THURSDAY. JULY 8. 1915. | IN BENSON'S UAlLivvitn. I Cedar Swamp Defeats Indiantown at Baseball. Benson, July 5:?Twice or thrice previous to last Saturday the Cedar Swamp and Indiantown base ball teams have crossed bats and each game resulted in an easy victory for theCedar Swamp boys,but last Satu-day the Indians nr.et the Cedar Swamp boys with a "war-whoop" on the diamond and this, with the enthusiastic rooting, of the fans, razzle daz. zled the visitors completely. It was a good game, for several innings neither side making a score. About / s ihe fifth, however, Cedar Swamp made a score and the Indians did likewise. The tie had to be broken and Indiantown did the work by ^ doubling the scores on the visiting team before the game ended. However, the Cedar Swamp team seemed to be invincible and played a second game in the afternoon/when the players on both sides kept the umpire, John J Snow, strictly on the alert to decide quickly on the close runs and field work of the teams. Soon the Indians began to weaken and the visitors heaped up scores on them until the game was called on account of approaching darkness. The visitors departed for their homes with a kindly feeling towards the genteel young men of the opposing i team and a long lingering recollec- ; fion of the grand dinner, elegantly i served by the ladies of that section, i Ye scribe regrets that he was not present on the festive occasion at i * " ' " ?*i j a. _r Indian town, ne wimesseu uie tu- ; ternoon game and was informed j that a large crowd gathered early in the morning in the grove uear ! the old Indiantown church with the < usual .concomitants of weil filled < baskets prepared for gratifying the i appetites on this holiday occasion ] {the day before the fourth).

All nature aeemed attuned to make the day one of bright sunshine, beauty and gladsome gayety and so it was until in 1 the afternoon,when a distant cloud brought down a refreshing shower j but deared away just at the appoint- j ed tim6 for the ball game. , WES. , Twonegroes were lynched by a [ posse of Jones county citizens late g Sunday night, as a result of the J murder of Silas Turner, a promi- -] nent young farmer of Hillsboro, Ga, J early Sunday morning. ^ Miss Carrie West, a well known [ woman about 40 years of age, com- j mitted suicide at her home in Spartanburg last Thursday by hangin; herself in a closet.

SCRANTON GLEANINGS. i __ Delightful Sunday-School Picnic --Temperance Army Active. Scranton, July 6:?The Baptist Sunday-school held its annual picnic July 2 at the homestead of Mrs Fannie M Lee, east of Scranton. The feast of edibles showed no sign of war times. The 64-fcrot table was laden with many tempting dishes, which were enjoyed by the crowd, who stood shoulder to shoulder on the four sides. The dishes are nameless here,but it may be guessed that ?ne dish was on the menu of which Rnntista as well as Methodists are fond?chicken. Lemonade and iced | tea were also served. A number of the boys took a swim in the river near by, while the other young folk ?njoyed games and strolled 'neath shade trees around this historic farm bouse. Here kodaks were brought into play, while blushing maidens winced and raised umbrellas, but to no avail! The outing was a day of good cheer and was enjoyed by all who participated. The Loyal Temperance legion gave a patriotic parade through town Saturday afternoon, declaring on their posters and banners independence of the rule of the liquor traffic; asking the manhood of our State to free us from its tyranny September 14 next, when the people of South Carolina will vote on the liquor issue. A handsome little boy carried this motto: "The liquor traffic gives $23 in revenue for a boy. Would you sell me for that?" A small girl carried a banner which bore this motto: "Alcohol is a poison." Others car-1 ried banners on which were written:! "Vote dry," "Vote for me," etc. i All wore beaming faces that seemed j prophetic of better days for South j Carolina. After the parade, refreshments were served the young campaigners at the home of Mrs R B, Cannon. The Christian Citizenship entertainment,scheduled for Friday night, j July 9, at the school, promises to be a success and draw a record audi- i ence. The programme includes pa- ] triotic songs, recitations, a play, "Dame South Carolina Out for Prohibition." in which Uncle Sam and Aunt Columbia will hold the interest of the audience. A debate and oratorical contest will complete the programme. The public is cordially invited to attend. No admission charged. Mr A W Ward of Cades, who has served as marshal here for about t\yo j years, has resigned Ms position, or, j in other words, ' Policeman Ward, of our town, Has seen fit to give up his crown. Mr Francis Eaddy and his sister, Miss Lillian,of Bushnell,Fla\ in company with their cousin, Mrs?Thorpe of Lake City, spent Monday in town with ielatives. About a dozen of the town folk spent Sunday at the Isle of Palms. A number also took in the festivities at Darlington Monday. ,Mr Harvey Parker, one of the town boys, now in the coast artillery at Soathport, N C, is at home for a few days. He is looking well and seems to be enjoying the life of a soldier. , Mrs C H Pate has returned, after spending a pleasant visit with a former schoolmate, Miss Rosa Harper, at Nesmith. Mr J M Myers, Jr, treated his Sunday-school class to a straw-ride Dne night last week. The caravans consisted of the aforesaid personage, two wagons, drivers, chaperons, happy youths,cake and ice cream, and a visit to the movies at Lake City. IMG. REEDY CREEK SPRINGS. Kingstree Citizen's Sketch of This Pleasant Resort. Reedy Creek Springs, Dillon Co, S C, July 6. Editor County Record:? The caption shows you where I im, and you know what that act of joing off to the springs means. With , nost people it means that they have noney and want to spend it having 1 \ good time by getting other people lo for them while they rest, eat, , ileep, recreate and every other thing bat suits and pleases one's fastidity. [bat is all very nice on one side, but jowerfully hot and tiresome to those vho are turning at the wheel and grinding out the grits to the con?umer. I reckon it's right?it may >e, for it is voluntary on both sides ?the one throws out the bait, the j >ther snaps it in, so here we go.

C C Burgess", Supervisor of Registration for the Town of Kingstree, S C. 7-8-tf j . f . 4 Greek Springs? If you ever intend to | write the history of your travels and | don't come here, that history will be i most incomplete and you will have j missed a second home with home surroundings and its comforts. There are rural attractions here that carry you away from the whirl and tedium of town or city life. It is such a home to all lovers of a good home that one regrets that his stay is to come to an end and he must part with and cut asunder (perhaps forever) associations that are so uncommon at most health resorts. The host and hostess,Mr and Mrs Walter Bryan, of our county, with their two noble sons and their little perpetual motion,Miss Geneva,who,like a little hummingbird,flits and flits here,there and everywhere, but nev.er sits, in fact, they are all busy as bees turning out honey. The cuisine is all one can desire, or his appetite calls for. If one desires anything else he simply ought not to have it; he's a spoilt kid and should be put in the garret. I said Mr and Mrs Bryan have two noble sons here at home. Yes, they D r_n? ?? ?.u? I are nuuie ieuuw?, verjr uuuivc- mc most of the nobility of our own town, who toil not, neither do they spin, and who are a long way from Tipperary. These boys are as busy as their sister, forever on the buzz. Cuttino is a prosperous little merchant at Bingham. You remember he had his thigh cut off by a gin several years ago. Theodore (they call him Bill because when he first saw the light his daddy said he looked just like Bill Lee, of our town, so he has been called Bill ever.since) has a 5-passenger Ford and conducts the passenger traffic from Bingham to the springs and from the springs to North Carolina and other points,and he is just suited for the work. The boys are jovial,cultured fellows, and the girls all seem to have both eyes on them, but it seems they have not decided on which one yet. They love their home too well to have one of their own. The Government of France has offered 20,000,000 francs to the inventor of perpetual motion. It has not yet been claimed by any inventor. Many suitors ranging in ages from those in their teens up to a septuagenarian have sought the hand of that other perpetual motion, but in vain. Selah! These springs are aristocratic in *1 ii- l ? ? i l- I m piain or stripes.* 1 We would sugg< Beach suits with exti Comfortable. The S price you've been pa; see them.
