An interior market that receives

The State farms in Sumter and

The move to submit the differences
of Japan and Russia over the peace
terms to The Hague arbitration
looks like an effort of other nations
to interfere with the Russo-Japan-
ese war and to practically die
tate terms as was done in the China

probably too wise and too strong to
submit to such dietation a second
time, and they will get what they de-
mand and are able to take from Rus
sia. Russia and Japan should be left
to settle their differences themselves.
Russia would not listen to sugges-
tons of a peaceful adjustment of the
dispute before the war began, and
now that Japan has her whipped to
a standstill the other powers should
keep hands off as Russia demanded
they should at the outset.

THE CLOSEST GAME OF sEAso,
From the Daily Item Aug. 10.

Sumter dropped the last game that
will be played with Camden this year,
when she had it practically won. 1t
seemed as if every man on the Cam
| den team had a horseshoe around bis
neck, for hard, long drives and fly
balls that came down moistured from
their contact with the clouds found
pocket waiting to receive it.
Holland, James and Martin we're
| each robbed of probable two base hits
by the Camden felders being out Of
position.
The official score will not give an
accurate idea of the manner in which
the two pitchers performed. While
Dwyer yielded more hits than Flowers
he kept them we'll scattered, and had
it not been for Martins wild throw
| when Weatherley was on third, Cam
| den would never have crossed the rub
ber. But that was not the end of the
trouble for the Sumter boys; the bases
we're filled when there were two op-
portunities to retire Camden, and then
Dwyer walked batter, thus giving
the visitors the lead by score OF 2
| to l.
A very close decision by Umpire Mc-
Kagen gave Camden another score,
which proved to be the winning one.
With Mabry on third, Flowers hlt to
righ field, Lawrence felded the ball
like tightening throwing home 20 catch
the runner; the tb1ow Was g. little
wild, and James with wonderful dis
cretion threw to second and caught
Flowers, who was trying to convert
his single into two bagger, just as
Mabry was crossing the plate. The
decision was extremely close, and
many thought that Camden had been
retired without the score, but the
umpire decided to allow it, and so
the game was lost.
Sumter scored again in her part OF
the seventh, and it looked as if the
locals would win out or the home
stretch, when they came to the bat in
the ninth. Phelps, who had replaced
Stafford in left field on account OF the
latter's injured knee, lead off with a
hot infeid ball in which he reached
first: holland next up drove the ball
hard TO right field, and what seemed
certain hit was taken in by Mabry,
who luckily for Camden failed to play
up when a righthanded man was at
the bat. Phelps was advanced to
second on Durant's sacrifice hit, and,
when hit would have tied the score,
Lawrence popped out to Weatherley
at third, and it was all. over.
For Sumter, the work OF James was
particularly fine, aud all of the fans
are hoping that ne will return to Sum
ter next season. A more clever and
more gentlemanly bali player is seldom
seen.
holland is credited with eleven put
| outs with no errors 1t did the dopers
good to see the big fellow handle
himself on first yesterday.
Flowers pitched great game, but it
was very perceptible that be was rat
| tied on several occasins, and if it had
not been for the wonderfully fast work
of Trantham at short and Leval in
center field, both Of whom, time aid
again, cut off seemingly certain hits,
be would have had his reputation put
| to the bad.
Mabry and Durant each got two
good hits, and they played their posi-
tions we'll
As the "Old Pal' would say, the
score was "clcse enough. .

tiles indicates the attitude of Nor
mons to the Church universal. 1t
is an irreconcilable antagonism. We
are familiar with the ostracisms and
prosecutions endured by our mission
aries and teachers, but it may not be
generally known that there is state
in our Union where the freedom son
Ct America is unwelcome and hated.
A Gentle Doctor said a Salt Lake
City physician to me would outside
Of Utah's two cities, starve to death.
Here is another saying of preach
or who attended the Tabernacle and
this is what he says of the people he
saw there:
"They seemed to be repulsive in
appearance, always ready to laugh and
sheer at the Gentiles, when illusions
to them were made, and who were re
ferred to as liars, murderers and
thieves, and everything contemplate.
They were even guilty Of insulting
strangers at their services, whom they
thought were Gentiles.
"The religion they teach the wom-
on is that the birth of each child re-
leases a soul from purgatory, and
gives ii n chance Of salvation.
IAN ex-governor of the State told
u.s. that only by bringing from the
Fort which overlooks the city five
hundred soldiers and many cannon
they could be prevented from having
. parade on July third, instead of on
July fourth, as an insult to the United
States. For doing this. he received
letters written in blood, threatening
his assassination. He told us they are
the blacklist spot on the American
civilization, and that this canker of
corruption is rapidly spreading"

Reed Smoot belongs to a society

Rev. Wishard advertises Idaho by
the following:
"Our Eastern communities, with
their long established churches, Sab

have no realization of the death chill
that has fallen on these frontier

Mormonism is one of the darkest
systems of paganism on earth

Hon. Reed Smoot, a man elected by

pure as that of any preacher that ever

his name all over the United States
and attached to it from two to five
wives; you have accused him of near

THE FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY
Little Paragraphs That will Interest Every
Member of the Household


The American hens laid twenty billions
Of eggs last year.
The Kansas corn crop is valued at S75,-
100000 this year. Greatest crop in value
ever raised in the state.
A farm journal says that an inch OF
rain fall means approximately ll2 tons OF
water to each acre Of land. Sounds large
to US.
Every fine-looking farm not only adds
to its own value, but it also adds to the
value of all farms in the immediate
neighborhood.
With no less than 127 Massachusetts
village improvement societies, the farm
yards, lawns and village places in the
old Bay State should fairly shine.
The value of last years egg crop was
three millions Of dollars. All the gold
mines in the world yield little over
half as much. The South is the best
place in the United States for poultry
raising. The long summers and mild
winters make it an easy matter to KEEP
chickens in good condition.
Is it not about time that those who
write for the benefit OF the farmer!
should use words that folks can under
stand? Some of our states are turnin,
over new leaf in this respect, and tlIt
result is that bulletins are being sent ou
which the everyday farmer can read in
telligently, and from which he can ge
some good. This is right.
1t is known that dairy cow with pool
stabling and unsanitary surroundings i
not only poor producer but menace
to the health of those who use the pro
duct. Lack OF light and ventilation, fiItl
and foul odors too frequently character

kept. The milk cannot fail to becom,
