About 7 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Waring,of Georgetown, who has been stopping at tbe Nixon House for sometime, was found in as unconscious co?dition by the chamber maid. A physician was eummooed immedi? ately and when he arrived it was seen at once that she was suffering from some sort of poi fon, either morphine or chloroform. Ber sou, a little fellow about six years old, was in bed with her acd he was desperately sick though not io a comatose state. Ors. Stuckey and Archie China worked on them for foor hours and finally restored them to conscious Bess. The little boy is thought to be ont of danger, but Hrs. Waring is still in a critical condition and may yet die from the effects of tbe morphine which she admitted having taken herself, with suicidal intent, and hav? ing given to ber son. The only thing that saved the child from death long before tbe physicians were called was that the morphine nauseated him and caused him tc vomit. Mrs. Waring was not of sound mind, was for a time an inmate of the State Hospital for the Insane, bot was discharged a year or more ago, apparently io the full posses-ion of ber mental faculties There is Mo cause assigned fer the attempt to commit suicide, except that ber mental disorder assumed that tendency. Mrs. Waring was once a -student at the Sumter Institute and, as Miss Mattie Gibson, will be remembered by a great manj people. There will be a meeting of tue Sumter Light Infantry in their armory this evening. Mothers, we call your attention to Pitts' Carminative.

Dr. James Evans, secretary of tbe State Board of health, was here yesterday with reference to tbe passage of tbe joint r?solu? tion to appropriate $2,500 as an emergency fund to be used in suppressing tbe smallpox epidemic ia Sumter couoty. The boose passed tbe resolution and tbe senate will like? ly do so next week when it reconvenes. Dr. Evans also wished to seen re authority to barn infected bouses, clothing aod other articles. Dr. 3 va ns was assured by the governor that be bad tbe authority to take this step, which is a very necessary one to prevent the farther spread of the disease at this time, as well as its breaking ont in the future, as it is very easily contracted from germs in infected clothing and buildings. The situation Dr. Evans now regards as under control, as every one who has not bad the disease bas been vaccinated and no new cases are likely to be developed. Tbe in? fected district comprises a region near If ayes ville, about 13 by fonr miles in extent, on both sides of the Black river. Tbe'conntry is very thickly settled, chiely by negroes. There are now about 45 eases, which are baing visited by Dr. Peter Bacot, wbo is in charge and is assisted by E. I. Reardon, tbe health officer of Somter. Dr. Bacot was in charge of the epidemic at Pelham last year, which threatened at ene time to become so serious. How many cases there bave been cannot be told, as tbe disease was not report? ed to the board of health for quite a while after it broke ont, and the negroes did sot realize its serions natnre. Dr Evans says tbat whole families have been s;ck with tbe smallpox, and in one bonse he found six cases. At another boose where be went tbe door was opened by a negro woman who bad the disease and in? side was being conducted a quilting party, many of the attendants on which had the smallpox bnt did not seem to be at all alarm? ed about it. The negroes, after their erst sickness, did cot mind the disease and went around with the "lumps,'"' as they called the emption. Those who bave recovered are plainly ''pitted, ' and there is not tbs least doubt of tbe genuineness of tbe smallpox, although its form, is mild and no deaths have been reported, but some of the cases have been of a more malignant type tbao tbe majority. Tbe people have been vaccinated almost entirely and the epidemic is under control. The appropriation given the State board of health last year was $2,500, and tbi3 was exhausted before the year was hardly half gone, the increased expense being caused by the smallpox at Pelham, Sumter, Orange burg, ^Beaufort, Saluda and other places where the board took charge or rendered help. There is nott' a debt of $600 resting on the board for expense incurred chiefly in the Somter epidemic, and bills are now doe for vaceine points. Qov. Etlertoe assured Dr. Stans that the money to neel these bills would be provided eren if the governor should have to give bis personal note for the amount. The State of Obio has just passed through afsimilar experience, and the secretary .of the health board of that State bas written Dr. Evans in regard to tbe matter. ?n view of the lessons learned by events of tbe past year, it is probable, that should another epidemic breas ont in South Carolina it would be more promptly and successfully dealt witb by tbe health authorities-Tb6 State, Jan. 15. ?Qi I I - People who want a jon on (be construction of the Sumter and Wateree Railroad need not apply to Coi.

There was a motley aggregation before the Mayor Saturday morning. Tbree men and two women had a high old time, drinking, ?gbt ine, quarreling and enrstrg down on Bee Street Friday afternoon, and tbe fun was so fast and noisy that tbe neighbors were disturbed and they finally sent for the police. Four of tbe gang were palled, but tbe ring leader escaped and has not been captured. Saturday morning tbree of tbe crowd told ike Mayor a pitiful tale of woe about tbe bad nigger, Sam Gardner who came there and raised the riot, the other, Willie Johnson, knew nothing about it-nor even bow be got there for be was altogether drunk. The neighbors wbo gathered in a crowd to wit? ness the row furnished all the evidence neces? sary to establish tbe fact that there bad been a row aad tbe Mayor solved the riddle by imposing a fine of $1 each oo Charley Green, Eleanor Jones and Mary Love, and a fine of $2 on Willie Johcson. Alderman Delgar presided at the session of the Mayor's Court yesterday, Mayor Wil? son being unable to attend. Sam Gardner, colored, who waa wanted for taking the lead* ing part in a drunk and disorderly row on Bee Street last Friday presented himself for trial. He entered a plea of guilty to tbe charges against him, and wat given an option on $3 or six deja. Be took the days aod will be mastered tn as a street laborer to-mor? row morning. W.J. Dawsey was arrested Monday night on tbe complaint of bis wife for drunkenness and disorderly coadact and waa arraigned for trial yesterday. He entered a plea of not guilty, but admitted tbat be bad been drinking He was dismissed after receiving a severe lecture and a warning to conduct himself in a more orderly manner. Accident at Packaville. A sad accident occurred oo Monday even? ing near Packsvilie wbicb caused the death of Mr. Hampton Cutter He was working at the saw mill of his fatber, Ben Cutter, when a piece of plaok was caught in tbe rapidly revolving saw and burled in tbe direction Mr. Cutter waa wotking and struck bim on tbe head,,crushing bis skull. After lingering in much pain aod agony during tbe night, death came about 4 o'clock yesterday morn? ing to relieve bis suffering. It is s heavy blow to tbe family wbo bave tbe sympathy of many friends.-Manning Times, Jan. 12. PROSPEROUS COTTON MILL. The Sumter Cotton Mill Clears Fourteen and One-Half Per Cent. The Sumter Cotton Mill had a rery pros? perous year io 1898 and the outlook at pres? ent is that it will soot) be a valuable property and its stock will be gilt edge. The history of tbe mill is koowa to all, bow it lost money year after year, bow it got deeper and deeper into debt until tbe mil was finally shut dowo and tbe stock was considered almost valueless. Aboot thirty months ago the mill was started and money bad to be borrowed for the operating expenses Tbe first jear all expenses were paid and the net earnings were equi Ta lent to 12? per cent on tbe capital stock. Tbe earnings were applied to reduc? ing the floating debt aod to a fond for ope? rating expenses. In 1898 all expenses were paid, a new engine costing $1,500 was pur? chased and the net earnings ovef and above expenditures represented a profit of 14? per cent. Tbe mill is run on 8 cash basis and tbe Seating debt has been practically wiped out, the balance now due amounting to only $2, 700 and this will be paid wben the notes become doe. The showing ia a remarkable one, for the bonded debt of tbe mill is $35,000, and inter? est has been paid also on tbe floating debt, consequently the interest account bas been quite heavy, all of which has been charged to and paid as a part of the operating expense account. In addition tbe purchase price of the new engine-$1,500-has been added to tbe operating expense account for the past year. When all these charges bave been paid and ibe mill has to its credit a net profit of 14 J Per cect- o? the capital stock for tbs year tbe stockholders have every reason to be satisfied. At this rate the mill should pay every dollar it owes within a few more jears, fill the mill to its utmost capacity with new machinery and begin* to pay handsome divi? dends to the stockholders. Tbe parchase of new macbiney is under consideration, and tbe matter was referred to tbe board of directors with power to act. It is probable that the directors will purchase the oew machinery that is needed during the present year. The same officers and directors were re? elected. They are : R. M. Wallace, Presi? dent and Treasurer ; Altamont Moses, Secre? tary ; D. Jas. Winn, Superintendent ; R. M Wallace, M 6. Ryttenberg, Marion Moise, E. W. Moise, R. D. Lee, Altamont Moses and O. Jas. Winn, Directors. If Gloomy and Nervous, and looking on tbe dark side of things, take a few doses Dr. M. A, 8immons Liver Medicine, and the gloom will disappear.

The installation of th? officers of Holly? wood Camp, Woodmen of the World, will take piace this evening in their lodge room io the Masonic Temple. The installa? tion ceremonies will be public and a cordial invitation is extended to all to be present. The installation address will be delivered by Dr. C. C. Brown. The annual banquet will be eerved imme? diately after the conclusion of the installa* tion.

L Scarborough and W. B Murray-should do so to-day or from Clerk R. S. Hood at the meeting to-morrow night. Tbe event of the literary year will be, un? doubtedly, the great novel upon which Count Toistoy has been laboring i \ order that be may devote the proceeds to the transportation to Canada of three thousand Russian Qua? kers. It is generally believed by his friends that this work will probably mark the conclu? sion of Count Tolstoy's literary career. Not merely on this account, bot Oecause of the subject treated, it will attract the widest at? tention, the world over. It is a profound stud v of the lifo of mao aod womaD, aod treats of the three phrases of love tbat of the youth, that of the young mao, aod that of the mao in mature age.

A resolution was adopted to extend the time for tbe pay trent of taxes to February 1. There will be oo farther time gran'el, aod on that date the penalty will be imposed, and the Clerk has instructions to collect tba same from each and every de!; que nt taxpayer. An amendment to the license ordinance was adopted. A tax of 50 cen ts per thousand was imposed on merchants, and a tax of $3 ea dentists, plumbers and bicycle repair shops. A committee from the band came before conocil aod n quested an appropriatioo of $100 io aid of toe band. The request was received as information and action postponed until a full meeting of council.
