KILLED HIS SON-IN-LAW. Henry Tallon, of Lynchburg, Fatally Wounded in Darlington County. Henry Tallon, of Lynchburg, a son of Mr. W. A. Tallon, was seriously, perhaps fatally injured in a fight at Steve Lane's Darlington County on Sunday. Henry Tallon is a yonng man about 25 years old and has been married a few years. On Sunday he took his wife over into Darlington to visit her parents and while he was at Steve Lane's house got into a difficulty with his father-in-law, a man named Hicks. Hicks struck him on the head with a heavy piece cf iron, fracturing the skull. A piece of skull about the size of a silver dollar was crashed in and the pressure on the brain rendered Tallon unconscious and the doctors attending him have little hope of his recovery. The cause of the fight has not been ascertained, but it is stated that Hicks claims that he struck Tallon with the iron because Tallon made a motion as if to draw a knife or other weapon. Not Going to Charlotte. Our Camden Hose Squad has de? termined not to contest at the Char? lotte Tournament. The 1st prize $250 is not open to competition by other than North Carolina towns. The high? est prize offered in the interstate con? test is $100. As this is such a small amount our boys find that it will not be worth the expense of carrying the team up there. We will watch with interest to see if any teams comes up to Camden's record at this tourna? ment.-Wate ree Messenger. The determination of the Camden team not to go to Charlotte leaves Delgar Reel Squad without a reason or excuse for going. The squad was thinking of going to Charlotte in spite of the small prizes and the heavy ex? pense of the trip merely to meet the Camden team and have another chance at the present champions. Henry Tallon, of Lynchburg, who was seriously injured in a fight with his father-in-law on Sunday near Carterville, was still alive this morn? ing, but it is still thought that his in? juries will cause his death. A great many citizens favor an ap? propriation by the City Council in aid of the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition. The more the matter is discussed the clearer and stronger the reasons for the appro? priation become manifest. The dispensary constables in all parts of the State have bes?me quite vigilant and energetic within the past ten days and the tigers will have to take a summer holiday in self defense. State Deputy Leon Seiss will visit Hollywood Camp, Woodmen of the World tonight when the regular monthly meeting of the camp will be held. The degree team will put on the new degree initiation and all members of the camp are requested to attend the meeting. The trial of John Hitt, white, and Boozer Dozier, colored, for fighting on Main Street Sunday afternoon was held in the Mayor's court Monday af? ternoon. It was a jury trial by re? quest of L. D. Jennings, Esq.,>who represented Dozier, and both defend? ants were acquitted. Hitt plead guilty to the charge of firing a pistol, but as he claimed that he fired the pistol in self defense Dozier, having attacked him with rocks, no penalty was im? posed. Still it seems rather strange that both parties should have been de? clared not guilty, for unless Dozier was guilty of throwing rocks, Hitt had no excuse for shooting at him. The banquet at the Hotel Sumter for the benefit of the Second Regiment Band will be given tonight. The managers of the Hotel have arranged to give the band the most elaborate banquet ever served in Sumter and it is hoped that the people of Sumter will attend in large numbers and make the occasion a success in point of numbers 8nd in that way assist the band, to which all profits will be contributed bv the Ho? tel. It is stated that the report has been circulated in neighboring towns that there has been almost an epidemic of typhoid fever in Sumter for a month or more past. The report is entirely false,, for there have been from first to last this spring and summer but eight cases of typhoid fever in this city, of this number two cases originated" else? where and the persons suffering with fever were brought to the city for treatment. This is the offiical record in the office of the Health Offi csr, the record being made up from the reports of the physicians who are required to fill reports. The Health Officer states, also, that there have been fewer cases of malarial and oth? er fevers in Sumter this summer than daring any previous season since the office was established and records kept. The Summer School for the white teachers of Sumter County will con? vene in this city on Monday next July 22nd. The sessions will be held in the Graded School building on Washington Street. The County Board of Education has appropriated 85 for each teacher who attends the school to assist in paying the expenses while in attendance and it is hoped that the enrollment and average attendance will be greater than in previous years. Mr. S. H. Edmunds, Supt. of the city schools will be principal of the school and he will be assisted |by Mr. D. L. Rambo and two other teachers of ex? perience. Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Kambo have taught in the Summer Schools in other counties for several years past and have been successful in their work everywhere. A Good. Cough Medicine.

For sale by Dr A J China. m. E. D. SMITH A CANDIDATE. Wi!! Wake a Vigorous Campaign in the Seventh. It is stated on the authority of the utmost reliability that Mr. E. D. Smith, of Lynchburg, formerly a mem? ber of the House of Representatives, has positively decided to enter the race for Congress and the formal an? nouncement of his candidacy mey be expected any day. The 'informant of the writer stated that Mr. Smith had told a number of his friends that he had decided to be a candidate and that he would make a vigorous cam? paign. Mr. Smith developed great strength when he was a candidate for the Legislature and was electedl at the head of the ticket. He retired from the Legislature voluntarily and it is probable that in the race for Congress his friends would rally to his support as they did when he was a candidate for the Legislature. THEY ARE" NOT CANDIDATES. ! Col. J. Harvey Wilson and Mr. T. 6. McLeod Will Not Run. Col. J. Ha.rvev "Wilson of Mayes vilte and Mr. Thos. G. McLeod, of Lynchburg were in the city Monday, and as both have been mentioned as prospective candidates for Congress those interested in the race made it convenient to see them and find out if they had designs on the seat made vacant by the death of Dr. Stokes. Both Col. Wilson and Mr. McLeod stated emphatically that they would not be candidates in the ap? proaching special election, had not had least intention of doing so and that the mention of their names in connec? tion with the race was without their knowledge. Col. R. D. Lee May Enter Race. It has been stated by a close per? sonal and political friend of Col. R. D. Lee that he was considering the question of becoming a candidate for Congress and that he may decide to enter the race. If Col. Lee does enter the contest he will make it interesting for the other candidates whoever they may be. He has a strong following in this county and will poll a large vote even withn Mr. Altamont Moses ana Judge Buchanan in the race with him. Col Lee is well known throughout the State as one of the ablest and most successful members of the bar of South Carolina, and as a member of the Legislature some years ago, as a member of the Constitutional Conven? tion and as a member of the State Executive Committee of the Demo? cratic party has formed an extensive acquaintance with the political leaders of the various sections of the State that would count in his favor in a con? test for a seat in Congress. He is a stump speaker ?Tability and can make a vigorous and telling fight, as his op? ponents in the factional contests in this county in 1892-'94 had ample rea? son to know. Senator Manning Not a Candidate. Senator Richard I. Manning author? izes the statement that he is not a candidate for congress to succeed the late Dr. J. W. Stokes, and will not be a candidate in the approaching spe? cial election. EFIRD FOR CONGRESS. Lexington, July 9.-Senator W. H. Sharpe was iii "own today, and when shown The State with a list of the probable candidates to succeed the lamented Dr. Stokes, from the Seventh coongressional district, said : "I will not be a candidate for congress at this time.

Jennings of Sum? ter were arranged in Justice Kelly's court this morning for breaking loose Mr. G. P. Hartsoe's boat and robbing his fish trap. They were fined five dollars apiece or twenty days on chain gang. They will be carried to Sum? ter this afternoon and fines collected or they will be carried to chain gang. It seems "since the trial of the above offenders and their conviction they were allowed to leave town on their promise of being here at 4 o'clock to take the train for Sumter. If such as this is to be allowed we may ex? pect the bums of the country to gather here where they can do as "they please without any fear of being punished. The cry awhile back was for fair weather, now it is for more rain. Un? less it rains in f^w days crops will be damaged as much as they were by the wet spell. Dr. F. M. Dwight and family have moved up to Sherwood, their summer house. Among "he hills above here is quite a summe:- resort. Mr. D. Ii. McLaurin has several boarders and Dr. McLaurin and family of Sumter are summering at his place. Miss Decca Singleton left for a few days stay in Sumter yesterday after? noon.

Glenn Springs, July 12, 1901. j Since adjournment of the Press As? sociation and the departure of the most of its members, those of us who re? mained behind to get the benefit of a longer stay at this Carolina Mecca of health, have enjoyed quiet and rest? ful time. Brethren Sims of Orange bnrg and Ligon of Aiken together with their better-halves, and the writer have been the loiter on the Glenn Springs shore, and I have enjoyed their company and the exchange of ideas, along with the water and kind attention of the Messrs. Simpson. As is well known to all who have ever been here that there is no lack of good company. The best people of South Carolina have been patrons of Glenn Springs for generations and they continue to come : and when peo? ple get here, no matter whether they appear to be so at home or not, they get approachable and sociable like a family gathering, almost. This is one feature about the visitors to Glenn Springs that I have frequently heard remarked. Ex-Governors, Senators, Congressmean, Judges, plain farmers, merchants and small-fry editors with occasionally a bigger one from a city daily, all hob-nob together. I think our Sumter colony are all getting along in good shape. Occa? sionally one erets off and misses meal, but at "this time all are able to report at the spring and in the dining'hall. So far Dr. Booth, while having held hrs own, has not improved as we hoped, but it takes a little time at first. It was about two weeks before Dr. Edmunds showed material im? provement, but he now thinks he is improving daily, and looks it. The writer, who does not acknowledege to having come here for his health gets daily compliments on his looks. "This is not only a good place for a sick person to come to, but well ones can have a good time, and I am glad to see that the people of no part of the State know this better than those of Sumter. I am a great believer in the virtue of the water used at home and always advise those who cannot come here to send for the water. Just write to Paul Simpson, Glenn Springs, and he will supply you promptly or give you any informtion about the water. The following bit of history of Glenn Springs and of the connection of the Simpsons with it, that I picked up since I have been here will, I think, interest the general reader, as weil as Glenn Spring cranks: The Glenn Springs property was purchased by the late J. "Wistar Simp? son, some twenty-five years ago and is now owned by his sons-H. S., R. C., A. 0. and "Paul Simpson. These young men, by their industry, liberal? ity, well-directed business capacity and good judgment, aided by their father up to the time of his death, have made that summer resort one of the most popular in the South. It is also now a remunerative enterprise, a reward faithfully and justly merited. In a brief historical sketch, "His? tory of Glenn Springs from its Discov? er}', " etc., written by Mrs. T. Sumter Means, a talented lady of Columbia, and who is still a habitue of that re? sort, we find the following : It has been an interesting task to trace the history of this spring back to its discovery. The first settlers of this portion of the backwoods of South Carolina found the spot a quag? mire, and known to the Indians as a "deerlick. " It was soon noticeable to them, that the cows loved to browse around it, and lap the water that set? tled here and there amid the black mud in little pools. From the pecu? liar smell pervading the mud, it came to be designated tas the "Sulphur Swamp," , The same writer gives the fur? ther curious fcts : This section then belonged to North Carolina, and was in Mecklenburg County. For many years after the State lines were established it was known as the "New Acquisition." "We find it constantly so called in the Documentary H ri story of the Revolu? tion. Later on it took the name of Ninety-Six District, but finally the quagmire fell into the lower edge of a county laid off and named Spartan burg. The curative qualities of the spot were revealed by a commonplace acci? dent. During the Revolutionary war, from the unavoidable filth of camp life, "scabbies," or as it is vulgarly termed, "the itch," was the plague of the rank and file of the American anny. After the war, the irritating disease "stuck closer than a brother," and returning soldiers infected their families. A man living in the neigh? borhood of the "Sulphur Swamp," with a ronnd dozen "quivers in his bow," had every one broken out with "scabbies, " One day the cows did not come at milking time ; one of the boys of this family going out to look them up, found them in the quagmire. In getting them out he fell in, and came home covered to the neck with the black, ill-smelling mud. It was a lucky "souse," for in a few days he found himself entirely well of the hateful "itch." The' father must have been a man who thought, for he took the cue, marched the whole family up to the swamp for a mud bath, and the result was they were all healed. True, some of them had to dip more than once, but finally all were cured. Of course such good luck was told from one to another, and the place was resorted to by the country folks for miles around, and used for mud baths by those affected with skin diseases. A long, dry spell of weather in 1S00. or thereabouts dried up the "Sulphur Swami?, "and revealed at its edge a clear, runninir spring. Many free stone fountains were dried up at their sources, and a family living near the spring wen- glad t<> use the water, lt had a queer taste, and curdled when snap was put in it, yet they felt assur? ed that.it was good to drink and soon began to like the peculiar flavor be? longing to it. Other water, after .'.rinking from the new spring, seemed to lack seasoning. It came to pass, therefore, even after the drouth was broken and other springs were con ve? | nient, the family would often prefer tlie water of this spring. A dropsical ! old kinsman visited them, and it was I suggested that the queer tasting water might help him. Its action on kid? neys and skin was unmistakable, and in a few weeks he was convinced that the use of the water had benefit ted him. lie continued to drink it until he was restored to health. From this, the Jfirst 'cure made by Glenn Springs' water, until now, each ! year individual cases have shown con elusively the recuperative properties i belonging to it. And many sufferers j gratefully acknowledge the benefits re- ! ceived from its ase." It seems also from the writer just quoted, that Glenn Springs derived the present name from a man by the name of Jno. B. Glenn, who jjurchased i the lands on which the Spring is lo? cated in 1825, or ?26, some seventy-five years ago, and about that time "open? ed a regular inn for the traveling pub? lic. " Up to that time the place had generlly been called "the Powder Sprinfg. " A Narrow Escape. Mrs. M. L. Burns had a narrow escape from injury yesterday by a run? away horse. The horse which was at . tached to a buggy, was coming down Broad Street at full speed, when for? tunately the express driver caught the frightened animal, thus averting what otherwise might have been a serious accident.-Wateree Messenger. Dalzell Victorious. The game of ball yesterrday after? noon between Dalzell and Sumter re? sulted in a sweeping victory for the visiting team. The Sumter boys were not in the game at all and the Dalzell team had everything going their way. The score was Dalzell, 14 : Sumter, 4. MAYESVILLE ITEMS. Mayesville, July 16.-Miss S. W. Mayes returned from Florence County last night, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. T. B. Rhame, of Lynchburg. Miss Evalyn Wallace, of Sumter, returned home on yesterday. Miss Bessie Thomas returned from a visit to Magnolia on Friday night. Mr. Samuel Heiss and family, of Timmonsville, have moved to Mayes? ville. Mr. Heiss has accepted a posi? tion with Mr. A. A. Strauss. Mr. Daniel Evans, of Clarendon, is in town today. Miss Emma Mayes returned yester? day from a visit in the country. A few of our citizens went on the excursion to Charleston today. Rev. W. H. Mills, of Manning, preached at the Presbyterian Church here on Sunday morning. Mr. Dempsey Griffin, of Pinewood, is in town today. Mayesville was visited by a severe thunder storm on Sunday afternoon. No damage was done by the storm. There was, also, a heavy rainfall, which was much needed. The Western Union Telegraph force is stationed here now, stringing an? other line. The town is having some much need? ed work done on the sidewalks on La Fayette Street. They are putting down terra cotta piping in some parts of town, which will greatly improve things. G. PISGAH NEWS. Pisgah. July 16.-Our community has been refreshed with several show? ers of rain, Saturday and Sunday, which has helped all around. The dry weather for the last two weeks has brought the crops (where it was possi? ble to do so) out of their sobby state and in this section they look very well. A few her e say they have better crops than last year but from here they look as if a third or a half, is all that can be made. Whereever it was possible to clean them, it has been done. The fruit is rotting and dropping off the trees. Blackberries in abundance. Base ball is all the rage |here with the colored people, the whites have quit the game. A notable game was played here between the Pisgah Club and the Spring Hill club last Saturday afternoon and the Pisgah club won a Dewey victory over Spring Hill which had never been defeated in nine years, so I am informed. The N. W. R. R. has already helped the trade of Sumter from here. We find her merchants very accommodat? ing and liberal, "and as such will command a great deal of the trade from this section in the future that has heretofore gone to other places. Miss Francis Dixion, an aged lady died here last week and was buried at Pisgah church4 of which she was member, afterj services by Rev. Mr. Kenney. The pastor Mr. Crouch lives at Westville, too far to attend burials, hence the neighboring ministers at? tend to that work. I think Miss Dix? on was one of the charter members of the church. The death of Dr. Stokes was receiv? ed with sorrow here. No man in my knowledge was ever more devoted to the interest of the people of the 7th District than he was. In all my busi? ness with him, he was ever prompt. We may find another man to take his pice, but not to fill it. Pleasant to come in contact with he worked for us all to the last. His death is not only a loss to Iiis State, but to the na? tion. Like Senator Earl?' he was cut off at time when, to us. it seemed he could do tlie most good. Hut these things .-ire not for us t<? know. Peace to his ashes. Sjiartanburg. July 14. Dexter Kir? by was shot and instantly killed this morning by a negro desperado, Wal? lace Haynes, on board an excursion train at Thickety, a station on the Southern railway twenty miles from Spartan burg. A companion, W. W. Steadman, was also shot in the arm by Haynes. The negro jumped from the train and escaped in the darkness. Conquests of the Mayas. News carno from Mexico last month that Chan Santa Cruz, the last stronghold of the independent Mayas of Yucatan, has at last been taken by the federal troops. This marks the end of a 50 years' struggle in which this remnant of a once powerful nation has been struggling against the op? pressive rule of Mexico, at times fighting as aggressively and fiercely as did their ancestors against the Span? iard, only to succumb at last. They have held a territory as their own into which no white man dared venture without obtaining the consent of their chiefs, and their city has long been called the mysterious city of Yucatan, where, it was said, they still preserved the rites and customs of their fore? fathers. The Mayas, of all the races inhabit? ing the American continent, had at? tained the highest state of civilization upon their discovery by the Spaniards, and fought the hardest to maintin it. One peculiarity of the Mayas recog? nized by all travelers in Yucatan is the great preponderance of women. At a feast given at a hacienda in the northern part of Yucatan, in an assem? blage numbering over 2,000 people, but 700 men were found. It has been estimated that five females are born to every two males, yet the Mayas are monogamous, and their wives are kindly treated and are never required to either carry heavy burdens or work in the field. Of late years the Mexican govern? ment has been more or less energeti? cally pursuing "he conquest of the in? dependent Maya country, the objective point of her army being Chan Santa Cruz, the stronghold. Now that city has fallen. Many of the inhabitants have been killed in its defense, and the survivors ivho have not been cap? tured have retreated further into the wilderness or have sought refuge in British Honduras. That relics of the ancient Mava civ ization and art of great value and in? terest will^be found seems almost cer? tain.-Rochester Democrat and Chron? icle. The Mew State Prison, Columbia, July 15.-The new main building at the State penitentiary has beenTpractically completed. It is one of the^handsomest and best equipped prison buildings in the south. In a short time the concrete floors will be completed, and the work will be done. Last week most of the convicts were moved from the old buildings, where they have been quartered since last fall, and" they are non- as comfortably fixed as a set of prisoners could be. The n3w building has all modern and up-to-date equipment and conven? iences, as well as being as secure as it is possible to make it. $400,000 Risk; on $2,000 Fund. The State of South Carolin, through its sinking fund commission insur? ance department, is doing considerable insurance. The general public hardly has an adequate idea of the volume of insurance that is going through the hands of the sinking fund commission. A great deal of the county insurance has not yet been placed with the State authorities, because of the fact that a large proportion of the policies were for long terms and they have not yet expired. The State has not yet met with any losses, and until that time comes, and it is sure to come sooner or later, all is well. The insurance receipts, of course, make - up a very small reserve fund, and unless the losses hold up for some time the :funds will be in bad shape with any large amount of loss. The total receipt*? for premiums thus far is 82,675, and on this amount of capital the State has one policy, on the State Hospital for the Insane, which by itself calls for 8272,780. In case? any losses should be incurred the State would no doubt make the losses good, especially as a large class of State and county insurance is compul? sory. The State has fixed a rate of one-half of the regular rate at which the policies were formerly written. - ? < i mm CROPS RUINED. New York, July 12.-There was a scene of great excitement in both^the wheat and corn markets at New York today, trade aggregating one of the largest day's totals in a year or more, especially as to corn. Prices jumped 2% during the day in corn, making 63-1 advance for the week. Orders poured into th? market so fast that brokers could scarcely execute them at the prices desired, and the usually small crowd around the corn ring was increased to such an extent that at times it almost rivalled that in the wheat pit. The farmers have taken the bill side into their hands, and in face of heavy realizing on the part of professionals have kept prices going until the cry is for CO cent corn rn Chicago. Already prices are so high in the southwest that farmers are feed? ing their stock with wheat, and un? less rain comes very soon, many fear only half the corn erof> will be gath? ered, where only ii month ago looked as if one of the largest yields on record would be harvested.
