ter is sure to see some real baseball
this summer. out at, the fair grounds.
There will be several out of town
players on the team this year. The
management is negotiating with
Scofe Campbell and Ryan Chandler,
who were fast infielders last year. Tt
is thought that McKeithan, who halls
from Raeford, II. c., Will be on hand
to help out in.the pitching line. Nc
Keitham has the reputation Of being
one of the best pitchers in the Tar
Heel State and great things are expect
ed of him this summer. Several other
fast players are on the string and these
will with the addition of the local tall
ent give Sumter what might be called,
..Er team. y
Captain Burns is holding daily .prac-
tees and there is lot Of promising
material coming out every day.
The team Will be greatly handicap
ped by the loss Of Buck Flowers this
year. Buck will be out of the game
on account Of an operation for appen-
dicitis and il is going to be hard to
fill his place With a. man like him.
The diamond atfthe, fair grounds
is being rolled and c)ayed and prom
ises to be in such condition by the 14th
that it will be one of the fastest dia-
monds in the State. A score board 10
BY &c feet is being erected and every
thing being done to make real ball
park. 1t is hoped that the people of
Sumter will support the team this sum-
mer by coming out every game and
boosting l.. home team. This is not
a money-rnaking project, the manage
ment only want to give Sumter some

Dr.. MARION breaches Forccful Sermon,

Taking as his subject, Our Leisure
Hours. DR.. ]. P. Marion deliverd a
forcefnl sermon Sunday at the Pres
byterian church on the present-day
problems Of the young people He
pointed out the fact that only the
working man or woman can have leis-.
ure hours. The professional loafer does
not know the JOY of working and then
having a few hours of rest and leis-
ure. These hours of rest are neces-
sary for an individual and it is the
way this time is used that determined
the character Of a man. They may be
used in dancing, playing. cards, or like
amusement. this is Only throwing time
away. The wise naah or woman uses
these hours for Development There
are three ways Of development. ply
sically. mentally and spiritually. The
wise man develops himself physically
by games, by taking walks in the
woods. by healthful exercise, not by
dancing or sitting around doing moth
ing. We can develop ourselves in
these hours mentally by the use of
good books and conversation. DR.. Ma
rion mentioned the modern fapper a1
thing to oe avoided. He advised the
young men to talk to real woman if
he wanted to lift himself to higher
things The spiritual development
also can be aided in these leisure
hours by the reading of the Bible and
reflection.
1t was a strong and timely sermon
and we'll delivered. DR.. Marion will
preach a series OF sermons this month
for the young people and next Sun
day will discuss the question Of amuse
