Her untimely 1 death casts a gloom over this entire1 community; all hearts beat in sympa thy for her devoted husband,the moth-1 erless children and the aged mother,and her sisters and brothers. Mrs. Dick son was of a cheerful disposition, and was very popular, as was attested by the large concourse of people that at -tended her funeral yesterday afternoon in the Manning cemetery. The funeral service was conducted by Revs. J. M. Hlladay and A. N. Brunson. in a most impressive manner. The grave was banked with many beautiful floral trib utes. The pall bearers were: Messrs E. C. Horton, L. R. McIntosh, .C. S. Rigby, I. I. Appelt, L. H. Harvmn and Club Meetings. The clubs in this town met last Sat turday to reorgalnize and elect dele gates to the county convention. Very little interest was taken,and if the rules were strictly adhered to, we doubt if any of the clubs had a quorum to trans act business. The Farmers Platform, with an en rolled membership of 447. had an at tendance of 35, and some of them were enrolled that day. The following offi cers were elected:- D. M. Bradham, President: Vice-President. J. L. Wilson Secretary, J. M. Windham; mem ber of the County Executive Commit tee, F. Earle Bradham. The club decided to elect 18 delegates. There did not seem to be any friction, every thing went 9n smoothly: a motion was made by M. C. Galluchat that Messrs. Louis Appelt, W. C. Davis, and J. M. Woods be a committee to select IS dele gates was voted down, and not until Mr. Galluchat suggested that Louis Appelt's name be withdrawn from the list of delegates nominated, and that of S. J. Bowman be put instead, was there any contention. Mr. Gallu chat inconsistently followed up his suggestion with a most remarkable attack on Mr. Appelt's political prin ciples, and at the same time profes sing the most affectionate friendship Appelt was good enough Democrat to name a delegation, but not good enough to serve on it. Ir. Galluchat contended that because Mr. Appelt is a friend of Hon. John L. McLaurin, and has declared editorially and elsewhere he would support Mr. McLaurin within the Democratic party. it makes him a Republican. Mr. Appelt resented Mr. Galluchat's attack in as forceful parli mentary language as he could com mand, and then proposed in order to facilitate the business that 17 dele gates be elected by acclamation, and notwithstanding Mr. Bowman's declin ing to serve as a delegate, to let the :lub vote for its choice between Appelt md Bowman, which was agreed to, mnd resulted in the election of Mr. Bowman by a vote of 23 to 12. When he vote was announced Mr. Appelt trose and stated that if he believed he result of the ballot was an endorse nent of Mr. Galluchat's contention he vould retire from the club instanter, tnd connect himself with a club where 20 such silly sentiment existed, but he ras satisfied there were none who be iered him a Republican, and that they *,ted for Mr. Bowman, who is an )ld war veteran and is very popular, 6s a compliment to him, and not as Ln endorsement of Mr. Galluchat's :harges.

A gentlemanly and well behaved set f young men comprising the Summer on graded school baseball team, ac ~ompanied by a large number of spon ors and rooters, defeated the team of he Sumter High School by a scare of LO to 1. The Summerton boys were nuch older and larger than their op >onents, and outclassed them at every ~tage of the game. Sumter never had a ~hance to win. The visitors were well coached, and an bases like professionals, and took dvantage of the weakness of the home ~eam at second base. It was surprising o see the swiftness of the infield. and ~he accuracy and speed with whbich the >al was thrown. -.* .- . - It is difficult to select frote the Gum nerton team any one or two partice: aly brilliant players, for they were. ti stars. For Sumter, Jones caught as )eautiful game and Burgess played ell at third. If Sumter had a good coach the home eam could give the Summerton boys Srace for the game.

April 28. A Good Citizen Killed. The electric storm of last Friday de troyed the life of M1r. MIilton H. Lack y, one of the best young citizens of he 'Paxville section of this county:~ ~hriftv and highly esteemed. He wasi n his way home' from Paxville, and iad just given instructions to a plow nan in his field: his wife was standing n the piazza watching his approach. md she saw the bolt which struck him iown. Mrs Lackey ran to him,and sent or a doctor, but i't was all in vamn, life as extinct, The deceased was 34 years >f age. a devoted wife and two children urvive him. He was a Woodmen. The uneral took place last Saturday after oon at Home Branch church.~ There as assembled the entire multitude to nanifest their sympathy for the be eaved family. and their high esteem or the dead. Rev.-Tolar conduct Smmerton Doped 4gain. The Summerton and Manning teans went up against each other last Thurs day, and although the score board wa; kept busv the game was enjoyed b3 the lovers of ball. The Manning tear should have been ashamed of itself foi treating their visitors so, after the3 had only consented to come as a matter of accommodation tc relieve the disap pointment caused by Welsh Neck High school team's failure to specify. In base ball, however, there are no blush es to waste, its blood they want, and blood they will have if they can make the fans operate, and the bread-rakes hold the sphere. In this game that little word of two letters "if" made a lucky turn in the wheel of chance for Manning. Appelt was given a ball tc suit his appetite, and what he did for it can only be toldiby the little coon whc watched it sailing away over the fence, and then went after, and hunted for it as if he -.as hunting for an easter egg: while this was going on, a regular pro cession went around the bases scoring three runs. In another inning Brouth ers got hungry also, and he too made history repeat itself by showing Sam merton's team how pretty a ball looks going over the fence. Nelson and Mathis of the Summerton team caught some pretty flies, and Belser Irwin made the most difficult catch of the game, it was a foul fly. Manning battery did good work, in the begining,Odiorne, somehow or oth er could not get his cud of tobacco ad justed and his pitching was a little tainted,but when he got warmed up he made the Summerton boys look like waiters at a hotel table brushing flies. There were errors made, but many features of the game on both sides were good. The gate receipts $40.75. The official score follows: MANNING. AB. R. BH. E.
