NEGRO FARM DEMONSTRATION.
Ib'IMirt of Department Agent for
Sumtor County.
Many who read the subjoined an?
nual report of U. W. Westhevry, farm
demonstration agent of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. In charge of the
work among the negro farmers in
Sumter, Kichland and Kershaw coun?
ties, wdll learn for the first time that
this work has been successfully car?
ried on for the past two years and
that the results have been so satis?
factory that Dr. Knapp has decided
to extend the work and this year
there will be a negro farm demon?
stration In each of the three counties.
The negro farmers have taken up the
work with eagerness and have prose?
cuted It with zeal, the practical re?
sults obtained by the adoption of pro?
gressive farm methods showing in in?
creased yields and greater profits. The
report for 1910, submitted by Dem?
onstrator R. W. Westberry to Dr.
Knapp, shows in a striking and con?
crete manner what the negro farmers
accomplished last year.
The report follows:
The colored farmers of R??bland,
Kershaw and Sumtter counties have
been much benefltted by the demon?
stration work of the government.
There Is a steady improvement among
them. The brushes and briars along
the ditch banks are cut down and
the ditches are cleaned out and the
v>ld bottoms are beln.r cultivated.
Waste lands In many places are at
a premium. There is very little talk
of leaving the country now, for the
city. There 1? great profit In the
demonstration work and its influence.
The work has brought great suc?
cess to the farmers. Mr. Williams
has relieved me of two counties. J.
H. Goodwin has been appointed col?
laborator of Kichland county; and
H. S. Murphy of Kershaw county. And
now I am confined to my own county
(Sumter county.) The following are
those who made 1000 pounds and

i aore of corn on sandy land, $3.00,
The white hoys' corn clubs of the
State have aroused great enthusiasm
among the colored boys, and they are
making preparations for the corn
season. Donations are coming in
from lawyers, teachers and farmers.
Everything will he done in Sumter
county to encourage the colored
boys to make more corn per acre than
their fathers are making.
The Mayesville Industrial Institute
of Mayesville, is my headquarters
and where I spend the most of my
time demonstrating the new methods
of farming. The Agricultural Depart?
ment has increased about 90 per cent.
Many farmers from this and otlu r
counties have visited the farm.
There were six strains of seed corn
tested for the benefit of that locality.
The Qanick prolific corn proved to be
the bast, tnaking about five bushels
to the acre more than any other. The
Toole cotton seeds were used and no
other. The production was 1,110
pounds of seed cotton per acre. The
land Is low and fiat, and during the
rainy season last spring and summer,
many times it was so boggy and wet
that the proper amount of cultivation
could not be given.
Yours truly.

NEGRO HAS CLOSE CALL,
Rescued by Policemen From Cotton
Seed Hulls After Ho Had Given Up
Hope.
From The Daily Item, March
Tuesday night Rolling Knight, a
negro who works for Mr. A. J. Jones
several miles o it from town in the
Plnewood section had a very close
call to death and had it not he u for
the ? rrely arrival of Policeman Bar
wick it Is probable that he would not
have been alive next morning to tell
of his remarkable experience In the
police court as he did.
It seems that Knight had worked
for the railroad company one or two
days last month and as he heard
that the pay train was coming along
Wednesday, which was a day
wrong, for the pay train does not ar?
rive until tomorrow, and he was anx?
ious to get his money, he decided to
walk to town and meet the train here
next morning. He set out for town
late in the afternoon with thirty
cents, which he hud secured from Mrs.
Jones, in his pocket. On the way he
wa.3 soaked by the falling rain and
when he reached town he was numb
with cold and fatigue. He spent the
money he had with him for something
to eat and drink and then set out to
find a sleeping place for the night.
He did not have sufficient money to
hire a room and Unding the door to
the cotton seed hull house at the i
Southern Cotton Oil mill open he
went in and. scraping a hole under
the pile of hulls which were hanked
up high, he crawled in and tri^d to
warm himself and get to sleep. How?
ever this was not t ? he, for as he was
dropping off to sleep the big pile ten,
or more feet high came tumbling
down upon top of him. more than a
ton of the hulls being on top of him.
He tried to call for help, hut the halls
filled his mouth and the dust stifled
him. Sj keeping his mouth shut he
made what groans and grunts that
he couk!, all the time trying to
scratch himself out from under the
hulls. His efforts were fruitless, how?
ever, and he was fast losing strength
and consciousness when ht> heard help
coming and the hulls removed fromi
on top of him and he was pulled out.
Ills groans had attracted the atten?
tion of the night watchman who pass?
ed that part of the building soon af?
ter the hulls had caved In on him
and he had at once 'phoned for a
I policeman. The policeman arrived!
and upon Investigation they fdumff]
teat some one wad burb under the!
hulls and had -r <>ncc ??t to work to ,
.n v,av. .1?..-. ihfe> soon did vvun
the big hull forks and the man was
relieved in time to stive his life, al?
though he was very nearly exhausted.
He was escorted up to the police sta?
tion where he was lodged the bal?
ance of the night free of charge.
Next morning as no charge was en?
tered against him he was dismissed.
Hulls were still sticking to his hair
and clothing, but otherwise he looked
none the worse for his dreadtul ex?
perience.
PAVING WORK PROGRESSING.
The work of laying concrete side?
walks on Church street is progress
ing nicely and it is probable that with
a week's more steady work the side?
walks will he completed. The con?
crete sidewalks are being laid from
Proad street as far as Hampton Ave.,
and will probably be carried on as
far as Liberty street.
The people on North Church street
should congratulate themselves* on
having the best looking street in town
and it would be a good thing if the
citizens on other streets In the city
would decide upon having concrete
sidewalks put in as those on North
Church street hive been.

s. L. I. INSPECTION THURSDAY
NIGHT.
Army Officer Has Only Words of
Commendation for Company After
Thorough Inspection.
('apt. C. U J. Frohwltter of the
16th Coast Artillery, i". B. a., accom?
panied by Col. O. W. Babb, represent?
ing the Adjutant General's office
Thursday gave the Sumter Light In?
fantry the most searching Inspection
it has ever been through and after
his inspection of the soldier hoys he
had only words of commendation for
the company, offering not one word ot
criticism in his Inspection.
The company turned out in force
for the inspection, making the best
average in attendance at any inspec?
tion ever given the company since its
organization. There was only one
man absent and this one absence cut
down the desired maximum per cent
in attendance to 97 1-2 per cent,
which is very near the maximum.
There is a feeling of esprit de corps
in the company that has been stead?
ily gaining In the past few
years which has tended to
strengthen the company and put it
on a firmer military basis than it has
ever 1 een before, although Company L
always ranked high in the State mili?
tia. There are now 4 0 enhsted men
in tlv company and three officers.
Of these the officers and thirty-nine
of the enlisted men were present for
the inspection and muster.
The company put up a good showing
as Is shown by the fact that the
Cnited States army officer mnde no
criticisms In his inspection. Captain
Warren stated that he was extremely
pleased by the showing made and
hoped that the next time the atten?
dance would be the maximum. The
rifles were shown to be in good con?
dition, the equipment was well kept
and the armory was in excellent con?
dition. In the morning Capt. Froh?
wltter and Col. Babb went out to the
ritle range and took a look at this
part Of the company's property. Al?
though the range is not fully com?
pleted and has not been used in the
past it will be put into active service
this spring.

recommendation of the Adjutant
I General, as were officers of retiring

Coggswell and Gen. Jones. The Ad?
jutant is by the new law required to
