SUMTER13, FLORENGE 0. ?amixxk'Ks i?i:i i:\T ri i: di:i: . WARIUOKM IN IIA HD 1 Ol GUT OQHIM (??roe Wm Batumi by PHNUfi Vmmtcn and Drohen Field Running of Spann for Sumter Team and t>> Brilliant Stand of Florcuoo Lino. In one of the beet Raine? of foot? ball ever seen on the local ground* tho Sumter High School football team Friday afternoon defeated tho team from the Florence High School. The ?core of 13 to 0 tells the result, but H does not Indicate tho fierceness of the contest which was waged for nearly two hours at the horse show grounds with a small crowd of spec? tators on the sidelines to cheer for the home boys. Sumter s score came in the first and last quarters. It was about the mid? dle of the first quai tor, when Spann made a short forward pa*>s over cen? ter to Flowers, who got away from the whole Florence team for a sixty yard run and a touchdown. In the last quarter a couple of successful forward passes and a long end run by Spann took tho ball down the field to striking distance of the goal and Douglas took it over tho line in a tackle over tackle play. Twice in the sec d quarter the Sumter men had a fine chance to score, but they buck? ed the Flor^re line, which held firm and four down with eight yards to go merely carried tho ball to within a foot of the line, when it went to Flor? ence on down* Florence's kick was blocked and recovered by Haynsworth on the t*n yard line. Again the ball was cart.xl to within one foot of tho goal line, when the half ended as the ball passed over to Florence again on downs. Never was the Sumter goal Uno se? riously threatened, but frequently the heavy Florence backs ripped holes in the line off tackle and made gains of from two to eight yards. However, the hacks were generally held and were forced to kick. Sumter also was forced to kick repeatedly, the ex? changes always resulting in gains of from five to fifteen yards in favor of Flower* who did good work with his boot. The game was hard fought from start to finish and was a pretty one for the spectators. The fine work of the Florence lino through which tho Sumter backs seldom mado any distance and the * ?rward passing of the Sumter men, Spann to Flowers generally. featured the contest. Spanne broken field running was spectacular and his head work at quarter places him as the scintillating star of the game. Flowers' pretty handling of forward passes, despite an injured hand and finger, was something fine. Shaw's excellent de? fensive work showed him a tower of strength for his team. Douglas also played good ball in the line. For Florence Bass did the beat of? fensive work, while Brunson and the two Florence tackles did beautiful de? fensiv? work, especially In breaking up forward passes. In which Mc Clenaghan and Holman aided no lit? tle bit. During the first and second quar? ters the ball was kept almost contin? uously In Florence territory, whllo in the third quarter the Florence men showed up strong and kept tho ball near the center of tho field In Sumter territory. In the last quarter the Sumter men again had the advan? tage and after one touchdown were again threatening the Florence goal when the referee's whistle idew.

Mr. Lehmann arrived here Sunday morning and was taken from Sumter to Manning in an automobile. At Manning he spoke at 11 o'clock to an audience of several hundred. His subject was: "Conservation of Our I Natural Resources," and he made a strong plea to his audience to make the best use of their talents. From Manning he was taken to Harmony church, where he spoke at 3 p. m. His subject here was "The Three Big Words In Christian Endeavor?Con? servation, Enthusiasm and Service." Iiis address was entirely elifferent from that of the morning and he was heard by a large and enthusiastic aud? ience. Mr. Lehmann came on from Har? mony Church to Sumter, where he made two more addresses. Both were filled with new thoughts for Chris? tian work and old thoughts set forth In a new light. Mr. Lehmann proved himself a charming speaker, old and young listening with rapt attention while he was talking. He had many illustrations which he used in bring? ing out his points. He told of the growth of the Christian Endeavor work in the United States from an or? ganization of twelve to an organiza? tion with four million active workers. The keynote of his addresses was ac? tive service, and he aroused much greater interest in the society than has been shown before. During the day Mr. Lehmann) spoke to probably fifteen hundred persons at the four meetings and all were charm? ed with him. At the meeting here there were twenty-four persons from Btshopvllle who came over as dele? gates from the Christian Endeavor Society of that place to hear Mr. Leh? mann speak. These were entertained here by members of the society for supper so that they could attend the night meeting also.

Sev? eral hundred dollars are needed for this purpose and the leaders here were very much gratified at the liberal re? sponse which was made yesterday.
