Rock HILL, August 4.-Several good
rains have fallen in the last few days,
although from all accounts they have
not been general. Last nights rain
was exceedingly heavy and was ac-
companied by a heavy thunderstorm,
with some excessively bright flashes Of
lightning. From all indications the
In the death of Mr.. ]. D. Scruggs,
which took place last Friday at a. m,
the town has lost one Of its most repu-
table citizens. He had been closely
identified with Rock Hill for the past
eleven years as a commission broker,
and had by integrity and uprightness
built up a large business. His death
was caused by cancerous growth In
the stomach, which had enfeebled his
health for sometime. Mr.. Scruggs was
twice married. His first wife was Miss
Marlborough from North Carolina, and
his second was Mrs. Gardner from
Kershaw, and he Is survived by Mrs.
Scruggs and three children. He was a
consistent, conscientious member Of
the Baptist church. from which edifice
he was buried last Saturday morning
at IL o'clock, mourned by host of
sympathizing friends.
The friends of Mrs. Margaret E.
Moore were shocked to learn Of her
death last Sunday afternoon at Cleve-
land Springs. She had not been we'll
and had gone to Cleveland for q
change. From the close of the sum-
mer school. President Johnson and his
wife have been practically with her
nearly all the time. and they were pres
ent when the end came. Mrs. Moore
was twice married, President d. b.
Johnson Of Winthrop college, being the
issue of the first marriage and Mrs.
Paul Workman Of the second. During
her residence among us Mrs Moore
had endeared herself to everybody by
her gentle sweetness. and her death Is
greatly regretted by all. Her funeral
took place yesterday evening at p. m.,
and was conducted by Rev. w. l.. Lin

THE county board Of commissioners
has power to ask for special tax levy
for road purposes, without having te
wait for a vote on the subject, If 1t de-
sires to do so, and in view Of the ex'
pressed sentiment of the recent con-
vention, the legislative delegation
would probably endorse such a request
from the board.

The movement to honor by suita-

correspondents who lost their lives in
the South African War revives the rec
objection of service performed under
trying and perilous conditions. The
committee Of the Institute Of Journal
lists has been compiling a list Of the
correspondents who were killed or
died of disease while in the discharge
Of duty. "Killed at Wagon HILL"
"Killed at Slingersfontein," KILLED al

of war in money falls into insignifi-
canoe when compared with its cost in
men. Try how they may, no class of

No Free Delivery Route.

Mr. W C Brown special agent OF
the Rdral Free Delivery service,
come here last Friday for the pun
pose of inspecting the proposed
routc from Kingstree to Central
church and back TO town via Benson
postoflicc. After looking over the
circuit carefully Mr. Brown sub
mitted an adverse report. The
rules of the service require as Il con-
dition to establishing free delivery
system at least 100 families who are
landowners to reside within Il half
mile along the route. As not more
than half the required number live
within Il half mile of this road the
inspector had no choice but to
make an unfavorahle report. This
outcome Of the matter is great
disappointment to those interested
in the proposed route.

coLoRED FARMERS INSTITUTE.
And Educational RalIY-Addresses b,
Miller, Beck and wiIkerson.

Quite crowd of cololed citizens
assembled in the court house on Sat
ulday, the occasion being the farm
ers' institute and educational rally,
conducted by Pres. Thos. Z. Miller
of the State college.
President Miller. called the meet
ing to order at 1890 o'clock. After
stating the object of the gathering
he introduced as the first speaker, j
B Beck, who is now conducting the
Terchers' Summer School here.
Prof Beck spoke about ten min-
utes on the subject "rhe Public
School System, its object and how to
maintain it." Among other things
lie said that the public school sys-
tenn was not what it should be. The
terms were TOO short and salaries
poor; but it is the duty of the citi-
Gems of each school district to form
themselves into voluntary associa-
ton for the improvement of the
school in their district, by supple
menting the public funds. He
urged the necessity of having good
public schools as the masses have no
other opportunities. Education is
necessary to good citizenship.
RS Wilkerson, of the State col
'lege, who is also one of the in
structcrs of the colored Summer
School here, was next introduced
and spoke in the same strain. He
said that the public schools would
be improved in proportion as the
patrons manifested interest in them.
That We need to do more for our
selves. Too much help tends to
produce inertness, The State would
be encouraged to do more if We
would do something for ourselves.
One of the imperative needs in al
most every rural school district is an
improvement in the school buildings
which are veritable cold traps.
The speaker then introduced Pres
Thos E Miller, who began by saying,
GA prophet is not without honor
save in his own country" He re-
ferred to the fact that he had some
years ago opposed the raising of
money for carrying the registration
law to the U S courts on the grounds
that the negro had no one to carry
his case properly before the courts
and could not get a favorable decis-
sion. He was pleased to see that
though it took time to prove then
yet his predictions were true. He
then discussed the condition of the
negro, the kind of education needed,
and gave some wholesome advice to
teachers, farmers and others present.

tree Base BaIlisis Tock it

Kingstree's base ballists sighed for
new worlds to conquer and on Fri
day TUNED their attention to another
seaport town, viz, the metropolis of
the State. But they were flying too
high in their endeavor to keep pace
with the sea gulls as the result of
the game conclusively proves-ten
to nothing in favor of Charleston.
The News and Courier gives the
following facetious write up of the
game:
Kingstrec is wrapped in darkest
gloom. Her noble sons, who left
that thriving town with visions ot
victory, brought back Il story IN
which the figures ten and zero take
prominent parts.
The fans sat around the soda
fount. On the counter stood tall
glass bottles, with red stick candy
inside.
And You >aythcy shut you OUT
remarked the man, who always
wants to talk abOnt the way he used
to lin games.
"Won't you boys have something
cold." asked the kirgstreean who
played short, ina panama hat.
One would imagine that ne desired
to change the subject.
"Somethiug cold! Ten to nothing
is cold enough for me-" and the
speaker filled filled ppe with Top
tobacco.
"Well say, how did they manage
to walk off with the game?" asked
the syrup singer.
"Well, it was this way: When we
would get man on base, which was
not very often, the pitcher would
get to work and our men would see
how close they could come to the
ball without touching it. They did
not touch it or come very
close to it. When Char rleston would
get a man on base the batter would
sacrifice or hit safe. If he did hap
pen to hit to one of our men he
would side-step it. Our hits
amounted to nothing; theirs did"
. That tells the story. The visitors
PLAYED hard and were thoroughly in
earnest, but they could not unraSel
Sparkman's wide outs.
The game was featureless. There
were no sensational or half-ralslng
catches. There were no mo ments
when the spectator held his breath
with both hands and let his face
hang open. The spectators'sat qul-
etly in their seats and wondered how
long it would be before the ninth
inning. The Charleston boys scored
whenever they so desired. Kings
tree desired, but did not score.
Charleston made her first score in
the second inning. Harry Spark
man flew out to short and Aston
made pretty hit over short. When
Lindstedt was up Aston waltzed
down to second. Lindstedt drove
safe over first and Aston pulled
open the throttle and came from
second home. The right fielder,
who had tracked Lindstedt's ball
down, threw it home in attempt to
catch Aston and Lindstedt advanced
to second. Shackelford hit to
pitcher Gilland and Llndstedt
started for third. The third base
man was busy seeing Gilland stop
the ball and third was unguarded.
Lindstedt anchored safely and
Shackelford stole second. He
played off and Gilland tried to catch
him, in spite of the fact that Lind
stedt was on third. Second Base
man Fairy muffed the ball
and Lindstedt and Shackelford
scored. Three scores for Charleston.
The fireworks really began in the
fourth. McFall came up and hit a
