Children Attending Temper

MRS. FOSTER SAYS SOME
SIZZLING WORDS IN REPLY

Dr. T. o. Cooper, member of the
Board of Education from the First
ward, and Mrs. S L. Foster. prom
inent member of the W. c. +. L.,
clashed at the meeting of the board
last evening. over a request made
by a delegation Of members of the
w. c. r. L. that the pupils in the
public schools be permitted to par
ucipate in parade and meeting of
the Temperance Union to be held at
St Pauls Church on Thursday af-
ternoon after school hours, Septem-
Der %.
Mrs Foster, who spoke for the
delegation. stated that the Temper
ance Union intended to hold a con-
vention in the churches on September
"a and 25. At a meeting held bv
them last Sunday they had decided
to ask the School Board to allow the
public school children to march
around the park. near the church
and up to the steps of st. Paul's
church. where they would be ad-
dressed by a noted speaker. of ma
tlnal prominence on temperance sub
Jects. She stated that similar re-
quests had been made to schools in
cities in the West. and that they
had made the occasion regular
holidays. However. she stated. thew
did not desire the local board to
grant holiday. but simply TO allow
the children TO participate in the af-
tair after the afternoon session
President Baynard then desired 10
know the pleasure Of the members
concerning the matter.
Il move that the request be grant
ed, said Mr. Yerger. The motion
was seconded and put to question.
Dr. Cooper then went on record az
opposing the request. on The ground
tnat IL was entirely out of the iuris-
diction of the school board TO direct
the actions Of the children after
school hours.
Il think il would be an unwise
position for the board to recommend
such thing, said the member from
the Fourth ward After school hours

atter school hours. II is a political
move. more or less. If the Socialist.
Democratic, Republican or any other
party wanted the children to parade

right to make the same request.

Much solicitude was expressed in

the result of having on the morning
previous taken by mistake a dose o.

A message from Mr.. Harold yes,

was fully conscious yesterday, but
the poisonous drug had brought about
conditions which, it was feared, might
not be successfully combatted by the

yesterday, and the effect upon bust
ness was noticeable. With hundreds
of people out of the city in attendance
upon the picnic, and the depleted
ranks not filled from other sources,
the business streets took on a rather
deserted appearance. Comparatively
few people came shopping from the
country or surrounding towns, AID
merchants generally might have taxi

done in their respective lines.

GROWERS OF
MELONS TO
TRY AGAIN
EXPECT A GOOD SEASON
Though Disappointed Badly
Last Year

1--WE are going in for another crop OF
watermelons this year, and while the
seasons thus far have not been pro-
Litious, we have a fairly good stan
and hope for better results after 4
good rain comes and brings up the
lately planted melon hills, said MIR. B.
F. Easterlin, while discussing the
melon prospect here yesterday.
In the northern section of Sumter,
around Andersonville, there are pro3-
ably twelve hundred acres planted IN
watermelons this year, and the melon
growers are hopeful of better results
than attended their efforts last sea-,
son. Easterlin Brothers have 20U
acres in melons, and there are, besides,
dozen other growers in that local
ity. This section about Andersonviha
has long been noted for melon pro-
duction, and each season from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
carloads are produced there and dis
tributed over the north and west. Buy
ers come there and, usually, purchase
the fruit on the track.
Last year bumper price was pro,
duced, and, for time, prices held up
well, the melons netting the producers
good profit. Before the season was
half over, however, there came n
slump in values and many carloads OF
fine fruit decayed in the field, as the
prices offered did not pay for the
fathering and loading While the
stand" is not satisfactory yet, it is
hoped that the seed recently planted
will come up after a good rain. Many
of the vines now being cultivated are
two feet in length. With probably l.,
200 acres in melons, the yield Should
net the farmers satisfactory returns
this season.

ViscOunt Chinda Worried

Washington, D. c., May 16.-Further
representations from the Japanese
government in support of its protest
against the California land legislation
were forecasted today when Viscount
Chinda, after being informally notified
of Governor Johnson's intention to
sign the land bill, called twice at the
state department to inquire when the
governor would act.
After the ambassadors first visit,
Acting Secretary Moore went to the
whit house and spent half an hour dis
cussing the situation with President
Wilson. 1t is understood, however,
that Mr.. Moore was able to throw but
little light upon Governor Johnson s
intentions when he saw the ambasso-
dor later.
Viscount Chinda's calls gave rise TO
the impression in official circles that
Japan is not inclined to delay pushing
her protest and that another formal
communication will be forthcoming as
soon as the California bill actually is
signed.
