SET ASIDE 100000
For Constructing an Irrigation Reser-
voir on the North Platte.

Washington, May 3.-The secretary
of the interior has set aside, provision
ally, the sum of 1000, 900 for the con-
struetion of the Pathfinder reservoir on
North Platte river in Wyoming. Con
struction will proceed contingent upon
favorable reports from engineers in the
field as to various details still under
consideration and particularly as 10
whether an adequate area of irrigable
land can be found in western Nebraska.
The reservoir viii be of sufficient ca
pacity to supply all of the land under
it in Wyoming, but it is considered
necessary to increase this area by util-
izing water in western Nebraska where
there are large areas of arid and semi
arid country to which water can pro-
badly be brought. The details of cost
and methods of getting water to this
land are to be worked out before the
Pathfinder reservoir is constructed.

Will Retire From Cabinet.

Washington, Jure A-Althcugh
the attorney general refuses either to
deny or affirm the statement, it is
learned from a high source that it is
bis intention to retire from the cabinet
within the next few days or as soon
as his appointment as United States
senator from the State Of Pennsylvania
is received from Gov. Pennypacker.
He will be succeeded by Nh. Moody,
the present secretary of the navy.
It is said that after a conference with
the president Attorney General Knox
concluded that his action in retiring
at once from the department of justice
would be in accordance with the spirit
Of the constitution which provides
that each State shall have two sena-
tors and empowers the governor ! to

CROP OUTLOOK IN TWO COUNTIES.

Having gone over the better part of
l am prepared to say that the outlook
tor a crop Notwithstanding the un-
favorable spring is most excellent, and
this because meD are giving more time
and attention to preparation, fertiliz-
ing, cultivation, etc. But notwith-
standing this here and there you will
find a sinner adhering to the old ways
and methods. You can't convince
him that it is folly to carry stone
in one end of the bag to balance the
corn in the other, that he does not
tighten the burden one iota to his
beast, it,. while carrying it on his
shoulder he is astride the animal.
There are men who seem to think
their wisdom o. such superlative ex-
cellence as to be superior to nature, it
matters not what or how they are
right and nature wrong etc. One gets
out of patience in talking to, or
writing about them.
Some as good cotton as I saw was
just above Bishopville on the Camden
road. AS good corn as l have seen was
that of Maj Burroughs up near Rem
bert church. That of Algie Aston,
E.. E. Rembert and a small patch of
J. l.. Jackson is next. Certain men
deserve mention for the neatness, thor
ouo nness, etc., of their farming opera
rions. D. V. Keels, W. j. Young, E.
E. Rembert, Algie Aston, Charles and
Julien Sanders, W. Nj. Lenoir, G. L.
Emanuel are models in this respect.
Our own community, the Peninsula
and vicinity, has been visited with the
superabundant rains, some hail, not
enough to hurt; in consequence grass
is somewhat abundant.
The oat crop is harvested in fair
condition. Would that we had plenty
of threshers going through the coun-
try.
There was a shooting scrape on D.
V. Keels' farm Saturday night, June
II, that came near being serious. Two
negro women, one the wife, concluded
to whip a negro man, and when he did
not submit gracefully the unmarried
one concluded to 60 into the carving
business and produced for tLis purpose
pig sharp knife.
When she was about to begin the
buck whipped out pistol and began
to shoot. The carver loosed his col
lar and with the wife fed, not before,
however, the latter received a flesh
wound in the neck.
The health of our community is
good. There is plenty of typhoid fever
in the sandhills around New Hope
Church, some serious cases.

Congress for Another Term.

The card of Hon. A. F. Lever, an
nouncine that he will be a candidate
in the Democratic primary for the
nomination to succeed himself as the
Representative in Congress of the Sew
enth District, appears today. Mr..
Lever will have no opposition for the
nomination, which is the highest
compliment that the Democrats of
this district could pay him. It shows
that his strength is so great with the
voters Of his district that those who
have Congressional ambitions realize
that opposition would be fruitless.

the busil1ess-like and prompt atten-
tion he has given to all matters per-
tanning to the interest of this district as
q whole. or of any city, town, precinct
or person has met with the unquali-

Collection for Charity.

Some weeks ago, at the suggestion

aid to buy a brace for young man at
the cotton mill Curvature Of the
spine was fast producing permanent
paralysis. This only promise OF relief
be was unable to secure. 1t was or
dered and is now in use.
The estimated cost was fom $50 to
$40. I stopped as soon as felt safely
past the latter. $42 81. from hum
dred and six contributions appeared
as result. This I deposited with the
Cashier of the Bank of Sumter.
The cost proved to be only s22. so,
thus leaving a balance of 1904 This

of the Associated Charities, believing
it would be approved by the contrib
utors.
Let me say in conclusion, that the
task was made easy by the courtesy
and liberality manifested almost with
out exception, I record my apprecia-
tion.
I would also express thanks in be-
half of those benefited. The Sumter
people have attained high level in
such matters. May it never be low
cred. Such a spirit and practice is
never without it's reward.

The political situation in the coun-
ty and State seems to be without en-
ergy. We must get up few scraps
like Evans and Mobley had in Colum-
bia the other day. so as to put some
life in the campaign.
The spirit of lawlessness in this day
and time is feast Of fat things for
the lawyers. Lots of them are making
money off the fuses of people.
The spirit of the Colorado union
men, if continued will be the death
knell of labor organizations in this
country. Before the war, there was
no such things as labor unions and
strikers, and the country prospered
as it never has. A good workman will
ever find work to do and get paid for
it. But of late years people have gone
money crazy, and every fellow tries to
beat some one so as to add to his pile,
for the standard of manhood and
womanhood is now measured to large
extent by the wheels they can show.
The Board Of Trustees of the South
Carolina college made no mistake in
the election of Dr.. Gordon B. Moore
to a professorship. He is scholar
learned and profound, and his sweet
Christian spirit will have 6ne effect
on the young men he teaches.
