Fine games are quite a rarity j ] in this city, and our people appreciate f j the hard work of the husky baseball a _ players in giving them entertainment. Laurens came in on Sunday with determination to win written on their countev nauces. The first game was a disappoint- 1 ment. Giuger was lackiug and fast ball * a playing was not in evidence. The crowd 1 v was small; let this serve as an explana- * tion for the slow game. Wilcox was not * ' in as good condition as might be looked e for from an old Augusta twirler. You- < mans, for the home team, has been seen i- in much better form than that in which 1 ?, he appeared on Monday. The following j r. is the score by innings: > it Bamberg, 2 0 4 0 0 1 0 0 0?7 5 8 Laurens, 1 0000300 1?5 ! 3. * ' * * .e Tuesday afternoon's game was a better ! f exhibition of ball playing. While all of < \ the runs scored by Laurens were made on errors, snappier ball was played by < A both teams. Sanders was in the box for i 5 Bamberg, and pitched what should have < been a shut-out game, while Harrison did the twirling for the visitors. The final i n score was 13 to 3 in Bamberg's favor, i * Youmaus in center field made two seusae tional catches, as fine as we have ever : D seen, and he made several good hits, one u- over the fence and another to deep ceuter, 58 both being good for two bags. He is an ie all-round good player. Holland did his usual fine playing at first. Henderson for Laurens made a beautiful catch in te left field, and Sorentrue caught in fine ly style. Felder also did good work behind to the bat for Bamberg, while the two ie Brabhams played especially well, al The third and last game with Laurens ly will take place this (Wednesday) aftere, noon, and there will probably be two to more games here to-morrow and Friday, in when the St. George team will face the ' locals.

Mr. Harris in Portland. Hon. C. W. Garris, chairman of the oard of railroad commissioners of South arolina, recently attended the meeting f the National Association of Railroad ommissioners at Portland, Maine. He ?ad a paper before the body on uniform lassification and took a decided position gainst the idea. He made a strong rgument, and although the positiou he ssumed was entirely new to the.associaon, he converted many of them to his 'ay of thinking, This matter of uni)riu classification of rates is one of great iterest to the whole country, and both ae national association and inter-state ommerce commission have heretofore ndorsed the idea. But Mr. Harris's apef* made them view the subject in a itt'erent light, and he was highly comlimented by the Portland papers on his peech. His speech was published allost in full in one of the daily papers, nd a handsome editorial notice was iven him by the Portland Evening Impress, which is as follows: 44 Commissioner Garris of South Caro oa bad tbe courage of bis convictions i bis bgbt against all precedent on tbe latter of uniform classibcation,bcfore tbe onventiou yesterday. Tbe Soutb Caromian believes tbatl ocal conditions must overc tbe making of rates, and tbat it i absurd, for instance, to demand tbe ame rate for moviug cotton in New England tbat may obtain in Texas. Tbe aterestiug part of tbe incident, so far as tie general public is coucerned, is tbe act tbat single banded and alone be ared to bgbt a position tbat bas been laintaiued for more tban a dozen years y the inter-state commerce commission, nd by tbe convention of railroad comlissioners for almost as loug a time. II e did not win converts enough tochauge lie attitude of tbe convention yesterday, e did make an impression, and next ear be will be likely to make it more eeply still." Bamberg's Seconds Defeated. On last Wednesday afternoon the ecoud team of Orangeburg defeated a imilar team of this city. Tbe game bough not largely attended was one ol be prettiest seen on tbe local diamond bis season. Tbe borne team allowed the isitors to gain a lead in tbe early partol be game which could not be overtaken, icbiffley, who did the catching for the Irangeburg boys, caught a very pretty ame. Jennings for Bamberg, was too rild as a pitcher, but at times be showed i?at pould null himself out of a hole, 'be game should have bad a much large] ttendauce as a witness. The score was to 1 in favor of Orangeburg. At Professor Sheridan's. On last Wednesday night at Prof iberidan's residence on Carlisle street here was a most enjoyable sociable. Th< ttendauce was one of the largest seen at ,uything of the kind this summer; not ?nly was the crowd large but the time lad was also a big one. The young met vho made up the Oraugeburg seconc earn were present, and with the aid o! Bamberg's pretty girls they were madet< eel at home. Many games were playec ind enjoyed. Summer School.

The negro ^ from Lodge then went home aud got his white friends to come and arrest the negro 7 from here, but didn't tell the other negroes at the church what he was up to, aud " when the white men made their appearance there a small crowd of negroes got J* together and the whites would have " fared badly if some of the older aud n cooler heads among the negroes hadn't a interfered. In the meantime the negro a from here fled, and must be fleeing yet, as nothing has been heard from him up to u this writing.

Last Thursday has come and gone and the old town is still doing business at the old stand. The 1 .crowd began to arrive before breakfast J and continued until nearly 1,000 people were present. It was a beautiful day, the only discomforts being the heat and dust. Mr. E. T. LaFitte, of Denmark, made a nice address, and Holmes' band from Charleston discoursed sweet music. Promptly at 1 o'clock the large bell of Messrs. 0. Ehrhardt & Sons was rung, g, and the vast throng repaired to the, ? tables in the large grove in front of the residence of Mr. C. Ehrhardt and did ample justice to the tempting viands spread thereon. After everyone had * satisfied their appetites we had some more m music, and then everbody enjoyed them- w< i selves as best tbey might by talking, tri promenading, visiting the soda fountains d< where cold drinks of all kinds were 01 i served in a manner to satisfy the most \\ fastidious. At 5 o'clock the whole 3 crowd betook themselves to the baseball m grounds, where in battle array stood tb Kearse pitted against Branchville. At 0, 1 5.15 Umpire Bitter gave the order and u Kearse's twirler let go with his left and ^ two of Branchville's men clawed the tfl , circle and bit the dust; the third was more successful and Branchville scored. ^ i Eearse failed to cross the coveted spot ti until the third inning and got in 3 more p i runs in the fourth. Branchville had got ^ i in two more runs, and at the beginning of ^ i the 5th inning the score stood 4 to 3 for q i Kearse. The game was without note un- p til the 8th inning, when errors and a lost i ball gave Branchville 6 runs more in the , 8th and 9th innings. Kearse came to the a, bat and errors and fumbled balls gave e; ' them 5 runs in the two last innings. The a score was thus 9 to 9 when the game j , ended and could not be continued, as Q i some of the players were obliged to leave. n ! They have arranged to meet at Howell's ? old mill and play another game soon. ^ The Branchville boys are jolly, manly a fellows, and play good, clean ball. The ^ ; game was quiet except for the "rooters." ^ [ We come now to the last act and the cur- 'j? , tain will go down on July 23rd, 1903. At p r 9.30 o'clock Holmes's band marched into n I I. D.
