Mr. A. C. Phelps Appointed Division Su? perintendent With Headquarters in Columbia. The absorption of the independent cotton oil mills in this State by the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co, has been practically completed for the time being and no more of the inde? pendent mills will be purchased at pre? sent, as the Virginia-Carolina syndi? cate has secured all the mills needed, and it is not thought that any efforts will be made to purchase other mills this season. The eight or more mills purchased including the four of the Atlantic Cotton Oil Co., of this city,' have been combined with the South? ern Cotton Oil Co., of Columbia, also purchased by the Virginia-Carolina, and the cotton oil business will be carried on under the name of the Southtern Cotton Oil Co. Mr. C. Fitzsimmons of the South? ee rn Cotton Oil Co.,who formerly man? aged the Columbia mills, has been ap? pointed Southern Superintendent of the company with headquarters in At? lanta. Mr. A. C. Phelps, formerly Secre? tary and Treasurer of the Atlantic Cotton Oil'Co,, has been appointed Division Superintendent of the Southern Cotton Oil Co., with head? quarters in Columbia, and will have all the oil mills of that company, sit? uated in this State, under his supervis? ion. Mr. Phelps is one of the best posted and most successful oil mill men in this State and the Virginia-Carolina syndicate has done well to secure him as their South Carolina represent? ative. The great growth and financial success of the Sumter Cotton Oil Co.. from which the Atlantic Cotton Oil Co.. with its four large mills and refinery, developed, was due in a great measure to the business acumen and energy of Mr. Phelps, who was the moving spirit in the establishment of the original mill. He worked in defatigibly for the success of the enter? prise : and his efforts were abundantly rewarded as anyone at all conversant with the affairs of the Atlantic Cot? ton Oil Co., will testify. In his new? field he will have greater responisbili ties and many more mills under his supervision., but with his experience it goes without saying that he will make a success of the management of many mills, just as he did when he had only a few under his control. Mr. Phelps will, of necessity, have to remove to Columbia to live, but for the present his family will remain in Sumter. He has already entered upon the discharge of the duties of his now position and will hereafter spend the gerater part of his time in Columbia when not visiting the mills under his supervision. He has many friends in this city, in which he has resided since boyhood, and they regret that he has to leave Sumter, although they are glad that he has received this merited recognition of his ability. Mr. C. C. Fishburn, formerly as? sistant secretary of the Atlantic Cot? ton Oil Co., has been retained by the Southern Cotton Oil Co., and will go to Columbia with Mr. Phelps. Mr. Perry Moses has been appointed manager of the mill in this city, and the superintendents of the other mills owned by the Atlantic Cotton Oil Co., have been retained in their positions by the new management.

A rain came up before the dogs could be taken to the chain gang camp after running the negro who had been released from the gang and they could not pick up the trail of the escaped convict. The dogs followed the trail of the released negro about seven miles before he was "treed" and the officers who were in the chase say that the dogs did excellent work. The Sumter Shirt Mfg., Co., seems to be a success from the start. Orders have been coming in from the day the factory opened for business and orders are now on hand to keep the force busy for sometime to come. Yesterdy a big order for delivery in ten days h?d to be declined as the present force could not finish previous orders and this one additional. This condition of affairs will not exist long, however, as the force of hands will be increased immediately so as to handle with promptness all orders that are received. Thursday afternoon^ a prisoner who had completed his term was released from the county chain gang and about an hour later one of the convicts made his escape. The attempt was made to run the fugitive down with the two bloodhounds owned by the county, but they would not follow the trail. About ll o'clock the guards sent a message to the police asking that their hounds be sent out and put on the trail. Offi? cers Smith and Weeks took the hounds out to the chain gang camp and put them on the trail. They took it up at once and after a chase of several hours treed the man they were follow? ing in a school house in which he took refuge. When he was brought out it was found that the hounds had j licked ut) the wrong trail and had run down the prisoner who had been released. ; This is the first real test the dogs have j ha?i. since they have been owned by ! the police., and the way they followed j the trail last night proves that they are well trained man hunters and will ? follow a trail to the finish:.

President Owens, of the Sumter Military Academy and Female Semi? nary, has closed a contract for the lease of the R. P. Monaghan residence on Main Street, now occupied by Capt. W. E. Zeiglar and known as the Hotel Marion, and will obtain possesson on September 1st. This house, one of the handsomest and most costly private residences in the city, will be used for dormitories for the young lady pupils of the school, and will be tastefully and com? fortably furnished throughout. The art and elocution departments will also be in this building. As these departments will be under the direc? tion of specialists to the classes of which pupils will be admitted whether regularly matriculated in the school or not, the location is considered par? ticularly convenient to such special pupils. The class rooms of the literary and c-ther departments will be in the Institute buildings on Washington Street, in which the male pupils of the school will be quartered. The school will open September 12th with a large enrollmlnt in all depart? ments and its success' seems already fully assured. The only problem that now confronts President Owens is how to find room for all the pupils, but as the Monaghan residence has been se? cured this matter of room is practical? ly settled. . "I am indebted to One M?nate Cough Cure for my present good health a^d my life I was treated ir. vain by doctors for lung trou bles following u grippe. I tock .One Min ? te Cough Cure and recovered my health." Mr E H Wise, Madison, Ga J S Hogbeon Co The Brand house is being removed from the lot recently purchased by the Atlantic Coast Line and within ten days or two weeks the lot will be clear of buildings and in readiness for the be? ginning of work on the new passenger depot. The A. C. L. construction force will have to rush the work on the new depot if it is to be completed before the cotton season opens, the time stated by General Manager Kenly for its completion. The North Carolina firemen are afraid to go up against the hose wagon teams from South Carolina and this year for the first time the largest prize is offered for North Carolina hose wagon teams alone. The experience of the past few years has taught the tar heel firemen that they have no chance for first prize in a hose wagon race against the South Carolina teams. Sumter, Columbia and Camden have won all the prizes worth having for several years in succession. The Sumter Tobacco Warehouse will open for the season on August 1st with a full corps of buyers on the market. The warehouse will be under under the management of Mr. Jeff revs, of Rocky Mt., N. C. who is an experienced warehouse man and he will have capable and competent as sistants. The warehouse did a very satisfactory business last yea*- selling more tobacco thanrwas thought possi? ble at the beginning of the season. This year it is believed that the busi? ness will be larger than heretofore and the outlook is favorable for higher prices. .Toucan never cure d*9pep*i* ?y dieting.

J S Hagb soi t Co The county summerTschool 'opened Monday morning and twenty teachers were enrolled. As there were thirty eight teachers from this county at the State summer school it was feared the attendance at the county school would be considerably less than heretofore, but the enrollment this morning and the others who are known to be com? ing will give the county school quite a creditable enrollment'. The chain gang is now working near Wisacky and a recent visitor to the camp says that the gang, under the management of Overseer Tribble, is doing fine work. A theatrical entertainment will be given in Wedgefield on the evening of August 1st and an invitation is ex? tended to the public to be present. The entertainment is given for the purpose of raising funds to furnish the academy hall, therefore all who are interested in the cause of educa? tion should attend. Auction Sale of Desirable Lots. The advertisement of the auction sale of lots to be held next week will be read with interest by many who wish to purchase a lot in a desirable locality and build a home. The lots offered* are among .'the very best in the city and the terms are so easy and reasonable that men of moderte means will find it convenient to purchase one or more either as an investment or for a building lot.
