The Darlington High school football ?quad were unable to compote suc ccaafully with the fast Sumter team on the home grounds yesterday and went down in defeat by# the large score of 69 to o. The game was rath? er a one-sided affair, for Sumter seem? ed to possess unlimited determination, pep and speed and do what they could Darlington was unable to keep the Gamecocks from scoring nine touch? downs against them. Darlington's team averaged in weight about tho same as the Sumter team and had some very good pla3' ?ra Boatwright, for Darlington, was indeed a fast man but he was careful? ly wstcheu at all times by Sumter so thta whenever he came into the pos? session of the ball about three of Sumter's men would instantly be upon him for a tack*]. The tackling done by Darlington was always of the "eye? brow" type which may account for Sumter getting away on so many long runs. Sumter tackling was low and sure. Burns, for Sumter, made some excellent tackles. Darlington is not a weak team by any means, Camden having beaten them by only two touchdowns and Orangeburg by three. Be it said in praise of Darlington that in spite of the big scoro piled up against them by Sumter she never seemed to loose heart and played Just as hard at the last of the game as she did at the very first. The Sumter te*m appeared Just simply to be in excellent shape for a game and no matter who the opponent might have been they would have found It next to impossible to make any headway against the Sumter team yesterday. Every player on the Sumter team at some time in the game showed up with stellar work. The first touch down was made In the first quarter of the game by Wheeler. No goal was kicked. Four touch? downs were made In the second quar? ter by Wray, Weinberg, Chandler and Wheeler. The touch down scored by Weinberg waa made by Sumter block? ing Darlington's kick and Weinberg receiving tho ball and taking it across the goal lino. Goal was kicked three times by Wray in this quarter. Two touchdowns ware made by Sumter in the third quarter by Wright and Chan? dler. No goal was kicked. Sumter scqred two more touchdowns in tho last quarter of the game by Wright and Wheeler. Goal was kicked* both times by Wray. Darlington only gained their downs three times throughout tho entire fame. Jack Chandler, for Sumter. made : the longest run of the game for a \ touchdown, carrying the ball from the ?U yard line.

The fiery temperaments of an old ; IJne of Southern Ancestors have " reached their climax in this girl. Her , power over her audiences everywhere Is almost uncanny.

I Miss Gulley's dramatic training | combined with her natural and grac- , lous manner wins the love of her aud- i lenco at ence. Her voice Is a dlvi.ie i gift. Henri J. Farcis. of Paris, France. Is , making his Initial American Tour. His reputation throughout Burope is , of such account as to make his ap? pearances in New York and Chicago an immediate success. Mr. Farcis has a most fascinating personality. Ills audiences everywhere accept this charming. big heartd Frenchman, even before they have heard his voice of Mich vibrant beauty and color. He was in the great war, and during the drive of 1914 was severely wounded. He still carries a souvenir in the form of a stiff knee. This fact has forced Mr. Farcis to leave the Operatic stage for at least a few seasons. While we regret his losa to France, we grate? fully welcome such a real artist to our American Concert Stage. This attraction, under the auspices of the Sumter Lyceum will be at the Girls' High School auditorium on the evening of November 11th. DEATH.

Woodrow Wilson (Baltimore Sun). | Today the v.oters of the United States will elect a successor to Wood row Wilson. . Whatever the result of the election, he will cease to be, after March 4 next, an active factor In American politics. From tomorrow on no furtheq abuse or criticism of him will hurt the Democratic partj or help the Republican party. ? Mr. Wilson is a very' ill man. In the New York Times of Sunday last were printed statements regarding his condition from several of the pro Leaguers who saw the president at the White House a few days ago. We do not think any humane person can read those statement* without being profoundly moved. The president's condition is. directly due to his devotion to duty. He has quite literally spent his life's blood, in the interest^ of the American peo? ple as ho saw them. In their behalf I he cheerfully assumed a burden great |er than he could bear, greHter prob? ably than any man could have borne. At bottom tho criticisms, even of those most violently hostile to him, amount but to this, that he made a I splendid effort to achieve a noble pur? pose?and failed. The last half of that statement will not be admitted by millions of his fellow-citizens. They feel, they know, ihiU he has not failed, but has been gloriously successful. But even if he has failed, is that a justification for abusing him for the attempt? There aro failures more sublime than successes. But, say his opponents, it was nec? essary to fight him in order to put an end to "Wilsonism." Perhaps so, from their standpoint. But it Was not nec? essary to abuse and malign him. At any rate, the time for fighting him is over. He is n'o longer an active factor in our politics. Is it not a matter of mere justice, a matter of comon decency, that with today Bhould end all these bitter at? tacks on a man who has been made 111 by, faithful work for the people? Isn't it appropriate and humane that from now on his critical fellow-citi? zens should think more of Wilson- tho man and less of Wilson the official? It is one of the astounding illustra? tions of the cruelty of partisan feeling that the president's illness and his sufferings should not have evoked more, and more sincere, expressions of sympathy, oven from his political opponents. . , 'Mr. Wilson's greatest defect as a politician has been his incapacity in the art of self-advertisement. He has no skill in those little artifices of which Mr. Roosevelt was a master, which bring home to tho wide public the essential humanity of men in tho public eye. The limited number of men who have come into contact with him personally rather than officially? Mr. Grasty, who spent somo weeks with him in the Paris ?White House"; Mr. Tumulty, who hat been in inti? mate association with, him slnco the lays of the New Jersey governorship, md many others?have, indeed, testi? fied to his personal charm and his wrarm human sympathies; but Mr. Wilson has no capacity to project this impression throughoub the country as L whole. Newspaper men, at least, who havo seen so much of the efforts >f politicians to advertise themselves, will account this quality to him as a virtue. But it has prevented him from becoming known as he is to the whole people. * Our greatest presidents have been those who were the most greatly ma? ligned. Washington, Lincoln, Wilson ?all of them were made the targets for the bitterest kind of abuse and rritieism. It is a tribute to their greatness that this should be so? strong men provoke strong antago? nisms. But hasn't the day for th s swrt of thing as concerns Mr. Wilson, passed? We have been talking from the standpoint of those who have honestly opposed Mr. Wilson's policies. But there is another standpoint. To mil? lions of his countrymen Mr. Wilson has been for tho last eight years an | Inspiration and an ideal. His ideals and his policies have made lifo and politics meaningful and purposeful to them. They have made them feel thai, politics is something more than a game and progress something more than an illusion. There is no need to appeal to them for an expression of their tribute of loyalty and faith. But for tho others, hasn't the time come for them to voice that sympathy which is this very great man's due and which, at the bottom of their hearts and as a result of their sober second thought, they must surely feel? DEATH. Cheraw, Nov. 3.?After an illness extending over f everal months. Miss FlOrm McKay died in a hospital in Richmond Monday. She was a daugh? ter of tho late Dr. John McKay of Harnett comity, N\ C, who with his family, moved to Cheraw In 1S70 and for many years was largely on gaged In the turpentine business In this section.

C, Mrs. Mary Belle Malloy and Mrs. llattle McKay of | Cheraw, the latter of whom was with j her at the time of her death. j Miss McKay had spent a long life in doing kind deeds for needy ?nein- j bers of her church and community, and the large assemblage of sorrow? ing friends and the many beautiful floral tributes attested to tho esteem In which she was held. The funeral services were conducted by the Kov. A. H.
