Ryttenberg. for many j years one of Sumter's most prominent ; j business men. died on Saturday at " t3ie home of h.:s brother. Mr. Abe ' Ryttenberg, on Washington street, i The cause of death was heart disease j and the end caine suddenly and unex ! pectedly. Mr. Ryttenberg had suf? fered from a slight indisposition fur several days, but there was no reason to apprehend any serious results. Mr. Ryttenberg came to Sumter in j the early 70's and established the business which afterwards grew into the firm of J. Ryttenberg & Sons, which for a period of years did the most extensive business in this sec" tion of the State. Mr. Rytteru&erg was about sixty j-ears of age, and was so active, mentally and physically, that he apparently had many years before him. For a number of years he had made his home in New York, but spent at least half of the year here looking after his business in? terests and had never lost touch with Sumter and Sumter affairs. His wife and one son, who are in New York, survive him. The body was taken to New York for interment. Mr. and Mrs. Abe Ryttenberg, Mr. I. A. Ryt? tenberg and I. C. Strauss accompa? nied the remains to New York, the party leaving Saturday afternoon on. the 6.20 train. Mr. Ryttenberg had many friends in this city and county,j who will hear of his death with sincere regret, and will mourn his untimely taking off long after time has mellowed the keen sorrow that they now feel in the hour of bereavement. Mr. Ryttenberg was a Past Master of Claremont lodge No. 64, A. F. M. and a member of Beulah Chapter, R. A. M., Past Dictator in the Knights of Honor and other secret orders. Funeral. Thursday at Hagood funeral ser? vices were performed over the body of Mrs. T. O. Sanders. She was the widow of the late Thomas O. Sanders and sister of Mrs. J. D. Graham of this city. Her surviving sons are Mr. A. K. Sanders, Charlie Sanders, T. O. Sanders and Julian Sanders. She had been in Hendersonville for her health ' and died there Wednesday. Her body was at once brought home for burial. SMALL FIRE. At ll o'clock Saturday or there? abouts, an alarm wa? sent !n from ~ j Bartlett street, and the reel corn? il pandes ran down Liberty and around j the corner in fine style. It was only " j a smaii negro house with only a siiiaii me geing on inside. It was ex? tinguished so quickly that those who had neither automobile nor bicycle, thought there had.been a false alarm and met the crowd returning before their slower gait had brought them to the scene. Recorder's Court. On Wednesday of last week onlv two offenders were tried be? fore Recorder Hurst and both were found guilty. Cne was a white man. on a charge of public drunkenness. He plead guilty and paid five dollars. Then an old acquaintance of the court, Boozer Dozier, came up, though quite reluctantly, and as it turned ont his welcome was not cheering. Hf. was charged with steal ing a quarter from Mr. J. F. Pate. Boo2;er is a sport and always takes his fighting chance, pleading not guilty. He was convicted however and given twenty dollars or thirty days. He did not want, so he said, to pay the fine, so he was turned over to Deputy Sheriff. Raffield for the chain gang. Five cases were tried this morning before Recorder Hurst, and two of the offenders were white. R. S. Lo? gan was one of these, and he was j familiar with his surroundings. He plead guilty to the charge of drunken- j ness but denied - being disorderly. | This denial however, was only taken by the Court to show''the abnomal standards of the man, and it had no weight as evidence. He had been heard cursing- loudly and with repiti tions along the streets and vue de? clared guilty on both counts. ITe ac? cepted his thirty days, not having the alternative fifteen dollar?. - Next H. R. McDaniel got iwc do!" lars or four days for public drunken? ness. Then a negro came up for stealing stolen goods: Marion Durant is his name, but Bub Evans is the name of what he is called He had paid good money for the clothes, getting them from a woman who said their owner Elijah Adams had given them to her for his oard. High finance was now apparent in the relations of Bub, glijah and the woman. To begin with Eliajah did owe her board, three dol? lars worth, but on Monday I ist ha-I lent her one dollar and A qu-irt-*r; and. of course, the woman owed Bub the value of the stolen clothes. The Court decided that Elijah should h^.ve back his clothes, that his loan of one and a quarter to the woman should be considered a payment and that his remaining indebtedness of one seventy-five should go to the well-deceived Bub: finally that the j rest of the clothes money;, minas the one seventy-five should be paid by the woman to Bub. Everybody was turned loose and the losers were the woman an<? Elijah who had to pay their debts and board respectively. The pleasant part of it all is that these two were not on trial, but were prosecuting- Eub. Furman Hodges was fined five dollars for public drunkenr.es. William Calhoun, colored, was ac? cused of trespassing on Stephen An? derson's land. The chances are that he was guilty, for with the consent of his prosecutor, he let the case be dropped, paying five dollars in costs.

Copyright 1906 by Hart Schaffner ^ Marx ;00R JUDGMENT ic the selection of a suit of elotnes usually accompanies poor judg? ment ID other things. It is as bad to be undressed as to be over? dressed. Wear clothes in harmony with your station. The sack suit we illustrate here is appropriate for solid, substantial men in ANY WALK OF LIFE Every rJetail has been studied and planned to be in keeping with the character of the man who is to wear it. The style is conservative, and yet keeps pace with the trend of fashion. The length has been increased, the back made form fitting, the lapels broadened, shoulders widened and the front shaped to accord with the prevailing fashion without being extreme. These excellent suits, start at $10 and run up by easy steps to $25. Our Hart, Schaffner & Marx all-wool suits from ?18 to ?25 are the most popular that we have ever sold.

A hearty meal should have a sense of gratification and comfort. It should never annoy or distress. If you have indigestion and discomfort after eating, it shows thai your diges? tive organs are weakened and they cannot perfectly care for the food which has beer, swallowed If you cannot >i\i and digest with-pleasure and comfort three good square, hearty meals each day, you need to use Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and you should go t?> J. F. V.*. DeLorme for ^ box at or.ee. Mi-o-na is as unlike the ordinary pepsin digestive tablet as the electric light is more valuable than a tallow dip. Mi-o-na cures indigestion or j stomach trouble by strengthening and regulating the whole digestive system, thus enabling the organs to take care of the food you eat without any dis? tress or discomfort Use Mi-o-na for a few days and the nervousness, sleeplessness, general de? bility and weakness, backache, loss of appetite, headache and other ills that are caused bj- indigestiin will be ban? ished and you will feel well all over.

A rumor has been current for two clays that two hundred Clemson ca? dets had been expelled for hazing. The truth is that the majority of students there oppose the custom and only t'hree have been dismissed for that of? fense. The names of the three have been suppressed by the faculty. They will probably be lost in the numbers turned away for failing in entrance examinations. Dally Market Report. By Private Wire to the Sumter Cot? ton Exchange. NEW YORK COTTON.
