William Preston Dowling died sud. denl}' yesterday at 11 a. m., at bis residence, 192 St. Philip street. Dr. Dowling had been unwell for several weeks, but , his condition was not deemed serious and his death was unexpected. His wife is very ill at the Infirmary and has not been ' apprised of his death. Dr. Dowling was born July 18,1832. in Barnwell county. He was a surgeon in the Confederate army, and settled in Charleston soon after the war. He was one of the prominent representatives of the conservative citizenship of this community, and no man could say aught against his integrity and probity. He lived a quiet and useful life and was esteemed . and honored by all who knew him. Dr. Dowling leaves a son, Mr. W. P. Dowling, Jr., and his widow lies near death's door in the Infirmary. < The body will be taken to Springtown, ( Bamberg county, at 7 a. m. to-day, where j it will be interred in the family burying < grouud. Services were conducted at the i house at 0 p. m., yesterday, by the Rev. 1 L. M. Roper, paster of the Spring Street t Methodist churcfi?Charleston Sunday ( News, July 12. r Aiken Wins One Game. i The last game of the series between 1 Bamberg and Aiken was played here ( Wednesday afternoon of last week, and 1 Aiken won by a score of 6 to 0. Our boys were in no condition to play, as they were 1 tired from the games of Tuesday after- 1 noon and Wednesday morning. Brabham, our catcher, was disabled early in the game, and Laval, who had pitched in * the morning and was not in the afternoon's game, had to go behind the bat. Then, too, Bohler pitched a fine game for s Aiken, and although our boys had batted . him heavily during the few innings he ' had pitched in the morning, they were not able to connect with his balls in the afternoon. The Aiken boys had no difficulty in finding Cameron, our twirler, and hits were plentiful. Bamberg has ? a stronger team than Aiken, but the defeat was due to a combination of circum- 1 stances which no one could foresee. However, it was very well that Aiken got one 13 game out of the three. ^m i New Advertisements. v BAMBERG PRESSING CLUB. Mr. H. G.

A. BYRD. ii ^ V Baseball This Week. * The loug-looked-for games between Orangeburg and Bamberg have been c played this week. Monday afternoon the fi first game of the series had to be called at si the end of the fourth inning on account 1< of rain. The game gave signs of being h an interesting contest when the rain came up. The locals were just beginning * to play ball in great shape when Orange- o burg's delivery from defeat made them h defer the chastisement. Sanders was in n the box for the Edisto boys and Laval for Bamberg. Both men were at their best, n neither having yielded but two hits in the c four innings played. si * \i * * Tuesday afternoon's garaee was attendKt a Iomto pri>u.'<i and although our ; VU MJ l? IMtgv v? v?? % ) Orangeburg friends seemed confident of v' winning the game, our fast aggregation j? showed them a thing or two. Gilland was iu in the box for the visitors, and & hits were as plentiful as June bugs last ^ month. Holtzclaw pitched for Bamberg 0 until the beginning of the eighth inning, when Laval was put iu the box. The g consequence was that Orangeburg failed to score afterwards. Norvell caught a a, beautiful game for Bamberg, but was ^ hurt by running into a bench after a foul fly during the eighth inning. Qlaze, Or- 0 angebnrg's centre fielder, made some ^ beautiful running catches, while Soren- sj true did fine work behind the bat. Bam- ^ berg expects to go to Oraugeburg to play ^ two games on Thursday and Friday of M this week. A number of Orangeburg visitors were among the spectators.

[ Bamberg bids fair to get up consider- i able interest on the question of whether s hogs shall be kept out of towu or not. c There is now an ordinance which provides that no hogs shall be kept in town from 1 Anril to October, and as this was con- ? stantly being violated, so much so that it was almost a dead letter, city council at a i recent meetiug, upon the recommendation of the city board of health, passed to } its first reading an ordinance forbidding hogs being kept in towu at any season of i the year. We understand that this action was not popular, and much opposition to { the ordinance developed. i At the meeting of council Tuesday afternoon of last week our information 1 was that the ordinance passed a second J reading, aud we so published, but it seems i that our information was incorrect, for 1 the ordinance was killed on the second 1 reading, couucil holding the idea that the present ordinance was sufficient if prop- 1 erly enforced, which they proposed to do. 1 This last action of the city fathers is not popular either, and last week Mr. H. ' : J. Brabham circulated a petition asking that the ordinance forbidding the keeping of hogs in town at anytime be passed. He ! . secured a uumber of signatures of our 1 . most prominent and influential citizens, l and this petition will be presented to council at its next meeting. i I M Come to see me w ^ St G.

BrakchvilLe, July 13.?Branchville met defeat iu their struggle on the diamond last Tuesday afternoon with the Orangeburg amateurs. While the scores were a little heavy on both sides, the game was interesting throughout, and not until the ending of the ninth inning was the Orangeburg team confident of victory. Sorentrue did some good pitching for firanorphnrcr The hatteries were: Branch v o" " ' ville, Jack9on, Crum and Pearlstine; Orangeburg, Sorentrue and Schiffley. The Branchville literary and social circle temporarily reorganized this week for the ostensible purpose of withdrawing a certain sum which was deposited in the bank about ten years ago by the old organization. This money will be apaplied to the school library. The board of health is seriously haudicapped in their efforts to better the sanitary condition of the town by the fact that they lack the enforcing power aud are not sufficiently supported by the town council. This i9 one of the greatest drawbacks to the regulation of any system, and we understand the reason for this non-support is because the council does not want to hurt the feelings of anyone. We submit this is a poor and flimsy reason, and is rather a confession of weakness than of inability to execute the orders of the board. The board of health can and ought to be supreme within the scope of their powers, so long as they act impartially for the general good. Crops in this section were in excellent condition up tc Thursday morning's rain, but now it is feared grass will have full sway. Protracted meetings are being conducted at the Methodist church this week by thepastor, Rev. S. A. Nettles. With the revenue which this town receives from the dispensary, from licenses, and from street taxes, we can afford to , have a modern sewerage system, and nothing short of that ought to suffice. In two years the council has almost paid up for the city hall and it will be a waste of time and monev to exoend the funds in opening ditches and'laying terra cotta piping without regard to any system and the slope of the country. There is only j one perfect way, and that is to employ the services of a competent civil engineer I who can study thoroughly the declivity of the country and point out a way to effectively drain the town. For years they have been actually trying to force water up grade, contrary to all laws of nature. W? would suggest a public meeting of the cftizens who can discuss this matter intelligently and send in a petition to the council. Charles Eady, colored, will have to face Judge Byrd Wednesday night on the charge of interfering with the marshal in the performance of his duties. Charles is an old offender, and he seems to be as fortunate as poor old "Happy Hooligan" in always-having to pay a penalty for his misdeeds.

Hartzoo, July 14.?Mr. Editor, your correspondent from this place, Mr. J*. W. Rhoad, has gone to the Yankee saw mill at Ashepoo for his health, and I write to ask you for his job of putting the people's names in your paper until he comes back rejuvenated, and if I can get it I will begin slinging ink right now. Well, to begin with we have had one protracted meeting, and are expecting another one, but before I say anything about matters religious, let me tell you that the last man to do the Locbinvar act was Mr. Ben Black. He swooped down upon the quiet little town of Smoaks on last Saturday and plucked therefrom one of her most charming maidens, Miss Leila Stoudenmire. The two were reduced to one by that mathematically perfect devine, the Rev. McFarland,and Ben, faithful to his vow to forsake all others and cleave unto her alone, forsook Mr. Abe Steedley, who had gone in his buggy with him, and drove home bringing hts beautiful blushing bride. I don't kuow how Abe got home. On Monday night the denizens of our town turned out and. serenaded the new couple. Music was rendered by the Hartzog circular saw and blowing horn association, while the rural town ra-ra club made the racket in great shape. The dam across Mr. J. H. Smith's mill pond was demolished on last Saturday night. It was done either by a freak of nature or some party bent on mischief, but the prevailing opinion among conservative people is thatthe weather bureau is responsible for the damage this time. However it was accomplished, the fact remains that the traveling public are put to great inconvenience on account of the washout, as it will probably be months before any carriages can cross the dam. Our public roads generally are in very bad shape, and no one "apparently" looks after them. La-accoon. A man was operated on Sunday, in Chicago, for appendicitis and it was found after the operation that he was suffering from ptomaine poison from eating ice cream.
