Cedcf Game Warden Receives Reports
as to Cases From Thanksgiving
Day.
Columbia, Dec. 8.?A. A. Richard?
son, State chief game warden, said
yesterday that reports he had receiv?
ed from game wardens throughout the
State Indicated that violations and
accidents Thanksgiving day were few
Twenty-three violations were report?
ed, all of which were minor offenses.
According to these reports, there were
only two accidents: James Howe, a
small boy of Pickens county, was ac?
cidentally shot in the leg and J. Acy
Todd was also accidentally wounded.
STATE DEATH RATE LOWERED.

Columbia, Dec. 8.?"If each Indi?
vidual who died was worth $500 to
the State, then by saving the lives of
t.oi'5 persons the State hoard of
health has saved the State $612,500 on
a total appropriation of $55,575.23,"
says James A. Hayne, M. D., State
health officer in his report for the leg*
Mature after calling attention to the
decrease in the number of deaths
from preventable diseases. "We
claim that the State board of health
has prevented these diseases," says
Dr. Heyne. Liberal support for the
State tuberculosis hospital at State
park Is asked in the report.

MUST SAVE SEED SUPPLY.
Cotton Growers Urged to Conserve
Stock.
^Washington, Doc. t.?The United
j Suite* bureau of plant industry to
Ufcr advised ootton growers to moke
ceVt^in of their supply of seed for
'planning next season.
"AU kinds of cotton seed are likely
I to be scarce at planting time next
spring," said the statement. "The
unprecedented'prices now being paid
at the oil mills may tempt many
fa *mers to cut down their reserves of
planting seed or to sell all of It, per?
haps with the Idea of being able to
buy eeed of a better variety for only
a little more than the mills are now
paying for ordinary gin run seed.
While it is always desirable to re?
place an Inferior stock with a better
one, It would be well to make sure of
?he good planting seed as soon as
possible.
"Another danger to the seed sup?
ply lies In the possibility that grow?
ers who have good seed of superior
vurietlse may think it easier to sell
It at once to the oil mill Instead of
holding it to sell for planting. This
is a special danger in connection with
the new early maturing long staple
varieties. As only limited supplies
of good seed of these varieties are in
existence It may he urged that all of
this should be saved for planting
purpose!."
Small Attendance Upon Show.
The second annual Poultry and
Pigeon show of the Sumter County
Poultry and Pigeon Asoclation will
close tonight, after a :nost success?
ful show from the exhibition stand?
point. It will not be a successful
show, hewever, from a financial stand?
point, for the attendance has been
disappointingly small and merely u
noi .inal sum has been taken in from
ndmittnr ces.
The bfrds exhibited are the best in
the State and the show is as good as
any whic h has been held in the State
in recent years, but it seems that tho
people of Sumter are not Interested
In chickens, for besides the exhibi?
tor*, there have hardly been over
twenty-five people who have visited
the show. The majority of thosv
who went to see the birds were froin
the county, outside of the city, and
from neighboring town*.

MUCH DISCUSSION OVER UNUSU?
AL MONTGOMERY CASE.
Neighbors Confounded With Undls
putable Evidence to Prove Facts.
Of course a man's neighbors are
always interested in his welfare and
health and the case of Mr. J. B.
Knighton, at 27 Monroe street, Mont?
gomery, Ala., aroused much discus?
sion and sympathy. Mr. Knighton
suffered so with rheumatism that he
did not have the use of his arms for a
year. Much alarm was felt over his
condition as it was thought that he
would never regain the use of the
member.
Speaking of his case, Mr. Knight
ton says, "I suffered so with rheu?
matism for a year that I could not
use my arm. Then I commenced
taking Siulferro-Bcl ; nd after taking
four bottles am glad to say my arm
is as well and strong as ever. I can't
praise Sulferro-Sol too highly."
Sulferro-Sol is sold and recommend?
ed by every Druggist In Sumter and
vicinity. Murray Drug Co., State Dis?
