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.

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.

TUBERCULOSIS
ASSOCIATION
Secretary Says But Few of the
^Ma*iy Cases in the State
Reported
; ? 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.
