Sumter, it will be seen, stood ex?

the last city in the campaign, a place
which she needs by no means feel
ashar.ed of. The campaign began at

Bon of Mr. H, W. Scott, was stricken
several weeks ago with what the doc?
tors thought paralysis. He was taken
to Johns Hopkins, accompanied by
Dr. Cheyne and two of his brothers.
Alter diagnosing his case, the physi?
cians at the hoapital said they could
find no symptoms Of paralysis*, but
by the X-ray a small blot just, be?
hind and a little to one side o? eye
was noted, otherwise, they said they
saw nothing wrong with him ex?
cept that they were not giving him
enough to eat and ordered a g*ood
breakfast. He remnined there a tew
days and came home and was ap?
parently getting well. He came ov-er
here the first of the week, accom?
panied by his wife to spend a few
days with his brother, Mr. J. B. Scott.
A few days ago he was taken. With
those same violent neuralgic pains in
his head and has been very bIcV
since, We hope that it Is nothing se? {
rlous and that he will soon bo up

COVERT CASE TO JURY,
Case Consumes All of Afternoon and
Morning?Jury Visits Scene.
Tho case of Frank Covert against
the Atlantic Coast lane Railroad com?
pany for $2,999 damages, alleged due
because of alleged injuries received
through the alleged carelessness of
the railroad company In backing a
swindling engine Into a car where he
was unloading hay. The CU8C was
begun Thursday bet?re eourt took its
recess and continued all afternoon
and all of Friday morning. During
the morning the jury was taken to the
scene to see for themselves just how
and what it was alleged was done
there.
The case went to the jury after 1
o'clock, when court took its usual
recess. Messrs. Jenninga and Epps
conducted the plaintiff's case and
Messrs. McLemore and Reynolds were
the attorneys for the defendant.
Save the nur and Crimson Clover
Seed.
During the next few weeks many
th< uaanda of acres of bur and < rimaon
( lover will conn- to maturity, and it
is exceedingly important that ar?
rangements be made now for saving a
big crop of clover seed. Last fall tho
demand, particularly for bur clover.
far exceeded the supply and. as t re?
sult, toward the end of the season the
few seed available were quoted at c'i
a bushel.
in the South interest in these two
great soil-improving crops has been
greatly stimulated during recent
years, and the demand for seed this
fail will likely be far greater than'
ever before. We know of many
farmers who failed to plant clover
last fall simply because the seed were
not to be had. and those of our read?
ers who are growing clover should
arrange to help supply the cerainly
big demand next fall.
We know one farmer who hag re?
cently bought for $26 a clover-huller
attachment for his ordinary threshing
machine. This attachment is manu?
factured by one of the largest imple?
ment concerns In the country, and is
guaranteed to <b? satisfactory work. If
it proves entirely successful the way
to cheaper crimson clover seed seems
open. Bui even where a clover-hub
lor is not to be had, crimson clover
seed for home use may be saved by
hand and sowed chaff and all, uBlni
per acre about three times the weight
of cleaned seed ordinarily used.
\V ith bur clover no hulling is neces
Bary; In fact, it is really a disadvan?
tage, since the seed in tin- bur carry
Inoculation. When the bur clover dies
early in May all that is necessary Is
to rake away the stems and trash and
sweep up the clover seed. Of course,
If the seed are intended for rrarket,
all dirt and trash should be screened
<vut; but If they are to be used at
home this is m>t necessary.
The demand for clover seed next!
fall will likely break all records; we
hope Progressive Farmer readers who
are already growing clover are pepar
ing to aid In supplying this demand.?
