So said Miss Walker. instructor
in physical training at the Girls High
big gymnasium was filled with strong,
All were in ouiver of excitement, for
they were TO take their first lesson In
volley ball. Miss Walker has just re-
turned from the East, where the game
has a firm foothold. She saw it played at
both Wellesley and Smith colleges and be
came thoroughly versed in the game. see
ing its advantages and knowing that 1t
would surely prove OF benefit to the girls
of San Francisco.
Whats the new game iike?" asked sew
eral Of the girls crowding. around.
.Tu show you when we get down in
the yard" answered Miss Walker, but
10 pat il briefly ii is a sort Of composite
between basket bail and tennis.
"A large net is stretched across the
field. but raised about two feet from the
ground. A ball about the size of foot
ball is used.
First. the two teams Of girls range
themselves on either side OF the net. The
hall is then started by being hatted with
the hand SO that 1t flies across the net.
The trick of the game is then 10 keep the
ball from hitting the ground or knocking
it into your net Unless your side knocks
u across the net there is 4 score against
1-ou and q. point for the other side.
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-23

Now" said Miss Walker, when the
girls were fully acquainted with the game,
"the method Of playing is this: In serv-
ing the ball the player stands four feet
from the net on what Is called the 'drib-
bling line. She tosses the ball into the
air and gives it a quick, decisive bat,
which sends 1T flying over to the other
side. 1t is then batted back. The side
which allows it to touch the ground is
scored against"
ANY number of girls may play. so long
as they are evenly distributed on each
side. The most satisfactory thing about
the game is the absence of roughness a S in
basket ball. No tumbling over one an
other on the floor in reaching for the ball
is possible, as the moment it touches the
floor a certain number of points is lost to
the side permitting it. The girls take
readily to this new form Of gymnastics,
and the "Atalanta" Club. which had be-
come depleted. is filling up again.

A Graceful Act Of Justice.

Mr.. Charles g. Summer, who was
convicted of killing Mr.. J. ". Muir
dock at Peak. and sentenced for |. e
in the p%enitertiary is now a free man
az lin after languishing in Jail 10:
abo1! Is months. Last Monday be
vas notified that Governor Elsrbe
had favorably considered his petition
for pardon and had granted his
prayer. The proper papers were
served on the proper officers and Mr.
Summer was liberated that after
noon.
Since his conviction his attorney.
Cdl. George Johustone, and his
friends and relatives have worked
with unfaging devotion to have him
pardoned. His petition contained the
names of about three thousand per-
sons, residing IN this, NeWberry ana
Fairfield counties, among whom were
some of our best known citizens.
The ladies of the neighborhood in
which Mr.. Summer resided joined n
the effort in his behalf and lent val
liable and effective services. A
majority of the jurors who sat at the
trial signed the petition as did the
presiding Judge, who endorsed the
business Of the request by saying
"that the prisoner undoubtedly had
the greatest p%rovocation for the deed.
The petitioners asked for the pardon
as a simple act of justice and with
such a strong petition Governor
Ellerbe could not have turned a
deaf ear and refuse to grant The
pardon asked for and at the same
time, done justice to The State and
the unfortunate prisoner.

Eatssburr Notes,
To the Editor of the DispatcE:

The long draught has been broken
by q shower and we trust more will
follow. The gardens are we'll nigh
ruined and stands of cotton are poor.
A great deal of grumbling has been
INDUCED in and much alarm by
those who had cotton planted on stiff
lands and which had not come up
yet. It is late to start a crop, but
in some places it is yet to be planted.
Business has held up remarkably
well so far, and the general outlook
though not very rosy is still en-
couraging.
We have bad some sickness though
not many cases. Mr.. 7. J. Kerna-
CHAN and Mrs. Seaborn Jones have
both been quite sick. We are glad
to say that MI. X is much improved,
but regret that the same cannot be
said of Mrs. Jones. She has suffered
q stroke of paralysis and is in q crit
cal condition at this time. Several
o.her cases of sickness have occurred
of late.
L.. w. Youngblood, q resident of
Saluda county, though near our town,
and the infant of H. W. johnson of
Columbia, have both died since /
wrote last. Mr.. Y. was ripe in years
and good deeds and I am glad that
an ADLER pen than mine has penred
the tribute Of respect in your COL
umus. He and Mr.. Johnsons little
babe were both inferred in tie
cemetery here.
Our school will close soon and the
the scholars are practicipg for COM.
mencement now. They promise a
treat for all who attend.
Mrs. NJ D. Hartman has been on a
visit to our town. She came to see
her faith. David Rawl, who has been
quite SICK hal is better now.
Col. G T. Graham of your town
has been here on professional bust
ness.
Many railroad runners have be n
circulated around of late and the Ie-
suit has been what might have been
seen at the start, the big fish has
swallowed the little one, and both are
now lying down, and as is usual, the
little enc is On the inside. We
anticipate no change of any kind ard
things will rack along as Of yore.
A j5int picnic excursion is being
arranged by the Sunday schools Of
the Methodist and Baptist churches
to come eff in the near future.
Dr.. NJ. I. Boatwright has bought
one acre Of unimproved land frcm
d.. E C. Ridgell for one thousand
dollars. Bateshurg dirt is valuable.
The Doctor expects to build a hotel
on it at an early day.
Considerable improvement in real
estate is going on in town.
Messrs. Duncan 4 Rutland are 10

Improvements at once, and by next

The cotton mill here t1f.rs the

has so far failed to operate it and We
learn a capitalist could secure control
