Mr.. C. w. Josey, Of st. Charles in
Lee County, and Mrs. \. 3. Math-
ews Of Privateer township, the lat
ter the only farmer from Sumter
county with an individual farm eX-
hibit, were the two farm exhibits
but they made up in quality, di-
versification, artistic arrangement,
and in quantity for the disinterest-
ed attitude of Sumter county farm
ers in this department and in the
field crop department Of the fair.
Mrs. Mathews is doing a great work
in Sumter county in teaching her
tenants methods of diversiication,
and in showing others how TO live
at home" and knock out the boil
weevil. Mr. Josey is a recognized
diversified farm product farmer,
and he, with Mrs. Mathews showed
in mammoth and educational and
interesting style that there is no
better place than Sumter and Lee
counties for farmer who will work
and plant something besides cotton.

The Sumter County Sunday School
Association Booth.

The aim of this beautifully ar
ranged and varied exhibit is, among
other things, to arouse interest, en-
thusiasnl, and inspiration in better
Sunday school work and to provide
place for exchange Of ideas,
ideals, standards and methods, this
booth is educational, and coopera-
tive also.
Miss Abbie Bryan is the superin-
tcndcnt Of this booth, and her zeal
for and love of the work could not
help but make this department Of
the county fair an ideal feature in
many respects. The Sumter County
Sunday School is interdenomina
tional, and is doing a great work.
Last year at the fair a little girl,
one Of the carnival women's chill
dren came to the Sumter County
Sunday School booth and was
warmly welcomed by Miss Bryan
and the little girl was delighted
with what she saw. But she said
she had never been to Siesday
school nor heard Of Jesus. SS
Bryan told her stories of BibleH-
ture and took the little girl TO s.
day school and the little one Was
given her first impressions Of what
Sunday school is for. The Sumter
County Fair Association always
welcomes the Sumter county Sum-
day School Association to occupy
space at its fairs, and the entire
county benefits by the exhibits and
the work of this association.

Lewis and GomperS Are
Equally Confident That

Denver Colo, June 24,-Both
candidates-John L. Lewis and
Samuel Gompers-were equally
confident tonight that they would

up tonight one of the hottest polit-
ical campaigns ever waged in the
history of organized labor.
Throughout the day electioneer-
ing ragged on the floor of the con-
vention. Time and again the pro-
ceedings were interrupted by eau
cusing and gatherings of delegates.
Protests were made to President
Gompers that steps be taken to
keep order.
Once during the day President
Gompers warned organizers of the
federation to stay off the conven-
tion floor and not attempt to dc
any electioneering in connection
with the election of officers. He
also ruled that delegates must keep
their seats but this order was not
generally obeyed.
Rumors of all sorts floated
through the halls Of deals and
trades for votes.
The Lewis supporters claimed
that they had made gains and suf-
| ficient votes to elect the mine
workers chief by several thousand
majority, while the Gompers boom
ers asserted that the veteran labor
leader would win easily"

miners delegation threatened to de-
