Fort Mill Beat* Cherokee*.
Aided by the heavy hitting and
the good all-round work of his!
teammates, Jesse Price, one of;
the best amateur pitchers in this
section of the State, sent the
classy Cherokee Indian team back
to their wigwam with all the war
paiat rubbed off their faces last
Thursday afternoon. The Indians
came to town with the expectation
of duplicating the victories
which they had scored over Rock
Hill and Yorkville a day or two
previous, but there was nothing
to it- -thpy were up against the
real thing in this little old town.
The Fort Mill boys showed early
in the game that if another scalp
was to dangle at the belt of the
redskins they would have to go
elsewhere to secure it. Score:
TWill 1 PliorAl/nfla A
Probajbly the largest crowd that
ever witnessed a ball game in
Fort Mill turned out to see
the contest Thursday afternoon.
The Indians came with a record
of having won a long string of
victories, but this did not deter
the fatjs from encouraging the
locals by the most persistent
"rootipg" ever heard on a ball
field hereabouts. And as if to
show their appreciation of the
hearty support given them, the
locals got busy at once and by
the end of the sixth inning had
sent seven runners across the
pan. The best the Indians could
do ur to the ninth was to register
three times, but by a succession
of errors in the !*ist frame they
made three more. The victory
of the locals was due in a large
measure to the unmerciful swatting
of the ball, every man on
the home team with one exception
hitting the ball over the
fence. Ground rules, however,
allowed only one base on a ball
over the fence. The Indians, on
the other hand, could do nothing
with the twisters served by Price,
and but for the errors of the
locals would not have scored
more than a pair. E. S. Parks
caught his first game of the
season and did good work.
The game Thursday night was
a farce, but was played before a !
large crowd, due to the novelty j
of baseball by electric light. Indians

The News of Gold Hill.
Gold Hill, Aug 3. ?Life on the
farm is nearing its best. The
crops are "laid by," the watermelons
ripe and, in short, everybody
is moving smoothly. We
wish to -congratulate the neighbor
who was so fortunate as to
live on the dividing iine of the
Fort Mill-Gold Hill rains and
thereby received a two-fold share
of the spring rains, on having
defeated almost the entire forces
of "General Green." He now |
has his crop in excellent condition
and is blessing his stars
that it was no worse.
The young folks are spending
the afternoons in playing tennis
and at other pleasant pastimes.
Messrs. Bishop and Mann and
Miss Mason Blankenship, of
Union, are visiting relatives and
friends here.
Miss Roberta Bradley, of
Bishopville, and Miss Alda Therrell,
of the Pleasant Valley section,
have been secured to fill
the places in the Gold Hill school
which were made vacant a few
weeks ago when the formerly
elected teachers resigned. The
school opened today.
A great deal of interest is being
taken in the protracted
meeting at Flint Hill.
Quite a number of our people
attended the Farmers' Institute
at Pleasant Valley last Thursday.
