ease.

In view of the fact that reports
nave been circulated in town that
there is an epidemic Of diphtheria
in the city it will be heard with re-
lief by many parents that there Is
no danger from this disease, so far
as the health officer knows. EIe stat
ed Thursday that he had heard from
several sources of the reports, but
mat no cases had been reported to
him and so far as he knew there was
no diphtheria in town. The only
known contagious disease was one
case, supposed to be scarlet fever, on
the outskirts OF the city on Purdy
Street.
Otherwise than this there were no
contagious diseases in town and the
health Of the community was excel.
lent, being, in fact, much better than
for number Of years, there being no

NEW PAPER FOR MANNING?

Manning, Aug. 30.-There is a
definite movement on foot to organize

as yet been perfected, it is said that

that the company will be organized at

ager of the new paper.
1t has been suggested that there is
a possibility Of the new company
buying out the Manning Times, which
has been published for many years by
Maj. Louis Applet, but it is not known
that any steps have been taken look
ing to such a deal. The Times ha
had the field to itself for a good man>
years, and it is problematical wheth-

OF Securing Expert Advice for

Editor Daily Item.

Editor Daily Item.
noticed in your paper the most
striking move to my mind that has
been made for the betterment of the
farmers and country, that Of raising
tobacco, on small scale to COM
mence with, and l notice the liberal
spirit of the big hearted and broad
minded men of Sumter Offering
prizes to induce farmers to try to-
bacco as a money crop. This is all
right, but it strikes me that it would
mean more for the farmers and the
county, if this contribution with
what the farmers would or could
raise, be spent in securing a compe-
tent man whose business would be to
direct and advise the farmers how
to manage the tobacco from the
hot bed to the warehouse. This may
not strike the average mind as the
best way to start this new enter
prise, but to any mind it would mean
more to the farmer than three times
these prizes. AS it is, the farmers
would be offered prizes to do some
thing that few farmers know much
about.
The dispensary lovers seem not to
specially want whiskey, but revenue
This will mean more, if carried out
properly, than all the whiskey in
ChristendOm, for it will be an honor
able and just game-not making poor
poorer, but making the entire state
of affairs better and bring about a
tendency to lessen the credit habit
that seems to prevail in our home
city. Reader, think of this change.
Get at it right on small scale, give
it your attention and in a few years,
with good management, farmers who
have fallen behind, and who have
mOrtgaged their farms possibly, will
be free men. You cannot pay back
debts raising cotton with the odds
that exist against the farmer Of today

NEW FOOD PRODUCT.
ParrOtt Milling CO.. Adds a New Lille
to Their Products.

The Parrott Milling Co., has ju.t

Parmi-co milk feed. In placing th
Feed on the market they are follow
ing the policy Of the company whic Ia
is 10 offer for sale only the highest
grade articles. They have spent sev-
eral months in the preparation of thu
formula and now think that they have
it perfected.
Before offering the feed for Sc IL
they had it analyzed by the Ste te
Chemist. This analysis shows that
it contains 1916 per cent protein, 4.50
per cent fat, and 63.44 per cent car
bohydrates. Commissioner CT Agri-
culture, Hon. E. ]. Watson, in writ
ing of this feed says in part: I'm re-
gard to the quality of this feed I b.
to say that it is really an excelleut
feed"
The average user Of feedstuffs doe
not realize the importance of the
chemica! analysis and conse-
quently pays little attention to
it. There are three essential in-
gradients of all feedstuffs that the
user should learn of. They are
protein and fats and carbohydrates
The Department Of Agriculture, in one
of its bulletins has the following 70
say in regard to these ingredients:
Protein is an essential ingredient
of the food of every animal, because
from no other substance can the
waste of muscles, tendons and the
working tissues and membranes he
renewed; nor can the casein of milk
the albumen and other constituents o.
the egg, nor new body substance or
any sort be obtained by the animal
from any other source than protein
The necessary elements from which
the animal organism constructs these
substances are yielded in availabe
protein the animal can live but a shori
time.
Fat ard carbohydrates form the
animal fat and produce heat for the
animal body"
A careful reading of the above vii
show the necessity of studying the
guaranteed analysis of all feedstuffa

As to Canvass of Election.

Wedgefleld, Aug. 29.-The forces
that stand for more whiskey, more
drunkenness and more crime, it seems
have triumphed for the time being
To the silent OnloOker it must
have been a sad sight during the re-
cent canvassing Of the vote, to see
men high up in authority religions
socially and politically fighting to
force upon the citizenship Of Sumter

dispensary, when the majority Of
votes cast in the county were record
ed against it. The final outcome is not
surprising. though when it Is known
that on the day before the commits
sioners of election met to canvass tho
vote, when the returns indicated a
majority against the dispensary, that
applicants for position for the board
of control were circulating petitions.

Crisis with regard to the Federal dis

for which Messrs j. VIM. Thurmond.
of Edgefield, and Frank II. Weston.
Of Columbia, have been avOwed cam
didates for some time, the former
with the endorsement of Senator Till
man and the latter with the endorse
ment of Senator f. ID. Smith.
Senator Smith has put forward no
candidate for marshal against Mr..
JAS. l.. Sims, of Orangeburg, Senator
1lllman's choice for the post, but the
junior senator refuses to give in as
to the district attorneyship. The dis
agreement of the two senator's as to
this important piece of patronage is
embarrassing to the administration,
which does not desire to offend either
of them.
If they continue at loggerheads it is
possible that the president may con.
slider himself justified in making Sc
lection on his own initiative.
Definite developments are expected
soon after the presidents return from
his brief outing in New Hampshire.

In the "Land of the Sky"

Asheville, N. c., Aug. 31.-As many
of your readers have not visited this
place, birds eye view of it and the
surrounding country may not be al
together uninteresting to them. The
city is very pretty one, surrounded
by high mountains, and the air is cool
and crisp, like it is in October with
us. 1t is a busy place, with very lit
tie noise except by cars. There are
large hotels and many boarding houses
which are filled with people from
all sections of the country, as far as
Oklahoma, Texas, New York, Cali
fornia, etc. They say that Asheville
has never had so many visitors, who
come to get away from the heat of
their homes and to be treated for
lung trouble. 1 saw several who
came here sick with lung ailments and
are now pronounced we'll Several
large hotels are now being finished
One, the Grove Park Inn, is one of
the largest and finest l have ever
seen. 1t is built of large and small
rock of different kinds gotten from
the mountains nearby. Some of the
rock, 1 am satisfied, will weigh be-
tween two and thee thousand pounds
Large fire places, ten feet wide, with
heavy dog irons shoulder high. The
furniture is fine and conveniences all
that could be desired. l was courte-
ously shown all through the build
ing and judging from what 1 saw the
cost when finished will be near a
million of dollars. 1t is now being
used. The rate per day is seven dol
lars and upward. From the back
piazza is a splendid view Of the city
and surrounding country. 1t is built
at the foot Of the mountain. 1 went
to the top of Sunset Mountain yes

to reach the top. 1t is nearly 1000

Tobacco cannot be grown prolitably
on all soils and it will be q mistake
FOR any farmer to undertake to grow
tobacco unless his land is adapted to
the crop. The experience of success
full tobacco growers in Sumter and ad-
joining counties has demonstrated
what soils are best adapted to tobac-
co and the soil survey maps of SUM
ter and adjoining counties show eX
actly the type of soil to be found in
each community, therefore it will be
comparatively easy for farmer to
ascertain whether or not he has the
type of soil on his farm that grows
tOb; co. 1t will not be necessary to
go to the expense of planting a crop
of tobacco to find out whether it will
grow on a particular farm. The far
mers who have land exactly like or
very similar to land that has produc-
ed crops of tobacco i'm Sumter, Clar-
endon, Florence or Darlington coun-
ties would be safe in going into tobac-
co, but if he has not the tobacco type
of land, he had better stick to cotton.
There is plenty of tobacco land i'm
Sumter county and there is no use in
planting land that will not produce
good tobacco, for to do SO would re
suit in loss to the individual farmer
and Il black eye to the tobacco grow
ing industry.
