If the plans qf a number of farm? ers about Sumtcr are successful, it seems that the city may in the not distant future become a center for shipping cattle and hogs to other markets. ' I^ast summer Dr. C. P. ?Lteen started out by purchasfng an Angus bull and recently Mayor L. D. Jennings has purchased cattle to raise beef cattle. There arc also a number of others In the vicinity of the city who are raising cattlo for market, and Sumtcr may in time be? come a center for exporting cattle. Following the advice of the Clem son Extension department the locality seems to have settled on the Angus Aberdeen type as that to raise, the de? partment's advice being to have one certain grade in a locality, so that when it comes to selling and shipping, no difficulties will be met, as the cat? tle will be of the samo type. Besides the cattle, there have been a number of farmers to enter more largely Into the hog raising industry this year than ever hefor? and Indica? tions are that more hogs will be rais? ed this yoar than usual. Besides Mr. Jennings and Mr. Harby, who recent? ly secured a start for their hog farms of pure breed animals, there are a number of other farmers who have se? cured high grade hogs from which to raise for marke? purposes Wil l III ILD M, U t.HTLIt PfcH v\ it kkrjle to roiiMnict iahftnrj Building for Butchering.

From The 1 ?aily Item. April 2'.'. A vary delightful tish fry, com? plimentary to Judge I. w. Bowman, praaldlng Judge at tiio preaent term of court, was given yesterday at Kose Hill plantation mill pond by member! of the local bar association. Several laymen were fortunate enough to receive invitations and the entire party had a most enjoyable af. ternoon. Mr. Billy McDuflle, the superin? tendent of Hose Hill plantation, very kindly superintended the arrange? ments for the culinary features. There was an abundance of fried brieam, trout, and other fish, chick? en pie, delightful corn bread, made of corn meal produced and ground on Rose Hill plantation, and all capped off with fragrant and refreshing coffee and cigars. It Wai intended that there should be a number of speeches, but after the feast was over the entire crowd? guest of honor, hosts, and the invit? ed guests were hi the predicament of the Irishman who falling out of a tree was asked If he was hurt, and re? plied, "No, begorra I am not hurt, but I am speechless." The diners were too full for utterance. Judge Bowman is very popular in Sumter, not only with members of the local bar, but with all who have had the pi isure of meeting hlrn. The guests were delighted with the opportunity afforded them of showing their kindly feeling for Judge Bow? man, and with the magnillcent bill of fare gotten up by Mr. McDufne. The visitors were taken in automobiles over the large and up to date four thousand acre Boso Hill plantation. Those present were Judge I. W. Bowman, Judge It. O. Purdy, Messrs. W. la. McLemore, Mark Reynolds, R. J. Bland, J. P. Booth, C. G. Rowland, T. E. White, L. E. White, Thomas Wil? son, John Wilson, G. A. Liemrnon, E. I. Reardon, B. W. Segars. WILL BUILD MARKET SHED. J. K.

They have eeoure I permission from the county buurU oi commissioners lor the use of a part of the county lot to build the shed and expect to do so at an early date, so that It will be ready for use during the summer. Mr. Jennings was at tho curb mar? ket every day this week, although he was not allowed to sell meat, the health department having forbidden the handling of meat on tho open curb market. He stated that it was mere ? ly to keep the curb market going that he attended, as he had only a few vegetables at the time which he could put on the market. The few others who have been attending this week have stated that their object was sim? ilar, that they would have something later on to sell, and now they merely wanted to keep the curb market go? ing, although there were some very good vegetables on the market, among them, turnips, lettuce, aspara? gus and onions.

Ducking up 10 the patient, she was found sitting on the railroad track crying and in a semi? conscious condition. Medical exami? nation at the hospital revealed that her injuries were inconsiderable, these being a slight scalp wound and one or two abrasions about the body. Mrs. Kirby was first brought to the hospital two or three months ago. Her condition after a few months became so improved that she was released two weeks ago on the customary 90 day trial, designed for patients who can bo safely entrusted to relatives. Within the last few days Mrs. Kirby's condition again became such that her recommitment was necessary. She was being brought to Columbia yes tenday on Southern railway train 4 2 from Asheville, which was said to have been running at 25 miles an hour when the incident occurred be? tween Blairs and Shelton.

A good home orchard with all of Ihe good common varieties of fruit that are easily grown in Sumter county should be an adjunct to every farm. This may be had at small cost if you go about it in the proper way. The time has come when we can no longer have fruit without combating the insects and diseases that are lurking around everywh. re. In fact there are very few things that .any? one can have any whore without some effort. Prof. C. F. Nlven, Assistant Horticulturist at Clemson College, has made arrangements with a nursery in this State to sell fruit trees through the agents in the farm demonstration work at the following prices: Peach trees, 3 cents each; grapes 6 1-2 cts; apples, 12 1-2 cts; cherries, 15 cts; plums, 12 1-2 cts and other varieties at similar prices on application to the nursery. What we are interested in most In Sumter county are the peaches and grapes. This is a natural grape and peach country and we can have as nice fruit of these varieties as you ever see about in the fruit stands for sale. Mr. Nlven has made this prop? osition through the agents and he ad? vises the agents to transmit no or? ders for a farmer unless the farmer agrees to plant the trees out properly and to keep them properly cultivated, pruned and sprayed. There has been thousands of dollars sent in Sumter county for fruit trees which have nev? er borne any fruit worth mentioning. Orchards have been planted out and ruined by allowing the single-trees to bruise them and the plows to plow up all of the surface feeding roots of the trees. Then recently the scale has been doing his deadly work, and the curcullo and borer ably assist him, so much so that we no longer have good fruit free from worms without doing something to keep the borers out and spraying to kill the scale ad curcullo. The fruit tree agents who have been charging cxhorbitant prices for their trees will tell you that these trees secured through Mr. Niven will not give satisfaction. In answer to that statement, I invite every farmer to whom such a statement is made to make a visit to Mr. S. F. Moore's, Messrs. H. C. and E. C. Haynsworth's and my own orchnrd We purchased trees last year at the above prices, t ^cepl the peach teees wore on*y 2 1-2 cts each ;?nd 1 pas very well; plsasad with the trees. They are just as good trees as the agent sells for 25 cents, and sometimes 50 and $1.00 apiece. Now all of the farmers who are going to put out trees in any old way and not take any care of them may continue to pay agents prices, but those who put out trees for the fruit they expect to get from the trees and who are willing to give at? tention necessary to develop the best fruit may see me or send me your or? ders and I will transmit them, giving the date which you wish to have the trees shipped to you, and the trees will be shipped direct to you. May we develop such home orch? ards In Sumter county that the mem? ory of eating the fruit will linger in the minds of our boys and girls and make them wish to settle on the farm and live in the country is the wish of Yours truly, J. Frank Williams. SCOTT1 TO HE PROMOTED. Strong to He Promoted to Rank Made Vacant by Elcvutioit of Staff Chief. Washington, April 14.?Brig. Gen.

AMERICAN MADE POTASH. * Company With $250,000 Capital Will Establish lnant In Baltimore. Baltimore Sun. The United States Potash Company is the name of a newly formed Mary? land corporation which claims to have discovered and patented a chemical process for securing potash from feldspar rock, which is found in con? siderable quantities in some parts of this State as well as elsewhere. Tho company, which has been organised with a capital of $250,000, proposes to locate its first plant in or near Baltimore, as its promoters say trans? portation facilities are easier here than anywhere along the coast for the economic handling of both the raw material and the finished product. The process by which potash is to be obtained from the feldspar has been examiped and tested by a local chemist, assisted by Daniel B. Banks, a local mechanical engineer, and Geo. G. Dobler as a consulting chemist. It was the report made by these ex-' perts which prompted a number of Baltimore business men to embark in the enterprise to form the focal com? pany. Germany, which exports to this country about $80,000,000 worth of potash a year, has by its refusal to continue shipments caused much con? cern to the domestic fertilizer manu? facturers because of the need of t^at article by manufacturers and farmeif. Potash is used in the manufacture fertilizer, gunpowder, soap and glaiss and has many other important uses: American chemists and investigators have for many years been endeavoring to make potash economically from feldspar rock. This Is found In un? limited quantities in many State*, but no commercially successful method for that purpose had ever been found until recently, when the Baltimore chemist improved the Swayze process patent. The process after a number of prac? tical demonstrations has not ^nK been pronounced a success from a cHefhieal standpoint, but improve? ments were **inde by the chemistf so' that two byproducts of even great? er value than the potash were pro? duced. These are potassium carbo? nate of a higher degre of purity than is obtained from that Imported from Germany, and aluminum sulphate and silicon dioxide. The former ft used as a mordant in the dye industry, and the latter in the manufacture of arti? ficial marble, tiling and in articles where a porcelain finish is required. Dally Thought.
