High school Gamecocks continued j their victory march by blanking a j gamely fighting Camden High ^ le v en J here yesterday afternoon. The final j score was to 0, Sumter scoring a| touchdown in the first quarter and adding two more in the fourth. The Gamecocks were outplayed in the second and third quarters when Camden made her greatest bid. The purple-jersicd visitors, however, pre-j senled a stonewall defease w hen their j go t 1 line was in danger, turning back j the deHjx'rate charges of the C amden J backs with a splendid display of defensive football. The Gamecocks rang up their first j counter midway of the first quarter, j Taking the ball on their own 30-yard Une after an exchange of punts, the! Sumter boys drove 70 yards without a halt for the touchdown. Chewning went seven around end and then made it a first, flayer, added by nice interference, skirted end fot nine yards and added three more on the next play. Player added seven more and Chewning made it another first. Player lost four yards on an ent^ run, but on tfhe next play stepped back and flipped the ball over the line of scrimmage to Chewning who wriggled his way for a gain of 15 yards, putting the ball on the Camden ^Tlvard stripe. Player then added seven yards and. Chewning, on the ntA play, took th^ ball on a pass back (t-Vhe line of scrimmage and sidestepped his way through a swarm of ta' klers to cross the goal line standing up. Player added the extra point with a placekick and Sumter was leading, 7 to 0. ?> The remainder of the first half was indecisive, with neither team being able to gain consistently. The third quarter was all in Camden'* fav6r, the locals chalking up four first downs to none for Sumter. A couple of penalties against the Gamecocks, however, aided Camden materially. Flowers, husky end and captain of the Camden eleven, was the best ground gainer for the locals, coming around from his position to, take the ball on sweeping end runs) that seldom failed to produce yardage. ?Suniter held and Camden was forced to punt as the third quarter end< 1. the Gamecocks coming into pos-c-.-ion of the ball on their own 25 yard -tripe. Sumter went into action on a big scale as the fourth period opened. Apparently in better condition than tie Camden players, the Gamecocks, -tooii up \c< ! 1 under the terrib.o heat, flayer opened the tinal quarter by ,-k.rtir.g end fur 20 yards and nearly ge't;ng clean away. finally being f.o. ed out of bound-, ("hewnr.g then skipped around end for 15 art i added 2o more'on hi- next try to place the, hall on ' amden'* 2" yard marker, j flayer then hammered h:v way j through for 12 yards. On the next play flayer drove through to the one-yard line and went over for Sumter'. second touchdown on the next try. The placekick for extra point was wide of the mark, putting the score at 13 to 0 for Sumter. Soon after this Sumter recovered a Camden fumble on the local's 40yard stripe and quickly drove over for the third and final touchdown. Watts went in for Chewning, who had played a beautiful 'game and earned a rest. Player, Watts and Goodson joined forces to drive down the field to the 10 yard line, flayer then stepped back and sailed a perfecv pas* to Goodson who received the ball in the end zone for the third touchdown. A pass for the 'extra point wa* knocked down and the game ended a minute later with Sum- j ter the victor, l'J to 0. First downs were fairly even. Sunt- > ter being credited with 12 to 0 for Ca md?n.

HIS HIGHEST PRAISE Most of those wljo estimate Greenville's I os in the death of Charles A. I>av a! will estimate it in terms of his ability as a cartoonist and a writer. Greenville's loss is greater than that of a cartoonist and writer, it is a loss of Greenville's most lovable cit;7.en. It is far harder to be as lovable a citizen a.s Charles A. David than to equal him as a cartoonist or writer. His real ambition in life was to be, like Abou ben Adhem, one who loved his fellow men. Among such, in Greenville, his name "led all the rest." We may never look upon his like again. The writer knew him intimately for several decades and never heard him make an unkindly reference to another human being. What higher praise could be accorded him 1?Greenville Observer. To Small Farmers Of Kershaw County The county committee and county agent, of Kershaw County are doing everything in their power to have the gin allotment increased for farmers of Kershaw County, especially for the small farmer who is allowed to gin only a very small part of the cotton he produced this year, 'lhe cotton crop in Kershaw County has turned out unusually good even though it looked like it would be disastrous for a while during the spring due to excessive rains 'and then drought. If the little farmers knew the truth about the situation they would realize that the county committee and I have fought harder for them than for any other class of people in the county and the scandalous falsehoods whispered around by unscrupulous men telling, the little farmers that their contracts were cut by me in Older to raise contracts of big farmers are absolutely false, groundless, and libelous and all I ask these-cowards wh<> told these untruths is that they prove just one case, just one. If Kershaw County had suffered a poor cotton crop production this year, we would have had gin tickets to sell and then our people would have rejoiced in their situation. The gin tickets which were issued under the terms of their contracts served in a manner as insurance carried and paid for by the government because these gin tickets have value. Who knows but what next year might place us in the position that the farmers of Texas and Oklahoma and Arkansas are in this season? We are trying in 2 ways to relieve the condition of farmers with more cotton than they have tickets to gin. First, we are making a desperate ef-<, fort to secure as large a share as possible of the federal reserve. The results from this effort look very encouraging for our county at this time. Second, we are making an effort to purchase gin certificates at a much cheaper price than is now being quoted. The result of this effort is not sure, but our farmers can rest as- j sured that we are doing everything j possible for their best interest. All I ask our farmers, both small ' and large, is that they think for themselves and not be hoodwinked i and misled by demagogues who would I use them as tools and agents to further their personal ambitions. It is high time that our farmers were sticking together and cooperating with their agricultural leaders and not allow outsiders with ulterior motives to cause the farmers to defeat themselves by injecting unnecessary and unwarranted dissention in our farmers' activities, for our farmers' own good it behooves them to find out the truth, stick together, and c<?opeiate with their county agent month an ever before. I wish that whenever someone tells you of a case of favoritism, of bad treatment from my, offi o. that you would bring the mail tilling you this 'straight to my office and make him face the records ami the facts requests Henry I). CJicen, County Agent. Negro Kills Brother; Family Row Is Cause On last Sunday afternoon around six o'clock Chester Mickle, 23, and his brother, Henry Mickle, 18, became involved in a family row. Chester picked up a board and hit his brother Henry over the head with such force that he was knocked unconscious and died early Monday morning. These boys are sons of Belton Mickle. respectable colored farmer of the .Salt Pond section of West Wateree. It was broiifcht out at the Coroner'. inquest that it was purely a family quarrel as testified to by I>a\ id Lyle, E. D. Mickle and Hattie Lee as witnesses. The jury rendered the verdict that "the deceased met death at the hands of his brother. Chester Mickle." He is being held for trial. Armadillo Caught In Newberry Swamp Newberry, Sept. 29.?An animal entirely new to these parts wacaught by a party of Negro 'possum hunters in the dense swamps of Little River Thursday nigh;. From dictionary description the animal was an armidiwo. resembling closely illustrations of the animal found in a!! the dictionaries. The animal was hrought to the city Friday and viewed by many citizens, some declaring :t was a muskrat. However, the animal was plainly of the armidill" family, of which there are many types and there is much speculation a.s to how it came to he in this country as it is native to the tropics but is known in some parts of Texas. The Negro hunters said the animal was as fleet as a rabbit and that their dogs dug it out a hole. It was J killed with an axe when it attempted to escape. The Negroes reported that their dogs could do nothing with the hard shelled "enter."

Hog Cholera Season Nears Man^f hogs have died in the past in Kershaw County due to neglect of their owners to have them immunized against hog > cholera. Anyone interested in having their hogs or pigs treated will please notify the countyagent. Also those interested in studying the subject may secure a government bulletin on hog cholera from the county agent's office. The season is near at hand when hog cholera will be more prevalent and it is necessary that action be taken at once if the hogs and pigs are to be saved from this deadly disease. With the market price of hogs on the upward trend, farmers should safe guard them from disease, particularly cholera. The cost of serum and virus has been reduced in recent years and immunization is still a sound investment. While hog cholera losses have been comparatively light for the past year, infection still exists and as a rule becomes active durthe fall months. One outbreak of eholera may spread the disease to an entire neighborhood if the hogs are not properly immunized advises Henry D. Green, County Agent. Emergency Worker Tells Of Her Work After beginning this work as an assistant worker in Kersnaw county, I found among n^y club members many who were mothers and some expectant, all of whom knew so little about the care of the infant. In visiting the churches and homes in the county I found babies not more than three months old dressed in gay colors made of stiff materials. Their napkins were of flesh towels or other coarse materials, all of which was very uncomfortable for the child. Almost all of them wore no shoes. Some of them wove wraps made of gay striped outing. I could see at once the problem that was before me as many of the women had already begun to tell me of their babies' illness. I started work at once. In my firat discussion I dealt with the feeding' of the infant, taking in everything necessary to promote growth and health; including the proper diet for the expectant mother. In the health discussion the question of sanitation came up and one couldn't very \^U speak of sanitation without stressing the importance of screening, not only for the babies' sake but for the sake of the whole family. Therefore as a demonstration the women were taught to make durable screens from onion sacks. Our next problem to be solved was the clothing. Mothers were taught the use of Soft, white materials and the advantage in using it. We used for demonstrating sugar sacks which, after laundering, were very soft and white. I now see many desirable changes as the result of my work. In visitj ing the homes and churches I find the | babies are seldom found sickj few are 'found in gay colors or coarse materials and almost all of them are wearing shoes made by our shoe pattern. And best of all, they are being cared for by mothers who have learned something about their care anu its importance. In our March meeting I talked with the women about raising products for the market. I was able to get for our use an empty store in the busy j section of our town ?just an ideal place for the market. The Club ! members were now very interested as (this was a plan by which they would 1 be able to make some extra money, j Quite a number of them had been ; and were selling their products up and down the streets taking whatever they could get for them, which was very little. It was made very clear to them that in order to have a good mapket they must product the best. The opening of the market was advertised and 01 the ^Saturday we opened six families brought in their products, vegetables, eggs and a fewchickens. The chicken crop was somewhat short. The peoplg were all pleased with their sales and the weeks ?v that followed more things were brought in. Things .went well in the market until thP drought came [ which burned most of the gardens up. ! Few folks continued to bring things | in and much time was given to the 1 raising of poultry. With our fall gardens started it is our hope that our market will continue to grow.? Jennie Carter, Colored Emergency Assistant Worker. Adolf Hitler addressed 700,000 farmers Sunday at Hamelin, Germany, telling them of the benefits due to Nazi programs. He received little applause. A sheriff's posse shot and captured John Wells near Kankakee, 111., after he had shot a turnkey, escaped from the county jail and stole two cars on the highways. " .mw-m-w mmm Continue Planting For The Winter Clemson College, Oct. J.?For a good winter garden, plantings of various vegetables mykst be made in October, BaystfkaaE. SaKiUetter, extension horticulturist, who says that some of the best results are to be had from sowings made this month. His suggestions call for the following plantings: Onions (Seed or Sets)?Yellow Globe Danvers, Prizetaker, White Pearl, Australian Brown. Cabbage?For frost-proof cabbage plants for early spring. Kale?Siberian Curled. Sow seed one-half inch deep one ounce to 100 feet, rows 2 1-2 feet; thin plants three to five inches apart in drill. Radishes?Scarlet Globe and Rapid Forcing. Parsley?Moss Curled. Mustard?Giant Southern Curled. Turnip?.Seven Top and Japanese Foliage (for salad). Spinach?Aragon, Virginia Savoy and Bloomsdale. Lettuce?Sow preferred varieties in cold frame for late fall crop. Care Of Livestock During Fall Season ; Clemson College, Oct. 1..?Suggestive reminders by livestock specialists for October stress the importance of. proper attention to feeding, breeding and management problems: Animal Husbandry.?Plant enough winter forages for hog grazing. Cull out the unproductive sows. Repair hog houses for winter. Make maximum use of permanent pastures and cheap roughage in wintering beef cattle. but do not let cattle lose too much weight. Take rams away from Hock by the latter part of October. Feed idle-mules plenty of roughage but reduce the grain. Dairying.?Run cows on hay and corn fields to clean.up after harvest. Feed each cow grain in proportion to milk yield shown by milk records. Cull low producing cows to avoid wintering them. Increase hay and siiage as pastures die. . Secure service of good purebred bull to make calves more valuable. Poultry.?Move pullets to laying house before they come into full production. Clean and spray the laying house and delouse the pullets before putting them in it. Keep corn before j Leghorns and thus save labor without reducing egg production. Select and -sell non-layers. Suffers From Bite Mrs. J. W. Whetsell, of the Bowman section, is suffering from the bite of a fox last Friday. A tame fox was kept in a cage at the home and had been there since the early part of the year. Severs^ nights ago another fox was captured and placed in the cage with the tame animal. The wild for succeeded in breaking out and the tame one al?<> left the cage. It did not leave the premises, however, Mrs. Whetsel, fearful that the animal might make inroads among the chickens, caught it by the back of the neck and was placing it back in its cage when t e animal turned and bit her on wrist. The teeth sank into her arm and the hold could not be _broken 'until she struck the animal in the ea with a piece of iron which lay nearby.?Times and Democrat.
