SUFFERS (KISHIXG DEFEAT. i
Exhibition (?anu* With .Springfield 1 Je- I
suits Disastrously.
Manager Thomas's 'boys suffered
one ot' their most crushing defeats
of the season Thursday afternoon at
Rhcad park at. the hands of the
Springfield team in an exhibition
game which we take pleasure
in announcing did not
counjt in the league standing.
The final score of the catastrophe
was 6 to 0. The Springfield
team completely outclassed the
loeal boys in every department of
play, and Pollock with his wide cornfield
out curve had ti.em eaung from
his hand. Xo less than five double
plays were pulled off by the winners
and no such great exhibition of ball
playing has been furnished by any
visiting team at Rhoad park this year.
Every break went against the Bamberg
team, but to give credit where
it is due, it must be said that some of
those breaks were superinduced by
exremely brilliant fielding on the part
A the visiters. They were in mo
game from start to finish, every man

fielder, being at his best, and apparently
having never felt better in his
life. They came with blood in their
eyes to get revenge for the defeat administered
to them in Springfield two
weeks ago by the local team, and
sweet revenge it was. <
The visitors began the agony by
slamming Kitts's offerings'to all corrers
of the lot, an uncomfortable number
of hits and one error netting
them four tallies in the first round. 1
In this inning the visiting team had
each man to take his turn at bat,
four runs coming over, three outs and
two men left on bases They followed
this up throughout the game with
fielding that woud lick any team in
the world under a four run handicap.
If Springfield did not play above form
in this game they have the best amateur
ball team in South^ Carolina.
They also continued their smashing
drives and forced Kitts to retire after
the fourth tragedy. The home -boys
did not play a bad fielding game, but
no ball game can be put on the right
side of the ledger without a run and
precious few will go there with a to- 1
tal of four widely scattered bingles.
There's the secret of our downfall in
this game, but probably the batting
slump is over now and the home
hopes can be confidently counted upon
to make some good pitchers feel
cheap before many more games are
entered on the pages of athletic his- j
tory. "Gyp" Rentz earned more laurels
tor himself by a dandy catch of a
foul right at the visitors' bench and,
too, got one of the four hits off stingy
Pollock. Schultz pitched fine ball
after relieving Kitts in the fifth inning.
And the entire visiting team
starred. Only one hom? player
reached third. Score by innings:
Springfield .400 100 001 6 10 2
Bamberg 000 000 000 0 4 3
Batteries: Pollock and Boylston;
Schultz and Kitts.

NEGRO KILLS TWO.
______
Joshua Williams Kills Wife and
Wife's Aunt.
Two were killed and one mortally i
wounded on last Monday afternoon .
' when Joshua Williams, colored, ran
amuck and slaughtered his wife and
his wife's aunt and shot a negro man
N ^ named Henry Roberts through the
neck and shoulder. Roberts is still
alive but with little hopes of recovery.
There were no eye witnesses except
two or three small children and
the details are very conflicting as
given by parties who were on hand
after the killing. It seems, however,
that Williams was of a very weak
mind and was given to spells of temporary
abberation, and it-is thought
i' " . that the slaughter occurred during
one of these attacks. v
The details of the manner im which
he killed his wife and others is very
- harrowing. It is said that he first
crushed his wife's head with an axe
/ then laid her on a bed and shot her
five times through the body. This
is the information gained from two
of his children who were present at
the time of the crime. He then ran
down the old aunt of his wife, a very
old woman of about seventy-five and
shot her down in the road. He then
walked up the road to the house of
Henry Roberts where he found the
latter sitting at the table eating.
s He proceeded to shoot him, firing
only one shot, it seems.
The wholesale killing was committed
'just over the line in Allendale
county, near Martin, but it was
1--J * /-v cvri ff TCftVS
nrst ryyui tt/u tu _
Sanders, of Barnwell county, who
C with his deputies rushed to the scene
of the crime. Sheriff Bennett, of
Allendale, was then notified and ?.
reached the place just a little later.
In the meantime, however, Joshua
had been making good time to a
place of safety, thus showing considerably
more intelligence than he
is given credit for having. A posse
of men from Allendale and Barnwell
spent the entire night searching the
swamps for the man but were
> unsuccessful. They were so hot on
his trail, though, that Josh decided
that discretion was the better part
of valor and taking the train at
~nelling he went to arnwell and
gave himself up to Jailor Main. A
party lookii.g for Williams passed
tkrougn Snelling at the time he was
there waiting for the train but they
were so sure that he would not come
out in the open that they didn't think
or^insT to thft denot to look for
auuui. buius vV ?
him. They had found out, through J
a nephew of his, that he was trying
to make his way to the home of his
brother, Henry Williams, near Barnwell
and were following that trail.
Sheriff Bennet went to .the Barnwell
county jail and talked with Williams.
The sheriff says that he is
apparently without . intelligence as
he would answer none of his questions
and acted very strangely. It
seems that a few weeks previous to
this Joshua had had one of his bad
spells and his wife had taken him
to his brother and insisted that he
be sent to the asylum. He became
quiet, however, and promised to do
beUer. This promise he evidently forgot
to keep or else hemust have been
a terible "nigger" before.?AJIendale
