The Sumter Base Ball Club left Sumter on last Monday morning for Panola, where they were to meet the Panola Club and cross bats. We had a very pleasant trip through Ute country. Ou our arrival at Panola we were taken in charge by Capt. D. W. Brailsford, who showed us every courtesy possible, and tried io give us a pleasant day. and right well he succeeded, for the boys are unanimous in declaring that of all tho trips we have taken, the one to Panola was by far the pleasantest, und we take this occasion of returning our sincere thanks to thu' Paaola Club and espe? cially lo Capt. Brailsford for our fine treat? ment and pleasant day. At night a dauce was given in honor of oar club, but being so fatigued by the long ride they had to forego the pleasure of attending.

Mr. Editor: Having heard a great many I complaints from citizens living below Poco- ! taligo Swamp in regard to the encroachments of the Eutawville li. R. on the causeway, | three miles South of Sumter, I would like to ! call theatte.Mtiou of the County Coruiuissioo ers to this matter. The said railroad makes a j bend on both sides of the swamp, crossing ! and running very near the highway-in fact, taking in a portion of thc public road for some i little distance-and crossing the swamp iu such close proximity to the causeway as to i take off one of the turn-outs and one corner I of thc bridge that spans the main stream. Thesw>imp is about haif-mile wide at this point, with no place for a vehicle to turn aroi nd: so that any one crossing the cause? way has no chance to get out of the way of j an approaching train. The ordinary horse is j not so gentle as to stand still asd allowa! train to pass a few feet a^ovc him, (tin? cm- ! Imnkmcnt being 12 or 15 feet above the road- j wav) and the result will be tbai. the traveler ! either has to go out of his wpy and hunt an- ! other crossing or run the risk of a runaway,, j and, perhaps, the loss'of his life. The cause- j way no doubt cost a good sum of tuonay and the taxpayer's of the County are too poor to j hu ve their money thrown away ia that style, I to suit the convenience of an)" corporation ! that happens to come along, it looks very much as if the Railroad Company made the bend above mentioned for the double purpose of saving thc cost of the right of way through some laud on this side of thc swamp, and in order to get near the causeway so that they could utilize it in constructing their embank? ment. Now, if the Company are to be al? lowed to build the trestle where they propose, I th ink our Commissioners should require them to construct another public causeway. By straightening the bend tn the oid cause? way it would improve matters somewhat. At any rate, the Commissioners should take the matter in hand, if they have not done so already, and uot allow a corporation to ride rough-shod over the public rights, and en? danger the lives and property of our citizens. M. -mm- -?KM?-- _ Bradford Springs Items. - BaADroao SFRIKGS, July 23, 1889. The rains continue through our section, and crop3 are looking finely. Some corn has fired pretty badly, but the most of it is doiug as well as possible. At the Grange pic nie at Rattle Snake Springs there was a large attendance. It is estimated that over seven hundred people went to the table ?Dd all seined fully satiofied. There was some speaking, mainly on the jute hagging question, which seems to be the main object of the Grange and Alliances at the present time. From what we can gather, they will whip the big bagging trust at i is own game, at least that is what is thought at pre? sent by most raen hereabouts. There wa3 a match gani J of bail ??laved be? tween the Smithville first .-.nd second nine on the 20lh inst, resulting iu a score 15 to 5, in favor of the first nine. Thc batteries were Bradley and Byrd for firsL niue, ?ind Boy ki a and Christmas for second nine. The Smith? ville^ will cross bats with the Camden boys on the first Friday in August next. There is little or no sickness in this section at present. TIOER. - -tm ???' Better Information. SMITHVILLE, S. C., July 20, 1889. Mr. Editor : For the beuer information of your many reader%, 1 would like to correct some statements made by "Old Bachelor" from Heriot's X Bond?, in r?f?rence to the pic nie at Rattlesnake Springs on the 17th. I would say :hat it was no', an Alliance plc nie, but a Grange dinner, j;iven by Cleveland Grange No. 407. to Pomona Grange No. 19. A3 to the hall spoken of, it is not an Alli? ance ball as stated, bat a Grange hall, built Strictly by Cleveland Grange. Also, the r -solution favoring cotton bag? ging, was offered and adopted by the Grange. While on the subject, 1 would remark that the Pomona Grange is, to the subordinate Grange, what the County Alliance is, to the Suti-Alliance, only a little more so. Pomona does not meet at any particular pltce, but meets quarterly with some one of the subordi? nate Granges. Hence these qnart?rlv Grange dinners are something that must he. Now, Mr. Editor, I am a member of thc Alliance myself, and in making these correc? tions only wish to "render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's," &c. A. P. ATRO?.

While thorough in "their action, they strata j late aud Stsengt bea the bo web aud secretory Morgans Sumter District Conference. FIRST DAY. The Sumter District Conference of the M E. Church, South, convened its nineteenth session at Bishopville, July 24-28. Rev. J I S. Beasley, Presiding Elder of the District presided throughout and so managed things as to relieve tho members of the Conference of all embarrassment, and yet to preserve per feet order. It has not been the privilege of this writer to attend a more harmonious or profitable District Conference than that just over. As these conferences are usually conducted, they are rather dry meetings so far as practi cal results are concerned, and especially so to those who visit the conference room. Thc time is usually Liken up in the reporting at length of dry statistics, &c, concerning charges. This year much to the satisfaction of all concerned Mr. Benshy instituted a departure from thc old routes, and mude the call as to charges very brief-just enough being asked to draw out facts upon which to base discus? sion of germane questions. The inquiries as to the spiritual condition of the church revealed generally a good con? dition, but in some places lack of attendance at prayer meeting, and considerable neglect on the part of members and parents to par? take of the Sacrement of the Lord's Supper, and to dedicate their children to God in baptism. These failures were iniade the sub? ject of discussion. The non-attendance of members at prayer meeting, discussed by Rev. J. L. Shuford. What should he the attitude of the church toward members who will not commune? discussed by Dr. E. J. Meynardie. The question, "What should be* the course pursued toward members who do not baptize their childreu ? opened by Rev. M. Michau, produced quite a lively discussion. Wc as Methodists believe that baptized children are in covenant relations with God and that they should not only be recorded as baptized but as non-communicating members of the church. SECOND DAY. The second day's session was devoted to the consideration of financial questions and the election of delegates to Annual Conference, and of a District Board of Education. The following questions were discussed : How can we manage to collect in full all Benevolent Assessments? by Revs. ll. M. Mood and E. T. Hodges. Is it a duty to contribute to the superan? nuates fund ? by Rev. J. C. Davis. Has the church Extension Society any de? mands upon us? by Rev. J. S. Porter. Do we pay our ministers a sufficient sal? ary ? by J. F. Rbame. The first ballot for the election of delegates to the next Annual Conference resulted in the election of F. L. Zemp, A. B. Stuckey, J. S. Cantey and J. R Phillips. W. J. McLeod and J. D. Smith were elected alteruates. The District Board of Education elect is as follows: Revs. H. M. Mood, E. T. Hodges, and Geo. H. Pooser, and Messrs. R. 0. Purdy, J. F. Rhame, W. J. McLeod, N. S. McLeod, B. M. Badger, J. A.Sprott and J. R. Phillips. THIRD DAY. On Saturday reports from Committees were heard and the Sunday Sphool and education? al interests examined iuto. Revs. Gattin, Pooser and Hodges discussed the question "What ought to be done about the ueglect of catechetical instructions in our schools?" The following resolution on this point, offered by E. J. Meynardie and J. S. Porter, was adopted : Resolved, That we as far as possible urge all of our Sunday Schools to use our church catechisms. The question how can we secure circulatory libraries in all of our Sunday Schools. Dis? cussed by Rev. E. 0. Watson. What is the duty of the church and pastors with reference to comnion schools? Discussed bv Rev. W. L. Wait. "Prof. A. G. Rember?, Head Master of Wof ford Fitting School, Prof. J. G. Cliukscales, of Columbia Female College and Dr. A. Coke Smith, of Wofford College delivered strong addresses on the general subject of education, and presented the claims ot their respective institutions. The collection taken for Wof? ford College endowment amouuted to about six hundred dollars. Thc follow iug resolution of thanks offered by E 0 Watson was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That our thanks are eminently due and are hereby tendered to the citizens of Bishopville for their hospitable entertain? ment of this body, and to our sister denomi? nations for the use of their churches on the Sabbath. Dr E. J. Meynardie arose in behalf of the Conference and in well chosen words express? ed the thanks and appreciation of the Confer? ence to their presiding officer for the highly profitable and entertaining session largely due to his discriminating judgmeut, and ur? banity in prejiding. On Sunday morning, Rev. A. Coke Smith, D D., preached in the Methodist Church, Dr. E. J. Meynardie in Presny terian Church, aud Rev. E. T. Hodges iu the Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon children's mass meeting at [ thc Methodist Church addressed by Prof J. j G. Cli.ikscales and Dr. A. Coke Smith. ! Sunday night Rev. E. 0. Watson preached in j the Methodist Church. Then there came the { parting-back we go to our fields of labor fecl ? ing that we ca?: do better work-and praying the presence and power of the Holy- Ghost that we may have a successful year, and our Zion grandly move forward. VISITOR. Clarondon News. From M'tnning Times. Miss Antin Stansill is visiting in Sumter. Mr3. Ann Conyers, of Summerton, and Miss Mary Ingram, of Sumter, are visiting at Mr. John S. Wilson's. Dr. S.

On Wednesday eveuing, July 17th, the young men of the Mechanicaville neighbor? hood gave another of their charming eve? nings, at Rose Hill, the beautiful country scat of Sumter's merchant princes thc Messrs. Ryttenbcrg. The devotees of Terpsichore had many a time before glided over the boards of the spacious machinery hal!, and had always upon the termination of thc previous scenes pro? nounced them "charming, exquisite, truly lovely," etc., but the committee in this case determined to make the occasion something finer and more recherche than any of the pre? vious affairs and nobly did they carry out their intentions. To say that the ball we attempt briefly to describe was, under the auspices of these gen? tlemen, a complete success, is only to echo the expression of all thc cuchanted^guests who were present. The ever capricious Jupiter Pluvius seemed disposed to favor the fair daughters of Sum? ter, Camden, Stateburg and Darlington, who were expected to grace the occasion, and has? tened to tear away the murky veil of clouds from the sky, and gave a welcome respite from his aqueous favors. Simon's fine string band of Sumter, was in waiting, the lamps brilliant, the floor well waxed, the dancers ready and waiting, so at 10 P. M., Mr. W. E. Dick, floor manager, gave the sigual, and in a moment the hall be? came a kaleidoscope of graceful forms, bright? ly colored drapery, glistening gems, and brighter eyes-a beautiful, bewildering spec? tacle. Waltz, galop, quadrille, followed each other in quick succession, until the thoughtful floor manager announced an intermission for refreshments, and in a trice, trim wailers tra? versed the floor, bearing trays on which were cups of delicious coffee, and plates of dainty sandwiches, desirable indeed, after a three hours of intent, earnest saltation. The talented elocutionist Professor J. Peron neau Gibbes then delighted the audience with an exquisite rendering of Henry Timrod's "A Year's Courtship." Mr. Gibbes is, as nearly all of your read? ers know, a master of recital, and upon this occasion, touched no doubt by the recollec? tions of his loved friend, the lamented sweet singer of South Carolina, the author of the beautiful lines, what wonder was it that all present declared that our gifted friend bad excelled himself, and that the immortal min? strel could have asked no better interpreter of the utterances of his wonderful muse. After the delightful interlude, dancing was resumed and uutil the god of day had drawn ? the veil of night from the face of rested nature, waltz, varsovienne, galop and cotillion kept the dancers busy iu a whirl of delight and pleasure. ' ; Messrs. Dick, Corbett and Rothschild of the ? committee of arrangments deserve great credit , for the management of the delightful occa? sion. \ We quote the following among the costumes of the ladies present : Mrs. E. R. Alston, white embroidered mull. No ornaments. Mrs. E. H Holman, black silk, dotted mull, Diamonds. Mrs. J. G. Maxcy, lawn-mull and orna? ments, i Miss M.

The didactical style in novels, though not a new departure in literature, is a style that most novelists avoid and few succeed in making effective. A novel generally pro? duces an ideal which the author offers to the world ns the creation of his imagination, aud if didactic, an idea for the inspection, criti? cism, and adoption of universal sense. In '.Robert Elsmere," Mrs. Ward offers a solu? tion to the relig ous problem of the age, weighty, and well sustained by Strong argu? ments. This is evident from the tact, that this book has caused a great deal of distur? bance in the pulpit, and the secular press have made it a subject for much and able dis? section, which makes us hesitate at this late day from presenting our crude and perhaps shallow investigation. Whether Mrs. Ward's religious views shall revolutionize the present system of religion and he adopted by any class of people as a rational view of religion it is unnecessary now to speculate, rather, let us first endeavor to form some conception to what constitutes religion in its earliest and latest development. Religion is a part of our psychical couslttulion existing since history's records begun, either in the shape of adora? tion of the sun, moon, or stars, of au imagi? native mythology or in monotheism ; always enshrouded io a veil of mystery, and referred to the influence of nature upon tho nervous sjstem ; a thunderstorm, signifying the dis? pleasure of Jupiter, a terrific gale attributed to the wrath of Poseidon. We find Abraham worshipping the sun in the morning and the moon at night; then finally resorting to a more mysterious creation of his imagination. Religion expresses itself in accordance with the different ages through which it makes its transit, and is colored by the spirit and com? plexion of each succeeding age, hence it is, that the Creator is defined, styled, and ador? ed after many fashions, as Mr. Wendover hath it, "It is thc key of the age, apply it, and thc elucidation is clear " In its infancy, en? veloped in a mysterious garb, gradually, the mystic cloak is drawn aside, the weak and vulnerable sides disclosed to the eye of the skeptic, its influence wanes, and an air of in? difference seizes upon the mind of man. A gradual decline now sets in, followed by its disappearance superccded by another religion more suitable to the progress of the age. The present ace may be justly styled, "Thc age of Jndiffcrentism." The miraculous power of Christianity fast wearing away, il fails to accomplish for thc present generation what it alleges to have accomplished centuries I ago, that is, in her infancy. The present - age, needs as much conviction n3 the gencra j tion of nineteen centuries ago. Can a Md. I Dis Debar with her spiritualistic ti's, play upon the Imagination of tho people of the present age, when she is so readily exposed by Prof. Harmon, and yet a spiritualistic medium easily deluded King Saul ? As a literary work "Robt. Elsmeres', will undoubtedly occupy a foremost position in thc literature of thc present time, its very high merits are readily conceded by all. Its graphic description of mankind ai.d of the scenery of nature, characteristic, pathetic, and dramatic; exposing the fmilta and weak? nesses of even her most elevated natures, I showing the truth of human nature, hence, in these regards, ?>?:r pen can produce only encomiums. In criticisiug'this volume then, apart from its literary features the inquin arises, Arc the religious views, which Mr?. Ward attempts to revolutionize as strongly j represented, as they might be; is this fair to Christianity us accepted by ttic majority ; and are the gradual changes in Mr. Elsmere'* mind well sustained by motives and argu? ments? What is thc religion which is offered to the world hy Elsmere, and on what does he base bis views? If wc admit, that he is right in rejecting miracles and the divinity of Thrift, on what dors bc base the doctrine which he offers to the world ? thc feathers of tlie fowl, but destroy tho Lo.Iv ? Aro not bis arguments merely theoretical, and his proof? flimsy and untenable? How inconsistent, tn one breath, telling us that miracles are the children of imagination, living with igno? rance, and withered by knowledge, in tlie other, that it is becoming plain ?o the modern eye, that the ignorant love of His first follow? ers, wreathed his life in legend, yet how can he esca?>e fronv Jesus of Nazareth, how put him aside as though, he had never been ? The New Testament is then, only the sentiments of the ignorant followers of Christ, where then ts the impartial Chronicler, that recorded Uic.tr us lifd: ched?, and ccuings ct, the ??JUL ' of Mau ? Have we the right tu deny, and sneer at the truthfulness of the New Testa? ment, simply buen use, the events as there re? corded took place nineteen centuries ago, and not in our day? Again, if Elsmere avails himself of the suggestion as offered by Langham, and Vendower, and accepts the measure of deduction ns his standard, in es? timating the truthfulness of eveuts, then why that great reverence for Jesus, why should the motto be, "This do in remembrance of me?" why should it be our urgent business to do our very utmost to bring this life of Jesus back into some real and cogent rela? tion with our modern lives and hopes as sug? gested? Why select Him as thc idol of our thoughts, His acts, as the standard of our actions? The chronic!?rs of his life and acts were the evangelists, Why believe them in part only, why not "in toto?" Mr. Editor, we merely throw out these few thoughts, upon a hasty perusal of this very clever vol time, but will most probably re? sume, if our analysis is of one whit interest to your manj' readers. OBITUARY. Died in Sumter, S. C., on the 23d day of July, 1889, infant daughter of IL R and M. Josephine Sanders, nged 2 weeks and C days. Within a few short years twice has the in? satiate Angel of Death eutered the chamber of these sorrowing parents and snatched from the cradle two of their precious jewels ; and while the gush of human tears may not he ?tifled, yet these bereft have no sorrow which ?hould remain unassuaged ; "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away," ?nd as they realize this, they should also feel ready to ex rlftim: "Blessed be the name of the Lord." Have not their dear little onts been trans? planted to the Father's bosom ere they expc rioncod the temptations and disappointments Df this poor, sorrowing world? Thu last loved and lost was the only daugh? ter, "A bud So beautiful it well mipht grace The bowers where Angels dwell, And waft its fragrance to His throne Who doeth all things well." A FRIEND. Magnolia, S. C., July 25, 1889. Its Excellent Qualities Commend to public approval the California liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs. It is pleasing to the eye, and to the taste and by gently acting on the kidneys, liver and oowels, it cleanses tho system effectually, thereby promoting the health and comfort of ill who use it, ---~*mm> "Oh, my back !" is a common exclamation, ind expresses a world of misery and suffering. It is singular this pain arises from such various causes. Kidney disease, liver com? plaint wasting effection9, colds rheumatism, dyspepsia, over work and nervous debility ire chief causes. When thus ailing seek prompt relief. It can be found best iu Brown's Iron Bitters. It builds up from the founda? tion by making thc blood rich and pure. Lending physicians and ministers use and recommend it. It has cured many, and if you are a sufferer, try it. Eleven cents a pound is the price which the housekeeper is paying for sugar which under Cleveland's adminis? tration cost but seven cents. Encouraged by tho thieves' tariff, the jolly Sugar Trust is indulging in a perfect carnival of plunder. Thc other Trusts are also applying the screws to their victims who are unable to find relief by kicking, for what good docs it do to kick against a combination that arc entrenched be? hind a 47 per cent, tariff? The people are realizing thc evil of the Trust robbery to which Grover Cleveland called their ! attention in his famous tariff reform mes? sage. -mmmmm>- -^mmmmmn Bucklon'e Arnica Salvo?

GENTLEMEN : The Elliott Douglas Cotton Gin purchased of your agent, gives perfect satisfaction. We have ginned over 500 bales of cotton on it without having to stop a sin? gle time on account of the Gin. We can safely say that it is far superior to any other gin, for the following reasons; 1st. It will gin welter cotton than any other gin. 2nd. It never gums the saws, we don't care how wet the cotton it. 3d. You can run it at a greater speed than any gin without knapping the cotton. 4th, and last, the sample can't be beat. We have used several kinds of gins, but none by any means equaling the Elliott Douglas Gin, and would advise all giuners to sec it run before they buy any other. As for the Feeder and Condenser, we would not ex? change them for any other, this being the first we ever used, but have seen many run. We know it takes out more dirt than any we have seen. We forgot to say above, our Gin has never choked in ginning over 500 bales of cotton. ' Res{?ectfij?lv, T. T. & C. H. BEAZLEY, For catalogue' prices and other testimo? nials, write O. M.
