(Last County
Court Meeting
The final meeting1 in the interest of
the county court was held in the court,
house Monday night with quite a large
j crowd in attendance. The court
room was comfortably tilled, with a
I number of ladies in the audience. The
meeting was called to order a few
i minutes after eight o'clock, and on
motion of Mr. Jennings. Mr. S. K.
Nash was elected chairman. The
first speaker, Judge M. s. Whaley, of
the Richland County Court was intro
| duccd by the chairman. Judge
i Whaley related the story of the suc
cessful movement in his county to
j establish a county court for civil ju- ,
risdietion only, the criminal business]
I being left in the court of general ses
sions. He then gave a statistical re
view of the work done by the court
since i:s establishment in 1017. He
drew the conclusion the court had
been instrumental in saving money
for Richland county, and had reduced
! the average cost of handling civil
cases, as well as materially expediting '
the determination of suits. Mr. E. j
IX Epps. the next speaker, who was
substituted for Mr. J. H. Clifton,
who was called out of town, made
a strong, clear and well considered
argument in favor of the county court.
He made the best possible presenta
tion of the reasons why a court
should be established without further
delay. Starting with the fundamental
proposition that he laid down as the
basis for his advocacy of the county
court the logical conclusion was that
the county court should be
established. but the arguments
against the proposition were not met
or disposed of in a convincing man
ner. The fact that the circuit court
has not been efficiently and effective
ly used to transact the legal business
of the county still stood out prom
inently in the minds of those who
were not disposed to add another
court while the one we have is not
being use effectively and without
needless loss of time.
Mi-. L. D. Jennings, the third
speaker, discussed the matter of
comparative costs in the county court
but devoted a greater part of his time
and .attention to the newspapers, and
the Daily Iteni and ito editor in par
ticular. His remarks on these mat
ters were purely personal and had
nothing- to do whatever with the coun
ty court, except inierentially and in
sinuatingly. At the conclusion of Mr.
Jennings' speech Mr. H. G. Osteen re
quested as a matter of personal privi
lege, to be permitted to reply to Mr.
Jennings' reference to him. The re
cpaesi was granted end he as briefly
as possible touched upon the aliega
Lions made by Mr. Jennings and made
explanations and statements tha1
seemed requisite to keep the record
straight and disabuse the minds of
:he audience of misapprehensions re
specting the consistency and sincer
ity of the course he had followed in
:he county court.
The candidates for judge, Hon. I:
0. Purdy and B. IX Hodges. Esq..
then in brief speeches announced
:hoh <"andidacv.
rhe meeting was concludnd with the
innoucement by Mr. John I>. Duffie
)f his candidacy for the otfice of coun
y court solicitor.
Rev. C. C. Brown Dead.
Rev. C. C. Brown, D. D.. died at
5 o'clock Tuesday morning in a Rich
mond; Va., hospital where he had
been under treatment for some days
Until Monday his condition was not
regarded as immedately serious and
hepe of his recovery from this attack
was entertained. But Monday a tel
egram was received stating that his
2ase had taken a sudden turn for
the worse and that his end was a mat
ter of only a few hours.
Mr. Barter.- Walsh, his brother-in
law; left on the evening *rain arid
arsived shortly before the end came.
The body was brought home for
interment, arriving here on the early
morning train Wednesday.
The funeral sevvi-~es were held at
the city cemetery at 6 o'clock Wed
nesday afternoon.
Dr. Brown was for many years one
of the leading and most popular min
isters of the Baptist denomination in
South Carolina, and he was well
known and bad friends in practically
every section of Dm State. His death
wili bring sadness to his many friends
everywhere. He came to Sumter as
pastor of the First Baptist church
about 1877 or 1S78 and served that
congregation continuously for more
? ban thirty years, retiring in 1914. For
a few?years after bis retirement fromi
the active ministry he made his home
in Beaufort and Columbia, out then
returned "home" to Sumter. where
the active years of his life from early
manhood to midle age had been spent,
in recent years bis health has been
poor, but he never lost interest in the
affairs of his church and public mat
ters generally. No man over bad
warmer or mare loyal friends than
he hid in Sumter, and whip*, he had
to a degree dropped out of active life,
his death is fell as a. distinct loss by a
large circle.
Ti e local sleeper on train between
Florence ami Augusta is to be discon- j
tin .ed after June 15th.
_
Mr Ben .Mitch''!!, who has developed
ia nice orchard by careful attention and j
modern methods, brought several
I specimens of fruit to the Item Office
yesterday to show that perfect apples'
as well as peaches and plums can be
produced right here m the vicinity of
I Sumter. He ids pruned Ids trees and
[sprayed them with 'ho approved spray*
according to tv directions ol the
horticultural experts of the deparl
' ment of agricultural department. By
j roinnir.tr tie fr uit and spacing U
I properly on the limbs much larger
land more perfect specimens a;-- ob
I tained. Fruit such as he produces
; would be classed as prime on any
market.
It is stated that work has actually
been started on tie- bridge at Gar
ner's Ferry. The next thing is to
start work on the lour miles of ap
proaches on Die Sumter side of the
swamp. Th" bridge without the ap
proaches will be ornamental, but not
useful.

The farmers look as if they are go
ing to turn their cotton loose. Aboue
500 bales have been mroved with
in the last three or four days.
The cotton crop now is off 40 per
ecu; on a< count, of the recent rains
we had, and the boll weevil is also
gel ing a pretty good hold. Mr. J. F.
Bland, one of our farmers, pulled up
:i stalk of cotton and found 8 or 9
weevils on it. To make sure he sent
it to Clem on College and he has rc
:eiv< d notice that they were genuine

Mr. DesCh imps was born near Sum
mer. November 26, 1854 and was in his
sixty-seventh year. He was the sen of
Major Wiliam F. and Mrs. Alice A.
DesChamps. Mr. "DesChamps grew up
:?n his father's plantation, was pre-j

Meted his education at Wofford Col-;

Pisgah News and Views.
Pisgah. June 10.?Not in years has
the oat crop boen so nicely saved as
:his year. No rain on it.
Corn is a poor prospect for a crop.
Many drawbacks to it. and the best
that can be said is the crop will be
light.
Farmers are getting well up with
their work and are not so pushed.
The May rains put them in the grass
but that has been conquered.
Farm labor is plentiful for all nee?s
and purposes. Fifty cents per acre
for (Vitton is what is paid to hoe and
all seem satisfied.
J have rearl with idea sure and in
terest what has been said about the
county court. Mr. Dunbar's piece
represents the sentiment of the peo
ple here, who will vote no if what
they say is true. We will see. In
Kershaw county the project was vot
ed out about live to one a short time
ago.
Mr. Fulmer is making his marl-: in
congress. !!<? is doing what Karle
said, when sworn in you are as much
a senator or representative as you
ever will be, then why not make
yourself felt at once, and not sit like
you were scared.
Don't you pity a man that lets
some one control and think for him.
Poor fellow!
The county court i" now settled,
lets think and talk about something
else. There arc lots of things that
can be done to make Sumter a better
place in which to live.
The annoucemcnt of the engage

Women Voters Hold Monthly Meeting
The- League of Women Voters held
its regular monthly meeting yester
day afternoon at six o'clock at the
Girls' high school. Only a small num
'ber were present, possibly from feai
that heated discussions would be add
ed to the weather's warmth. A mat
ter cf national importance just now
disarmament, was to have been pre
sented by Mrs. R. B. Furman bta:
sickness prevented her coming ou
However there was a discussion
?his r.ubje t and the League una .
n us!y . a. s d a r.ijann to endor:
the movement for a world conierenc .
on disarmament.
The present topic of great local in
terest?the county court?was e>:
plained and advocated by Miss Edi :
DeLorme. She used as an apt intr.
duction a story recalled from he
school days. "The Specter of th
Brocken." For many days a stalking
monster on the mountain top hac
brought terror to the hearts of th<
people in the valley. Their fea.
grew as they watched him dail;
?Finally one of their number gat Ic
ed courage *o go up and view ti ?
awful creature at close range. H
'??ml a harmless shepherd liv
there alone. By a curious refractio:
of light he was made to appear t
the distant inhabitants below as a.
unusual, terrifying specter.
Miss DeLorme had carefully com
piled a number cf figures to shov
the saving in time and money, as sh
believed, by having a county court, t
supplement and curtail the work o
the circuit court. She thought tha
with the county court, the presen
jail could be remodeled and contin
ued in use at small expense compar
ed with building a new jail as is nov
planned. There would also be a sav
ing in board and keep of the pris
oners by giving them quirk trial. Thi
pha.se was also stressed from a hu
manitarian point of view. Miss De
Lorme spoke of the need to clear th
dockets and catch up with the ca c
now far behind; and of the hard- i
ship sometimes entailed by this delay j
instancing a case where a needy wo
man was unable to collect her life in
surance (all she and her family had
to live on) until her case could come
up in court and the insurance com
pany made to settle. The address
was very lucid and clear. And inter
est in the matter was evinced by the
general discussion afterwards, when
some good points against the estab
lishment of the county court were ad
vanced. If was apparent that each
person, while open to conviction, was
resolved to do his own thinking.
A crowd of sixty to seventy farm
ers gathered in the Lyric. Theatre
Tuesday to see the boll weevil
moving picture prepared by the de
partment of agriculture for the infor
mation and instruction of farmers in
the weevil infested sections, and to
hear the lecture on the best meth
ods of growing cotton successfully
in weevil territory by the represen
tative of the department. This film
is making a tour of the state under
the auspices of the farm extension de
partment of Clemson College and it
is hoped that it will prove helpful to
all cotton farmers. Those who saw
the film and heard the lecture were
pleased and instructed, and it is un
fortnate that a greater number did
not take advantage of the opportun
ity.

We remember with p.easure our

ad ii is a pleasan: surpirse to us to
?t you. lc.tr.er stating that you want
is to come back and double the dose.
The boll weevil, true to prediction.
[ notice has come to your county; and
If he follows his time-honored cus
.om he has come to your county to
Lay. We have no record of the weev
il having abandoned a section when
-nee he has become established. The
?xperience of your farmers this sea
son in wanting to plow up their cot
on because they notice a heavy in
sta:ion of weevil is just the same
anic that farmers have experienced
erywhere when the weevil is new to
aat section. In time they will learn
hat this is a most natural occurrence
tnd one to be expected and will cease
d be so greatly alarmed about it.
The fact that you have a heavy
rop of weevils this early in the sea
?on is not a thing to be especially
farmed about. Many of the old
veevils will die before the cotton be
gins to fruit?a few of them will sur
. ive. I do not know whether it will
ay to pick the weevils as many times
efore squares begin to form as you
uggest that some of your farmers are
oing. The cotton should be culti
ated rapidly from the start to keep
jwn grass and to keep the plants
aning a vigorous growth. Above
