Gamecocks Defeated
Bulldogs Last Friday

Camden, Sept. 2U.?-The Sumter!
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.

to punt as the third quarter end<

Sumter went into action on a big
scale as the fourth period opened.
Apparently in better condition than

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

the ball in the end zone for the third

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).

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.?

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
