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. !

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,

ONCE MOKE VICTORIOUS.
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:

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.

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

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.

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 Brevities.
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.

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. The features of the game were the

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.
P. S. The recent rains have brought
out the new athletic field until it is a
beauty. The new running track has been
graded, and the fence, a solid white oak
structure, is almost completed."

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.
We have been getting rain now almost
1 every afternoon since last week. S. S. P.
Don't let any one talk you into buying

The western senator had the floor, it
was a great speech and good, and pictured
* in glowing colors Nevada's future if only
' men would be wise in their generation
r and make the appropriation for irrigation,
i He left nothing unsaid. He defied argument
and finally concluded by declaring
[ solemnly:
* "In fact, gentlemen, all Nevada needs
i is more water and better society." Where*
upon Mr. Fesseuden observed :
r "I would like to remiud the gentleman
, ffpni the west that that is all hell needs."?

Dos: as Weather Messenger.
Henry M. 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."

A Weak
Stomach
Indigestion Is often caused by overeating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thu9 exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don'toverload
the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces
