CROP REPORTS fHO?? HA6000. ! News items of Various Sorts Picked Up Here and There. * Hagood, Aug. 24.-Went ont to Dal? zell yesterday where in the forenoon there was a campaign meeting, and a base ball game in the afternoon! Your correspondent has never witness? ed many" ball games bat the one yes? terday surpassed all the rest. Yes, we noticed the crops on the way and of those of C.< L. Emanuel, John- and Wm. Boykia's, $. M. Cross wells' and the Moore's deserve spe? cial mention. I beard good, reports from Woodley, Wingate and ethers. Judging from what ? hear C. L. Wil? liamson has as fine cotton as the county or country can show. I have reports from other sections and counties of the State that show much weed and little fruit. From every quarter reports come in of a good com crop. I have on my table ijbe rattles, fif * teen, of a big- snake kilted, near here by Ben Dinkins, a little negro boy. / Ic is on my mind, and you will par . ? asme if I say it; I live on the pen? insular, the celebrated, the far famed Dinkins peninsula, and near to Ha? good, quite as lamons, whose antiquity has. before been noticed in your col? umns, which section completes Sumter county, marfe you. Welly sir, when the commision, %ant ont by the State to ^select lands for a farm, after tra? versing he weary length of Carolina, reached here they said ' ' Alabama, ' ' or words to that effect. Beginning at Claremont and extending near to Camden is a belt of J?and the equal of which is hard to find. For a long time the crops grown here were on the average, only ordinary, but now few sections in tho State can equal them for cern cr cotton. On a visit to my good friend, that sterling gentleman, D. V. Keels, who has typhoid fever, but not considered dangerous, I passed through the do? mains of Prince Edward and Prince William. Prionce Edward is at the fair. William, who is a good feeder, .it matters not whether it be.himself or others, was at some of his nei?Jo bors. AU the cro?s in this community are good, bui^special mention shold be made of T. P. Sanders', E. E. Rem? bergs and D. V. Keels.' This last has a piece of " bottom corn, on lana redeemed from wate? as fine as I ever saw. My good friend Walter Har?ee, who has. built near McLeod's Chapel a neat and commodious home, has a good crop in excellent condition. In com puny with others we were well enter? tained there, for- none bave the art more thea his go?4 wife and he. I was in the Borden and New Hope communities some days ago. As usual W. R. Brown is in the lead with good corn and cotton. Better crops are grown here now than I have ever r known. All through tbis country, beginning -at Borden and extending to the South? ern Railroad typhoid fever seems epi? demic. I think it is the same fever tfc?t passed through the Spring Hill ' and Pisgah commnnitias last year. Mr. Herbert Gilbert, of Florence, with his mother, are visiting in onr community. They, with Mrs. J. L. Jackson, contemplate a trip to the up con try. ?Ve have had just enough, not too mnch rain. Everybody well and sweating. The Game Cock City Carnival. An automobile speed contest is sug? gested as one of the attractions of the proposed Game Cock City Carnival. One of the most enthusiastic automo? biliste in the city has expressed a de? sire to have the speed contests, and bas promised to secure a number ot entries from Columbia and other places, to contest with the local auto? mobiliste. Prize will be offered. The Carnival is almost an assured fact, as a number of genlemen who have taken prominent parts in getting up success? ful affairs of this kind heretofore are behind fthe Carnival, and have can? vassed the city far enough to find ont that the business men and other citi? zens are quite enthusiastic over the proposed affair. It is intended that this carnival, if held at all, shall be a big affair in point of amusements of different kinds, and as an dvertisement for. the city, lt is evident that the trades display feature ; appeals very: strongly to the business element, and that the merchants and manufacturers wiQ go into it with a determination to outshine each other.. The firemens' tournament will be a groat feature, as it is proDo,sed to offer large prizes as an inducement to outside companies to enter. In a few days a mass meeting of citizens will be called at which steps will be taken to start the move? ment; Nby appointment of committees to raise funds and arrange the pro? gram. The carnival will be well adver? tised within a radions of one hundred and ' twenty-five miles of Sumter. No one can-object to a carnival, as no one is obliged tc^contribute a cent if he objects. But those who want to go into it and contribute their share of the expenses have right to do so, and par? ticipate without hurting other ^peo? ple's feelings or. pocket books. It is not to be paid for by' taking the money ont of the tax receipts of the city or county; but: is to be entirely a volunteer affair, free for all who want to get it up, and equally as free to those who want to stay out, on ac? count of being afraid that they will be asked to contribute a few cents. If y< u hear any man "knocking" the j carnival, just tell him not to lose any] sleep; as he' ^will not have to spend a j cent if he does not wish to. fl A >ssini val of fun for a few days can? not possibly do the citty, or any indi? vidual, the least harm, and can be made io do the city lots of goocl, if properly managed, as has been proven j in Sumter and hundreds of other j places._ ;x I find nothing better for fiver cerange ? ment and constipation than Chamberlain's j Stomach and Liver Tablets.- L.

Au unusually large crowd attended the third campaign meeting at Dal? zell yesterday. Quite a number of ladies were present to hear the candi? dates speak, and they were as liberal in their applaus as were the most en? thusiastic among the men. It was a very orderly meeting, and each and every speaker was accorded close and courteous attention. All the candi? dates practically re-affirmed their plat? forms, as announced at Shiloh and heretofore outlined in this paper. Perhaps the most interesting contest to that immediate section is the race between Mr. ^Richard Folk and Mr. Louis R. Williamson, two of Provi? dence's most popular young men, for the office of Magistrate. They were the first speakers of the day, and each was given an ovationN Mr., J. E. Gaillard, one of the can? didates for the office of Sheriff, was very happy to be among the people with whom he had been raised, and he was accorded a very cordial reception. Cheers for Gaillard rent the air for many minutes after he had concluded his speech. Mr? Henry G. McKagen was the only one of the candidates for the Leg? islature, who inserted a new plank in his platform. He declared that he was in favor of the lynch law, and insisted that the militia should, in cases of the violation of a waite woman's chastity, aid in the destruc? tion of the brute, rather than protect him. from mob violence. A ter the speaking, all the candidates and numerous other persons were serv? ed with a most, delightful barbecue dinner, and the money realized from the meal was given to a church. Then followed the base ball game, an account of which appears elsewhere. An Elegant Dance at the Providence Pa? vilion Last Night. ; \ - From the Daily Item Aug. 24. The dances at Providence have be? come so popular, and have been so largely attended that the management authorizes the statement that the floor space will be doubled, in the very near future. JLast evening, those who were so fortunate as to be present, had a most delightful time. The music was furnished by Tom Westberry's orchestra, which has become quite popular. At the recent dances the floor was in excellent con? dition ; there was a delightfully cool breez blowing all the time, and every thing was conducive to the pleasure and comfort of the dancers. Among those present were: Chap? erones, Mr., and Mrs. C. L. William- j son, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Colclough, Mrs. Gertrude Richardson : Connies, Miss Sbarlie Graham With Mr. L. R. Wil I liamson,Miss Hattie Sanders with Mr. Waverley Levy, Miss Nila Sanders with Mr. C. L.

Sanders, of Providence tells of a negro who set a hen on ten hen eggs and ten partridge eggs, and vouches for the statement that the hen now has ten biddies and ten partridges following her. He, also, said that another negro in bis seetion had a hen to come off with a brcod of twenty little partridges. If the industry progresses at r-he present rate, the pot hunters will shortly be put out ot business. Fewer gallons; wears longer; Devoe. ... ip ^?.???

To the Voters ot Sumter County, Our Congressman Hon. A. F. Lever is to be commended for his patriotic effort to impress upon the people the necessity of registering in ample time to enable them to vote at the general election. It is a matter of vital im? portance to the whole State of Sooth Carolina that every qualified voter should C2st his ballot at the ensuing election for members of Congress, as the number of ballots cast for that -office will be an important factor in determining the number of Representa? tives to which we may be eutitled in the future, under the constitution and laws of the United States, in case au effort should be made in Congress to cut down our representation. The first Monde; in October, however, is the last day, before the next general election, on which voters can procure certificates of registration-it is not this year within the thirty day limit of the general election, during which time it is^ unlawful for ns to* issue registration certificates. The electors of Mayesville and vicinity will have an opportunity of securing their certificates on Wednesday, the 7th day of September, next, as our board will bold a special meeting at that place on the day named for their conveni? ence. Respectfully yours, Tfaos. E. Richardson, One of the Supervisors of Registra? tion for Sumter County. Other county papers please copy. Row in Florence County. Florence., S. C..
