The plindpAl work In yesterday's j came was on the mound. Chandler i _ ! and Turner twirled like mad, ami. ? ach pitched Winning ball, but a num- | her of llukes sent the tide of victory! i lirst one way and then another, un- j til. after ten rounds of various kinds | uf ball, the game woud up in a hard , not, 2 to 2. Sumter drew first blood in the llfth inning. Flowers was safe on error of first; Spann landed on the initial bag by the same route; Flowers bunched it to the third corner, and when the catcher threw wild to nab him, the first run was counted?and that with? out a hit. In the eighth the visitors nearly put the game on ice. Flowers fumbled Carter's easy chance, and then threw wild to first. J. Kelly singled and by the time the locals had passed the ball around the diamond endeavoring to catch one and then the other of the runners, one was safely seated on second while the other reposed on third. Two sacrifice files in succes? sion by Girardeau and Weir were re? sponsible for the t\Mo runs, and Odom went out of a high fly to White in center. W'th hardly any hits being counted against either of the slab men, the one run lead looked like enough to win. Had not Chandler in? tercepted a throw into the plate when Kelly scored, the game would in all liklihood have been p !ocal victory. Jn th< ninth Innlngi th one down, White ha\ :ng gone out vn an infield chance, Drevenstedt delt the pill a terrible wallop. As the bail left his bat it took a slightly upward flight and went over the boards for three bags. Un Joe Chandler's sacrifice fly, Boyle running for Drew scored the tleing run. And the stands roared. Mabry fanned for the final out. In the tenth inning, there was nothing doing on either side, so it will remain to be determined by today's game as to which team is the bettor. Columbia has a strong bunch, and they will be hard to down. However, Manager White will introduce to the stand today a new pitcher, who is re putod to be able to turn the trick.

Mims who has a roller flour ndll at Trinity, which he has operated for several years, has re? fitted the plant and will begin grind? ing whoat next Wednesday. His plant is up-to-date in all particulars and turns out two grades of Hour besides bran, etc. The starting up of this mill will be welcome news to wheat growers, for they have experienced great difficulty in having their wheat converted Into Hour, since all the oth? er Hour mills in this and adjoining counties have been overrun with grinding. Another thing that will be welcome news to wheat growers is that Mr. Minis will charge only one eighth (1-8) toll. There is general complaint that some of the other mills are charging excess-ive toll. Mr. Mims says that he has been operating his mill for several years, and although the wheat crop heretofore has been limited, he found it profitable to run the mill on one-eighth toll.

Fielding und DTeveUStCdt'l Stiek Work Features. In u game abounding in excitement, and featured by errors and a fair sprinkling of real bonehead plays on the part of both teams, Sumter came out on top Friday by a score of 6 to 1. In most of the innings, jam-up bmJl was played, and occasionally there would be a complete reversal of form, and a state of panic seemed to j be in full swing, and, in those spells, When the ball was tossed around, the i sky was the limit Then, high-balls could be had even without the asking. Most of the time there was plenty of snap and pep in the game, and close- 1 ness of tho contest made it a most in? teresting struggle for the spectators. Weeks, the new pitcher, who will be seen again in Sumter during the next series, was invincible. He yield? ed but four hits in the nine innings that he performed, and but one run should have been counted against him, He had everything and fielded his position beautifully. Sumter started off auspiciously in the first inning, the lirst four men up driving out clean singles. White was caught napping, and but one run was counted. In t^e second inning, Spann wae passed to lirst, Boyle was safe on a Holder's choice; both runners were then advanced a peg on the error of Weir. Weeks and White went out in order, hut on Drev's second single, the two runners counted. With a three run lead, the Sumtor boys let up, and seemed to think that it was not nec? essary to work. They had a rude awakening a little later. AndrewB secured the first hit for the visitors In the fifth inning. He was pushed up to second when Turner went out, Drevenstedt to Boyle. Weeks tried to catch the runner oft second, but Haynsworth did not see the throw, and when White tried to naP the runner at third, his throw went through Drev's legs, and the first lluke run was made. It was in the seventh that things looked shaky. Odom led off with a single over third. Kelly. H . who wn* pitching for the vlfttpra, received one of .Weeks' swift ones Uj the head, aui: xvas put out of the game Andrew? single filled the packe, and whan idaoiy made a bau peg to cuich him off first, Odom counted, and when Boyle threw wild to Mabry to catch Weir, who was running for Kelly, at the plate, Weeks, who was backing up the catcher, made a great stab of the wild heave, and retired Weir for the second out. Just previous to that Boyle made a sensational catch of Turner's near-Texas leaguer for the first out. With two strikes on Haw? kins, Andrews pulled a great play In stealing home from third. He beat the throw a block and tied the score. Weir replaced Kelly on the mound for the visitors. In the eighth, a pass, a batter hit by pitched ball, one hit and four errors put the Gamecock, three runs in the lead. A hit, a stolon base and an error resulted in one and the final score for Columbia, and the game ended in a victory for Sumter by a margin of two runs. The score: R.

SATAN ET SCALES C1T1 HALE. From the Daily Item, August 13. Hundreds of persons in the street below watched enthralled, as Satanet slowly made his way up the side >of the city hall building until he had reached the topmost pinnacle of the steeple. Hundreds cheered lustily as he succeeded in making each difficult phase of the ascent and as he comw pleted and stood on the top of the tower and waved his hands to those below, shouting his oft-heard "Satan Satanet arrived in the city early in the morning and during the day he and his manager went over the town in their car, announcing the fact that he would make the ascent of the city hall building at 7 o'clock. Conse? quently there was a crowd which blocked traffic for the entire block when the time came for him to per? form his thrilling stunt. The Virginia Dare-Devil, as he is known, is adver? tising a soft drink known as Satanet. and incidentally he is being paid something to advertise this drink inr a rather unusual way. The ascent to the first story was made with apparent ease up the corner of the hall building, the ridges on the blocks furnishing foothold and grip for his initial climb. After reach? ing the second story he became more careful and his ascent was slower and thrilling also, as he would reach up to find a convenient ridge or crevice to grasp to hoist his body a little bit higher. The windows in the building Were maio Dec of :?nd gf rd?r? Satanet stopped to break a gins* *o as to get a foothold, but bis feat ring thrilling and perilous none thin lesgt? and there were many who stood he low and watched in amazement, or turned away at particular perilous' steps, fearful of a misstep. At fre? quent intervals Satanet called out the * name of his drink, and stopped to answer to the shouts from the crowd*/ below. Arrived on the tower, he slipped back down to the ridge pole and waited until the door to the tower could be unlocked, so that he descended the stairway, and not as he had gone up.
