the consequent overthrow of alien and negro domina tion. Miss Annie Moseley's Iecital. Miss Annie Elizabeth Moseley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W, A. Mose ley, of Prosperity, S. C., is a student of Elizabeth college, Charlotte, N. C. Speaking of her recita l, the Char lotte Obeerver bas the following to say: The graduate pianoforte recita1l of Miss Annie Elizabeth Moseley took place last evening in the Elizabeth college auditorium. A burst of ap plause greeted the young musician as she eame forward, and .her ease of manner and composure quite won the audien-e, even before she had struck a note. The first number of the pro gram was Sonota, Op. 7, by Greig, consisting of three movements. This compositon is written in Grieg's most characteristic style, full of strange and weird harmony, which Miss Mose ley brought out to the utmost. "The Lark," the net number, was of an entirely different character. Miss Moseley played this with a delivery and lightness of touch that was really remarkable. The "Minuetto Scher zando" is a bri-lliant composition call ing for great technique, and Miss Moseley rendered it* most beautifully. The long runs and crashing chords were indeed excellently pilayed. Miss Anita Bryant assisted Miss Moseley and gretly added to the pleasure of those present by two charming old songs, "The Garden of Sleep," and "The Auld Plaid Shawl.' Miss Bryant's stage presence is so pleasing- that anything s'he would sing could no.t fail to be attractive, 'espe 'cially noticeable was the remarkable interpretation, expressed in voice and afe.e Miss .Moseley's interpretative pow eqrs were possibly best shown in her two Schumann nmimbers, "Warum," and "Grillen." T'r beautifunl iobras ing, her left-hard work, and -er arti-s tic s'hading wers ilhatr,It.d in a high degree. The questioning, plaintive melody rwas most eifectiv-?. The bri[ liant concerto, in g-minor, of Mendels sohn was bemutifully played. This formed a fitting climax to this ".aried and .brilliant program, o-or w.all ca1 culated to bring out the nowers of such a versatile and talensted ar{i a.* Miss Moseley. Newberry Conference.

Miss Emma Rodgers, of Newberry, who is a student at Chicora college, Greenvilie, took a prominent part in the musical program, which was ren dered by the music school of the insti tution a few evenings ago. The Greenville News, in speaking of the part Miss Rodgers had in the pro gram, says: "Miss Rodgers' part of the program was chosen entirely from the works of French composers beginning with the harpsicord pieces of the preclas siests passing througli the Romantic school, the modern impressionists rep resented by the Fantasmagories of Philipp and closing with the brilliant and difficult Tocata, op. III, by Saint Saens. - "Miss Rodgers. has seemingly ex plored every field of piano technic. Her clean cut finger work, her untir ing wrist and her really remarkable ped .l work are features of piano play ing that can only be acquired by long and careful work in widely different schools of pianism. "Her extremely long and heavy numbers were carried out to surpris ing climaxes with no apparent effort and without her playing ever losing its beautiful ese and grace." * * * * ********* * * BASE BALI. * * * * * * *' Friday, April 7th, at 4.30 p..., there will be a game on the college diamond between Newberry and the College of Charleston. The Charleston boys have a good aggregation and a fine game is expected. -These boys always play a fast snappy game. Monday another game will be play ed with the Citadel, 'the game to be called at 3.30 p. m. This is the first game~ that the Citadel boys play away fromi home. They are taking this year, their first trip 'to other colleges, and start with this game at Newberry. IThe Newberry team went to Char leston on the 17th and 18th of March and won from these two teams, by instiarti.ng of a winiuhg streak which wilassure the pennant fior the college this year. All fans that wish to see Newberry come out on top this year should come to 'these games and help the boys by their presence at the game. Un ique Invitation.

Wicker. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 3rother Rural Carriers of South Caro lina: Below you will find a list of rural arriers whom I have appointed spe ial organizers for their respective hi ounties. See if your name is on the ist and if it is, then go to work with L vim for your county association; if t is not, then write your county .or ;anizer at once and tell him your ser ices are at his command. In several counties I have made no xppointments, because I didn't know * who would be willing and interested mough to undertake the work. I , ,hould be glad to have names of +hust Lers from those counties so that the List of organizers could be made com plete. The appointment of special or ;anizers doesn't mean that State and d county officers may become less active in their efforts to secure members. The State convention at Newberry last July was the largest and -best in the history of the association. The question now is, will it be excelled by the convention, at Florence next July? What does Florence say about - it? What does Burch say about it? What do we all say about it? Our a presence in goodly numbers will make it a success; our absence will make it a failure. Now let us all get busy it the ipter- t est of our county conventions on the a 30th of May. Remember, the national .3 dues, fixed at Little Rock last year, are 75 cents, and state dues 25 cents; c your county dues, if any, are what you I choose to make them, - Let us all join the association for a the good of the service and for our I own good. If by getting together in conveiitions and exchanging ideas, we are benefited, then of course the ser- 1 vice will be benefited to the same ex- i tent. The carrier who refuses or. neg- I lects to join the association, isolates 1 himself and pockets this salary at the z end of the month; this is the sum a total of his interest in the rural mail 2 service. The carrier who joins the t association, manifests by that very < act, a desire to learn, through the as sociation as a medium, the wishes of the department officials in the con- I duct of the service. He is wide awake e and more efficient than his isolated .1 brother, 'because he is in touch with 1~ the department and in sympathy with t those who are trying to improve the service. There may be sonme among us who think that the recent salary increase was not as large as it shou'ld 'have been. From our viewpoint perhaps it was hot; but from the viewpoint of the government it was solely a ques tion of economy. We must not forget that our branch of the service is young and in some respects, inmper- ~ fect, therefore, looking at it in this ight, let us who are in the- field co- e operate with our su.periors at head-1 quarters, to the end that the imper- d fections in the service may be elimn iated and that we may become more efficient and deserving. When these things 'have 'been; accomp.lished there need be no doubt that our compensa tion will be as generous as we could wish. Uncle sam is not stingy, but, as every good business man should be, hie is conservative. In closing, let me again urge upon c you the importance of your presence b at Florence July 3, 4, 5--three days. Come whether a member of the asso- * cation or not. Fraternally yours, Thos. E.
