\ Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be taken
with small children during the hot
weather of the summer months to
guard against bowel troubles. AS q
rule it is only necessary to give a
child dose of castor oil to correct
any disorder of the bowels. Do not
use any substitute, but give the old
fashioned castor oil, and see that it
is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and
has tendency to gripe. If this does
not check the bowels give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then dose Of castor
oil, and the disease may be checked in
it's incipiency and all danger avoid
ed. The castor oil and this remedy
should be procured at once and kept
ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble
appears. This is the most successful
treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cases of cholera infantum. For sale
by all druggists.

voyage to Seattle there were more
than so ships either at the docks Of

tend back from the town.
Shortly before the departure of the
Kanagwa fire started in this vast

be ext;nguished had DESTROYED some
20, 600 bales. Capt. Vale states that
the loss was scarcely Doriceable to the

filed almost immediately by other
bales which we're discharged from the

cotton is America product. although

CAMDEN VICTORIOUS.
From the Daily Item, Aug. y.

Z Il
Sumter emerged undismayed from
the white wash barrel yesterday. 1t
was lot that our team was outclassed,
for neither succeeded in securing au
earned rup (; but their defeat may be
Justly attributed to the inability OF
the locals to connect with the delivery
Of Flowers, and costly errors by Wealth
erly at short, which were the approx
mate cause of the two runs secured by
the visitors. However, Stafford, who
was playing left garden, had an excel
lent opportunity to cut of one of the
runs at the plate. Sumter has a
splendid batting team, but the boys
Just had an off day and they could
not get their eye on the ball. See
what they will do to this same Flowers
in the game next week.
Sanders has been up against Cam
den very frequently lately, and in the
great majority Of these occasions Lis
reputation as a pitcher has suffered,
consequently the Camden team was
inspired with the confidence of being
able to rap him out, which they did
with eminent satisfaction. He was re.
placed in the box by the reliable little
Stafford, who held the hits down for
the remainder Of the game, while
Sanders went to staff )rd's post of
duty, way back in the sassafras
bushes.
AS indicated by the close score, the
game was good one; but it is seldom,
indeed that the spectators at any ball
game have to sit and witness pro-
longed and disgusting exhibition of
beefng, lasting fully three quarters
of all hour A few more similar oc-
currences would simply kill ball in
Sumter.
The umpire should never have allow
ed it: it was the general opinion of
those who saw the game, that he
should have made his decision. stuck
by it, ordered all players to their posi-
tions and off the field, and henched
those who failed to obey. That is the
only way to have good ball. 1t is
not the writer's. purpose to lay the
blame at anyone's door; those who
saw the game can fix the responsible
ity Oh whomsoever they please.
An amusing incident of the game
was the hoodoo tnat seemed to follow
Miller OF the Camden team. He fan
ned three times, reached first once on
an error and was thrown out at
second, and when running for
Flowers, was caught mapping off first,
all of these caused him as much dis
pleasure as it pleased the fans, fol
Miller is Sumter boy.
The particularly brilliant play Of
the day was made by Knox at second,
who scooped in an almost certain hit,
threw out the runner at second, who
killed the batter at first
While the game was being played
it was fast one.

WHITEWASH APPLIED.
Sumter Shuts Out Camden in Fast
Game-Green's Pitching and
Sanders Homerun the Fea-
lures.
From the Daily Item, Aug. II.

The Camden rooters yesterday after
the game wore an expression OF hope
]ess misery. 1t touched ones heart to
look upon such scene.
Judging from the roofing on the
grand stand and on the SIDE lines, it
was evident that they bad expected
another IA to 5 performance but in
forming their conclusions tney had
grievously omitted to conside the puz-
zling proposition in the form of Wal
ter Green, the little scutbpaw, with
the benders.
Since balls has bean layed in Sum-
ter, the Oldest of the fans cannot
remember having seen more credita-
BILE Or effective exhibition CT pitching
The first four men that faced Green
went back to the bench without
knocking even so much as foul ball,
and so it continued throughout the
game until the number of strikouts
numbered fourteen. He had stock Of
benders of varied assortment, be
mixed them up pretty generally AID
put them over with such speed that
the Camden batters were completely
at his mercy.
The two little scratch hits that were
gotten of his delivery, were made by
DePass, one of which was an easy
chance and could have easily been
taken by either Lawrence or Sanders
but, as both tried for it, shey stopped
in the field ard looked at each other
while the ball hit the ground
Another sensational feature Of the
game wes Sanders home run in the
sixth inning. There we're two strikes
on the batter, when be raped the
ball over left field fence, and made
the circuit to the great pleasure OF
the fans.
Weatherly played his usual good
game, and Stafford and Lawrence
came in opportunely With good hits,
both of which scored rwo runners.
Holland, also did good work With
the stick.
Durant is good pitcher, and if
he had received the support that was
given Green the score would have
been much smaller However, in the
fourth and the seventh lnulng be
yielded four hits each, which netted
total of six runs.
Mabry is a hard and consistent
worker, an did ali in bis power to
keep the score down. He coached his
team we'll during the entire game.
Durant, E., and DePass played
we'll in the infeld; Durant got a
very dificult chance:
The game as a whole was exciting
and thoroughally enjoyed.
