Moses JUD OS, Jake Brown, Jake Brown's wife and three other women were co the roourcer'e bench in tbe Mayor's court last Wednesday. Tbe whole crowd were mixed up in a general IOW at Jnnius' boose in tbe west end of tbe city. They created a disturbance tbat annoyed the whole neigh borhood for nearly an hour, and the police were finally sent for to put a stop to tbe rsrket Six of the crowd were run in j and bad to answer for their cois j deeds. Mose Junios appeared to be tbe prime mover io tbe disturbance, and be was found guilty of disorderly conduct and required to pay $3. The others were dismissed with an admonition to keep out of future rows. From the testimony, it appeared that the entire disturbance grew out of a dispute oxer the ownership of two bed slats. There were three prisoners before the mayor Thursday mooing. Frank Ross and George Tindal, disorderly conduct and fighting on the street. Firs dollars or 10 days each. Fioes paid. W J. Abrahams, public drunkenness. Six days or $3. Fine paid. The c ses against Frank Ross and Caesar Borrows for fighting at the depot and against Coleman Beasley for blowing tbs whistle at the Lukens Lumber Mill, which were post poned from Monday were tried and disposed of yesterday. Burrows plead gniity and Ross not gniity. The evidence established the fact that Ross was the aggressor and brought on the fight. The Mayor imposed a fine of $10 on Rosa and $*> on Burrows. Mayor Hogheon instructed the police to put a stop to the guying and racket raised around the depot by hotel porters and to arrest every one that violates the order. Every one brought before the Mayor will be punished as severely as the law permits, as I the noisacce has become intolerable and must be abated. The cace against Coleman Beaseley was heard and a fine of $10 imposed for violating the ordinance. Mr. Jno. F. Laughrey, man ager of the Lukens Lumber Cc , who repre sented Beaseley, paid the fine under protest and gave notice of appeal. Be claims tbat it is necessary to blow the whistle at 4.30 to call out the hands rad again at 5 and 6 o'clock to start tbem to work, and that the ordinance forbids only unnecessary blowing of whistles. The ordinance declares, how ever, that it is not necessary to blow the whistle to call out bands. SHOOTING SPREE. William Brimson Shot Through J the Lung. Bubber Evans, alias Marion Durant, and William Brunson set out lest Wednes day night to catch and beat Shore Davis. They came up with their intended victim at the railroad crossing on Barvin Street near the Lnkeos lumber mill, but they did not make a success of the re mainder of their plan. Wben they tackled Davis he drew a revolver out of bis clothes and opened fire on them. Une bail struck Brunson fairly and squarely, perforating bis right lung. Bubber Evar.s escaped without a scratch. This notorious character seems to bear a charmed life, for be gets into innumer able rows and always escapes without serious iojcry. Bronson is seriously wounded, but bis injury is not neces3ati!y fatal, and Dr. Archie China, who is attending bim, is of the opinion that be will recover. A GENTLE ROAST. What Do the Boys Think of It ? A match game of base ball was plaved in Manning Tuesday between the kids of Sumter aod Manning, and although Sumter came here amid a grand fioorisb of trumpets, with lots of airs, and a huge amount of wiod, our boys gave a fine, large and magnificent drubbing to the tone of 24 to 10 in favor of Manning, and tbe last we saw of tbe Sumter imitations of sports, was in carriages behind fleet footed horses, and paper cigarettes, going ont of town joging "Break tbe News to Mother," a song quite apropos after the licking they received at the bands of Man niDg's youngest players.-MtfDnnicg Times, Aug 2. THE KIDS HAVE A SAY. A Reply to the Manning Times' Hoast. My attention bas been called to an article from tbe Manning Times which says, tbe Manning boys whipped the Sumter boys in a game of ball receotly played in Maoniog. As I was in tbe crowd, I feel that it would be an ir ju si ice to us tc let it pass without letting tbe Sumter people know the facts as they were. To start with, Manning bad a pitcher of at least 20 summers, judging from his looks, wbiie Sumter had one of 14 years. Next Manning bad a catcher of 21 years, if not more, and Sumter bad one of 14 years, who did credit to himself and to bis team A good many of tbe fair dealing people of Manning said the two teams were unfairly matched. Some of ihe Tuen expressed tberoselses as never seeiog a battery so small as the Sumter boyB do such good work. If everything bad been fqual Manning would not have been in it 24 to 10 Yes, I tfcink they ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing tbe little kids to rxake 10 scores, efter having most cf their team nearly grown. We were told bilbie going to Manning by boys wbo bad played them 3 years ago that we could not get a fair game We won't say anything about Man ning's umpire as Sumter bas beard of tbem before. "A Kid." Ball Game. The Bishopville ball players were too much for the local nine and wiped them up in the game last Friday afternoon. The game wes not played to a finish, but wb n it was called off tbe Bisbopville team was away ahead and still piling up the the scores. The selection cf a site for the S*n>ter & Wateree freight and passenger depots ia but the forerunner of the beginning of regular freight and passenger traffic on the new road. The people of Sumter have waited patiently for the openiog of the new road that is to give us competing rates to outeide points, and they now entertain the hope that there will be no needless delay in the inauguration of regular freight and passenger service If convenient schedules are put into effect the Southern Railway will have no reason to complain of the patronage it will receive in Sumter.

Latta, Aug 5.-Mr. Herbert Ellerbe, a brother of the late Governor Ellerbe, met with a horrible death yearprday morning be tween this place and Pee Dee. He came here the day before and sold tobacco. Late in the evening he started to walk berne to Sellers, on the railroad track. Yesterday morning bis body was found on the track. The body was torn to pieces and the largest fragment was a portion of one leg. He was recognized by a part of the face, cootaioing one eye and the nos?, which were not mutilated, and served to identify him. It is not known bow he happened to be caught by tbe train. Be was twenty-eight years old, and un married. Fight on Main Street. Frank Ross and George Tindal, both of whom are well-known in Mayor's Court circles, hid a difference or misunderstanding or soire such thing Wednesday afternoon at the corner of Main and Dugan Streets, and, after blackguarding and cursing each other for a while as a warning up exercise, they resorted to their fists to settle the matter, instead of calling in arbitrators in accord ance with the latest convention of the Hague Peace Conference. A mix-up and a free fight ensued for several oaiaotes, but the police appeared on tbs ecene while the skirm ish was in progress and the belligerents were run ia. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is nar rated by him as follows : "I was in a mo3t dreadful condition My skin was almost yel low, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu ally in back und sides, no appetite-gratually growing weaker day by day. Three physi cians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters,' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at J. F W.
