Prevent Solled Comforters.

It spells heavy bed comforters to wash them, and besides they are so heavy to handle when one tries to was then that it is almost too much for a woman to attempt. So here is my plan for keeping them clean: The end used at the head of the bed and which always becomes soiled I cover with width of the same goods as the comforter is made of, allowing half the width to come on top and half on un- Ter side. By cutting the edge in seal lops and binding with wash ribbon they are quite pretty These strips can be taken off and washed when soiled and replaced again, thereby saving the washing of the comforter.

Practice of Burninu Straw.

The practice of burning straw is not as common as it used to be. How ever. many farmers do not realize the true value of the straw stack The fertilizing value of the straw from a t0.aere wheat field is from s25 to $40. If the straw is used as bedding and the manure used this value of the straw is saved and in addition thus nsed will absorb a large amount of lieuid manure that might otherwise he wasted.

LIVING OFF PRINCIPAL

The farmers of this country have been living. not upon the interest from their investments, but upon their principal; and whatever measure of apparent prosperity they have had in favored localities has been largely taken from their capital stock. The boastful state ment that the American land owner has become a scientific farmer is as erroneous as it is optimistic. Almost every effort by the American farmer has re- suited in decreasing the fertility of the soil.-Dr. Cyril G. Hop kins.

CRIMINAL COURT ADJOURNS.
Judge Bowman Thanks Jurymen for
Their Services to the County.

From The Daily Item, Feb. 12.
The General Sessions Court for
Sumter county adjourned late this af-
ternoon at the completion OF all cases
on the docket, except such cases
which had been continued or other
wise disposed Of.
In the case of Rachel Potts, charg-
ed with murder, the jury failed to
agree upon a verdict and after being
absent from the court room for some
time a mistrial was ordered.
The case against Warren McFadden
proved a fizzle. McFadden was charg-
ed with violation Of the dispensary
law and Braley Cary was put up as
the chief witness against him. Bra
ley on the witness stand denied know
ing McFadden or ever having seen
him before he was put on the stand.
He stated that he had bought the
whiskey, but he was not allowed to tell
who it was that he bought it from on
the stand and the case fell through,
the solicitor acceding to a verdict Of
not guilty without putting the court
to any further trouble.
Martin Benbow was tried for OBJ
tanning goods by false pretenses and
found not guilty.
Court was adjourned after the ver-
dict in the Rachel Pott case was re-
turned. Judge Bowman in dismissing
the jurymen stated that they might
return to their businesses and he
hoped that they would not find them
much impaired by their absence and
the excellent service which thoy had
rendered the county.
The sentence of Alma Washington
was changed to two years On the
Sumter county chaingang or in the
jail at such service as he could per-
form.
Warren McFadden, charged with
violation of the dispensary law, was
found not guilty.
An order was given for execution
against H. T. Edens for the collection
OF a $500 bond he had put up for one
G. E. Hunter.
Martin Benbow was acquitted OF the
charge Of disposing Of property un-
der lien.

cred and fired on. Davis, 1t Is said,

out for them.
Go Wilson, who Is a one-armed
man. claimed that for some time
he had been unable to get any work
to do and that his children were at
home starving for lack Of food. He
gave this as his reason for trying to
break into the store, saying that he
had secured some work and got some
meal the week before and that was all
his family had had to eat in q week.
Wilson was seriously injured. but not
fatally.

No one having won first prize in
Oratorical Contest in any previous
year can compete in contest this year.
Each School Day should be the
means Of doing good, morally, men,
tally and physically. Will not each
teacher SO impress this upon her
pupils? What is a prize worth IL
honor is sacrificed?
The three schools winning the flags
last year will lead the parade, and
will be. first. Bethel; second, Dalzell;
third, Winn.
The teachers are asked to have
preliminary contests in their schools,
as only one pupil from a school can
enter each contest. This applies
only in scholarship contest and in
athletics
Every teacher in every school is ex-
pected to at least do her part in en-
couraging the pupils to enter the
School Day contests, and to enter only
in spirit of honest rivalry, backed by
thorough preparation. 1t is desired
that the School Day show the result
of this thorough preparation, rather
than to be the cause of hasty prep
aration, from which little good can
come.
1t is hoped that the City Schools
may enter in the parade, and that we
may be able to demonstrate, at least
by numbers, what a great possibility
and responsibility rests, not only on
teachers. but on every true citizen of
Sumter county.

| The local lads were always in from,
and at no time were they pressed.
The Game Cock city players seem.
ed dazed at the speed of the local ag-
gregation. They fought gamely and
played we'll in flashes, but every time
they seemed to get started the local
boys spoiled their plans by a squirt.
In the second half Flowers and
Bryan were sent in for Chandler and
Drevenstedt. Both played good ball,
but were unable to keep down the
Charleston players. With long lead,
Coach Long sent in two of his young
sters. Scarpa for Sellers and Else
man for Seel Both substitutes played
a bang-up game, especially Scarpa.
The feature Of the game was the
field goal shooting of Capt. Ortman,
Seel and Sellers. The latter two made
some sensational shots from different
positions. in addition to a number of
successful fancy tosses. For the WIS.,
itors. Nash and Flowers played we'll.
The Sumter boys, 1t Is stated. are not
used to playing on a large court like
the one at the local Y. M. C. A., and
were thus somewhat handicapped last
night.
Another game will be played to-
night. the Sumter team meeting the
