an adverse report The
rules of the service require as a condition

"For 15 years I eudured insufferable
pain from Rheumatism and nothing
relieved me though I tried every

Eleciric Bitters and it's the greatest

THAT IS THE DIET GIVEN KING S j!
THEE BY THE SEA GULLS j1
Not a Tempting Menu but the Kings-j<
free Base Ballists Took it i
with Equanimity. I J
After doing up Georgetown lustj'
[week in two consecutive panics I
Kingstree's base ballists sighed for v
j new worlds to conquer and on Friday
tuincd theii attention to another [
seaporttown, viz., the metropolis of j
the State. But they were Hying too ,
high in their endeavor to keep pace {
with the sea gulls as the result of
the game conclusively proves?ten
to nothing in favor of Charleston. ^
The News and Courier gives the
following facetious wiite up of the .
game: }
Kingstree is wrapped in darkest
gloom. Her noble sons, who left
t
that thriving town with visions of ^
victory, brought, hack a story in
which the figures ten and zero take
prominent parts. j
The fans sat. around the soda
fount. On the counter stood tall 1
glass Imttles, with red stick eandv
inside.
"And you say they shut you out?"
remarked the man, who always *
wants to talk about the way lie used ^
to -.in games.
' Won't you hovs have something
cold?" asked the Kiugstreean who
played short, in a panania hat. a
it.... ti.ml.l im-K.iti.. flint he desired 1
to change t ho su bjeet. c
"Something cold! Ten to nothing c
is cold enough for me," ami the 0
speaker tilled tilled p pe with Top
tobacco. t
"Well say, how did they manage
to walk off with the game?" asked *
the syrup slingcr. 1
"Well, it was this way: When we ''
would get a man on base, which was
not very often, the pitcher would t
get to work and our men would sec ?
how close they could borne to the 11
ball without touching it. They did k
not touch it or come very t
close to it. When Charleston, won Id t
get a man on a base the batter would I
sacrifice or hit safe. If he did hap- *
pen to hit to one of our men he t
would side-stop it. Our hits t
amounted to nothing; theirs did." #
That tells the story. The visitors i
played hard uud were thoroughly in 11
earnest, bnt they could not unravel F
Sparkniuu's wide outs. 0
The game was featureless. There 11
were no sensational or half-raising
catches. There .were no -moments r'(
when the s]?ectator held his breath s
with both hands and let his face ^
hang open. The spectators sat qui- a
etly in their seats and wondered how ?
long it would be before the ninth k
inning. The Charleston boys scored F
whenever they so desired. Kings- 'J
tree desired, hut did not score. ?
Charleston made her first score in F
the second inning. Harry Spark- t
man tlew out to short and Alston v
made a pretty hit over short. When f
Lindstedt was up Alston waltzed r
J T flrrtvp ii
UUWIl KJ SCVUIiUt UI1UCH.UI. M.V.V
safe over first and Alston pulled v
open the throttle and came from
second home. The right fielder, 1
who had tracked Lindstedt's ball
down, threw it home in attempt t<? ?
catch Alston and Lindstedt advanced *
to second. Shackelford fii? to J
pitcher Gilland and Lindstedt 1
started for third. The third base- 1
man was busy seeing Gilland stop *
the bifll and third was unguarded. *
Lindstedt anchored safely and a
Shackelford stole second. He s
played off and Gilland tried to catch 1
him, in spite of the fact that Lind- 3
stedt was on third. Second Base- 1
man Fairy muffed the ball 1
J
and Lindstedt and Shrckelford a
scored. Three scores for-Charleston.- *
The fireworks really began in the
fourth. McFall came up and hit a
July specimen to third. Hirschman (
, handled- the ball well, but was off ;
I
hi his throw to first. Then
Matthews took one where thfc
chicken received the axe. Ed
^parkman bunted and the bases
were all occupied. Then indeed
iid the Kings tree short stop pull
lown his hat over Ins lantern and
wonder why he left houie. Harry
>parkman hit to Hllland and the
>iteher tripped and fell, just before
browing the ball to first. McFall
ind Matthews trotted in and E
Spark man rested on second. Then
Mston and Lindstedt fanned.
Shackelford made a pretty hit over
bird and the two Sparkmans scored.
The fielder tried to slaughter H
Sparkman at the plate and Shack Iford
tried for third. .Just as he
lropped preparatoiy to a slide
lirschman rubbed the sphere - on
lint. Seven scores in the fourth
lining! Truly it was hard on the
\ingstrec boys.
McKinlev made the run of the
:veiling in the fourth. He was hit
>y a pitched ball and rested at
otirth. Toen McFall hit to left
md MeKinley started home. Down
>y second he circled and simply
ould not stop at third. He escaped
it home only by the skin of his
eeth.
COLORED FARMERS' INSTITUTE.
\nd Educational Rally?Addresses by
Miller, Beck and Wilkerson.
Quite a crowd of coloied citizens
i&scnihled in the court house 011 Satuday,
the occasion being the farmrs'
institute and educational rally,
inducted by Presf Thos. E. Miller
if the State college.
President Miller.called the meetng
to order at 12:30 o'clock. After
tating the object of the gatheiing
le introduced as the tirst speaker, J
J lleck, who is now conducting the
I'erchers' Summer School here.
Prof Peek spoke uhout ten miujtcs
on the subject, "The Public
ichool System, its object and how to
naintain it." Among other things
ic said that the public school sysuiii
?-.ij \(.'Vi<if if aimiilrl TIip
rnns were }oo short and salaries
xtor; but it is the duty of the oitiens
of each school district to form
hemsehes into a voluntary associaion
for the improvement of the
chool in their district, by suppleuenting
the public funds. He
irged the necessity of having good
inblic schools as the masses have no
ther oppoitunities. Education is
iceessary to good citizenship.
R S Wilkerson, of the State c?dege,
who is also one of the intructors
of the colored Summer
School here, was next introduced
nd spoke in the same strain. He
aid that the public schools would '
e improved in proportion as the
>atrons manifested interest in them,
['hat we need to do more for ourelves.
Too much help tends to
>roduce inertness. The Styite would
>e encouraged to do more if we
rould do something for ourselves.
)ne of the imperative needs in alnost
every rural school district is an
mprovement in the school buildings
rhich are veritable cold traps.
The speaker then introduced Pres
rhos E Miller, who began by saying,
'A prophet is not without honor
ave in his own country." He reerred
to the fact that he had some
rears ago opposed the raising of
noney for carrying the registration
aw to the U S courts on the grounds
hat the negro had no one to carry
lis case properly before the courts
ind could not get a favorable decision.
He was pleased to see that
hough it took time to prove them
ret his predictions were true. He
hen discussed the condition of the ;
legro, the kind of education needed,
ind gave some wholesome' hdvice to
eachers, farmers and others present.
The sigh of the sanctimonious
loesn't fit!' thfe stomach of the
ifuine.
