Lever Praised.

The city of Sumter was in full glory
last week. 1t was certainly red let
ter week. The Travellers Protective
Association held it's annual conven-
ton there and it was entertained most
handsomely, and on last Friday Hon.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, DR.. B. T. Galloway, chief of the
bureau of plant industry; Congress
man Scott of Kansas, chairman of the
agricultural committee, and Congress
man Lever, were in attendance on the
farmers convention. These distin-
guished visitors were also entertained
BY the city. The chamber of COM
merce had charge Of all the arrange
ments, and we'll did they handle the
great task. There was an immense
crowd, and all forms of entertain
ment was provided, horse racing,
baseball, automobile riding, speec e.,
and banquets. The details of this
immense affair has been fully pub
lished in the daily newspapers. II
was a great day, and only demon
strated what a pull together spirit can
accomplish. The visit Of a cabinet
officer, and members of congress to a
city means a great deal. Congress-
man Lever is a member of the CON-
mittee on agriculture, and he is con-
stantly seeking to secure aid from the
government in the interest of the
farmer. twas through his influence
these distinguished gentlemen attend
ed the farmers meeting, which was
the grandest ever held in the State,
and it is Our opinion, CongrcsSma
Lever will from this occasion have a
ready listener in Secretary Wilson,
and Chairman Scott, whenever he
wants an appropriation in the inter-
est of agriculture. The large attend
ance at the farmers meeting gave
each of the many speakers most at
tentive hearing, and when the visit
ors from Washington came to the
front regular ol d time Southern ova-
ton was extended to each and all of
them, especially was this noticeable
when that distinguished Iowan, Sec
retary Wilson, was introduced, the
audience rose, cheered, waved hand
kerchiefs and hats for several min
utes, and the cordial demonstration
was not lost upon the speaker. He
was visibly affected by it.
The audience also rendered Con-
gresham Lever grand ovation. In
him they realize and appreciate that
they have sincere representative
and hard worker, man who does not
waste the peoples time in playing
politics in congress, but is always do
ing something in the interests of his
constituency, that they should show
their appreciation in the presence of
the gentlemen from Washington was
very proper.-Manning Times.

"Unlcaied" Gun Gets il its
Work.

While Johnny, - years. and Hub
seven years, the sons of Mr.. T. NJ.
Turner, of Claremont, were out play,
ing at hunting last week with all
empty gun, the elder brother sug-
gested that Hub climb into tree and
he would shoot him out like crow"
The younger boy fell into the spirit
of the suggestion and climbed the
tree. When Johnny snapped the gun,
which he thought was not loaded, it
went off and the load of shot literally
tore the little fellows heart out and
he tumbled to the ground dead.

While taking a load of hogs to
Kamiah Monday morning Eddie
Beaulieu and his father met with an
accident on the grade. They we're
down to the S switchback and the
sled, which was running 10 the upper
side of the road, struck an icy slant
ing place and slid TO the lower side
with such force that If upset and
went off the grade. The force
started to take the team with the
sled but the driver spoke to the
leaders and they sprang into their
collars and held the wheelers which
were partly of the grade. The
pull broke the horses loose from the
sled which rolled down the mountain
side some little distance before it
lodged against tree. Strange to
say the horses and especially the
hogs escaped injury and the reach
was all that was broken about the
sled. Mr. Besulieu injured one of
bis arms. 1t was one that had been
broken and vas not entirely we'll.
They were delayed considerable and
