TAG TAX RECEIPTS INCREASE.
Decided Gain Over Last Years Fig
urcs is Anticipated.

Columbia, May 2S.-The fertilizer
movement. as shown by the tag tax
receipts, will aggregate S25O,OOO in
receipts at the Treasurer's office, or
about $4,000 more than last years
receipts, on the basis of 25 cents per
ton.
The tag tax received to date is
$212, 2,O5O.OS, which is s41,545.s1 more
than to the corresponding date last
year. The figures for last year to
March 29 We're s17O,5O4.12.
The total for the last fiscal wear
Q9OO in tag tax receipts was $2O2,-
741.31.
From May 2S last year to the end
of the fiscal year the receipts were,
therefore, $32.2371S.
1t is considered very probable that
this years receipts, from now until
the end of the fiscal year, will equal.
if not exceed. last years receipts for
'ile corresponding period. BY adding
last years after May receipts it will
he seen that this years receipts will
probably reach the $25O,OOO mark.
AS the tag tax is % cents per ton.
the amount turned into the Treasur-
er's Office represents nearly $50, 600
tons.
In my opinion, said today Judge
j. Fuller LvOn, who handles the fer
tllizer sales, as shown by the tag tax
is that the farmer in South Carolina
is now using more fertilizer for the
small crops, that is the grain crops,
corn and so forth. 1 have noted a.
general disposition to increase the fer
tilizer used on the early fall crops"

BASE BALL FOR SUMTER.
Amateur Team Organized Tor Games
During Summer MOnths--Thc Line
up--PrOspects of the Team.

The long felt need of a base ball
team in Sumter is about to be sup
piled by the organization Of an anna
teur team, composed entirely of col
lege players, who will furnish amuse-
ment for the local fans during the
summer months. a glance at the
lineup will be sufficient to assure the
local patrons of the game that this
team will furnish bali of giltedge type,
| and will be able to make it more than
| interesting for any amateur team in
| the State.
The prime reason for the organiza-
tion Of the team was brought about
by the receipt Of number of chal-
| langes for games from teams in near
by towns and cities. 1t seemed
shame that there was no possibility
| Of even answering these challenges,
| not to mention the inability Of having
| a team to represent the Game Cock
City on the diamond, SO a few enthu-
siasts got together for the purpose Of
| putting an aggregation of ball play
ers in the field who could hold up
Sumter's end of the line.
While the positions on the team are
open to all who wish to try-out the
present prospects indicate that these
boys will likely occupy stations in the
! lineup: Duffie, first base; Phelps, sec
ond base; w. Jones, short stop; Mon
Afghan, third base; Jones, W. and Mar
shall, catchers; Dick, Haynsworth,
outfielders; Levi, Chandler and Sand
| ers. pitchers and outfielders.
The boys mentioned above are Civ
ing their time to the same without
the hope of any compensation, and all
| they look to the public for is to put
them in playing condition by subscrib-
ing sufficient funds with which to pur-
chase uniforms, balls and other sup
plies After the team is equipped they
will look to the gate receipts for the
| necessary funds to carry the team
during the remainder of the season.
1t is asking very little of the public.
| and they should respond in such a
| manner as to insure the greatest of all
amusements, base ball. for the long
and tiresome summer afternoons.
| 1t is likely that the first games of
| importance will be played with the
Charleston collegians, a team COM
posed Of ball players Of the Citadel
and College Of Charleston teams, and
it is the expectation of the locals to
have them here during the three days
Of the firemen's tournament. Colum-
bia, Georgetown, Florence, Darling
ton, Cheraw and a number Of cities
having amateur teams will be taken
on.
| meeting Of the team will be held
this afternoon for the purpose of
electing officers and naming a board
of directors. The organization will be
perfected in a business-like manner,
and will be I imposed of gentlemen
who will warrant the public all that
is promised. 1t is hoped that with
this small beginning Sumter can look
forward to better things in the base
ball line. Watch the Game Cock
| crow!

a pious service. Who can doubt
that it was good and acceptable to
God?

LIE SENDS YOUTH
TO FOLSOM PRISON

Had Harry Raymond" nineteen
years old, told the truth about his
age to Judge Hughes, at Sacramen-
to, CAL, while on trial for. burglary
last Friday. he would today be an
inmate of the Preston reform school
with chances for a good start in
life.
Instead, because he swore he was
20 years old, Raymond" yesterday
was taken to Folsom prison to serve
1S-year sentence, and today faces
the prospect of long years of con-
finement.
Before being taken to Folsom the
boy admitted to the sheriff's depu-
ties that his true name is Eustace
Cokram and that his family reside
in Choptank, Callina county, Mary
land.
Raymond, in company with
George Collins, was arrested at Per-
kins while dynamiting safe, and

THIS is THE DAY OF RECKON.

BIG FEEDS

big Eats is the salutation that
was in force today and it took the
place of that time-honored saying.

just about the same. Today is the
day of leafs" for those who are in
a position to do so; for others it
may mean day of fasting, but
that all comes under the head of
sports.
For the past week the local mer-
chants have been preparing for
Thanksgiving. Every market in
town had supply of turkeys on
hand which were dished out at the
rate of 35 cents per. AS contrast
to former years, turkeys were plen-
tiful and the supply is believed to
have been considerably greater than
the demand
The chief regret around town is
the bemoaning that the weather re-
manned that of early autumn and
the chilliness needed for the Tom
and Jerry season failed to arrive
in time. So today's appetizers will
be something other than Tom and
Jerry, but at that there is quite n
variety to pick from.
There are many dinner parties
scheduled for this afternoon and
many an unfortunate bachelor Will
feast to his hearts content or tur-
key with cranberry sauce, maybe
side order of chicken or duck and
then all the trimmings that go with
the meal. This is a day of reckon
ing with the bachelor and if he
never eats again, he will surely get
his fill today.

Thanksgiving Days Origin

Thanksgiving day in the United
tates was first set apart by the
lymouth pilgrims, in 1921, in
acknowledgement of their first har-
est in America, and perpetuated in
lany states by an annual festival
ppointed by the governor.
George Washington wrote the
rst Thanksgiving proclamation and
t apart day in 1889 as a day of
ational thanksgiving. The custom
as not we'll established by that
It, however, for there was no ma
onai day of thanksgiving for a
pod many years after the one first
i apart by President Washington.
ne hrst that partook of that char
ter was in 1928, in commemora-
on of the peace with Great Brit
n. Some of the states took IN
ne Thanksgiving idea and carried it
At locally, but the first real
thanksgiving day, along the lines
reclaimed by Washington, as a
attonal celebration, was observed

defamation of President Lincoln
ter the battle of Gettysburg. This
az 242 years after it was first set
part by the Pilgrim fathers. AS
ie first. this was in recognition of
