from the Savoy village of Saint Jean

without ever leaving it has had her
nationality changed three times. She
was born in 1914, and as Bonaparte

The;- First Game From Sumter in
G. Two-Hour Contest-{:ame Was
Won in First Two Innings.

The heat yesterday was terrific and
it apparently counteracted all the
ginger in the make up Of the local
team or else the heat waves obscured
their vision and put their batting eyes
to the bad. But whatever the cause
they did not play the game as they
did when they We're climbing to the
top of the percentage column few
weeks ago, While on the other hand
the Orphans, who had never been
able to get a game from Sumter
heretofore, were in the game all the
time and played better ball than US
ual. It is true that it was a game
in which all the good luck seemed 10
be with the visitors and all the bad
with the home team. Several times
it looked as if the home team was
going to score, but they never could
quite make it. The game was slow,
being in progress for two hours, and
there We're no exciting incidents and
no brilliant plays to relieve the mo-
notony.
Welsh was in the BOX for Sumter
Cor three innings. and Welded six
hits. which netted three runs for the
Orphans. Buck Flowers was then
sent in, and he held the Orphans
down for the remainder Of the game.
and no more scores We're made. Snl-
der for the Orphans pitched a steady
game from start to finish, and while
Sumter got enough hits to make sew

place. they were scattered ell through

from President Smith, Of the State
league to the manager Of the Darling
ton team, in Spartanburg this after
noon, stated that from now until fur
ther instructions are received the Oar

rect1ons Of the leaece and independ-

The inference is that Darlington Ell
ther voluntarily or involuntarily has
lost its franchise. It was rumored on

the Darlington club. Tomorrow's

where soda and other high grade fer

very favorably with other Julys, and
with good seasons will yet make fair

Your correspondent took ride

corn that did the eye good to look at,
and as most of our farmers are plant
ing somewhat on the Williamson plan
will make plenty to do them an

greatly benefit the crop.

You catch the last phrase? Yes, for
his family. 1t is awful to think about,
that a man will actually sacrifice his
family, that God has given him, to
crafty his own selfish desires. I do
not think that it is any worse in the
sight of Goa for a married man than
single one to frequent such low
places, for every one knows that it
is. sinful and wicked in both cases, but
in the eyes Of the world it is more
culpable for the married man for
this one reason: he has a family de-
pendent on him for support, and I
suppose every one has heard of the
gamblers luck" Yes, there are
