lospoAily, oiAe - An
celebration of the Cinean Literary
society Of the Prosperity graded
school was held last night in the
city hall at s. so o'clock.
Long before the time to COM
rnence the house was packed and
there was not standing room when
the exercises began.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the Rev. J. J. McKain.
Prof. E. O. Counts announced
that the president, Mr.. Edgar
Shealy, was absent and that the
exercises would continue as on the
programe. with the exception Of
one debater on the negative side,
MI. Geo. w. Black, who was also
absent.
The young ladies of the society
furnished the music and the first
piece was by Miss Rosabelle Har-
mon, entitled t'March Elegante.
The question for debate was:
t'Resolved, That we are drifting
towards National Ruin"
Mr.. Young Brown was the first
debater on the affirmative side of
the question and won much ap-
plause by the forcible manner in
which he presented his side.
Then Mr.. Charlie Barre, the only
one on the negative side who was
present held up his side wieh
speech that was full of argument
and thought.
Mr.. Marks Simpson then made
the closing debate for the afirma-
tive side. His speech was highly
praised by many.
Miss Annie Moseley then rem
dered piece on the piano, "Valse
Arabesque.''
Miss Susie Langford' recited a
piece, "Muslc in the Camp" with
the song as she mentioned them,
being softly played on the piano,
which was indeed fine.
Miss jamie Witherspoon then
played 1.-The Danceo of the Demon"
Miss Annie Laurie Lester recited
a popular piece, Shadows" and
the manner in which she recited it
gives promise of far better things
in the future.
Then in a few happy remarks
Hon. Cole L. Blease introduced
Mr.. Thos. S. Sease, of Spartan
burg, S. c., the orator of the
evening.
Mr.. Sease spoke in substance as
follows: The world may be d.
vided into good and bad. No per-
son ever lived who was all bad and
no person ever yet lived who was
all good, except him to whom we
look fc- our eternal salvation, and
he was the Son of God. The object
Of life ought to be IN effort to re-
press and suppress the bad and
draw out the good in our being.
In proportion as the good is drawn
out the bad is repressed and sup.
pressed. Indeed the Christian re-
ligion has for its object this very
end, and he is the most christian
man, who succeeds best in repress-
ing the bad and drawing out the
good not only in himself, but in his
neighbor and in humanity in gen.
eral.
Education of the masses aids
greatly in this effort-not that un-

A Benedict Arnold On the Elkton
Ball Team.

In its report of the Elkton-North East
game, which was played at the latter
place on Saturday afternoon last, and won
by North East by score of s to 7, the
Cecil County News has the following to
say concerning the treachery of one Of
Elkton's star players:
THE sad feature of the game to re-
port, and one that explains now fully
why Elkton has lost three straight games
to North East, was the treachery of one
of Elkton's players. With six chances
that could have been easily accepted, he
allowed five balls to fall in his territory
and be recorded as hits against McKen-
ney. and deliberately muffed foul fly
that fell squarely in his hands. At the
bat he also deliberately struck out twice
the only strike.outs scored by pitcher
Wilson. 1t was no chance play-it was
unquestionably the carefully executed
work of contemplate traitor.
''Dr. Bratton, the manager of the Elk
ton team, when asked why he did not
make change in right field, stated that
he was ccgnizant of what was being done,
but had been criticised for benching the
same player once before for similar work.
and wanted everybody to be fully con-
WINGED in the matter"

ON THE DIAMOND.
Rising Sun and North East Still
Winning.

The game Saturday at Perryville
between the team of that town and
Rising Sun was of a decidedly
"dopy" nature, and but for the
ability of the orioles to land on the
ball when hits meant runs, might
have had a different ending. The
errors of omission on the part OF
the Sun boys were even more
numerous than those of commission,
which as shown by the score were
by no means of rare occurrence,
and the little band of faithful root
ers who followed the league leaders
to the town at the mouth of the river
were kept on the anxious bench, as
misplays were constantly bobbing
up and threatening dire calamity to
their favorites.
The game was played under pro-
test as Perryville ran in a 'sringer''
to pitch, but after the entire nine
men had a turn at bat in the first
inning and five runs had been
scored by Rising Sun the railroad
ers side tracked their unknown
wonder and sent Richardson in to
do the twirling. who met with bet
ter success.
The sole redeeming feature of
the work of the orioles was
the manner in which they
welded their bats, hammering
the ball for sixteen safe drives.
Brickley was the star performer in
the batting matinee with four hits
|out of five times at the bat, two of
them being for two bases. W.
Snyder was a close second with
three safe ones to his credit.
Reynolds pitched steady game
for his team and with anything like
the support the boys are capable
|of giving him, Perryville would
not have even been a good second.
Moore and Miller led the Perry
vile aggregation in fielding, some
of their work being unusually
clever.
The concluding game of the series
will be played with Perryville
Saturday, when d brace is due our
boys if they do not want to place
their chance for the cup, which is
almost within their grasp, in jeop-
ardy, as North East still has pos
sible chance of winning out in the
stretch. The score:
