KlNGSTREE VS. SALEM.
Both Teams Showed Lack of Practice,
but the Home Team Wins.

The first game of baseball seen
here this season took place Friday
afternoon when kingstree and Salem
crossed bats at the "park." Our boys
were late in organizing this season,
and had not prscticed at all before
this game. The Salem boys put up
a fairly good game, and at times the
result seemed doubtful. Some good
batting was done on both sides, and
the ball was kept in lively motion.
At the beginning of the eighth inning
a decision of the umpire was contested
by the Salem club, which, when
the umpire stood firm, marched of
the diamond. The score at this time,
stood II to IA in favor of kingstree.
When the Salem boys refused to play
longer. the umpire ordered the ball
to be pitched over the home plat
three times and the game was declar-
ed to be won by Kingstr e by a score
of 9 too.

The Prohibition Muddle.

It Is very much to be regretted that
the executive committee has 50 Grip
pled the cause Of Prohibition at the
very outset BY publishing the state
ment that they had abandoned the
fight for State officers" Their action
was extremely unwise if not untrue,
but it was not strictly true. They
have not abandoned the fight for state
officers, but only withdrawn the nom
inees of the convention that they
might send them tefOre the people
n individual candidates on the Pro-
hibition platform. This action not
only greatly injuries, if it does not
kill the cause. but does injustice and
wrong to the nominees OF the conven-
tion.
1t should be said. therefore,
In justice both to Mr.. BrunSon
and to the Prohibition cause, that he
has not withdrawn from the race. all
statements 10 the contrary notw ith-
standing, but the committee having
withdrawn the nominees Of the con-
yeRtion, and since he canno: enter
the race as An individual candidate
without being guilty Of what seems to
him foolishnesS and dOubledealing.
there is nothing for him to do but TO
remain out of the campaign. unless
those who put him forward wish him
to continue. Having accepted the
nomination, paid his assessments, and
nled his pledge. there was no way for
hfm to leave the race except by with
drawing his pledge and resigning. He
has never resigned. nor has he express
ed any intention Of doing 30. Mr..
Teatherstone has not taken his place
rs the candidate Of the Prohibition
convention. but Is an individual can
didate on theProhibition platform by
his own nomination. Mr.. Brunson,
therefore, and not Mr.. FeatherStone,
is the regular nominee and pledged
candidate Of the Prohibition conven-
tfoa, and Mr.. Featherstone, as a men,
Der Of that convention, was pledged
TO support Brunson. 1t must be said,
however. In fairness 70 Mr.. Feather
stone. that, never having accepted his
nomination, he had perfect right TO
enter the race, only as an individual
candidate and not as the candidate Of
the Prohibitionists. He must not say
that since Mr.. BrunSOn has refused
to run he has taken his place to up
hold the banner which MIR. Brunson
laid down.
The cause IL not yet lost II every

BLOOMlNGVAlE BRIEFS.

1t has been about a year since
any dots have been sent from this
place, so / thought Il few might be
interesting.
This section has been visited by
heavy rains, accompanied with
wind and some hail. which dam
aged crops somewhat, especially
corn. The rain, however, was very
welcome, as crops We're suffering
from the drought.
This seasons oat cropis unusually
fine; in fact, the best we have had
for years. One of our farmers gath
cred Is two-horse wagon loads from
Il little less than two acres.
The darkies, by the timely aid of
the berry and plum crops, which
are abundant, have been able to
supplement their liens.
Several mad dogs have recently
been killed in this neighborhood,
after biting some valuable dogs and
hogs.
Young game birds are abundant
around here, and sportsmen are
anticipating lively time with dog
and gun in the fall.
The fruit crop here is very good
despite the long spell of dry wealth
er.
Fish traps and nets have wrought
havoc with the fl IN this year, whole
sale destruction being accomplished
while the river was low.
The health of our community Is
very good, there being less fever
than has been the case for several
years past.
We have preaching twice week

a Plea From q Preacher.

Mr. Joel z. Brunson,

Lucknow, S. c., June "a, 1898.
Mr. Joel z. Brunson,
Kingstree, S. c.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Tread with surprise the action of the
State Prohibition Executive Committee
iRthe News and Courier to-day. with
drawing the names of the candidates for
State offices. / think the action remark
able, and that they did what they clear
1y had No right to do. The convention
nominated tho candidates for State Of
fees vs. We had right to dc, witt. the
sdvice of Senators TilIman and MrLau-
rn; and the consent of the former Exec
utixe Committee of the Democratic par
~. The new committee of said party
evi5essly raised the question Us bluff
measure, to scare Prohibitionists out of
the race.
No doubt there are good and conseien-
efous men on the new committee, but it
iSpain that th: liquor cement worked
the wires, waved the red rag" in the
tsce of the ProhtSation Committee, and
they fed before the enemy. hold that
tlS State Executive Committee Of the
Brohibitionists were empowered by the
convention simply pn'add the names Of
others Or offices where those We nolDi-
mated declined to accept. 1t is a great
breach Of their authority, therefor, to
withdrew the eaR,lfdah's from the field
inst to please the liquor crowd. But l
nm glad to see that You propose to stand
in your place and make the race for Gov
eEnor Ike & man. Bravo! And may
the Lord give you great victory at the
Wimaeys We csh't afford to run under
hre Of the enemy. Let us, rather, press
forward with renewed devotion to the
great cause Of Prohibition. The liquor
traffic has been for generations great
curse to South Carolina and the Christian
people Of the State ought to have a fair
chance to rise up and crush it out.
SOME SUGGESTIONS.
Lss circular letter be sent to every
inister in the State with the request
that he preach sermon in his church
On Prohibition dsriRg the month of July.
Let the white women In every CON-
munity Be organized into Prohibition So
eieties 30 work vigorously for Prohibi- |
sion from now until the primary. Let
the children be organized lnto leagues
for the same purpose. Let us get up en-
thusiasm among those who are doubtful. |
Lastly, let 1t be distinctly understood
