According Ul engagement the
Darlington Baseball Club and about
100 of their admirers, both ladies
and gentlemen, boarded the 4.30
o’clock train last Tuesday for Flor
ence to play the Stars of (hat city.
It was the opening game lor the
Florence baseballist and the citizens
turned ont to witness the result of
the contest. At 5 o’clock Umpire
Bristow called the game with Cum
mings and Brunson as the battery
for Florence and Begister and
Hutchinson held the points for
Darlington. Both teams had good
inn and outfielders, and did some
exceptionally fine jplayiug. James’s
home run was the leading feature of
the game. The following is the
score by innings:
Darlington....O 0 4 0 1 0 1 0 *—6
Florence. 0 1 0 1 2 1 0 0 0—5
Umpire Bristow was complimented
very highly by both sides for the
fairness of his decisions.
The game too, was absolutely de
void of all the unpleasantness that
generally characterize ball-playing,
viz; “Kicking and bulldozing.
The parry arrived home on dne
time feeling that they had been fully
prepaid for their trip.
A Dwelllig Baraei.
On Friday of last week, abont fl
o’clock in the afternoon the fire
alarm was sounded and a dense
volume of smoke was seen going up
from Pearl street. On repairing to
the scene of the fire the honsc of
Mrs. Jessie Lide was found to be in
flames, which had made so mnch
progress as to make it impossible to
do anything in the way of saving it
The Hook and lankier Company was
promptly on the ground and devoted
its attention to giving the adjoining
residence, belonging to Mr. Wesley
G. Dickson, a thorough drenching
with water in order to keep it from
becoming endangered. The engine
was also carried up bnt there was
really nothing for it to do.
The part of 1’earl street where
the fire occurred is beyond the reach
of the hydrants, and even if the
engine had been needed there was
not enough water accessible to have
lasted more than a few minutes.
The fire caught in the kitchen, be-
Lwcv the ceiling and shingles and
the who first reached the house
La., no means of getting at it. The
furniture was all saved. There was
an insurance policy of $1,000 on the
house which will probably cover the.
loss.
Mrs. Lidc requests us to return
her sincere thanks to the citizens for
their timely help iu saving the con
tents of her house.
In connection with this (ire we
want to make a suggestion in regard
to the importance of having some
means, on the residence streets, for
fighting tire. The town council
cannot secure the means to have
water pipes laid all over the town,
but if the residents of any street
would unite they could, without a
great deal of individual expense,
haye the work done, and in addition
to the protection against fire have
plenty of pure water for drinking
purposes. Hydrants could be placed
at ctm veil Unit distances apart and
with a few hundred feet of hose
every building could have facilities
for tighiing tire. When a fire first
starts a small stream from a hose is
more effective than a deluge from
the steamer fifteen minutes later.
The cost of laying the pipes would
iu a year or two be repaid by the
reduction in the rate of insurance.
The only other plan is for several
neighbors to unite and put up
wind mil! with a good sized tank,
but the hydrants are very much
belter and the supply of water is
unlimited. In addition to this every
house should be provided with one
or two light ladders to be used in
reaching the roof.
How about that job of printing?
Let us have a chance at it, as we
can do you good. Our prices are

REV. JMW STOUT
Passes Away fraw Earthly Seeaes
ta the Ererlastlag Rest awl
Peace af leavea—The Bad af a
Caaseerated aad Uasellsh Life.
On Sunday last, just after the
church bells had summoned the
people to their respective places of
worship and while the songs of
praise, and prayers for help and
guidance were being borne heaven
ward, the pure soul of this conse
crated and holy Christian minister,
lightened of its earthly load, took
ita flight from earthly scenes and is
now at rest in the paradise of the
blessed dead.
Mr. Stout was a native of Ala
bama and served with distinguished
gallantry, as adjutant of one of the
regiments from that State, during
the entire war. In one of the battles,
through which his command passed,
be was desperately wounded, and
this wound troubled him a good
deal during the balance of his life,
bnt his forgetfulness of self was so
great that he never complained and
very few were aware that he ever
suffered any physical pain from
it Almost for the whole time
since the war he has lived iu this
State and* has lieen preaching for
about twenty-five years. He served
short terms as pastor of the Baptist
churches at Cheraw and Newberry,
from the latter of which he was
called to the chnrch at Society Hill.
This chnrch be served with a
fidelity and acceptability that is
rarely equaled and never surpassed.
After remaining there for eighteen
years, during which time the chnrch
had pro8|wred under his ministry, he
was unanimously elected pastor of
the Baptist Church at this place.
This civil lie at first declined, but it
was so urgently repeated that, he felt
it his duty to accept. It is almost
needless to say that his congregation
gaye him up with the greatest re
luctance, well knowing that it would
be extremely difficult to find any
one who could fill his place in the
hearts of those to whom he had so
long ministered.
He had only been here about two
years, daring which brief time he
had not only endeared himself to his
own congregation but to every one
in the whole community, and there
is no one in this whole section whose
deatn wonld have been more uni
versally deplored. For sometime
there had existed an arrangement
wheieby ti e Baptist, Methodist and.
Presbyterian Chnrches would hold
on Sunday night a union service at |
which the respective pastors would!
take turns in preaching. Thu gave'
nnnsnal facilities for the members of
the other churches to know and!
appreciate his true worth, and he
won both their respect and affection.
His Csmily was one of culture and
Social distinction and all tits home
surroundings were such as to foster
and develop all the noble and true
instincts of his nature and he was in
very respect the highest type of a
modest and unselfish gentleman. ;
In the ordinary sense of the word
he was not an orator, but he was
something fur better than this, he
was a teacher who taught the people
how to lead purer and better lives, 1
whose earnest and solemn words
gave them higher and purer uspira- 1
tions and truer and noble conceptions
of life and its duties. He not only 1
preached the sublime trnths of
Christianity, in all their purity and 1
simplicity, but what was far better'
he illustrated them in his daily |
words and acts. No home was too
humble for him to enter, and where-1
ever trouble, sickness or death were
present he was always to be found
ready to minister, with loying hope
ful words and tender hands to either
the physical or spiritual necessities
of those who suffered.
During the recent unfortunate
troubles in our town both his words!
and acts were such as to reflect credit 1
upon him both as a good citizen and
as a Christian minister.
He had not been well for some
weeks bnt felt it Lis duty to attend
the general convention of his chnrch
which met at Dallas, Texas. Just the
day before he was to leave for home
he was taken sick and this sickness
closed his earthly career. Except
for the presence of his devoted wire,
who for nearly twenty-five years had
encouraged and assisted him in his
many duties, and one of his nephews,
he died far away from his friends
and relatives, but there was One
who was near him in the dying hour,
whose presence filled his soul with
light, and whose hand was stretched
forth to guide him through the
valley and shadow of death. To
him, whose tired hands are now
folded across the noble and generous
heart, which has forever oeased to
beat, whose every throb was one of
love and sympathy for his fellow
creatures,death is gain,and the sorrow
is only to those who are left behind
to mourn the loss of the trne friend
and devoted pastor. God buries his
workmen but carries on his work
and the influence of this pure and
holy life will remain. To him it
was not death, but the ushering in
of life, the beautiful life above,where
pain and sorrow cease and where his
voice shall join in the great sea of
music that shall throb forever
against the throne of God.
Come, let us Join our friviuls nl»ove,
That have obtained the prize;
And on the tingle win}'* or love
To toys celestial rise:
IiOt all the saints terrestrial sing,
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our King,
In earth and heaven, are one.
Our spirits Iimishall quickly join,
Like theirs with glory crowned,
And shout to see our Captain’s sign,
To licar bti trwupvt »ouua.
O that we now might grasp our Guide !
O that the word were given !
Come, Lord of hoets, the waves divide,
And land us all in heaven.
The body of Bev. Mr. Stout
reached Darlington on Wednesday
night and was immediately taken to
the Baptist Chnrch where the ser
vices were held. The large building
was completely filled with those who
wished to pay this last mark of re-
snect to the memory of one whom
they all loved. The services were
conducted by Bev. G. B. Moore, a
former pastor Of the church, assisted
by Bey. J. E. Carlisle, pastor of the
Methodist Chnrch. Both of these
ministers made very fervent and
tonching prayers, and their remarks
were in every way appropriate to the
occasion and a worthy tribute to the
lamented dead.
The music was rendered with ex
quisite taste and feeling, the singers
being from the different church
choirs, with Miss Jennie Bast as
organist, and added very much to
the solemnity of the occasion.
The body, was kept in the chnrch
until yesterday morning when it was
taken on a special train to Society
Hill for interment, being accom
panied by a large number of onr
people. As soon.as the train,bearing
the remains, arrived all the church
bells were tolled until the arrival at
the Baptist Chnrch. As a further
mark of respect every store in town
was closed the next day fiom 10
until 2 o’clock.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. E.
C. Lide, B. H. Bogers, A. C. Cogges-
hall, John Douglass, A. A. Gandv,
G. H. Edwards, Marion Lide, J. E.

Miss Annie Anderson has been

All throngh the dull seasons of
the present financial depression the
Southern cotton mills have been
running on full time aud yelding
bigger dividends than those of our
Northern competitors. The D. A.
Thompkin’s mill at Charlotte, which
was mentioned as a notable example
in these columns a few days ago, is
so crowded with orders for its fliue
numbers that it has to run night
and day. Theotton mill is destined
to be the most powerful factor of
Southern prosperity in future.
When we manufacture our leading
staple and sell the product of our
mills to home and foreign markets
this will be the richest region on the
globe.—Atlanta Conatitution.

No man can sell goods cheaper than I can and stay iu business.
My goods are arguments, my prices are eloquence itself. My aim
is to make both goods and prices satisfactory to all. I succeed
when others fail to save yon money. Call and see what it means
to deal with a progressive wide-awake man and be convinced.
Some say I sell goods too cheap, yes I sell cheap because I can do
ib I don’t bribe the public with cheap goods, everything is a
bargain. Compare goods and prices and be convinced. We haye
bnt one price and that is
ABSOLUTELY CASH.
