MIR Grffiths made known his
plans for the immediate erection
of six tall steel towers at the
many high points Of ian1 in Villas
and adjoining counties. They
will be built on concrete bases
ami used as lookout stations for
the discovery of fires at dry sea
sons. A ranger at the top of the
tower can scan the landscape for
twenty miles around and bv use
of telephone, which will be put
in each tower, can notify the
nearest ranger when he detects
smoke in any part of the woods.
This method of prevention has
been tried in Maine with marked
efficiency, and it's success in Villas
county seems assured, although
entirely new in this part OF the

plead guilty to all Of the charges ca
cept that Of carrying the weapon,

The Cotton Report.

The department of agriculture's
August report on cotton is a confes-
sion that the July report was mis-
leading. Senator Smiths charge
against the departments methods is
sustained by the department itself.
He asserted that in June, or even
in July, it cannot be forecasted with
any degree OF accuracy what the
production will be; that a July con-
dition is not a proper basis for pre-
diction. Any one who knows any,
thing about cotton at all knows that
he is right, and yet the cotton which
has so far come to market has been
sold at a price fixed on the July re-
port, and the market will not this
season recover from the forecast of
a bumper, fourteen million bale crop.
The condition" on July 25th was
S9.1 per cent and on that as a basis
the forecast Of the tremendous YIELD
was made. The condition" on Aug
ust 25th was 1872 per cent, and on
made that the yield will be less than
thirteen million bales. But the crop.
is not Yet made; unfavorabIe sea-
sons for its maturing and harvesting
may yet reduce the yield. granting
that the present report is accurate,
which is to be doubted.
After the protests Of Senator Smith.
the department has ceased to "esti-
mate" the yield; the forecasts given
are put out as unofficial" but they
were "reckoned by the official meth
cd" heretofore used by the depart
ment Any child familiar with arith-
meic can use the official method" If
he knows the acreage and the condi-
ton. AS long as the department
makes its condition reports. the fore
cast of yield is unimportant; for that
can be calculated by the reporters as
we'll as the department clerks. The
whole system is wrong, in principle.

BOYS LEAVE FOR DAVIDSON.
Number OF Recent Graduates of High
School Go to North Carolina Col
lcgc.

Quite number Of the boys recent
~ graduated from the city high
school left this morning for Davidson
college where they will enter the
freshman class. Davidson mas al
ways been popular college for Sum-
ter boys, but this year Sumter will
have larger contingent OF students
at 1t than at any other college, State
colleges not excepted.
One reason Davidson Is getting such
large number Of students this year
is because it is a Presbyterian insti-
tuition and most Of the boys who
graduated from the city high school
last spring were Of Presbyterian par
entage and they wanted to stick to-
gether during their college course as
they had done during their graded
and high school days.
Those who left this morning for
Davidson We're: Earl Rowland, AL
fred Scarborough, Pierson Dick,
Irvine Shaw, Wilfred Shaw and
Shepard Nash. William Winn is an
old student who returned this morn
ing. Other old students left several
days ago.

Burning Out Pine Stumps.

While over at the Institute" held
at Abbeville, Alabama, We got hold
of a practical method of burning out
pine stumps, which will be of inter-
est to many Of our readers in the
piney woods sections. This plan was
originated by a man in Mississippi, and
given to us by Mr.. j. c. Phelps dis
trict agent for the Demonstration
Work of Alabama. You first take a
posthole digger, and dig a hole down
beside the stump and along down be-
side the tap-root, some IS or 20 in
ches deep. You must do this when
the ground is wet or moist Have a
Joint of stove pipe and set it over the
hole, then by moulding the dirt
around the stump, you can make the
ilue almost like a chimney You can
leave this pipe or remove, as you
like. and thus fix another with the
same joints of pipe. Now, take a
crowbar and make hole, at an angle
OF 10 degrees, going down to the bot
tom Of this flue. This is your air
hole or draft hue. When you get
ready to start your fire, YOU take q
handful Of fat lghtwood chips. drop
them or place them in bottom Of your
fue, and light one and put down 10
start the fire. Do not put enough to
good chips should be sufficient to ig-
mite the tap-root
You see the principle that the air
will rush down the small hole made
with the crOw-bar. and cause a
strong draft up the fuc and make the
fire burn fiercely, and will soon burn
the tap-root through. This plan is
better than the Anger plan. A gen
ueman who has tried it says he
iired from three to four stumps an
hour and he was highly pleased with
it. Some may wonder why YOU wish
to mound the dirt. Those who have
tried it find this necessary both to in
crease the draft and also because of
the many little holes. which will be
around the stump for the smoke 20
escape through instead OF going up
the tlue The main thing is to secure
a strong and direct draft upon the
lap-root Of your stump some IS
inches below the surface, so when IT
burns off il Will hc out of the way
of your plow for all time 90 come

GOTCH DEFEATS HACK
Aiiici'"h wrestler Easily Won
worlds Championship Over Rus
sian.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-The centre Of
the wrestling world was more than
ever fortified at Humboldt. Iowa. the
home Of Frank A. Gotch. todav
II oreover Edw. Smith, the referee
who proclaimed the worlds cham
pions victory over George Hacken-
schmidt declared that for the next
ten years there would be no Shift of
the wrestling capital unless Gotch
should choose to change his place of
residence
The Russian lions showing was
pitiful. The crowd decereed that he
mad quit but the defeated chal-
lenger, through copious tears, aver
red that he entered the arena with a
"rehcheo Knee, on which Gotch
worked and speedily reduced him to
state of comparative helpfulness.
The foreigners nerves were on
edge. He spent a sleepless night and
was pale when he crawled through
the ropes. DR.. j. ]. Davis who ex-
amined both wrestlers before thew
went to the mat, declared that though
there might be something wrong with
Hackenschmidt's knee 1t was not evil
dent during the examination.
While it took Gotch IA minutes and
lS seconds to gain the first fall, the
second fall required only minutes
and 80 seconds. This, Hacken-
schmidts friends assert, proved that
his knee was in bad condition.
Referee Smith is authority for the
statement that when Gotch secured
the fatal toe lock which won the
match Hack cried out: Don't burt
my toe and a second later, Don't
break my leg" and fell with his
shoulders to the mat frothing at the
mouth
The first fall resulted from a re-
verse body hold, after the men had
struggled 14:1S 1-2. That terrible
toe nOld Tor which GOtch is famous
was responsible for the second fall.
He clamped it on the left foot Of
Hack after the second fall had gone
5:32 1-5 Scarcely had he obtained
the grip before Hack acknowledged
defeat.
Hacks own statement that it was
the easiest worlds championship ever
won tells the story Of the bout almost
as we'll as 1t could be told. Gotch
was never in serious difficulty at any
time during the match. Neither was
he forced to extend himself to win

REPAIRS At THE SEASHORE
Topuiar Resort to BE Even More At

Charleston, Sept 5.-Instead Of the
big motorcycle races at the Isle of

ousy at work repairing DAMAGES
wrought by the storm. Manager
Hottile IS not at all discouraged bv
the blow which this popular resort
sustained a week ago, although II
d'd knock his plans for an elaborate
Labor Day celebration into a cooked
nat, and put an abrupt termination
10 one Of the best seasons the Isle of
Palms ever had.
According to Manager Sottile
every cloud has a silver lining and
he points in a good humored way 10
the leveling Of the sandhills which
the high tides accomplished for him.
saving him large amount of mon
ey in doing by a few hours work
what he expected would take him a
good part Of the winter.
The dancing pavilion and the 9TH
er buildings at the Isle Of Palms stood
on their foundations solidly during
the big blow. Water coming into the
buildings somewhat, from below and
above, naturally damaged the con-
tents to a considerable extent, and
the hotel building lost window glass
es and part of the north l. roof.
but on the whole the amusement re-
sort will be able to recover readily
from the high winds and tide.
Next season the Isle of Palms will
be in fine shape for a banner season.
There are five or six conventions
scheduled for the beach in the mid
season, and Manager Sottile is going
to land as many more before next
June, if energetic work can accom-
plish this. He says that the little
blow Of last week should not hold
the progress of the resort back a.
minute.
