Monday, salesday, and the 5th of July, celebrated as the 4tb, was very quiet. No observance as a holiday was held, except at the Factory. A game of base ball was played between the Enterprise nine and the Factory nine, resulting in a score of 35 to 15 in favor of the Enterprise. The Graphic Newt of July 3rd, presents a double page of the nrw famous Detroit Base Ball Club. The members of the coining champion team are shown in full uniform, the illustration is the most life like and finely executed representation of a base ball nine ever published in this country The Great Four, and all others are shown, and every lov er of the National Pastime should have a picture of this great team. A game of base ball was played yesterday on the Academy Green, between the Blue Stockings of Flor ence and the Comets of Darlington.

Charles Dudley Warner’s series of summer resort sketches ex tend through three chapter’s (the fourth pan) in the July Harper't. enriched with thirteen ot (5. S. Reinhart’s inimitable drawings. The vacation aspects of 'American so ciety, as seen in the popular water log places, supply a large fond of material for Warner’s delightful treatmen r , and when bis brilliant and amusing descriptions are wov- efi upon a love-story, and supple mented by Reinhart’s clever pic- tares, the result is most interesting. The scenes in theae chapters are Narragaosett Pier, Cottage City, Plymouth, Isles of Shoals, sod Mar tha’s Vineyard. The following in- * gtalmeot will oondoot ns to Bar Hatbor the famous Virginia resorts at Natural Bridge and White Sul phur Springs. LAMAR. —Mr. Geo. Wadford has the best cotton crop that we have seen. —The health of onr community has improved. Dr. Cole and little ailments don’t inhabit the same territory. —Mr. W. P. Carter is the Lynch es River tobacco • man, and not Lamar as was mistated in our items of last week. —Lynches River is said to be higher than it has been for 30 years. Where the boys ploughed corn on last Saturday, they went in swim- lug on Sanday. —At a meeting of the Lisbon Democratic Club, held on Saturday the 3rd inst., the primary plan of elections was shown to be the choice of our people by an over whelming vote, a plurality vote to be conclusive in determining the nominee. WARDS VILLE. —Miss Mamie Gee is at home from the Sumter Institute. —Mr. Willie J. Clifton has gone to Florida, where he will engage in the telegraph business. —The crops in this section are very small for the time of year. Mr P. L. Gee has the best averaged crop. His corn is the best we have seen. —The Ebenezer base ball club came down to Wardsville on Satur day, the 3rd of Jnly, and engaged the Wardsville club in a match game. Wardsville came first to the bat and got pnt out before mak ing a score. Then the gallant Eb- enezers with their shining colors took position at the bat and made three scores. Ebenezer continued to gain scores on Wardsville for five innings, after which Wards ville, uniformed with red-streaked, striped stockings with the legs of their trousers stuffed in them, be gan to gain on the champion play ers. Wardsville played eight inn ings and scored 18; Ebenezer play ed seven innings and when the third out on the eighth inning was called by the umpire the batman positively disputed the umpire’s decision and refused to play. The umpire offered the batman the priv ilege of going back to the bat and trying it over, be having been call ed out on three strikes, which be refased to do. The umpire then called the game in tavor of Wards ville; the said club having contend ed for the nine innings to be play ed Ebenezer scored 21. Several of the Ebeneaer boys displayed con* siderable skill in playing, while others were so very contentious that it was extreme^ unpleasant to the umpire, who labored to do jus tice to both sides. His decisions were disputed openly time ami again, yet be passed it unnoticed. The Wardsville boys played with some skill and with quietness and true respect to the umpire. Satis factory apologies being made by the Ebenezer club, the players, to gether with the audience, retired to the grove and made ready for dinner. Afier dinner the you; g people assembled at Mr. Kirven’s where they enjoyed themselves very much. The crowd then dispersed to meet again that night for a party at Mr. Odom’s. We hope our Eb enezer friends enjoyed themselves. May we meet again voon and have a n.ce and pleasant time together. SWIFT CREEK. —Crops are looking well. —Crops are looking fine, grass is too. —Mr. T. A. Howie has been quite sick for several days. —Mr. R. N. Howie has a very fine field of cotton. —Crops in this section are es timated about an average. —Miss Bell Rinehart is spending some time with Mrs. DeWitt. —Mrs. R. N. Howie has the finest garden we have seen in our sec tion. —We enjoyed the pic-nic at Black Creek on last Saturday very much. —Mr. J. Henry Privett has some very fine branch corn, estimated to make 30 bushels per acre. —Miss Maggie Windham, after a visit of about two months to Capt. Bass, returned to her home in Man ning last Saturday accompanied by Miss Janie Bass. —Our tobacco man is still work ing diligently at bis new under taking. We feel sure if others would endevor to overcome the old fashion of planting so mnch cotton, times would doubtless improve. —We think that the citizens of oar community should go a head, and not be so far behind. It is possible for us to have a better school here, and why not have it. The advantages are all that could be desired, and the health of this section is splended. Why should we have our boys going to Doves- ville and other places, as some are talking of doing now f There can be as good a school beie as any « here else in Darlington County. All bands to the wheel and let us roll oat of the mire. —Oar reading club met last Fri day night. It was one of the best meetings we have had yet There was some very good reading, and ont of abont 8 readers, was one bright eyed little girl of about 10 years old who undoubtedly deserves much praise, Miss Evelyn Parrott. There was also an election of of- floera. We think onr candidates will give perfect satisfaction. The present officers will serve six months. —Mr. L. I. Parrott is spending a few days in our ueigtiboihood. His old friends are a'ways glad to j him. —Your reportrr is verv glad tn relate his trip to the Centre, and Turn Pike sections The people down there seem to be full of hospi tality, and thus we enjoyed our selves to the utmost extent. We can’t say that we found the Centre correspoudaut Simon, but we are pretty sore we found Nero He is averynice looking fellow, and as handsome as he is long, he looks as if be was as wise as Solomon.
