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 State.
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,

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 proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol?
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

ney and bladder affections which
caused me much pain and worry. I
lost flesh and was all run down. I
had three of the best phvsicians who
did me no good and I was practically

was recommended and the first bot?

EASY FOR SUMTER
Georegetown Defeated in an Uninter?
esting Game-Taylor's Trip.
From the Daily Item Aug. 25.
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.

SUMTER WON IX THE EIGHTH.
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.

Sumter -L
--The State.
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.

The Sumter Fair Ground Associa- ?

any means. 1 he "officers elected have!
t eld a meeting and iaken steps towards '
appointing an executive committee, j
Some of tne members of the executive j
committee have consented to serve and ?
"t?:ers are out of the city and some of
the ccuntry meajbsrs are also absent i
on summer vacations. As soon as ali re
turn tue proper steps will be taken to
build the mee track, grand s-and and J
other buildings. A commission for a ?
charter r??s been received, books of j
subscription opened and the necessary
twenty per cent will be collected cf
the capital stock as soon as possible
and charter received. All of the offic?
ers recently elected from president
down have accepted the positions, and ?
President R. F. Haynsworth is as j
much interested in tne coming county i
fair as he was in the last fall, festival I
of which he was president-and that j
simply means success. A great many j
of the officers aud committeemen of j
the recent fall festival and live stock
show have consented to servw for the
county fair association and are very j
enthusisatic about our coming fall
fair. The merchants seem a.-> entbusi- :
astic as any one else and altogether '
the outlook tor a fall " blow |
out is very encocraging. lt is very j
important, however, that subscribers ;
pay up their assessments promptly ?
as funds are needed to secure the j
charter, and to commence building j
the race track and buildings. Some
more subscribers are needed, but bus- j
iness men have promised to take i
enough stock to finish out. If
every merchant will take as much
stock in the fair grounds associa?
tion as they subscribed to the fall fest?
ival, all will be well, with the excep?
tion that >iie fair association will be
a permanent affair, with its home
owned and paid for.

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

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

some of the gratr after ali. But this
is another story.
