DR.. Layton invited THE REPORTER
editor to take a little spin in his auto
out in the country last Friday evening
and we were greatly surprised at the
ease with which the machine climbed
up the hills, and on the level road we
skinned along at speed nearly equal
to a passenger train. We encountered
a number of teams and it was interest
ing to notice how the horses took the
new horseless carriage. Some of them
would pass right along and never pay
any attention to the auto and others
would commence to getting excited as
soon as the auto came in sight and
whenever team showed any signs
of nervousness he stopped the auto and
assisted them in passing. But the joke
was on DR.. once on the trip. We were
bowling along at the fair rate of speed
when suddenly team driven by lady
came in sight and DR.. in order to he on
the safe side Immediately broug hit the
machine to stand still, and got out
and went to their assistance leading the
team by without their even picking up
their ears. We congratulated him on
the fact that we had met one team
which was not afraid of the auto, and
then DR.. Father sarcastically remarked,
81 should say they wouldn't scare for
both horses were blind as bats"

Ball Game.

The first intercollegiate base ball game
of the season was pulled off yesterday
afternoon between the Orangeburg Col.
legiate Institute of this city and the
Carlisle Fitting School of Bamserg. Both
were from the very start confident that
they were going to win, and when the
time came for them to 60 on the field,
they went in with all the spirit possible.
There was good crowd of spectators,
and many were sure that the team
of the Institute would stand no chance at
all. It did look as though they would
lose out at first, but they played hard
and steady and soon regained all that
they had lost. For the first two or three
innings. the Institute was unable to
score, while the Fitting School had
brought in six runs. Then the Insti.
tute took new interest and they pushed
their number up to eleven, but at this
point they were unable to go higher. The
Fitting School, with great effort then
nut five more scores on to what they al
ready had, and thus tied the Institute.
Thus at the close of the ninth inning the
score stood II to II. The game was
called here, as the visitors had to return
on the afternoon train, which they just
,u.,oaaod in cotchino
The game in many respects was very
interesting, but no one expected to see
yery much as it was the first. There
will, very probably, be several more
games between these teams before the
season is over.-Orangeburg Evening
