Dalzell, S. c.. May 2o.-News is
scarce here. We all have plenty to
Go lust now since the heavy rains.
Most of US who thought we had stands
of cotton found out we did not. All
on the poorest sandy places was kill
ed by the hail and sand, until we have
nof a half stand left, so replantins
and planting over has been going on
at a rapid rate for the last week. The
prospects for crop are very gloomy
now. There is more corn planted
around here, we guess, than ever be-
fore.
Some of US are learning a very dear
lesson. but hope it is for our good, for
we certainly can't afford to plant cot
and run the risk Of buying corn, oats
and hay, when we can raise them
at home so easily.

HIGH SCHOOL Defeated.

Burgess Pitched One Bit Game, But
Lost-Sumter Boys Injured.
The ball team of the Sumter High
School was defeated Friday in Sum-
| merton by the local High School team
score 5 to 8.
It was a beautiful game, and had
| not misfortune overtaken the little
Game Cocks the victory would have
rested with them. At the end Of the
fifth inning the score was to 2 in
favor of Sumter, and then it was that
Pitcher James Of the Summerton
team got in some very peculiar work.
The Sumter boys state that he threw
the ball deliberately at the batters,
hitting Bradford on the head and re-
firing him from the game.
Jones, catcher, was hit by ball
while behind the bat; he was danger
ously hurt, and forced to leave the
game. The locals refused to allow
Wilds to be substituted, so the game
was ended in the seventh.
The Sumter boys must have work
ed hard Burgess went into the
game with a sore finger, but notwith-
standing this, he yielded but one hit,
and the team made only one error
behind him.
The little Game Cocks pulled off
two neat double plays, and Arthur
Haynsworth cracked out a two-bag-
ger, the best hit made in the game.

seven weeks after the first day Of
Passover.

festival at the conclusion of the seven
harvest weeks. But in later times
it was rendered the Feast OF the First
Fruit of Israels Spiritual Life, be-
cause it commemorated the day OF
the giving OF the law on Mount Sinai,
which took place about that time.
Thus PentAcost, or the fitch day

But while | was back there l was

While in the west my first trip
made a trip to the White Bluffs coun-
try. At that time l could see great
| things for the Columbia river val
ley, but l thought it was too far in
the future for a man of my years. At
that time | could have had the pres
ent site of White Bluffs as a home
stead, but the time is now at hand for
White Bluffs to bloom into a fine
city of a high class as it is surround
ed by as fine body of land as there
is in the northwest The land is
strictly adapted to all kinds of pro-
ducts, especially l think little the
finest for all kinds of fruits-better
than anything I have ever seen, and
have been close observer of the
different fruit sections and the con-
ditions suitable to fruits.
This is the largest body of fine
irrigable land in the northwest, and

FOR CHRISTMAS MAIL
NOW PACKAGES SHOULD Be
PREPARED FOR POSTOFFICE
Mail is Increasing and Extra Clerks
Will BE Put On at the
Postoffice.

Postmaster w. L. Lemon will
probably have additional clerks to
assist in caring for the rush of Holt
day mails through the North Yaki-
ma postoffice. The department is
able thus far to care for the incom-
ing mail with facility. but so large
are the outgoing mails that it is only
with difficulty they can be made up
in time to catch the trains. The
volume of business which is passin :
through the registry department is
reported to be large.
To avoid mishap IN the delivery OF
Christmas packages through the
mails and facilitate the work of the
clerks in caring for the offerings of
Christmas parcels, the following sug-
gestions are made for the general
public:
"All Christmas packages should
be wrapped in the heaviest wrap
ping paper. and tied securely with
stout cord. Pasteboard boxes should
never be used in sending Christmas
gifts through the mails, as the weight
of other mail is very liable to crush
them and the contents are in con-
slant danger of breakage or ruin.
THE name of the individual for
whom the package is intended should
always be placed in the lower right
hand corner, and the name of the
sender in the upper left hand corner
This rule should always be followed,
for if the order is reversed the clerk
who handles the mail invariably
looks in the lower right hand cor
ner for the name of the addressee,
and if the name of the sender ID
there instead the package will, in
nine cases out of ten, be sent back
TO the consingor, and vexatious de-
lay result
"All writing on the Christmas
package should be in ink. Pencil
marks smear easily and are often
times obliterated.
"Senders of Christmas package.
should always be sure their pack
ages are correctly weighed and bea
the proper amount of postage at thu
proper rate insufficient postage
will often cause delay in delivery ant
embarrassment on the part Of tn
consignee, who will be called upol
to pay the extra postage before be
ing delivered the consigned pack
age
"All articles Of value sent through
the mails should be registered. TIL
government does not insure REIN
bursement in case the contents ar
lost, but will pay the consignor So
on the contents of any registere
package lost. provided it is scale
and sent at first-class rates Regis
