BASEBALL AT MAGNOLIA.
Home Team Defeats MayesyilIe-0ther
News Notes.

Magnolia, S C, July ga very
pretty game of ball was played on last
evening between Magnolia and Mayes-
vile first mines on the ground of the
latter, the result Of which was 12 to 5
in favor of the former. Mayesyil1e.
made runs in the 9TH inning, during
which Mr.. Leland Wilson (Magno-
las pitcher) received some injury,
and Mr.. Carol DuRant slipped into
the box, which plainly meant no more
scores for Mayesville, although the
gallant nine cut and slashed the air
frantically trying to touch those zig
gag, up and down balls which were
hurled through +ae air with cannon
ball speed. But, uninterrupted, these
treacherous. balls, lodged so prettily
in catcher Edwin DuRant hands, an
ever-ready receptacle for balls on such
occasions. Mayesyille has a fine team
of wide-awake and gentlemanly boys
as can be found in any community,
but they were fairly outclassed. There
was very little compounding in the
clubs on either side. Only one acci-
dent: Mr.. Carol DuRant, flying for
bali, collided with Mr.. G. Loveth,
badly though not seriously hurting the
latter.
Messrs. Johnnie Mcintosh and Wal
ton Mcleod have returned from their
mountain trip, looking well.
Our popular and efficient railroad
agent, Mr.. House. has after three

Miss Maggie Jones, of Georgetown,

Mr. "Bill Tom'' Mcleod, the popu-
lar commercial tourist, is spending
several days at his home in this
place.
N[r. J. S. Potts is having his large
store repainted, and other improve
ments added.

rious illness, is little better, though
still quite sick.
Drs. Darby and Tarrant have all
they can do.
Mr.. Eustace Rhame is better and

Weather dry and hot, and crops suf-
fering.
Mr.. G. T. Quick who operates a saw
mill near here, several days ago,
bought mich cow from Mr.. Tay-
lor, the milk Of which is poisonous,
for Zine persons have been made des-
erately sick from drinking the milk.
The day after Mr.. Quick brought
the COW home, several of his family
and two or three mill hands, drank
the milk, and in a few hours had to
call in DR.. Darby. Mr.. Quick re-
turned the cow promptly to Mr.. Tay-
lor, who subsequently sold it to MI.
D. P. Dennis, of this place, and after
drinking glass of the milk, he, in
four or five hours, suddenly became
very sick and had to get a doctor.
Since that another person drank a
glass of the milk with same results.
The doctors are at sea, until the milk
can be analyzed. The animal appears
to be very healthy, and the milk rich
and pleasant to the taste. Any
" doubling Thomas" can have chance
to experiment, as one has already been
victi1nized- It is certainly a strange
fact. The trouble can't be attributed
to feed or diet.
We heard of fine rains around last
evening, but none reached this section.
But as the showers have commesced
in other places, we feel more hopeful.
