THAT BASE BALL GAME. Workman Claims the Game by a Score of 7 to 3. rWritten for last week.] Lake City, S. C, July 4?Work-! man and Lake City base ball teams ' played on the lattor's diamond to- j day, aud notwithstanding the injustice done the visitors, they sue-! ceeded in defeating the home team > by a score of 7 to 3. The visitors! were really entitled to the game by a score of 9 to 0, as tiie home team re- { fused to continue the game after the | eighth inning, claiming that their own umpire was not giving them; justice. But that was not the reason. The Lake City team tried to run the game | over Workman, but they found the j latter to be up on the rules*profiting I by last season's experience with Lake; City. The rule book could not be! found before the game, but it was accessible very soon afterwards. I would advise all teams anticipate ing playing Lake City to beware of their style of a rule book?a two legged "varmint."

G, ^ Doings at Dock. | July 10?The distressing drought that is blighting vendure and vegetation just, now is the worst we have ever experienced. The field crops appear to be suffering less from it- effects than the gardens, and as the latter are at this season a very necessary adjunct to the culinary branch of our domestic economy, we view the discouraging outlook with grave apprehension. Squashes, beans, cucumbers, cabbage and even okra appear to be thoroughly scorched beyond hope of recovery; although we pray that a good rain w:H yet put life into the wilted leaves and vines. Tobacco, tfte new ''king,seems to be standing the extreme dry weather better than other crops* Unlessa genuine down pour should very soon come there is danger of a great shortage of corn, sugarcane and potatoes. I heard one successful farmer remark a few days since that his corn had had the benefit of but one good rain since it took root, and that unless the rain conies within a week or two this crop would lie a complete lailute. And such a fine, promising field ot' corn he has, too! (We hope the long needed rain has fallen at Dock ere this.?Ed.) Prof. L. D.
