FIFTY-FIFTY
Sumter and Columbia Play to
Standstill on Gridiron

The football game which was stag
ed here yesterday between the Game
cock eleven and the Columbia High
School, rsulled in tie. Neither
team showed the punch and drive
necessary to score. Each team was
within the shadow of the goal once.
Sumter came within eleven yards Of a
touchdown. but the rushes OF the
backs tailed to make the necessary
distance and the ball went over. Co
iu1rbia came no closer than seventeen
yards Of their score and they 900,
lacked the necessary drive to mae
il first and ten and the ball went over.
The first quarter was played almost
entirely in the center Of the field
with the punting game playing the
leading role. Some good punting was
done by both DeLorme for Sumter and
Harmon for Columbia. In this quar-
ter the largest gain was that by De-
Lorme for twelve yards. However,
his running mates were unable to be
of great assistance to him. Wheeler
was Sumter's best ground gamer,
While Harmon was Columbia's best
bet. The second quarter was like
unto the first, in that it was mostly
9 punting game
After the second half began it SEEM
ed as if the Columbia coach had given
inspiration to his team in some man
ner. On end runs and forward pass
es, mixed with line bucks the Colum-
Iia team carried the ball down the
field some 20 yards. From his own
II yard line Bradley took six and five
around right end. a tumble was re-
covered by Harmon who gained nine
yards. A tackle over tackle play
worked for six yards and Bradley took
eight and two on line bucks. Harm
secured four and twelve on buck and
an end run A forward pass Harmon to
Langley netted Is yards. With the
ball on the II yard line Bradley
fulnbled and lost six, which was re-
gained by Harmon. "A pass failed and
with ten to go >and fourth down an
other pass was batted to the ground
by Wheeler,
On end runs and forward passes
Sumter placed the ball on the IL yard
line in the, final quarter but could not
score. Receiving the punt on the.
SO yard line DeLorme returned ten.
Pitts ook eighteen on an end run,
forward pass Pitts to Wright added
twelve, a line buck by Burns totaled
six and a similar play by Wheeler
added ten. AN end run by Wheeler
added four more. Here the rush
stopped and the ball lost on downs.
Columbia tried repeatedly to work
long passes, but only one was COM
pleted. Both e}evens worked hard
and consistently, but as it usually the
case. some players predon1inated.
On this occasion. Harmon and Lang
icy were the shining lights forfthe
visitors while Wheeler. Wray,, Wright
and DeLorme did best for Sumter

TWO AUCTION SALES
FOR FARMERS WEEK

On August z there will be an auc-
ton sale of registered hogs, Durocs,
big-boned Poland Chinas and Berk-
shires, at the University grounds,
Baton Rouge. These animals will be
consigned by different breeders of
this state, from Mississippi and from
Texas, and will represent the best
blood lines to be had.
On August the sale will be de-
voted to Shorthorn, Hereford and
Angus cattle. The type Of animals
that will be consigned will be the
ones that are best suited for farm
service on the stock farms that are
to be free of cattle ticks. A few
tick-immune animals will be sold, but
most of them will be expected to go,
into the territory where they can be
protected until the eradication of the
cattle tick.
1t is hoped to make this an m
portant day in the history of live
stock improvement in louisa.
These two sales will be the closing
events of the Farmers Week at the
University, which begins on July 81,
and to which all the farmers of the
state are invited.

THE SOUTH is WHITE
SAYS HON. w. o. HART

One of the candidates for governor
of Louisiana is reported to have said
that most of the people who live in
the South are negroes, and this
statement causes Hon. w O.. Hart of
New Orleans to offer the following
correction.
The Southern states, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Oklahoma, only in two
is the negro population greater than
the white: These two are Missis-
sippi, where the relative figures I'M
der the census of 1910 are 786,000
white and little over million ne
gro, and South Carolina, $4,000
white and $4,000 negro.
In Alabama the white population
exceeds the negro population by over
800, 600; in Arkansas by nearly 700,-
600; Florida, nearly 10000; Geor-
gia, over 100000; Kentucky nearly
two million; Louisiana, over 100, 900;
Maryland, nearly 100000; Missouri,

AGRICULTURAL FUND
GREATLY REDUCED

W. r. Perkins, diHector of extern
sion work in Louisiana, has just re-
turned from Washington and wishes
to give the following information to
the people of Louisiana relative to
the discontinuance Of the war agrI-
cultural fund: :.
When the war ended the war agri-
cultural emergency bill expired. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture, realizing that the food situa-
ton is as acute today as ever, asked
Congress to make an appropriation
of $4,50O,000 to carry on this work.
In the spring the Senate passed a
bill to give this sum. The House, in
stead of passing this sum made an
appropriation of $1,5O0,000. Con-
gress adjourned before any compro-
mise between the Senate and House
could be made.
When Congress convened it did
not see fit to pass sufficient appro-
priations to take the place of the
funds carried by the emergency bill,
but both houses agreed to appropri-
ate 81, 100000 supplemental to the
Smith-Lever fund, which means a
subsequent reduction in the emer-
gency demonstration agents and spe-
cialists among both the men and
women. Appeals will be made to the
police juries in order to maintain a
force sufficiently large to carry on
the work in satisfactory manner.
Several parishes have already in
creased their appropriations for this
work and it is believed that we will
have the hearty cooperation of most
of the police juries and school boards
of the state.
