Lowry. "He broke training, he

"He did. He drove the ball
away out to right, and three runs,
one more than we eventually
needed to win, came cantering
over the plate.
"The ball he hit bounded far
over the right fielder's head and
disappeared in heap of rubbish.
When the visiting right fielder
had found it the ball had buried
itself in an old wax bean can and
could not be extracted.

ALLEGED XI)N>PPER ARRESTED
Yonng mAh in Spartanbura Accused
of Holding Young Cousin in a Cave

Spartanburg, S. c., October 4.
-Special: Charged with kidnap-
ping Joe Chumley, his cousin,
frank Chumley. son of well-to-
DO farmer, living near Woodruff.
this county, was arrested and
bound over to the Court of Cen
eral Sessions. The alleged kid
mapping occurred last Thursday
while Young Chamley was driving
through the country in a buggy
enroute to school. 1t is said that
Frank Chumley pulled the boy
from the buggy, tied him with rope, ,
and carried him to a cave which
mad been dug out in a deep gull
ley, and then barricaded with
heavy boards, where Joe was held
prisoner day and night. 1t is
said that a grave had been dug in
the cave and when pointed ont to
the boy he was told he was going
to be buried there. Some time
during Friday young Chumley
was taken out for his last walk. so
the story goes, and while he was
taking what he thought was his
last exercise, the boy made his
escape, and reached home in
safety. He told his story to his
father, which resulted in a war
rant being sworn out for Frank
Chumley. 1t is said that others
are implicated in the charge.
The absence of Chumley from
his home caused his parents and
and friends great concern.
Searching parties were organized
and the woods were searched with
out success. 1t is rumored that
sensational features may develop
in connection with the kidnapping
for it is said that there has been
i'll feeling among members of the
Chumley family for some time
about some cotton and a cotton
gin.

On large storage works Innings Of
cement, concrete or asphaltum may be
employed without the expense being
prohibitive. But on lateral bitches
and small storage basins simpler and

be carried out BY farmers or unskilled
laborers, must be found. Muddy wa

reservoirs seepage losses are likely to
De permanent and some sort OF lining
TO stop this becomes an important mat
ter.
Southern California affords one of
the great fields for studying irriga-
don. B. A. Etcheverry Of the State
university, tracing the progress there,
says that canals were first paved with
river powders or cobblestones. This
paving was then improved upon by
paving and cementing. Plastering with
cement mortar from one-half to one
inch thick and the use of concrete for
Innings from three to six inches thick
were introduced afterward The use
OF steel or cement pipes has become
much In favor in southern California
Where the volume OF water to distrib-
ute Is not large they have to great
extent replaced the smaller open ditch.
The advantage Of lining a canal Is
not alone the decrease In seepage 9th
er factors should be considered. First
the prevention Of growth Of vegetation
Is an important item and is quite an
expense when In most cases the ditch
or lateral must be cleaned out several
times during an Irrigation season; Sec
ond, the resistance to securing, on
which depends the velocity which the
water can be given, and. third, the
prevention Of squirrels and gophers
from burrowing into the banks and
bottoms Of bitches
The cement mortar lining Is reported
by Professor Etcheverry to be proba-
bly, used more extensively in southern
California than all the other meth.

DDS combined. 1t has proved very
efficient, and its cost Is small. The
Jurupa canal, in the vicinity of River
side. as shown In the cut, is lined In
this manner, the lining, however, being
only one-quarter to one-half inch thick.
Thin plaster lining Is subject to rup-
ture from burrowing animals and
from storm water washing out some
Of the back filing. It Is probable that
this kind Of lining would not resist the
climate Of a country subject to very
cold weather.
Heavy road oil has been experiment.
ed with and found very effective In
preventing growth Of aquatic plants.
Pudding with clay Is said to be q
good preventive Of seepage, but 1t does

ping than amy other man that
ever sailed a privateer.
The name of Sumter, that of
his first vessel, was as familiar to
the North perhaps as was that of
the famous privateer, the Bonne
Homme Richard, commanded bv
John Paul Jones, of Revolutionary
memory. but most readers proba-
bly, the name of Sumter was given
p to the Semmes vessel in recopni-
of Fort Sumter, in Charleston, S.
c., liarbor, the first United States
stronghold to fall into the Confed-
crates. The name of Sumter,
however, is that of a Revolution
ary hero, who, with Francis Mar
ion, may be named as the most
distinguished sons of South Caro-
lima in that struggle. In the
North the name of the frst-named
hero is comparatively an unfamil-
lar one, while the name of Marion
has been given to counties, cities
p and towns in many States, North
as we'll as South.
Thomas Sumter called 'the
Carolina Game Cock" as Francis
Marion was called the Carolina
Swamp Fox" was born in South
Carolina in 1884 and died June /,
1882, having lived to the extreme
age of 98th years, outliving by
ten years stout old Brig Gen John
Stark, of New Hampshire, who
died May s, 1922, at the age of
"a years. Stark won great honor
by defeating Baum, who COM
manded a force of Hessians, on
August 16, 1777, at Bennington
and afterward defeating force
under Breyman, victories which
led to the surrender of Burgoyne
at Saratoga, which in turn brouph
France to the aid of the colonies
as an ally.
Thomas, Sumter, after the cap
ture of Charleston, S. c., by the
British in 1880, took the field as a
brlgadier general at the head of a
body of light horse and immedi
ately became one of the most ac-
tive and able partisan leaders of
the South. His bravery, indur-
ance and unvarying cheerfulness
and determination caused him to
be adobe ed by his followers. The
: war, over, political honors awaited
him. He was repeatedly elected
at Congress was minister to Brazil
and served several terms in the
United States Senate. And this
was the hero whose name was
given to the fort in Charleston
harbor, where the flag was fired
upon, rousing the North to action,
and this the name of the COM
merce destroyer commanded by
the Confederate admiral whom the
South remembered yesterday.
