HOW ABOUT THIS, BOY6K
(ttuuiter hitily hem, Juiio 3rd. J
Th?? dissppointtm-.nl of the Cim?
nen hose wagon team ?ver their tail
ure to win li*nl prise for tho hose
wagon race in rho tiremen'a tourna
ment in this city la<tt we< k h*s led
thenv to make reckless charges t'?at
a?e unfounded and untrue.
Tli*' tournniuent wan conducted
from flrot to last with absolute fair
uef?o, unci the people of Sumler would
not have stood for any cheatiDg,
'riekory or injustice to any team Ii
wit h a fttir field and no favor, and ot
?vll the judges but one wuh a Sumter
man, and lie whs selected by tin*
Newberry firemen. The only charge
of unfairness comes from Camden
and it cornea with au ill uroco from
the only team that wan detected and
railed down in an attempt to violate
the rules governing the contes*.
Sumter could ttfford to ignore the
vaporings of Camden's disgruntled
and defeated firemen, but when a
ron!.U?n ' ?? "
iiv n 9|/a|it'i Duru an 1 Ilty UlUTOO iM t* H |
sender, a statemet of the facta be
cornea necessary.
Whilo explanation!} are being
made the Sumter firemen would be
pleased to have the Camden team
explain how it happened that when
they went to have their wagon weigh
ed tho afternoon before tho race they
did not atrip it of everything mova
bio ?b tho rules required, including
upwards of 000 pounds of old iron
which was concealed in the box un>
der tho seat? The wngon weighed
so much more than tho other stripp"
ed hoso wagon ^mt some of tho Are
men in^iotod that it be ro weighed.
When this was do?o tho boxos were
opened and inspected and tho old
iron removed. An explanation of
this "circum8tance" will be quite in
treating, to say the least.

Resolutions Adopted at City's Meet
ing, July 1st, 1902..
On account of the disturbance at
the. Seaboard depot last Sunday af
ternoon a meeting of the citiiens was
be'-d on Tus*day afternoon last and
the following resolutions adopted :
??Whereas, we have observed that,
for some time pa?t, and especially
within the last year or two, there is
a growing disposition on the part of
certain individuals of the colored
population - lq Q or community to
make thenUolv'es personally obnox
ious and offensive to all law abidiug
people :
And, Whereas sqph condnot is a
menace to the peace aud good order
of society, and tends to provoke es^
trangement between tho races and
bloodshed *
And, whereas it is our desire to
cheek such conduct and tendeooies
before the nepessity may arise, for
more severe remedies i
HesolVed i
1st That we deplore and condemn
such conduct, and call npon ihose
guilty thereof, and their advfser4i)nd
abetter*, to amend their behavior
2. That we believe such conduct is
largely doe to the evil teachings of
prejudiced and malicious persons,
both white and colored, who pretend
to be friends of the colored race but
whose lessons can lead only to the
injury of those who listen to them.
3. That we recognise and deplqre
a growing disposition upon the pait
of some of tho young among the
white populL'ion to disregard the
law ana the rights of others, and
that we condemn suph disposition
and 4W the lawlessness growing
therefrom.
4. That we .call npon the city
authorities to inttfeaae the police su
pervision of the streets aud publlo
plaosa, eapeoiatly on 8ttnday?.

Found Dead.
Uoie Deaa, a negro man living
on Campbells street was found.]
dead in his house yesterday morn
ing. It is supposed that he had
been dead about two days and It is
Surprising that his dead body laid
there that length of time without
anyone finding it out. The law
has been changed in regard to the
payment of inquests ? the Coroner
now being paid a salary? and ow
ing Lo the lime It would take to
get the Coroner who lives several
miles from Camdeo, the body bad
to be buried without an Inquest
being held.

Sumter Herald t Great praise is |
due the. Camden team for its splen
did effort. Thdse visitors have been
forced to practice without water, ana
eo tljey were naturally at a disadvan*
Uga when they went up against the
real thing. The run made by- the
Cmnden team waj as pretty as a&y;
the hydrant man got off safely, but.
the other Jumper slipped in stepping*!
off at the tane iu front of the Hotel I
Rainier, nna slid along the ground
about, ten feet ere he could Oheck
himself. In spile of tbia accident,

was something wonderfn1, from the
start to the hydrant. They beat the
time ojf all other teams, bnt from hy*
drant the Judges stand they did
not maintain the name fast gait, and
while the nonncntions were well and
quickly made their time was slower
than that of both Delgar and Col urn ,
bia. No. 3. and not so good, as their]
own record by 2 5 of a second. This
team had- one disadvantage to con*
tend against, bnt as they alone were
to blame no kick should come from
them. < When the hose was measur
ed, just before the race, it was foand
to be 6 feet too short, and they had
to pat on another and longer section
of nose for one of the shoat ones,
making their hose about 18 feet long
er than the rulee required. This ex*
tra lencth of boee oertaialy made the
time slower bjoM ftfth of a- second
