THf SENTIN EL JUR.NA Entered April 2P, 1903 at Pickens,.. (1., as second clas matter, under act of Congre08 of March 8, 1879. VOL. ZXXVUI, 1100,48, 10911 CRMANA, TflUIDATJONS.23 loo EASLEY DEFEATED. In a ,one-sided game of base ball Pickens beat Easley here yesterday, 14 to 1. The E asley boys, though aided by a Liberty and a Brushy Creek player, were c 1 e a r 1 y outclassed, the locals playing rings around them from start to iinish. The entire Pickens team played good ball, both at the bat and in the field, Grandy's work in the )ox being especially good, and but for a wild toss to third he would have scored a shut out. The Easley team evidently had an off-day. Southpaw Cephas Sitton from Brushy Creek pitched his first .game 'of the season, and found great difficulty in getting them over the plate. This Is the same Sitton who pitched professional ball in Virginia last year and who was offered a try out with the Greenville club of the Caro lina league this year. Dr. Will J. Bolt umpired a most satisfac tory game. A large crowd saw the game, several coming up from Easley and Liberty. iBat tories: Pickens, Grandy and Freeman; Easley, Sitton and Bowen. We had the above account of the game in type, when our reg tilar sport writer, whom we thought was out of town, sent in the following: The Pickens and Easley teams )hiyed a very exciting game of ball at the Pickens baseball park on Wednesday, June 24, and the many brilliant plays were wit nessed by a large and orderly audience. Gieen McLe3key, the chubby shortstop, demonstrated h I s mean disposition when he madte -a daring steal from first to sec ond while the ball was in the hand of pitcher Sitton. The large audience applauded Mc, which was just and proper at the time, but when the audienoe recovered thenielves they sav that they had done a wrong, for it is against the law of this state, but Mc was so bold and fearless in scheme that the good Jaw-abiding citizens gave bond for his appearance at the next game. Umpire Dr. Bolt, better known as slim Will, umpired the game andl was congratulated for his fairness; he seemed to please everybody present, and whie no relord was kept, there is a rumor to the effect that he made' ten errors out of twelve chanices. Pitcher Grandy played a very nice game and his wonderful control was responsible for the measly, score on the part of the E1asley team. It was not an easy matter to secure the services of pitcher Roy, for he wvas supposed to have been in a large city for some reason unknown to Sheriff Jennings and the name of the place .is unknown to the writer. Dicic Freeman can not be praised, to highly for his great work behind the bat,'and while Dick is a-mere youngster in age, he nevertheless possesses a veter an's brain. Hagood Brt. cc and Jnho. Carey constituted a part of the stone w411l inield, and several times the Easley loya rem arked that these youngsters had takc ing ways-they semed to take iverything that came t heir way. Frank McFall the grne ful se. ond baseman played his part with the grace of a big leaguer and there is a rumor to the effect that Manager Beard, has sold.. "big one"' to Chicago for $1.85: The out-fielders deserve much credit for their patience, for It was a clear case of wait. The Pickens boys got 14 hits of pitcher Sitton while the Eas ley boys were only able to find Roy for one hit. The score being 14 to 1 In favor Pickens, and the" boys reqponsible for the unkind' treatment are a follows: Line-up: Pickens, Carey, 1b; Bruce, 3b; McLeskey, ss; McFall 2b; Grandy, p; Freeman, c; Rob-' inson, rf; Christopher, lf; Hiott,, cf. Easley: Lander, ss; Bowen, c.

This makes ten >ut of eleven games the E. C. ,I. team has won this season. Pickens, R D F 4. Farmers are getting along iicely with their crops in this ittle barg.

Any community that is "pes tered" with loafers and idlen should be in constant fear. Th< criniinals of the-country are thi idlers and loaters. Such fellowi should be set to work or mad< bo move on. A strict eye shouk be kept on every fellow that hai ao job. They are dangeroun itizens; they are ready to comn nit any kind of crime; a vigilani aoniiittee in every town an< county could. do incalculabli servfce if they*ould look afte that class of humanity. Bu we have a idt of foafing preach ers who get license to preach an, ordination so that they ca1 make a living easy. The easies job in existence under the. smn Is to be a negro preacher. . Thes, Eellows fool silly women and niei nd rob them out of their earn ings. They do not ciltivat4 heir brain or moral character :ieithQr do they seek- to acquin Biblical knowledge; they simpi3 uiltivate their voices; tkey know ,iow to 'man," and that i mnough. And their ign6ran learers are deceived by thi 'sounding brass and tinklinc -yibal." They rant, whool ind holler'in tho pulpit am preach through their noses; i they can get a few sily wonei and inen to shout and holler they are satisfied. You will fimn that this class of preachers is th, loafing class; they never stud: anything; they hang around il barber shops, restaurants, depoti and the streets and other public places. They go from house t< house to "spend the night,' make appointments to take din ner and supper at the houses o! the hard workin~g people; the: preach half of the night ami loaf and sleep 4ttring the day Paul said tliat If 'any iman di< not work, lie should not eat. t would be well if every comn mnunity would get rid of tha loa~fing preacher. Make then pass on. A true minister of th< gospel is a busy man; he has n< time to gab; he has an imiportan message to deliver to men-th< message of salvation. He tarrie much on his knees and in hi study. He studies books, natur and men. He sees God in every~ thing. Let the people give ni encouragement nior support t any man who is not a true she1 herd; the sheep should.know hi v o i c o.-Southern Ploughmai (Negmot Six Mile. . - Rev. T. D.
