oRANGEBURG DEFEATED.

oRANGEBURG DEFEATED.
Last Wednesday was Orangeburg:
off day. In the morning the horse race
between Jones Bros Nellie" and Mr.
Ben Kittrell's Lot" took place, resulting
in the defeat of the latter, an account o.
which appeared in last weeks Herald
In the afternoon the Orangeburg seconc
team met with very bad defeat at ths
hands of Bamberg's seconds. The visi
tors scored in the first, third, anc
ninth innings. 1t seemed after the third
inning that the score would be sixteen tC
two in favor of Bamberg, but in the ninth
errors on the part of the home team let
in five men, making the final score six:
teen to seven. Osteen pitched beautiful
game and received fine support from all
of the boys. Hartzog made very costly
error in the ninth, but this was balanced
by fine one hand stop at third base and
throwing out his man at first. Glaze was
batted out for twenty hits, four of these
being good for two bases each. Bull made
two very pretty catches in the centre
garden. The visitors proved very weak
when it came to welding the willow, and
failed to bunch the few hits which they
succeeded in batting out. Score by
innings:
Bamberg O6O ? 1-1G

Tie boys from the city on the Edisto
remained over during the night and at
tended social gathering at Mr.. Kirsch's s
given in their honor. 1t was the general
opinion of all who met the visitors that
they were not only a gentlemanly set OF
bows but very clever and sociablc as well.
The only thing that marred the Interest
of the game was the great amount OF
stinginess shown by some of the specta-
tors. Instead of being willing to pay
their dime or quarter and come on the
grounds they preferred to line themselves
up along the public road and thereby
advertise themselves and their greedlneSs
to advantage Bamberg will never be able
to have any good games as long as the
people show this stingy disposition: The
bows must have the money to detray
necessary expenses. The Bamberg boys
will probably 60 to Orangeburg this week
to return the game.
BAMBERG GUARDS PICNIC.
It was at ''clay hole" that the Bamberg
Guards gave their annual picnic on last
Thursday. Many of their friends from
all of the surrounding country were
present to enjoy the good time that the
Guards had prepared for them. The otfer
of free conveyance for the ladies was
taken advantage of by many of them. Ice
cold lemonade was served freeto all. In
the early part of the day the drum tapped,
the Guards lined up for roll call, and were
dismissed until the afternoon. Dinner
was served at one O'Clock. AT halt past
three the drum sounded again and
the Guards gave drill. Then came the
voting for the most popular young lady
on the picnic grounds. The votes We're
five cents each and the young lady who
received the most votes won the prize,
which was a very beautiful iced cake.
Miss LleWlie Bamberg received the high
est vote. Soon after this came the end OF
the pleasant day. All of the friens of the
Bamberg Guards who attended feel much
indebted to them for the very pleasant
time which they had.

SOCIAL GATHERING.
There was very pleasant social gather.
ing at Mr.. H. G. Folks last Friday even
I'M from eight to eleven o'clock. There
was not very large crowd present, but
those who were there had very pleasant
time. Many of the young people who at
tend these social gatherings, are away
visiting friends, therefore the attendance
was naturally small.

time on similar occsion. Only thirt,
chickens and thirty loaves of light breat
besides about two pecks of red horse wer'
eaten by the twenty eight fellows present

health was not good were not required tt
eat but one chicken and one loaf of bread
As the boys got to the place too late ther
| was no hunting of a wild cat, consequent
| ly no lynching took place. Supper
