The Sumter Club gave a dance tonight at their club rooms in the Masonic Temple, from 9 to 12.30 o'clock last night. The Mayor had a full house yester? day, but the larger part of the audience were spectators and the cases were only unimportant ones. The ladies of the Lutheran Church will serve oysters on the first Monday in January, the 6th of the month. The place will be announced later. The work of rearranging and put? ting in new tracks in the Coast Line yard is being pushed along and before long the various side-tracks will all be in first-class shape. The dispensary sold upwards of 8550 worth of "booze" Thursday. It was closed Friday, as usual, on circus days, and everyone tried to lay in. Thursday a supply of stimulants for Friday. There was an alarm of fire about midnight Thursday night. The fire proved to be outside the city limits, near the bri ck-yard, and consequently the hose companies could do no good. There is a very small attendance at court this week. The civil cases do not attract as much attention as the criminal cases. There will be a num? ber of quite interesting cases during this week, if the court receches them. Work has at last commenced on the macadamizing of Main street. The workmen began breaking up rock at the intersection of Main and Liberty Streets Monday morning, and the work will go on rapidly from now on. Afc the annual meeting of the Chris? tian Temperance Workers of South Carolina, in Greenville, on Saturday, Mrs. Joel E. Branson, of this city, was elected president of the organiza? tion. The preliminary trial of the three prisoneis charged wiith the'burning of several buildings in Mayesviile, will "be begun this morning at 10 o'clock afc Mayesviile before Magis? trate Rhame. Mr. Reynolds will repre? sent the State at the trial. There was a general mix-up at a negro entertainment in the tobacco prize house Wednesday night from all .accounts. As a results of the fracas, Ed Scott was before the Mayor today and was fined $10 or 20 days for his fun. The uniforms for the students of the 13. M. A. and F. S. have arrived and the students may be seen wearing ?them. They are made of the usnal material /or military scohol uniforms and are quite neat in appearance. The .girls will wear dresses of the same ?color and material as those of the ca? dets and "mortar-board" caps. Work on the macadamizing of Main "Street, which began Monday morn? ing, was stopped at noon. Some little trouble about contracts, it appears, caused the delay in the, work. It is reported that the work will be resumed afc once. The South Carolina Telephone Co. suffered severe loss in the Timmons ville fire losing nearly all their proper? ty there without any insurance. Work has commenced on repairing the ex? change and everything will be in working order asrain as soon as possi? ble. The money for paying the managers and defraying other expenses of the election on last week, will not be available until the Legislature meets in January and makes " the appro? priation. This was an unexpected elec? tion and no appropriation had been .made in advance. MARRIAGE THURSDAY NIGHT. Mr. John Fishburne and Miss Jennie Gibson United in Marriage. At the Episcopal Church, Thursday nig;ht, Miss Jennie Gibson and Mr. John Fishburne were united in mar? riage by Rev. H. H. Covington. The church was beautifully decorated and the wedding was a very pretty one in every respect. The following couples attended : Miss Mary Gibson, maid of honor, with Mr. William Frierson, best man. Mr. Raiford Eaves with Miss Ethel Carson. Maj. Loring Lee with Miss Daisy Yeadon. Mr. Gilland Fishburne with Miss Kate Sumter. Mr. David Yeadon with Miss Annie Cunningham. The bridesmaids were dressed in white organdie. Messsrs. Ollie Yates and Edward , McCailum acted as ushers. The bride is a daughter of Mr. B. G. Gibson. The newly wed couple are popular young people of this city, where they will make their future home. MARRIED. On Sunday, November 10, 1901, at the residence of the bride's parents by Rev. J. C. Bailey, Jr., Mr. James j". Whilden. of Wedgefield, S. C., and Miss Mary White Nettles, daughter of Hon. W. A. Nettles, of Privateer, S. Cf Mr. Willie Bultman, of this city, and Miss Gertie Linehan, of Charles? ton, were married in Charleston, Sunday morning, at 6 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Caughrin, the Rev. Father Duffy, officiating. The only attendants were Mr. Willie Burgess, of Sumter, and Miss Sarah Beaseley, of Charleston. A reception was held on Saturday evening and a wedding breakfast was given after the ceremony, after which the bride and groom left for Wilming? ton. They returned to this city on Tuesday, night. A Physician Testifies. "I have taken Eodol Dyspepsia Cure : and have never used anything in my life that did me the good that did," says County Physician Geo W Scroggs of Hall County, Ga. "Being a physician I have prescribed it an? found-it to give the best results." If the food you eat remains undigested in your stomach it decays there and poisons the system. You can prevent this by diet? ing, but that means starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. You need suffer from neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The worse cases quickly cured. Never fails. J S Hughson <fc Co. There were no complaints this time about paying: sixty cents for tickets to the circus, as there generally is. There was no one selling them on the grounds at that price as there are with all circuses, as a rule. The pub? lic are certainly glad that this nuisance was not allowed at the John Robinson's Shows. The next attraction at the Opera House will be "Down In Dixie" on Thursday night, the 14th inst. This play will be presented by the students of the Sumter Military Academy. The production promises to be a good one and there should be a full house. Miss Starlin?:, of the department of elocution, will recite. Tickets on sale now. Levy & Moses' store was visited by crowds of ladies yesterday who were very much interested in Miss Thomp? son's demonstration of the preparation of various dainty dishes. Miss Thomp? son will remain in the city until Fri? day evening and will erive daily demon? strations at Levy & Moses' store. So many negro lieners have disposed of their crops without-consulting: their creditors that the Sheriff's office is overrun with warrants for the arrest of Tom, Dick and Harry for selling prop ?rty under lien. Only a small part of the warrants can be executed, how? ever, for the lieners have not only sold their crops but have" left the county. An exhibit for the Charleston Ex? position was brought in Monday, which is quite an interesting; ene. It consists of a jar of Engrlish walnuts, grown by Mr. Fleet McElveen, of the Shiloh section. The walnuts are large and well formed and are exactly like the ones which are imported. Few persons knew that these nuts could be grown here successfully and this ex? hibit will prove of interest to many. While the exhibits for the Exposi? tion are coming in slowly here, they are being: gathered in the country by Messrs. Marshall and McNeill and are being collected at certain points from which, they will be brouerht to the depot here. The bulk of the exhibits wfll probably arrive during this week. Mr. Suder says the prospects are very bright for a larg:e and representative exhibit from this county. It is cer? tainly hoped the Game Cock county will have a creditable exhibit at the Exposition. Last Friday was a record-breaker for good order, considering the crowd in the city and the presence of the circus. Not an arrest was made for drunken? ness, disorderly conduct, or any other offense. This speaks well for the crowd in town and for our city, also. So the city treasury will not profit by the circus being; here, otherwise than by the receipts of the? usual licenses. With the assistance of Mr. Bradford, Chief of Police, Supt. Edmunds was enable to induce the circus parade to pass by Graded School building;. The result was that the schoolchildren had an excellent view of the procession, a much better one than they would have had if they had been in the crowd on Main street. By opening school & half hour earlier and therefore closing earlier the children who wished to do so had an opportunity of going to the ci rcus. Tao Children's Friend. You'll have a cold this winter. May be you have one now. Your children will suffer too. For coughs, croup, bronchitis, ?jrip and other winter complaints One Minute Con^h Cure never fails. Acts promptly. It is very pleasant lo the taste and perfectly harmless. C K George. Winchester. Ky. writes. "Our little girl was attacked with croup late one ni^ht and was so hoarse she could hardly speak. We gave her a few doses of One Minute Congh Cure. It relieved her immediately and she went to sleep. When she awoke next morning she had no signs of hoarseness or croup." J S Hughson & Co. CHARGED WITH INCENDIARISM. M. J. Morris, J. E. Truitt and Ed. Trim nal are in Custody. As a result of investigation, M. J. Morris, J. E. Truitt, and Ed. Trim nal are in jail charged with the burn? ing of several buildings in Mayesville on the morning of Nov. 3. The'arrests of Morris and Truitt were made on Saturday. Magistrate Rhame, of Magnolia, served the warrants, Magis? trate Bradley being absent from Mayesville, and Chief of Police Gallasher made the arrests and brought the prisoners to jail here. Ed Trimnal came to Sumter of his own accord and gave himself up. Morris had just been released from custody a few days before, having gotten bail. He has made a satisfac? tory settlement with McNair & Co., it is understood, paying them tbe amount he was charged with em? bezzling. It is said that there is a very strong case . of circumstantial evidence against the prisoners, and if they are convicted, it will probably go hard with them. There was a family living in the building next to Morris' store and whoever set ?he fired to Morris' place knew well that the next building would burn. This makes the crime quite a serious one. Another. Residence Burned. The house of Mr. Aleck Reames on the Mayesville road was burned on Thursday night about ll :30 o'clock. The house and contents were a com? plete loss, nothing being saved, not even the wearing apparel of the fam? ily. Mr. Reames had about $500 insur? ance on the property, which will noth? ing like cover the loss. The work on the new passenger depot is* being pushed as much as possible, and it will not be long before the handsome building will be Teady for use. The walls are nearly com? pleted and work on the roof has com? menced. It will certainly be a great change for the better when it is completed, both as to convenience and location, and the old depot abandoned. " Another great ;<get rich quick" scheme has fallen through, so we learn. Everyone in these parts is familiar with the scheme of a certain newspaper in Florida which has been going the rounds of this city and county for several months. The manager of the scheme offered a bicycle or watch to any lady sending in twenty-five sub? scribers to the paper at $1 each. Be? sides the premium each lady was to receive writing to do at home which would pay her a. salary of 820 per month. Of course, this writing was nothing but inducing others to take hold of the scheme. A good number of ladies around here sent S25 for the subscriptions in order to receive the premium and the work. Some secured subscriptions from friends, but many paid the whole amount themselves. It seems that the States of Florida, Geor iga and South Carolina have been pretty thoroughly worked. Now the ? whole business has gone up in smoke I and many people are wondering where ? they are at. The originator of the ! scheme must be pretty well fixed by j now. Of course, some of the ladies j received watches or bicycles. The in- ! vestigation of the business will prove | of interest.

Ryfteiib< ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY. While on his way to this city on last Saturday morn? ing Mr. J. L. Gillis was stopped at Turkey Ford by a negro mau, who jumped from a place of concealment in the bushes by the road-side, and with a drawn pistol demanded money. Mr. Gillis drew his revolver and fired at the negro several times, but his mule took fright at the first shot and dash? ed off, and he does not think he suc? ceeded in hitting the negro. The man had a cloth tied around his head and lower part of face and Mr. Gillis . could not recognize him or give a satisfactory description of his appear? ance. Lee County AH Right. - Columbia, Nov. 8.-This afternoon at 4 o'clock' a meeting of the State board of canvassers was held for the purpose of canvassing the returns and declaring the result in the recent elec ton on the matter of Lee County. Up to 2 o'clock no notices of contest had been filed and it was believed that the result would be declared in favor of the establishment of the new county. The State board of canvassers upon tabulating the returns found that the new county had won out by the con? stitutional majority and so declared. The matter now goes to the Legisla? ture, in accordance with the constitu? tional provisison. FOR SALE-A limited quantity of King Cotton Seed. Apply to W. B. Boyle.
