A THOUSAND COLLAR COFFIN. A Queer Suit in Greenwood? All the Parties Negroes. Greenwood, Oct. 21.?An exceeding ly interesting case in equity is now in progress, both, here and in Jackson ville, Fla. In Greenwood the case at pr?sem; is confined to taking testimony : ; in the ease by W. J. Moore, Master by commission. In brief the case is . this : A negro woman, a native of this county, has left an estate in Jack sonville, consisting of real estate mostly, valued at about $7,000, and her heirs in this county are trying to to get possession of it. The property is now in the hands of one A. V. Sandall, also a negro, who for a num ber of years acted as a rent collector for the owner. The facts in the case are these: Some time before the war lizzie Ivey, who was Lizzie Sherrard, moved from this county to Jackson ville. Her mother, Patsy Sherrard, lived for a number of years on a plantation of Congressman D. Wyatt Aiken. Patsy was frequently in the habit of visiting her daughter in Jacksonville, but always had her home in this county. As stated above her daughter accumulated con siderable property. She had a rent collector, a negro, A. B. Randall, who was also a sort of confidential agent. Some time last year Lizzie's health gave way and her mind became affect ed. In June of this year her mother, Patsy Sherrard, went to Jacksonville and brought her back to this county. Tha woman did not live very long after being brought here. She died on the 15th day of June. Randal came from Jacksonville to arrange for her burial, Mr. Joel Aiken of this city, whose testimony will bea part of Mr. Mooi?'s report, testifies that'Bandall came into his undertaking establishment and purchased a casket for Lizzie Joy, valued at $1,000. Mr. Aiken also stated that Randall said she was worth about $10,000. Af ter the burial Randall returned to Jacksonville and tried to get the heirs in this county to have him appointed administrator of the estate. In the meantime the heirs had secured Messrs. Ca?dwell & Park, of this city, to look after their interests. Randall made a second tiip here in a further effort to have himself ap pointed administrator. He even had the audacity to ask Mr. Aiken to help him in his scheme. Mr. Aiken told him that he had nothing to do with it, but that Messrs. Caldwell & Park had entire charge of the matter. When Mr. Park, of the above firm, went to Jacksonville to look after the estate he found that this negro Ran . dall had a deed to the erhole property conveyed to him by Lizs?e ivey. This deed was'drawn up by a negro lawyer and all the witnesses were negroes. All the testimony shows that Lizzie Ivey was crazy several months before the date of the deed. The heirs are making an effort to have the deed set aside. Messrs. Caldwelll& Park and certain attorneys in Jacksonville represent the ; heirs. An Untimely Agitation. Our esteemed contemporary, The|: Baptist Courier, has a timely word on secular matter in the following : Some enterprising newspapers and newspaper writers in the State have been setting forth the merits of certain well known and esteemed gentlemen as ] ' suitable persons to fill a possible vacan cy on the supreme bench in South Caro lina. The impression seems to prevail that Chief Justice Mclver on account of impaired health will resign, and taking this for granted certain persons have actually gone into the papers and nominated their friends for this possi ble vacancy. This is bad, execrable tasta* It is not treating with common respect the chief justice, one of the ablest, purist jurists, and one of the finest gentlemen the State has ever had. We do not hold the honorable gentlemen whose names have been mentioned in connection with this high position responsible for this un seemly haste in suggesting, or nomi nating, the successor of a gentleman who holds the highest position in the judiciary of the State, and who, in the providence of God, is too ill to do his work. The newspapers and the friends of ambitious and honorable gentlemen should have withheld any suggestion of vacancy in this connec tion. Surely the virtue of delicacy and refined modesty must be sadly lacking in some quarters, that the scramble for the position of chief justice, or associate justice, should begin in these sad circumstances. We had intended to say something to the same effect, agreeing fully with The Courier in its apprehension of such candidacies at such a time. It is, as our contemporary declares, in "execrable taste" to advance anyone's claims to succession to the chief jus ticeship while the honored incumbent lies stricken by disease attended by the prayers of the people for his recov ery. It is more than in bad taste?it is absolutely indecent thus to speculate upon and seek advantage from the ill ness of one of our highest and most beloved citizns. The proceeding is so repulsive that we could wish the executive would announce a resolve not to consider, in the event of a vacancy in the office, the claims of any man thus untimely pressed for prefernece. On severcal occasions we have protested against the greedy eagerness of candidates to seek en dorsement for offices vacated by death before the remains of the deceased officials had been committed to the earth ; but this case is even worse and public opinion should not tolerate the spirit which prompts such unseemly rivalry for appointment to our high est, judical office while yet the life of one of the purest and most beloved of ?onth Carolinians stands between t ??- a-.1 bftxon and ics satisfaction. J.? driver's condition may be > trioas, although we shall not surren der ho^ o? his recovery. There is no apparent need for bis resignation. a any case, we would have his ill ness soothed by zhu sympathy of the people he has so long and so well served, not aggravated by contentions for his place. This much, at least, is due to Henry Mclver and to our selves.?The State. A club of girls in St. Paul declare they will marry none but union men. Ain't all men who marry union men? ' A GREAT BIS CIRCUS. An Immense Crowd Views the Parade and Fills the Big Canvas. A Fine Performance?Having Many New Features. From the Daily Item, Oct. 23. The circos brought to town today the largest crowd that has filled the streets of Sum ter full to overflowing since Forepaugh and Sells Bros' big show was here last, two years ago. Neither of the shows that were here last year drew such a throng and the big crowd today was probably due as much to the reputation of the show as j to the "more prosperous condition of J the country. The crowd began arriving yesterday and continued to pour in last night and this morning. The streets were crowded from an early hour and around the show grounds while the tents were being raised there was a perfect mob. The show is bigger and better in ev ery department than when it was here before and the tent much larger, the seating capacity being at least a third greater. The menagerie is particularly fine, the collection of animals being large, and the herd of sixteen elephants, sev eral of them being regular Jumbos in size, attracted general attention. The par de was as the one feature that everybody saw. It was not differ ent from the usual circus parade, but it was afine one, nevertheless, and but for the fact that the line of parade was short extending only from the de pot up Main street to the Opera House and back t? the depot, there was noth ing disappointing in it. The horses were particularly handsome and the teams well matched. The performance under the big tent was witnessed by an immense crowd and everybody was well pleased with the bareback riding, acrobatic feats, trapez work and wire rope walking. The feature of the show, however, was Diavolo and his hair-raising per formance on a bicycle. When he looped the loop everyone in the tent held his breath for it is the most mar velous and dangerous act ever seen. There will be no night performance as the long ran to Charleston tonight necessitates an early start. It was the intention to give the night perform ance until the show arrived here this moming, but owing to the poor sched ule the railroad is giving the show trains it is impossible to show tonight and reach Charleston in time for the performance tomorrow. The rarest operatiop known to sur gery?the sewing up of a severed ventricle of a human heart?was per formed at Bellevue Hospital, New York, Monday night. Prof. George B.* Stewart, professor of anatomy and clinical surgery of the Bellevue Med ical College, performed the operation. The patient was Annie Kingsley, a woman who had been brought to the hospital stabbed to the heart by her husband during a quarrel on the street. The heart was laid bare and the sur geons saw that the wound was very severe. It would require six stitches. In the intervals between the beats of the heart the needle was inserted six times and the flow of blood was stop ped. The wound was skilfully dressed, and the surgeons waited to see the result. It surprised them, for the rally was almost immediate, and the woman recovered strength so rapidly that convalescence is regarded sis a mere matter of time. Music*? Power. Grimes?Yes, I'm fond of music. There's Tinnerman, for instance Brady?You don't call his horn blow ing music? Grimes?It has been very enjoyable to me.

On last Sat urday night an old man by the name of Northcut, who is the night guard at the depot, was assailed by three young men and desperately beaten and cut?one finger was cut entirely off and another almost severed. It was a family feud. Northcut being step father-in-law to these young men. The railroad authorities will prosecute the case.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING. City Council held a regular meeting Wednesday night. Mayor Stuckey and Aldermen Boyle, Dick, W. H. Epper son, G. F. Epperson, Hurst and Schwerin were present. ? Minutes of Oct. 8th were read and approved. Mr. I. H. Mosas was present to pro test against payment of a license tax of fifty dollars per month demanded by the City Clerk from him as a Broker dealing in options or futures. He stated that he is doing a legiti mate business as a member of the New York Cotton Exchange, which is of advantage to the merchants and cotton buyers of the city, and not running a "'bucket shop" for which the license was intended. Council decided to re quire payment of the regular Broker license of twenty-fi ve dollars per annum. Mr. Moses on behalf of the Sumter Cotton Oil Co. contended for exemp tion from the license tax on dealers in cotton seed on the ground that they buy seed exclusively for manufacturing purposes. Action was deferred to a later stage of the meeting, but the mat ter was overlooked and will be brought up at the next meeting. Alderman Dick stated that he had been informed that evidence had been discovered in the case of the City vs. John Mack for gambling which might result in his acquitted and moved as an act of justice that the appeal heard at last Council Meeting be re-opened to get in this evidence. A rehearing was ordered. Mr. Hurst for Special Committee reported a conference with Dr. Hof man of the Board of Health in refer ence to deepening Turkey Creek, in which Dr. Hofman expressed the opinion that surface drainage of the city is good enough, but that deeper drainage is necessary on account of cesspools and dry wells, from which foul gases escaping through the earth produce sickness. An order was given for three light carts for scavenger service to take the place of the heavy dump wagons now in use. Council discussed the returns of pro perty for taxation and Aldermen Schwerin and Hurst were appointed to confer with the Board of Assessors for the purpose of securing returns on a more equable basis and if possible at fairer values. Mr. G. F. Epperson reported that the hose wagons at times come out to fires at great speed, when no alarm has been sounded, thus endangering limbs and lives of people in the streets. On his motion the Clerk was direct ed to call attention of the fire chiefs to thi3 complaint, and to notify them that the wagons must not go through the streets at more than ordinary speed until an alarm is sounded. In case of disobedience to this rule the drivers will be arrested and punished under the ordinance against fast driv ing. Petitions for drain pipe in Bee street and for an electric Jight at corner of Salem avenue and Haynsworth street were referred to the Committee of Public Works. The Mayor and Clerk were authorized to issue a certificate of indebtedness for three thousand dollars in renew al of one for that amount now past due at the First National Bank. OFF FOR RED SPRINGS, S. M. A. Foot Ball Team Played North Carolina Military Academy Saturday. The football team of the Sumter Military Academy left for Red Springs", N. C, Thursday where they were to piay the North Carolina Military Academy on Saturday. Al though this will be the first game of the season for the team it is expected that the Game Cocks will give a good account of themselves. The team has been practicing steadily for several weeks and plays a fast and snappy game. The line up of the team is as follows : Left end, Brogdon; left tackle, Hicks, . ; left guard, Pate ; center, Dunn; right guard, George; right tackle, Hicks, W. ; right end, Steele; quarter back, Moses, E. P. ; right half back, Cuttino ; left half, Durant ; full back, Durant, E. Substitutes; Plowden, Furison. Stories of the adventures of the Boer generals in England are multiplying. One of them is vouched for by a cor respondent of the London Daily News, and would tend a new piont to the old phrase, aut Diabolus, aut "nullus. It is to the effect that when Mr. Cham berlain and Gen. De Wet were intro duced the colonial secretary addressed the Boer general as "Mr. De Wet." "General," corrected De Wet. Mr. Chamberlain repeated the ".Mr," whereupon De Wet remarked sternly: "General, or nothing!" And the colonial secretary had to follow the example of Lord Kitchener and recog nize the miliatry status of De Wet be fore the ubiquitous soldier would shake hands. The legality of over capitalization will be tested in the suit against the re-organization of the Chicago and Alton railroad, which comes up in Chicago today. It is charged that the re-organization was on the "water plan." The Harriman purchase price was abuot 845,000,OCX), while the stock market value now is approximately $70,000,000. When the Florida man wants a baro meter he goes out, catches a diamond back rattle snake, skins it, dries the skin and hangs up the barometer. Then he knows just what kind of weather he may expect. TAXABLE MERCHANDISE. An Important Matter to Some Business Men. Few men commencing business in mid-summer or early fall are aware that the law requires them to report to the Auditor within thirty days thereafter the average amount Of capital to be employed from the time of commencing such business to Janu ary 1st next following. The law further provides a penalty for failure to make such reports, viz : a fine of one hundred dollars. Our County Auditor received this morning from the Comptroller General the Attorney General's opinion construeing Sec. 334, of Code 1902, the case going up from this county. Those of our merchants who com menced basiness during the summer jast past or this fall would do well to pay Auditor Wilder a visit?t once. If you are not liable under the law to be taxed, you will not be, but you are liable to the penalties, under the rul ing of Attorney General, if you do not report as required by the Statute. The opinion of Assistant Attorney General Gunter is as follows : Columbia, S. C, Oct. 21, 1902. Hon. J. P. Derham, Comptroller Gen eral, Columbia, S. C. " Dear Sir: You snbmit the following for the consideration of this office : "The County Auditor of Sumter County has asked for a construction of Section 334, Code of 1902. The case presented is as follows: "A party beginning new business in this county states that he should not be required to pay taxes, inasmuch as he has purchased the goods of a whole sale firm in this State, and on credit." The suggestion that the merchan dise was bought on credit from a firm in this State is without merit. There is no difference between property bought on credit and property Ibought for cash recognized by the tax laws of this State. Section 334,. Code of 1902, provides that if any person commencing a new business after January 1st shall within thirty days after commencing said business report to the Auditor of the County under oath the average amount of capital intended to be employed from the time of the cmmencement to the 1st of January next ensuing, and making: satisfactory proof to said Au ditor that such capital has been regu larly listed for taxation in some other county in the State, said Auditor shall give a certificate that the requirements of this Section have been complied with and he is not liable for taxation in his county for the curent year. This provision prevents double taxa tion, but unless it is strictly complied with the party subjects himself to the forfeiture provided in Section 336, Code of Laws 1902. Yours truly, U. X.

Because the glass of the Frances Willard memorial window in the Peo ple's Tabernacle at Denver, Colorado, is wine-colored the Cassell W. C. T. U. has ordered it taken out. The window was the gift of Cassell W. C. T. U. The designer placed around the frame of the temperance reformer a wide border of glass of a deep wino color. The spectacle of the face of Frances Willard Peeping out of wine colored surroundings was too much for the members of the Cassell Union. At a called meeting a decision was rapid ly reached and a new window will be' forthcoming at once. COTTON CROP BY STATES. Interesting Comparative Statement of Cotton Production.
