DEATH. Mrs. Eugenia Lapsley, wife of Rev. R. A. Lapsley, of Staunton. Va., died last Wednesday morning at Green- ; vi Ile,'"Va., after several weeks illness, | aged 'Al years. Mrs. Lapsley was j the only child of Mrs. L. A. Browne, j of this city, and was a woman of noble ? character and of fine mind. She had many devoted friends and relatives in ; this* city, her former home, to whom her death is a sad bereavement^ She leaves a husband and several children as well as her aged mother, who was with her during her last illness. The funeral was held in Greenville, Va., last Thursday. D. J.

The liquor seized Friday by Con? stable Dorn was not consigned to a blind tiger, but was the property of the Hotel Sumter.

The contractors are all crowded with work and in all parts of the city new build? ings are going up. ?The week end excursion rates to the Isle of Palms and the mountains are in growing popularity and a large number take advantage of them each week. Wesley O. Jennings, who was con? victed in the Magistrate's Court in "Wedgefield last Thursday, was recently pardoned by the governor and released from the chain gang after serving only a small part of his sentence. He was sent to the chain gang for break? ing into a freight car and stealing liquor. Wheo yon want a modern, up-to-date physic, try Chamberlain's Stomach and Lirer Tableta.

The new building will be occu? pied by the Becker Optical Co. If all the candidates for Congress spoken of enter the race from Sumter County, it might be a good idea hold a county primary in advance of the regular primary for the purpose of weeding them out to a stand. With four or five candidates from this coun? ty none of the Sumter County men would have the ghost of a chance in the scramble. Dispensry Constable Dorn captured a barrel of whiskey and several cases of beer and other liquors at the depot Friday. The local blind tigers which have been practically driven out of business for a long time are evidently coming to life or they would not be ordering such a large quntity of liquor at one time.

A^programme of entirely new music will be put on and there are to be other features that will go far toward making thisjjeoncert the most success? ful ever given by the band. Sumter County will be without an exhibit at the Charleston Exposition, unless some of the manufacturing es? tablishments in this city prepare and send individual exhibits of their pro? ducts. No county organization for the purpose of securing and preparing a county exhibit has been perfected and nothing has yet Wen done in that direction.

City Council Asked to Subscribe for Stock of Exposition Company. Mr. E. K. Pringle, of Charleston, representing the Charleston Exposi? tion appeared before a special meeting of City Council Monday and request? ed the council to subscribe to the stock of the Exposition Co. He presented his request as a business proposition and in doing so made a straightfor? ward and forcible talk in the interest of the Exposition. He laid stress upon the well known fact that the Exposi? tion is not local in scope or character and that it will benefit the State as a whole far more than the city of Charleston in which it is to be held : consequently it should have the sup? port and cooperation of the people of the State, and especially of the towns and cities. Mr. Pringle's argument was to the point and should have been convincing, but a motion by Alderman W. JJ. Epperson that the city sub? scribe 8500 did not receive a second. After some discussion it was evident that the members of council desired more time for consideration and a motion to defer action until the next regular meeting of council, made by Alderman Hurst, was . adopted. The question is one of importance to the city and will be fully discussed by all classes of citizens between this time and the next meeting of council on Wednesday, July 24th. If the peo? ple of the city favor the appropriaion and so declare themselves council will undoubtedly accede to their wishes and vote whatever sum it is thought wise to expend in aid of the Exposi? tion. Council does not at this time appear to favor the appropriation, and unless it can be shown conclusively that it is the will of the taxpayers that the money be approprited the probability is that no Exposition stock will be taken by the city of Sumter. However as other towns are coming to the aid of the exposition it is to be hoped that Sumter will fall into line and do her share toward makins: the Exposition a success,. It should be a matter of State pride to show to the world that the South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposi? tion can be made a complete success and the greatest exposition ever held in the South, notwithstanding the nig? gardly treatment of congress, which was guilty of the grossest unfairness and discrimination in refusing to make an appropriation in aid of this ex? position after having heretofore appro? priated miliions for other expositions in other states. Sumter should not only aid the exposition but should have a first class exhibit of the re? sources and manufacturing industries of the best county in the state. Blown to ?toms.

I Chief Constable Sam LaFar is mak? ing it so hot for the blind tigers in Charleston that many of the long es? tablished resorts for the thirsty have closed for the season. The police force and the regular constables stationed in Charleston have been too friendly with the tigers and have not hunted them successfully. LaFar and his force of constables were sent from Greenville to take a hand in the hunt and they have given the tigers more trouble than they have ever had since the first days of the dispensary law.

J S Bocb9on & Co The examination of applicants for scholarships in Winthrop College was to have been held in the office of Su? perintendent of Education Friday and a number of young ladies presented themselves for examination, but the questions had not come from the col? lege and the examinatoin had to be postponed. The responsibility for the non arrival of the examination ques? tions has not been fixed, but there must have been carelessness or neglect somewhere. The young ladies who ? wished to stand the examination have I been put to needless trouble and in? convenience. .Sunday afternoon John Hitt, a white boy apparently about 18 or 20 years old, was arrested by Policeman McKagen for firing a pistol near the depot. The facts ascertained by the police were that Hitt and Boozier Dozier, a negro boy, had a difficulty and the negro opened fire on Hitt with rocks and brick bats. Hitt after dodg? ing behind a tree for a few moments pulled a pistol and shot at Dozier. Hitt was a poor marksman and did not bring down his game, but Dozier did not like the smell of gun powder and did not continue the battle. When Dozier took to his heels. Hitt put up his pistol and went on his way until arrested. The case was docketed for trial before .the Mayor, but Mr. L. D. Jennings, representing Dozier, asked for a jury trial and the Mayor, therefore, postponed the trial until th;) afternoon until jury could be summoned.

Constable Dorn Visits Their Dens. Wedgefield, July 15.- Constable C. H. Dorn of Sumter made an unex? pected call on the blind tigers here Saturday and secured three and a half gallons of whiskey and one case of beer, also a pistol which was dropped by John Moore, colored, while trying to escape with his whiskey. Law Breakers Gathered !n. Deputy Sheriff Gaillard {had a busy time last week and he made it warm for the law breakers. On Tuesday he went to Newberry with a warrant for the arrest of E. H. Heidtman, insurance agent who had collected money for insurance policies and appropriated the same to his own use instead of turning it over to Mr. I. H. Moses of this city as he should have done. Mr. Gaillard had some difficulty in locating his man as neither the sheriff of Newberry county nor any of the police of Newberry knew him or could give any informa? tion as to his probable whereabouts. Mr. Gaillard, however, had a descrip? tion of Heidtman, and after looking around a bit found him at the hotel and. placed him under arrest. Heidt? man gave a justified bonnd for 8200 and was released.. Thursday morning Mr. Gaillard went to Pinewood and arrested Judson Haynsworth alias Judson Reese, col? ored., who had obtained money on a mortgage of a piece of land which he represented to be the property of his wife, but which is owned by another person. Haynsworth was brought to this city and committed to jail. Friday afternoon he went to Lanes for John Bethea alias John Branch who had been arrested near that place. John Bethea is a cow thief who escaped from the jail guard a short time ago and has evaded arrest until located at Lanes a few days ago. Bethea was brought back to jail/that night, by way of Florence, and will be kept closely confined until the next term of court when he will be tried. -? i i i -? It Girdles tlie Globe.
