Scores Two Touchdowns in
Interesting Game

In one of the most interesting
football games of the season which
was played on the athletic field OF
Morris college Thursday afternoon
between that college and State Col
lege of Orangeburg, State College
was the victor by score Of Ia to
0. This game was a very creditable
exhibition and a great deal Of praise
is due the team turned out by Nor
ris College as this is the first year
that this school has attempted to
put team in the field and this was
their second game. The team was
made up of green material entire
ly,- only one man having played be-
fore. Coach Pinson deserves great
praise for the showing made as he
only had, five weeks in which to
mold his team into shape. There
was quite a goodly number of spec
tators present at the game and the
interest manifested was at all times
at high ebb.

the friends of the contracting par

ceremony of the Lutheran church.
In the living room where the

corner Of the room in front of a
green background had been arrang-
ed an arbor Of smilax, with an
arched front artistically draped
with moss and outlined with hun
dreds Of white chrysanthemums,
while yellow chrysanthemums
studded the background of ferns
and smilax Under this beautiful
arch, in the presence of relatives

Death.

e Nj. George W. Reardon died
at 8 O'clock Saturday morning at his
home on Reardon avenue after a
long illness, due to the infrmities
Of advanced age.
A friend contributes the follow
ing biographical facts and perconal
tribute to Mr. Reardon:
George W. Reardon was born in
County Kerry, Ireland. 80 years
ago. He came to America at the
age CT 10 years, settling in Law
renee, Mass, with his father, moth
er and several brothers. He came
to Sumter as a young man so years
ago. He served in the Army Of the
Confederacy. He was for number
Of years one Of the leaders in city
and county in official and politi-
caIactivities. He was Intendent of
Sumter for two terms and a warden
Of the town for eight years. He
was Clerk of Court for twelve
years, prior to 1875. and postmas-
ter for four years. He served in
several other capacities as a feder-
al appointee. Mr.. Reardon during
his sixty years residence in this
city took an unusual interest in
public affairs, even after retiring
from active business as a merchant
and from public office he carried
into his declining years a love of
his adopted country and in his
county and city an abiding interest.
He stood for the best Of education
al facilities, good roads and streets
and for progress and patriotism. He
was a devout member and officer
of Saint Anne's Roman Catholic
church of Sumter. His entire life
was one Of upright and honorable
Christian example, and he number
ed his friends by the thousands. He

ter. and Mrs. Eugene Pagan OF
Chicago, two sons George w.
Reardon, Jr., Of Baltimore and f.
I. Reardon of Sumter. and numer-
Gus grandsons and grand daught-
ers. A sad feature Of this good

Farming Program
Schedule of Crops Recon-
mended For Boil Weevil
Conditions

After careful consideration.
the following schedule of crops
for an average 1one-horse crop
! has been agreed upon, and is
recommended for use under
i boil weevil conditions. It is
intended, of course, that each
individual farmer shall make
such minor changes as the
needs of his farm require. The
number of acres of the given
crops and the number Of cows,
sows and poultry, should be
multiplied by the number of
acres in your farm.
The acreage and estimated

Cotton in.
Sumter County
Total Ginnings to November
18th 1871


There was an error in the cotton
ginners' report for Sumter county
issued by the census bureau for
ginnings as Of November 14th. The
published report credited Sumter
county with more than $4,000 bales.
The correct figures are 1871 bales.
This report. compares with 41,649
for the same date 1920. The re-
port this year includes cotton gin
ned in the Pinewood section which
was included in Clarendon county
in. 1920. The Pinewood section
ginned approximately 1000 bales
this year, therefore a correct COM
parison for Sumter county on this
basis of last year would be 1871
compared with 1850.

Residence and Store Destroyed by
Fire.

A single story dwelling house and
adjoining store building situated
on the corner Of Dingle street and
Salem Avenue was destroyed by
fire Saturday morning. The build
ings We're the property Of Mr.. r.
L. Scurry, the store being occupied
by Mr.. Tom Jones who was oper-
ating a small meat market.
The fire was discovered by Mr..
Scurry at about 2:30 a. M, when
he was awakened by the falling of
portion Of the roof Of the house.
The entire roof was even then
ablaze. Mr.. Scurry says that by
the time he had succeeded in
awakening his family that one
means of escaping from the house
was blocked by the flames and that
he was forced to go around through
the hallway and out by the back
door, One of the little boys was
the last to be gotten Of the house
and this little fellow narrowly es-
capped being burned.
The burning buildings were too
far gone to be redeemed from the
flames after the arrival of the fire
department but the house Of Mr..
j. p. White, next door to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Scurry, was saved.
The roof of Mr. Whites house had
caught but the flames We're soon
eXtinguished. Two lines of hose
were used in connection with the
pump on Truck No. /, and very
good water pressure was obtained
from the hydrant on the corner Of
Salem and Oakland Avenues.
The property of Mr.. Scucry was
valued at $4,000. Insurance was
carried covering $1,000 losses.

One of the most unusual state

recent issue of the Fountain Inn

in Greenville county, whose editor.
Robert Quillen is the author
Of Small Town Talk" in the Sat

"Of all hard jobs in the world,
that Of making public confession
is the hardest. But if it is the
only square thing to do, it must be
dune. This, therefore, is al open
letter to the young fellows of Foun-
tain Inn-the good fellows the fell
lows I love and loaf with at times
the fellows I have taken drinks
with and fellowshipped with.
''All this while I have been a
member of the church-just that
and nothing more. And when my
conscience bothered me about tax
ing drink when I could get it.
said to myself: "Why, I am a lib
eral supporter Of the church; I pay
the 1.-THE; 1 am a gentleman and a
man of intelligence; there's no
harm in my taking drink, when |
want it, for can handle it,

And while posing as church mem
Der and a follower Of Christ and
yet reserving the right to take a
drink at my pleasure was cons!d-

"This is bitter dose to swallow,
fellows. but I had it coming to me.
And Il my conduct has led any OF
you to believe that a man can re-
tain his honor while carrying water
on both shoulders, want to make
it clear that it's an impossibility.

"I'm ashamed, fellows. Forgive
me for not having been square.
