Hock HILL? TEAM DEFEATED.
Sumter Boys With Picked up Nine
Wins Cjiumc from Visitors.
The Sumter baseball team yester?
day afternoon in a pretty exhibition of
baseball defeated tho visiting team
from Rook Hill by the score of 4 to 6,
the score being largely the result of 1
the good pitching of Haynswoith and
the good support given him by His|
teum mates.
For Rock Hill, Covington, who went
in in the fourth inning pitched well
and held the Sumter boys down to
one run. Wright, who started the
game proved easy for his opponents
and they secured numerous hits and
five runs from him.
The game was witnessed by the
usually small crowd, who did not
show much enthusiasm as usuul. The
second game of ball will be played
this afternoon at 4.30 and a big crowd
is wanted to cheer the Sumter boys.
A most unusual feature was the
fact that Fowler had three put-outs'
to his credit in the first inning, three
long flics to center. In the second he
added one more and two more later
during the game. Chandler in left
filed caught three flies. Showing the
excellent pitching of Haynsworth and
the support given him by the team is
the fact that not until the 6th inning
did a Hock Hill player get to first base
while all of the Sumter scores were
made in the first for.r.
Wright gave two bases on balls,
hit one batter, struck out four
men and allowed six hits in three in?
nings. Covington allowed only two|
hits, struck out ten men and hit three
men in the 5 innings. Haynsworth al
lowed only six hits during the game,
and struck out three men. Tho, visi?
tors were credited with one error,
while the Sumter boys made three
errors.
The Sumter players are due a great
deal of credit for the game, ns it was
an unexpected one and several new
men wore put in who had not prac?
tised any, but who were put in be?
cause} of the absence of the regular
players. Jones, who caught the game
for the locals, is a Trinity College lad
who is selling maps through this ter?
ritory during tho summer, and who
happened to be here at this time.
Thackan, an old State leaguer, will
pitch for the visitors this afternoon,
while Parker will act for the locals.
The players yesterday were:
Hock Hill: Brittain, lb; Edens, 2b;?|
Stough, If; Wright, Covington, p;
Brown, c; Thackan, rf; Thurler, 3b;
Pickctt, ss; Boozer, cf.

Health Ofllecr Forbes, backed up
by City Munager Robertson, Is waging
a telling campaign against the mos?
quitoes, along the lines mapped out by
Dr. Carter of the United States Health
Service, who made a survey of the
city a few weeks ago. It is possible,
without the expenditure of any great
sum of money, to extermlnnate the
mosquitoes in Sumter and in the ter?
ritory immediately adjacent, and
make the place a malaria free town.
If the people would only cooperate
with the health department and
clean up their premises, eliminating
all breeding places of mosquitoes, it
would be possible for the health offi?
cer and his assistants to destroy the
mosquitoes in the ditches, drains and
other breeding places. Ofllcer Forbes]
has already accomplished a great deal
and the diminution of mosquitoes in
heretofore infested sections is notice?
able. It is a never ending fight, how?
ever, and if Sumter is to be a mos
qultoless and fevcrless town, the
health department must stay on the
job from early spring until winter.
HAPPY WOMEN.

BIG FAMILY REUNION.
Rain Needed in Manchester?"Hard
'l ? iocs'* Discusses Custom of Candi?
dates.
Dark Corner, July 15.?We are)
needing rain at this time. Corn is
burning very badly for the last few
days. Cotton is still doing fairly well
We have not had a rain in this corner
since we planted our crops, only oc?
casional showers have fallen. Farm ?
ers are nearly done laying by their
crops, except on stubble land, where
corn or < otton was planted.
The health of the neighborhood is
pretty good. Mrs. Joe E. Johnston is
the only one I know of being sick.
She has neuralgia.
I attended a family reunion dinner
at Mr. W. R. Lackey's on the 4th. All
ol his children were present and most
of his grandchildren. Some of those
who were present at the dinner were
his daughters, Mrs. J. Byers Brown of
Sumter, her two grown daughters, Mrs
Johnson and Mrs. Hatlleld, and three
small children, Mrs. J. Dargan Osteen
and husband, Mrs. Thos. J. Geddings,
husband and children of Privateer;
Mrs. Eunice Geddings and children
with the following named grandsons
in-law, with their families and grand?
sons and families: Robert Christmas,
Xeal Geddings, John E. Geddings,
Early Geddings, Ramsey Kolb and
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Ardis. About 50
in all were present, including 20
grandchildren and eight great-grand
children. Mr. Lackey is a Confeder?
ate soldier about 75 years old. He
has a little girl who will not be two
years old until the 11th of October
next. He says he never gets tired and
can do as much work as a man of
30. He now walks 5 or 6 miles every
day and hoes all day and walks
back home at night. Who can beat
him.
The lid is still on the political pot
in this corner. So many candidates
we arc puzzled to know who to vote
for, but we shall vote right, I hope, as
we please.
I see from the papers that they
(the candidates) are giving each other
"down the country." And yet I sup?
pose they are all members of some
church. How do they get over those
passages in the good book "Thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy
neighbor" and "Thou shalt not go up
and down as a tale bearer among the
people." I suppose they believe the
old saying that all fs fair in love and
war; but whut will they say when
all hands are called before the righ?
teous judge. Can they then say Smith,
Blease, Pollock, Jennings, Manning,
Richards, those other Smiths, or the
other fellow, did and not me and
pass the master. No, then each shall
answer for himself and not another.
l<et us all Jtop and consider should a
man claim or want to hold an office
by pulling down someone else to get
it. Please let us remember Christ's
words: "Therefore what so ever you
would that men should do unto you,
do ye even so to them," and follow
that rule and we will never be far
wrong, says "Old Hard Times."
WOMAN DIES SUDDENLY.
Miranda Flud Drops Dead at Daugh?
ter's Home.
From The Daily Item, July 17,
Coroner Owens was called to a
house on Manning Avenue last night
by the sudden death there of a negro
woman, Miranda Flud. The woman,
It seems, dropped dead, while visiting
at her daughter's home about nine
o'clock. After an examination by Dr.
Epps It was decided that an inquest
was not necessary, as the woman had
been suffering from heart disease for
some time and frequently had bad
spells.
Mr. Herbert at Manning.
Rev. Messrs. Walter I. Herbert and
W. W. Daniels, 1). D., were visitors In
Manning last Sunday Dr Daniel,

and evening, and al Trinity in the af?
ternoon Mr. Herbert, conference

$3,000,000 far the Methodist Col?
leges of South Carolina. It was his in?
tention to begin a canvass for sub?
scriptions to that fund, but he was ??>
unwell on Sunday that it was deemed
wiser for him to consult his physician
In Sumter, on Monday. That gentle
man advised Mr. Herbert that ho
was threatened with an attack of ma?
laria and sent him to the mountains.
Hem s It will be several weeks before
ho can make the canvass. His work Is

THE INSTITUTE AT POCALLA.
Large Number of Boys and Girls
Present to Witness Demonstration.
There were no speeches or lectures
yesterday at Pocalla, where two hun?
dred or more members of the Girls'
Canning Club and the Boys' Corn Club
had gathered for an institute for their
benefit. ' The two chief workers, Dr.
W. W. Long, of Clemson, head of the
demonstration work in the State and
Mrs. Mary E. Cresswell, assistant to
Dr. O. B. Martin in the tomato and
canning club work throughout the
United States, both failed tc come and
the large number present were dis?
appointed at not hearing them.
As the weather was extremely
threatening, Miss Lemmon decided
that the demonstration could be held
and gotten through with and the
speaking could come afterward. This
method was decided on and Miss
Katharine Richardson, tomato club
organizer for Clarendon gave an ex?
hibition of the use of a tireless cook?
er. She prepared rice and chicken in
this for the dinner which came after?
wards, an exhibition which created
much interest.
i After the picnic dinner several can?
ning demonstrations were given, Mrs.
Walker, Miss Lucile Lemmon, organ-1
izer for Dillon county, Miss Dorothy
Napier, organizer for Hichland coun?
ty, Miss Richardson, organizer for
Clarendon county, and others took
part in these demonstrations. The
girls were shown how to can various
fruits and vegetables by the test and
easiest methods.
The occasion was much enjoyed by
all of those present, and was of inter?
est! to the members of the two clubs.
BOYS AND GIRLS ENTERTAINED.

Focal la News Notes.
Pocallo, July 17.?On last Sunday
night a party of joyriders came within
a hair's breadth of having a serious
accident. The car behaved very badly
when it came to the first bridge out
on the Pocalla road tearing down the
handrailing and turning upside down
in the swamp. Seven of the occupants
were pinned under the car. The oth?
er three raised the car and allow***
them to emerge. All were colored.
The driver was Charlie Davis.
The Tomato Club and Boys' Corn
club picnic Friday at Pocalla was
considered a grand success, still It
would not be otherwise when und?r
the supervision of that never-Wicg
young lady, Miss Demmon, assisted h
her Bister, who has charge of the 1 di
lon Canning Club.
Mr. Winburn, who Is so capable in
doing his part well, was there and
made several pictures from different
positions. These pictures will be en?
larged by the government for the
benefit of the work of these two clubs.
We received a light shower Thurs?
day afternoon, which was very ac?
ceptable as we are getting somewhat
thirsty. A great many farmers in
this section are still worried with
some grass The cotton and corn
crops are looking very promising.
County Supervisor Pitts is doing
some work on the Pocalla road which
is badly needed at this time. We
hope that he will run this road
through Pocataligo Swamp and build
a good bridge, which is badly needed.
Weston Witherspoon, one of our
colored neighbor farmers, brought in
three open bolls of cotton today. I
expect this is the first for the season,
certainly the first we have seen or
heard of.
There was a big dance at Pocalla
Friday night for folks from the city.
The chaperons were Mrs. Archie China
and Mrs. B. K. DcLorme. Everybody
had a big time. About 10 o'clock
supper was served, after which danc?
ing was resumed and continued until
late in the evening.
