?Joe, the blood-honnd that has done j
so much (fifective UetecUve work for

supposed that he W3s the victim of I

terror to burglarp, escaped convicts, J

I scarce' / any doubt that som? out who
J had a grudge against liim is responsible
for his taking off.

A KOAD CONGRESS
Culled to Meet in ATinnsboro on Saturday,
August 2Sth.
After consultation with Intendant
Coan and others, we have been advised
to call a mass meeting of the citizens
of Fairfield County o consider the
improvement of the public roads of the
county. This mass meeting or congress
will be held in the court house
on Saturday, August 2Sth. It is imDracticable
to have delegates elected,
because there is no organization to do
it, and too much tiice would be wasted
in effecting the necessary organization.
Every citizen in the county interested
in the subject is iuvi ed to come, and
every section should be thoroughly
represented. The mass meeting can
take steps towards forming a permanent
organization for the improvement
of the roads on such lines and in such
manner as it may thinK oe r,

Mrs. Lucile liion ami h-r two chilI

j too far out, were caught by the strong

i near, realizing the dnngcr that Mrs.
Rion and her children were in, went
immediately to ih^ir icscur, but the
deadly under current proved too much
for him, and he soon found in
just as helpless a condition a^ those
whom he was trying to save. The
whole party would doubtless have
been drowned had they not been
picked up by a boat which, fortunately,
came along jast at the critical moment.
Mrs. Rion was unconscious when
taken from tlie water but she was in

AX ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Martin and Gabriel Ford, two
colored b. v?, were amusing therase.ves
late Friday afternoon by playing witb
a loaled pistol, and as a result Martin
rcciivul a very paiuful wound in the
? arf. ..t his face anil ncck. Mr.
Jas. S Eld r who saw the whole affair
say a th.i Gabriel threatened in a
pking muM;i i* io shoot Martin and at
the same time raised, pointed the
pistol f.t him, and pulled the trigger.
The hammer came down on a loaded
chamber and the bullet struck Martin ,
1 j the fleshy part of the right cheek,
and ranging downward lodged in his
shoulder. The wound is not a serious
one, a:sd as it seems to have been
purely accideutal no arrests have been
made.
Gabriel s*\s ih it only thiee of the
chambeis of the pistol were loaded and
th^t when he pointed the gu 1 at
Mar:iu he had no ide \ of .> hooting hiaa.
Tt.e bo\ s a;c con-ins and were 0:1 the

Mr. E'der sa\s he heard no quarreling
whatever, and lie is of the opinion
that the the ting was unintentional.

There is no doubt, however, about
its bein/ a case of criminal carelessnss?j

The people of Batesburg and the
surrounding country had the pleasure
yesterday of witnessing the finest
game of ball ever played on our
grounds. The team from Winnsboro
and our local team were pitted against
each other. For four innings the score
stocdlto 0 in favor of Winnsboro.
On the oppning of the fifth, the Bates
bur!? boys struc^ luck and brought in |
fonr tnen.
Bat Winosboro had to hive her
part of the inning. The first luan at
the bat, Mr. John Davis, cooly picked
out a nice little curve and drove it to
left field, away over the pine trees.
The result was a horr.e i un. The next
three men at the bat managed to reach
bases, and the crowd vrere expecting
arvmrthincr as El Han<ihan went to the I
bat. lie was called on for a home |
run. ile wa? very obliging and responded
by tapping it over in the
cornfield, bringing in three men and
making a bo ne run himself.
This made it G to i for Winnsboro,
and our little boys realized that something
mn-t be done. In their half of
the six! i ihe? made four runs and then
gave Wiunsboroa goose egg as their
share. In the eight, Batesburg scored
one run and Winnsboro ihree, tieing
(he score. In the ninth Batesburg
failed to score and the crowd went
wild. Winnsboro managed to get
two meu on bases with two outs.
The next man at tne oat Knocseu me
ball to shortstop and was thrown out
at first. The man at third came in on
ills batted ball, but of course it didn't
count. The score stood 9 to 9 and a
(f ilth inning should have been played,
but Winnsboro refused and the game
was given to Batesburg 9 to 0 by the
umpire.
The game was finely played by both
team?. If it had been played on
better grounds the score would have
been much smaller, as block balls and j
lost balls added greatly to the score on
both sides. Both pitchers did good
work, Jones striking out S and Davis
10. |
Thj young men of Winnsboro made
a fine impression, both on the ball
field and socially.
The above account of the game is
that given by the Batesburg correspondent
of "The State," and some of
the members of the local team say that
this statement is correct, but there is
considerable difference of opinion on
the subject.
The managerof I't Winnsboro team \
claims the winning nn on the ground j
that the b.i-cr referred to above us i
having been thrown ont at lirst base |
by ^tbe short stop reachcd the ba^ [
safely, and was put out, not by the !
shortstop's throw to first, but because
t \ .1 1Inft- I
ne (jne runner^ mriicu iu& iv^ j?. j
stead of the right alter crossing ibc j
bag. lie is backed in hi0 opinion by i
some of the members of the team and
by several of the spectators who were
in a position to ?ee just what occurred.
It is at a!) events a very delicate point,
and one that will probably never be
settled to ihe entire satisfaction of
botb teams.
The Winnsboro boys are now thor- j
nnohiv convinced that tlier can beat j
the Batesburg team wiibout the slightest
trouble, and they have offered
every inducement to secure another
f':ime. The Batesburgers are veiv
* |
,{.'ijy," however, about giving the.
locals ano^i^r chunce and the pros-;
pects for another game between the !
two teams is very, very gloomy. The ,
Batesburg team is, it seems to u?, i
morally bound to meet our team ajjain, j
and it is limped they will consent to I
do so.
