F. Dickson, two children, the youngest
an infant, an aged mother and several
brothers and sisters. The deceased
was one of Clarendon's most beautiful
and lovable daughters. 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Appelt's name be withdrawn from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.
The line up was as follows:

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.
