On last Friday afternoon the bows
Of the PineWood high school motored
over to cross bats with the team Of
the local school. Promptly at 5 O'Clock
Umpire Walker called the game much
to the enjoyment of the local fans as
this was the first real game of the
season on the local diamond. With
southpaw Douglas Balm in the box
for the locals the game was soon
terminated victoriously for the local
lads, the score being II to 7. Both
teams played well with the exception
OF some loose fielding, errors happen
ing at intervals which were very cost
~ to both sides. The feature of the
game was the battery work of the
Summerton team. Following is the
line up of the Summerton team:
Frank Mood, c.; Douglas Balm, p.
Cantey Richbourg, h.; Ashton Rich
bourg. 2b.; Jim Bowen, 3b.; Myron

The Times of last week gave full
details of>the meeting Of the Railroad
Commissioners held at Summerton
some time ago, why the meeting was
| heled also who called the meeting.
As result Of the order given out by
the Commission the divisional super
| intendent Of the Atlantic Coast Line
| Railroad has written the Commission
! that pursuant to their instruction an
| instrument will be installed at Wilson
Mill as soon as such can be purchas-
ed. AS a result of the orders receiv-
| ed by the Northwestern Railroad we
note that for the past few days the
| trains of the company have been
pretty we'll in schedule with the en-
/ ception of one time monday morn
ing), this particular time the morning
| train was something like two hours
| late bringing no daily papers except
the Charleston American. Other Char
lesion dailies never came at all. Now,
this was not the fault Of the railroad
this time as the one Charleston paper
came all right and the others were
evidently mailed too late to get out
on the early train. We understand
that the Northwestern Railroad meets
all connections at Wilson Mill and that
the travelling public may get in and
out of Summerton the same day with
out any danger of having to either
| put up at the Wilson Mill hotel or
| take the electric car for Manning.
AS spring moves on, and summer
| draws near we think that now is a
| very appropriate time for the council
to decree and set aside "Clean UD"
day for Summerton Let everybody
| clean up their premises, and fill in
every crack and crevice where a
| musquito or fly may dare to breed
and avoid an onrush Of the pests in
| midsummer when it is too late to try
| to destroy the insects. How about
it, Mr.. Mayor?
The recent cold wave did very little
or practically no damage to the crops
in this community. The rain came in
very nicely on the farmers who were
| putting nitrate and other fertilizer
/ to their small grain crop and this
week those who are through planting
corn are beginning to plant cotton
and fixing to get their tobacco land
in shape for transplanting. Fertili-
zers are coming in late again this
year and this is probably why the
crops are a little behind as many
are waiting patiently for the arrival
of the same.
The town and surrounding COM
! munity was grieved Monday morning
to hear of the death Of Jimmie Rich
ardson, 17-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. 3. Richardson. following an
