Mrs. E. J. Jeffords Serion dy and Probably Fatally Hurt?Others )n Car Jump. Florence, Nov. 25.?Mrs. E. J. Jef- ; forda, wife of a well-known Atlantic Coaat LJne conductor, was very se rloualy and probably fatally hurt by a train at the Evans street crossing here thla morning, the train sir Kin* an automobile in which she was driv? ing. Mrs. Jeffords was returning from the depot in her automobile and run? ning at a lively rate of speed. She did not hear the train coming in from Charleston, which croesee {hat buay thoroughfare at Barrigner street. It Is said by those who saw the crash that the flagman was signalling the automobile, but that the women In the car did not see him, and they drove on across the tracks. The trains do not come very rapidly across the street there, but the view ia ob? structed by the buildings on each side. The auto was smashed. Mra Jef? fords' sister-in-law. Mlsa Bertha Lochner. of Ttmmonsvllle. who was In the car with her, and one of her little bovj? cried out as they aaw the train and Jumped, but Mrs. Jeffords was si.her too panic stricken to atop or had lost control of the car. The autc very nearly managed to get across, but the pilot struck the rear wheels in the centre of the track and threw Mrs. Jeffords out. probably striking her head agal.nst one of the Iron posts that have been planted there to keep vehicles from driving through that part of the right of way. Ahe was badly gashed about the head, her shoulder broken and otherwise bruised. At first the physicians thought she was fatally Injured when they carried her to the Ilderton Infirmary, which la at that corner. They have aince thought, however, that the Injuries are not so serious as they at first thought. Near Trie Truth. A New York Judge in a domestic court seems to have put his finger on a great domestic truth, the under? standing of which would settle many marital Infelicities. He told a young couple whose troubles were aired in hie court, and who sought a divorce Just because they could not get along together, that their trouble was that they saw their rights with too big an eye. and that whsn people got mar? ried they might expect to sac? rifice their rights, there could be no question of rights among married people, but just how much they could give up for each other. That judge must have had a great deal of ex? perience, or he Is a philosopher and has learned the solemn lessons of life from the experiences of other people?Florence Times. PLANNING FOK 1912. Suggestions fur Organizing an Agri? cultural and Live Stock Sliow for Next Full. The splendid meeting of the Cham? ber of Commerce held last Tuesday evening, together with the gratifying results of organization as evidenced by report* of the different commit t * s, and the big success of Bargain Day closely, following the Tuesday night meeting, have unquestionably stirred up public spirit in Sumter. Even some of the "old guard" gamecocks who have been sitting upon their roosts and declining to crow or to attend meetings have been heard to remark that they had taken advantage of Bargain Day to dispose of their "vinegar" stocks, the chief I ingredient used in manufacturing "grouches" to other and less progres? sive cities and towns and had in the meantime secured bargain day rates on supplies of molasses, sugar, taf he, gasoline and other supplies used in making up "booster dope," which is all the go now in Sumter among "real live people." The low price of cotton can't "fraz? zle" the .Sumter spirit to any great extent. In fact it is a well-known commercial maxim in Sumter that the harder times look the harder Sum-1 ter people "boost" and work for bet? ter conditions, more business, exten? sion of trade territory, and we can al? ways .manage, without microscopes, to see the "silver lining to every cloud" of temporary adversity which overshadows our commercial or ag? ricultural horizon. Plans are being discussed for the early organization of an annual live? stock and agricultural exhibit or county fair. Mr. E. I. Iteardon has interviewed a number of business men about this matter and says that the signs are favorable. Chairman I*. I. Parrott, of the Committee on Rural Relations has agreed to call his committee together this week to discuss this matter. Secretary Snell has promised Mr. Reardon his hearty support. Orangeburg's county fair la report? ed to have netted four thousand dol? lars profit t j the association this year, not to mention the benefits derived by stimulating interest among the hundreds of farmers in raising their own horses, .mules, hogs, cattle, sheep, poultry, hay, and other neces? sities for which each and every coun? ty, (Sumter County Included) sends off hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Sumter city is the best geographi? cal location for a county fair in the ?t?te. With eight lines of railway now, and the ninth line, Seaboard Air Line, on the way, with the con? venient morning and afternoon sched? ules from all of the eastern Caro? lina counties, and being the chief commercial and agricultural distribu? ting point for the great agricultural and cotton-growing section, it i? a wonder to many why Sumter business men have not before realized the benefit to this city and county of an organization to promote the raisins of livestock, and othe" products. The Chamber of Commerce will, no doubt, backed up by the Retail Dealers' Association, give this pro? posed agricultural and livestock or ganiz: tion a thorough study, and if the Si.mter county farmers and other business men show the right inter? est, the .machinery of the commer? cial organization will be started to help out the promoters of the fair. The Sumter County Farmers' Union will be asked to co-operate with the different committees of the commercial organization after Chair? man Parrott has had his committee to look into the advisability of trying to organize the association. President S. C. Baker, of the Cham? ber of Commerce, whose interesting and instructive report last Tuesday night showed how many hundreds of thousand of dollars are uselessly sent out of this county for foodstuffs which could be raised at home, and of bet? ter and more wholesome quality, at lower cost, now has the opportunity to foster his ideas that Sumter coun? ty, and all other East Carolina coun? ties, should become the shipping in? stead of the receiving points for mil? lions of dollars worth of commodities such as corn, wheat, oats, rye, Irish and sweet potatoes, peas, beans, okra, tomatoes, fruits, and other canned goods, and for mules, horses, cattle, hogs and, In fact, to be brief, that things should be reversed and this section should be sending out mil? lions of dollars surplus commercial commodities instead of having them coming in. Organized effort towards these ends can best be secured by co-operation between the merchants farmers, and real estate dealers, in the formation of an association which brings about competitive efforts with premiums of? fered for the finest and largest yields, the biggest hogs, finest mules, horses and cattle, the encouragement of di? versified farming, and the hitching up together of scientific and practical agricultural pursuits and many other stimulating methods for better con? ditions which will put this section on a cash basis, and independent of low priced cotton panics. Go at this livestock and agricul? tural exhibition on a small scale at first if a large affair can not be im? mediately financed. But organize for a 1M2 fall live stock and agricultur? al exhibit by all means. Offer suit? able and tempting prizes and have it understood that the thing is going to !m pulled off and pulled off successful? ly as Sumter county always accom | plishes things. All that is needed is co-operation. , Mr. J. M. Kolb of Privateer, who brought 4 2 children to town in one of the Bethel School wagons, won the prize for bringing the largest num? ber of persons to town on one vehi? cle on Bargain Day.
