Do tte average jurors really believe

A Visit to the Desaussurc State Farm.
Have you ever been there?
If not a visit will repay you
for your trouble. It is in the
extreme northwest of Sumter county
and contains twelve hundred acres
cleared land, half of which is river
bottom and hundreds of acres uncleared
nearly all cf which is swamp land. I.saw
fine land there but a few feet above low
water mark under cultivation, produc?
ing from year to year the finest crops
of grain.
Every one knows that these swamp
lands, having a soil of unlimited
depth, have been reclaimed by means of
huge dams, some of which run within
thirty yards of the river. Some of the
best land now under cultivation only
a year or so ago was covered with
water which by means of a large canal
was carried away to the river. All
of these canals or ditches which pass
out through the dams are weil trunk?
ed, each trunk having a gate to let
water off. They never let in water
from the river during a fresh or at
any time because it imperils the
dams. Mr. W. R. Gardner, the super?
intendent, told me how on one occa?
sion one of his bist and strongest
dams was broken by ireh water, rais?
ed into waves by heavy winds and
beating against it. They never, if
they can prevent it, allow fresh wa?
ter to come in; the lands are plenty
rich so as not to require it. Practi?
cally all the swamp land can be put in
a condition for cultivation, and I sup?
pose will be in the course of time.
"Why not now?" Because it is so ex?
pensive, is a herculean task, and be?
cause at present they have ali the
land they need.
In company with W. S. Thompson,
one of our best farmers, your corres?
pondent went to the "farm" last Sat?
urday, expecting to see something
fine in cotton, but not surpassing
what we had left behind, . but as we
wended our way through , the broad
acres all in the finest condition, per?
fectly clear of grass, Mr. T. remark?
ed, voicing my feelings exactly, "I
feel just as if had been doing noth?
ing." We were well received by Mr.
Gardner and Iiis kind wife, who show?
ed us every attention we could desire,
Mr. G. taking us on a drive through
the farm. I never saw better devel
oDed or better fruited cotton in my
life.
No doubt. Mr. Editor, ycu noticed
in my writings about farming that I
was a bit conceited. Yo do not now, it
is all gone; that trip to the State
Farm cured me.
. Mr. Gardner, who is forty-three, and
was reared in old Kershaw county,
small of statute, with dark hair and
eyes, is a practical farmer, who can in
terest and instruct you. Under his
management the Desaassure farm is
a paying institution. Bad as last year
was it paid to the State over and above
all expenses SC,SCO, which amount
would have been swelled considerably
had a number of incidentals been con?
sidered.
Desaussnre is every whit the equal
of thc upper farm in value, in appoint?
ments, etc., etc.
"Shall we keep Mr. Gardner
there?" By all means; ho is the right
man in the right place. I must quit,
net before remarking that I saw the
large-t heaps of clean wheat and oats,
znd onions enough to season the coun?
ty.
Crops in and around the Peninsula,
Hagood, etc. are ahead cf anything I
have I seen elsewhere lately with one
possible exception.
Wc have some excellent farmers:
besides those already mentioned in
your columns we would name Clar?
ence and Charley Jackson, yonns and
full of energy, diaries Mitchel, W. S.
Thomson, W. W. Mellctte and Wilder
James.
I do not chink cur community car.
bo surpassed for upland cern, J. S.
Jackson and others having as good
as I over saw, and this toa in spite of
the drought. Yes, we suffered from
the drought, but not so badly as
some communities : everything seems
to have fully recovered now.
I There is no sickness to speak of
among us.
John Harris, a man of color, a "free
issue" was bitten, as was supposed
by a moccasin. For the benefit (?) of
others I givo his heroic treatment : a
half pint spirits of turpentine, one

an old pipe taken inwardly. The
theory is that when this meets the
poison of the snake they will all come
up together.

In the fastest and most exciting
game of the season Wednesday after?
noon the Game Cock Lodge, K. of P.,
defeated a splendid aggregation ot'
bail players from Manning and Sum?
merton by a score of 5 to 2. An im?
mense crowd witnessed the game, and
cheered the numerous fine plays that
were made, irrespective of the teams.
But above all the din and confusion
that is essential to the thorough en?
joyment of a game and to the great
pleasure of the spectators could be
heard the lustry voices of the gallant
Knights Shaw and George as they
gave encouragement to their team by
splendid "rooting."
From the minute that Durant step?
ped in tlie box for the locals, he in?
spired confidence in the rest of the
team, and caused the enthusiastic
supporters of the Knights to wear a
satisfied expression. His work was
superb, and can best be judged by the
detailed account below.
Gillespie was fast and sure at short?
stop, and made two very sensational
catches of difficult chances. Cantey on
second evoked cheers very often by
his quick work, and accurate throw?
ing.
For Manning, Sublett pitched a good
consistent game, giving but one free
pass to first, and keeping the hits well
scattered. DicksoD, the backstop,
caught admirably, and made several
good throws to second base. Cantey
was very fast at short, and took every?
thing that came his way. Iseman
played a good field, and^was the only
one of the visitors that could handle
the stick with good results, he got
two clear hits, and made one of the
runs for Manning.
Mr. Sanders from Hagood officiated
as umpire, and his thoroughly impar?
tial decisions pleased not only the
players, but the crowd as #well. The
game in detail was as follows:
McLeod up for the visitors, fanned
out, Brown ?it fly over shortstop,
which Gillespie takes in by making a
beautiful running catch ; Belser hit
safe to left field for one base; Dickson
retired the side by a fly to short.
Gillespie got a free pass to first;
Cantey hit sale to center field ; Gilles?
pie went to second; Mulloy sawed;
Durant, R., hit over first, and in a
general mix-up which followed, caus?
ed by Gillespie^ going to sleep on
second, a double was made retiring
the side.
Appelt struck out ; Cantey got base
on balls; Snhlett fanned; Iseman flied
out?to second.
Cuttino, Cantey, S., and Durant, E
go out in one, two, three order.

error, and was advanced to third by a
wild throw : McLeod hit a hot one to

Wilder, E., out on grounder to
short: Wilder, J., fanned: Gillespie

Durant flied ont tc first: Cuttino
hit safe for two bases; Cantey, S.,
gave the right fielder au easy chance,
which he dropped, 8nd advanced Cut?
tino to third ; Durant hit safe to cen?
ter field, and on a wild throw to
catcher the three men cn bases scored.
Both Wilder boys failed to connect
with the bail.
Iseman Int safe through short, and
stoic second: Horton fanned; McLeod
hit to first and dies there: iseman
reposed on third sack, cn Brown's bi#t
to right field : Iseman scored ; Belser
hit to right field bus was thrown out
in his endeavor to convert his single
into r. two bagger.
In this innin;; no man on either side
reached first: Iseman, Horton and
McLeod all expire cn infield bits.

after getting a clean bit to same
