GREAT BALL IN KAYESVILLE. Sumter Wins After Hart? Contest-Score 3 to I. Mayesville, Sept 9.-The prettiest game of bnll seen here in years, was played this afternoon between Sumter and Mayesville. The battery work of both teams deserves special mention. The long fly catch of DuPont for Sumter and the catch of Gallagher at second for Mayesville were features. The home team was badly handicap? ped by the absence of ene of the best players. The following was the official score : Batteries: Cuttino and Miller (Sum? ter; ; Mayes and Shaw (Mayesville).

A r;etition to the County Board of Control was circulated Thursday after? noon endorsing the action of the board in ordering the establishment of an? other dispensary in this city and re? questing the board to have the new dispensary located on upper Main Street. The writer has not seen the petition but is informed that among other things it sets forth the belief of the petitioners that the location of a dispensary on upper Main Street would enhance the value of property in its vicinity at least 50 per cent. The petition was not as generally signed by any means as the protest against the proposal to establish the dispensary, but it is stated that some? thing more than 25 names were affix? ed to the petition, most o' them busi? ness men and property oveners on Main Street, north of the Court House.

H. 6UV AND ICE CREAM. The Festival Held at St. Charles. I scream for space to say that the ice cream festival, in the interest of the new school building at St. Charles, came off on time and according to pro? gram, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Jenkins, and was a recherche affair in several aspects, and our guar? antee of "a pleasant and enjoyable evening" held good to the last minute, for Mrs. Jenkins was not only "a Princess of hospitality and good cheer but proved ?herself a veritable Queen of the feast and fully worthy of the name, Eva, which in the Hebrew is interpreted "causing life." The lady Princesses in attendance were Mesdames Dwight L. Shaw, Edwin Wilson, K. E. Wells and Joseph Atkin? son. Miss Minnie MCutchen, teacher elect, with Misses Minnie Raffield of Sumter and Louise Gillespie of Rock Hill were Queens of the elfish fairies who acted as waitresses, and nymphish Queen were they indeed. The fairy elfs of the salver host were represent? ed by Misses Flossie Jenkins, Janie Wilson, Mary Hart Montgomery, Katie, lone and Louise Reid and Susie Jenkins, Queens and Elf were each crowned with dainty caps of immaculate white which left only wings to be added as the finishing touch ; but nothing was wanting, to add to the ambrosial flavor of the cream and sherbets and lemonade lavishly and gracefully dis? pensed to thirsty purchasers. Mrs. Jas H. Chandler and Miss Daisy Scott, of your city, graced the occasion with their genial presence. Oswego sent the largest contingent from any single point. Bishop ville was represented by several of her courteous and courtly young gentle? men. Mrs. Turner, of Oswego, kindly opend the musicial repertory, at the piano, with charming instrumental and vocal selections and was succeeded by Misses Hattie Kell and Lottie Reid of the Confederate College, Charles? ton, who did honor and reflected much credit upon their alma mater by their skill, grace and tasty handling of the ivory, and attracted ranch attention thereby. Then came Misses Katie and lone Reid, who have barely reached their teens, but nevertheless, proved that they will be worthy successors of their elders by acquitting themselves most admirably. Th<* Queen of the feast herself closed the musicale with a concord of sweet sounds. Varied games, promenades and well, sweet communion of souls (we reckon; en? tertained others. Later it was decided to open a vot? ing booth for the gallants to decide upon the most popular young lady. Votes were openly bought and sr ?ld without demur. The chivalry of Oswego being in large force and gener? ous frame, and reinforced hy local allies, proved their patriotism by planking down and plumping Miss Inez Brown of their own town. Thank you boys, for your generous contributions. We can alford to be magnanimous regarding the loss of the election as we'll now have our superior school building and also still have Miss Minnnie McCutchen as it's presiding genius to grace it. We most forgot to say that the masculine auxil I iaries were Messrs. Maxwell Jenkins Edwin Wilson and D. L. Shaw. A goodly supplemental sum was realized, i Your old scribe received all the at j tentions he was looking for from ; Queen nad Princesses and nymphs and ! elf s and was made to feel very like ! the little boy whose indulgent auntie said "Here Pet, is a big box of candy aunty's got for you, now tell auntie what else you want." "Xover box candy" he answered. "Ohno darling, aunty's afraid another box of candy will hurt your little tummy: think of something else." "Nover tummy," and we came near needing "nover tummy," too. Guv. Wee Nee, Sept. 9, 1901. Protest Against the New Dispensary. Wednesday afternoon a paper endors? ing the action taken by City Council in respect to the establishment of another dispensary and protesting in the name of the citizens of Sumter against the action of the County Board of Control was circulated 8nd more than 175 signatures secured. Only a few-not a half dozen-of those to whom- the paper was presented re? fused to sign it, and it is safe to say that ninety-five per cent of the citi? zens of Sumter would sign it had they the opportunity of doing so. The writer has never known such una? nimity of opinion respecting any ques? tion in which the people of Sumter were interested. They all with a few exceptions condemn the proposition to establish another dispensary and none are outspoken in favor of it. The people are agreed that another dispensary is unnecessary and will, if established, be hurtful to the com? munity instead of beneficial. Feeling as they do they have united in a re? spectful request to the County Board of Control to rescind the action taken at the special meeting on Monday, and it is hoped that when the petition is presented to the County Board of Con? trol tomorrow that body will see fit to rescind its action and make no further attempt to establish another dispen? sary in this ctiy. Mysterious Thirteen. The fall campaign of the Mysterious Thirteen was inaugurated on Thurs? day afternoon with a delightful surry drive followed by a scuppernong feast. The drive was given the circle by two young gentlemen who are great favor? ites of the members of the Thirteen. LYNCHBURG HAPPENINGS. Death of Miss Lucy McLeod-Personal and Local Items. Magnolia, S. C., Sept. 6.-The sad news of the death of Miss Lucy, daughter of the late Capt. W. J. McLeod, on yesterday morning , was indeed a shock to this community. She died at her brother, Rev. D. M. McLeod's home in Blacksburg, S. C., after a long and lingering ^illness. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. O. A. Darby, assisted by the Rev. J. W. Humbert at the Lynch? burg M. E. Church today at ll o'clock a. m., and the remains laid to rest in the Lynchburg cemetery. An unusually large concourse of friends and relatives attended the funeral of this most excellent and estimable lady. The bereft family has the sym? pathies of this entire community. We have had several days of fine weather for picking cotton, which gives farmers and merchants much brighter countenances. Cotton continues to open very rapid? ly, but a top crop is lacking which means "short crops." I hear of a number of cases of fever, but none serious, so far. Our physi? cian, Dr. Darby, doesn't have much leisure time. Messrs. T. R. McIntosh and Henry Hickson, now of Columbia, are visit? ing their parents for a few days. Mrs- J. M. McElveen and daughter, of Rafting Creek, are visiting at Col. J. A. Rhame's. Miss Etta Bagnall, of Manning, is visiting at Mrs. Hawkins'. Dr. Parker, of North Craolina, will locate in this place, but he'll have a hard road to travel for a while at least Messrs. J. S. Potts and L. D. Moore are putting additions to their resi? dences. Mr. T. N. Griffin is opening a new street. Mr. S. C. Kilpatrick is overahuling his ginnery, and increasing his steam power. Hon. T. B. Fraser and H. W. Scar? borough, of Sumter, are in town to? day.

Our Washington Letter. The News Discussed at the Cap? ital. Washington, Sept. 9.-The terrible calamity which has befallen President McKinley has been almost the sole topic of conversation in Washington since Friday night. The news came just as people employed in the depart? ments were going home to dinner, and just before the shops closed for the night. There were some hundreds of people who cid not go home to dinner at all. They stood about in front of the bulletin boards watching for the latest reports and discussing the news. The three great newspaper offices, the Times, the Post and the Star, all occupy buildings on Pennsyl? vania avenue within about four blocks of each other, and that part of the great thoroughfare was black with people. To one standing in front of the Treasury and looking toward the Capital it might have seemed that an actual shadow had fallen across the pathway which has been twice 1 traversed by President McKinley on ! his way to take the oath of 'inaugura? tion. These crowds were not mere curiosity-impelled sensation-hunters. They felt a sense of personal afflic? tion, for there has been no more popu? lar President in the White House since its erection than Mr. McKinley has been so far as his private character is concerned. His enemies are made by his public acts and the party to which he belongs ; his personal friends are found in all parties. The lesson taught by this tragic event was pointed out immediately. As one energetic person put it, in discussing the first bulletin, "This means 'Round up the Reds!' " While to the masses of the people the tragedy was unexpected and unaccountable, it was not so to many astute observers of public events in this city and else? where. The assassinations of the Em? press Elizabeth and of King Humbert foreshadowed only too plainly the selection of another victim in the near future, and the United States, as yet untouched by Anarchistic plots of this kind, was the field likely to be select? ed for the next coup. President Mc? Kinley owed his misfortunate to the 1 fact that he happened to be President at this particular time, not to any? thing whatever that he may have done. This is fortunate, since it relieves j all his antagonists from the fearful odium of having suggested or encour? aged any crazy fanatic to commit such a crime. The matter had been care? fully arranged and planned by a so ! ciety of Anarchists, and the man selected to do the deed calmly did as he was told. The question is, how such things can be prevented in fu? ture. It is futile to expect to prevent them by guarding all public men. The network of police in Russia does not protect the Czar. 'There is no way of shutting out immigrants which wiil absolutely nullify the danger. The suggstion of a morning paper the day after the event, that restriction of immigration is the lesson which it teaches, became absurd when it was found that the assassin was born in this country. The remedy seems to be strict police supervision of such dan? gerous societies. They are against the law, as much as a burglars' asso? ciation or a murder club would be ; in fact, they are murder clubs. They should be compelled either to hold their meetings in public, with the understanding that incendiary speceh es will not be tolerated, or they should be suppressed, imprisnoed and deport? ed. It will not do to tolerate such epidemics, any more than to let small? pox remain unquarantined. The Navy Department h^s concluded that Captain Forsyth's explanation of his alleged newspaper interview on the Schley case may be accepted, and he is forgiven. Possibly the compari? son with the case of Admiral Howison and Captain Chadwick, so promptly made by a dozen alert papers, had had something to do with this magnanim? ity, for an interrogation point some? times pricks. The historic National Watchman, once the Silver Knight, started by Senator Stewart, has been put into the hands of Mr. Bryan. Mr. A. A. Adee, Assistant Secretary of State, has gotten himself into a little very hot water. He wrote a let? ter to Director-General Buchanan of the Pan-American Exposition advis? ing him not to invite the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to come to the Exposition. The letter was personal and unofficial, and intended to save embarrassment to everybody. Mr. Adee, in his official position, was aware of the fact that that the Duke and Duchess would not leave Canada on their tour, that they had declined all invitations to foreign countries', and that they would either have to de? cline this one or be obliged to ignore it, neither of which would be very pleasant for them or for Mr. Buchan? an. The diplomatic circle of Wash? ington has talked about the letter more or less, and the general opinion seemed to b? that Mr. Adee should not have writen it even in an entirely per? sonal and unofficial way. Such are the troubles of kind-hearted people who want to do some good in the world. Before last Friday there were two reputed Presidential booms moving ?about the country, but it is safe to say that neither of the alleged aspirants is thinking much about them now. One of these booms was Vice-President Roosevelt's, and the other was that of Senator Fairbanks. The contrast which these two men present in their qualicfiations for the position of Chief Magistrate is curious. Roosevelt owes his prominence to his positive opin? ions, while Fairbanks- -well, Fair? banks is known to some people as a "gum-shoes" statesman, if you know what that means, and he was never known to have an opinion that any? body could remember. Some people say that tlie only platform on which he could stand would be the multipli? cation table.

His Work For His Country Goes on in Holland. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, writing from Hilversnm, Hol? land, nnder date of August 20, gives an interesting description of Presi? dent Kruger's mode of life at that place. He says : It is so difficult to find Hilversnm on the map of Holland that one might easily infer it is a small place commer? cially, but from a social viewpoint it is one of the most important places in Holland. Here, as at The Hague, the rich Hollanders have their homes and Hilvresum is a very attractive sum? mer resort. It is so distinctly Dutch, however, that one has difficulty in finding an inhabitant who speaks English. Casa Cara is the name of the house where the President lives. It is on the Trompenburg road, and quite a distance from Hilversnm. It is, in fact, a boarding house where the President of the South African Repub? lic has taken up his headquarters and where, with his Cabinet, he conducts the affairs of the South African republic. If anyone has the idea that Presi? dent ^ Kruger is not of the political running since his establishment in Europe he would be quickly disabused by a viist to Hilversnm, especially if he had my good fortune and was ad? mitted to conversation with the Presi? dent and his council. The little coun? try house which harbors the Transvaal leaders is the centre of a widespread political activity, whose ramifications take in England, Central Europe, South Africa and even America. Seated in his study at Hilverrsum, with his big Bible and his briarwood pipe in front of him, the old man is in touch with the Boer cause and the Boer interests all over the world. Working in the next room is the Cabi? net, which, under the President, di? rects the whole European policy of the Transvaal and even the general movements of the war. The chief of service, Mynheer C. van Boeschoten, with his assistants, E. J. Bok and P. A. van Veen, as well as the former chief of police of Johannesburg, Myn? heer Bredell, control a minutely organ? ized system of information and direc? tion which makes Hilversnm for the moment as active and important a diplomatic centre as any in the world. With the aid also of the bureau in Brussels, of which Dr. Leyds retains the control, there has been establish? ed between the President and the gen? erals in the field a series of means of communication which keeps the Eng? lish war office in perpetual astonish? ment. Repeatedly has come from Hil? versnm news of English disaster which it had been decided in London to stifle: repeatedly the English have been disagreeably surprised to discover from Boer tacites in the field that Gens, Botha or DeWet must have had private knowledge of secret decisions of the English war office or of its cable communications to Engilsh generals. The "Cabinet" at Hilversnm is, in fact, a wonderfully organized secret service bureau, reminding one in its efficiency and general methods of that established at Washington during the war of secession. Nothing escapes it. Its emissaries, bearing dispatches from the President, penetrate into the heart of the country, and its spies and agents in the Transvaal reach Hil? versnm from the scene of action by ways which defy all the preventive measures the English can adopt. While the writer was with President Kruger there arrived Mr. Beerans and Mr. Pameyer, two important function? aries, bringing important communica? tions from the front. How did they get through? The Portuguese are sup? posed, probably with reason, to be in the pay of the English ; why do they not stop the Transvaal agents? That is one of the secrets of the Cabinet; but one thing is certain, that they do not. An important part of the work pf the Cabinet is that performed in England itself by the judicial manipu? lation of political undercurrents there. Boer agents, working by all kinds of secret means, under special direction of Dr. Leyds himself, are engaged per? petually in striving to create a public opinion against the waging of the war. Through the Liberal newspapers facts and figures are circulated tending to discourage the mass of the people or to make them ashamed of the meth? ods of subjugation. The lecture platform is largely used also for the same purpose. Several leaders of the Irish revolutionary movement have lent effective aid in this way, as also by the more indirect device of pro? claiming in Ireland itself a kind of boycott of the English army : the re? cruiting sergeants that used to make such liberal hauls of good fighting flesh and blood in the Green Isle are beginning to find their efforts and elo? quence wasted as a direct result of this move. The numerous Pro-Boer meet? ings organized among the Irish in America have received their first im? pulse from the Cabinet in Europe, which takes good care to be in close touch with the born enemies of the English wherever they are to be found. This efficient secret service bureau presents outwardly a very simple ap? pearance. Its daily deliberations take place in a plainly furnished room at Hilversum, communicating with the President's private study. Everything, in fact, is arranged on the simplest scale around the President. He is a sworn foe to all pomp and pretension, and this characteristic is shown clear? ly in the furnishings of the apartments occupied by himself and his staff, as well as in the details of his daily life. HeMs, of course, treated with the ut? most reverence by all who come in contact with him, but there is no more outward show around him than is seen in he case of any ordinary Dutch paterfamilias in the neighbor? hood. The house he lives in with his suite is a plain, comfortable Dutch home and, apart from his own personal peculiarities, the daily course of life there is absolutely ordinary. When he is not engaged in transacting busi? ness directly with his cabinet he pass? es his time in his study or in the gar? den summer house, in company with his pipe and his Bible, smoking, read? ing meditating. He goes to bed in the Transvaal fashion, very soon after sundown. He rises two or three times at regular fixed intervals during the night and remains up smoking and reading for half an hour or an hour, walking about his bed room in a dressing gown. Although they have the greatest re? spect ( and sympathy for President Kruger, the people of Hilversum are not overwhelmed by the honor of his presence among them. They take off their ? ats as he passes, but they have conformed to his wishes in the mat? ter of refraining from any demonstra? tion since the first reception was ex? tended to him. In their sympathy for him they find themselves in harmony with all their fellow countrymen. A feeling toward the English people which is evident in Holland is remark? ably bitter. Unfortunately, as all Americans speak the English lan? guage, this bitterness extends among the ordinary classes to ourselves as well.

The State board of dispensary direc? tors has heretofore found difficulty in making the general public understand the exact status under the dispen? sary law of the ordinary "malt tonic" placed on the market by the drug? gists It may as well now be under? stood once for all the ordinary malt tonic manufactured by beer breweries is considered by the directors an intox? icant pure and simple. Its sale and transportation as such is positively forbidden, and the constables instruct? ed to seize it and treat it the same as all other contraband goods. A case in point came up before the State board at its present meeting. The wholesale drug house of Cruchfield & Tollerson, Spartanbnrg, filled an order for two barrels of the stuff for Union druggists. The constables of Spar? tanbnrg got wind of the shipment, and when the tonic reached Union they promptly seized it and it was confiscated according to law. Crutch field & Tollerson thereupon presented to the State board a claim for the value of the goods so confiscated, and this claim was maturely considered and rejected by the directors at their meeting this month. Druggists and others concerned would therefore do well to make a mental note of this and govern themselves accordingly. The State board has on several occa? sions had analyses made of this malt tonic and in every instance it has been found to contain more than the amount of alcohol allowed by law. Col. Cor.
