THURSDAY, JULY 1. 1915. ALONG THE MAIL ROUTE. Items of Interest Gathered 'Twixt Rhems and Rome. Rhems, June 28:?Since my last writing,Messrs F Rhem & Sons have installed a modern flour mill in connection with their ginnery and grist mill at this place, and are now ready to convert the "golden grain" into the "staff of life". The capacity of the mill is about 35 barrels per day. Mr C E Williams of Virginia, an expert mill man, installed the machinery. The mill adds much to this section in appearance and, it is hoped, will lower the cost of living,as wheat is an easy and inexpensive crop to raise. It seems that anyone farming could raise at least two acres, which would make about four or five barrels of flour, and would reduce the price to the farmer about fifty per cent. The mill is conveniently located in the midst of one of the finest farming sections in the State,and is the only one of its kind in (Georgetown or Williamsburg counties. The crops in this locality are small and somewhat backward, owing to the ex?essiye rains and cool weather, but the most of the farmers have conquered "Gen Green", and it is hoped a fairly good yield may yet be produced. Mr Geo M Thomas attended.court at Kingstree last week as a "gentleman of the jury". Miss Lula Keels of Harvin has returned to her home, after spending several days with her sister, Miss Maggie Keels, and friends. Mr Clarence Davis of Hemingway and Miss Alice Chandler of Rome passed through here Sunday afternoon. Mrs H I) Munnerlyn has returned from a delightful visit to the home of her daughter, Mrs J E Mole, Jr, at Brunson. Mr R C Sarvis seems to be in a "dormant state" since the closing of the Nesmith school. Cheer up,Reuben, the vacation will soon be over. Mr G G Broadway is also in a "dormant state", or assumes a very quiet and much depressed attitude, since the closing, of the Nesmith school. It's hard to bear, boys, but time heals all wounds. Miss Edna Eaddy is spending some time pleasantly at the home of Dr and Mrs L B Johnson. Mr J W Waldron, we are glad to . note, is able to be out again, after several days' indisposition. m?V.,1-intr Hasplden.

Last Thursday afternoon the baseball season opened in Kingstree in a highly satisfactory manner to players and visitors under the direction of the officers of the Kingstree Baseball association. On the above date the first of a series of three games was played be tween the Kingstree and Marion teams. The grounds were in excellent condition, and the game being called in the late afternoon made conditions almost ideal for the sport. It was evident early in the game, however, that the visiting team was outclassed by the locals and their HOLMES, KINGSTREE'S CATCHER. chances of victory were slim indeed. This perspective proved to be true for, in the three games played, the visiting team scored only three runs, while the home team rolled up a total of 24, Thursdays score being 12 to 1; Friday's 5 to 1, and Saturday's 7 to 1. A number of good individual plays were made by members of the Marion team during the three games, but when it came to all round team work they were lacking. The Kingstree team is composed of the following: C C Epting, pitch; E Holmes, catcher; Fred Lanham.lb; M Martin, 9b- H T Bolin. ss: C M Simms, 3b; mm f/'/l I ' * 7 I ; MARTIN PLAYS ALL ROUND SECOND. Jake Williams, rf; Algie King, If, and Dave Lenoir, cf. Earle Cook, W W Holliday and A Smith are also lent and much needed bridge repair ing and road work in this locality. Master Shaw Grier, who has been seriously ill for several days, is recuperating nicely and we hope will soon be restored to his usual good health. Mr John B McElveen attended the civil service examination at Kingstree Saturday for rural letter carrier. He was accompanied by his nephew, Mr B W McElveen, Jr, who will spend some time with relatives at Cades and Lake City. Mrs C B Dusenbury of Conway, who had been spending a few days at Mrs D D Rhem's during the illness of her little nephew,Shaw Grier, returned home Wednesday afternoon. She was accompanied by Mr G E Grier. Miss Rosa Lee Bragden of Sumter, who is considered one of the best trained nurses in the State, is here, attending Master Shaw Grier.

What will probably prove the most interesting series of the season here was the three game engagement with Lake City's team which opened Monday. The weather and other conditions were favorable and the game was gone into with unusual enthusiasm on the part of both teams while the fans on either side were bubbling over with it. The first game was hotly contested, but went to Lake City by a score of 2 to 1. The second game, played Tuesday afternoon,{went to Kingstree by a score of 4 to 1. The game yesterday afternoon, by far the most interesting of the series, fm LANHAM PLAYING FIRST. was won by the visitors, the score standing 1 to 0. T?-:s score, it is claimed, was made on a wild throw to second base during the last half of the eighth inning, up to which time neither team had scored. The Lake City team played good ball throughout the game yesterday, making only one error. The line-up was as follows: Mobley, cf; Tucker, If; Carmickle, rf;?Sturgeon, c; Stewart, 'lb; Chandler, 2b; Stokes, ss; Gravely, lb; Rokenbrod, p. The attendance at each of the games was large, yesterday's crowd being estimated at between 700 and J A LAKE CITY ROOTER. 800 spectators, among who were noted people from Manning, Alcolu, Georgetown, Lake City, Greelyville, Lanes and other points throughout the country. The Kingstree team left today for Georgetown where they will play this afternoon and tomorrow. Furni ription No. 1.
