CAM* ATTENTION TO ACCIDENT.
Wm. Smith Tells of Criminal Neg?
ligence on Purt of Auto Party.
Editor Dally Item.
Please allow me spare in your pa?
per to say a few words In regard to
an accident which occurred on Man?
ning avenue, near the N. W. R. R., on
last Sunduy evening. I was on my
way to church and heard an automo?
bile approaching me from behind. At
the samo time a man riding a wheel
passed going In the direction of the
automobile. A minute or two after
that I heard a crash. The automo?
bile stopped and on running back I
found the man lying prostrate in the
road. I asked the folks In the auto?
mobile If the man was killed, and at
I the same time a woman In the auto?
mobile hollered "Get some cold wa?
ter quick." I
I ran back to my house nearby for
the water and a light, but before I
could get back to the scene of the ac?
cident I heard the automobile being
rapidly driven away.
I thought the parties had decided
to rush the man to the hospital, but
found that they had dragged him to
one side of the road and left him
lying against the bank apparently
thinking he was dead. With the aid
of some/ neighbors and passersby 1
applied the cold water to his head and
after a while he regained conscious?
ness and said his name was Burns
(colored) and that he lived beyond
Pocalla Springs.
He seemed to have beeu badly cut
and bruised about the head and face
and was bleeding froely. Some
friends secured a horse and buggy
and took him to Dr. Felder's office on
Manning avenue for treatment, and
later he was taken home.
e
I do not know whether the parties
In the automobile wore white or col?
ored nor do I know who was respon?
sible for the accident as neither of
them had a light but really some?
thing should be done to prevent so
much faitt and reckless driving of
automobiles on Manning avenue. Per?
sons on i'oot and in horse-drawn ve?
hicles are constantly In danger.
Tours truly,
William Smith,.

COUNTY COTTON (iRADER.
During a long d stance telephone
conversation Congressman A. P, Lev?
er, the chairman of the committee on
agriculture of the house of represen?
tatives at Washington, informed Sec?
retary Hcardon, of the Sumter Cham?
ber of'Commerce lad Wednesday that
he would be dellglitcd to come to
Sumter to address s meeting of Sum?
ter county farmers along the lines of
cooperative marketing of cotton.
Mr. Lever said th it the government
expert grader at Orangeburg would
be paid by the government, and his
work there Is as yet experimental,
but Mr. Lever thought that cotton
selling associations arc the right thing
for Sumter couny, and all other
Southern cotton producers, even if the
farmers have to pay the expert grader
themselves.
He said that the cotton producers in
one county in Oklahoma organized
and hired a grader paying him as
much as $3,000.00 a year, and they
thought the money well expended. He
talked along the same lines over the
telephone as he expressed at the St.
Matthows cotton association meeting
on September 21st. He did not think
it possible at this time to secure, at
government expense, a government
cotton grader, but thought that or?
ganization of the cotton producers and
securing by them of a grader would
certainly educate the farmer as to
what his cotton is worth by posting
him as to its real grade so that the
farmer can then see that his cotton
sells for real market value. All he
wants Is several days' notice in ad?
vance to address tha Sumter county
farmers.
President J. Frank Williams, of
the Sumter County Farmers' Union,
President R. B. Reiser, of the Sum?
ter Chamber of Commerce, and Sec?
retary E. I. Rcardon conferred yes?
terday regarding the calling of the
meeting of Sumter county cotton pro?
ducers to hear Congressman Lever.
The Sumter Chamber of Commerce is
ready to arrange for the meeting, and
to secure Congressman Lover at any
time the farmers ara ready. It Is to
he hoped that the farmers will be
sufficiently Interested to attend the
meeting In large numbers if It is call
Sumte * people Und those of tho sur?
rounding country are assured of a
treat on Wednesday night when all of
the fall ilashlons are to be shown on
living nodels. Hi.ndsome dresses
will be displayed by beautiful models,
