?SgEiEBBR DEFEATS GEORGETOWN 4L Two to One Game in Georgretown. Teams Go to Sumter. Georgetown, Aug. 23.-It was pro? fessional ball that Sumter and Georgetown played this afternoon but fortune favored the visitors and Sum? ter won by the score of 2 to 1. This is the last game of the series Ja Georgetown and it is the program ?or Georgetown to go to Sumter to? morrow for a series of three games. The teams seem equally matched, though Georgetown probably lacks some of Sumter's organization, which v?l be gained by a little more practice in team work. Georgetown has a case of baseball fever at present (very lit? tle of any other kind) and business is practically suspended every after soon when there is a game on foot. 3t has been ten years since so much interest has been manifested in the national game. Manager Shuford is to be congratulated on his successful efforts in securing such fine attend? ance as has been here and the en? thusiasts are yearning for more be "fotre the end of the season. The following is the official score hy innings, R. H. E.

In another game, by the narrow 2&argin of one score, Sumter won, ?arni by so doing took the series from the fast set of ball players who wear the Georgtown uniform. To Sumter's perfect fielding on a diamond rough enough to make the worst kind of of - aa error almost excusable, is due the ?victory. With eight safe hits gath? ered from Stafford's delivery in eight innings, only one run was made, and, if reports are accurate, that one should not have been allowed. The work of both Dwyer and James is said to have been of major league order, and Phelps played Can ley's position at third to the entire - -satisfaction of the management, $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least ?ne dreaded disease that science has hean able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional ' treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken inter? nally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, -thereby destroying the foundation: of the disease, and giving the patient strength by buildng up the constitu? tion and assisting nature in doing tts 'work.

The absence of Weill and Gilland from Georgetown's line-up, they hav? ing missed the train when he team left, is largely responsible for the one-sided contest that was pulled off at the ball park yesterday. The visit? or's team work was very ragged, while the locals played well behind Dwyer, and allowed very few men to reach first. Taylor, the clever little pitcher, who did such good work for Kingttree when they played here, was badly off. Dwyer was in beautiful form, yield? ing only two safeties during the game, and the entire team supported him to the man. The entire Sumter team played together so w-ell that it is dif? ficult to pick out any particular player for special praise. For the visitors, Dickson in right field, played the best game. He made two very sensational catches of dif? ficult chances, for which he was abundantly applauded, and he ran bases in professional style. Line-up: Georgeown- Sumter Foxworth .c.

Georgetown, Aug. 23.-The game between Sumter and Georgetown this afternoon was another fine exhibi? tion of ball playing and the visitors vron by the score of 3 to 2. Both teams did splendid work, but the home team deserved victory for good steady playing and only lost by Me Laurin's arm being injured in the seventh inning, causing him to issue passes to three men in the eighth. The feature of the game was Dess Giliand's spectacular catch of a fly to centre field. Gilland will pitch for Georgetown tomorrow. The score by innings was as fol? lows: GeGorgetown .010 000 020-2 Sumter .000 000 CS'-3 Batteries: Georgetown:. McLaurin and Weill; Sumter, Durant and I James. Struck out, by McLaurin 4. Durant 3.

It was a shame to delude the Georgetown boys with the fond hope of winning the game up to the eighth inning, and then so rudely run three scores across the plate and blast their fond desires. From the above meagre dispatch taken from The State, we conclude that the game must have been fas: j and snappy, Georgetown, however, showing up to advantage in the of? ficial score* but the locals had th's hick with them in the first game, and it was only fair that old Dame Fortune ^should be entirely impartial in her attention, and in "fact she kept within the bounds of good etiquette, when her gracious smile rested upoa the fair visitors.- Can't you picture her flirting with little Stafford in to? day's game? It was cnaracteristic of McLaurin to'sail up in the eiherial mists r.fter he had everything his own way. He is the most erratic pitcher that ever donned the toe plate, and either knocked all over the lot. Yesterday he was not satisfied with keeping down the hits to a measley total of 2; he walked three men, then some one must have punched the ball good and hard, and the game was won. All of the fans are pleased thu: j Ray came out on top; he is a very popular player, and the team sup- j ports him to the mari. Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. .A. J. Nusbaum, Batesviile, Ind., writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symp? toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre? scription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggravate my case. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar<<and it quick? ly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." Durant's Pharmacy. A FIXE HORSE RILLED. Heavy Rain Washed Ont a Xew Ex cavation, and Causes Serious Ac? cident-Others Narrowly Avoided. From the Daily Item Aug. 24. Prior to the heavy rain that fell yesterday afternoon. Mr. T. C. Cut tino tapped the water main and laid a pipe to the lot on Church street upon which Mr. J. H. Levy is now building a dwelling. The excavation was well covered, but evidently not properrly packed, for the rain storm that occurred later in the day washed out large quantities of the recently loosened soil, and left in the ground a large gully, which was rendered particularly dangerous by being con? cealed by a large pond of water that had accumulated over lt. However, at least three teams passed over the place without accident before the rain. Mr. A. D. Harby, riding in his bug? gy, was the first to pass over the hole; his horse's front feet luckily escaped going into it, and when the hind feet of the horse seemingly gave way, Mr. Harby thought that his animal had only slipped on the mud, and thought no more of it. In a very few minutes Mr. Ray Ryt tenberg came up the street in a buggy with Mr. L A. Ryttenberg's infant child and the nurse. When the horse went into the excavation, the buggy lunged forward with great force, pre? cipitating the servant over the wheels and throwing Ray to the foot of the vehicle, who was fortunate enough to grab the child by its clothing as it was about to fall over the dashboard. Messrs. P. G. Bow-man and C. W. Stansill, who happened to be in the vicinity of the accident ran to assist anyone that might possibly have been injured. In the confusion that natur? ally followed, Messrs. Leland and Laurel Myers, of Providence, driving a splendid animal got to and into the hole before either of the gentlemen were aware of their presence. The horse fell heavily to the ground, his body falling heavily on his neck and breaking it instantly. The poor beast was dead before the harness could be taken off him. CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

There not being enough members of j council present Wednesday afternoon sufficient to constitute a quorum for j the transaction of business, the meet- j ing was adjourned, ana a special j meeting was called today at 1 o'clock, j Under the construction of the lease j of the Opera House now held by Mr. j Abe Ryttenberg, council agreed to al- j low him to remain in possession for ( another year.

Decrease of Equitable Business in South Carolina. Columbia, Aug. 21.- Tb fl revelations of graft in the management of the Equitable Life Assurance society is making a decided impression on the South Carolina premium receipts of the company. The company report to tae comptroller general for the second quarter ending the 30th of June, which has just come ?D, shows receipts of only 882,863 19, as against 387,168.13 for the same period last year, and while this represents a falling off of less than 85,000 it is highly significant for the reason that the company in a normal condition had substantial grounds for expecting an increase of $15,000 or more. The receipts have been increasing at this rate the past several years, as have the receipts of all first class companies doing business in South Carolina. The first quarter's receipts did not reflect the conditions just then being exposed in the home office ; they were heavier than for the same time in 1904 by nearly 810,000 8105,977 84 as against 896.^55 15. Now the receipts for the second quarter of this year instead of showing an in? crease of $15,000 over the ?;ane quarter last year, as was the showing this t'me last year, as between the second quar? ters of 1904 and 1903, are over 825,000 below what was naturally to be expect? ed of them in a healthy condition of the society. In ctner words the re? ceipts are about 25 per cent, off with prospects of the third quarter which ends next month revealing a still more marked decline. These figures are not given for the purpose of spreading that new and for a time very prevalent ailment known as "policy ague," for as a master of fact there is no reason fo r any Equit? able policyholder to get panic stricken now if he survived the shock of a few weeks ago as the cut-look ii altogether promising. But the figures furnish a" interesting study as shoeing the effect on the insuring public of whole? sale stealing on the part of those high in authority,and are therefore a legit? imate subject for discussion. The Scurh Caroiina policyholders who pay nearly half a million dollars into the treasury of the society annually prob? ably have some slight anc also pardon? able and possibly commendable interest in the matter. The following table of premium re? ceipts for the four quar^rs of 1903 and 1904 and the two quarters of this year, reveal some instructive comparisons between the several period:; referred to : 1903 ? 904 1905 1st quarter S $5.31563 > 95.155 r> 77 a 2d quarter 72,34722 S*7.16$13 lil 3d <iuart*rr 5S.S5S 56 766 Hu quarter % S69 os 10*335 02 Totals S312.3S949 3562,$30':5ri And yet infinitely worse ? f> icsnr ance than that cf the Equitable ever was, is or likely ever will bf. bas been sold in this and every or her State, is bein? sold and is likely to continue to be sold, and largely on the endorse? ment of prominent local busr ess men, who are given a consideration in taeir own premium payments, indirectly ur course.
