"The committee on Judiciary aub mlta an unfavorable report on a bill by Mr. MeMillan to grant women the right of suffrage In South Carolina," announced Mr. Simkins. the clarion voiced reading clerk of the house, when the committee report was hand? ed in. "Bill by Mr. McMillan," said Speak? er Smith. "The question is upon the adoption of the unfavorable report of the committee.

Tho people of Sumter are n<? doubl well acquainted with the fact that there has been dlSCUIsed for NIM time a proposition to form a Georgia-South Carolina but ball Itnun. comprising posetbly the cltlea of Augusta, Columbia, Spartanburg. Greenville, Sumter ami maybe one or two "ther towns in Georgia ami South Carolina. The matter has been discussed in the other towns more ful? ly than in Sumter, probably, but it has been talked of by a few of the nnntbnll fans here. However, so far as known, the Sumter business men and baseball tans do not seem at all enthusiastic about Joining the proposed circuit, or in anyway con? necting itself with organized baseball at this time, probably because of the fact that the former attempts in or? ganized baseball here were by no means a financial success for those who invested money in the local club. When asked about tho matter Saturday morning, some of the form? et officers of the club stated that while they would like to see Sumter In organized baseball and were will? ing to contribute towards the forma? tion of a club here, they certainly would not take any active part in the management of the club. One or two of those questioned stated that they had heard the matter mentioned, but that it had not been discussed to any extent and they did not know how public sentiment was towards organiz? ed baseball. Others stated that they had not heard the matter mentioned and were not fully acquainted with the proposition to form a Georgia Carolina league. Altogether, the fans do not seem enthusiastic, and it is doubtful If Sumter becomes a member of the proposed league. entertain at dinner dance Misses Wilson ami Rowland Hostesses to Small Party of 1 fiends.

A New Enterprise for Sumter. It will no doubt be of great inter? est to the people of Sumter to learn that, there is to be a truck farm in operation this season, located about three miles from town, on the Broad street road and :o bo known as "Clear View Truck Farm." it has been a long felt want, and the fact of it now being a reality will conn- as good news to many. One oi our snterprisl ig young farmers, Mr. J. K. Jennings, planted a few acres of J truck last season, and finding that there was profit in it, decided to in? crease the acreage and this year will plant on a much larger scale. Associated with Mr. Jennings tue Messrs. M. 1 >. and I. G. Hag-dale of Virginia, who have had much ex? perience ht the truck business and will give the business their personal atten? tion.
