Rembert, April 81 have very lit
tie news to write this week owing to
the rush of business on the farm, but
will say all of our farmers are be-
hind with their work. Corn planting
is about completed and cotton planting
has commenced. I rode around a lit
tie last week and had the pleasure Of
meeting quite a number Of our best
farmers in Rafting Creek township,
and as this is election year thought
would get the sentiments as to who
they would prefer succeeding Hon. r.
I. Manning to the State senate, as it is
fully understood Mr.. Manning will
make the race for governor. Now the
farmers up here all feel, things being
EQUAL" they are entitled this time to
the State senator and are talking Of
bringing out Hon. A. K. Sanders Of
HaSood, and think in all probability
,e will be persuaded to make the
ace. I will say this much. Rafting

The Day is BIotted Out in All Of

THE PEOPLE ARE cRAzED With FEAR.
The Eruption of Vesuvius Grows in
Horror and DestructiveDess-T
Flow of Lava, the Fall of Ashes
and the Rain Of White Hot Stones
Makes Southern Italy Place of
Terror and Death in Most HorriG
Shape.

Naples, Italy, April 10.-From the
Mediterranean to the Adriatic the
whole southern portion Of Italy is en-
veloped in darkness ana ashes are
continually falling .-om the black sky.
Vesuvius is shrouded in vaporous
clouds of smoke and is emitting fash
es of fame and blocks OF white hot
stone, which are hurled far upwards
and then go rolling down the sides.
Signo Mattenci, the director of the
observatory, remains the sole watch
man of the eruption, noting every
change and ready to signal the slight
est sign of decrease in the flow OF lava
which appears unlikely fo- sometime.
A hurricane swept over Naples dur
ing the night King Victor Emanuel
and Queen Helene are now going
around the coast in their yacht dis
tributing money to the sufferers. Pope
Plus telegraphed $4,000 to Cardinal
Prisco at Naples which he personally
distributed among the needy.
The number Of fatalities reported
during the last few hours has increas-
ed alarmingly. Oven 500 deaths are
known to have occurred and when a
fuller story is written, if it ever is, the
number is likely to be much larger.
Great numbers of people are missing
and it is impossible in the confusion
which reigns throughout the country
to try to account for them. The in
mense number injured makes it i'm
possible to furnish medical attention
and a great many Of these will die.
The roof of the general market here

been appointed by the trustees to as
sist Mr. S. S. Leighner in the Smith
Vile High School. She arrived on Fri
day and entered upon her duties the
next day. We have only known her
for a few days, but already we find
that the pupils are all charmed with
her.. With all due respect to the
school trustees who have been faith
full in the performance Of their various
duties, it is due to mention the name
Of Mr.. Henry Strange to whom we
owe in a great measure the success
of our school. It is through his un-
tiring efforts that we now have our
present principal and assistant. 1t is
also through him that the people who
were once divided are now brought
together again and are as one mind
in building up the school. 1t takes
Just such public spirited men as this
to build up community and we need
few men like him. It is strange that
this man should be the most enthu-
s;astic in school work when he has no
children to send to school.

PISGAH.
Gardens are backward.

Pisgah, April 10.-Last week was
corn planting week and it was about
all finished. A lot Of farmers will try
the Williamson plan-some in part
and others the whole of their crop.
There is no doubt the secret Of max
ing corn is to get rid of a big stalk
and let the manure go to the ear. This
was David Dixon's plan to rails cot
ton. (You remember he was the cele-
brated Georgia planter.) He said he
raised cotton more successfully on a
small stalk than large one. I be-
Iieve he made about two bales to the
acre. He strove to make the bolls,
not the stalk:
Despite the fact that fertilizers are
more used than usual in some sections
a large quantity will be used on grain,
and not on an increased acreage Of
cotton, which will not go beyond last
year. It is a wasted argument to pre-
diet a large cotton crop this year.
there is nothing to prove it. The great
drawback in farming is a want OF la
bor. Farmers can't farm successfully
with trash labor, and that is about all
we have. Some people have planted
cotton. Unless some severe cold
comes there will be some peaches.
Mr.. J. L. Gillis is building dwell
ing house. Mr.. w. J. Dees is the con-

From the Daily Item April 5.
James E. Thompson, a colored bar
Der, was arrested this morning by
Constable Campbell on a warrant is
sued by Magistrate Hardy, charging
the prisoner with being a fugitive
from justice. Some time ago while liv-
ing in North Carolina, Thompson be-
came involved in a quarrel with a po-
lice officer, whom he shot and then
fed 70 Rrooksville, Fla, to evade pun
ishment, and took up his abode at his
brothers house. It seems that the
brother and his wife lived unhappily
together, and when Thompson deter
mined to take his departure his broth
er's wife pleaded with him to allow
her to accompany him. This he agreed
to do They made their way to Sum-
ter, and have been living here for sew
eral months as man and wife.
The brother is Of unusual intelli-
served in the capacity of assistant de-
tective for the Seaboard Air Line Rail
road Company AS soon as his broth
er left with his wife he Immediately
set to work to locate them, and has
been untiring in his energies to bring
them to justice. He travelled the en-
tire state Of Florida armed with a.
warrant charging the pair with adul-
tery, but was unable to find them. It
was by the merest accident that .he-
obtained clue that led him to be-
lieve that they were in Sumter. He
arriyedin the city this morning and he
said to Magistrate HARDY that his.
brother was one Of the first men that
ne saw after reaching town. The war
rants were issued and the parties are
now being held the county jail as,
fugitives from justice.
Both James Thompson and Ange-
line, the brothers wife, showed great
surprise when arrested. The former
was particularly uneasy and dislikes.
greatly the idea of having to return to-
Florida.

papers, by means Of which the pris-
oners can be brought within the juris-
diction of the State courts Of Florida
