Camden Downs Sumter In First Football Came (Saturday'* KuMiter Item) A hard driving team from Camden High school walked rough?h(pJ uvor hi- Suint< i (iamc?o< krt Friday uf.ter* 1.00/1 in ilic Iir.st football game of the pt'UM'/i fyi the local high school. The final score was 2 1 to U, the Camdenite* pushing nvi-i four totji hdowna, hut tailing to make a -ingle extra * point allot goal. In comparison with the visiting ele\?n Sumter eemed woefully weak, hut on several occasions possessed enough fight to hold ('anuli u for down s when touchdowns seemed urlun. Sumter never even got to < amtit n goal line and until tiie last "in ate ol play ha<I not scored a first dow A lorwartl pass from Baldwin to niiitard Heath went lot I o yards and >u niter's lone first down just hall .1 minute before the final whistle. Camden has a fas.t and powerful ha klield comhinutiori this year and tin- hue is also good. Seldom were the Sumter forwards ahle to hold Cninphell, It'O-pound fullback, a sub.-tan'iul gain resulting almost every time this lad took the ovah Woolen, K., Chewning and Haynes, the othei members of the hacklield, while not as heavy as Campbell, were fast ami unstoppable on end runs ami off tackle drives. One man on Sumter's team stood out above tin* other ten men, showing more light ami making more tackles from start to finish. Quintan! Heath, playing tight end,'looked like a real loot hall player, hi a work being almost the only redeeming feature of Sumter's listless plav. lime after time he either pushed a J linnet out of hounds or broke through the interference to make the tackle.] Scaffe, at right tackle, showed spurts of brilliance, but his play was nut consistent. In the back field Baldwin 1 showed up best, but at times Frel Ilealh and Harrison did some good work. * ? ( amden ran up the impressive total of 2*2 first downs, and this compared with tin- one made by Sumter just about demonstrates the visitors' superiority. ( amden kicked off to start the I giime, hut after one play Sumter ' punted and the big parade was on. 1 itteen yards were reeled off on the. : hi st two plays, a thrust off guard and a sweep.ng end run.

Frank Brigman, white, is held in the Chesterfield county jail, charged with murder, having, a? cording to witnesses shot his wife without apparent cause, yesterday afternoon at their home near the Seaboard depot here. The '-loner's inquest last night developed that .Mrs. Brigman and her sister'-ni-Jaw, Mrs. Willie Brigman, who was spending the afternoon with her, had been doing the family wash and wore sitting in the house talking. According to reports, Brigman, who was at home, asked his wife for his shells. She said' she did not have them, lie suid she had them and he would "put an end to it right now." When in- took uj> iiis gun the two women rail in opposite directions and J Brigman shot his wife in the hack of the head and the left shoulder. She ran into a neighbor's house with her hah> in her arms and putting the bab> on a bed, said, "Frank -hot me." She then ran into the next room, say- 1 ing, "Do something, I'm gone," and fell. A doctor and a policeman were im- j uu'diutt ly called. She .was uncoil- ! -cious when the doctor arrived. She j | breathed about two minutes and died. Several witnesses heard the shot iand saw Brigman with the gun. Ofl liter Crowley who arrested Brigman, ' asked him why he killed his wife. | He merely said she had been nagging j j at him and act using him of doing J (everything imaginable and he could(stand it no longer. He was carried to the Chestertiel^Ljail. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Mrs. Brigman.came to her death from gunshot wounds at the hands of Frank Brigman. She leaves two small children less than five years old. . - ' A New Jersey farmer flagged a passenger train with a burlup bag and saved the train from being de- ! railed by a break in the rails.

Florida Everglades hi Class to Itself Jacksonville, Fla4, Sept. 21.-?Perhaps in all the world there in no other body <>i land, on #uch an extensive hciiJi*, (fiai even closely resembles the Ploruiuy everglades, so recently swept b> the fury of a devastating West In.ban hurricane. <io?Mary to a general impression, the eve- glades is not a huge jung! > of swamp land and impenetrable forests. In fact, except in some sections on l.ake Okeechobee, there are few t;ei in be seen, it is hard to imagine -inn a large expanse of such level .ntour, One can stand in the midn < of the everglades and as far as the horizon on either side, there may be nothing in sight hut an unbroken stretch of saw grass. A scant score of years ago, this alluvial section was unreclaimed except by the Seminole Indians and a few straggling settlers who eked a livelihood, mainly at fishing und fanning. I Through irrigation this fertile area has become a land where prosperity reigns. In its restricted sense the everglades extend south to Lake Okeechobee, nearly .'J,000,"UU acres of it to the sea. Thriving truck farms and contented villages abound in the area where the storm broke with its greatest fury. It was down in this saw grass country with its "custard apple" soil, so cull.ed bacau.se of the perennial bloom of the custard apple trees in some of its area, that hundreds died and countless others lost their all. There has been some fear expressed fur the safety of the Seminole 1 Indians in their reservations. To those familiar with the habits ' of the tribe, however, this possibility of great loss of life seems somewhat remote. When the saw grass blooms, in the minds of the Indians, danger is impending. They wait not for word from the white man to tell them, because Manitou has forewarned them before of any possible disaster. So when the saw grass blooms, like it is said to have done just before the recent hurricane, Chief Billy Bowlegs sends his people into the higher ground. So far no villages of the -Seminoles have been reported as even seen since the last hurricane. If only the reformer would labor, among those who need it instead of scolding people already somewhat better than he is.- Roanoke WorldNews. 1 J ij Mi-s Mary Lauder, fiancee of (teiic'j Tunney, retired heavyweight pugilist! jhampion, sailed from New York on'; Saturday night for Kuropo.

Beware Nursery "ARents" Clemspn College, To guard against swindlers calling themselves nursery, salesmen, the South Carolina Crop Pest Commission requires that every dealer or agent in nursery stoca shall have on his person a valid dealer's or agent's certificate issued by the Commission and signed by the state entomologist and the state patholo- I gist, says .J.
