State S. S. Convention. The eighteenth annual session of the South | Carolina Sunday School Convention will be j held io the Presbyterian Church, Newberry, j S. CM on August 13th, 14th and 15th. A \ complete programme has been arranged for each day, and a number of prominent Sub- j day school workers are down for speeches. I The following *ugee?uions are taken from the j circular issued t.y the Asesociatio? : Reduced rates have been granted by the \ Southern States Passenger Association from all points in the State. Ask your ticket | agent for them. Let all delegates notify M. A. Carlisle, chairman entertainment committee, New berry, S. C, that homes may be assigned them. Let each organized county send a delega tion It is desired that everj county be repre sented. In unorganized counties let one or more earnest S. S. workers attend without1 appointment. All who have completed the prescribed ! Normal course during the year are invited to j be present. Miss Pauline Gaillard and Mrs. John Cantev left Thursday afternoon tor Pawlev's island, where tbey will stay two weeks. Miss Louanna Brown, who has been on a visit to her brother in Birmingham. Ala., re turned home Thursday. The population of the jail ?3 growing in numbers. When court convenes the usua) crowd will probably be on hand for trial. Very few ladies went out to see the female bnllists play Monday afternoon. The ladies of this place are shy of bloomers. The cigarette fiend, especially the youthful fiend, is very much in evidence and rather offensive to ladies and others who do not like cigarettes, around church doors when the congregations are coming out. ?^The big ditch across Liberty Street at the corner of Washington, where the drain from the Graded School is being put down caused j a good many vehicles to go around the square Monday. Mrs. VV.C. Brougbton w'as its recipient of j a fine Jersey cow on la3t Monday evening. 1 Th? cow was bought in Greenville by Mrs. j Broughtoo's brother-in-law, Col. McBee, of j the Richmond aod Danville R. R., and . shipped D. H. by her brother, Supt. Cross well, of tbe Southern Express Company. sneak thief, with a long stick with a | hook on tne end, was detected Sunday night attempting to steal clothing from tbe house of ! Mr. M. C. Kavanaugh through ao open win- ! dow. When discovered tbe negro made hnste | to get away from the premises. The first boll of new cotton we have seen I comes from Mr. T. J. Toomey's Bell Mill place. The bel" is fully developed aod was j wide open when we saw it on Saturday after- J noon. The cotton crop in thMt section of the county is very fine for this year and more | advanced than crops in other sections of the county. Tbe negroes who are interested io politics held a meeting last uigbt to elect delegates to the county convention held to-day. The meeting was unusually protracted, remaining in session, it is said, until about 1 o'clock. Tbe candidates on the Keels ticket for the Constitutional Convention are scheduled to to speak at Spring Bill to-day, and it is to be supposed that tbe candidates whooped things up for their side to the best of their ability. If any one save tbe candidates are interested to aoy extent in these meetings, it does not appear on tbe surface in any section from which information has been received. Tbe colored reel squads and tbe book and ladder truck were called out for a practice ? run yesterday afternoon. Tbe start was made j from the reel bonse on Liberty Street and the ? finish was at Harvin Street. A gentleman who witnessed tbe game of j bail between tbe "bloomer"' female nine and j the Darlington club yesterday afternoon says that the crowd, composed largely of ladies, was highly pleased with the exhibition. The admission Monday evening will be 25 cents. Supt. Tribble has a light put out every uigbt to enable wayfarers who may fall into the excavation on Washington Street to se*e bow to climb out The embryo candidates for county offices at the next election are already going out into ? , the rural districts to get their political fence : in order. Some of the present incumbents I will have to build their fences horse high, ! bull strong aod pig tight if tbey purpose serv- j ' ing tbe public for another term. The candi- ; dates who will come out next year after the ; urgent solicitation of many friends will knock down any ordinary fence around a political pasture to get into an office. Tbe campaign meeting at Spring Hill on , Saturday did not materialize, although Capt. i , Keels was on hand and waited nearly all day ! ; for tbe expected crowd to gather. So few ? ? :ame out that no speeches were made and the : ( floods of eloquence did not rush down the i j terraced hill-sides of old Spring Hill. The I j next meeting is scheduled for Bishopville, j , ind there, perhaps, a crowd will gather to \ ? lear the candidates who want to go to the t Convention. j j The Republican Convention Saturday took \ ao action that altered tbe situation. A full \ t ticket was not nominated, as some of the lead- t its of tbe negroes annouueed would be done. ; t rhe convention ratified the nomination of W. t . Andrews and R. H. Richardson, and e dected a committee to manage the campaign, c rhe coramitttee h*s power to fili the four! racancies on the ticket. The committee is as ?llows: R. H. R;chardson, W. T. Andrews, 3. C. Scott, W. E. Joh3on, R. C. Wesberry, S. K. Jones, and-Kershaw. 5 A negro girl was knocked from the track ! t >n Saturday by tbe passenger train on the i . 3. S. and . Road, and strange to say, she ^ scaped practically uoburt. She was over- J aken by the train just around the curve, Tear Roach's saw mill, and it was impossible ^ "or the engineer tosee the giti unti! the en jine was almost upon her. The train wk^ unnintr at a speed o! abuuf 25 miles an lour, and tbe escape of the -, from death >r serious injury was little short o? wonder "ul. Her apron whs torn r<r! arid a bask e*. <>:' >erries, which she was carrying on her arm- * a-hs cut into two nieces. The train was d topped and several persons who went to pick s ip tLe body, us they supposed, found the a ;irl sitting it; the ditch lamentine the loss of .J he basket and berries. e THE KEELS TICKET. Two Men Addeu ^ the Four Who Have Said Already that They Want to Go to the Con vention. The Keels ticket has t-een completed by tbe j addition of two white men?Messrs. H. H. Evans aod J. E. DuPre, of Spring Hill?and Capt. Keels teels that there can now be no excuse for the circulation of rumors that he j and his ticket would combine with tbe two ? negroes nominated by the Kepublicau coo- : n'ion. ? Capt. Keels is very forcible :n his , denial of tbe reported combination, and equally as forcible and explicit in bis charac : terization of those wbo have circulated the ! reports. He is indignant that be should be ; charged with combining with tbe "oigger." The Keel9 ticket as now presented to the j public aod be-saekiog the votes of the demo ocrats of tbe coooty is as follows : W. A. James. J. E. DuPree. Jacob Keeis. L. D. Jeooings. H. H. Evao9. D. E. Keels. Those wbo attended the picnic at Bishop- ! ville Thursday had a delightful time. The County Medical Association held their regular quarterly meeting last Friday at the : Bank of Sumter. A platform has been built betweeo tbe j tracks opposite the freight depot to facilitate the transfer of freight. A horse attached to a buggy ran away down Main street last Friday from Ricker's j Lane to Liberty stteet.

Dick Holdmau was com- ; mined for assault and battery with intent to '. kill, and Succrssus Burrows for obtaining goode ander false pretenses. The board of city school commissioners has elected Miss Lilah Tailey to a position in ; tbe city schools to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Bonham. Miss ! Tailey rnutrtit with great success in the city schools of Suinter last session. This position ! she resigned last week to accept ihat referred j to above aud her friends will be glad to know that 9he is to remain at home this winter.? The State Mr. Cbas F. Kiogsmore, of Birmingham, | Ala., arrived in the city last Friday afternoon j and has taken charge of the prescription department at China's drug store. Mr. Kingsmore has had fourteen yeare experience I in the business and is a iiceosed druggist ! Mr. Kingsmore will occupy a room on the floor above tbe store, so hs to be ensily acces sible to those who may wish to have prescrip tions filled at nigh t. George Butler, Piockoey Horny, Willie ! Harris, Lewis Bowec aod James Taylor, all colored, were brought to this place from Eastover last Wednesday and committed to jail for safe keepiog. They a.e charged with | breaking into box cars and stealing various articles of freight. Sheriff Catbcart, of Richlind and one of j hia deputies came over that night for the Bastover train robbers and carried tbem to Columbia next morniDg for commitment to jail. Chief of tbe Fire Depar'meot Bloom called out the reel squads at 6.30 o'clock last Wed nee- j day for tbe purpose of giving them a test. The run was made from the reel houses on Liberty Street to tbe coroer of Harvin Street. Tbe squads were directed to unreel 500 feet of hose, make coooectioc aod throw a stream of water. By a misuoderstandiog of the or ders Mooaehan squad uoreeled ooly 200 feet. Delgar pulled off the 500 feet and made the first connection. The run from the reel bouses to Harvin Street was up to any race seen lately. Tbe tobacco warehouse will be formally ! opened for business about the 25th iostaot. The 20th was selected for the first "break," j but tbat being election day, tbe appointment bas beeo cancelled. The date for the open-J iog has not been selected, but will be an- ! nouoced within a few days. A full corps of ! buyers will be on hand throughout the sea- j sod, aod to make sure that sellers receive the foil valoe of their tobacco, the directors of! the Warehouse Compauy have instructed : the manager to buy io all tobacco that ? ? ! pears to be going for less than its market ! value. The Warehouse Compaoy will take i the risk ot reselling the tobacco thus bought. ! There will be no chaoce for tbe buyers to j form a combination aod control tbe market to ; tbe detriment of tbe sellers. Every man who bas tobacco to sell can rest assured that be ; will get all his crop is worth if he brings it ! to Sumter. Let everybody keep their eyes on the Sumter tobacco market. Coroner Commander was called out of bed ; tbe other night by a negro man who said that he had found a dead white man in the j big ditch near Col. T. V. Walsh's residence. ; When Mr. Commander made inquiries, the 1 oegro was positive that he had found a | :orpse, for, said he, "the man is down in the bottom of the ditch, on his face and in the ' water." Mr. Commander went immediately ! to the scene in company with his informant, : aut when the place was reached, there whs no dead man to be found. From a crowd )f negro woman standing ?round on the iitcb bank it was learned that tne man i who had been in the ditch was very drunk, i r?e had been raising a row in the neighbor- . lood and a negro becoming tired of it knock- j id him into the ditch, where he lay in an insensible condition for some time, thus cr??t- j ng the belief tbat he was dead. While the nan who went for Mr. Commander was ab )ent, a woman climbed down into the ditch ind raised the dend man up, and he revived, ?e was then helped out of the ditch, and he ; vent on home. The negroes who were pr?s- ! m? when the row occurred, were rather ! jneasy at first, as the prompt summons to ! he Coroner gives evidence. They thought hey had a dead man on their hands sure oough. And they might have had had the litch not been dry. Wide Awake Officers. At the last meeting of Wide Awake Reel Squad, No i, the following officers were Iected : Foreman, J. ( .

Miss Mamie Diokins, who taught in the school last year, with satisfaction to tbe majority of the patrons, ! but wbo was not re-elected at the time the teachers were elected for the ensuing year, was elected. The election of Miss Dinkina will give satisfaction to a grrat many of tbe patrons of the school. j Tuesday next, the 20th instant, is election ? day Vote.

He and another man were moving a log with hand- j spikes, aod by some means the log dropped suddenly, causing the hand-spike to fly out : of Mr. Smith's hand and one end struck him under the chin with considerable foree. His ? chin and neck were severely bruised and cut, j and be has been laid up since the day after the accident. Base Ball. A game of ball was played Friday after-? noon between a team from Camden and the ! second nine of this place. Some time ago the : local nine went to Camden and lost the game. : The game of ball between Camden and ; Snmter Friday afternoon was witnessed by a pretty good crowd of small boys and others, and all were satisfied for Surater did Camden up to the tune of 13 to 12, after a well played game. Each club bas a game to its credit and the tie wi? have to be played ! off. The Orangeburg ter.m won the game from j the Sum ter team Thursday by a score of 3 to i 2. The game from beginning to end was 1 closely contested and exciting. Every inn ing was a hard fought battle and the Sumier : team made a good fight. The same teams played again Friday afternoon The second game resulted in a bad defeat for the Surater team. The score wae JO to 4 against Sumier. The boys all had a fine time notwithstanding that they were defeated in both games. The female base ball players arrived from Florence last night, where they played on Saturday, d.efeaiinsr the Florence boys by a score of 10 to 9. In Darlington, on Friday, tbe Darlingtob club won the gam?, tbe score being 9 to 7. In Rockingham, or Thursday, ; the lady champions won the game by a score ot 13 to 9. There are nine ladies in the' team and three men who attend to the busi- j ness affairs of the team. Miss Lizzie Arling ton is the pitcher, and is the only lady pitch er who is able to pitch the curves used by pro'essional players. A base ball game between the Bishopvtlle and Surater clubs, colored, on last Thursday resulted in a victory for the Sumter club. Tbe score was 24 to 19. There were several hundred persons out to see tbe baee ball girls play ball in short ; skirts "Monday afternoon, and they were ; disappointed because they did not see a game ; played out to the end of innings. Tbe local team that is generally known as tbe first nine had a disagreement with the management ; about the division of tbe gate receipts, and, in consfquence, refused to play tbe game. A substitute team was made up and- the game began shortly after 5 o'clock. Two cf the base ball girls could not play on account of j illness and their places were supplied by two of tbe Sumter club. The game was inter* rupted by rain, and was not played out. The playing was not brilliant in any particu lar, but tbe crowd seemed to enjoy the nov elty of seeing a crowd of women chasing e.round the diamond after the ball. Two of tbe pUyers might be called handsome women ?the short stop and tbe centre fielder?while the other seven were decidedly homely. Tbe pitcher was said to be a decidedly good ! curve, but is not a phenomenon by any means. As a ball game the exhib?- ! tioc yesterday afternoon was a very de cided failure, but as a novel species 1 of amusement it was a success?especially as far as the gate receipts were concerned. The : female players did not wear the regulation bloomer, nor.the divided skirt abomination, but a short skirt, knicker-bocker, stockings and a blouse waist. Tbe costume was some what similar to the conventional bathing suit, but it covered decidedly more of the wearer's person than a bathing suit manages to do, even before it shrinks from the effects : of the surf's saline caresses. As far as u- ! tume is concerned an aggregation of base ; bail girls is not in it at all with a beach scene, ! in the altogether, to use ore of the apt phrases in Trilby. A base ball team made up from several nines went to Camden Manday nigh*, to play a game to day, Messrs. Harry Hood and Bill Moran went along as chaperonc:. How's This?
