WELSH NECK PLAYS BALL Shut Out Charleston College on Friday?Second Game a Tie. Haktsville, April4:?Welsh Neck beat Charleston College Friday afternoon, March 24, in a drizzle, 6 to 0. It was the local team's tirst game, and they did tine playing throughout. Cunningham pitched a very line game and won his rank as a first class college pitcher right at the start of the season. He struck out 16 men, gave one scratch hit and not a base on balls. He batted well, and fielded his position in great form. Scott, .Miller and Timberlake, batted well and played their positions excellently, while Mabry caught a steady, splendid game, and batted hard, i The game Saturday went to ten innings and resulted in a tie--4 to 4. It was rather long and full of errors at times, but quite interest ing on the whole, jand intensely so at the last when Miller and Scott got on bases in the last inning with the score 4 to 2 against them, and were sent home by Cunningham's splendid timely drive to right centre. The game showed Charleston's team up in better style than that of the day previous, but they were denied the pleasure of winning a hard-fought game. For Welsh Neck it was a case of an off day; for errors, duml base running and pair judg ment cropped out plentifully at times, and alternated with some really guilt-edged work .vhen things oecame critical and the bases full. Several weaknesses were shown up, and it is a very good thing that they came out early thejseason/vben theycan be correc ted. Flowers was in splendid form and deser *es great cr edit for the tine game he pitched in adverse circumstances at almost all times. He struck out 13 men and gave two hits. The Charleston team was, the usual gentlemanly lot, with the addition of two first class monkeys in the shape of Frazer. Beleau pitched a tine game, too, the first day, and a winning one ! x ? IVv,,4- fhn vnro UgUiJlSl clliy lljllig UUk 111^ 'n; finest 'playing. Henderson is an old favorite at Hartsville and his pitching- the second day was steady and deserving or better success. Odione caught well and threw to bases nicely. Lee played fine ball in left and the whole team is a strong one, with the unfortunate faculty of going up in the air at ^a pinch. Litschgi's first base -playing was fine. (Cadet) C E Graham. Not Our Fault.

The Record is one of the newsiest county papers in this section of the State, and gives all but one indication of prosper- j ing?the editor is still unmarried, and Williamsburg, too, is noted for its excellent, accomplished, and beautiful women.?Manning Times.I There is a current maxim tn?t it takes two to make a quarrel, and it is equally Evident that no man (not even the necessarily resourceful editor of a county newspaper) can effect a matrimonial alliance without the aid and consenfcof a number of the fair sex. Up to this time every essay of the editor in question to emigrate into the united state of matrimony has been futile and disastrous; hence his present condition j of domestic iufelicity is his misfor-1 tune rather than his fault. If one of the "excellent, accomplished aud beautiful" women, aptly and poetically described by our esteemed contemporary, would exhibit the slightest inclination to respond to an invitation to share our rugged lot she would find at all times "Barkis" to be in no wise otherwise than "willin'" Come to The County Record to have your JOB WORK done with despatch, neatness and cheapnesr. '?* \ i i ' ; NEWS Of A WEEK IN EKE IE Clll EXCELLENT WORK OF THE CASH FOUNDRY-LETTUCE SHIPMENTS-OTHER NEWS. Lake City, April 4: Mr Myers E Hanna of Cades, was in town Friday on business. ?

Magistrate H C Godwin aVid Constable J W McCutchen were in Kingstree Monday on business. g Mr H V Epps went o\wr into Florence county Friday. ^ Mr D B Knight took the train Monday for a visit to Florence. Mr W F L Steele has gone to Rockingham N C. He will return before long. The ' -ash foundry has taken the contract to cast the iron front for the Smith-Williams Co's. building and is now at work on the job. This front will be fifty feet wide and about fourteen feet high. If such a job as this can be successfully accomplished, and we have no doubt it will be, there seems to be no reason why this foundry can not turn out any ordinary work required. The plows manufactured by this concern are now being" used all around here. By the way, a farmer told us today that the Hatchell plows, now being made by this shop for the Lake City Plow < o., has many new and improved features and is really a splendid implement. Large quantities of Dixie plow points are being made. This item is not intended as an advertisement of the Cash foundry, but we want to let our people know what we are doing. It is just such enterprises as this that build up a country. Again, we say unto thee, ''keep your eye skinned on Lake City," Lake City lettuce is now bringing on the Northern markets from $6,00 to $8,50 the barrel, Barrel shipments sell for $5.00, while crate shipments command $4.25 the crate of one and one-half bushels, which is at the rate of $8.50 the barrel. Packed in the smaller pack ages the lettuce goes on the market in better condition and therefore brings the better price. Our growers will be wise if they discard the barrel and ship by the crate entirely. . Mr W W Kennedy, accompanied by Dr A H Williams, went down to Charleston last Thursday. Mr Kennedy, whose health has been very bad for some time, was operated upon. We understand that he stood the operation very well, but whether or not it will result in restoring his health remains to be seen. Strawberries are looking line?better than ever bef^e at j this date. In some fields ripe berries may be seen to-day and shipments will be made before another issue of The Record makes its appearance. Mr J S McClam, who was right ill last week, is, we are glad to know, much better now. WLB MARION BUSINESS LEAGUE ! Will Give Annual Smoker od Friday Night.
