Who can foretell the result? Can any one fur? nish this correspondent with the name or location of any sectK .1 in this state that has really and in fact, with no doubt, reduced the cotton acreage 25 per cent? No information is asked as to what a certain one, two or three j farmers have done in the 25 per cent j reduction, but sections or townships i reductloni Rev. E. C. Bailey, pastor of Tim monsvill?

Misses Maud Wilson, Willie Kirby aftd Mr. and Mrs. John A. Du? Rant attended Easter services in Cartersville last evening, and were im? pressed with the tasteful and elaborate preparations, which reflected credit on that little town beside the river (Lynch's.) It seems difficult for our citizens, in speaking of our little town, to say "Lynchburg," and it is equally as hard to write it. Mr. Belton Dickerson, with his little daughter, who was bitten by a rabid dog last week, while out playing in the ward, boarded the train here for Columbia to consult and have the child treated by a specialist (?) on hydrophobia. Mr. Dickerson says the dog showed every symptom of hydro? phobia -and he appears greatly dis? tressed. Dr. Darby, who examined the little girl's arm carefully, says there is really no danger of hydropho? bia as the teeth of the animal did not touch the naked flesh, the sleeve not being penetrated. The bite was more like a sharp pinch. Mr. J. T. McNeil went to Columbia this morning with Mr. Dickerson. MANCHESTER Dark Corner, April 22.- Well, it g?ems as if I was mistaken about Spring, as we had plentv of frost and ice on the morning of the 17tb, which played havoc with gardens, &c. Corn was killed down, but the most of it is coming ont. Sweet potato beds where they were up were killed down. There was no cotton np -in this section, so none was killed. Putting down guano and planting cotton is in foll blast this week. Mr. W. T. Kolb and sons Charlie and Owen went to the Wateree Swamp last Tuesday to try luck with the finny tribe, toiled all night and 'caught nothing like the Galilee fisherman of olden times. Mrs. J* B. McIntosh, Sr., has teen quite sick, but is some better. Mr. H. C. Scott and family of Ramsey visited relatives hear last Sunday. There is a strange coincidence just over in Privateer. There are not less than twenty-five motherless children who live within an hour's drive of each other, AH of whom have lost their motheis in about one year's time. The first to die was Mrs. J. Mack Kolb, then Mrs. Henry D. McLeod, then Mrs. James R. -Kalb and the last Mrs. W. G. Prichard, who died last week. The Lord have mercy on the orphans. iiaa a nice rain last night, and out at or near Bloomhill I hear there was a pretty stiff wind with some hail. Have heard of no damage being done Mr .James R. Griffin moved here to Afr G. P. Ardis' today from near Pinewood. WISACKY. Wisacky, April 22.-Cotton plant ing is ovpr with in this neighborhood.

Dr. Alford has returned from Geor? gia, after a very pleasant stay with his brother-in-law, Mr. Sidney Crane. Miss Alice James of Sprigg Hlil has been visiting the Misses Gibson. REMBERTS. Rembert. April 25.-I am glad to re j port the freeze last week did not kill the early planted cotton that was np as reported in my last week's lette*. What saved it was the ground being dry and only a very small portion was op. The warm days that followed caus? ed the plant to germinate and come up rapidly and we are getting good .stands. Will finish planting this week. Corn was damaged by last week's cold, but is improving. Poor stands are reported from every section. planting,is about over and with warm weather from now on we hope to see rapid progress very soon. Oats are not as for advanced as at j this time last year. The farmers here could not get their soda in time to make application. . Rev. Wm. Barnwell held services at Shiloh Episcopal Church near Hagcod last week on Holy Thursday, and read the services. Quite a good congrega? tion was in attendance. He will have a fall service at same church next Sonday, and it will be the Children's Easter Sunday in which they will participate with 2 a very interesting program of recitations. Your corres? pondent hopes to attend4and will re? port same in my next week's letter.

What has become of our Egypt cor? respondent? Let us hear from you again. Tour letters were newsy and very much enjoyed. PISGAH. Pisgah, April 24.-The freeze of last week injured gardens and fruit trees very much. The woods in places look like the dead of winter. All the young leaves are dead. What promised to be a fine fruit year will be a poor one. I notice the young peaches are drop? ping fast and the kernel is dead which i shows how severe the freeze was. j Some corn was killed to the roots. Cotton, where a plenty of seed was sown, has again come up to a stand, but the plant looks weak and sickly. From an agricultural standpoint the future looks gloomy. Cotton is again falling and no one can tell where it will stop. The market has been glut? ted for some weeks, is the cause. Those who had cotton fearing the market wuuld go lower, or from ne? cessity turned it loose, just as the bears said they would do. This is not encouraging for the future and proves that patriotism is something the mod? ern man does not want to practice if it conflicts with his interest. A few here have not sold ?ny since last November; others have sold out, or partly so-. Very little cotton is still in the ?ar?ners hands, so far as I can leam ? predicted last fall a 14,006, 00$ bale crop, and that is just the size of it. If the crop this year should be as large, the greatest financial crash that the South has even had will be upon us and will prove the folly of depending upon one crop for money. Notwithstanding this, the acreage will undoubtedly be reduced and no one can tell what the crop will be. The consumption of cotton is gradually in? creased each year. These are the sil? ver linings to the dark clouds that ap? pear to the vision of this scribe. The boll weevil is not. a factor in the prob? lem, for Texas raises as much cotton as she ever did oefore its appearance. Mrs. Florence Creighton and little son of Dalzell, are visiting at Mr. T. M. Bradley's. ? Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hutchinson, of Borden, spent, the day with Mr. and Mrs. John McCaa yesterday. Mrs. W. J. Hatfield, of Smithville, who has been quite sick, was out to church at Pisgah Sunday. Her friends are glad to see that she has recovered from her recent sickness. Mr. Tom Davis, of Kershaw county, W. J. Hatfield, of Smithville and nephew lind niece, Frank and Miss Sallie Hatfield attended services at Pisgah Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Gillis went to Sumter Saturday, also Rev. J. W. Kenney. Mr. Gillis is running his saw mill this week. Miss Ila May Eva^s. who is attend? ing school in Sumter, came home last week on a visit, but will return to her studies tomorrow. Sumter must agree with her for she is looking remark? ably well. Easter was not observed here by the whites. The colored folks cele? brated the event. They have a kind of insurance agency among them which pays so much on the death of those who are members of the order. News is scarce. People are close at home and at work. CAMDEN NEWS NOTES. Camden, April 25.-Special Easter services was held at Beulah Church Sunday. Our Superintendent Mr. J. C. En mph ries deserves much credit for the success of the occasion. The children did their part well. Mr. C. W. Birchmore, editor of The Wateree Messenger, made an appropriate ad? dress, in fact it was etxra good. He is orre of the best Sunday schcol workers in the county; he is always ready to do what he can for the good of others. Miss Dell McLeod, of RembeTt, Sumter county was present and furnish? ed excellent music for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. T. S. McLeod and Mr. Murray McLeod of Sumter county were also present. Mr. Mc. is one of Sumter best citizens. We attended the Epworth League Conference ia Columbia, as a delegate from tho Beniah League. The reports | from the different Leagues were en? couraging. Kev. Peter Stokes, of Piedmont who is president of the J League, a9 at his best. He is certainly the right mau iu the right place, j Misses Lou Sowsll, and Grace West j and Messrs. W. B. Turner and B. M. Rudson, were the delegates from here. The frost here last week did not do any serious damage, cotton was not far enough advanced Early planted cotton is up to a stand, and some is j being plowed. I Mr. H. G. Carrison has just hauled 1102 bales of cotton from his Pine Farm plantation and will store it for better prices. Rev. and Mrs. S. H. Booth of Smithville, were visting near Camden Saturday. LEE COUNTY NEWS. Hart and John McKnight, the two negroes, who cut Oliver Johnson, a young white man of the Ionia section, same time ago came in and surrender? ed to the sheriff. Sheriff Muldorw was making it pretty hot for them and they thought they would come in and surrender before the clash came. They gave bail and have employed Hon. T. G. McLeod to defend them. Cards are our. announcing the mar? riage of Miss Ethel Vernon youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Carnes to Mr. Levy Austin, Wednesday even? ing, April 2"6. Remember that the election for commissioners of water works will be held next Wednesday as well as the election to determine whether the bonds for the water works shall be is? sued. It is an important matter and every voter should consider well the j matter. The pupils of the Bishopville High | and Graded School will give two en? tertainments at the close of this ses? sion, in the opera house. One of these entertainments will be given on the night of the 27th of this month, the other on the night of the 2 S th. While Lee county is not so well or? ganized as some of the counties in the state for the Cotton Growers' Associa? tion, yet we have made it a point to interview nearly every farmer who comes to town and nine out of ten are not only in favor of reduction, but have actually reduced the acreage. Sumter has been offered enough money for her court house lot to buy another lot and biuld a modern court house. The present court house is on Main street and the noise during the sitting of court is very annoying. We think the Daily Item is on the right track advocating buying a lot -in a more retired locality and build an up-to-date court house.-Bishopville Vindicator. MA.XNING NEWS NOTES. Mr. Aaron Loryea, one of our oldest residents, while enjoying the glow of a hot stove last Monday recalled the fact that he remembered a consider? able snow storm in Sumter on the loth of April 1849, fifty-six years ago, when be engaged with others in snow-ball? ing. So it appears that these late cold waves are not a modern invention of the weather bureau. There is considerable kicking in Mannng today about the new regulations just issued by the telephone company. So pro? nounced is the feeling that a move? ment is on foot to establish a new telephone system, and quite a number of business men have indicated that they would subscribe liberally to the capital stock of such a company. Mr. Algie Hawkins is at the Brock inton Infirmary, where he underwent an Operation yesterday for apendicitis. Dr. S. C. Baker, of Sumter, per? formed the operation. Mr. Hawkins stood the operation well, aud is do? ing very nicely today. The ManniDg Bottling Works, under the management of Mr. H. L. Witherspoon, is a new enterprise now in Manning. It is tfited up with the latest and most improved carbonizing and bottling machinery, and is put tion on the market a variety of deli? cious soft drinks. The facilities of the plaut are ample to supply the trade throughout the county and already the goods are being placed on the market in the neighoring town and ccuutry store. Mr. Witherspoon is a genial gentleman, a native of Sumter, and is delighted with his residence in Manning so far -Man nin Farmer. Died at her home, near Manning, about midnight Monday night, Mrs. Alice Mahoney, wife of Mr. William Mahoney, aged abont 60 years. The burial took place at Paxville this morning.-Manning Times.

It wore 17 years at a cost of less than ?10 a year. Mr. Harold Hardinge, the present cashier painted his honse-three coats lead-and-oil-it wore six years, at a cost of 822 a year. He then re? painted Devoe: said ho wanted the paint that cost least by the year. This is important ; such comparisons are extremely rare. We know the general fact, however. The paint that goes farthest, wears longest; always. Yours truly 99 FW Devoe & Co. P S-Durant Hardware Co. sells our paint. Confederate Veteran Dead. Yorkville, April 20.-Major James F. Hart, a prominent lawyer, the gal? lant commander of the famous "Hart Battery," buring the War Between the Sections, a leader in the Hampton movement of IS76 and a highly es? teemed Christian gentleman of York? ville, died at his residence at S:30 o'clock this afternoon. A TIMELY PROTEST. Unless Autmobilists Show Some Re? spect for the Rights of Others They Will Make Trouble for Them? selves.. Mayesville, S. C., April 25. 1905. Mr. Editor: Will you kindly give space for a few rambling thoughts based on actual experience and observation. Our ex? perience of late has been such that we don't know exactly where we are at hence we appeal for information. On Sunday it was my privilge to pass through your city on my return trip, after a short visit to the Provi? dence section of the county. Just af? ter passing the fork of the Providence and Stateburg roads a short distance I, met with an automobile in which were two couples apparently on a pleasure ride. They seemed to think it their religious duty to see how near they could run their machine up to my horse and buggy. About twenty steps beyond where we met was a turn out from the maia road to avoid a mud hole. These people paid no at? tention to this road, but kept straight on towards me and met face to face with me in a very narrow place. See? ing my horse was frightened afforded them amusement. Now the informa? tion wanted is to know how we are to be protected from these nuisances. In case of damages for broken bones,, ruined horses, broken vehicles, etc., who is to foot the bill ? Does the coun? ty lay itself liable for allowing these machines to take full possession of our public highways? If not, then I see nothing elise for us to do but to take our shot guns along for our pro? tection. The careless, dare-devil man? ner in which these machines go over the country has gotten to be a public nuisance and a halt will have to be called on them, or else the under? takers will have to be called on. We sincerely hope the grand jury will take some steps along this line, ere it be too late. We believe the legislators acted and possibly reacted on this : matter, but their acts are ignored. It might be a good suggestion for each owner of these nuisances to be compelled to paste a copy of this act passed in his machine in a place where his eyes won't be strained to see it.. Then, some of them will see how they exceed their privilege, or abuse the rights of others. It is absolutely unsafe for ladies to risk to drive themselves, as many of them have to do.,Ts this equal rights to all, or special privileges to a few? S. W. Raffield. An Unusual Offer By DeLorme's ? Pharmacy. Who are offering their patrons an op? portunity of a free bottle of the won? derful healing remedy, Paracamph, First Aid to the Injured. This rem? edy has become popular in a remark? ably short length of time by its great success in curing the aches, pains and hurts of millions of people. Sumter people should know the value and merits of Paracamph, and to enable them to do so without risk or loss of money these gentlemen, have produced, a plan. "Being fully convinced of the: merits of Paracamph, all you have to do, says Mr. DeLorme, is to deposit the price of a bottle, at our drug store., take home a bottle of Paracamph, give it an honest trial, and if not sat? isfied, tell us and we will return your money." No remedy on earth compares with. Paracamph for the cure of Rheuma? tism, Swelling and Neuralgia, Sore Throat, Croup Catarrh, Sore Muscles,, j Eczema, Sprains, Bruises, Sore Feet,. Cuts, Burns and Hurts of every de? scription. Paracamph absolutely pre? vents blood poison, Paracamph soothes and heals like magic. No household should be without a bottle always at hand. If you receive a card making a spe? cial offer to you for a trial of Para? camph, bring it to our drug store without delay. 4 26-6t GOPY SUMMONS. FOR BELIEF. (COMPLAINT SERVED.
