The acreage devoted to the tobacco
crop in Sumter and Clarendon coun-
ties is much greater this year than it
has been at any time within the past
fifteen years, but the farmers are
having a hard time getting the plants
set out. The season was late and the
late frOsts damaged the plant beds,
causing scarcity Of plants. The sea-
son has been so dry that great diff
Guilty has been experienced in obtain
ing a good stand Of plants in the
fields. The crop is at least two
weeks later than normal, the plants
are small and the stand broken. The
tobacco crop at the present time is in
a precarious condition, but favorable
season for the next eight weeks may
to some extent, at least overcome the
bad start the crop has had. Through
out the southern and eastern parts
Of Sumter county and eastern Claren-
don County new tobacco barns are be-
ing built, many farmers who have
heretofore planted no tobacco are CIV
ing it O trial.

THE AUTHOR OF ROAD LAWS.
George WilmOt Chalk Tells of How
Bill Came to Be Introduced.

Mr.. George Wilmot Chalk of the
Home Of Confederate Veterans at Co.
lunbia visited the Item office on
Thursday morning, while on a trip
throughout the State for the purpose
OF perpetuating in the history of the
State the name of the man who was
the cause of the present road law in
South Carolina. Mr.. Chalk claims to
have been the means to have this bill
introduced.
Mr.. Chalk, in an interesting talk,
told of some of his life in North and
South Carolina, being a native of this
State but having lived in North Caro-
lima for many years after the war,
OF which he is veteran. He says that
the first modern road law was
introduced and passed for Meclklen-
berg County, n. c., through the efforts
of S. B. Alexander and that sugges-
tions offered by him were embodied
in this law
While on trip to South Carolina,
Fairfield County, to visit his mother,
he was arrested and fined because he
refused to work on the public roads.
He for this reason had a petition cir
culated giving the citizen the right to
pay communication road tax, if he
chose, instead of working on the road.
Later the text of this petition was
embodied in a bill and introduced in
the general assembly Of South Caro-
lima and enacted into a law 1t was
first adopted by Spsrtanburg county
and later by Anderson and Greenville
and then by the whole State Mr.
Chalk says.
Mr.. Chalk thinks that the children
Of South Carolina ought to be taught
matters of this nature in connection
with their other studies in order that
names Of those who have done things
worthy of note for their State may not
be forgotten.

The rumber of out town people
attending the Chautauqua has been
quite large. but not SO great as the
merit OF the programme warrants
This Is due. probably. to the fact that
the Chautauqua Is new In this section
OF tho country. and those who appre-
ciate the highest class Of entertain
ment have not understood or realized
that the Y. NJ. G.. A. in bringing the
Redpath Chautauqua to Sumter pro-
vided tho most delightful as we'll as
educational series of entertainments
that this city has ever enjoyed. The
Chautauqua has made so favorable
and so deep and lasting impression
that 1t will undoubtedly become "a
permanent annual event, for having
once had 1t our people will not con-
sent to being deprived OF it i'm future
years. There was some difficulty en-
countered In obtaining fifty men to
underwrite this guarantee for this
year, but II Is safe to say that a sim
liar condition will not prevail in

made good and 1t has become q popu-
lar institution that the people of sum
ter will support to whatever extent
that is necessary to insure it's per

hits, ons being O three bagger and

cured only seven hits and these were
scattered so badly that they did not
aid much in making scores. In err
ors Sumter. however. had only tn. ee
accredited to them. while the Column
bia team made six and Sumter's runs
were due largely to the errors Of the
Columbia players. while the Columbia
boys made only one run on errors.
Columbia got only three. Waring
struck out two. while eight of the CO.
lumbia players were struck out by
BrunsOn and Nunnamaker. The sum-
ter players In only four cases stole
bases on Sims. while six were stolen
from Burns. Waring and Bradham
each secured three base hits, while AL

ed two base hits.
The game was slow all the way

to score and the Columbia team
showed itself able to pull out of a
hole, when Waring gave three passes
on balls and with the bases full and
no outs. Columbia plugged two men
at the home plate and got the third
