Lawson was down at Carter's Ford. On account of the absence of Rev. M. W. Hook, there will be no preaching at the Methodist church for the next two Sundays.

It is said that there have been 225 cars of eanteloupes shipped from Blackville this seasou. Mr. J. C. Folk, Jr., has leased Mr. G. P. Harmon's plantation and will have charge of it next year. Good qualities and low prices meet by appointment at Quattlebauui & Danuelly's every day in the year. The crop outlook in this section is exceedingly gloomy just now. Many people who ought to know say that not moie than half of an average cotton crop will I W IllUUV. Everything that G. Frank Bamberg has in stock is new and up-to-date. No old style vehicles carried over from year to year. They are bought right, too, and are going to be sold at prices that defy competition. The first bale of cotton for this season was hauled to town Tuesday afternoon to be ginned. It will be ginued and put on the market to-day. It was raised by Abe Simmons, a colored man who lives on Hon. II. C. Folk's place a few miles below town. County Chairman Folk would like for the various club presidents throughout : the county to semi him in at once the names of the managers of the primary i election for their clubs. He must publish a notice calling attention to the election, and in order to do this he must have names for managers at every club in the county. Only one set of managers is necessary, as State, county, and congres- 1 sional candidates are all voted for in one 1 box. ! Social and Otherwise. ] BLACKVILLE MEETS WITH DEFEAT. j The Blackville base ball team may be < very warm, but the Bamberg team is 1 something hot. It was no more than was J expected when Blackville put up a good 1 game on list Wednesday because the}' < always have a good team. But even with 1 this strong team they were not able to 1 out do the Bamberg boys. Blackville J sent down a large delagation of rooters 1 and they also turned out to be good, earn- \ est sympathizers. They happened to be on the wrong side and had few chances s for showing their enthusiasm. Bamberg gained a big lead of five runs in their half 1 of the first inning, from which handicap the Blackville boys never were able to get from under. Boylston began the twirling for Blackville, and was an easy mark for the home team. He was taken j out after the first inning. Strobel was ( substituted in his place and pitched a | good game, allowing Bamberg to score j only three times. Brabham A. and C. j did good battery work. Hoffman played ( a good second, and Move did the same at j first. Bamberg H. made a beautiful catch t in center, cuttiug off a hit; his backing j of second base was fine. Brabham V. * ~ ? i * I covered the short field in nuesnape, uav- j ing four chances and accepting them all j without an error. The batting of the Bamberg boys was heavy and timely, j gettiughits just when needed. The game , was called at the end of the eight inniug. ( Brabham C. sutaiued an injury which j forced him from the game; besides this j darkness came on, and the game was . given to Bamberg by a score of eight to j four. Score by innings: I Bamberg 5 0 0 2 0 1 0 0?8 . I Blaekville 0 10 10 11 0-4 Batteries: for Bamberg, Brabham A. s and C.; for Blaekville, Boylstou, Strobel J and Felder. , The Bamberg boys are in fine shape ' now, having one of the best.teams in this { section of the State. We can have some , good games if the people will help us. j Communications are being received every ( few days from teams which have been j playing good ball asking for series of , games, but on account of financial con- j ditiou of the Association, the games can- j not be arranged. Such teams as Asheville, Bennettsville, and Beaufort have asked ( for games, but we need the money, and ( this we haven't got. DECEPTION. j Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Hair were the givers ! of a most enjoyable reception on lust Wednesday evening from nine until ' twelve o'clock at tbeir home on Railroad Avenue. Many beautiful gowns, as well as the faces of some of Bamberg's loveliest women, were to be seen. Each moment j of the reception was an enjoyment in , itself. The couples were matched off by , numbers. First the young men were given hearts with numbers and peanuts j attached to each, after which the young | ladies were given the same, their nuniDers ] corresponding to those of the young j gentlemen. In this way the couples were paired off and were invited into an adjoining room where the novel game of ( wasplayed. Mr.C. R.Brabham,.Jr., won the first prize, this being a gold scarf pin. Mr. F. W. Free was awarded the booby. Refreshments were served in a most tasteful and pleasing manner. Mr. J. Norman Walker was the toast master of the occasion. Those present were: Misses Hays, Bamberg E., Brabham, Black L., Efooton F., Johnson R., Bamberg L., Black M., Hooton M., Johnson, Move, Easterling, O'Neil, Eaves, of Bamberg; Stansell, of Elko; Mixon, of Allendale; Abbie and Margaret Hair, of Blackville; Tillman, of .

On Tuesday Bamberg was once more successful, defeating Branchville by the score of fifteen to six. The Branchville boys did not "play together" at any time of the game. Bamberg, as usual, made a lead in the first inning, pushing three men across home plate before the Branchville team was conscious of what was hunnpiiincr Branchville scored in only o two innings, making one in the second and tive in the seventh. The game was not fast and was rather a disappointment to the spectators. Fairy W. for Branchville pitched a good game, but the support received was very poor. Bamberg's team played together and this probably accounts for the result. Score by innings: R. H. E.

SOCIAL GATHERINGS. * There was a pleasant sociable given T last week at Mr. J. C. Moye's home. On ' account of the threatening weather a large crowd did not attend. i Q/1 Tuesday evening the social meeting 1 of the EpiV.orth League look place at Mr. - Kirsch's on Raijrcad Avenue. A large r crowd attended and enjoyed themselves i very much. The game of "flarlt-vjuiu" was first played. Miss Florrie Brabham - received the first prize, a (lower vase, and y Mr. Clinton Dickinson the consolation, a ,- beautiful cotton handkerchief, of the basho ful color, red. Then the game of ConunX drums had its turn. Miss Iuez Brabham y won the young ladies' prize, and Mr. S. r ts. Pearlstine .the young gentlemen's. The it Brauchville bovs remained over from the ball game apd took in the occ&?jq&. Campaign Meeting. The date for the county campaign meeting at Denmark has been fixed, and it will beheld on Friday,the 15th instant. County Chairman Folk was notified to this effect Tuesday bv Mr. J. S. J. Faust, secretary of the Denmark Democratic club. It was stated that the meeting would be held at Denmark, and we presume this means it is to be held in the town. All the candidates for county offices will no doubt be present, and an interesting day maybe expected. Fire Monday Morning. Last Monday morning about two n.? oiorm nf firp was sounded, the cj luu aim u4 v _ flames being located in the barn and stables belonging to Mrs. Antley. The tire soon caught Dr. D. W.JSarton's barn, and it was also destroyed. "The livestock, buggies, etc., were saved, but a lot of oats and other stock food was burned with the buildings. Mrs Antley's insurance was $200, and Dr. Barton's $400, which it is thought will cover each loss. It is not known how the fire originated. New Advertisements. vacant scholarship. Attention is directed to the ad. in another column giving notice of one vacant beneficiary scholarship in the Citadel at Charleston. Here is a chance for some bright young man. Marriage in Charleston. Just one week ago at the home of the brides' parents at 51 Wentworth street, Charleston, Mr. W. T. "Weekley and Miss Salley Rowe were happily married by Rev. Dr. Jno. Johnson, of St. Philips Episcopal church. About three dozen relatives and very special friends were present. The bride was handsomely iressed in a french blue silk en train, lolding a bunch of pink carnations which reflected the colors from her cheeks as veil as the trimmings of her robe. Cake ind wine was handed and pleasant toasts vere giveu until the carriage bore the aappy couple to the railroad, where they started for Washington, Trenton, Buffalo, tfew York, and other points. They will nake Spartanburg their future home. They were the recipients of many handsome and useful presents, mostly silver. May they always be as happy as they ooked on "the 31st. One Present. A Stricken Family. This entire community was terribly shocked on Wednesday morning when ;he news was spread that Bennie Sanlifer was dead! It was almost impossible ;o realize that he, who had been so recenty mingling with friends in the bloom of > > > ? -j nealth and }roung mannooci, aau ciusseu nver the river." But that dreaded disease, Hemorrhagic fever, had done its work in :hree days in spite of all that loving lauds and medical skill could do. Just Hue short year ago his ouly sister, a most ovable character aud person died.both be,ng just tweuty two years old, when they died, aud one year previous to her death, ;heyoungest brother, about fifteen or sixteen years of age, was taken ; thus in ;hree years the rod of affliction has fallen Heavily on the mother, she having now lost all of her children, not one left to say 'ma !" Mrs. Smoak is a most exemplary aiother, ami the blow falls heavily on tier. Her first husband, the father of these children, died some years ago. Beunie Sandifer was an unusually handsome young man, courteous to all, of most excellent, unblemished moral character, rnd above all a christian gentleman. His pastor said he had never heard one word igaiust him in all his life. How many young men can that be said of? A dutiful, loving sou has gone, but he will be "at ;be beautiful gate, waiting and watching" for the coming of his mother. The spacious Springtown church was filled uid there were few dry eyes in the assemblage which attested his popularity. We would admonish all the young men if the community to emulate the example if this noble young man. R. Dou't let auy one talk you into buying anything but the Rock Hill buggy.

Fodder pulling is the order of the day around here, and we have fine weather to save it now. Don't let any one talk you into buying any thing but the Rock Hill buggy. Don't take anything they claim to be ' as good." Nineteen Hundred Liars. Many of our older people remember that good and rather quaint man, the Rev. J. Wesley Barr, who wras wont in every praver, to utter this chunk of wisdom : "Let us thank God that it is as well with us as it is." Many of our older people remember, too, when Wess ran for clerk of the court. Edgefield was a tremendous county in those days and Wess. was energetic and indefatigable in canvassing; and his plan, unwise as it turned out, was to pop it to every man in tbiswTay: "Will you vote for me when ? a1 A m am Kai n rr tI16 lime COIIieS : uu^cuciu uitu wiug born polite, every man of course said: "Yes, certainly." And then Wess, straightway put his name down in a little book. A tew days before the election the Rev. Mr. Ban's little book contained the names of 2.200 highly respectable citizens of Edgefield. And Wess. was peaceful and jubilant, and to use oue of his own revival phrases, considered himself as "safely lauded on the banks of sweet deliverance." But when the election was over and the votes were counted, Wess, had got only three hundred votes. Then Wess. used some words known only in profane history, and cried out: "CJreal Scott, just to think there are nineteen hundred such infernal liars iu Edgefield county!" See ??Edgefield Chronicle.

Branchville, August 5.?Branchville had the fortune of meeting Orangeburg on their grounds last Tuesday and played a hot aud exciting game of twelve innin gs. The game was interesting and encouraging for Branchville in the beginning, but the benefit of close decisions given to the borne team discouraged our boys somewhat. Sorentrue, for Orangeburg, was knocked out in the fourth inning, and Glaze was substituted, who kept down the scores. A series of five games will be played, and Branchville will endeavor to win the majority. Fairey was in fine trim and pitched an excellent game. Score by innings: Branchville, 2 0 041000000 0?7 Orangeburg, 0 1 041001000 1?8 Batteries: Orangeburg, Sorentrue, Glaze and Hydrick; Branchville, Fairey aud Pearlstine. Umpire?Mr. Jno. Fairey. Thursday the boys went to St. George with the intention of "wiping them up," but when their pride "Hac" Walker, was placed in the box, our boys became nervous. He struck out the first three men that came up to the plate, but the boys finally succeeded in crossing five men. This was an ideal game, as the score will show, and Branchville did not make an error.

Your correspondent has received thf following letter from the University of Virginia: "I write to make the personal appeal that you will use every effort at your command to induce some one to cpme to the University who might otherwise be lost to us. You have been here, are familiar with the life of the student, and I have no doubt can speak with enthusiasm of the University of Virginia. You know also the honest work that is being done here. You know the standing of our graduates. If each of our boys of last year would do his best to induce someone else to come to this institution the ensuing session, our numbers would be materially increased. Let me hear from you on receipt of this, send me any names of prospective students, and understand that I charge you with the duty to your Alma Mater of bringing at least one new student with you when you return.

An exciting game of base-ball was played here on Saturday afternoon between the colored teams of Branchville and St.-George. The greatest diffienlty seems to have been after the game with the "scoremens," which finally decided the number of scores by a compromise, 1 giving Branchville seven and Georges six.

Wiltse, in the July Lippin- 1 cott's: Down in Georgia, according to r my friend Captain Lyerly, who ought to j know, lives a man who is noted for his love of ease, but whose wife is sufficiently a hustler to almost make up for his chronic disinclination to activity. One cold night he weut to bed, leaving some bags of grain out of doors which should have been placed in the barn for protection against the weather, to say nothing o: thieves. But then, they don't have many thieves in Georgia. During the night the hero of this story . awoke and thought that he heard something which sounded like rain. He was anxious to know whether it was raining or not, for if it were he wanted an opportunity to worry about that grain, or perhaps hint to his wife and then go to sleep while she slipped out and attended to it. He thought the matter over for some time and then hunched the good woman. "Nancy!" "What is it, John." "Is it rainin'?" "I don't know, John." "I wish I knew." "Why don't you get up and see then?" "I hate to; I'm just awful sleepy." ; "Well, then, go to sleep and never mind." "W-all, I'd like to know. Hit's right important." i.rni ,1 jy "men go auu see. "You go, won't you, Nancy?" "No, I won't-so now, you lazy thing, you!" John lay and reflected for some minutes, then awoke his wife again and said: "I'll tell ye what ye might do, Nancy. Ye might git up an' let the dog out. He'll bark fer a minit er two an then whine ter git back in. Ye c'n let 'im in an' then feel o' him, an'if hit's a-rainin' he'll be wet, an' if hit ain't he won't be, an' then hit'll be all right."
