dated the 16th, he makes the follow?
ing announcement of the death of his
child:
Again God in His wisdom and good?
ness has seen fit to take away our dar?
ling. This is the fourth and last.
Marion was two years old in May gone.
She was a sweet, bright child, and a
great comfort to us.

well known in Sumter as well as
throughout the State.
The result of the trial of Lawrence
M. Foxworth in the Mayor's court
was the principal topic of discussion
on the streets the next day. Everybody
wants to know why Foxworth was not
found guilty if he really did go to Mr.
Lide's house in an intoxicated condi?
tion and did conduct himself in a
manner that frightened Mrs. Lide and
the other female members of the
family. That's the question.
a There was a fine sale of tobacco last
Thursday. The quantity was large, the
quality good and the prizes satisfac?
tory. Sumter is not one of tke big
tobacco markets of the State, but it
handles a good lot of tobacco during
a year and the prices are always as
high as on the other markets.
Mr. W. Quinn Jeffords, who for
twenty years has been foreman of the
carpenters' force of the roadway de?
partment of the Northeastern Railroad
Company at Florence, has been ap?
pointed roadmaster of the Manchester
and Augusta division of the Atlantic
Coast Line system, with headquarters
at Sumter. This is a justly deserved
promotion, and Mr. Jeffords's many
friends are delighted to know that his
excellent services have at last been
recognized by the Coast Line officials.
Mr. Jeffords left Friday, accompanied
by his family, for Sumter, where they
will hereafter reside.-Florence Cor.

high standard of work. This is an in?

and is ranking in the South as the
best colleges for women do in the

Assistant Chi^f of Police Weeks cap?
tured Sam Dozier last Wednesday with
a cow in his possession that had been
stolen from Mr. Sep. Harvin, of Clar?
endon County. Dozier claims that he
did not steal the cow and that he is
an innocent victim of circumstances.
He claims that th** cow was turned
overt?) him to be sold by a man named
Carpenter. The excuse was too thin
to pass muster and Dozier was locked
up to await trial at the next term of
court.

The rains for several weeks have
been very irregularly distributed in
Sumter County. Some sections have
had so much rain that the crops are
suffering from an excess of moisture,
while in other sections it is too dry.
House breakers and burglars will
find that Sumter is not a safe place
for plying their trade. A blood hound
is the most difficult of all detectives
to throw off the track.
Jim Veney, alias Hobo, the negro
who escaped from the chain gang a

The special street paving committee
of City Council held a called meeting
on the 13th at 6 p. m., to consider
the proposition of Mr. W. Y. Fair, of
Newberry, to take the contract for the
macadam work on Main Street. After
going ever the matter carefully, it was
decided to accept the proposition and
a contract was accordingly drawn up
and signed. Mr. Fair agrees to fur?
nish all material and to pave Main
street from Liberty street to the At?
lantic Coast Line track, to put in
brick and cement enrbs to support the
macadam and to do the work in a
manner satisfactory to the street com?

the completion of the work, but in
case the work shall be completed in
less time Mr. Fair is to receive a
bonus of S3 a day.
