FOR A GREATER COUNTY PAHtj The Sumter County Fair mange- j ln-ent is trying this year to make 0ie I v Gamecock Fair the event in the lives of Sumter county citizens It should be. The association . was organized for the purpose of building up the livestock in the county and to help! the agricultural interest and not to .?make mottey for its stockholders, j This year when the farmers of the; county are 'enjoying a very prosperous. .Xear. the mangement has decided, to add some very desirable free attrac tions. The Royal Scotch Highlanders Concert Band has been engaged for five hours each day for the last three days of the fair to entertain those who attend the fair. This band is second ohjy to the MaMne arid Sousa's Band. The leader of this hand says thai ev ery piece of music that can be men tioned by any Sumter county citizen is included in their reportoir, and will be played, when requested to do so. The Dellemeade Troupe is aso engag ed to perform all kinds of acrobatic . stunts and ciovelty acts, among them being the spectacular aerial feats on the revolving wheel and high ladders. "We do not want this to be a one sided show and only entertain <hose who attend the fair with music and acting but we wish to have on tx hibit all of the best live stock in the county and agricultural products. The premium list has been doubled for nearly all of the live stock and there will be\no entry fees except in the poultry department. The National Pank of Sumter has -decided to *?*?t on a boll weevil'booth in -which P he Stationed experts to discuss xl.i farmers all kind of problems that are row confronting the farmers of Sum ter comity- on account of the advent of the,j3>oll weevil. I trust that these ex . perts will be able to answer the oft-; repeated question, How much damage i is the boll weevil likely to do to mej on my farm next year? Thursday will / be Boll ;Weevil Day. "We shall not j erect a monument to the weevil atj ?his time as has been done hi one county in Alabama, but I trust that ."we shall take'advantage of the infor maton that has been derived during ( the progress of the weevil all of the way from the Mexican border until he has reached our own beloved home county, and not- suffer the conse quences that has beer, the result of his appearance in other territory sim ilarly situated. ' i It is customary for a great many farmers to visit the exhibits of fairs and remark that they have better pro . ducts at home. I have always felt that such remarks -were in bads taste, especially when good money was being offered as premiums for the best ex hibits, and if you have any idea that you have something better than others We cordially invite you to bringt it along and place it on exhibit for th$ .benefit of the other farmers who are less "fortunate in producing. Prof. "J. A. Evags, assistant to Mr. Bradford Knapp in charge of the demonstration work of the South will be present'and "deliver an address on the subject of his majesty, the Boll Weevil, on Thursday at 12 o'clock in the. fair grounds. Mr. Evans has been in the work fighting the boll weevil ever since he crossed the Mexican bor der and. every fanner should be pres ent to hear 'his address. Prof. D. W. Watkins, acting director of 'extension, win also be^ present and deliver an address at this time. So let this be the big farmers' day of the fair. J. Frank Williams, County Agent. OE FOUND IN GEORGIA Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 4.?Natural oil has been discovered^,in Georgia, Dr. 5. W. -MaCaulie. State geologist, an nounced today after-an investigation extending over two months. The oil has been found on the property of H. 6. Sample, near Scotland, in Telfair conuty. Dr. MeCaulie said. It refined about 60 per cent kerosene, which, he said, was about the quality of Cali fornia oil and inferior to most of that in Texas and Oklahoma. While advising the owners of the property that he believed boring of test wells is warranted, the State geologist add ed a public warning to thfc citizens of Georgia that "evidence we have before us is not conclusive so far as the existence of oil of commercial value is concerned."

FIFTY-FIFTY Sumter and Columbia Play to Standstill on Gridiron The football ga^fte which was stag ed here yesterday between the Game cock eleven and the Columbia High School, rsulted in a tie. Neither team showed the punch and drive necesary to score. Each team was within the shadow of the goal once. Sumter came within eleven yards of a touchdown, but the rushes of the backs failed to make the necessary distance and the ball went over. Co- J lumbia came no closer than seventeen I yards of their score and they ? oo, j iacked the necessary drive to ma/e it first and ten and the ball went over' i The first quarter was played a-lmost I entirely in the center of the field j with the punting game playing the; leading role. Some good punting was done by both DeLorme for Sumter and Harmon for Columbia. In this quar ter the largest gain was that by De Lorme for twelve yards. However, his running mates were unable to be of great assistance to him. Wheeler was Sumter's best ground' gainer, while Harmon was Columbia's best bet. The second quarter was like unto the first, in that it was mostly a punting game After the second half began it seem ed as if the Columbia coach had given inspiration to his team in some man ner. On end runs and forward pass es, mixed with line bucks the Colum bia team carried the ball down the field some 70 yards. From his own 12 yard line Bradley took six and five | around right end. A fumble was re- ! covered by Harmon who gained nino! yards. A tackle over tackle play j worked for six yards and Bradley took j eight and two on line bucks. Harm j secured four a/id twelve on a buck and j an end run. A forward pass Harmon ro Langley netted 18 yards. ? With the ball on the 17 v yard line Bradley fumbled and lost six, which was re gained by Harmon. A pass failed and ?with ten to gojmd fourth down an other pass was hatted to the ground by Wheeler. On end runs and forward passes Sumter placed the ball on the 11 yard line in the final quarter but could not score. Receiving the punt on the j 39 yard line DeLorme returned ten. j r I Pitts ook eighteen on an end run.'aj forward pass PUts to Wright added; twelve, a line buck by Burns totaled six and a similar play by Wheeler added ten. An end run by "Wheeler added four, more. Here the rush | stopped and the ball lost on downs, j Columbia tried repeatedly to work long passes, but only one was com pleted. " Both elevens worked hard and consistently, but as it usually the case, sonie players predominated. On this occasion, Harmon and Lang ley were, the shining lights for Ahe visitors while Wheeler. Wray, Wright and DeLorme did best for Sumter. Also. Barnum and Hatfield deserve to be mentioned. Barnum playing at center and Hatfield at guard ruined most of the visitors* line bucks. The officials were: McKnight. rtferee; Shaw, umpire and Duffle h<^d linesman. MANNING VICE PRESIDENT Spartanburg.

Columbia. \'ov. ?,.?Miss Chauncey j Blackburn, executive secretary of the Scuth Carolina Tuberculosis Associa ! tion. to id the conference of Christmas 'Seal campaigners here Saturday that ja comparatively small number of the I eases of tuberculosis were being re | ported, She estimates that, there are [.St least 200.000 cases in the State j while only 20.000 have been reported. !?: Miss Blackburn declared that in i one town in South Carolina only four ; eases had been reported, yet the draft ; records show that 20 men'from that , town were rejected for army service ! because tuberculosis. She called at tention to the fact that 1.000 men had i been rejected in the State by the ! draft boards because they had tu j bereulosis. That a strong, well organized and determined fight against the disease is necessary to keep it from making greater inroads on the citizenship of the State is the opinion of Miss Blackburn, who told the conference Saturday of the plans which the State I Tuberculosis Association has made for I next year along that line: To carry j out these plans will require a fund of rat least $65,000, she said. The society ! is depending upon the sale of the [Christmas Seals to raise that fund. Miss Bkackburn says that every five hours a life passes from tuberculosis. For each life that passes four persons infected with the disease are left oe hind. The disease is found among all classes of/ people. It is invading the homes of the rich and the poor alike. "The sad part of it," said Miss Blackburn "is'that so many are dying from a disease which is preventable and which science has found is cur able, if treated in time. The men: j ace of the disease is that so many peo ( pie have it for so long a time before they find it out and Whep they discov er that they have it, they are in the last stages?too late for treatment to save them." Miss Blackburn said that the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association hoped next year to put on an inten sive educational campaign. It wants tirst to show the people of the State the menace of the disease. It wants to show them that it is preventable. It wants to show them that it is cur able. By special request of patrons who desire to hear and enjoy the per formance at Opera House without be ing annoyed and disturbed by people coming in late, in future no one will be seated while curtain is -up. Also the officers have been instructed not to open doors until final curtain.-so trust those who desire to see-finish will not be interrupted by those who rush out before curtain drops.
