Nov. 1 I. Tho event of the munty fair toda> was the speech of Senator K. D Smith. He had large audience tha filled tho grand stand ami crowded around the speaker's stand, hut hi h| oke under the greatest difficulty , and was at a disadvantage, for In the CTOWd were many school children Who kept up a continual racket and, WOrt. moving an und continually while he was speaking. Senatoi Smith spoke on a serious subject and h id an impotrnnt message to delicti to serious minded and thinking poo pi . and it was therefore unfortunab that so many of the sehool children WSjre assembled in tin* . grandstand wAen It was announced that Senator Smith was ahout to begin speaking. The children would have been much' happier and more entertained If the; had been turned loose in the carni? val grounds, or elsewhere, and th j spff( h-makiniv and spech-hearlng lef to the grown-ups. Senator Smith discussed th*' wai and Its bearing upon agricultural and ? ? onovnlc conditions. He brought th matter directly home to the people o tie- South and to the farmers, espe etaHylte the termer * of sumter coun ty. flo appealed to his audience te r ake up and to realize that theVe 1 i greet gad letrlble trSs^MmeibllM resting upon them and that It Is thei duty to make the most strenuous atod loyal o forts to grow food to feed th South and provide a large surplus t help feed the non-productive classe i of the halance of this country an. tKe starving people in Kurope. lb i d that he could not understand wir so many of our people have thus fa.

Plans Should Now he Made for Larger Tobacco Acreage and More Grain The Sumter Chamber of Commerce is urging the hanks and mercantile establishments of Sumter and Sumter county to use their Influence towards having every farmer, white and color ed, to plant some tobacco during 1 D V so that there will be some surplus to? bacco money in circulation again nexi year. A great deal of the present pros perity among farmers is due to th< high prices received for tobacco this year with which hundreds paid thei. debts, leaving their cotton receipts a: surplus cash. Of course every line o business benefits from plenty of mon ay In circulation. The time to prepare tobacco bed: is near at hand, and if there is to 1 'any thing done towards a campaign for tobacco planting it should b< I started now. The high pries' of cotton will un I doubtedly cause a tremendous ac reage of that farm product) but one crop method is an uncertain OUi iness proposition for farmers at all times, and during this war this would prove a menace to business general ly. Next to cotton, tobacco is th surest crop for Which a ready estah Ushed market la created, with the eel talnty of a big demand. The importance of planting SUfli Olent acreage of wheat to supply th demands of the people of Bumte county during the war. together wit. plenty of velvet beans, soy beans, win ter cover crops, winter gardens, en the raising of tho greatest nbundanc of hogs, poultry, ami getting read) for another bumper corn crop at matters that should interest farm bankers and merchants, as well a land owners alike, i There is grave danger that the hie prices of cotton will cause a stamped towards a greater acreage than i safe, considering the uncertainty <? the immediate business future, an a. decrease in other farm product which provide food for man and bea. and which will increase in cost as th war progresses. It must be remom bored that the taking of millions n men, white and colored, hundreds 0 thousands of white and colored pro ducers from the farms will nee es sarlly have a tendency towards r< ductlon of acreage of corn, wheat and other food products, while w the same time greatly Increasing th cost of everything we eat. Extra cash will be needed no mal ter how much is received for cottoi or other farm producta, Therefor the switching it) of tobacco as a dead sure profit making cash crop is a go > idea on the part of every farmer.

Hy Clever use <>l" Forward Pass They Triumph Over Heavy Boys I'nmt Capital City?The Lame in Detail. From The Daily Item. Nov. 14. Outweighed but not outgamed, the Sumter high school defeated the boys representing the Columbia htgh aehool this morning at the Fair Grounds The Sumter boys used the overhead attack to advantage, and this Inter? spersed with split bucks and oil tackle plays netted them two touch? downs. Columbia scored in the final period by forward passes and wide end runs. It look them thre< downs to carry the ball over when only a foot from goal. The game was called at twelve v o'clock with Sumter receiving the klckoff. The ball was fumbled ami wag near their own goal but they kicked out of danger. There was no scoring this period the ball being kept in Sumter territory most of the time The second quarter saw the Game? cocks open ui> with some of the pass? es ami they got a touchdown near tin close of the period on a clever de- | layed pass from Jennings to Dennis ton. Hurst kicked the goal. Columbia received at the beginning of the second half and by a series of wide end rune got within ten yards oi the local's goal. Here they were halt? ed .and the ball punted out of danger No store was registered this period The opening of the fourth period sav. Sumter again resorting to forward passes and again a. clever pass from Jennings to Denn sion, who ran thirty yards after catching the ball, netted the second touchdown. Hurst again kicked goal. After this Columbia re? ported to at open attack and during the last. tWO minutes of play succeed? ed In currying the ball over, Harne registering the touchdown. Pearc kicked goal. With only a minute t< play, Sumter received and gamed on several end runs when the whiatb blew. For Sunder the entire team played Well against their heavier opponents and too much praise can not be giv en the team, for their plucky ligh against great odds. Captain Du Kant carried the bal well, tackled well and was a towei of strength. Jennings again passed well, ran weli with the ball and played a tine de fenslve game. Denniston was one o the best ground gainers of the day Hurst and Cothran at tackles played well also. Cothran and Pitts, at quarterback, ran the team with skip and judgment. Columbia had tw< good backs in Pearco and Madden, and Horton at tackle was the best lineman on the field. The line-up fo lows: Sumter. Columbia Phelps . . Center '.. .. Mnrdaugri iRhame.R.

Washington, Nov. 14.?It Is said that DaniOl Boone and some of on other early pioneers i ould g<> Into tin wilderness with only a ride and i sack of salt ami live in comfort 01 the game and other wild food whicl the woods afforded. While few peo pie want to try that sort of thin nowadays, persons who know the too-, value of the fruits of our native tree and shrubs are, according to forester able to use them to pood advantage ii supplementing other foods. Aside from the numerous edibb mushrooms, roots, fruits of shrub: and smaller plants, the trees of out forests afford a luge variety of edi bio . whic h are highly prized by wood: connoisseurs. Pirsl In Importance, o course, nro our native nuts ?beech nuts, butternuts, walnuts, chestnut* and chinquapins, hasel nuts, foul sev eral kinds of hickory nuts, Including pecans. The kernels of all of these are not only tooth ome but highly nu trlllous ami are used by vegeterlan* to replace meat. The oil of the beech nut is said to be little inferior to OllVe Oil, while that of butternut and Walnuts was Used by some of tin Indians for various purposes. Tin Indians, ii is said, also formerly mixed chestnuts with cornmoal and made a bread which was baked In corn husks, bke toinalea In parts of Fu rope bread Is made from chestnut* alone. The chestnut crop in this country Is being reduced each year bj ihe chestnut-blight disease which in some sections is gradually killing out the tree. Acorns are commonly thought to be tit only for feeding hogs, but main kinds of them can be made edible ami nourishing for people as well. Tin Indian custom was to pound or grind the acorns tin and leach out the tannin, which mattes most of them unfit for eating when raw. by treat? ing tho pulp with hot water* The Ml resulting Hour, which contained con? siderable starch, was made eith? er into a porridge or baked in small cakes of bread. As a rule, the acorns of the various white oaka hav? ing less tannin are the ones best suit? ed for food, but Indians also used those of the black oaks.feven though they contain much tannin. Tho acorns of the baske: or cow oak, the Chinquapin oak, slm or Uocky Moun? tain oak, live oak, S ad of several oth? er species, arc sweet enough to bo eaten raw. Another nut which is not suited for eating raw, but from which a pala? table food is said to have been pro? pared by the Indians la the buckeye. The kernels ot thoso nuts were dried, powdered, and freed of the poison Which they contain when raw by filtration. The resulting paste was either eaten cold or baked. Several western pines have seeds, which play an Important part in the" diet of the local Indians. Perhaps the best known of these is the fruit of the nut pine or plnon which forms the basis for a local industry of some size. Not only is it extensively eat? en by local settlers and Indians, but large quantities are shipped to# tho cities where the seed is roasted and told on the Street. The similar seed of the Parry pine and the large Olg ger pine seeds are eagerly sought by the Indians. The latter tree is said to have gained its name from its use as a food by the Digger Indians. Tho seeds of the longl if pine are edible and are improved by roasting. In? deed, it may be s id that most nuts are more digestible when roasted than if eaten raw. One of the best known fruits, the foresters say. Is the persimmon, which is edible on y after it is thor? oughly ripe. As this is usually not until late Inf the fall, it is commonly thought that the frui must be frost kitten. If tho pi rsimmon is eaten before it is well iIpanSlt. the tannic acid which the fruit contains has a Strongly astringent effect, which justifies tho story of the soldier in the civil War who said he had eaten green persimmons so as to shrink his stomach up to fit his rations. The pawpaw, or custard apple, is also best when thoroughly ripe. The fruit of tome species of haws is eaten or preserved In different parts of the country, while those of several dif? ferent kinds of w Id < hi t ries have a food value and are us?mI for various purposes. Wild plums are abundant III certain sections- and occur in par? ticularly plentiful quantities along the dreams In the Kadern and Middle Western States. Several varieties of wfTd' cralrVp ples make delicious jo/flies. Some of che largest, which attain the size of Small apples, are core or less abund? ant throughout eastern North Caro? lina. Btderbcries are frequently usbd for pies and for sauce. Those found in the West are sweeter and have a better flavor than the eastern va*? rieties. The berries of the hackberry, or sugar berry, as It is called in the South, are dry but have an agreeable taste. Those of the mulbeiry arO sweet and juicy when ripe. The mul? berry la valued it some sections for feding hogs and poultry and some spech s are occasl malty cultivated. .Many people III e tho fruit of the ?had buah, "service" berry, or June berry, as it is variously called. In parts of the count ry this fruit is used to make jelly. The French Canadians are said to use the acid'flowi rs <>f the redbvd, or lud.is tree, In salads, while the buds and tender pods are pickled in Tint Bar. Honey locust pods, often local lly called "honey-.sh.ucks," contain a sweetish, thick, cheeselike pulp, which is often eaten.
