BASEBALL AT
SJJMMERTON
Sumter Team Yictors by
Score of 3 to 2

In very fast and exciting game
of baseball the Sumter Strutters
defeated the heavy Summerton nine
in Summterton Tuesday by the
score of 80.
The features of the game were
the excellent pitching Of Nunna-
maker and the perfect support of
Wright behind the bat, and for
SumInerton Epperson at short
played good ball, while Briggs
showed himself worthy of the first
sack.
The Sumter boys succeeded in OBJ
tanning eleven hits off Martin, OF
which sMooneyham has the credit
of three. while Nunnamaker only
allowed two, striking out twenty
one men.

Solmons presented to the public
library of Sumter the 1922 edition
of The Lucky Bag. the annual Of

newspaper comment. The volume
may be seen at the public library.

It will be a matter of general
interest to know that one hundred
and twenty-five books were taken
out OF the library yesterday after
noon. This does not include any
of the new books that have been
recently added. They will have to
be carefully catalogued before they
can be given out. The fact. how
ever. that one hundred and twenty
FIVE books were taken out in one

BOIL WEEVn SITUATION REsTATED

can be made by any farmer who
follows: the simple directions fur
nished upon application. The OBJ
ject is to keep the cotton thor
oughly busted until the weevils are
under control. II. weeviIs should
become sufficiently numerous to
severely injure the young bolls, one
or two more applications late in
the season should be made. In
case of a heavy rain within twenty
four (24) hours after busting, the
application should be repeated inn
mediately.
After all, weather conditions
during July and August will have
more to do with cotton production
in South Carolina than any poison
ing program: If these months are
hot and dry comparatively little
weevil damage will be sustained
regardless Of what method of
poisoning was used and even If
none is practiced. On the other
hand, if weather conditions are adj
verse, poisoning with calcium ar
senate dust in strict accordance
with government specifications will,
we believe, give the largest money
returns.
Later the Extension Service
will begin its annual campaign for
the early p1owing under of stalks.
the destruction of the weevils'
hibernating quarters, thes planting
of winter cover crops, and the saw
ing and use of early maturing va
rieties Of seed: These are most
important measures in the control
OF the weeil for next year.

Presentment Of Grand Jury.
Honorable John s. Wilson, Presid
ing Judge. Summer Term:

Honorable John S. Wilson, Presid-
ing Judge, Summer Term:
We have considered all bills. Of
Indictment handed us by the solici-
tor, and returned them to the
court with our findings endorsed
thereon.
The reports Of committees on
Public Buildings and Pu b &c
Works appointed at the Spring
term are attached hereto and made
part of this presentment.
The committee on Roads and
Bridges report the highways in
bad condition, and that much
work. is needed upon them. The
grand jury has heretofore forbid
den the infliction OF, corporal pun
ishment upon chaingang prisoners.
We learn that this rule has re-
suited in 2slackening Of effort on
the part of these prisoner laborers;
and the. character and quantity of
work has deteriorated. We are not
disposed to advise anything that
would be cruel or unreasonab bic.
On the other hand, we realize the
necessity of maintaining discipline
and enforcing reasonable require
ments, by ths County Supervisor,
overseer, and guards. We would
therefore, request your Honor to
instruct these officers concerning
their duty and authority in the
premises SO that they may exercise
that authority within the limits of
the law, and with due regard for
humane treatment of prisoners.
We find the roads and bridges
much in need of repairs, as stated
above. The unusual rainfall is
largely responsible for that condi-
ton. We have no suggestions to
offer, other than more work and
better work by the supervisor and
his forces. This we think will be
realized by the proper enforcement
of discipline, and the increase of
laborers from the present term Of
court. The officers in charge are
willing and anxious to make a good
showing, ana we nope TO report
improvement in our next present
ment
The Finance Committee cannot
pow complete its report, because
the annual settlement between the
comptroller general and county
treasurer has not yet been made.
This duty will be performed at the
earliest possible moment, and for
that purpose the committee is con-
tinued. This report will be pre-
sented at the fall term of court. =.
The grand jury desires to thank
Your Honor. and other officers Of
the Court for their valuable as
sistance in all matters coming be-
fore the grand jury.
Respectfully submitted,
Z. H. RHAME, Foreman.
