There bat been considerable discussion of
tbe cate against Karly P. Lee for forgery and
tbe continuance granted un iii the oezt term
*f court. Io view of the fact that masy
people who bare discussed the matter are oot
acquainted with the circumstances that led
to toe continuance of tbe case it is well to
place the facts io a brief form before tbe
public. When the case was called for trial
Soliciter Wiltoo stated that the State was
ready to go to trial, end the defense who
wat represented by tbe Assistant United
States Attorney wbo appeared for Abial
Lathrop, United S > ates District Attorney,
whose name wat entered oo tbe record aa
counsel for the defendant, stated that although
several witnesses for tbe defense were not
presen?, he would consent to tbe case be og
taken op. Jost at that stage Solicitor Wilsoo
received a telegram from Attorney General
Barber, which be read and bad filed by tbe
Clerk of Court. The telegram requested
Solicitor Wilsoo to bare the cate against
Karly P. Lee continued aod stated that a let?
fier which followed would explain more
fully. The cate was therefore coo tinned. Tbe
letter referred to by Attorney General Barber
was received yesterday. Geo. Barber stated
that the request for the coatiuoaoce of tbe
Lee case waa made at tbe direct req est of the
representative of the Attorney General of tbe
United States. Lee is a principal witness in
the Lake City lynching case and the United
Statet authorities do oot want tbs ease
against him for forgery pressed until the
lrochiog cases bave been brought to trial.
Solicitor Wilson it in no wise responsible
for tbe continuance of tbe case, as he simply
-obeyed orders from the Attorney General, hie
superior officer.

day morning aod be was confronted witb tbe
prob esi of being at two places at tbe sam*
time. Tbe first call came from 0 JW ego
where a negro ia said te? bave dropped dead
while shocking coro. The second call wat
from Scarboro, where a negro died last night
under suspicious circumstances. It it said
that tbe oegro wat a ttraoger io tbe neigh?
borhood and was tn hid ?ne from tbe officers
of tbe law from whom be bad escaped a short
time ago by a desperate resistance during
which be received a woood from the effects

None of tbe particulars in either case are

may prove to be oofounded.
After Coroner Motet left for Oswego it was

dropped dead had regained consciousness
and the services of the Coroner woola not

Several cases of smallpox bave been report?
ed to Health Officer Reardon from a neigh?
borhood six miles distant from tbi : city. As
tbe city board of health bas no jurisdiction
beyond the limits of the city nothing cao be
done to qjarantioe the cjses or take other
9teps to prevent the spread of the disease.
There is oot the slightest danger of another
outbreak of smallpox :n this city, owing to
the precautions taken last spring when every
person in the city WHS vaccinated, but there
is serious danger that tb re will be an epi?
demic in the country during the winter, for
smallpoz is a winter disease and is said tc ne
more virulent and to spread more rapidly
during cold weather tbao at any other seaooo
Something should be cone at once to pre?
vent the spread of tbe disease in the country,
and all who have not been successfully vac?
cinated within tbe past year or two should
be vaccinated without delay.
ANY PERSON
Wishing to know the truth in regard to their
health should not fail to send for a valuable and
new 64-page Booklet which will be sent FREE
for a short time to those who mention thia paper.
This book is published by the celebrated physi?
cians and specialists-Dr. Hathaway ai d Co. of
2214 S. Broad St. Atlanta, Ga., whom you should
address. Write
No Smallpox m Sumter.
The fact th6t a case of smallpox ha9 been
reported to tbe State Board of Health from
Sumter County appears to have throws some
of the rowo authorities io the upper section
of tbe State into hysterics and they are talk
lng of quarantining against tba city of Sum?
ter. Tbts is notably the case with Greenville,
from which city talk of quarantining comes
with ill grace, for smallpox first appeared io
this State in Greenville, and to tbe Greenville
cases all other cases of smallpox that subse
quentiy appeared in the State bare been
traced. Greenville was the original center
of infection, and the spread of the disease
was due to the fact that for weeks the Green?
ville authorities maintained that the "erop
ti ve disease" was chickenpox and not geo
uine smallpox, during which time the proper
precautions were not taken to prevent tbe
spread of tbe disease. It is a Ute day for
Greenville to become hysterical and talk
abont quarantining against smallpox in Sum
ter County miles away from any town.
There are .a few cases of smallpox in o*e
family io Sunter County, but not a single
case io the City of Sumter, nor is there a sus?
picious case in this city. Tbe caee reported
to the State Board of Health is miles away
from tbis city, and in a neighborhood where
it is nolikeiy to spread, as there is not mucb
probability of others coming io contact with
those who are not infected. Tbe township
board of health bas taken all proper precau?
tions to prevent a further spread of the ois
ease, the family having it now having been
isolated. Every person living within two
miles of the family will be vaccinated and
tbe house in which they live will be thorough?
ly disinfected when the disease has run its
course and danger of infection has passed
There is no danger ef smallpox reappearing
in this city, for every mao, woman and child
was successful!v vaccinated last Spring when
the disease first appeared here, and now there
is not the remotest probability of any resi?
dent of Sumter contracting tbe disease. A
quarantine against tbe City of Sumter is both
needless and foolish, and the authorities of
other towns should do this c.ty the justice to
ascertain the facts from tbe ?tate Board of
Health before they rush into the papers and
advertise to tbe world tbe false charge that
smallpox has brokeu out in Sumter, fcumter
County i3 a large place and it is qoite a dif?
ferent tbing to h-ve smallpox in Sumter
County miles datant from the city and to
nave it within tbe lia its of tbe city.
Tbe City Council should see that all tran?
sient marchant;, th*t is, tbe merchants wbo
come here in tbe fall, open stores, roo a few
months aod then go elsewhere, pay taxes and
a substantial license for doing business. The
regular merchants wbo do business tbe year
round pay bern taxes and .icense and besides
furnish employment for a large number of
men, thus helping to keep up tbe town, while
these transient merchants do tbe town little
or no good, and are bera for tbe bosy season
only and as 9?on as tbey have made ali th??
caa out of tbe c-.sh fall trade they depart tor
other fields.

The above portraits are used to call your attention to
Our New Fall Styles in Men's Suits
?.'
Which are Ready for Your Inspection.
We have placed our Clothing on a higher plane than ever
before. The fabrics are strictly all wool and decidedly the
most novel that will be offered this season. Many new im?
provements in the details of our garments.
The comfortable and graceful hang to our Suits will give
the wearer that distinguished appearance foreign to ordinary
Ready-to-Wear Clothing. The fact that you will not pay one
penny more for the right kind, should interest good dressers
with an eve to economy. Our range of prices :
$7, $8. $9. $10, $12, $15, $18,
We also have some good values at $5 and $6, which are not,
strictly speaking, all-wool, but will give satisfactory wear.
