THE WEATHER AND MARKET.
ELEMENTS WILL PLAY AN IN.
PORTANT PART.
Planting is Rapidly Coming To a Close
and Rain With Warmth is Need.
ed.

New Orleans. April 20.-Weather
conditions over the belt and the strug-
gle over the May position will be the
most important influences in the cot
ton market this week, unless some
very strong political developments
come to light.
The crop is now I'm it's first critical
stage. Planting is rapidly coming to
a close, seed is terminating and in the
earlier parts OF the cotton region
chopping out is progressing fast.
What is needed to bring the entire
crops up to a good stand is bright,
warm weather, with moderate show
ers at intervals of several days.
Such condition would weigh against
the price Of cotton. On the other
hand, the lack of rain in those sec
tions where the ground is too dry for
seed to germinate, cold weather or
too much rain would encourage the
bull side
The struggle for the control Of the
May position in the markets on this
side of the water may cause seemingly
illogical price movements this week.
If the weather does not show much
change, one way or the other, 1t is
likely that the May position may as
sumo much importance, especially as
it is tending to make spot owners in
the South firmer than, ever in their
views regarding prices. In this con-
nection it is probable that any sensa-
tional bulges in old crops will be met
by sales from spot owners in the
South, who will seize favorable op-
portunities to hedge or to sell con-
tracts with the view Of rendering their
holdings.
The market promises more activity
and more decisive opportunities dur
ing. the week. 1t is likely that
this week will see considerable shift
ing Of the interests OF the trading pub
lie from the old crop to the new be-
cause the old crops are subject to
manipulation and the new crops are
increasing in activity.

THEY ALL DEMAND IT
Sumter, Like Every City and Town in
the Union, Receives 1t.

People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tor
lures Of an aching back. relief is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve, but do
not cure. Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought lasting results to thousS nds.
Here is Sumter evidence Of their
merit.
j. Fl. Grady. 16 Wright ST., Sumter,
s. c., says: MY back ached nearly
all the time and had acute pains

lame and stiff and l noticed that the
kidney secretions contained sediment.
Doan's Kidney Pills, which / got at
China's Drug store, removed these
symptoms OF kidney complaint and

DANCE WAS BEST OF SEASON.
Some of the Features OF the Holiday
Eve Clubs Final Dance of Season.

Possibly never before in the his
tory Of Sumter has such rare COM
bination of beautiful women, en-
trancing music and artistic decora-
tions been gathered together Tor a
dance as that Thursday night when
the Holiday Eve Club gave it's final
dance OF the season OF 1928 and
rounded out its sixth year Of exist
ence. Always the dances given by
the club have been enjoyable affairs
famed over the State. and probably,
in this case, the last was the best of
all. .-r, .-- .- -. sar., -
The hall had been most artistically
and beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion. The walls were draped with
smilax from which electric bulbs of
many colors cleaned. Streamers Of
red. white and blue were looped from
beam TO beam across the hall, pre-
senting a delightful effect to the eye.
The music for the occasion was
furnished by the Sumter Orchestra
which was directed by Miss Helen
Tillinghast and Prof. l.. c. Noise, and
was the best that has been given at
any dance during the year. The
dancers found its strains most en-
trancing. In the dreamy rythm Of the
waltz and the enlivening beat OF the
two-step, the orchestra coming in for
full share OF praise from all OF the
dancers. The floor was in better con-
dition than ever before and was an
other Improvement over past dances.
The weather was just warm enough
to be delightful for the dancers.
The attendance upon the dance was
not nearly so large as 1t has been at
other dances, but IL was quite large
enough for a good dance without
crowding the hall too much. There
were about forty couples on the floor
and great many stags were present
to prevent the dance from being dull.
In order to give these stays chance
to dance breaks were allowed during
the latter part of each dance, a fea-
ture which tended to remove much of
the formality otherwise always no.
ticeable at a card dance.
Supper was served shortly after
midnight In the Chamber OF Com
merce Hall, consisting Of a salad
course followed by ice cream and
cake. Punch was served early in the
evening. soon after the cards had been
given out and filled for the dances.
After supper the german was
danced. many beautiful figures being
executed and much enjoyment being
obtained from this feature Of the
evening. The german was led by
Messrs. Henry Moses. Van Cleve Par
rott and Julian Levy.
Among the visitors in attendance
upon the dance were: Misses Isa-
belle Patterson and Flora Tobin OF

possessed with a high sense of hui
NOR, he never failed to appreciate
joke or crack one himself even in
battle. In this connection / will di-
gress to relate one or two instances
that 1 recall which VIII illustrate
my point.
In Company / was a Corporal by
the name of Sumner Snow, who
stood six feet five inches in his
stocking feet. On one occasion
when Col Pingree was mastering
the Company, in calling his name
he pronounced it Summer instead of
Summer Snow and added by way of
comment, Summer Snow not very
consistent in this climate at least"
Then looking up at Snow he asked
him How tall are your" to which
the Corporal replied six feet, five
inches, sir. :" We'll, 1 declare,
gravely remarked the Colonel, "Six
feet, five inches of summer Snow.
hope it will endure until the war is
over and then be transported to Yer
mont"
On another occasion while on the
march, the Colonel, who was no
dandy, but rather plainly clad and
wearing a priyate's forage cap, was
of woods, and had said cap brush
ed from his head by limb and it
fell almost under the feet of the
writer, when the Colonel dryly re-
marked, BE careful Sergeant. Don't
step on that cap; it cost me 81
cents.''
Incidentally I may add that the
last time / saw the Colonel (who /
believe is still living) was at Hart
ford, VT, in 1884, and if my mem
DRY is not at fault he was at that
time not only Governor of Vermont,
but clerk of the town of Hartford.
1t is not my purpose to write a
history of the war, as that has al
ready been done by ADLER pens, but
mainly, as the title of this paper
suggests to recount the writer's per-
sonal recollections of incidents and
events pertaining to the career of
the Third Regiment and incidentally |
of the Vermont Brigade, officially
known. as the Second Brigade, Sec
ond Division, Sixth Army Corps, |
which by the way 1 may add parti- /
cipated in not only every battle in
which the Army of the Potomac was |
engaged, but served in addition |
under Phil. Sheridan in the Shen-
andoah Valley campaign, which re-
suited in the discontinue of Earley's |
confederate army, after which the |
Sixth Corps rejoined the Army of |
the Potomac in season to take part |
in the final struggle at Five Forks /
and the capture of Lees Army.
What I have written will give the |
reader but a faint idea or concep- |
ton of the magnitude of the opera
tions, campaigns, marches and bat
ties of the Sixth Corps. In a future
paper 1 will endeavor to take the |
reader over the entire ground or |
field covered by said army from Bull /
Run to the final roundup of Lees |
army of Appomattox.

WITH THIRD VERMONT
Personal RecOllectiOns of Civil War
Incidents by a Veteran Of the
Regiment.

While Eliminating on the scenes
and incidents OF the past the writer's
memory reverted to the stirring
events that occurred in st. Johnsbury
during the early spring and summer
or 1861 attending the mobilization
drill and subsequent departure Of
the Third Regiment from that town
and naturally this suggested to his
mind the question how many of the
present inhabitants of ST. Johnsbury
were living there at the time of
which he is writing. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that many men
and nearly all women are averse to
having their age made public. If
the writer has any such scruples the
events he is about to narrate would
give him away as a simple mathe-
matical calculation would demon
strate the fact that he is no longer
a boy and he is frank to say he is
fully as old as he looks, which is
far from young. In this connection
/ may add that in all probability
among your readers there may be at
least a few who will surmise the
identity of the writer from the
events and circumstances in which
he played a part as here related,
though his name be withheld.
ConcOrd's First Volunteers
In the spring of 1861 1 was en-
ployed as a machinist in the shops
of John ID. Chase and Sons at West
Concord. Among my acquaintance
we're about 80 young men or boys
between the age of IS and 81, all
strong, manly athletes, just the ma
terial in fact, for soldiers. One eve
ming while a dozen or so of the
number were seated on the veranda
of the West Concord Hotel, discus
sing the coming conflict, it was sug-
gested and at once agreed upon to
enlist in a body at the first oppor-
tunity. Said opportunity came soon
er than we expected but was none
the less welcome and we were not

Birds Beginning Their Autumn Mi

gration-SOme Strange Ones
Seen
September is the month in which
to watch the birds on their autumn
migration Some kinds are leaving
daily and all seem very tame and
sociabIe for a few days previous to
their going.
Many f1ocks of brownish, spar
row-like birds with a bright yellow
patch on the rump are to be found
in the gardens and along the roads.
These are most puzzling birds on ac-
count of their feeding habits, as
they eat both insects and seeds very
readily. They are the young or i'm
mature Myrtle Warblers and may
often be found in company with the
parent birds.
On September 2, a pair of rusty
blackbirds were seen on the East st.
Johnsbury Road near the bank of
Moose River. These birds are very
rare in this vicinity.
Bluebirds, robins and song spar
rows are still here in good numbers
but they are flocking together in
open fields preparing to go south
very soon.
A pair of fox sparrows was seen
September 10, also several Savanna
sparrows and a winter wren.
On September IA large numbers
of tree sparrows and juncos were
seen feeding in the gardens and
three house wrens were singing.
On September Is, although the
mercury stood at % degrees F.,
whole family of Maryland yellow
Threats were seen on the frosty
grass hunting for their breakfast
In addition to the birds that are
migrating are a good number which
stay all the year round. Visitors
in the Fairbanks Museum may be
interested to see these permanent
residents grouped together in case

response to the Presidents call for

Governor Erastus Fairbanks had a
