Flight years ago, while living with the family in Boston, had a violent quarrel with father. It was about a girl that I wished to marry. The re- suit of the quarrel was that I walked out of the house and went abroad. Four years ago I incidentally heard that mother was dead and that father had moved to this city"

Mrs. Joe Lernanski. who with
her husband lives on the Fred
Roewe place in Hickory Grove, had
an unpleasant, not to say dangerous
experience last Friday. She was
engaged in sweeping off the cistern,
when the platform broke and she
fell through into the cistern. She
called for help, but nobody was at
home, her husband having gone to
town, and the hired man being
absent also. It was about one
o'clock when it happened, and she
remained in the cistern till nearly
six o'clock, when her husband re-
turned and rescued her. She had
hung onto the pipe all that time,
for there was enough water in the
cistern for her to be drowned in,
had she released her hold. It was
certainly terrible experience,
which she will never forget. Her
little fonr months old baby was
alone in the house all afternoon.
Mrs. Lemonski is to be congratulate
ed on her grit and that baby must
have had a much drier time of it.

A good suggestion comes from our
fellow townsman, Chauncey L. Giles.
Recently the unfeeling burglar has in
vaded number of our homes. The
hour of his unfriendly calls was some
time between "the dead vast and mid
die of the night, when church yards
yawn and graves give up their dead"
or, as Barnes put it ''the wee sma' hours
ayant the twal.'
!. Anyhow, Citizen Giles thinks it would
be a good idea for Fort Lee to allow
the one policeman We have to spend his
time here between ten and five a. M,
instead of leaving us at midnight as now.
If men will be mean enough to burgle,
it looks to reason that the best hour to
nab an intruder would be after mid
night What say you, Mr.. Mayor of
Fort Lee?

thrown balls, two of which caught him
in the same spot. He would have made
a home run had he hit the ball. Paon-
essa, in left, got left on most that came
his way, and the crowd enjoyed his run

John, at short, was full of ginger, albeit
he made a few wide throws. He had
the honor of scoring one of the runs for
his side.
The crowd was full of enjoyment at
the game, and had much fun at the ex-
pense of the Married Men who got done
up in fine shape. The, article of ball put
up by their opponents, however, was too
much for them, and they retired amid
the condolences of everybody. There

er practices that have brought base
ball into disrepute will not be toler-
ated in the State League.
This is all that the people of Sum-
ter. who are interested in baseball as
a sport, could ask, and there should
be no hesitancy on their part in ex-
tending the support and cooperation
that is needed to insure the present
success and permanency Of the local
association. No one is asked for
much, and no one will find it hard
ship to assist in making the Sumter
team the best in the league. It is the
purpose of the promoters Of the asso-
citation to secure for Sumter tho best
possible team that can be maintained
within the salary limit, and with Guy
Gunter in charge Of this part Of the
programme, there is no doubt about
the result. Sumter is going in to
win from the first game and there
will be no let up in the fight for the
pennant until the season closes.
The cost will be inconsiderable in
comparison with the sport afforded,
and it should be a matter of town
pride to give the team all the support
NEEDED at the outset. After the sea-
son opens and things get warmed up
tt ere will be no more trouble. Of
course Sumter is in the State League
to stay on the guarantee Of Messrs.
Booth, Hardy, Bultman, Blanding
and a few others, but they should
have the financial support and hear
ty cooperation of all other business
men of the city, The team that will
wear Sumter's uniform will represent
the town and it should have the
backing OF the town, therefore when
Mr.. Booth calls on you, do your part
cheerfully and literally.

the woods look black. Gardens went
down, too. So there is very little
left. Today heavy clothing is COM
Portable.
Corn planting has been going on all
the-week. The farmers would not
risk the frost bitten corn to come out,
SO ploughed it up and planted over.
Indications are that all the early
planted cotton is dead. Seed, both
corn and cotton. is very scarce, and
hard to get. Oats show some i'm
provement, but not enough to war
rant a full crop. All this is on the
dark side. The bright will come later

REMBERTS.

Rembert, April 21.-For the benefit
Of the farmers I will say so many
complaints were made to the Uni
ted States department Of agriculture
at Washington Of the inferior quail
ty of COW peas, the department sent
a request to each Of their correspond
ents throughout the country asking
them to send as much as one pint Of
their COW pea seed made on their
farms last year, and they would re-
port the result of the test found to
germinate. A few days ago your cor
respondent received from Mr.. E.
Brown, botanist in charge Of the seed
laboratory, Washington, a report stat
ing that only 62 per cent would ger
inmate, and in sowing the seed this
year the farmers must take into con-
sideration the per cent Of germina-
ton, more seed being used proper
tionately, as the quality throughout
the entire pea belt is very poor. l
am sorry to say very few farmers IN
this section made any pea seed last
year, but those who have any hope
will be guided by this report.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure of very interesting conversation
a few days since with a very intelli-
gent botanist. He informed me that
throughout the entire country we
have the greatest number Of pine
blossoms we have had in 20 years,
which means that during the fall Of
1908 there will be the heaviest pine
mast we have had in 20 years.
So the farmers who are so fortunate
as to have forest pastures for their
hogs will next year reap great har-
vest.
The farmers of this community are
very despondent owing to the critical
condition Of their crops at this stage,
caused by the continual cold weather,
and while 1 am writing cold east
rain is falling, which may again pre-
cipitate another freeze and cause all
the cotton to be destroyed.
Very few planters in this section
saved only enough seed to Plant one
time, and very nearly all the crops
here are in the ground, and should a
freeze come now we all would be i'll 2
deploraple condition. 1 trust, low
ever, it may soon turn warm, and
gladden. the hearts Of many @no are
locking so sad tcoay.
There will be no services at Nc
Leods Church next Sunday, as Rev.
D. A. Lewis will attend the district
conference.
