commercial and agricultural distribu
ting point for the great agricultural
and cotton-growing section, it is a
wonder to many why Sumter business
men have not before realized the
benefit to this city and county of an
organization to promote the raising
of livestock. and other products.
The Chamber Of Commerce will.
no doubt, backed up by the Retail
Dealers Association, give this pro-
posed agricultural and livestock or
ganization a thorough study, and II
the Sumter county farmers and other
business men show the right inter-
cial organization will be started to
help out the promoters Of the fair.
The Sumter County Farmers
Union will be asked to cooperate
with the different committees OF the
commercial organization after Chair
man PARROT has had his committee
to look into the advisa bility Of trying
to organize the association.
President S. c. Baker, of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, whose interesting
and instructive report last Tuesday
night showed how many hundreds Of
thousand Of dollars are uselessly sent
out of this county for foodstufYs which
could be raised at home. and Of bet
ter and more wholesome quality, at
lower cost, now has the opportunity
to foster his ideas that Sumter coun-

Near Tho Truth.

A New York Judge in domestic
court seems to have put his finger on
q great domestic truth, tho under.
standing OF which would settle many
marital infelicities. He told young
couple whose troubles were aired in
his court and who sought a divorce
just because they could not get along
together. that their trouble was that
they saw their rights with too big an
eye. and that when people got mar
ried they might expect to sac
rihce their rights. there could be NO
question Of rights among married
people. but just how much they could
give up for each other. That Judge
must have had q great deal Of ex-
perience. or he 10 q philosopher ana
has learned the solemn lessons Of
life from the experiences Of other
people.-Florencs Times.

Mrs. f. j. JeffOrds Seriously and
Probably Fatally Hurt-Others in
Car jump.

Florence, Nov. 25.-Mrs. E. j. JEFF
fords. wife OF well-known Atlantic
Coast Line conductor. was very Sc
riously and probably fatally hurt by
a train at the Evans street crossing
here this morning. the train striking
an automobile In which she was driv-
ing.
Mrs Jenfords was returning from
the depot in her automobile and run
ming at lively rate Of speed. She
did not hear the train coming In from
Charleston. which crosses that busy
thoroughfare at Barrigner street
1t Is said by those who saw the
crash that the fagman was signalling
the automobile. but that the women
in the car did not see him. and they
drove on across the tracks. The
trains do not come very rapidly across
the street there, but the view is OBJ
structed by the buildings on each
side.
The auto was smashed. Mrs. JEFF
fords' sister-in-law. Miss Bertha
Lochner. Of Timmonsville. who was
In the car with her. and one Of her
little bows cried out as they saw the
train and jumped. but Mrs. Jeffords
was either too panic stricken to stop
or hal lost control OF the car. The
auto very nearly managed to get
across. but the pilot struck the rear
wheels in the centre OF the track and
threw Mrs. Jeffords out. probably
striking her head against one of the
iron posts that have been planted
there 10 keep vehicles from driving
through that part Of the right of way.
She was badly gashed about the head,
her shoulder broken and otherwise
bruised. At first the physicisns
thought she was fatally injured when
they carried her to the Ilderton
infirmary. which Is at that corner.
They have since thought. however
that the injuries are not 90 serious

PLANNING FOR 1912,
Suggestions for Organizing an Agri.

The splendid meeting Of the Cham
ber Of Commerce held last Tuesday
evening, together with the gratifying
results Of organization as evidenced
by reports of the different commit
tees, and the big success of Bargain
Day closely following the Tuesday
night meeting, have unquestionably
stirred up public spirit in Sumter.
Even some Of the "old guard"
Gamecocks who have been sitting
upon their roosts and declining to
crow or to attend meetings have been
heard to remark that they had taken
advantage of Bargain Day to dispose
Of their vinegar" stocks, the chief
ingredient used in manufacturing
'grouches' to other and less progress
sive cities and towns and had in the
meantime secured bargain day rates
on supplies of molasses, sugar, taft

discuss this matter. Secretary Smell

That the Big Four of the Ar kansas Senate will take a consider able hand in the coming campaign in an effort to retain their hold upon the state government, seems apparent by the frequent visits oi certain Senators to Little Rock Senators Toney and Holland members of the alleged combina- ton, have been in Little RocE since the close of the session, but Senators Keel and Coyington are frequent visitors to the Capitol and they usually arrive on the same day. This of course may bt a mere coincidence, but it looKs tC be something more political.

Footing q horn has become one of the accomplishments of the diff ferent departments of the state government. Rubbingnp against the departments of more advanced states, the heads of Arkansas de partments found how much could be accomplished through the issue ance of bulletins, hence the De partment of Education and that of Agriculture are now footing their horns in all sections of Arkansas. These bulletins go outside also, to tell the people of the advantages of Arkansas, and they are not without rrsult. The school bulle- tins particularly assist the schools of the state, and gives them broad CT ideas. Supt. George B. Cook has now interested the publishers of patent inside papers, and from time to time in the future, the pa pers of Arkansas carrying this character of service, will be sup piled with q page of Arkansas educational matter, demonstrating just what the schools of the state are doing.
