Thursday afternoon, the greater part
of the game being played in a wind?

The game was devoid of features un?

secured a hit, stole second and made
third'on a wild throw by La n ham and
stole in home. This run tied the
score. At this time the visiting team

the game was called.
The visitors made their runs in the
first inning, when an error, a hit, an?
other error and a two base hit scored
two runs and Lanham stole home.
The Sumter team scored twice in tho
second Inning and failed to score again

ings oflhe road should it go by Sar?
dinia. The matter will be taken up
at the next meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, probably on Monday,
when it will be threshed out and de?

change is made.
The right:; ot way for the proposed

tween 'danta and Black Itlver, the ti
fes being given by property owners.
The members of the railroad commit*
tee seem reasonably certain thai the

datO, but It has not yet been announc?
ed who will be the builder, although
it will probablj be some railroad al?
ready operating in the State.
