Faa festival Notes. The .office of the Secretary of the Fall Festival will be at the Cash Grocery Store this week, and all who are awarded the ribbons will kindly call there for the prize money. A solid car load of agricultural ex-, hi bits from the State Farm will be displayed this week in a tent on Court House square. Between thirty and forty mules, colts, cattle and hogs from the same place will arrive for the live stock show. Four fast trotting horses from Flor? ence will likely be entered for the races on Friday. Mr. W. Ladsoa Boyle, of this city, will appear in the line-up of the South Carolina College team. Mr Boyle bas been playing star ball this year, and to his splendid gamea ic the second half is largely due Caroli? na's victory over the heavy team of the University of Georgia. Time and again he plowed his way through Georgia's enormous guards and tackles for gains of from three to 15 yards, and by carrying the ball for four successive downs he brought the pig skin close enough to Georgia's goal to enable Carolina to score. Sumter should be proud of her repre? sentative on the garnet and black team. j Dr. Walter Cheyne has boen ap pointed a member of the committee to entertain Governor D. C. Hey ward. Black River Association. This body met with the Salem church on Friday, 11th inst., the intro? ductory sermon was preached by Rev.?\ M. Satterwhite, after which the dele? gates from th? churches were enrolled and the old officers J. E. Bronson, G. T. Gresham, and J. E. DnPre, were elected as moderator, clerk and treas? urer. Dr. T. M. Bailey, of che State Mission Board,. .V, L Masters Of the Baptist Coe rier and A. M. A. Pitt? man of the S. C. Bantist were pres? ent, and tho moderator extended to them the privileges of the floor. The newspaper men advocated the claims of their papers, and after the report on State missions was read. Dr. Bailey made ? fine add re-s in behalf of State Missions. The work in which he is engaged showed a healthy and encouraging state of affairs. On Saturday. Dr. E. M. Poteate presi? dent, of Forman University, Joel I. Allen, finanial azent cf Tennessee University and Major J. W. Gaines of the Welsh Neck Hieb School were present and the privileges of the floor were extended to them. Dr./Poteate made a fine address on Christian ed? ucation, also of the work at Furman. Major Gaines spoke of the work of the Welsh Neck High School, at Hartsville, and Mr. Allen of the finan? ces of Furman University All the visiting brethren added much to the interest cf the meeting, discussing the various questions that were before the body. The letters from the church? es showed a healthy state of affairs both religiously and financially. The work of the body was carefully con? sidered in all its details. The discus? sions on the same, were fair and man? ly. The whole association was har? monious from beginning to end. Mr. Bronson presided with fairness and ability and Mr. Gresham made a fine derk Rev J. H. Sanford of Orangeburg preached on Sunday. After finish ing all its business the association ad? journed to meet with the Pisgah church next fall. The association is under many obligations to Mr. D. W. Alderman for kindness shown. He not only kept open house for the delegates, but conveyed them on bia railroad free of charge to the church every morning, and brought them back 4 io the evening. The ladies of Salem had a bountiful dinner each dav four delegates and visitors and there was enough and to spare. They did ali they could for the comfort and convenience of the body. Black Assoc:arion is not large in numbers, bnt*stands in the front rank in benevolence and other good works. The body will *oon lose Rev. G. T.

J. E. D. THE FOOT BfA LL GAME. The Men Who Will Meet on the Gridiro, Thanksgiving Dry-Records of the Respective Teams. The foot ball game here Thanks giving day between Cardinal and Washington and Lee promises to be one of the best played in the Sooth this season. The men on each team are made of grit, nerve and mnscle, and play with a snap which is won? derful. Somo of the Carolina boys are slightly injured as a result of the Car? olina-Davidson game but will pat up a ltard fight. Washington and Lee men are good, hard material and will make it inter? esting for Carolina. Their average weight is only 151 pounds, while Caro? lina has 154. Their records are about the same, each having to its creidt about the same number of games lost ?sd woo? Coach Benett, of Carolina, bas been hard at work during the season and has infused into his men the art of swiftj snappy ball playing. Much interest is being taken in Columbia as to the result and hundreds will come over on the special train to cheer Carolina on to victory. And it is understood that Washington and Lee will bring along a crowd of rooters to encourage them in putting the pigskin over the goal line to the chagrin of Carolina. Carolina's record this season is good, having lost three, won three and tied one. It is as follows : Carolina 40 ; Welsh Neck 0. 0; North Carolina 27. 21; Guilford 4. " 2; University of (ia. 0. 0: A. &. M. (N. C.) 0. V 0; Davidson 6. 0; Charleston 6. Dowling at center will do the work necessary. Be is 215 strong and will stay in his tracks wnen. the pigskin is being passed back for a rush. While be is comparatively new in foot ball circles his record in this year's games is to his creidt. He is a South Caro? linian and in the game Thursday will show the sturdy Virginians how to play the game. Fendley, at right guard, will be there when the ball is put in play. He has played on Carolina in a lot of games and has never yet allowed the line to spring a leak. He is line opener for tbe opposing team and an eyeopener for "the spectators. Moore, left guard, is not so old in ex? perience in resisting the men on the other side of the ball but will, with the assistance of White, take care of the space just to the left of the center. Croft, the old reliable man at right tackle and who was a few days ago j slightly injured in the Davidson game, now knows no reason why he cannot be present and do his accus? tomed stunt. He is old in the busi? ness and Columbia feels safe wheu he is in the game. And Cogburn, an old Clemson man, is on the other side on center taking, care of left tackle. He has done so several times and still retains his good health. Douglas McKay will be on the right end. ' ' Dug" is not quite old enough to vote but he has been old enough and wise enough and quick enough to break up some of the most intricate and irresistible plays ever -shoved around in an end man's place. He is quick, hard and nervy, and much is expected of him on the day every? body bas turkey for dinner. Captain Foster is scheduled for the left end. He is unquestionably in McKay's class. He is of a quiet and retiring manner but in action on the field makes his opponent wish that he had another engagement. He is one of the many Fosters who have played on Carolina's team for the past fifteen years. Reed, the left half who has punted and grunted and stunted with telling effect in previous games will be a party to the action on Thursday. In the game with Davidson he went through for gains when it seemed im? possible. And he knows how to get in the way of the opposing team when the attempt a stroll down the field. Boyle, left half, is an old player in this position. He is swift and strong and level beaded and has added laurels to Carolina. He is always in the hardest of the fight and has made a name as a right half. Now everybody knows "Rut" Mc? Gee. "Rut" is playing quarter back this year. His good bead work and quick, jerky movements have made it uncomfortable for some of this year's opponents. He is confident of putting his men on the victory when he goes up against Washington and Lee. He is au old Carolina man. Washington and Lee's record for this year is as follows : W. and L. 22, Miller school 0. W. and L. 0, Virginia 15. W. and L. 0, V. P. L 24. W. and L., 0, Georgetown 47. W. and L. 55, Roanoke, 0. W. and L. 12, St John's, 0. Total 89, opponents 86. This schedule shows that she has lost all of her big games and won all of those with teams in her lass. Pete Balliet, the former Princeton player, is coaching the team. - Stone at centre will hold his own. Although compararively light, his work has been of Mich a quality in the past that he was made captain of the team of 1904. .This is irs fourth year in varsity ball and he has made his monogram on the "gvm" t-eam and in the boat crew. He is a Virginian. The guards aro Hamilton and Ran? kin, who are both first year men in varsity ranks. Hamilton is from West Virginia and Rankin is a son of the Old Dominion. Chilton and Withers, the tackles, are two ot' the best ii ne men on the team. Chilton was pitcher on last year's championship baseball team, letting Virginia and the Navy down with two bits each. Suffice to say, he is as good at football as he is at baseball. This is his first year in var? sity ball, although he was in college last year, being disqualified for the time because be played with Hampdeu Sidney in 1902. He is a West Virkin ian. Withers is also a first year man, but is playing a consistent steady game. He is a Virginian. The ends are Bigley and Miles, the first a Tennesseean, the second a Vir? ginian. Both are fast and sure tacklers. Bagley i< perhaps the best nan o' bis weight that ever played at Wash? ington and Lee. At quirtsrback Alexander is a bright particular star. Ha is light uing fas , nervy and has a fine bead He plays the game for all there is in it and has b^en a ajar in every entert ibis year. The writer ?fainks he is the equal if not the peer of both John i j Maxwell of Clemson and Jim Wyman j j cf Carolina and Davidson. He" can | j safely be booked for some senshl ions j ! in the Thanksigving pame. j Bledsoe at right half is another i j example cf grit and muscle. He was . ? chosen as end for the All-Southern J team of 1901 and has kept up to the mark ever since. He and Alexander starred against Georgetown. Both are Virginians. Anderson, a Ken? tuckian, who plays at left half, is a fine defensive back, stopping the holes in the line in great shape. Moorman, tba full back, carries the ball a good part of the time, hitting the line in splendid form. On the whole the game will be a game worth seeing. Each goes in confident of victory and will exhaust every bit of nerve and muscle in the effort. Each is in good trim. The trip will not be so much in favor of the Virginians bnt they will not think of it when they reach the field. Car? olina has only a short run to Sumter. She will have with her a large crowd of Columbians. W. H. M. THE FLORAL PARADE. A Magnificent Pageant of Beauty-Lovely Women, Handsome Horses and Ex? quisite Floral Decorations. A pageant of beauty, a symposium of loveliness, an ideal and altogether appropriate inangration of the Fall Festival, was /and is the nnanimons opinion of the thousands who throng? ed the streets along the line of march to witness the Floral parade. Both in nnmber of vehicles and in the artistic beauty and variety of the decorations the Floral Parade surpassed the most sanguine expectations of all. There was nothing lacking and nothing left to be desired, the arrangements were complete to the last detail and the ex? ecution of the plans was perfect. The parade formed at the foot of Main street and the route was as fol? lows: South Main street to Liberty, West Liberty to Church, Church to Broad, Broad to Warren, Warren to North Main, North Main to the Court House, where the mounted officers and vehicles were halted while Mayor Dick made his address of welcome and delivered to President R. F. Haynsworth the keys of the city. Mayor Dick's address was appropri? ate to the occasion and struck the keynote of the hour. The welcome he extended to Sumter's guests was cor? dial and sincere and he aptly voiced the sentiments of every citizen of Sumter. He touched lightly upon Sumter's growth and prosperity with? in the past ten years, and without boasting or self-praise, pointed with a pride that we all feel in onr town, and the hopes we confidently enter? tain of a future greatness that will far exceed any achievement of the years that have passed. The great golden key, symbolic of the open sesame to Sumter's homes and Sumter's hospitality that his words of welcome expressed, was deliv? ered to President Haynsworth who received it and, with face wreathed in smiles, bowedfaud bowed again in response to tho cheers ' of the assem? bled thousands. The parade was then reformed and continued down North Main street to Liberty and thence down East Liberty to Levi Avenue where it was disband? ed. ^ One of the most striking features of t the parade was the regiment, or " perhaps it were better to character? ize it as a brigade, of Graded school children that joined the parade at Warren Street and brought up the rear of the procession until Liberty street was reached. There were more than five hundred children, in the pa? rade. The militan* company of the school came, first, followed by the grades in order, beginning with the tots of the First Grade. Each grade had a bright hued banner, and each child carried a -small United States flag. W'heTe there were so many beauti? fully decorated vehicles it was a diffi? cult task, indeed, for thb judges to decide which were ^entitled to the prizes, for all were artistic and worthy of prizes. The awards were made, however as follows : First Prize double team-Mrs. J. A. Mood. Second Prize double team -Mrs. Nina Solomons. First Prize, single team-Mrs. E. A. Bultman. Second Prize single team -Mrs. J. L. Kelly. Toe parade in detail was as follows: Squad of mounted police, under command of Chief Bradford. Chairman J. H.

The art of bell founding is. undoubt? edly of great antiquity. The Saxons are known to have used bells in their churches, although probably but small ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at the eud of the seventh century, al hides to them in terms willoh seem to show that they were not unfamiliar ti'*ngs. The towers of the Saxon pe? riod have belfries of considerable di? mensions in most cases, and at Crow land abbey, in south Lincolnshire, there was a famous peal of seven belis many years before the Norn.on <-ou quest. The monks at that time and for lon? after were the chief oractitioners o? the art of bell foundiug. Their beli> were ran * without inscriptions, often In Latin, containing perhaps some ob? scure joke, the point of which is quit* lost. More often they were of a re? ligions n.-iture. sometimes, we fear, not uumixed with a dash of superstition, as when I he bell declares that its sound drives away the demons of the air who caused pestilence and famine, lightning and thunderstorms. As a rule, unfortunately, they put no dates on their bells, a defect whicu has been in some measure ^ver come by the researches of many en? thusiastic campanologists, but which is likely to keep the carty history of bells? shrouded in darkness for a long time to come.-< Jen t lema n's Magazine. .?TI- Britain Cnrrcncjr.

When Worn Ont Don't Take a Stim? ulant; Just Croatlic. Don't take a stimulant: just breathe. This is tho advice of a doctor who docs not believe in tho old medical policy of mystery, but who undertakes philosophically io explain to any pa? tient why sucli and such a remedy should be b?n?ficiai, says the Phila? delphia Telegraph. "When you are 'let town.' " contin? ued this physician, "don't take a cock? tail; just breathe. Put your finger on your pulse and get its rhythm. Dur? ing eight beats draw in the breath, breathing deep and low and forcing the diaphragm down, first, then filling the upper lungs. Then exhale this breath during four beats of the pulse. "Now, if you are working with a piece of machinery, say a typewriter, what do you do to make it run more smoothly? You don't put a lot more oil on it and gum and clog it aH up. You clean it first. You can best clean the blood by breathing. The blood passes through the lungs, and it needs and expects to find plenty of fresh air with oxygen in it. If it can't find per? fectly fresh air it needs more air which is not perfectly fresh. It needs to be cleaned by contact with the air. "Once in awhile hold the lungs full of breath as long as you can without expulsion. In doing this you are sim? ply cleaning the machine. You are cleaning the blood. At the same time you are giving that litLe fillip to the action of the heart and the nervous .system which you thought you were giving when you took the cocktail. In the latter case you didn't clean the ma? chine. You simply ran it a little faster and gummed it up a little more. You can get the same results, the same feeling of exhilaration and of accom? plishment, without taking the cock? tail, and at the same time the machine will steadily improve in its running quality. Breathe the best air you can get and plenty of it. It is as necessary as food. The heart and lungs act in? voluntarily. In hurried business life they become too involuntary. In that case don't take a cocktail; just breathe.*' POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Don't volunteer too much informa? tion. What a lot of time we waste wonder? ing why. Patting yourself on the back is a difficult task-seldom done gracefully. There are more talkers than think? ers. Here you have the solution of gossip.

I shall try to be reasonable. 1 think I shall go so far as t<; keep a light burning for him to make him cheery when lie returns.*' Uer mother was silent. "Don't you thin!: it would be a good idea to keep the light burning?" she persisted. "Well, it might do very well for the first month or so. But after you have paid a few gas bills you'll probably conclude that it will be just as well to put the matches where he can tind them and turn the light out."- New York Press.
