Lack or Pinch Hitting l?ost <?antc for l 4n h|h?Xuuna maker Hew for Fir>t Time. I'efhune took the first Kamo from Sumter on Thursday afternoon hy the ?OOn of ' to 1. The score indicates Mi it the gume was a good one and it Wat Just as good as the score indi? cate. There were plenty of thrilling moments, hut Sumter's usual lack of pinch hitters may be set down as the reason for the loss of the game b> the locals. Nunnamaker. the high school pitch? er, was seen for the first time since the high school season closed and It was a pretty game that he pitched for the locals, allowing only four hits In seven innings. Frank Char. Her was not In his usual form and asked to be allowed to retire from the box to right field during the second inning. In batting .Chandler was the only one of the locals who could "get on" to King's delivery, he having secured a single in the first Inning, bringing in the only score of the game for Sumter, und a three bagger in the eighth. No one could secure a hit at this critical moment and he died on third. Not a single run was earned, as it was due to Chandler's fumble of a hot grounder that iteaves made the first for the visitors, and to an error that the second was sent In, both of which were made in the sec v?nd inning. A summary is as follows: R. H. E. Sumter. 1 6 2 Hethune. 2 6 2 Chandler, Nunnamaker and Hums; King and Heaves. Ump're Bur? roughs; Scorer, Green. Til HEAT FROM DISTANT LANH.

And reading on. the letter says: "Along about the middle of No? vember a mysterious box will be left at your office. It will contain cans fllrd with rt ? ???eetlrh liquid nnd snmp solid matter.

"Tho reason the box will reach you about the middle of November is because we In the Hawaiian Islands, the baby Territory of the United States, will celebrate the second an? nual Pineapple Day on Tuesday, No? vember 23, 1915. On that day the pineapple will be elevated to royal honors, and will be crowned king of fruits. Therefore Hawaiian Pineap? ple Day/ everywhere, will be Tuesday, November 23, 1915, on which date we expect almost the entire mainland will have Hawaiian pineapples for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and on that day we ask you to open these cans and partake of the luscious pine? apples therein at your own table. *We know that everywhere on the mainland our fellow Americans In the leading hotels, in railroad dining cars and steamship saloons, will rend on their menus 'Hawaiian Pineapple Day' and find many of the dishes com? posed of Hawaiian pineapples.

Most Instructive Encampment ever If ml, Says Hubert T. Broun, First Lieutenant of Slimier Light Infan try?l<es.s Whiskey Sold Militiamen ami Be>t Order Maintained?Smu ter Men Bass as Sharpshooters. The Sumter Light Infantry, Com? pany L. National Guard of South I Carolina of the Second Hegiment J which has just been on a ten days' en? campment at Greenville, S. C, re? turned home Saturday, reaching the I city at about 1,10 on the special train I which was put on here to take the Sumter, Charleston, Elloree and Tim monsivlle militia off for their sum? mer camp. The members of tLt Com? pany report having a line time on encampment and say that the site of the camp was one of the best in re? cent years. Nothing of an unfortu? nate nature happened to any of the company members during their ab sence from the city and save for a slight amount of sunburn the sol? diers seemed in excellent health on their return. I First Lieutenant Brown was very enthusiastic on the subject of the en Icampment just ended. He stated that it was the most profitable and pleas? ant that he had ever been on, and one that the second regiment could well be proud of. In reference to the published statement that there had been liquor sold on the encamp-| ment to the militiamen, he stated that he had not seen a single drunk? en man during the whole encamp? ment and he could vouch for the fact that less liquor was consumed by the members of the regiment than on any other encampment they had been on in recent years. He stated that he had heard of a number of "hip" tigers loafing In the woods on the edge of the camp, but this was an enemy that the militia officers 1 could not satisfactorily handle. Lieut. Brown stated Col. Springs told the members of the regiment that he knew that many of them wouU have to give up their summer vaca? tions to come on this encampment and he would therefore do all in his power to rnakt ti e program 000 tb-i won 14 have this it tnind and at th? San ? time y.i><- instruction in military maneuvers. There were no lOfl | dukes, nor were the troops kept out marching during the heat of the day. Each battalion was required to go out on one hike and pitch their shelter tents for a bivouac on the mountain side for the night, but the boys rath? er enjoyed this novelty. They had to cook their own rations alongside their tents, a feature which proved im? mensely diverting and which all en Joyed. The camp was pitched on the side of Paris mountain and although the weather was warm in the middle of the day, at night blankets had to be hauled out and used for covering. A feature of the daily inarches and drills, as viewed by Mr. Brown, was the fact that every day captain and two lieutenants were to be seen with the company on its drills, where on other encampments generally some of these officers loafed around tent while the company went on the marches. The troops were pleased with Greenville and Greenville was loud in its praises of the excellent or? der maintained by the militiamen. TWO of the Sumter company secur? ed places as sharpshooters, First Lieut. Brown and Sgt. Jack Owens, and two were numbered with the marksmen, Sgt. Allen HI' irdson and Private Jules Morris. The other companies which arriv? ed here Saturday afternoon on the special train waited over until later in the afternoon, when they left for their homes at Elloree, Timmonsville and Charleston on the regular trains. Capt. P. M. Brown has not yet re? turned home, having taken a trip off at the breaking up of the encamp? ment. PLAN CATTLE MAKKET. Hog?Cl Citizens Confer With W. W. 1/ong. I Florence, July 17.?W. W.

AI Keels Departs With Swamp Cox Fire Fighters for Iowa. Prom The Daily Item, July 16. Al Keels was one of those to pull out from here last night on the train for Columbia at 9.30, but that was not his destination. He joined the members of the Swamp Fox lire lighting crew when they passed through here on their way to Iowa City, Iowa, where they will partici? pate in the big firemen's tournament to be held at that place on July 22nd. Al was in fine spirits and the Swamp Foxes believe that in him they have the right man to help them win a signal victory. While away the team will make exhibition runs daily and may stop over in Blue Island, 111., on their way home for a contest in the Illinois State Firemen's tournament. The firemen will be gone for about three weeks. PL A YG RO UHDS FOB CHILDREN. People Asked not to Pick Flowers, the Grounds are Private Property. A great many people in the city do not know that the lot I ' own as the "Children's Playgrounds" is private property and kindly lent to the Civic league as a place where the children of the city may gather to seek whole? some amusement. The trees and flowers on these grounds do not be? long to the Civic League, but belong to Dr. China, the owner of the prop? erty, who asked the Civic League to see that care was taken of trees and flowers when he lent the lot. It is therefore requested that people do not pick the flowers or in any way do anything to spoil the beauty of the trees. Sunday members of the Civic League passing the playgrounds saw some ladies with their hands full of the flowers, and believing that there are others who do not know of the fact that this is private property, they asked that The Item mention the matter and request that in fuure per? sons desist from any trespasing, such as that noted. WAR DEPENDS ON COTTON. British Scientist Says Central Empires Can Not Prosecute Conflict Without It, London, July 17- -Sir WJUiar at. U-irYv!- y. the Well known liritish sol untirtt, In discussing today the s ate ment of W. F. Reid that cotton is not necessary for production of high ex? plosives, renewed his campaign for the "supreme necessity for exclud? ing cotton from our enemy's country." The scientist says there is no dis? pute between himself and Mr. Reid; the latter referred to material used in charging shells, while Sir William referred to the firing charge when he said that "modern propulsive explo? sives are not made without cotton." j Sir William asserts thai during May 19 times as much cotton as its nor? mal supply was allowed to enter Holland and adds: "It is certain that it passes into Germany, although may be indirect? ly." The scientist said that when ex? portation of cotton to the central pow? ers stopped it "will not be long be? fore we see the end of the war." CHINA'S DISTRESS GREATER.
