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

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.

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
