BAD WEATHER In EUROPE.
March Conditions Prevailed Through.
out Month of June.

Next to the war the abnormal
weather. which has harassed England
so far this year is the most talked of
thing in the country. A sunny day
SO far this season is an event. The
same holds true of all northern Eu-
rope Where weather of this kind re-
sembling March has prevailed
throughout June and July. In Russia
there has been an unusual amount of
rain and excessive cold in Moscow up
to the middle of July there had been
no sign of summer or of the hot
weather which generally sets in before
June. In Scandinavia the weather has
been cheerless and very similar to that
in this country. In southern Germany
violent rains have fallen and Lake
Constance is abnormally high, while
in Austria there have been tremen-
dous. storms.
South of the Alps excessively hot
weather has been reported for many
weeks. In Sardinia there has been a
heat wave which has been followed
by forest fires.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The Regular Biennial Election for
Mayor and One Councilman Was
Held Yesterday.

1t Is fact that an election was
held in this city yesterday with polls
open at each OF the regular voting
places in the four wards, and that
the election was for the purpose of
electing Mayor and one Councilman
to serve for four years each. Few
people seemed to know that an elec-
ton was being held and OF the few
that remembered 1t only a small num-
ber took the trouble to go to the polls
to cast their ballots. The lack of in
terest was not fatal, however, for
there was only one candidate for each
Office, and the election was only the
confirmation Of the result of the re-
cent primary! The result Of the elec-
ton was declared as follows:
Ward For Mayor, Jennings, 13.
For Councilman, Booth, IS.
Ward 2-For Mayor, Jennings, "a.

ARMY WORMS APPROACH.
ADVICE From Clemson College fol
Combating Pest.

Clemson College has issued q warn
ing to farmers that the true army
worm may invade this State in large
numbers some time this month. Mr..
Niven urges all farmers to watch care
fully for any signs of this caterpillar
In their crops, and calls their atten-
ton to the instructions sent out from
Clemson College so that they will be
prepared to control the pest if It
should appear. Especial notice is
called to the spraying and ditching
methods of fighting the worm.
The following is from the official
publication of Clemson College on the
subject:
heavy outbreak of the true army
worm is expected this year. The ma
ture caterpillars will probably be eat
ing the grasses and crops about the
second week in August.
Where the worms have just been
discovered and are still confined to a
small area, spray with the following:
Two pounds arsenate of lead.
Fifty gallons of water.
Where spraying will not do, use the
following poison bait:
Fifty pounds of bran.
One pound of Paris green or two
pounds of arsenate of lead.
Three to four quarts of low-grade
mOlasses.
Six finely chopped oranges or lem
Ons
Mix the dry bran and poison, then
add the molasses. Work into a dough
and add the oranges or lemons. When
the dough is too thick ad little wa
ter. Broadcast this bait over the In
tested field or among the worms while
they are on the march.
When the worms are moving in a
mass they may be halted by digging
a ditch across their path. The ditch
@hould be narrow with steep sides.
When the worms fall into it kill them
by dragging a log up and down
through the ditch.

If the County Board of Commits
siOners have any doubt concerning the
value of the work that has been done
by the Home Demonstration Agent for
Sumter county, they should make in
quiries of any of the patrons of any of
the schools in which Miss Lennon has
organized clubs. This work is the
most practical, the most beneficial and
the most efficient educational work
that has ever been undertaken in this
county, and the only criticism that
can reasonably be made is that it has
not been possible to extend it to every
community and every school in the
county. The County Board of Educa-
ton has been so favorably impressed
will be the value of the work and the
importance of the results accomplished
that they have arranged to give Miss
Lennon an assistant next year, the
salary of the assistant to be paid,
partly by Winthrop College and partly
by the County Board of Education
out of funds that the board has avail
able for school extension work.

LAW ENFORCEMENT In GREEN
WILLIE.
-Four state COnstabIcs and Two Detec.
tivcs War Oh blind Tigers"

Grecnville Piedmont, Aug. z.
AS the result of a secret investiga-
ton that has been conducted for the
past month by State constables and
detectives, a sweeping raid took the
city and county of Greenville Monday
by complete surprise and by early af-
ternoon the police department had
rounded up about seventeen cases for
gambling and twenty for selling whis-
key. Thirty cases have been worked
up outside of Greenville city against
persons charged with selling whiskey.
The sensation was sprung Monday
morning. When the trigger was pulled
the net that was drawn tightly around
alleged offenders fell thick and fast in
them by the city police in Greenvine
and the rural police and constables in
different towns and sections of the
county.
OF the twenty gambling cases which
were worked up by two detectives
vested with full authority, practically
all the defendants had been arrested
by Monday afternoon. Some of the
defendants had two or more cases pre-
ferred against hem. Defendants were
charged with gambling in pool rooms,
and cases were also made out against
men in charge of these places.
The two men who worked up these
cases, as well as Investigated the whis-
key traffic, We're employed by the po-
lice department Four State consta-
bles handled the situation outside of
the city. Negroes are charged in a
large number of the whiskey cases,
but the defendants charged with gam
bling are all white.
On the surface today was indication
that an effort will be made to have
city licenses revoked for pool rooms
where gambling is alleged to have
been INDUCED in. The law, it was
stated, provided for the revocation Of
a license under that condition. Inas-
much as three of the leading pool
rooms in Greenville are implicated,
this fight to revoke the licenses will
be watched with keen interest
Defendants held by the city for sell
ing whiskey will also be held on State
warrants that are to be issued. They
will be turned over to the county at
ter the city disposes of it's cases, which
number about twenty. There are said
to be about 80 cases for selling whis-
key in the Dunty, outside OF the city
proper. Some were worked up in
Greer and in different parts of the
country and suburbs.

BROOM CORN MOVING.
Big Money Crop for Oklahoma Farm
crs That Could lie Grown i'm Sumter.
County.

A full crew of carpenters are busy
this week building a spacious broom
corn warehouse for Mr.. Il. T. EasOn,
the local broom corn buyer. Mr..
Eason's intentions were to have his
warehouse completed in time to
handle the very first shipments from
this place, but as he experienced some
delay in securing sight from the
railway company it will not be COM
pleted in time to handle all of the
shipments. But will be ready for use
the latter part CT this week.
This convenient warehouse will
hereafter alleviate all complication in
the shipment of broom corn and will
be some inducement for buyers to
have their shipments hauled here for
loading rather than elsewhere.
NARROW is now recognized as one OF
the heaviest shipping points for broom
corn and this county is now second in
the State in the number Of tons OF
broom corn raised. The price is
good. corn is now selling from 500. .OC
to s125.00 per ton for the best grades
and with the exceedingly high prices
and large crop yield many thousands
OF dollars will be paid out here in
the next two weeks for this product
