Sena'ior Gordon of Mississippi last night gave the largest theatre party ever known in Washington inviting the entire United States Senate to be his guest at the Columbia theatre to witness the performance of "The Gentle man From Mississippi." In the ad vertisement of the performance he was called "the real Gentlabnan from Mississippi.'' Witj 1ve exceptions, every sen ator had aoepted and nearly all of them with their wives and daughters were present. Mrs. Taft came early. With her were her sister, Mrs. Thomas Laughlin, of Pittsburg; Capt. A. W. Butt, U. S. A., and Lieutenant Commander J. C. Palmer, U. S. N. the president's aides. The president came later. Built from the orchestra to the stage was a flight of steps to be used by Gen. Gordon to appear before the foot lights and make a speech after the third act. There were cries of "Gordon! Gordon!" aler this act but the senator had a fit of bashfulness and would not respond. $85,000 FIR AT M'O0MICK. Seven Buildings Go Up In Flames Early Saturday Morning. McCormick, S.

Put Up Diamonds as Pledge for Her Appearance for TriaL CoIumbia, March 1.-Up to this time it looks as if Mrs. Sallie A. Gibson, niece of the late Levi Metz, and worth $50,000 in cash, cold or bot, has worked a clean-cut fli-flam game on. the supplementary pro eg4ngs instituteal against her to compel her to pay a $100 judgment granted Mr. R. L. Shuler in 1907 for lumber. Mrs. Gibson was arrested Friday afternoon and brought before the court in supplementary proceedings but the case was adjo'urned until yesterday. She claimed she could not put up a cash bond and being now a .non-resident it seemed too much like imprisonment for debt to compel her, a widow at that, to go to jail, so Judge Prince accepted a couple of diamonds in a ring which she said was all she had as security for her appearance. But Mrs. Gibson did .net put in her appearance. Instead of her persch the judge was ha.nded a letter which came through the mail dated Salis bury, N. C., Feb. 26, in which she in formed the -judge that the ring put up was not hers, but belonged to Mrs. May MiEls, who was in court with her last week; that Mrs. Mills would call for it and to please give it:;to her, "as you promised to retur'n the ring Monday and Mr. Shuler 's judgment is no judgment at all, as I can prove he owes me money and there i was nothing .in his .papers saying anything about any money to be paid him." Mrs. Gibson added that she had a broken bone in her back and could iiot be back in Columbia yesterday. She did not say why she went to [ The "Square Deal" Store You get a square deal here be cause the goods are right, the prices are right, the treatment is right.

The so-called <ia monds are said by those who have appraised them to be praetically v orthless. Mrs. Mills has not yet called for them and she won't get ,them when dhe comes. , Judge Prince smiled when he read Mrs. Gibson's note and signed an order directing the sheriff to arrest her and hold her in $200 bond. He also signed an order directing the clerk to sell the diamonds after due advertisebnent and apply tha pro ceeds to Mr. Shuler's judgment. JACKSON BORN IN THIS STATE A. S. Sallay, Jr., Discovers Paper Tending to Prove South Caro lina's Claim. Columbia, Feb. 26.-While Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., the secretary of the historical commis.ion, was filing some claims against the State of South Carolina for services rendered I or supplies furnished by individual citizens of South Carolina during the Revolution, he found a very in .teresting appraisement of a horse furnished for public use by William Crawford, of Camden district. The appraisers, who estimated the value of. the horse to have been one hun dred and fifty pounds currency, were Robert Crawford and Anidrew Jack son. The appraisement was sworn to before Robert Montgomery, J. P., and was dated December 12, 1783. At that time Andrew Jackson was nearly seventeen years old. The signature is in nearly the identical hand- writing of "Old Hickory" in his mature years. Robert Crawford, his affiant, was his foster father and kinsman, upon whotse plantation, in what was 'then Camden district, but whieh labor became Lancaster dis trict, Jackson Was born as repeated ly asserted by himself and others. This is possibly the first official pa per that Jackson put his hand to in this State. AS TO SCHOOLS. Need of Enthusiasm in Management -One Must Thow His Soul in Work. Mr. Editor :-Not all your read ers donbtless had the opportunity to read the article on the graded schools of Sumter, in Suniday 's State. For the ,be 2efit of such, will you not reproduce the article in question ? The writer has done school work with the Sumter Superintendent, Mr. Edmunds, and can vouch for the eon seientious, painstaking and efficient work that he does. Teaching is his life w&rk, and the management and improvement of his schools is his very life. Innovations that look to the im provement of the schools do not have to be thought out by the trustees business men who are not employed to give their whole attention to the schools. Let any impartial reader contrast the Sumter' schools with some nearer home, and see what the children of our town are missing. And until trustees put men at the head of their school who are in ev ery sense capable, the schools wifl be second and third rate, and the children are the ones to suffer. Three big school buildings simply filled with children and some efficient teachers, by no means make a school system a success. There must be a head over it all, a man who at tends educational conferences, who keeps in touch with the latest meth ods in school work, a man. with school enthusiasm, a man who is not con tent to have his school always un-~ cfavoraibly compared with every other school in the State, equal in size, asg well as many much smaller. In reading carefully the pro grams of state educational'meetings -teachers' association meetings, sui perintenidents' meetings, etle., did you ever notice the names that are so very conspicuous by their absence? It is noticeably and lamentably true. A Patron.

If people could only understand that systemic eatarrh is an internal disease that external applications cannot cure, they would not need to e warucd so ofteni about this mal ady, wich, when neglected, paves the way oftentimes for consumption, t the cost of millions of lives ev er r. Yet c.narrb m a bencred,t if the right treatment is employed. iCatarh is caused by a general diseased state of the system which leads commonly to annoying and perhaps serious local conditions, which may prove a fertile breeding ground for germs of consumption. External remedies give but tempo rary ease. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, to that the mucous membrane or inter nal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of resisting the infection of consumption and ot'1er diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription 'of a physician who for thirty years studied and made catarrh a specialty, and whose ree o.d was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatme"m was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mueu-Tone.
