FIRST SEASON OF SHOOTING
is ENJOYED BY HUNTERS
Squirrels Are Abundant in
Woods Of Sumter

Americas gunners have enjoyed re-
Gently the first period of the shooting
season by going after the squirrels in
Muckalee swamp and other woods
hereabout, and to an extent that really
threatens the meat trust. Squirrels
are as thick in Muckalee swamp as
are Germans around Paris, and the
carnage at both places is terrific. Than
a painful of tender squirrels, broiled to
the queens taste, there is nothing this
side of the pearly gates half so deli
cious, and the advent of the season for
shooting the Dummies is hailed with de-
light by sportsmen who take the

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 31.-The famous
"belled buzzard" of song and story,
or at least some belled buzzard, was
seen last week at Stone Mountain. Ga.
according to Walter j. Smith, who
lives near there. He says he saw the

Ariel is the daughter of Mr.. a nd

widely known aviator, and Mrs. Villas
is also enthusiastic over the sport.
Papa Villas first tested out his hydro
aeroplane at Clarendon Beach, an

They mounted in spirals to the dis
lance of about 1000 feet, when the
engines were stopped and the machine
shot down like an arrow.

U. S. ENSIGN A FIGHTER

Washington, D. c., Aug. 31.-An en-
sign of the United States navy, sta
toned On a warship on the Pacific
coast, has written to the sec. etary OF
the navy for leave of absence with per-
mission to go abroad for the purpose
of volunteering for active service with
one OF the warning European armies
or navies.
The young officer unhesitatingly said
it was his desire to take part as a
combatant in the European conflict. He
supported his request with the conten-
ton that he would be able to obtain
much valuable military information
through this means.
Secretary Daniels refused to grant
the application on two grounds, first
that American naval officers could not
| he spared, and, second, that the United
! States was neutral in the European
war, and it would be improper to per-
nit an American naval officer to at.
tach himself to one of the hostile
! forces.
Department officials declined to tel
the name of the officer or whether he
expressed preference for any partic.
ular nation now engaged in hostili'
ties.

PROSPERITY FOR
SUMTER DESPITE
The DEPRESSION
PEOPLE WILL PULL THROUGH
Despite The Prevailing Low
Priced Cotton

Americas people and Sumter's farm
ers alike are practicing economy as
never before, and, despite low priced
cotton and conditions generally, they
are going to pull through all right
Never yet has there arisen an obstacle
insurmountable, and they are going to
climb this one all right as we'll. There
are going to be more hogs killed in
Sumter this fall than in any year in a
decade, while fall gardens will dot
every city lot large enough to hold one
and on every farm as well.
Late crops Of corn are turning out
finely and will add 25 per cent. yield
to the main crop planted in March.
Many fields of corn planted in June
and July will yield 40 to so bushels per
acre.
The real progress, however, in agri-
cultural affairs in this country con-
sists in an earnest trend toward real
diversifcation of the crops and the
fact that the farmers are looking into
the matter of growing paying winter
cover crops.
Cotton of course, has always been
the great crop of Sumter county, AMI
probably always will be, but farmers
are realizing the truth of the situation
and are studying it so that when they
go about putting their lands in other
crops it will not be on the strength of
some spur of-the-minute plan, but be-
cause it has come about through a bus
inesslike development of farming.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Sumter county suffered from droutA
in the early spring which prevented
the crops from coming up to a stand
and very much handicapped the truck
farmers, who were making their mi
tial efforts along this line of endeavor,
still there were for several months in
dications that Sumter county would
harvest a bumper crop of both cora
and cotton.
Truck farmers, Notwithstanding the
many drawbacks in the outset made
very satisfactory yields and are suffi-
GENTLY encouraged to venture another
