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:

State's Chief Executive Receives
Warning Erom Far Off Hawaii.
Columbia, July 17.?"This is a
threat." begins a letter which reached
Qov. Manning this morning from the
Hawaiian promotion committee, of
which A. P. Taylor, of Honolulu, is
acting director. 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. We d-.re you to oped it,
but if y a tiv the uin .m<? do op? ???
rhw nix. vou wli! !Kd it AHe l with sev?
eral cans of delicious Hawaiian pine?
apples.
"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.
Next to sugar, and we raise about
$50.000.00 worth every year, Hawaiian
pineapples are our second leading
pFOl cf. and while Hawaiian, they
are full fledged American pines."

LIKED ENCAMPMENT.

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.

LEAVES FOR TOURNAMENT.
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."
