CRICKET.
Games That Have Been Slated for
TO.DaV


To-day Sunday the Alameda Cricket Club
will play against the CALIFORNIA; at Alameda.
This Is the first time these clubs have met
this year. and judging by the performance OF
the California Club in is matches with the
Pacific and Bohemian clubs this match will be a
gift for the Alameda Club.
One-sided cricket Of this Kind only draws a
small crowd. and very little interest is taken in
the matches played by The California Club, be-
cause the team is so weak it has no earthly
chance against the o her clubs. T. A. Anson
who is captain and secretary combined, and
from cricketing point of view forms the Cali
fornia Club himself, Ia the only player in the
club who can hold his own against the bowling
OF the other clubs, ana a. a matter Of fact IT'S
all nonsense for one man TO try 10 beat team,
the members OF which are just as good players
a. he is.
Ii is 10 be regretted that the California team
Is so weak thisyear, as the interest taken in
the matches played by that club is very little
on account OF Tie poor showing made by 1t
against the other clubs. The Alameda Club will
win this match without having to try very hard,
and 1t IS question II the California Club Will
ever get them out.
The Alameda Club is the oldest club on This
coast. and has some of the best players in Cali
foTnia among its members. The Pacific and
bohemian clubs VIII play al klinknervile,
Golden Gate, Berkeley, and great interest Is
being taken IN this match, as il is the first time
They have met this year. although the members
are not strangers TO each other. The Pacific
Club has some new players and has very good
team this year, which Will make things lively
Tor the other clubs. j. j. Theobald, The best
bat in the club made the fine score of "a runs
against the California Ciub-mOre runs than the
Bohemian Club made against the Alameda last
Sunday-anO II he repeats this performance 1t
will make things lively for the Bohemians
There Is, however, a slight difference be-
tween Captain Apson'S lObS and Messrs
Robertson and COokson's "curley warblers"
and he batsman who makes century against
the latters bowling must be good one. The
Bohemian Club is tile youngest In the aSsoca-
n mak
for the other clubs, which Will help to create
an interest in cricket and that is the only OBJ
Ject the BohemlanS nave Ia view.
The game to-day will start at II A. NJ. The
hlinknervllle grounds are reached by taking

Deafness Cannot be Cured,

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. Whenthis tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound Or i'm
perfect hearing, and when It is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's norr"rl condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surface.

Cross Road Pencillings.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your val
liable paper, to give you a few pen
cillings from the Cross Road section.
The weather is very beautiful, and
the farmers are busily engaged in
picking their crop Of five cent cotton.
Cotton picking and molasses making
is now the order of the day.
Some very heavy courting, going
on around here now, and the pros
pect is, that about Christmas or hog
killing time several pairs will tie that
knot which no law can sever in this
anti-diYorce State, and you may look
for fruitful crop of corn next year.
Sometime ago one of our little
boys went cabling" and had most
pleasant time, he said he had enjoyed
himself hugely, so he asked permis.
sion to call again, of course she gave
him permission. But in few days
he received a little note-smiles as
he opens his little note-reads the
note-stops smiling, gets disheart-
ened-tears up the note. She tells
him he cannot call anymore; he, then
concludes that there is some truth
in the saying "Fair but false" But
behold, in few more days, she sends
him word to call again, he is now
happy in the thought that "Omnia
vincitamor." Now Ruck, I hope you
may be successful, for love is great
instrument of human nature, and the
bond and cement of affection.
Watermelon stealing has now
about ceased, and we hope the
thieves will learn something bette .
until the next watermelon crop, and
,implant within their hearts some
deeds of Christianity, and make life
sacred and try to keep it so. A
godly young man in his promise, and
his performance, is the true first
fruits Of the world. A young man
beautiful always never looks so divine
as when he beams with the favor of
God. ELLIOTT.

4 Letter from Testus.
To the Editor of the Dispatch ::

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The farmers frown at the low price
of cotton, yet he must smile as he
contentedly sets about his hearth
stone and counts upon the very abun-
dant crops of corn, potatoes and
peas which will reward his laborers
in the coming harvest. There is hog
and hominy ahead and the juicy
'possum is growing fat.
The political sky fairly pictured,
presents crazy quilt appearance
made of reform promises, the des-
pairing cries of those long in Office,
populistic calamity howls and the re-
mote corners decked with the for
lorn hopes of Independents. This
political medley finds no exact
PARALLEL in American history and
from it at no very distant day must
evolve great changes. They are in
eyitable, and the signs of the times
point to them as certainly as they
did to the "Impending Crisis"
which hung cloudlike over our coun-
try just before the late war. Let US
trust that good will finally come to
cleanse the political arena. The
deep mouthed thunder purifes
the air, and furious storms cleanse
the ocean waves. Periods of great
political commotion are often followed
by an era of increased prosperity.
The primary in Orangeburg county
has resulted in the selection of good
candidates. Messrs. B. Sturkie,
Tatum, and Price are all good men.

Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself, in a strictly medicinal sense,
in three important particulars, viz:
first, in the combination of remedial
agents used; second, in the proper
tion in which they are mixed; third,
in the process by which the active
curative properties Of the prepara-
tion are secured. These three i'm
portant points make Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla peculiar in its medicinal merit,
as it accomplishes cures hitherto un-
known.
But it is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells
the story. What Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has done for others is reason for
confidence that it is the medicine for
you. 46.

To the Editoz of the Dispatch:
We had great deaf of rain last week,
which some of our farmers regretted to see
on account of having cotton in the field.
It will cause the sample to be bad and the
price to be reduced still lower.
It the sun continues to shine, as it is
today, cotton picking will not last much
longer.
beard one OF our most popular and in
dustrious young men say he had picked q
bale of cotton from Monday morning IN
til Saturday noon. He certainly deserves
praise. Young men, who can beat that?
am glad to say those that were sick at
the time of the last writing, have been re-
stored to their usual health.
Mrs. Bachman Huffman is now sick.
May she soon recover.
Mrs. Folk Younginer has returned from
her visit to Newberry, and has been quite
sick, but am glad to say she was able to
make her appearance at the picnic last
Friday.
1 am glad indeed to hear that little Mayo
Ogilvie has been restored to his usual
health.
Pienics are such things as most young
people are fond of, and so on the fifth there
was one given near the residence Of Mrs.
Sue Huffman. There was just crowd
enough to make,it pleasant, and a nice
shady place with plenty of nice lemonade,
and seats ade by some of our kind friends
who deserves many thanks. The dinner
was excellant and abundant. We had for
amusement sitting about, talking, laughing
and baseball playing. The old and young
seemed to enjoy it. I suppose Messrs.
Willie and Haskell Huffman deserves the
honor of making up this picnic.
There was picnic gi-en at Saluda last
Friday. 1t was made up by some of the
young people of Lexington Court House.
The oung people Of this community were
invited and some of them accepted the
invitation and reported quite a pleasant
time. Many thanks for your kind invita-
ton. I am sorry that could not attend.
The beef club OF this community was
out last Friday, but as we are fond of beef
they organized another club.
The preaching days at st. Andrews have
been changed from the first and second
Sundays to the second and fourth. There
will be preparatory services on Saturday
evening before the second Sunday in next

st. Andrews school, with Mr.. Joseph Huff
man, Sr., as Superintendent. The roll
contains the names of forty-fve scholars
and the average attendance is about twenty
five.
Mrs. Carrie Eeaphart and her neice
Miss Nora Maffett have returned from 8
visit to relatives in Edgeield county.
Messrs. ]. 4. Kibler and A. T. Wilson,
of Newberry, recently made brief visit to
Mr. W w. Spence's family.
Miss Ella Huffman is on visit to her
sister, Mrs. Boyd Bearden of Columbia. l

hope you viii soon return, If you don't
some of US might get low spirited.
