BREAKS THE KOODOO. . ORANGEB?RG BEATS SUMTER IN THE SECOND GAME. In a Fast Game on Thursday After noon After Being Defeated on the Afternoon Before. Orangeburg broke the hoodoo by ?winning her first ^ame from Sumter yesterday afternoon, after losing to Sumter the afternoon before by er rors. Both games were good, the teams being pretty well matched. In the first game one wild throw to home from the field gave Sumter two s rnns and another wild throw to third gave her another run, and these three runs won her the game. The Orange hug team played well but in hard ? luck. The feature of the game was a home' run by Prim, which also brought in another run. Neither of the pitchers had much' advantage, if any, over the other. The. battery for Sumter was Garner and Stevens and the battery for Orangeburg was Aver ett and McCormick. The second game resulted in a victory for Orangeburg. Sumter only scored one run and at no time did she have the remotest chance of win ning. There was seme good fielding on both sides, but Orangeburg held Sumter down to one run while she scored three runs, sawyer for Or angeburg pitched a fine game, compeltely outclassing Ham, the Sum ter .pitcher, who left the box in the sixth inning, Lee taking his place. Neither side made a run after the . arth inning. Morris and Dingle made beautiful catqhes of line drives, both of which were heartily cheered. Mor ris' catch was very fortunate for Or angeburg, as it put out two men, which retired Sumter, preventing a man on third from .scoring. Ham was unmercifully swatted and we do not blame him for calling for help. The following is the score of Wed nesday's game: SUMTER.

A young white man by the name of Zeb Vaughn was arrested in this city and carried to Newberry by Sher iff M. N. Buford of that county to stand trial for misappropriating fui.ds entrusted to him by a cotton mill in Newberry. Vaughn is charged with securing forty dollars from the mill to take certain of his relatives from Orangeburg to Newberry to work in the mill. .Instead of using the money in this way Vaughn is charged with-using it for ihmself. Deputy Sheriff Dukes returned from Newberry on Tuesday with a young .white man named' Willie Ponell, who is charged with doing in Orangeburg what Vaughn is charg ed with doing in Newberry. Mrs. Vaughn, the mother-in-law of Vaughn, the mother-in-law of Vau ghn, charges that she got forty dol lars from the Orangeburg Manufac turing Company nad entrusted it to Ponell to go to Newberry . and ship some of , her furniture from that place to Orangeburg and arrange some other matters up there. Instead of doing as directed Ponell is charg ed with appropriating the money in trusted to him by his mother-in-law to his own use. Bonell and Vaughn are brothers in-law, and it. semms that they were using the same family of people to get money on from the mills. These young m*h have been committed to jai to await trial. This is a sad case, and these young men will find this way of raising money will not pay. They will find hard labor more.hon orable and profitable in the end. : SCHOOL CLOSING.

Miss Ethel Evans has the honor of receiving the first Diploma issued by the Bowman Graded school, which was presented by Prof. Rast with a few remarks appropriate to the oc casion. Crops are poor and way behind and your correspondent can't see how they can ever catch up to any thing like the usual normal condition by June the loth or even later. The sun will have to shine "mighty hard" and the nights "real warm" in order to make cotton shed its "pessum leaves" and put on new life. Plant ing, by the way, is not yet finished, and when one considers for a mo ment how corn is soaring up in price, would it not have been wise to have put some of the land in corn that was replanted in cotton. It is really shameful to see load after load of corn and hay hauled out on farms day by day to be paid for in most in stances by the little "pessum land cotton" standing here and there over the fields. Is it profitable to make cotton to buy corn and hay at the present prices? This correspondent saw a rickety wagon with two skeleton mules hit ched thereto go out of town recently loaded with several sacks of corn, a couple bales of hay and about six darkeys also in the wagon some; eat ing peanuts others had paper bags of "store bread" all but the poor mules seemingly haopy and contented. These Wrae people could have gath ered quantities of goon crab grass hay out of their so-cai'.ed "cotton farms," which by th? way mad-? more grass than cotton and practically no corn at all. This is a picture that is not overdrawn and the like can he seen in many places. Debts are about as hard or harder to pay now than when cotton was fetching from G to S cents per pound, but that 10 cent cotton made people wild and it will likely bo some little while before they will get tame again. Dund-.H'. Escai>ed Convict Captured. The Brancbville Journal says: "Tuesday morning berore daylight a convict boarded an engine that was standing near the "y" on the Augusta side and helped himself to the en gineer's suit case with about forty dollars worth of clothing in it, chang ed his clothing for the engineer's, put his stripes in the suit case and left it near the scene of the robbery. He was caught the next day by Con ductor Murdon at St. Matthews, and brought back here. He was identi fied as "Picture," a well-known char acter who once loafed around hero. "Picture" says that he only served nine months out of tnree years, and "beat" a freight to Brancbville with double shackles on. He was serving on the Charleston county chain gan? and will be taken back there." Banks Will Close. On and after today all (In- city banks will close at two o'clock in stead of three as has been the cus tom except on Satuday, when thev will remain open until three o'clock, This is the usual summer schedule adopted by the banks so as their hard worked officers can have a little time off during the hot weather. Will Compete lor Prize. Mr. James M. Moss, who is one of the best and most successful farmers In this section of the State, will com pete for the prize offered by the Agriculturist for the greatest yield of cotton on an acre of land.

Farmers Cooperating With Agricul tural Department oh Selected Areas to Stimulate Effort on All. s Congrssman Lever has recently re ceived a letter from S. A. Knapp, spe cial agent in charge of Farmer's Co operative Demonstration work, stat ing that the Department of Agricul ture has started the work in the 7th Congressional district, South Caro lina, and that they hope to do a great deal more next year. Fifteen demonstration farms and ninety co operative farms have been establish ed in Lexington county; thirty-five demonstration and ten cooperative in Richland county; ten demonstration and forty cooperative in Orangeburg, and five demonstrative and twenty co operative in Calhoun. Dr. Knapp in his letter said, "A valuable practical feature of this work is that all the field agents are Southern men and residents in the States in which the demonstrations are made. They know the peopie and the conditions." Dr. Knapp has very briefly outlined what is to be accomplished by this Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration work in the following: "The object of the work is primar ily to greatly increase the net earn ings of the average farmer, by the improvement.of the soil, by the use of the best seed and by the adoption of better and more economic methods on the farm. ? j j "This is accomplished by farm de monstrations of an acre or more made by a farmer in every neighborhood, if possible, under instructions from our central office and supervised by field agents, who visit these demon strations monthly. "Thus the crop on an acre under the best management is contrasted In every neighbornood with the crop of the average farmer. The effect Is immediate and the results are as tonishing, "In 1903 th first cooperative farm was established at Tarreil, Texas, and the farmer, W. C. Porter, was guaranteed by the citizens against lost, if any should occur in following the department instructions. The work was a success. "From this small beginning thf Farmers' Cooperatice Demonstration work has increased in five years from one locality to ten States, and from one field agent to 141, from one farm to thirty two thousand directly in structed and possibly half a million aided through observation. "The funds appropriated by Con gress are used only in boll weevil in fested territory: to wit, Texas, Louis iana, Oklahoma, Arkansas and one district in Southwestern Mississippi. Cooperative Demonstration w ork In the remainder of Misssippi, Alabama, Georgia and the two Carolinas and Virginia is done by funds from other than government sources. The great value of this work is shown by the successful production of cotton by the average farmer under boll wee vil infestion. "Our instructions are also directed to the more profitable production of the standard crops, because rotation is necessary to he best success in cotton production. "Aside from the demonstrations, the educational features of the work consists mainly in reducing the science of agriculture to a few prac tical problems, easily understood by the common farmer, as the following: Better drainage of the soil; a deeper and better seed bed; more humus; the best seed; thorough tillage; more horspower and better toois; more and better farm stock; these are taught by letters, circulars, lectures and de monstrations. "The cooperative feature of our work gives to it elasticity and ad justment to conditions. Farmers co operate in furnishing land and work ing the demonstration. "Bankers and merchants cooperate in furnishing, free of cost, the best seed for the demonstrations and in refusing to advance less the tenant works the crop under our instruc tions. '"Business men's clubs and boards of trade organize farm demonstra tions under our agents and pay all expenses. The Business Men's Club of Helena, Ark., has 1,000 such farms. The Farmers' unions are giv ing great assistance by organizing de monstration farms in cooperation with us. "Some 2,000 women in the South are organized in clubs lor the better ment of the conditions o f rural homes. They are actively assisting us by urging the general adoption of our demonstration work. "These women are practical and urge not only greater earning capac ity* for the farmer, but greater econ omy and more comforts in the home. .Miss Mary T. Nance, president of the Women's Clubs of South Carolina, for rural improvement, has been largely instrumental in organizing this ef fective work. ? County superintendents of public instruction are organizing boys' clubs oa a large scale. The superintendent does the work free of charge. The boys demonstrate on their father's farms. The public gives suitable prizes. Our department furnishes seed and instructions. "In addition, our agents visit the rural schools when invited, (and this is almost universal), and instruct the boys in demonstrations." It is thus seen that this work is doing a great deal of good through out the South, and with more Tiberal appropriations by Congress in the future this work will greatly aid to bring the South b ack to the top of il <? ladder where she was before the war, and to which she Is now taking great strides. * READ OVER THE LIST.
