Sumter Wins in Easy Style Takin.
the Game In Whirlwind by a
Score Of 8 to 0-Dwyer

From the Daily Item, Aug. 18.
The great Billy Leval came all the
way to Sumter to gets his bumps and
be got them good and hard. He came
here for the express purpose of off
setting the work of Dwyer, for the
Camden people realized his ability,
and sent the best pitcher obtalnable
to oppose him. The little southpaw,
who has had such a wonderfully sue
cessful career, was all smiles during
the first few innings of the game, fol
he could not be found; but, alas, like
bubbles his smiles were Of short dura-
tion, and disappeared in the ofing
accompanied by the hits that were
made of his delivery.
On the other hand, Dwyer uncorked
some of the most perlexing benders
that we're ever shot over plate, and
be mixed them up so efficiently that
only two players of the Camden team
ever made connection with the
sphere.
The fans had an opportunity to see
James work behind the bat for the
first time yesterday, and be surely
made good with the crowd. He
caught an errorless game, made the
few Camden men who reached first
hold the sack, and showed his ability
to use the willow. He is evidently
the man that Sumter has been looking
for.
Cantey did spectacular work at
third; he took every chance, threw
accurately to the bases and is credited
with two hits, both of which were
clean and well placed.
The star play of the game was q

there was a man on third and two
down. Seeing all excellent opportu-
nifty for making an extra run, STAFFORD
played for enough off first to entice
Leval to throw to Gunter, and while
he was playing between the two bases,
the runner scored. and Stafford landed
safely on the second bag when the
ball was thrown home. That way
what Billy Earle would say, playing
the game. -
Gunter was making errors yesterday
as if his life depended upon having
sc 3'' all over the score book, and his
poor work was largely responsible for
two of the runs made by the locals.

ids TO make the Mississippi river aa
oceanic canal If the movement is
carried ont il would be nothing strange
TO see sea going boats land at the levee

ter has been preached ii has awak-
ened no little possibilities of the great
river.
The resolution passed by the Manu-
facturers' association was to the eff
conduct an investigation of the feast
bility of making the river a ship canal
If after sufficient prospecting by com
petent engineers the scheme seems
practical. then an appropriation would
be asked to provide funds for making
the channel navigable.
1t is believed it Will not be Il hard
matter 10 get congress to provide for
the necessary investigations. Such
waterway would not only benefit Hi

the following concerning Hydrastis
as we have already stated, into the COM
position OF both "Golden Medical Dis,

DR.. Coe says: rHydrastis exercises an
