MIR. w. B. WILSON HURT.
Meets with Accident as He Is Return.
ing from Summerton.

Wednesday evening just after dark
Mr.. w. B. Wilson had his leg broken
just above the ankle when he jumped
from the motor truck on which he
was riding in order to escape a
collision with a train of box cars
which he thought were being backed
upon him.
The accident occurred as Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. T. f. White were re-
turning from Summerton and Just
after they entere| the city limits. 1t
was after dark when those on the
truck saw some box cars on the track
a few feet ahead of them. They did
not have time to stop and reverse
the engine to their truck Sd shut off
the engine and jumped. Mr.. wilson's
leg caught between the crossties on
some obstacle and his leg was brok-
on. He was carried to the Sumter
Hospital where he was given surgical
attention. Thursday he was re-
ported to be resting easier, after
spending very restless night.
1t seems that at the time that Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. White jumped from
the motor truck they supposed that
the cars, which should not have been
on the track where they were. were
backing on them and they did not
nave time TO get out Of the way by
reversing. Neither Mr.. White or the
negro on the car were hurt by
jumping.

two games to one in the series for the

The White Elephants achieved this

and his mates were swept off their
feet.
Backed up by the splendid work
OF Jack Coombs, the "iron man." who

MUCH COTTON BEING STORED,

Its Capacity.
The farmers have at last begun or
on larger scale than heretofore, to
store their cotton in the warehouse 70

this sudden squirt for storing cotton is
the result of eight cent cotton or be-
cause the farmers have at last begun
to realize that they can get better
prices for their cotton by holding it,
is hard to say. but probably the lat
ter reason has the most to do with
the fact that at present much cotton
is being stored in the warehouses.
During the month Of September
less than 500 bales of cotton were
placed in the warehouse, but since
the first Of October enough cotton has
been stored away to make the amount
new in the warehouse something
over 5000 bales and there are ap-
prOximately a thousand bales in cars
now placed on the side-tracks in the
city shipped in from nearby points
Sill! t" be unloaded and placed in
the warehouse
AS the very largest amount of cot
ton which can be placed in the ware
house is slightly over 5000 bales. it
will readily be seen that there is now
much room left and that it will not
be long before the warehouse is filed
to its utmost capacity. Besides the
amount of cotton which is being ship
ped in to be stored away in the ware
mouse. farmers from surrounding
farms are bringing in cotton on their
wagons every day and placing it in
the warehouse.
great many of the farmers who
need to do so are borrowing money on
the cotton which they have placed in
the warehouse and it is probable that
they will hold it until they can get a
better price or are obliged to sell.

the cars shipped In here could be
unloaded and weighed and the cotton
coming In on wagons weighed ut the
same time. He said that there has
been a shortage Of cars which caus-
ed a delay in shipment.
A local representative Of a buyer
stated that the trouble is simply that
there was not - sufficient labor to
handle all Of the cotton which is
coming In. He said that there was
so much cotton on the platform that
the lots got mixed and that 1t requir-
ed time for the representatives of the
big buyers to get their cotton to-
gether and marked. as II has to be,
before 1t can be shipped. This delays
shipment and helps on towards con-
gestion.
After hearing what each Of these par
ties had to say. II will be of interest
to know what the manager Of the
cotton warehouse platform ascribes
as the cause Of the congestion. and 1t
Is probable that he should know
more about the true cause OF the
trouble than anyone else. as he has
to deal with each OF the other par
ties. The manager of the platform
stated. upon being asked the cause
OF the congestion. that II is an un-
precedented cotton year. Whereas
the farmers all over the county had
been telling of a half crop of cotton,
II has turned out now that there was
more cotton raised In this county this
year than ever before. Instead Of be-
ing half crop the crop was more
than full crop. The only remedy
that he could see is for the farmers
to hold back their cotton and put It
on the market gradually.
He said that 1t was not the fault
of the weighers, for IL there were
more weighers. there was no place
for them to weigh cotton. The man.
agement of the platform had secured
the use OF the A. G.. l.. and Southern
, railroad platforms for storing cotton,
but still there was lack Of room. 1t
was not the fault Of the railroads, for
they had the cars there and could not

rather by the sergeant at arms. He

we're done in the cultured east. Then,
when favorable opportunity pre-
sented itself, he made a very neat
little speech. He, however, refrained
from venturing any suggestions, al
though, no doubt, he had many up his

"a state fair that has not for it's
purpose the education of it's visitors,
and especially that portion coming
from the farming communities, has no
legitimate reason for it's existence.
In my opinion, a state fair should be
interesting from an educational as
we'll as from an amusement stand
point. In addition to that it should
also be a place where exhibitors may
sell their prize stock, Amusement
must be figured on to make it
attractive to- severybody3S but this
feature must never, be made the prime
object or it will destroy the chief func-
ton of the fair-its, educational aim. -

this Heretofore there has been ALTO

a thriving business there. Then,
again, the fair management, in it's ad-
vertising matter, gave the amusement
