We Lost the Game.
Our baseball team when they
left anticipated meeting a heavy
team and it seems that their sup
position was correct. When
such a game as this comes up we
are informed that the best play
ers of Union, Pelzer and . Pied
mont combine, so the game
must have been a good one and
one in which some fine players
took part. The game - resulted
in a score of 18 to 8! in- favor of
the South Carolinians.

Used a Saw On Him.
We were told
Saturday of a
difficulty down at Millertown,
this county, m which a negro
was almost decapitated.
Mr. McAhster, the storekeeper
at a distillery, struck a negro in
the back of the neck with a saw
and the negro's head fell for

was almost cut in two, and, of
course the wound was a danger-.

Lightning Cured His Arm.
A remarkable freak of light
ning occurred here yesterday
when a sudden shock restored to
its old-time vigor the left arm of
Eli Forbes, which had been use
less for thirteen years on account
of rheumatism. While he was
sitting at the window yesterday
a thundershower came up and
with it were two sharp flashes of
lightning. With one. of the tre
mendous crashes Mr. Forbes felt
a sharp pricking of his flesh and
tingling in his bones and with a
jerk his left arm shot violently
forward from its cramped posi
tion. The shock was over in a
flash and Mr. Forbes felt his left
arm bristle with -I vitality and
tingle with vigor. To his delight
he found he could user the arm as
well as ever. East Brookfield,

"Why did you say?"
"I said you were worse than a
