It seems to be | true, as demonstrated by this game and other like games in tlie past, that the more married you are the better game you can play. A married man, to say the least, is a game one. However, all that may be said to the contrary, the score stood 9 to 7 in favor of the married team. Ehrhardt Wins at Home. Ehrhardt came from behind and won from Fairfax. The game was! well played except one bad inning which each team had. The playing of Zeigler and R. Roberts for Ehrhardt and Xix for Fairfax featured.

The Band of Hope. J When the wife of Joe Betts, an Alabama darkey, died he mourned her sincerely. "I'se going to put a black border to my house," he said to one of his neighbors. And he did. A week later a broad band of black outlined the front of his little dwelling. A couple of years passed. Then one of his neighbors, stopping to j speak to Joe, found him gazing up at his little black-ledged house with an air of perplexity. "It lasts well, Joe," said the neighbor in a tone of sympathy, "but the black grpws a little rusty. You will put on another coat?" "Yessuh," said Joe. "Daisy Moore, J she says it needs one 'other coat of; paint." "Daisy Moore! Oh! But has she said another coat of black paint, Joe?" "Uh!" grunted Joe, and then his loook of perplexity vanished in a slow grin. "I'se going to ask her tonight," he added briskly. Two days later the sympathetic neighbor, passing again, was greeted by Joe from a ladder set against the i house. "How does yo' like it?" he asked, waving his paint brush toward the band of bright red glowing across the top of the little house. "Daisy Moore -i-- if rmt We git married till t! px?-xvcvi u v ? _ next week." ?Miss Maggie Zeigler left yesterday for Colliers, S. C., to visit friends. ?Mrs. H. D.

Olar, July 27.?Mr. Editor, no doubt you recall how during the great world war the neutrals gave very wise, if unwelcome, advice to the belligerents. Well, same thing here. Yesterday at Barnwell at and during the Bamberg-Barnwell game some of the more enthusiastic fans came near letting their enthusiasm run into a ton sDirited argument. In fact the temperature around about the center of the left wing of the spectator? became so warm, that something like a human cyclone drew into this part many persons and things, including cocoa-cola bottles, knife butts, and base ball paraphernalia. Lightning-like, the dome of yours truly was struck with an ilea?lucky it wasn't a bottle?"great food for a little write-up," says I. So I betakes myself hurriedly right into the front line, trying to beat Bellinger to it, but I never did see him. I perched mvself upon the fender of an auto mobile, arms a-kimbo, reasoning that this ^oald afford me an excellent view below me, and at the same time giv$ me an air of neutrality. Debate grew warmer and warmer. I did not object to this especially, but some of the participants were very careless aboi t how they tried to impress their arguments, or with what tools they drove them in. And after a few minutes it looked too contagious for me. I have been vaccinated, but I am not reckless, so I gave way a few kilometers while there was still a small opening to my west. After it was'all .over, I held some close observations to try and detect what effect it was going to have on the game. Would you believe it, it did not seem to have helped either side. Now, my point. If such thorough argument does not help, it seems that it would be just as well to cut it out hereafter and put our time on playing ball. But if there must be a little of this kind of argumentation now and then, please use your columns towards influencing those who take part to be more careful about their r\f titti-ncr Vinmp tbpir r<*a ill^UUV/U O V/JL Vti A T AAA0 V._ ? sonings. Olar^Defeats Ehrhardt. Last Thursday Olar defeated Ehrhardt in a fast game of base ball on the Olar diamond by a score of 5 to 2. Both teams at times gave exhibitions of real playing, but the single outstanding feature was contributed by Zeigler of the visitors when he invaded the territory of centerfield and made a flying tackle at and a sensational stab of a long drive, the Olar fans, though, preferred calling it premeditated robbery. For several innings the score stooa at 1 to 0, and then for several more it stool 2 to 0 in favor of the Ehrhardt boys. But in the last half of the eighth, with three hits on the part of Olar, and three errors to the debit of the visitors, the locals put across five runners for safeties. And it was thus the game ended. Batteries were, for Ehrhardt, Kirklanc and ljullock, while the defenders of the mound and home plate for Olar were Cooke and Barker. Personal Ins and Outs.

Last Saturday evening, in Lonnie Baughraen's store, in Blackville, two colored men, Jim Champion and Milledge Gloster, got in a dispute and Champion stabbed Gloster in the throat. It happened so quickly the people in the store hardly knew what had occurred until they saw Gloster run out on the side walk, bleeding profusely from the wound, and falling on the street. Drs. Hammond and Gyles were summoned and sewed up the gash, but he expired shortly afterwards. The occurrence is greatly regretted by both colored and white people, as both the men were industrious and j well thought of. The inquest was h61d yesterday j morning ana toe veraici 01 me jury was that "Milledge Gloster camejto his death from a knife stab in the hands of James Champion."

Here's a chance for someone to make a billion dollars?an aspiration that comes to most of us now and then. Find a way to cure "specs," otherwise spectacles, glasses, etc. When you knock yours off your nose and they scatter into assorted fragments on the sidewalk or bathroom tiles, there is now nothing to do but dig down into the reserve corner of the pocketbook for that $1.50, if you are mildly afflicted, or $5 if your eyes claim exelusiveness, and have a new lens put in. If two are broken?well, then, double the amount. This was serious enough before the war put up * * * you know the formula?but now we feel almost justified in taking out plateglass insurance on our nose glasses. There is another chance?spectacle insurance!?but our billion-dollar "big idea" is different, and came upon reading a scientific article on "Healing in the Mineral Kingdom." It appears, although we acknowledge our long ignorance of the fact, that for a century and a half the phenomenon of Vloolincr in crlooa Vmc hftDTl rOPHP'TnZPd 1U ^lUUU JUMV VWU * as a scientific curiosity. Sir David Brewster long ago called attention to it, and at a recent meeting of an English microscopial club pieces of healed glass were exhibited. A magnifying glass had become cracked while enclosed by the usual metal ring mounting. The ring had been tightened up and the, broken lenses gradually became cured or "healed, i Another piece of glass had become cracked, but when tightly clamped together the cracked parts had become) nrmiy joinea so uiai ino juucuuu could be discovered only with difficulty. And now ba.ck to our billion. Cannot some one discover a simple process by which our broken glasses may be sent for a spell to a "specs" san-J itarium and come away cured? Very often we must admit, the task of gathering up the remains would be somewhat arduous, but just imagine the money that might be made at a Hotel Dieu des Pince-Nez or a Touro Infirmary for Toric Lenses. One of the oddities of this process of healing would seem to be its seeming slowness of operation. If the glass fragments could simply be jammed together 'till they become onei the process would be our old scientific acquaintance "cohesion," but there appears to be some other action at work, as though perhaps the crystals needed time to readjust themselves. And in connection with this curious phenomenon, it is possible that it was recognized correctly years ago by ;hat observant creature, the American boy? We recall that in our marble playing days there was a firm belief among "the crowd" who played "ring" in the bare space between the sidewalk and the fence, that those beautiful marbles known variously as - ? " norofoe ?? TtrVion nrnfilSPlv LULL Lb Ui aga^o, .? -? ? dotted with "moons" through play could, under certain prescribed circumstances, become cured. The "moons," as we all understood, were minute semi-circular cracks which, through continued play, became so umerous that the surface of the marble would crumble away. However, there were, as we have said, certain processes, and among them an essential was long rest, which rightly or wrongly we were cpnvinced would ? morhioa nf "mnnns."

CARDUI HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depressed?Read Her Own Story of Recovery. Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. a M.

I was sick three years In bed. suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried, every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and I believe it saved my life." "Pnr river 40 vears. thousands Of WO men have used Caruul successfully, In the treatment of many womanly ailments.
