Through the courtesy of Mr.. Thos.

invitation to attend the annual COM
mencement of the University of Mary
land, Baltimore, which will take place
Nav 31st. Mr.. Black has already
graduated in pharmacy, and gradu-
ates this year in dentistry, being now
a Phg. and D. D. S.
Prof. Duncan gave sumptous sup
per on Wednesday night, the 2lst
instant, complimentary to the base
ball team and the ladies who so ably
assisted in the dramatic performance
given for the benefit of the base ball
club of the Carlisle School. There
was a large attendance and the al
fair was complete success.
Thursday, the 22nd, the Gum Log
Club gave fish fry complimentary
to their out-of-town guests. Among
those present from Barnwell were:
Col. Harry D. Calhoun, DR.. Woody,
Messrs. Owens and Kelly. Those
from Branchville were: Messrs. 6.
w. Miley, L. D. Fairey, and l.. H.
Fairey. The fry was one of the live
liest of the season.
In consequence of the high price
of living and the healthfulness OF the
community and also the small collec-
tions made by them, due to hard
times, the physicians have been COM
pelled to raise their rates on the first
of June. 1t is with extreme reluc-
tance that they have come to this con-
clusion. They want to live so that
they may be able to give US their SER
vices to keep us living.
Mr.. C. K. Walker, of the firm
of Kaiser & Walker, Aiken, S. c.,
plumbing, heating and timing con-
tractors, was in the city Monday. He
was here to estimate On the heating
and plumbing for the new Carlisle
dormitory. They are thinking OF To-
eating in Bamberg, and we trust they
will do so, as it is mighty hard to
get work of this kind done now, an
out-of-town contractor having to be
employed.
1t is at last settled that Bamberg
will have a new and up-to-date post
Office building with good equipment,
the government having agreed to
sanction this move. A new building
will be erected, and work will begin
as soon as possible. However, it will
be some time this fall before it can be
finally completed. Getting this build
ing has been long and tedious job
for the post master, but he is graft
fed that he has been able to accom-
plish this for the town and the pa
irons of the Office.

Pirates Close The Season
On Polo Grounds With Win
RUBE MARQUARD EASILY SOLVED
BY WAGNER AND VIOX AND
GIVES WAY TO CRANDALI..
FINAL SCORE IS 4 TOl.


NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-McGraw :
champions fell by the wayside again
yesterday afternoon and the Pirates
closed their Metropolitan engagement
foI the season by chalking up a 4 &c
1 victory. George McQuiIIan's twirf.
ing was too stiff Il proposition for the
champs and Mcssrs. yiox and Wagner
greedily gobbled the offering Of
Rube Marquard Just at the moments
when bingles meant business. Up.
wards Of 10000 people attended tho
entertainment.
With two gone in the opening
frame, the Pirates gave McGraw's big
southpaw q sample of what he was to
receive later In more liberal doses
Niox cracked single over second
sack and raced to third when Was-
ner sent the sphere skipping into
safe right. A moment later Hans
boldly hiked for second and the in
slant Mclean shot the bali to Doyle,
VioX darted toward home. The
hutcfman reached second and lit
tie Jim slid across the pan Us Long
Larry took Short Larry's lightning
return. 1t was some double steal.
The Giants tied matters tip in their
half of the first heat on single by
Burns. an infeld out and hit by
Fletcher. This was the only run
New York could register during the
whole Afternoon. The Corsairs could
lot do much with Marquard's offer
iags until the fifth chapter when
they put the game where II remained
high and dry. McQuillan started
with base on bafsi and went to
third on twO-bagger by VioX that
almost knocked Fletcher off his feet.
Two were out again when Wagner
went to bat and he deliberately made
his third safe swat, Il single to CEN
ter that scored both McQuilian and
Viox.
Not Giant saw second base o fter
the first inning, until Shafer tripled
In the sixth, but McQuillan tighten
ed up and Tillie was left at the post.
With two out in New York's half of
the seventh Snodgrass and Mclean
singled. and McGraw promptly bench
ed Macquard and used Mccormick rs
pinch hitter. Gibson dashed back
to the scren and seized McCormick's
fould fly. Snodgrass had not ad-
vanced beyond second and Eddie
Grant, who was ordered to run for
Long Larry, was left on first.
Crandall and Wilson composed the
relief battery at the beginning of the
eighth. and Viox welcomed them
with triple that bounded past Muir
ray as that individual was attempt
ing to make shoestring catch. Jim
was compelled to stand on third and
look pleasant, while Wagner and Mil
Ter grounded out. but Chief Wilson
delivered single that scored the
little second baseman.
Wagner's leaping catch of Mer-
Ele's liner with one hand in the sew
cnth was one Of the fielding features
OF the week. Murray made run
ming grab that robbed Gibson of Il
long smash in the sixth and the so--
rel-torped outfielder turned u somer-
sault in the eighth and came UP with
Mitchell's liner in his first. Max
Carey ended the series with run
ard jump that enabled him to can
ture Art Wilson's dangerous looking
drive. Viox had a field day, with A
single. double and triple and he
scored three Of Pittsburgh's runs. be-

GEORGE PASKERT
 HARD LUCK MAN

George Paskert, Philadelphia Ma tional League outf1e1der, has an un- enviab1e record for misfortune Be- fore reporting to the Quakers last spring his troubles began with an at tack of scarlet fever During an ex- hibition game Paskert had scarcely got up speed before he was forced to quit the game again with torn 1iga- ments in his ankle. This laid him up for two weeks
 The little finger of his right hand was broken soon after his return to the game, ands when he had that re- paired the little finger of his left hand was dislocated. Just before the end of the season he suffered an injury to his groin
 After remaining over in PhiladeI- phia to be attended Paskert finally started for the Middle West in his automobile, and while in Cleveland a boy was run over by his machine.

BOXING DAY OBSERVANCE
 DYING OUT IN ENGLAND

This is Boxing-Day in Merrie Eng land, but the observance of this old festival is rapidly dy1ng out, and soon it will be only a memory.
