Baseball News.

The game of baseball played here We'd
nesday afternoon Of last week between
St. George and Bamberg was shut-out
for the visitors, Bamberg winning by a
score of too. The St. George team was
made up of the following players: Cam
eron, Linstedt, Virgins, Dukes, Klauber,
Pearlstine, Walker, Steadman, and Osteen
The local team was: Hoffman, Bamberg,
Wise, Holland, Aldrich, Laval, Brabham,

Our baseball team expected to 60 to

games, but the dates could not be arranged
to suit them Columbia wanted Bamberg
to play On Thursday, Friday, and Satur-
day, but most of our men could not be
away from home the last day of the week.
1t is probable that games with Columbia
will be arranged for next week.

Charged With Murder.

Last Thursday afternoon Abraham
Ancrum, a negro who lives near Spring
town, was brought to Bamberg by Mr..
Wm. Bessinger, deputy for the Coroner,
and lodged in Jail. He is charged with
murder, the crime being that of beating
his fourteen-year old daughter to death.
The child died on Thursday of last
week, and Coroner A. ". Bessinger en-
pannel!ed a jury and held an inquest on
Thursday, the result of the investigation
being that Ancrum was held for murder.
The testimony taken at the inquest has
not vet been filed in the clerk of courts
office, but We understand that Ancrum
beat the girl on Friday of week before
last, her death occurring the following
Tuesday. Possibly on Saturday he went
for DR.. E. Kirkland, who came and found
the child horribly beaten, her body being
almost covered with wounds and one arm
being broken or badly injured. Ancrum
claimed that the girl was ill from female
troubles, and denies that he whipped her.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury was the
cause of his being arrested.

.Paine'S SCelery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases Of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
do not have any more headaches. feel
better than have for years."

Picnic.

The BOYS and girls of Bamberg know
very we'll what it is to enjoy q day out In
the woods, to run and play, or in other
words, they know what it means to enjoy
a picnic, they have experienced such oc-
casions. But on last Saturday group OF
children, most of whom had never spent
a day out in the woods, were conveyed to
that popular place about two miles from
town known as Cedar Springs. A group
of eager faces, bright with an expectancy
of Joy seldom seen, gathered at the fac
tory chapel early on the appointed day.
These were the children whose parents
are laborers in the cotton mills OF this
town. When the wagons had begun to
move, cheer after cheer was sent up from
little throats, being only an outward show
of the joyful hearts within. As soon as
the Springs had been reached, work was
commenced by those in charge to make
the little ones b p real good time The
boys, who had carried the necessities for
PLAYING baseball, set out at once to play a
game. Two sides were chosen, and the
game began. Both sides played hard and
while no fine exhibition was given, still
we venture to say that no game was ever
played in these parts in which the play
ers themselves found more pleasure
While the boys were engaged in their
game of ball the girls played Jump rope"
and other games suitable and enjoyable
to little girls. Later on ''sack races" were
run by the boys. The girls looked on
with faces full of interest. As the racers
would strive to run, they would fall, but
up again they made desperate efforts to
reach the goal. Peals of hearty laughter
could be heard as the girls enjoyed the
sight. In the meantime lemonade, ice
cold, had been prepared, the picnickers
were called to the stand, where they were
given to drink as much as they would
Other games made the time seem short
till the dinner was announced. The bas-
kets, which had been prepared by the
ladies of the Methodist church, were
spread out and the jolly little crowd were
summoned to the table where they might
eat till "warned by an inward voice" thai
they were satisfied. Then amusements
in the evening as in the morning made
the time pass off quickly and pleasantly
Back home they came, and the eye could
read plainly enough the evidence OF
good time written On bright faces.
This, the first picnic ever enjoyed by
the factory children of Bamberg, was one
of those never-to-b e-forgotten events
which happen in the lives Of every child
These children will look back to this
and forward to the next picnic with long
ing hearts. Great credit is due to those
who had this fresh-air entertainment IN
in charge.

Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, June 29.-Messrs. P. NJ.
HERS and G.. W. Folk. of Colleton, were
among the many visitors in town last
Saturday.
Owing to the heavy rains Friday, there
was large crowd in town Saturday af-
ternoon. A few of the farmers in this
section say that the grass as we'll as the
crop has been drowned.
Mr.. D. Rhoad, who has been with Cope.
land g. Dannelly since January last, will
20 on the road the first of July. He will
sell tobacco for the Southern Tobacco
Works, of Virginia.
Mr.. 81. G. Copeland had the first melon
of the season. He raised it in his garden,
and what seems very strange to us is the
fact, as stated by him, that there was only
one on the vine.
Mrs. q. L. Bishop is on the sick list
this week, but is reported some better.
Messrs. c. Ehrhardt & Sons repair
shops are running full blast now, getting
gins in order to gin the fleecy staple this
fall. We hope they will have more to do
than the present outlook OF the crop
seems to warrant.
Much interest has been manifested here
over the probable outcome of the Tillman
trial. 1t is certainly burden toLexing'
ton county to be thus bothered with what
rightfully belongs to another.
The Kearse boys crossed bats with the
Oak Grove team last Saturday afternoon
but the rain coming up the game was dis
continued after the first inning. The
score stood 3 to in favor of the Kearse
team.
Miss Sophia Copeland has returned
home, after pleasant visit to her broth
er, s. w. Copeland, of this place.
A negro man entered the home of Mr.
G. G. Fender one day last week and took
a few small articles. We have not been
able to learn whether the family was al
home or not, but suppose they were not
as the thief got away. He was later seen
at Mr.. John Cotheran's place, but has not
been heard from since.
On account of the rain, Rev. +. T.. Mon
roe did not fill his appointment here yes
terday afternoon.
There is to be K of P. picnic here the
last of July, followed by a ball that night
AS the Knights never do things by halves
we are expecting good time.
Mr.. T. D. Jones and family, of Bishop
Vile, and Mrs. G. L. Kinard, of this place
who has been visiting them for the last
three weeks, are expected in town next
Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Jones will prob
ably spend the summer with Mrs. Jones:
people in this section.
The young folks are looking forward
to good times at St. Johns next Friday
If you want to have pleasant day witt
plenty of dinner and lemonade, 60 to st
COINS, and you will get it.
Ehrhardt is supplied with fish from
Colleton county. They are caught IL
traps in Little Salkehatchie and brough
here on the train.
It is so wet, news is scarce this week.

When the stomach is overloaded; when
food is taken into it that fails to digest, it
decays and inflames the mucous men,
brane, exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secret mucin, instead OF the
natural juices Of digestion. This is called
cafarrh of the stomach. For years suf-
