NEITHER COULD SCORE.
Sumter and Darlington Played a Tie
Game Friday.
Secretary Vestry.

The football teams Of the Sumter
High School and the Darlington City
Schools met in Darlington Friday,
and played one Of the hardest and
most exciting games ever put up by
high school boys in this State. The
teams were remarkably evenly
matched, and despite the desperate
efforts Of each. neither was able to
shove a man over the chalk line in
front Of the goal posts. The Dar-
lington boys surpassed the Sumter
boys in kicking, and in the success
full working Of the forward pass; but
the little Game Cocks opened up
great holes in the line of their op
ponents and sent their backs through
for long gains. Darlington was un-,
able to gain ground through Sum-
ter's line, and they were forced to
punt continually through the game.
Only once during the game did it
seem possible Tor a score 10 De Ildue'
and that was when Levy circfed the
end, and made the longest and most
spectacular run Of the game for 35
yards. He was tackled hard by g.,
Darlington man, and from then OH
there was only a constant exchange
Of the pig-skin.
All of the Game Cocks played
good, hard and consistent ball.
Beall did noticeably fine work, both
in advancing the ball and on the de-
fensive. Manning, Vickers, Green,
Collins and Brunson, besides those
already mentioned, were conspicuous
for good playing, while the rest Of
the team showed up remarkably well,
especially the line men.

RESOLUTIONS OF vEs1RY.
Rev. Henry 81. Covington Has the Es-
TEEN and Cordial Support of HIS
Congregation.

The Vestry Of the Church Of the
Holy Comforter met on the 10th Of
December at the Office Of Mark Rey-
nolds, Esq, and dopted the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, our loved and valued rec
tor, Rev. Henry II. Convington, dur
ing the course Of his ministry in this
parish, has received several invita-
tions to serve in other larger church
es, which he has hitherto declined,
And, whereas, quite recently call
was extended to Mr. Covington from
the old historic church Of st. Paurs,
in the city of Norfolk, Va, which was
presented by a distinguished commit
tee from said church,
And, whereas. our rector, after due
consideration, declared his determi-
nation to remain in the diocese Of
South Carolina, to continue his min
istrations as the rector of the parish
of the Holy Comforter,
Be it resolved, That in declining
this call to serve in this old, estab
lished church, in an attractive and
wide field Of usefulness in the Mas
ter's service, Mr.. Covington has
shown that he has subordinated self,
and has been Influenced by the high
sense Of duty.
1t is the sense of the vestry and
congregation of this parish that our
rector in rejecting upon what was
best, contemplating the work he had
accomplished here, his growing con-
gregatfon and prospective new
church, put aside all matters Of per-
sonal advancement and considered
alone the question of his duty. That
he debated with loving solicitude the
needs Of his parish, and decided to
cast his lot yet longer with US.
In this, the vestry records its warm
regard lot tteF. II. II. COFlNStOn, our
rector, who has ever had the well
fare Of his church and people nearest
his heart; and its high appreciation
and esteem for him, as a man, who,
whenever occasion required, ever
summoned the energies Of his soul
to measure up to the full standard Of
duty.
That a copy of this preamble and
resolutions be spread upon the min
ute book of the vestry, and a copy be
handed to Mr.. Covington by the sec
retary of the vestry.
Attest: M. Reynolds,
Secretary Vestry.

TENNIS, AT CAROLINA.
The Collegians Greatly Interested In
Tennis Last Week-Fine Tourna-
ment Pulled OF.

University Of South Carolina, Co
lumbia, Dec. 15.-Tennis has been
foremost in the minds Of the students
for the past ten days. This game Is
attracting more attention than any
other at the present time. The mer-
chants Of Columbia donated two
prizes to be contested for by the
members Of the various clubs Of the
university. A tournament was ar
ranged by and was under charge Of
Professors Baker and Davis. 1t was
begun on Thursday, the 9Th, and was
not concluded until Friday, the 14th.
The participants were:
Beverley, .Burney, Cooper, P, Gull
lum, Davis, B., Friedman, Green,
Hand, Hayward, Holmes, McG.,
Hughes, H., Hughes, j., Jarecky,
Jones, R., Klugh, Kohn, Lee, Lump
kin, Manning, Mills, Perrin, Poag,
Reynolds, Rich, Simpson, Werner,
Wardlaw and White.
After two days play it was seen
who were the best players. Green,
Hayward, Jones, R., Manning and
Rich showed up in fine form and were
soon in the lead. Finally the contest
narrowed down to two, Green and
Rich. After. g series Of five sets,
hotly contested and abounding in
skillful plays, Green won out by the
follo-ing scores: 1-6, 4-6, Ga, 81,
60. The first prize, a .'Pim" tennis
raquet, inscribed "Single Tennis
Championship, University Of South
Carolina, 1906" will therefore be
awarded to Mr. L. M. Green, '07,
Sumter. To Mr.. S. B. Rich, '0S, Or
angeburg, will go the second prize, a
sweater with the letters ''U. S. c. on
the front.
On Tuesday afternoon the execu-
tive committee of the University
Minstrel Club held a meeting to con-
slider the offers made by numerous
neighboring towns for reproducing
the show given here on the seventh.
After much discussion all the offers
were declined. This is cause Of
great regret to the students and
friends of the university, who desired
to have the show again presented and
who felt sure it would prove a draw
ing card wherever given.

The Lien Law.

In 1866 the lien law was enacted by
who made advances to farmers. It
was a wise law at that time and did
enabling many a man to live and ear
ry on his business, which, without it,
he could not have done. Some abuses
began to creep in and, and for years
this has gone on from bad to worse,
so after being on the Statute books for
forty years, present conditions show
that it has outlived its usefulness and
it is now an injury to the farmers. in
more ways than one. Under it every
person who rents a few acres Of land
in many cases more than can be paid
under the most favorable conditions.
This removes from the farmer proper
a large number Of hands who would
make more by working in contracts
Let US see how this renting and lien
giving system works. A negro rents
a farm and gives merchant a lien
on his crop. After a while has lien
gives out. If he cart get it increas-
ed, he goes to another merchant and
gives another first Lien. When this
is exhausted he does the like again
and so on. When the rent is paid, and
he can't pay his liens, he generally
takes a part Of the crop and leaves
the State and the merchants money
is gone Now who is benefited?
Certainly not the merchant, who was
so anxious to supply his wants that
he did not find out how he stood. The

the negro sticks regular sale is

the amount Of the debt, which pro-
ceedings will sooner or later get in

The lien law is fearfully abused by
mean men in various ways. The only
wise way is to repeal it, and stop this
abuse Of it It may be a little hard
at first, but will be the best for all
concerned in the long run. The ne

The Christian Crusaders.

"God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform" ellis
ways are indeed, "past finding out"
The very sad and serious accident
which befell Lieut.. ]. M. Jennings, Of
the Christian Crusaders, on Monday
evening, Dec. 10, which resulted in
badly fracturing his jaw, supernatu-
rally sparing his life, cannot be ac-
counted for only as an accident. He
who knows and governs all things al
lowed it to happen for a purpose
which will be known some time in the
future, or if not in time, surely, in
eternity It is most gratifying to
know that Cali thi.igs work together
for good TO them that love God"
The lieutenant had been. detailed
to attend to some important business.
He had been to one place Of business,
and was en- his way to another, on his
bicycle, going toward South Main
stree, and while turning to escape the
carriage of Mr.. w. M. Graham, who
was on his way to the depot, he was
run over by the vehicle, leaving him
in an unconscious condition. BY the
assistance Of kind friends he was ta-
ken to Durant's Drug Store, and from
thence to the hospital, where his
wounds were dressed.
While General Light and Liett.
Connolly remained with their COM
rade at the hospital awaiting the COM
pletion of the surgical operation, tEis
young man of God, very heroically
forgot himself and his wounds,
though suffering much pain, in think
ing Of their usual gospel meetings Oh
the street and in Armory Hall, and OF
the lost souls Of Sumter, and ad-
dressed Gen. Light upon paper thus:
..Go ahead and hold the meetings.
I'll be alright
Upon the information that the
lieutenant's injuries would not neces-
state his remaining longer at the hos
pital, though the doctor made him
welcome and for the further reason
that he much preferred to be at
home with his comrades, Gen. Light
ordered a carriage, and he and his
wounded officer were gracefully driven
to 322, Salem avenue, where sad
hearts and kind hands were ready to
make him as comfortable as possible,
all lifting their hearts in Thanksgiving
to God for sparing the life Of their
comrade.
The wounds under the jaw and the
fractured bone made articulation I'M
possible, and the lieutenant was
obliged to make known his wants by
writing, when signs could not be un-
derstood. One Of the first questions
ne asked after reaching the quarters,
which proved that he was oblivious to
all that transpired during the time Of
the accident was: How did it hap
