The lives of the fruit and vegetation j Vent out in a hurry. Large trees are! black as winter, and in the low places the woods look black. Gardens went down, too. So there is very little left. Today heavy clothing is com? fortable. Corn planting has been going on all the-week. The farmers would not risk the frost bitten corn to come out, so ploughed it up and planted over. Indications are that all the early planted cotton is dead. Seed, both corn and cotton, is very scarce, and hard to get. Oat& show some im? provement, but not enough to war? rant a full crop. All this is on the dark side. The bright will come later on. It helps people to give them a little of Job's experience some times. Capt. C. L. Emanuel, of Bordeno, paid us a flying visit this week. He has many friends here who are al? ways glad to see him. Mr. J. A. Gillis Lost his barn by fire Wednesday night. Two new wagons, all his corn, peas, fodder, guano and soda, and cotton seed meal was burn? ed, and tw stables. He just saved his cow an*, mules. The fire was on them when they were released. His loss is about $500, with no insurance. It was an incediary act, and the fel? low who did it is now in the keeping of Sheriff Epperson. Such a loss is heavy at any time, and Mr. Gillis has the sympathy of his friends. REMBERTS. j Rembert, April 21.-For the benefit of the farmers I will say so many complaints were- made to the Uni? ted States department of agriculture at Washington of the inferior quali? ty of cow peas, the department sent a request to each of their correspond? ents throughout tho country asking them to send as much as one pint of their cow pea seed made on their j farms last year, and they would re port the result of the test found to j germinate. A few days ago your cor- j respondent received from Mr. E. j Brown, botanist in charge of the seed laboratory, Washington, a report stat? ing that only 62 per cent would ger? minate, and in sowing the seed this year the farmers must take inte con- | sideration the per cent of germina? tion, more seed being used propor? tionately, as the quality throughout the entire pea belt is very poor. I am sorry to say very few farmers in this section made any pea .seed last year, but those who have any I hope will be guided by this report. Your correspondent had the pleas? ure of a very interesting conversation a few days since with a very intelli? gent botanist. He informed me that throughout the entire country we have the greatest number of pine blossoms we have had in 20 years, which means that during the fall of 1908 there will be the heaviest pine mast we have had in 20 years. So the farmers who arc so fortunate as to have forest pastures for their hogs will next year reap a great har? vest. The farmers of this community are very despondent owing to the critical condition of their crops at this stage, ; caused by the continual cold weather, and while I am writing a cold east ; rain is falling, which may again prc- ' cipitate another fre?ze and cause all 1 the cotton to be destroyed. Very few planters in this section saved only enough seed to plant one time, and very nearly all the crops here are in the ground, and should a freeze come now we all would be in a 1 deplorable condici?n. I trust, how- ! ever, it may .soon turn warm, and gladden the hearts of many who are looking so sad tocay. There will be no services at Mc? Leod's Church next Sunday, as Rev. D. A. Lewis will attend the district conference. PINEWOOD. Pinewood, April 17.-The county board of Clarendon county has not as yet established a dispensary at Pinewood, which was expected by the majority of the people who petition? ed for the dispensary in order to keep down the illicit sale of whiskey. The most people are in favor of a dispensary, as it will be the best and safest way to curtail the sale, and further, the liquor will be sold ac? cording to law. The Atlantic Coast Line trestle gang expect to move their living cars from Rimini to Pinewood on Friday next. We are glad to welcome our v popular trestle foreman, Mr. T. S. Stone, back here for the season. Mrs. M. E. Barwick, who was burnt out several weeks ago, has bought the Cash Grocery stock of goods}, and is occupying the X. C.

The case of Jas. H. Scarborough vs. J. M. Woodley, an action brought to recover the possession of two acres of land and damages for its unlawful re? tention for eight years, went to the jury Wednesday afternoon. A sealed verdict was read to the court when it convened next morning, which awarded the property in dispute to the plaintiff without damages. It is stated tiiat the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. Appearances, L. D. Jennings, Esq., for plaintiff Messrs. Dee & Moise for defendant. The case of Kolb vs. the Southern Railway was concluded in less than an hour on Thursday morning. The action was for $320 damage alleged to have been suffered by the plaintiff by reason the defendant's delay in delivering a gin, and for damages to the extent of $10 for injury to parts thereof. The jury awarded plaintiff damages in the sum of $10. A. B. Stuckey, Esq., represented the plain? tiff, and Messrs Abney & Thompson appeared ofr the defendant company. The case of J. T. Burkett vs. the Suothern Railway was a suit brought to recover damages for the burning of timber land of the plaintiff, the fire being alleged to have originated from sparks from an engine of the defendant company. There was no question raised as to the liability of the railroad, and the action was for the sole purpose of fixing the amount of the defendant's liability. The amount sued for was $300, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $150. Messrs. Lee & Moise were for the plaintiff, and Messrs Abney and Thompson, of Co? lumbia, for the defendant. The next case on the calendar was that of Street Bros. vs. Dean Bros. In this case suit was brought for the recovery of an amount alleged to be due under a verbal contract for the cutting and logging of timber. The plaintiffs brought suit for $323.02, and the defendants interposed a coun? ter-claim for $728, an amount de? fendants claimed to have lost by rea? son of plaintiffs' refusa1 to carry out the stipulations of the contract. The jury disregarded defendant's counter? claim, and found for the plaintiffs, in the amount sued for. Mark Rey? nolds Esi-, appeared for plaintiffs, and Ma: ion Moise, Esq., for the de? ft nd ar.::. The case of R. M. Aman vs. C. F. McFaddin was concluded on Friday. Judgment was entered, by default against the defendant, for $147 The Cc art of Common Pleas was adjourned Saturday morning to Mon? day on account of the death of Mr. John Bradley, of Abbeville, the fath? er of Judge Klugh's wife. The case of Evans vs. the First Baptist Church, which was pending, tvas to be resumed on Monday. There was no court held on Mon? day on account of the judge's ab? sence. The trial of the case of Evans vs. the First Baptist Church was not re? sumed on Tuesday owing to the ill? ness of one of the jurors. If this ju? ror is not able to attend court tomor? row the trial will be continued with eleven jurors. The business of the Court of Com? mon Pleas has been dragging from one cause or another, and there is little being done. BASEBALL TALK. The Reorganization of the Sumter Baseball Association-Every Busi? ness Man in the City Should bc a 31 ember. Mr. J. P. Booth spent the morning calling on the business men of the city for the purpose of enlisting their interest, co-operation and financial support for the Sumter Baseball As? sociation. The association is to be reorganized on a business-like basis with oiheers and a board of directors to control and manage the business affairs of the association. 3ir. Booth and his associates who have taken the lead in promoting the reorganiza? tion of the State League, having suc? ceeded in carrying their plans to a successful issue, are now in a posi ti m to place before the business men of Sumter a definite proposition. First and foremost; they are able to say positively that Sumter is to have base? ball this season; second, they can tis sure them that good ball will be play? ed and that there is a reasonable cer taintv of the v-M-vmam-ncv of th-- State i * j League, and tnat the organization ! will continue from vear to vear: . third, that r's now organized the State : League will give the towns interest- ; ed clean, honest sport, and the fact j that Hon. M. L. Smith has accepted j the presidency guarantees that cacti j and every team will have a fair and i square deal, that rowdyism and otb- ! er practices that have brought base? ball into disrepute will not be toler? ated in the State League. "This is all that the people of Sum? ter, who are interested in baseball as a sport, could ask, and there should be no hesitancy on their part in ex? tending the support and co-operation that is needed to insure the present success and permanency of the local association. No one is asked for much, and no one will find it a hard? ship to assist in making the Sumter team the best in the league. It is the purpose of the promoters of the asso? ciation to secure for Sumter th* best possible team that can.be maintained within the salary limit, and with Guy Gunter in charge of this part of the programme, there is no doubt about the result. Sumter is going in to win from the first game and there will be no let. up in the fight for the pennant until the season closes. The cost will be inconsiderable in comparison with the sport afforded, and it should be a matter of town pride to give the team all the support neded at the outset. After the sea? son opens and things get warmed up tr ere will be no more trouble. Of course Sumter is in the State League to stay on the guarantee of Messrs. Booth, Harby, Bultman, Blanding and a few others, but they should have the financial support and hear? ty co-operation of all other business men of the city. The team that will wear Sumter's uniform will represent the town and it should have the backing of the town, therefore when Mr. Booth calls on you, do your part cheerfully and liberally. GOT BEATEN IX MULE TRADE. Whitford Thompson, Bound for Canada in a Wagon, Has Hard Luck at Clinton. Laurens, April IS.-J. TV. Thomp? son, who set out from Manning about two weeks ago in a wagon for Can ada, has passed through the city. It seems that the first hard luck struck him after he reached this county. The old man claims to be a judge of horse flesh, but he evidently does not move in the "David Harum" class. He traded mules with a party at Clinton, and then had to hire a mule to draw his outfit to Laurens. He stated to a stable man here that he had started from Manning with a mule, a wagon and a dog, and that he now hbd the dog. The governor has pardoned Elliott Robinson, sent up from Barnwell for 20 years for manslaughter. El? liott is a negro and has for some time been stationed at Clemson Col? lege, from where a numerously sign? ed petition was sent for his release. He has been a model prisoner.
