Most people who have expressed an opinion on the subject are in favor of having the numbering of the houses proceeded with at once. A special meeting of City Council was held Thursday night "to decide whether a reduction of license should be given the Wallace Circus. It was decided that no reduction would be granted. A bad complexion generally results from inactive liver and bowels. In all such cases Dewitt's Early Risers produce grati? fying results. J. S. Hughson & Co.

Some people think City Council should make a reduction in license for the circus, but have not brought forward a single sound reason to sup? port their position. What benefit is a circus to a community and why should a circus receive special con? sideration? ' ';I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health and my life.

Two Negroes Arrested for Killing Mr. W. H. Smith. Sumter Mack and Joseph Carter, colored, were arrested at Oswego Mon? day and brought to jail under a warrant charging them with complicity in the killing of Mr. W. H. Smith on Mr. R. P. Stackhouse's place on August 10th. Another negro is suspected of being an accessory and the officers have returned to Oswego to attempt his arrest. A few days ago it was ascertained that Mack had in his possession a pis? tol that belonged to the late Mr. Smith and when questioned about it he told so many conflicting stories that sus? picion was aroused and an investiga? tion brought out sufficient evidence to warrant his arrest and also the arrest of Carter and the other negro for whom the officers are hunting. Sheriff Scarborough went to Tim monsville yesterday to arrest the negro who is wanted for complicity in the/kiliing of W. H. Smith, of Oswego. A search was made for him at Oswego Monday, but as he had left the neigh? borhood he could not be found. It was ascertained that he was at Tim monsville and Sheriff Scarborough went over on the 8 o'clock train yes? terday morning. Chamberlain's Gough Remedy a $reat Favorite.

St. Charles, Sept. 23.-Malachi Wil? son a young negro boy was shot in McCoy ? Smith's store on Saturday night. It seems that "Nub" Clark's brother had left a gun in his charge temporarily and he was warned about handling it, when he claimed it was not loaded. A minute afterwards it was discharged into the thigh, near the hip, of Malachi, boring a dollar sized hole through the leg shattering the bone. It is all claimed to be acci? dental even bv the victim. The Secretary of State on last Wed? nesday granted a charter to the Sum t?r Savings Bank, of Sumter, which is capitalized at $25.000. Horace Har by is president, I. C. Strauss vice president, and Geo. L. Kicker cashier. Will Buchanan Withdraw? The Florence Times has this inter? esting bit of news : On good authority it is stated that Judge O. W. Buchanan will not stand for reelection to the bench in the third judicial circuit. One of his friends in another county has made the posi? tive assertion that Mr. Buchanan would withdrwaw. However, there is nothing official. The paucity of the votes he received as a candidate for Congress in the 7th district has probably influenced to some extent his determination to stand aside. Judge Buchanan has been criticized a good deal for entering the Congressional race while still Judge. A great many have said he should have resigned before announcing his candidacy. Prominent politicians throughout the State, even those who are responsi? ble for the act, are criticizing the elec? tion of Judges to fill positions in one district while they reside in another. Three Judges have been thus elected, and these have been injured in their political prospects somewhat on this account. The withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan if announced leaves three prominent candidates in the race for Judge in this circuit: George Galletiy, of Flor? ence: T. B. Fraser, fof Sumter, and R. O. Purdy, of Sumter. Judge Buchanan Will Retire. The rumors to the effect that. Judge O. W. Buchanan would not be a can? didate for reelection as Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit at the ap? proaching session of 'the General As? sembly has been confirmed by the Judge himself and he will retire from the bench at the expiration of his pres? ent term in December, 1902. In reference to his determination not to seek reelection, Judge Buchan? an says: "I have made up my mind to that effect. Many reasons have moved me to this conclusion. I have observed the helplessness of circuit judges upon their retirement from the bench after serving throe or four terms. I am now in my 43d year. If reelected, as I am assured I would be were I to offer for reelection at the end of the next term I would be beyond 47 years of age, and with nothing saved. To leave the bench at that time or a later time I could not in the nature of things commence a professional career with any boee of success, for my energy and industry would then lie gone even if I had the inclination to work. This is my time to quit. The public has a wonderfully exaggerated idea about the income of a circuit judge. They know nothing of the outgoes and va? rious demands upon him by reason of his official position. " Sam Jones lo Lecture. Rev.
