Confederate Pensions.

Judge of Probate Thos. E. Rich
ardson states that he will be ready to
issue checks to Confederate pension
ers as soon as a warrant for the mon
ey arrives from Columbia. There are
two hundred names upon the Sum-
ter county roll and the board has di-
vided them into three classes: There
are rs in class "a" who will get $50
each: 81 in class "B,'' who will get
s4730 each, and 2S in class ''C'' to
whom S23.64 each has been assigned.
Some counties are apparently making
a better showing than this. but it all
depends upon the number in class
"A" to whom the largest amounts are
assigned.
BY this mornings paper we see
that the Judge Of probate in Charles
ton county will begin to issue checks
to pensioners on Monday morning,

A Lavender and Rose Edging

Dwarf ageratum and the . dwarf
bedding petunia Rosy Morn form one
Of the most pleasing color effects foa
solid beds that can be planted. The
lavender and rose conbination3is al
ways harmonious and both are sheet
of bloom from early in the summer
until frost.
Both are easily raised from seed.
They should be planted foot apart
or even as close at eight inches, the
agertums standing closer planting
than the petunias because Of the COM
pactness Of their growth.
The lobelias of the dwarf compact
types give sheets of deep glowing blue
or lighter shades and their nlyriads OF
tiny flowers. almost hide the plants.
Another pretty little blue annual
for edgings is the Swan River daisy,
Brachyone.
The portulaca or rose moss is an
annual that will give show of flow
ers during the entire season. Its tiny
silvery seeds need only, to be sprinkleo

This plant will not germinate until the
temoerature suits it, but there need be
no worry about it for it will appear II

cellent edging. It should be thinneo
to at least six inches apart and IN a
short time it will cover the soil. II

Police Dots.

Ernest Ford, negro boy who was
released from the county jail on BOND
on April 18th. again faced Record er
Hardy in police court this morning.
Ford had been placed in jail and w3s
awaiting trial at the next term of
court for the breaking in and the
theft Of goods from the D. J. Chardl-
er Clothing Co.
Ford's sentence this morning read
$50 or 80 days for each Of the t:fo
charges of vagrancy and gambling.
After the expiration Of his term Oh
the gang, his papers will all be fixe:2
for few more additional charges,
for the circumstances under which
he was arrested yesterday afternoon
can surely not be accounted to als
good name. Ford was arrested by
gan after being found under buit:l-
ing in the rear of the express office.
The police department had been no
tilted earlier in the afternoon by the
proprietor of the Cash Dry Goods
store that an attempt had been mad3
to break into that store. AS it hap
pcned the proprietor was in the
store at the time this thief chose 20
make his haul and heard him as ne
worked at the rear window. The
thief was frightened away when the
proprietor opened the rear door Of
the store and made good his escape
on a bicycle which he had purpose
ly placed close at hand. His coat and
hat. which he had removed before go
ing to work, on the window, were
found close by and these We're iden-
tilted by tho police as the property
Of Ernest Ford. Later on in the at
ternoon Ernest Ford was again in the
back lot looking for the coat and hat
and when arrested at about s o'clock
on Sunday afternoon was found to be
without these two articles of clothing.
When asked about them he stated
that he had pawned them to a negro
boy but was unable to give the name
OF the alleged boy. Ford had done
good work on the window before his
work was discovered. The blinds had
been pried open, the sash taken out
Of the window and huge lump Of
coal placed between the inner iron
hars OF the window.

its business interests should attend.
So important did these forty citi-
zens consider this meeting. that by
unanimous resolution it was decided
nat we would ask the mayor of the

TOR the balance of the Gay SO that all
Sumter city business Interests might
attend, and at o'clock in the day so
that all the county's business men
and women might conveniently at

ment, etc" but that all Of US stick to
the problem until something tangible
and effective be worked out, even II
it takes all summer.
Ny fellow citizens, the business in

The Precouious Cucumber.

Many gardeners complain OF hav-
ing no luck growing cucumbers: 1t
must be admitted that the life his
pestuous one for it is subject to more
kinds of bugs bhghts and myster-
ious ailments than any other plant III
the vegetable garden except its close
relatives, the squashcs and melons.
An early start with cucumbers is
one way to get the better OF some Of
the troubles. AS the cucumber can
not be transplanted with any degree
ur success it has to be treated a little
differently from the ordinary vege-
table The seeds should be sown edge.
wise in individual pots about the mid
die of April. Paper pots sold by any
seed house are satisfactory, as they
are cheap and unfold away from the
ball of earth so the plant may be
transplanted without disturbing the
roots
With running start, tho plant is
better able to- withstand the early at
tacks of beetles and can be sprayed
readily or busted with some Of the
common insecticides sold for the
purpose.
The cucumber needs light soil
and if the soil is heavy it should be
lightcned by mixing in sifted ashes or
sand. 1t also likes a couple Of fork
fuls Of meanure buried beneath it to
furnish fertility and hold moisture.
for with it's liking for light soil it also
likes moisture, a combination hard
to arrange in the ordinary garden.
Granted that the cucumber -four
ishes and escapes The ravages of in
sects which an industrious gardener
should be able to control, it often fails
to produce enough cucumbers to pay
for the energy devoted to it In most
cases a precocious infant is to blame.
Often the first blossoms will produce
a fruit far in advance Of the others.
The strength Of the plant is thrown
to this solitary "cnke" and the rest
fail to get start. If precocious
cucumber appears before there are
any further signs Of fruits forming,
pick it off.
