"People do \<.t UiMlcrstanrt the Bible Teaching" Evangelist Fife Says. From The Dally Item, June 7. j Before a large audience last night it the Christian church. Evangelist Roger H. Fife, of Kansas City, Mo., who is conducting revival services ther* asked the audience how many of them believed in "Sanctlflcatlon ?" Not one present would say that he did. Then the Evangelist quoted Hebrews 11:14: "Follow after peace with all trtVn. and the sanctlflcatlon, without which, no man shall see the Lord." Then he asked, "What are you going to do about that? That Scripture plainly says that unless you are sanc? tified you will never see the Lord in peace, or be saved. Now, how do you expect to get into heaven?" The aud? ience h.oked confused, not expecting nuch a scripture quotation. Then the evangelist said, "I am going to preach on "Sanctlflcatlon" on Tuesday night, and I want you to hear what the Bible says on the subject. This is one of the subjects in the scheme of redemp? tion, like baptism and the Holy Spir? it, that the people as a rule know very NtttO about, and these subjects are very generally abused, and the people are not sufficiently Informed an them." He will preach tonight on 'Raising the Dead." Tomorrow night on "Sanc tiflcatiou," and Wednesday night on the "The Holy Spirit." People are especially invited to hear the sermons this week. Lnat night Evangelist Fife told his experience in becoming a Christian, and why he forsook the churches oi his parents and kindred to unite with the Christian church, a body so little known by him and his people at the nrat. At the close of the sermon the ordi? nance of baptism was administered to two more candidates. The meetings will continue over next Sunday. Marrlsae IJccnse Hoeord.

Gamecocks Down Grcvlcyvillc in Good flame bf Hoove of 8 to 2?Dig Hunch of Fans Out?Frank Chan? dler Fanned Fourteen uud Deterred a Shutout?Those in the Lime Light. From the Daily Item, June 5. The Sumter fans have at last wak? ed up to the fact that there is a ball team in town, and yesterday, for the lisrst time during- the present season, there was anything like an adequate amount taken in at the gate. All those who came more than got their mon? ey's worth. The game was played in league style, and it took only one I hour and a half for the nine innings j to play. With such a team as Sum? ter now has, playing consistently good ball in every game, it i. safe to pre diet that from now on the attendance will justify the management in getting j more and better teams to play on the local diamond. The pitching of Frank Chandler stands out as the real brilliant feature of the game. He fanned fourteen of the visitors, getting two in each of four innings and three in one inning, and he deserved a shutout. In the eighth inning with two down and sec? ond and third occupied, Hogan, P., drovo a hot one to center field; White made a desperate effort for tlie put out, and after a hard run got the ball in his hands only to drop it. The runners counted. It was a hard chance, and White deserves credit for his hard try. The opening inning was the most important of the game, and really determined the result. For the visi? tors, Martin struck out, Hogan, P., was ' safe at first on Booth's error, and la- j ter stole second; Williams was safe on a fielder's choice, while Hogan died at third. Lanham, the visitor's clean? up man, was out on strikes. White, first up for Sumter, fan? ned. Booth took four bad ones and went to first. Drevenstedt singled, ad? vancing Booth to*second; Chandler forced Drevenstedt at second, but by fast running was safe at first. Flow? ers walked into a swift one, and the punch sent the pill over the left field fence, scoring the two runners ahead of him. Ground rules held the batter on third. Burns' stinging single brought him home for the third and last run in the inning. Boyle retired the side with a drive to left field. There were no more earned runs la tfc.e game. How Qreeleyvillo scored * jJaOftdy been told. A baaa on balls io P| ank (.'handler, a hit by Flowers and a series of enors nett* I three more runs to the locals in the sixth inning. The seventh was the In? ning in which the last runs were put over the plate. Booth and Dreven? stedt singled, and when Chandler's fly to center was dropped, the score was made two more. Martin on second for Greeleyvllle played great ball. He was in the game all the time, fielded his position fault? lessly, and with Lanham in the third inning, pulled off a fast double play. Burns, who did the receiving for the Game Cocks, did splendid work. His pegging was a particular feature, and only one runner stole second on him, while a number of them were out on attempted steals. His pegging was perfect. The locals have developed, under the instructions of White, fine team work, and they are now in shape to cope with the best amateur teams in the State, and with the proper encourage? ment in the way of patronuge, they will make things lively in Sumter all summer.

Subscriptions to Defray Expenses Re? quested b> Secretary of chamber of < 'ommcrce. The managing secretary of the Chamber of Commerce reports that he has collected the following so far towards defraying the expenses of two young women from the rural dis? tricts at Winthrop college, beginning June 15th, in the short course in? struction in domestic science, canning, etc: Neill O'Donnell.$15.00 Thomas Wilson. 1.00 G. A. Lemmon. ... 1.00 E. W. Dahhs. 1.00 I. C. Strauss. 1.00 J. K. Crosswell. 1.00 S. H. Edmunds. 1.00 R. B. Belser. 1.00 O'Donnell & Company. 1.00 Miss Mary Lemmon, home demon? stration agent for Sumter county, is very anxious to take advantage of Winthrop colleges offer of two schol? arships for young women from each county in this State, and the managing secretary of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce guaranteed the expenses of the young women so that the demon? strator could make arrangements for their trip as there is not much time to spare before the opening of the sum? mer school. A number of letters were sent to merchants, bankers, farmers, and professional men asking them to con? tribute one dollar each. Mr. Neill O'Donnell who contributed $15 to pay the expenses incidental to one scholarship writes that he sin? cerely trusts the secretary will suc? ceed in raising enough money for several sholarships as he does not know of any way in which money can be spent to greater advantage, for city and county, than in assisting the boys and girls of the farming districts to receive an education, including the industrial and domestic science kind. Each of the other public spirited contributors who sent their checks said that they did so with much pleas? ure and interest, each of them agree? ing with the sentiment expressed by Mr. O'Donnell. Secretary Reardon says if he had only known how much pleasure it af? forded these gentlemen to contribute this money, he would have asked them for not lees than $25.00 *a< B, as it l?OKi like each one got Sl^ii. ? worth ( DP asure for SjfoTf dollar con- i trlbutee. towards sending two ru*al| district young women off to learn how to cook, keep house, sew, can and preserve vegetables and fruits, and otherwise make better future house? wives. All of the contributors are great friends of the boys and girls of the city and country districts. The two young women who will re? ceive these short courses will be of great value to the women and girls of their county, as auxiliary home dem? onstration agents, cooperating with Miss Ivemmon. The books of subscription are still open at the Chamber of Commerce, and Miss Lemmon has decided to ac? cept Mr. O'Donnell's suggestion, and also to accept any additional money towards carrying out his suggestion ubout sending more than two young women this year to take the short course scholarships. She wants to send two young women | to another college. Acknowledgement of amounts by contributors will be made in this paper from time to time. Checks by mail will lie accepted or the secretary will call on phone notice for subscrip? tion, or subscription can be sent to Miss Lemmon. Mrs. S. R. Spenoer Dead. Prom The Daily Item, June 7.

Gamecocks Scheduled to Play Throe (iumos With the Columbia Mechan? ics on Wednesday, Thursday and Frl,,B>- _ imtiM i After having cQpped every game played on the local grounds this sea? son, the reorganized Sumter team will play a series of three gi-nes with the Columbia Mechanics, commencing on Wednesday. All the local fans know just what kind of a team Mechan? ics always have, and this year Mc Pherson the veteran backstop and captain of the Columbia bunch thinks that he has the very best aggregation of ball players that he has ever been able to get together. The Sumter boys are playing In great shape, and have devoted a lot of time to practice, and White has rounded out the team into most ex? cellent shape. The hitting of the Gamecocks has improved over one hundred per cent, and their fielding proportionately, while the team work has been developed to a noticeable de? gree. It will take some good team to down them. It certainly looks good for three fine games. The visitors are guaran? teed a round sum and expenses for the series, and it is up to the fans who want ball here during the entire sum? mer to see to it that the games are properly patronized. It is a big help to have a bunch of rooters behind any team, and all that the Gamecocks heed to win is a little encouragement, and since the fans have seen what kind of ball they can deliver, the stands and sidelines should be full of encouragement of the kind that will mean a series for the following week.
