Smith's death- I was" away from home when statement was published and did not see it until last week. The statement as published contra? dicts my|evidence given before. Coro? ner's juiy and in part" is incorrect. What I did say was,' that there was no foundation for the report that Mr. Smith was! carrying my gun, on ac? count of threats made against his life by a negro or his threatening to take his own life, etc. " I meant no reflec? tion on . coroner's jury ; the verdict was about the only one could have been rendered from evidence before them at the time. The verdict as I understand it, leaves it unsettled as to how Mr. " Smith came to his death yet it was' published as a verdict of sui? cide, which I am satisfied grew out of misinformation given the newspapers. We will never know positively how Mr. Smith came to his death, but from careful^examination and evidence obtained since verdict of jury was ren? dered I am thoroughly convinced that it was an accident. ? make this state? ment to correct any wrong "impression that might have been made on any member of coroner's jury, also in deference to the feelings of Mr. Smith's family and friends.

Washington, September 29.-Presi? dent Roosevelt resents in unmistakable ? terms the insinuations thrown \ ont by designing politicians that he is to be as a piece of putty in the hands pf the Republican bosses, because he succeed? ed to the Presidency under such ever to be regretted circumstances. In dis? cussing public affairs with his personal friends President Roosevelt shows con? siderable feeling when the subject - of his succession and his future policy is under consideration. While he has a most profound regard and admiration for the ability and the excellent judg? ment of his late predecessor and; at the same time, is heartily in . accord with the general j)oiicies of the Re? publican party, he seriously and stren ously objects to being considered in the light of a political accident or a national experiment. Mr. Roosevelt contends that the Constitution of Vfche United Stat?s provides for the office of Vice President to meet just such a mournful and distressing contingency as arose when President McKinley was stricken down by the hand of an assassin. The voters of the United States were. well aware bf this fact when they went to the polls last No? vember, and by . their ballots declared that if any emergency should arise which would deprive the country of the inestimable services of William Mc? Kinley, they would have Theodore Roosevelt tb step in and take his place. It is. exasperating to a man of his am? bitious nature and impulsive charac? teristics to have it even suggested that if he permits himself to be bound and gaggea by the party boses, he may manage to squeeze through his admin? istration in an acceptable manner and merit a renomination four years hence. Every day it becomes more and more apparent that before a great while President Roosevelt will throw oS some of the restraint under which ^ he is now laboring and give the political leaders a piece of his mind, so that they will fully understand that so long as he occupies the Executive Mansion the people of 'the United States will have a thoroughly Roosevelt adminis? tration, v. . ', ; ;T..... A ROLLER MILL FOR SUMTER. Do the Business Men Want lt Established ? The business men of this city are face to face with the opportunity to secure the establishment in Sumter of a 50 barrel roller flour mill. All that is needed is a disposition to help along an enterprise that will be of great and unquestioned'benefit to the city and to the entire county. If one hali of the business, men of the city will take a share or two, each, in the proposed roll? er mill ccompany it will be built in time to handle -the.^ next ^crop of wheat, and furthermore it will be run by a man who has had 20 years success? ful experience in the mill business and is now.running a succesful roller mill in this State. He wants to come to Sumter and will come if the people of Sumter give him the proper encour? agement. A short time ago the edtior of the Item received a^letter from this gentleman in reference to the outlook for the establishment of a roller mill in this city. The matter was mention? ed in this paper at the time and he was written to promptly, giving all the information possible and referring him to several gentlemen in this city who expressed interest in the proposition. Mr. J. J. Harby has been in corres? pondence with him for several weeks, and, after being fully satisfied as to his responsibility and also that he knows the mill business thoroughly, he went to see him and made a careful and full investigation of f the business of the mill with which he is now connected, was convinced that a roller mill in Sumter would be a paying enterprise. Mr. Harby has undertaken to form a company to establish the mili and by the advice of the gentlemen who will manage it, if it is established, is seek? ing to interest as large a number as possible of the merchants in it to the end that they will patronize the mill when they need flour and other mill products. No one will ba asked to take a large block of stock, but it is hoped that every business man in town will take at least one share. . Mr. Harby started out last Wednesday with a subscription list and the en? couragement he met with was not as hearty as the enterprise he is seeking to bring to Sumter merits, and, to say the least, the excuses given by some of those he approached were decidedly thin and lacking in public spirit. It is up to theN business men of Sumter to say whether Sumter shall have a roller mill or not. If they want it they can get it, and, at the same time bring to Sumter a man who" knows how to run it as a profit paying enterprise and will do so because he will be the one most directly interest? ed, by investing a hundred or two dol? lars each in the stock of the mill com? pany. Do they want it? Do they want another money making establishment in the city? Do they want to encour? age wheat growing in Sumter county? If so, they will take a share of stock when Mr. Harby calls with the sub? scription list. The Discoverer of America. Paris, Sept. 29.-An important work which throws fresh light on the dis? covery of America by Columbus has been written by Henry Vignaud, first secretary of the United States embassy here. It is in French and will be published in this city October 1. Mr. Vignaud, who is president of the Americanist's society of Paris, has made a life study bf the early history of America. In an interview with the correspon? dent of the Associated Press, Mr. Vig? naud said: "The present work is intended to show that for the last four centuries we have been deceived by a fraud which hides from us the real begin? ning of Columbus' project and that the famous documents ascribed to Tos canelli, the learned Florentine astron? omer, were fabricated. I submit ex? cellent reasons for believing that Tos canelli never wrote the letter of 1474 to King Alfonso of Portugal and never traced the chart alleged to have accom? panied it. Columbus' design was not founded on any scientific basis but on positive information as to the exist? ence of lands to the westward. FILIPINOS RENEW WAR. Company Almost Annihilated on Samar.

To the Editor: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to extend I to the people of your county my sin? cere and heartfelt thanks, for their kind and liberal support in the recent ! primary election. I hardly think it possible for anyone to have any keener j sense of appreciation, and at the same time feel more keenly the responsibil? ity resting upon-me as the spokesman of the district. The responsibility is magnified, and the honor greater, be? cause we are to attempt to fill the place mad6 vacant by as able, as earnest and as conscientious representative of th? whole people as this district has ever had. My purpose shall be to rep? resent the entire district, and I do not want any one to hesitate in mak? ing known any wish to me, and i promise, as far as possible in; con? sistency, to do my best to gratify the wish. . The best that we can do is all that we can, and it is all that we promise to do. I trust that we will conduct our? selves in such a manner that no one will feel that he acted, unwisely in helping to make me his representative. Very respectfully, AF. Lever.

The story recently telegraphed from Lake City to the effect that oil had been discovered in that town turns out to be a monstrous fake. There was a well-laid plan, however, to fool the property owners. It seems that while the well borers had gone to dinner some of the smart young people of the town poured gallons of oil in the well and dropped in small particles of coal. The j "salting" process hoodwinked the populace, and the news spread like wildfire that oil had been found. It is said that offers were made for the purchase of property near the well. Col.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY. The Witnesses Monday Not Fa? vorable to Schley. Washington, Sept. 30.-Rear Admirai Evans, who as captain, commanded the battleship Iowa during the Santi? ago campaign, was a witness before the Schley naval court of inquiry today. His testimony covered the entire pe? riod from the time the Iowa, left the port of Key West oh the 20th' of May, 1898,. until the 5th of July, ' when Ad? miral Evans testified he had ai cbhver: safio? with Admiral Schley concern? ing the battle of the 3d. He described in detail the principal battle off San? tiago, and also gave particulars con? cerning the bombardment of the Colon on the 31st of May.. . Other witnesses of the day were : Capt. Theodore F... Jewell, who was commander of the cruiser Minneapolis during' the * Spanish war, and 2 Com mander James M. . Miller, who was in wmmand of the Collier Merrimac until the vessel' was turned over to lieut. Hobson to be sunk" in the mouth of the harbor . at. Santiago. Admiral Evans had not concluded Ms testimony when, the'court adjourned for the day. Commander Miller read from the collier's log to show that the Iowa, the Massachusetts and the Castine had been coaled on the 23d and 24th. The sea on the 25th, he said, was nasty. On the 26th the collier was making from 6 to ll knots and the sea was smoother. Vessels could have coaled that day. He had objected to having two battleships coal at once, as they had a peculiar rolling motion and might have crushed the collier be? tween thein. ' In response to the court, Commander Miller said he could have ? coaled'any of the ships on the 25th, J though not comfortabfy. Capt. Theodore F. Jewell said that he had first fallen in with the flying squadron on the evening of May 26th. Capt. Lemly quoted from Admiral Schley's letter to the senate committee on naval affairs, dat?d Feb. 18, 1899, saying, "after having been informed by/ the scouts commanded by such offi? cers as^Sigsbee, Jewell and Wise, that although they had been off Santiago for a week they had seen nothing of Cervera's fleet since it left Curacoa," and asked whether he had given to Admiral Schley this information . or any other information of the Spanish fleet. ? The witness. replied il''I gave . him no information with reference to that subject whatever.", "j The judge advocate asked: '.'At the time you were within signalling dis? tance, of the. flagship. of the flying squadron off Santiago were you at any time asked any . question by Commo-/ dore Schley as to the presence of the: Spanish squadron in Santiago?" "Not to my recollection-." The witness said in reply to a- ques? tion from Mr. Raynor that ne had no knowledge that Capt. Sigsbee, speak? ing for himself and for Cap ts. Jewell and "Wise, stated to Commodore Schley on the 26th at Santiago that neither he (the witness) nor Wise nor himself (Sigsbee) had seen anything or knew. anything of the movements or where? abouts of the Spanish fleet. Nor ^di& he know whether Capt. Sigsbee wrote a letter to Commodore Schley stating that that was a fact. -: AN OLD ADAGE SAYS "Alight purse is ?heavy cane* Sickness makes a light parter The LIVER Is the seat of tdao . : - tenths of all disease* ? t?.$9 ? .-.-?ri ter, 1f?<nWyf<&cldjr saf?l^ 5 and restore th? actionofcthtei Jg LIVER to normal eoadttkm^^^ Give tone to the system <w?l% solid flesh to the Jbody.
