Mr. P. M. EJtts, president of the Sumter Creamery company presided. Dr. E>[ S. Booth, president of the Sum ter Chamber of Commerce and Secretary- Reardon, Chairman R. S&Beteer of the Chamber of Com jgfcfljce marketing and crop diversi fltejtibn committee, and County Agept, J- Frank Williams, repre sented the organization side of the proposition, while Messrs. Neil O'jDonnell, president of the First J?tjpional Bank; C. G. Rowland, president, of the National Bank of South Carolina, and Mr. R. A. ? Bradham, president of the Com mercial Bank and Trust company, represented .the banking interests of Sumter. There were a number oi>others present, as stockholders o^ihe Creamery company. :^Mr. Pitts said that the farmers .should be guaranteed that there be ; a place for them to sell - t&eir butter-fat if they went to the ejqgense of buying dairy cattle as ^feature of the crop diversification pfens" vof the county. The -Sumter Cjeeamery company is an establish ed .enterprise?and the directors ? thereof believe that this plant can, vsuth necessary additions of ma chinery for making butter, be made a very/-useful enterprise for the .farmers'of Sumter and several ad joining counties. ? It the unanimous sentiment Qi The. meeting that it would be a good preposition to Increase the ^e^pitai stock of the Sumter Cream ery about eight or ten thousand dollars to enable the installation of sufficient cold srorage, butter mak ing, and other machinery. Also to educate the farmers to the value of selling the bmter-fat for butter, making, rather than hoping to get. big prices per gailon for-milk. -_ Mr. R. A. Bradham said that the Young Men's Business league will be glad to appoint a special committee to help out rh j tiiis matter as this league had al ready taken this matter under con ^d^^SLti?n, or rather had secured ^^rmation about a creamery. rf^fiairmZm R. B. Belser said that'i his committee with County Agent Wiffiams will take-up the matter of appointing school" district com ?mdttees to see'about having at least : ^pj^clent cows to supply the two ^'^^usahd ? pound daily capacity for " l"5e3>utter. making;department of the present creamery, and to call a mass meeting at Sumter about the matter of how many farmers "will supply the necessary butter Mr. Neil O'Djmnel! took, the rl^?ill by the horns, after a lot of ?J&$lz .about bulls and cows had been -indulged in by announcing that he 3|epuid*donate a Simon pure Guern sey bull'for the proposed bull as ..^iatioir, and which v Mr. R. M. ? Coopsr--thought would cost about two; hundred dollars. It was in ? t^iatedT" hy' one of the gentlemen - present that the . school district 'that sends the largest number of ^fpspecttve butter fat producers Will get the bull. -Mr. C. W. Schmoke, dairy spec ? ialist of Clemson College was presr &py_ request of the Creamery tpany, and gave a very inter besting and instructive talk show 7-$ffc tfiat tiie dairy business in con nection with other crop diversifica tion is a splendid thing for this .section of South Carolina. He said we have the finest all the year abound climate, the most fertile of j .^??'djs for producing all kinds of ^accessary cattle feed to produce bittter-fat at the lowest possible i epst^fhat we have the markets for j all and more butter than will be j produced in this and several coun- j I ties, that the local demand alone, j 1 -not to count the out of state ship- j ments that can' be made, guaran- I >fee, with proper management on ! |[.-t&? farm, the right kind of feed- j ing, care and work, that every : 'er with the right breed of ws can make good money^ sen ding butter-fat, not milk to the posed butter making plant. ? Mr. Schmoke seemed ver>\fa.vor jably impressed with the Sumter, iiee. Clarendon and other counties as good places for the dairy busi ness and for enriching the soil and cutting down fertilizer bills by going into the dairy business on | the farm. Mr. R. M. Cooper, the proprie- j tor of the well-known Wisacky J .dairy and live stock farm was pres- i "ent by special invitation and con - j firmed in a short but satisfactory ; and convincing manner every thing I that Mr. Schmoke said. \ Chairman Pitts announced that j this meeting had been called in | order to discuss this phase of the j crop diversification necessary on I our farms hereafter. And to make ; ^a'.'start towards doing something. Dr. Archie China of the Sumter ^Sanitary Dairy, expressed his opin ion favorable to the proposition to get as many as four thousand milk cows if possible on the farms to ] supply butter-fat. No definite plan j .was agreed upon at this meeting, j hut it is a certainty that Sumter j will have an up-to-date butter making plant to buy at market prices every round of butter-fat j offered, so that farmers need not ; hesitate to get their cows and be i ready to?collect the money. Sumter will go into th? creamery business on a somewhat larger bat.safe, san*1, conservative plan. I There is absolutely no reason why j the Sumter Creamery company's present plant, and corporation which is being reorganized, with a new and competent manager, and improvements in the* plant, can not be made, with additional capital and machinery, as fine butter mak ing plant as will be necessary. $5,500 Reward For Train Wreckers! -,? Dynamiting of Georgia Train Arouses People of State Atlanta, Sept. 8.?Rewards to- j taling $5,500 were offered today for apprehension with proof to convict the persons responsible for dynamiting an Atlanta, Birming ham & Atlantic railroad freight train near here last night, killing John Morris of Fitzgerald, engi neer, and injuring three other trainmen. Col. B. L. Bugg, receiver for the road^ in offering $5,000 reward, said several cluess were being fol lowed and predicted early arrests, and Governor Hardwick, in an nouncing a $500 reward, declared he was "prepared to use the power | and authority of the state to its last ounce to prevent outrages of this kind and to punish to the lim it of tha law the perpetrators of ? such outrages when apprehended." He declared the people of Georgia would not countenance such acts | and called on all county .and mu- j nicipal authorities to enforce law and order and promised them mili- j t?ry support if necessary. Colonel Bugg, in a conference j with the governor, presented him j with ? list of 33 such wrecks or at- j tempted wrecks since the begin- ? ning of the strike of the A. B. & A. ! last March. Strike leaders here vigorously | disclaimed any knowledge of the outrage and J. M. Larrisy, an of ficer of the Order of Railway Con ductors, declared the union chiefs had sought to conduct an orderly j strike. The walkout of the men over a wage reduction which caus- j ed a stoppage of the, road's trains j for a time was followed by a re- j ceivership and later by the strikers being replaced by non-union men. j The road is technically under fed- ! eral court jurisdiction since the re ceivership. ! ? ^ O List of Graduates of Sumter High School.

Every once in so often, a report is bruited about to the effect that some motorist has driven cross country at an average rate of twen ty-five miles an hour, or more. Fre quently the motorist who has ac-l hieved the hurried journey by gas oline motor accounts himself a law abiding citizen?a man who would shrink from violating the law. This ! is a reasonably humorous angle on i one phase of scorching. Nearly every school boy knows j that in order to set such a cross country mark by motor it is nec essary to exceed the legal speed limit much of the time, and if mov- \ ing faster than the law permits is j not a violation of the statute as made and provided, what is it? When a motor vehicle is traveling at a rate faster than twenty-five miles an hour it cannot be stopped at once and should a vehicle turn out of a lateral road, or an animal stray out of the bushes an accident is unavoidable. The' point of this is that the mo tor seorcher, however obedient he may be to all other laws, is break ing an important law for the more eminent the citizen, the worse the example he is setting. It is the fact that violation of one law leads readil\ to violation of others, the sum total of infractions making for lawlessness. But the man who is scorching on country roads is not alone in violation of the law, for he is frequently breaking the rules of<ordinary road courtesy. It would appear to be a propiti ous season for good citizens to wat'-h their speedometers and not wait f'>r an alert rural policeman to cite them to a magistrate's court. The ultimate effect of the example set by good citizens would be influ ential on those persons to whom laws mean nothing, so long as they escape punishment or other incon venience. Many motorists are fully law-abiding and they realize that scorchers are earning trouble which seems to be slow in overtaking most of them.?News and Courier. ? ? ?? 666 Cures Dengue Fever.

Negro Shoots Kershaw Man Posse Starts Search For Crim inal But He Surrenders to Sheriff Camden, Sept. S?Murdock Hough, age about 28 years, was shot and badly wounded by a young negro, named Ollie Washington, who is about 25 years old. late Wednesday evening. The shoot ing occurred in the store of West Watkins at Cassatt. It is said that there had been trouble between the two when Washington walked into the store and shot young Hough in ' the right breast- and fled. Officers at Carrulen and Bethune ?ftere immediately notified and in i an hour or less fully 100 armed men had joined in the search, ; guarding bridges and highways. The negro realizing that escape was impossible sent word to Sher- j iff Welsh that he was ready to ; surrender and he was found about | two miles distant from where the shooting occurred and was im- i mediately brought to Camden. No attempt was made to take him from the officers. The bullet fired from an automo- : matic pistol went into the right breast and came out by the shoul- j der blade. Mr. Hough was carried : immediately to the Camden hos- j pital, where his wounds were j dressed, b.ut it is impossible to state yet how severely he is injured. ? ? ? ? Double Lynching j in Aiken County - Aiken, Sept. 8.?Two negroes j were lynched near Montmorenci, i five miles from Aiken, early to- i night following a murderous attack j on the wife of a prominent farm- : er, late in the afternoon. The no- ! groes robbed the house after beat- j ing the woman into insensibility with a hoe and an axe. The injur- j ed woman was living at 11 o'clock I tonight, but physicians say her 5 chances for recovery are exceed-; ingly slight. In addition to being i chopped in the head with a hoe, an ! axe was used crushing in the skull and bruising the face and should ers. She is between 30 and 40 years of age. She regained con sciousness a few minutes after the atack and implicated Butler, who, when caught in his cabin on the farm, made a full confession impli cating Thompson. Both negroes were taken to a corn field and shot to death, being tied with ropes about the wrists."' ?? ? ?-; Large Wiieat Exports Washington, Sept. 8.?Unprece dented'' exports of wheat during August should react favorably on agriculture and business condi tions throughout the country. Sec retary Hoover declared today. Ac cording to his reports, wheat ex ports during the past month amoointed to 33,595,000 bushels, or about four times the volume of any pre-war figure for the month of August. Increase in the movement of wheat, Mr. Hoover said, should particularly ease the credit situa tion through a lessened demand upon the war finance corporation for advances. Recent advances in the price of cotton were regarded by Mr. Hoov er as promising a betterment of conditions in the south, provided the increased levels are maintain ed. If the price of cotton stays up. he declared, the south will not need the credit relief which has been sought and which the war finance corporation has proposed to give. Rock Hill Banker Dies Suddenly Rock Hill, Sept. 8.?Ira B. Dun lap, prominent banker and business I man. died at his home near mid ' night tonight of apoplexy.
