4 GREAT COTTON DAY.
MORE THAN FIFTEEN HUNDRED
BALES SATURDAY.
The Record OF Big Receipts OH the
Premier Cotton Market OF State
Broken Again OH Saturday--Farm-
crS Received More Than SfO5, 600
In Cash.

Sumter has held the first place as
an interior cotton market in South
Carolina for a number Of years, and,
while other towns have occasionally
unthoughtedlY set up q claim to the
first place, such claims have always
had to be abandoned when facts and
figures respecting Sumter cotton re-
ceipts We're quoted. Sumter stands
first not only in total receipts for
the year. but first in the amount Of
cotton brought in for sale by the
farmers on any one day.
The record for "big cotton day"
receipts was made either four or FIVE
years ago when 1,463 bales were
marketed, but the record was sur
passed Saturday when between fifteen
and sixteen hundred bales were
brought in for sale. The exact
amount cannot be ascertained posi-
lively for the reason that the re-
ceipts were so great that the public
weighers were literally swamped by
the flood Of cotton and, although
they weighed until long after dark
they could not finish. They weighed,
all told, 1853 bales, and left un-
weighed on the platform about 200
bales that had been shipped in from
nearby stations by farmers, besides
at least 800 bales that were dumped
in lots, stored or carried back home
by farmers who lived near town. In
all the cotton brought here for sale
Saturday totalled not less than L.
500 bales-probably nearer 1900.
One Of the largest buyers on the
market said this morning that more
than $1O5,oO0 were paid out for the
cotton sold here Saturday. If there
Is another interior cotton market In
the State that can equal this record
now is the time to speak up.

4 KILLING SPORT.
VANDERBUILT CUP RACE AT
TENDED By SLAUGHTER.
Managers Say The Sixth Race was q
success but it Cost The Lives Of
Two and The Manning of Twenty
Others

Long Island Motor Parkway, n. Y.
October -Four killed and twenty
seriously injured, three Of them prob
ably fatally, was the price in human
life paid today for the sixth running
Of the Vanderbilt cup race, won in
electrifying fashion by Harry Grant,
driving 12O-horse power Alec.
Grant, who distinguished himself
last year by finishing first in the fifth
Vanderbilt, won todays event from
Joe Dawson, driving a Marmon, by
the narrow margin of 25 seconds.
John Aitken, in the National was on
ly a minute and six seconds behind
Dawson.
The race was the most closely c..
tested of any of the Vanderbilt cuI
races. and with the two small car
events run as unit, the Wheatley-
Hills sweepstakes and the Massa-
pequa trophy, brought out a record
number Of starters The times Of
the three first cars to finish in the
main event exceeded the best time
ever made in an American road race.
Grant, by covering 278OS miles Of
the course in 4 hours, IL minutes, So
seconds, equivalent to an average Of
65 1-5 miles an hour, established a
new American record
But as brilliant as was the per-
formance Of the three winners and
as thrilling as the race itself, the
horror caused by the wholesale
manning and killing which attended
1t cast such deep shadow over spec
tators, participants and the manage
ment, that the crowd dispersed under
pail Of sorrow.
Yet Notwithstanding the list of
casualties, it was announced tonight
that the Grand Prize race over the
same course will positively be held
on Saturday, October Is. Fifteen
cars have already been entered for
the event and preparations are to
begin at once to have the track in
readiness.

WHEN BATTING sLUMPs COME.
Sometimes the Rest Cure Needed
Others Need More Practise.

When an individual player or almost
an entire team, or a very important
squadron OF an entire team, fails to bat
within $50 points of his or its real
form for a period of a month or two
the ca tastropf1e is known to players and
followers of the game as mot hittin'."
1t means that the team or a part of
that team. or at least an important
individual in<eger of the team, is hit
ting SO far below its average that its
deficiency is marked and hurtfm to
the team
How can the slump of the great hit
tiers and the forward wave of the poor
hitter be explained? Not in any log
ical way.

Without doubt in the early season.
when a player mas not had a great deal
of work lit is reasonable to suppose
that what he needs to fortify any
weakness is practice. Especially is this
so of baseball players in the spring,
when the season is not yet a month

heads OF daisies TO the heads OF fellow

Yet it often appears that the best

Another left handler whose control Is
nearly always conspicuously good, for

not among his faults. while Matt Kill

1t must be conceded, however. that
the very best control is shown by the
