From the Daily Item, July 10.
Io the issue of July 1st the change that
bad just gone into effect as to Road Masters
on tbe various divisions of the Atlantic
Coast Line, by the operation of which Capt.
A. N. Freeland lost bis position as Road Mas?
ter of the Western Division, was mentioned.
At that time the writer was led to believe
that the changes had been made for the pur?
pose of economizing. It wag generally
thought very strange that the Coast Line offi?
cials should drop a man who bad been in the
employ of the road so long and possessed of
the experience and good judgment of Capt.
Freeland, but it was supposed that they :
knew their business. Since the announce?
ment of the changes were made, however, |
various reports and rumors as to the proba?
ble cause of Capt. Freeland s removal have
crept into circulation. Wishing to obtain
the facts the writer called cn Capt. Freeland
and asked him the direct question, "Why
were you removed from office?'' But no
light could he obtained t'rom him, for he is
as thoroughly in the dark as to the cause ot
his removai as the public Thc reports in
circulation cnn do Capt. Freeland no harm
in Sumter or where he is as well known as
he is here, but elsewhere he may be injured
by toe circulation of such tepon.-;. We trust
that Capt. Freeland will be in a position :\i
an early day to clear op the situation and
set every tiling straight.
Fire.
A negro tenenent house on Sumter Street,
between Republican ?nd Canal Street, was
burned on Saturday r,i2ht. The ?l?rm was
given about 9 3o o'clock and the reels turned
ont at once. The fire WHS confined to the
?oft of the house and was difficult to reach
with the stream* of water, hut hy the use
of Mies and hooks the gable md of the house
was knocked ou: and the fire was extinguish?
ed. The negro woman who occupied the
hou-e cnme up about the time the fire was
gotten under control and raided a tremendous
din about her children who hud been left in
the hou3e. The children, however, hid been
removed to a pince of safety when the fire
was first discovered. A greater part of the
furniture was removed from the house by
neighbors
One of the reel squads manned by negroes
threw the first stream of water, closely fol?
lowed hy Monaghan squad. The good work
of the fire department saved a large number
of tenement houses from destruction, for that
vicinity is a regular nest of smail bonse9, and
in close proximity are Epperson's stables.
The residence of Mrs. Annie R. Cain,of Pri?
vateer, was humed about 1 A. M., Tuesday,
9th inst., and very little of the contents of the
house were sn ved. The inmates succeeded in
saving a part of their clothing, but all of the
funiture was lost. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the kitchen flue.
The house was occupied at tbe time by Mr.
Scott George, who had bought the place from
Mrs. Cain, and made a part payment on it.
Whether the house wa9 insured has not beeD
ascertained. lt was not insured with
either the agency of A. Wbite & Son or
that of Tbe A. C. Phelps Co.
The false alarm of fire Monday night routed
out many of the enthusiastic volunteer fire?
men, who believe in the maxim, "early to
bed, etc." They were seriously disappooiot
ed when thev found no fire to fight. It bas
been a question all the morning BS to dow
the alarm originated. "They say," which is
very poor authority, that "somebody yelled,
i just so, and then somebody else thought that
the first somebody was giving the fire alarm,
so somebody else began to yell fire!" A
very lucid explanation, ?ruhr, but not very
satisfactory when you want to kDow all
about it.

Delgar Reel Squad met Monday night and
elected officers as follows :
Foreman -W. S. Graham.

? Narrow Escape.
On Monday afternoon a little child of Mrs.
! Lucius Bultman came very near losing its
. life beneath the hoofs of a horse at the cor
! ner of Main and Blanding streets. The little
j one ran out in front of a buggy coming up
. street driven by a gentleman from the
] country. It was knocked down by tbe
; horse. Tbe driver pulled the horse up, and
j as the animal backed it came very near mash?
ing the little one, one hoof "pinching" the
\ child's body A lady, Mrs. Manigault, res
I cued the child from its perilous position, but
was herself knocked down by a man who
ran to the assistance of both herself and th*
child.-TbeState.

Constables Brown and Xunnamaker raided
j the place of S. F Hurst, on Liberty Street,
I Monday afternoon in search of liquor. No

I crowd of boys collected to sea the fun, but
nothing funny or interesting occurred.
During the severe storm Manday night the
electric lights were several times interfered
with by the lightning, but despite all compe?
tition the little engine panted on and kept
the city lighted. Several very heavy electri?
cal discharges took place in the city but no 1
damage was done to persons or property.
The colored firemen of this city will run ?
an excursion from Mayesville to Augusta,
Ga., on August 1st. The round trip will

The rainfall Sunday afternoon was the
heaviest that has visited this section in
months. Fortunately it did not continue
long and no damage was done; in fact, it
was beneficial. The rain was not general,
however, and three miles from thi3 city corn
is suffering for rain.
A number of shade trees have died, both in
this city and throughout the county, since
the opening of spring, and others are still ]
dying. This may be the result of the severe
winter, but no satisfactory explanation has
been given.
Tobacco curing is in progress all over tbe
county, and those planters who delayed get- ,
ting flues for their barns unti} the last mo?

exhausted. Some days ago, the writer heard ;
a farmer complaining that h?9 tobacco crop :
was ready to be cured but he could not get
flues. Since then he has obtained the flues
and is happy.

Tom Hussey and an old man of the name
of Wells had a personal difficulty Wednesday
afternoon that terminated by Hussey attack- j
ing Wells and giving bim a severe beating.
While Hussey wa? beating old m*n Wells, a
son of Wells, about ten years old, went to
bis father's assistance, and stabbed Hussey in
the back with a barlow knife. He inflicted
a severe wound in the back, just below the
shoulder Made, from which Hussey lost con?
siderable blood. It is feared that the knife
penetrated to the cavity, but this is not !
known to be a positive fact. Wells is not .
less than 60 years old, and not a robust man j
while Hussey is a robust fellow.
The idea has been advanced that the road !
j bed of the old C. S and N. R. R. from the j
i W. C. and A. track to Brunsoo's sash, blind ;
j and door factory, would make an excellent ?
j roadway at a slight expense. The track has |
; b&en torn up and all the crossties removed, 30 \
j that al! that would be needed would be to j
i level the irregularities left when the crossties |
j were taken up.

BAD TIMES;
Well, we should say so. Those

They Ve lost their time entirely
Yoirll lose; your time too, if

ours are not manufactured.
They run so well that they're

GOING WITH A BANG
generally makes a tremondous noise.
Noise ie in order OD tbe glorious Fourth;
so are our Summer Shoes which, like
our prices, are low and light. They
are the coolest things ever seen afoot,
and in summer coolness is comfort.
; There's a point about our summer shoes
I -their durability. To state the case
1 fully, there's so much wear in them
j that they outlast the season. We have
I shoes for all, young and old, men and
j women, for all occasions and sorts of
i wear, worl-c, business, and plea?Hre.
j Look well to your feet and secure such
? shoe prizes, as present stock was bought
I before the advance.
