S8M?EB F?Ll FESTiV?L ?TTRsc?s Nimm. And Many Will Enjoy Festivities if the Merchants WiH Gloss Stores Thursday Next. lt is probable tbat merchants of Columbia will closa their stores Ifcanksgiving day. There will be au j additional reason for this. The peo- j pto of the plucky city of Sumter are getting np a big carnival which will ha attended by a ^rreat crowd of Co? lumbia people if the stores will be closed. Messrs. J. L. Mimnaugh & Co. have been the first to declare their in ~taution to close. In reply to a letter from the secretary of the Sam ter Fall .Festival, Mr. E. L Reardon. Mim nangh & Co. says: "In compliance with the request of the executive com? mittee we will be glad to close our store on Nov. 24tb, provided the other representvative houses of Columbia will do likewise." Mr. Reardon's request of the Colom? bia merchants is expressed in the fol? lowing manner : "At tbe meeting of the executive committee of the Sumter Fall Festi? val held last evening, the attention of the committee was called to a state? ment made by a prominent citizen of your city to the erect that a large somber of business men and their em? ployes desire to attend the Samter Fell Festival on Thanksgiving day. Nov. 24, but that there was a degree of uncertainty as to the number of places of business which would be dosed in Columbia on that day. The executive committee has directed me to write you as one of the most promi? sent and influential business men of Colombia, to request that you will have circulated a petition requesting all the places of business to be closed OB that day in orier to allow as many people as possible to come to Sumter. Our advertising agent. Mr. J. A. Sch? werin, has informed us of the kind feeling; and the great interest mani? fested by you towards the city of Sum? ter and our fall festival We therefore feel at liberty to make this request -of yon by order of tbe executive com ??ttee.

Aiken certainly cem8s to the front ea all occasions. Some years ago a couple of parties through the kind ^heartedness of some philanthropists were put into possession of a gold brick. And - last spring it seems that similar philanthropists put some oth? ers in possession of an aluminum brick. The time has evidently not yet come when people will learn that all that glisters is not gold-or aluminum. And as a well known character remar? ked, "the point of a remark lies in the application of it." Well the application is the finale cf the great aluminum industry that was ?o do such great things for Aiken. Through some unfortunate train of cir? cumstances over which the enterpris iag stockholders bad no control, tbe #350,000 was not put into the enter pries; the GOO skilled ojerators did not come on : the village witt) about 1500 inhabitants was not built: rite few buildings put up were burned down; sad finally in steps the sheriff and lays his ruthless hand on everything in sight and ont of sight. And now therefore on the first Mon? day in December everything apper? taining to the Pope Ciay Produc?a Co. will be sold ander sundry executions. This will probably mark the end of the grest aluminum enterprise. Here cndsth the second lesson. Aiken Recorder. A Heavy Load.

Roosevelt Removes ?lask-m Offi cials for Corrupt Practicas in Courts in Mining Claim Cases After an Investigation by Judge Day. Washington, Nov. 16.-President Roosevelt has removed from office Frank H. Richards, United States martial for the Nome district in Alaska, and has requested tb? resig? nation of Judge Melville C. Brown, of the Juneau district. This action is the result of the investigation of the Alaska judiciary made recently by Assistant Attorney General Day. The case of Judge Alfred S. Moore is held in abeyance! The nature of the charges made against the officials was not made pub? lic in detail, it being deemed advisa? ble not to publish at this time the re? port made by Judge Day. It is known, however, that the charges involve seifen, if not corrupt, practices before the Alaskan courts in mining claim cases. Charges, from time to time, have been made against nearly all thejfed eral officials of Alaska, Gov. Bray not being exempt but is said that the action of the presiden*; today finally closes the matters of these charges, officials of the administration being satisfied that Gov. Brady, Judge James Wickersham of the Yukon dis? trict and other officials involved in them have acted in the best interests of the territory. Judge Wickersham was reappointed today.
