In men whom men pronounce divine,

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.

at Kingstree last week as a "gentleman

BASEBALL SEASON
OPENED HERE.
KINGSTREE TAKES THREE GAMES
PROM MARION AND ONE
FROM LAKE CITY.
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;

Saturday for rural letter carrier.
He was accompanied by his

will spend some time with relatives
at Cades and Lake City.
Mrs C B Dusenbury of Conway,

She was accompanied by Mr

KINGSTREE VS LAKE CITY.
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

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,

The attendance at each of the
games was large, yesterday's crowd
being estimated at between 700 and
