PICNIC AT STATE FARM.
The Marlboro Colony in Sumter Coun?
ty Delightfully Entertained.
Thursday the Marlboro colony in
Sumter County met at the State Farm
and enjoyed with their invited guest
a delightful picnic. There were more
than eighty people present. Superin?
tendent Morris and Mr. J. L. Irby
acted as master of ceremony, and con?
ducted the visitors over the well-kept
farm, and took particular pains to
show them everything of interest.
The picnic was held in a shady
grove beside a beautiful stream, from
whose waters an enormous quantity
of fresh fish had been caught for the
occasion. The eloquent spread was
greatly enjoyed.
Hon. J. P. Gibson, of Marlboro,
was the speaker of the occasion, and
he delivered a splendid oration. Dr.
Breeden, of Sumter, presided as
toastmaster, and introduced the fol?
lowing speakers: Messrs. Geo. W.
Dick. John H. Clifton, Walter G.
Stubbs, H. L. B. Wells, H. A. Moses,
J. M. Woodley, E. E. Rembert, L. R.
Williamson, W. A. Seale, Thomas
Evans, T. O. Sanders, J. L. Irby and
H. T. Edens.
The day was very mach enjoyed,
every one voting it a delightful occa?
sion, and expressing a desire to return
next year.
The Camden baseball fans have
a great deal to say about unfair
umpiring and game stealing by other
teams- in other rowns. While it is
impossible to say what has been done
in other places than Sumter in the
line of game stealing, the writer
knows that the effort has been made
here^ to give every team a fair deal and
to secure the services of disinterested
and absolutely impartial umpires.
There are three games to be played
here next week with Camden and
three the following week in Camden
by the Sumter team, and it will be
perfectly satisfactory to Sumter peo?
ple if Camden can arrange to have
Mr. M. L. Smith umpire all six
games. Snifter people have never
wanted anything but a fair deal and
this Mr. Smith gave them in the
games he umpired. He was not put
out of the umpire's position in Cam?
den on Sumter's protest-in fact it
was over Sumter's protest that anoth?
er umpire was substituted. If Mendal
Smith will umpire all the games be?
tween Camden and Sumter, the,Sumter
baseball crowd will 'take whatever
medicine the Camden team is able to
administer and will not go about cry?
ing over it either. If that is not a
fair proposition what does Camden
want?
A TRIBUTE.
The grim reaper has again visited
the decimated ranks of old Company
"D," Second South Carolina Volun?
teers. That gallant veteran soldier of
the sixties, Lawrence M. Rembert has
taken his departure to that unknown
country. His furlough on earth had
expired. He has gone tp re-join that
incomparable army of gray beyond the
river.
It was my good fortune to have been
with thl3 brave soldier in the four
years' bloody struggle. I can'say with
all candor, .that a better soldier never
rammed a cartridge down a rifle or
pulled a trigger, than comrade Law?
rence M. Rembert. Unscathed by,
shot and shell, he passed o'er many
a gory fieid. He fought and cheered,
following the tattered flag that bore
the starry cross, which he loved so
well. That flag is folded now, and the
good soldier sleeps his last sleep, with
his arms folded across his brave, but
silent heart. He has left to his chil?
dren a priceless legacy, far more to be
valued than gold. May loving hands
plant roses over his new made grave,
when in spring and summer time their
fragrant petals may silently drop
upon the honored mound of this val?
iant v?t?ran soldier.
