GOOD RESULTS
OBTAINED At
COUNTY FARM
LAND is GREATLY IMPROVED
Farm a Source Of Aid TO
County

When the county commissioners
three or four years ago ceased to lease
the Sumter county pauper farm, and
decided to have it cultivated under the
direction of the superintendent Of
county roads, they began work of
rehabilitation that has changed the
erstwhile unproductive farm into one
of the best two hundred acre tracts
in the county Prior to the change
thus wrought, the county's poor
farm was poor in a double sense. u
was a barren, sandy spot then, pro-
ducing but little in the way of crops
but a change has been wrought with.
in three years, and at little cost to
the county.
The land is cultivated by convicts
who, for the time, are incapacitated for
the usual heavy road work, and witt
such labor and abundant fertilizer the
lands have been built up and improved
and values more than trebled within a
brief time. Woods were cleared up,
and more land cultivated This yea

The fields are planted in corn and
oats while in the pastures are many
fine hogs that give promise of a mo t
supply next fall. No cotton is raised
on the farm.

By timely hitting and cleaner field
ing than their opponents, Auburn took
the opener from Mercer in the three
game series that is being played here
between the two teams, the score being
5 to 8. The game was witnessed by a
large crowd, in which there were many
rooters for both teams.
Though the Mercerians excelled IN
batting, having garnered a total Of
nine hits to Auburp's I, they were un-
able to bunch hits so as to make them
count for runs. Coupled with the ina
bility to hit the ball were rather num-
erous errors, which fattened Auburn's
score appreciably.
Driver pitched a good game OF ball
for Auburn, keeping the hits scatter
ed. He pulled out of several tight
places when hits would have meant
runs. Williams, who did the receiF-
ing, was hit by pitched ball in the
latter part of the game which made it
necessary for Boykin to take his place.

EIGHTEEN DEAD
RESCUED FROM
Mine HOLOCAUST
OTHERS STILL IN THE MINE
Believed More Than Cine
Hundred Dead

Pittsburg, Pa, April 25.-With the
coming of dawn, fresh crews took the
places of the tired workers who had
toiled increasingly throughout the
night in an effort to penetrate the
.recesses of the Cincinnati mine of the
Pitsburg Coal Company at Finley
Vile, Pa, where an explosion of fire
damp killed many men and wrecked
the mine
Eibhteen dead bodies have already
been brought to the mouth of the prin-
cipal opening of the mine.
That the mine contains many more
dead, even officers of the company adj
NIT, while leaders of the rescue par
ties, and some of the men who escap-
ed from the workings are of the opin-
ion that the fatalities will number
close to one hundred. However, it viii
be impossible to determine the exact
extent of the catastrophe until the
cross entries have been explored.
Many men working with feverish
haste are building brattices to carry
the fresh air through the gas filed
galleries.
The bodies that were recovered
were not far from the entrance,
among them being that of miner
named Mccullough. who had volun-
teered for rescue work. He was
among the first to enter the mine af-
ter the explosion
Latest estimates of the dead are
one hundred persons, as it is known
that 179 men went into the mine and
that about seventy-nine are known 20
have escaped.
