(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. Mayesville News Notes Cotton Holders Turning Loose Boll Weevils Plentiful?Per sonal Mention We regret to know that Mrs. J. F Bland is still at the Florence Infir mary, but. hope she will be able to re turn shortly. Mrs. ('. V. Weinberg is visiting hei sister. Mrs. Richardson, at Whiteville, X. C. this week. Miss Alice Cooper is visiting rela tives in Darlington. S. C. for the week-end. The Mayesville team goes to Bish opville this afternoon to try their '.ack in a game of ball with the kv.ter: We hope for good luck. T. L. Kahn, merchant here, who went to Asheville bast fall, states, while on return visit, that he is doing nicely and we hope he will be able to return home completely well very soon. 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 boil weevil. His confidence in the cot ton crop was badly shaken. William Vr. Deschamps. Bisfcopviile, Jene 12.?Mr. William DesChamps died at his residence here Saturday at 12.30 p. m. Mr. Des champs has been in failing health for some time and had recently returned *rom John Hopkins hospital at Balti more. 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 ;iared f jr college at Sumter and com- j Meted his education at Wofford Col-; cge. Soon after leaving college Mr. j DesChamps settled at what is now vVisacky in Lee County, where he re-! named until retiring from active busi-; less in 1913. In early life Mr. Des-! Uhamps was married to Miss Sue! 3rown Green, the daughter of Major: vVilliam M. Green, who lived in this ame neighborhood. Mrs. DesChamps lied several years ago and Mr. Des .hamps was again happly married to Irs. Bell Lillian DuBose ?. sister of lis first wife, who survived bim. Mr. DesChamps began his business areer as a farmer, but likewise in a mall way operated a mercantile busi less at his farm under the firm nanm >f W. W. DesChamps & Co. This busi ness under the management of Mr. .'.?e;Champs grew to be one of the larg-j st mercantile businesses in Lee j Jounty and was subsequently removed: o Wisacky about one mile from his, original home and place of business, for the past few years during the ontinuance of his business career he perated as the W. W. DesChamps 1o., Inc.. of which he was president nd general manger. In 1913 he closed iut his mercantile businiess and re ired from active life, shortly after re moving to Bishopviile where he has .nee lived.

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 ment of .Miss Margerite Pringle and Mr. Edward Atkinson was made Sun day at the home of Miss Pringle in Charleston. Mr. Atkinson, who has many friends in Sumter has been con nected with the General Rubber and Asbestos Co.. of Charleston, for some time, and has just been promoted t< a ? .. ;tant manager of the branch office at Pittsburgh, and will leave for that city in-M week to take up his new duties. Both the young people spent Monday in Sumter as quests of Mr Alkinson's mother and sisters. The only people really hard to gel along with are those, who object tc our having our own way.?Peters burg Index-Appeal. ; News From Harvin j -_ . I Ian Under Way to Consolidate School With Alcolu Harvin. June 14.?It .s'suggested, with a great degree of certainty thai the Harvin and Alcolu schools be unitwith 0:i\ i>uh ol a; Alcolu, dis continuing ihe Harvin school if the I plan proves a success. That will give ia greater school at Alcolu, with none ? at Harvin, one of the oldest schools : in the county, being discontinued. There will be one teacher less to be j paid, as there will be no teacher at [.Harvin and only two at Alcolu as j heretofore. Miss Lillie Eudora Brogdon, who : with Miss Julia Wilson of Manning, ? wei e the teachers at Alcolu last ses sion, will be principal of the Brogdon school this session. Mrs. Genie McFadden Nettles who in company with her sister, Mrs. i Marcus Vivian Plowden, Mr. Plowden j and Mr. James McFaddin Plowden at tended the Sunday school convention j in Rock Hill last week has returned to Harvin. iJr. George Legare Harvin of the I University of Carolina is home for ! the summer. j Miss Frances Harvin who has been [attending school in Columbia has re turned to Harvin. Mr. Sam John Brogdon was a j visitor to Bennettsville last week. Mr. William Cole, one of the oldest citizens of this county, has returned j home after spending the winter in j Florida. I Mrs. W. T. Lesesne, Mrs. Fannie ; Sauls and Miss Sara Lesesne of Man ning were visitors here last week. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Alderman will tour Europe this summer, going to Palestine and other points. Mr. A. D. McFaddin of the Colum bia bar and Miss Margaret McFaddin also of Columbia spent the week-end with relatives here, returning Sunday and Monday respectively. 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. College Scholarships.

Four year ?.nd one year scholar ships in Clemson College, examination to be held July 8th.

Prof. Savely is one among the first County Agents that started up the figh against the boll weevil in Texas and has pursued the weevils relentlessly in their travels eastward and north east across the cot:on belt.

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.
