/ DOWN IN DIXIE."
A Very Creditable Amateur Performance
Thursday Night.
The presentation Thursday night of
"Down In Dixie," by amateur talent,
from the Sumter Military Academy,
was a very creditable performance.
The play is quite an interesting one,
full of life and sentiment. It depicts
life in the South during the great war,
and contains a prettv love storv.
Th ere is also a light touch of comedy
in it.
All the characters were very well
selected and acted their part well.
Miss Harby, Coi. Owens, Capt. Smoak
and Lieut. Turner were especially
good. The latter as an old slave was
quite realistic. The actors might have
put more life into their lines at cer?
tain critical points, but altogether
they were acceptable.
The recitations by Miss Starling
were a treat and she received generous
applause.
There was a good audience present,
there being one of the largest of the
season.
The Training School Commencement.
A great deal of interest is taken in
the graduating exercises of the Sum?
ter Training School of Nurses, to be
held in the Opera House on this
evening. It promises not only to
to be one of the prettiest com?
mencement exercises of this season
but also one of the social features of
the town. The gentlemen who have so
gallantly given their cooperation for
this worthy institution, are some of
the best speakers in the State. Colo?
nel C. J. Owens, of the Sumter Mili?
tary Academy has assigned six of the
students of his school to act as ushers,
and their pretty uniforms will add
much to the occasion. The Second
Eegiment band of Sumter will treat
the audience to some very choice selec- j
tions during the evening. The friends
of the young ladies who have learned
to appreciate, the eminent services
they rendered in several cases of sick?
ness in their families, will undoubted?
ly show by their presence that we all
wish them success in the career for
which they have prepared themselves
and upon which they are now going to
enter.
A Letter From Mr. Smith.
Daily Item, Nov. 16.
We are in receipt of the following
letter today from Mr. Smith, which
will explain itself:
Publisher Daily Item, Sumter, S. C.
Dear Sir: My attention has been
called to an article appearing in your
paper a day or so ago-something
about "get rich quick." While you
are wrong on detaris, I am confident
you are aiming at my business. Again,
you do us a great in justice for we have
not "fallen through," but on the con?
trary we are carrying out all our con?
tracts, and have been-right here at
the same stand-for the last past eleven
or twelve years, which period covers
my business career.
X would suppose you are as ready, or
even more ready, to correct a mistake.
If you would like, to know of me or
of my character and reputation, ask
any citizen of Monticello, then let me
know your conclusion. Let me hear
from von. Respectfullv.
J. E. Smith.
A Card From A. White & Son.
We beg to announce to our friends
and the public, that we have sold the
business and good will of our insur?
ance Agency to Messrs. Horace Harby,
L C. Strauss and Marion Moise. The
new firm will retain the agency of each
of our old companies, and all policies
now in force issued by us, will be re
'newed by them, without change of
? company. We commend the new firm
to all onr policy holders, and hope that
they will receive the full patronage of
them who have so liberally supported j
us in the past.
In retiring from the business, and j
closing an agency established by our ?
senior in October 1886, and which has !
been in continuous existence for 35 ?
years, we would return^ our heartfelt j
thanks, to these staunch and constant
friends and patrons whose friendship |
and confidence we have enjoyed for |
so many years, and express our deep j
regret at the circumstances that con- ?
strain us to retire. j

purchase of the Insurance Agency and
good will of the business of Messrs.

The A. C. Phelps Company) and will
represent all companies heretofore re?
presented by these two agencies and
under the name and style of ' ' The
Sumter Insurance Agency" we shall
conduct, the business formerly, carried
on by them. All policies will be
promptly renewed upon their expira?
tion and any new business entrusted to
us will be carefully and promptly at?
tended to.

Lecture by Rey. Louis J. Bristow.
The lecture at the Bartlette Street
Church last night on Cuba and Cuban
misisons, by Rev. Louis J. Bris?
tow, was indeed a treat to the full and
appreciative audience. His subject
matter was almost entirely that of an
eyewitness. Facts are the most pow- .
erful things with which we have to do.
Intelligent interest in mission work ;
means sustained and growing interest.
The substance of this lecture will stay
with us. Bethel and Wedgefield are
justly proud of their young pastors.

Fire at Smithville.
It is reported by telephone that Mr.
W. S. Smith, of Smithville, lost his gin
house and sixteen bales of cotton by
fire early Sunday morning. His resi?
dence and store barely escaped burn?
ing.
Further details concerning the fire
at Smithville were received yesterday
afternoon. The fire occurred about 4
o'clock Sunday morning and is sup?
posed to have been caused by rats in
the loft of the gin house. Thirteen
bales of packed cotton, three bales of
seed cotton, three gins, one boss press,
an engine and the house and fixtures
were destroyed by the fire. There was
no insurance and Mr. Smith estimates
his loss at 81, SOO

Southern Railway Pullman Service.
Southern Railway has inaugurated
Pullman sleeping car line between
Washington D., C., and Atlanta, Ga.,
on their "Atlanta and New York Exs
press," trains Nos. 55 and 34: first clas
southbound leaving Washington No?
vember 3d: first class northbound
leaving Atlanta November 5th, 1901.
This affords Pullman service on these
trains through from Atlanta to New
fork, the Pullman cars having hereto?
fore been attached to the Atlanta &
New York Express at Charlotte and no
Pullman service between Charlotte
and Atlanta.
Things go pretty lively down on
Divine Street. Thursday afternoon a
general row seems to have taken place
in . which mean liquor, razors and
other arcticles of war figured. One
dusky damsel cut another one in the
head during the performance. The
offender was arrested by Constable
Dinkins and brought before Magistrate
Wells in short order. She was given
thirty days in jail. The witnesses
who were present at the trial wTere in
an unsteady condition, it is said.
The ladies of the Jewish Lecture
Hall will hold a bazaar on Dec. the
4th and 5th at th? armory of the Sum?
ter Light Infantry. This will be a
"bazaar" with new and amusing fea?
tures, and from the present outlook
the greatest variety and collection of
everything that is usually found, at a
"bazaar." There will be quite a num?
ber of attractions which will be an?
nounced later. On the 5th of Decem?
ber the ladies will give a grand din?
ner at the Armory Hall which will be
a finer ono in every respect than the
one given by them last year. The
price of the dinner including coffee
and dessert will be 50 cents.
Local Cotton Market.
Strict middling 1%.
Cotton has taken another slight rise
in price. The snow, [if general
over the cotton belt will probably put
an end to the top crop and the price
should rise considerably within the
next few days. Local receipts today
are very light.

A Visitor From England.
Mr. Bertram Smith, of Liverpool,
England, was in the city several
days last week. Through the kind
i ness of Mr. F. C. Hyman, we obtain
! ed the following facts concerning Mr.
Smith's visit to our city. Mr. Smith
i represents the firm of Smith, Edwards
j & Co, one of the largest cotton buying
concerns of Liverpool. He arrived in
j the city on Monday and on Tuesday,
in company with Mr. M. G. Rytten
; berg, he visited the Ryttenberg
plantation at Rose Hill, where he was
given a very pleasant day by the
proprietors. Here he witnessed for
the first time, the picking, ginning,
and baling of cotton. On Wednesday,
he visited the Aycock farm at Wedge?
field, where he was accorded a most
hospitable welcome.
Mr. Smith left Thursday morning
for Atlanta on his way to New
Orleans. WTe are glad Mr. Smith
paid our city and county a visit and
hope he will return another time.
Preliminary Hearing.
The preliminary hearing of the case
of the town of Mayesvilie vs. Morris,
Truitt, and Trimnal, charged with in?
cendiarism, was held in Mayesvilie
last Wednesday. Mark Reynofds, Esq.,
represented the prosecution and I. C.
Strauss, Esq., and John Keels, repre?
sented the defendants. Morris and
Truitt were bound over to the higher
court and Trimnal was released, there
being no evidence against him. The
two prisoners were brought back to
Sumter and placed in jail.
MRS. BOBINE'S TRIAL
Washington, Nov. 18.-Tomorrow at
10 o'clock before Judge Thomas M.
Anderson in criminal court No. 1 of
the District of Columbia will begin
the trial of Mrs. Lola Ida Hemry
Bonine, under indictment for the
murder of James Seymour Ayres, Jr.,
in the Kenmore hotel in this city on
the night of May 15th last. The case
attracted widespread interest at the
time the tragedy occurred, largely
on account of the mystery which
shrouded the death of the young man,
and this interest was augmented while
the coroner's inquiry was in progress
by the dramatic confession of Mrs.
Bonine of her-part in the tragedy.
She told her story to the district attor?
ney and to the local detectives, saying
that she had been the only person in
the room when Ayres was s,bot and
that he was killed in a struggle with
her over the possession of a revolver
with which he was trying to frighten
her into compliance with improper
demands on his part. She has been in
jail under arrest since then. The room
in which the trial will take place is
incapable of accommodating comfort?
ably more than one hundred and fifty
persons. Marshal Palmer has been
compelled to announce that admission
can be secured only by tickets to be
issued at his office.
Mrs. Bonine asked that about a
dozen seats within the railing be re?
served for her friends. She will be
accompanied to the court room by her
husband and two sons, by her sister,
Mrs. Metcham, who has come from
her home in Missouri for the purpose
of being present, and by one or two
women friends. It is also expected
that later in 'the trial, a brother, Mr.
Grant Hemry, and a sister, Miss Pearl
Hemry, will be present. Seats have
also been reserved for five attorneys to
represent Mrs. Bonine, although it is
not expected that all of them will be
present at any time. District Attor?
ney Ashley M. Gould will be assisted
in the prosecution by Hugh T. Tag?
gart. Seventy-three witnesses, have j
been summoned on behalf of the gov?
ernment. Thus far no subpoenas have
been issued for any witnesses in Mrs.
Bonine's behalf.
MISS STONE'S RANSOM.
Sofia, Bulgaria. Nov. 17.-The cap?
tors of Miss Helen M. Stone, the
American missionary' and Mrs.
Tsilka, her companion, have not yet
replied to the latest proposals of Dr.
Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the
United States in Sofia. This is believ?
ed to be due to the fact that the band
has many leaders and that the latter
are not able to agree among them?
selves.
There is a general impression here
that time is being lost awaiting for the
brigands to reduce their demands.
It is felt that the only means by which
matters can be brought to a head is to
inform them as to the sum avaliable
for ransom and to state that this can?
not be increased for any consideration
whatever. Such an ultimatum might
endanger the life of Miss Stone but it
is more probable that the brigands
will accept this condition,.
Besides every day's delay imperils
her life, not so much on the score of j
the brigands themselves, but by rea?
son of the epxosure and strain she is
undergoing.
Woffbrd Defeats Carolina.
Spartanburg, Nov. IS. -Wofford

this afternoon at football in a pretty j
game of two twenty-minute halves. '
The official score was ll to 6 in
Wofford's favor. The victory a was
surprise to Wo ff o rd as well as to
Carolina. Umpire Phifer, of Spartan?
burg was severely criticised for the
decisions against Carolina. It is al?

before. Watkins and Smith plaved a
star game for Wofford. while Cogburn,
Gunter and Davis played the game
for Carolina.

? THE GOOD ROAOS SPECIAL
Greenville Invites the People of
the State to the Goods Roads
Convention in December
-The Great Need of
the South.
j On behalf of the citizens of Green
I ville an invitation is extended to the
j people of South Carolina to visit our
city during the week beginning
Monday, Dec. 16th, when the ""Good
Roads Special- of the Southern Rail?
way will be here for the purpose of
building sample roads and holding
meetings with the view of teaching
the people in practcal road building.
This is the only point in the Piedmont
section where the train will stop to do
any work, and everyone who can do so
ought to take the opportunity of learn?
ing for himself what can be done in
the making of roads with necessary
! machinery handled by men who are
experts in the business.
So much has been said and written
in regard to this subject of good roads!
that the people of the South are prac- j
tically in thorough accord with the
idea that good roads are an acquisition I
and benefit to any community. Every
one is convinced that the lack of good
j roads is one of the greatest drawbacks
to the gowth and prosperity of the
South, and to supply this lack is
one of the most serious problems be?
fore us today. A net-work of main
roads built under scientific direction
with durable and permanent material
will alone meet the urgent demand of
our rural districts and market towns.
The lines of competition are being
drawn more closely every year and the
margin of profits are growing more
slender in consequence, so that it is
imperative to employ every element
looking to low-priced production and
cheap distribution of the crops that
are grown on the farms, and which
are to be consumed by the non-pro?
ducers. The entire population of any
section is interested in whatever may
contribute to this result, and it is
clearly demonstrated that good roads
I are a prime factor in the development
i of the country, while providing the
greatest economy in bringing the pro-,
ducer and consumer together, so that
both classes will profit by easy and
cheap transportation over our public
roads.
How can we secure better roads in
the South? This is the question to be
discussed by practical men in the
Good Roads convention which will be
held, in this city while the road-mak?
ing is being demonstrated on the
roads and streets. Organized and
practical lines must be laid down to
secure the results aimed at, and it is
necessary that every citizen shall give
his moral and financial support to
measures which are intended for the i
benefit of ail. Goods roads mean a
.direct benefit to every farmer, as there
in no plan that will do more to enhance
the value of lands and develop rural
communities than permanent and wel
constructed' highways. Nothing can
be found to contribute more to the
I contentment and happiness of a farm?
ing population, and whatever conduces
to this state of affairs on the farm
confers lasting benefits upon towns
and cities, for the prosperity and ad?
vancement of the farmers are quickly
reflected in the growth and wealth
producing character of their neigh?
bors.
While there is great unanimity upon
the advantages of good roads, there
is in reality very little practical
knowledge as to the means and ap?
pliances for securing this desirable
result, and hence the proposed conven?
tion ought to attract men from every
walk of life, especially those who are
engaged in making and executing the
laws of the State. The burden of con?
structing and maintaining good roads
must not fall upon any particular
class, and while the work of road
building is a practical necessity? there
is also an imperative requirement in
providing the ways and means for
constructing roads upon an equitable
and just basis. This can be ascertain?
ed by discussion and demonstration,
and "hence the propriety of organizing
Good Roads associations while giving
instruction in practical road-building.
Both of these objects will be attained
in-the coming of the "Good Roads
Special" next month to Greenville,
and such an opportunity is rarely
given any people at so moderate a cost.
The citizens of Greenville are mak?
ing full preparation for the accommo?
dation of the hundreds and thousands
who are expected from every quarter
of the State, and in addition to the
hotels and boarding houses, the private
families are asked to take boarders for
the week in order to provide for any
extra demand on this occasion.

Big Gathman Gun is a Wonder.
New York, Nov. 18.-The mixed
board of army and navy officers detail?
ed to witness and report on the per?
formances of the Gathmann gun did
not make a further trial of the gun
today. The board intended to try a
projectile to be weighed with 500
pounds of sand as a substitute for the
wet guncotton used in the Gathmann
shell. The object was to ascertain
what the shell was capable of doing
without the explosives. The board
however, concluded to abandon any
further test, after witnessing the effect
j of a regular service shell charged with
j 20 pounds of maximite. The latter was
I discharged from the regular 12rinch

; less powder at a distance representing
j four miles. The service shell with a
j muzzle velocity of 1.800 feet a second
I struck the target, and shattered it to

OHIG?GO BOUND IN BUNDIHO FOG.
Nine Collisions and Dozens of
Accidents Occur.
Chicago, Nov. 19.-The densest fog
ever experienced in Chicago caused
numerous collisions between trains
early today. In these collisions two
men were killed, two were so badly
injured that they will probably not
recover and 15 others were seriously
hurt. Scores of others, thc police say,
were injured in minor accidents, due
to the fog, but ns they were able to
assist themselves no official reports
were made.
The more serious accidents occured
cn the Metropolitan and the Lake
Street Elevated roads. Collisions be?
tween vehicles and street cars were
frequent but while a great number of
j people were injured by them, none of
the injuries incapacitated them and
! the damage was chiefly to the colliding
j objects themselves.
The fog at an early hour was so
thick that persoons standing on the
sidewalks could scarcely distinguish
street cars passing within a few feet
I of them and motormen kept their
gongs clanging a constant warning.
The collision on the Metropolitan ,
was between trains going the same
way, as was the case in other acci?
dents. Both trains were crowded,
many passengers standing on the rear
platforms. On the first train these
were almost the only ones to suffer.
The motorman slowed up going around
a curve and while waiting for a signal
to increase speed the Humboldt Park
express train crashed into the rear car
without warning. Thomas Meeny was
killed.
On the Lake Street Elevated the ac?
cident was almost exactly similar.
The people injured were standing on
the rear platform with the exception
I of the motorman, Munn, on the rear
S train. He said he did not see the
j train ahead until too late.
Later in the day news of another
collision which had occurred on the
Metropolitan, became public. One
train was overtaken by another. Otto
Leinhert, the conductor of the first
train, remained on the rear platform
frantically waving a signal lantern
while the passengers who had been
standing with him went inside. His
efforts were in vain. He was crushed
and died at the hospital several hours
later. In all there were nine colli?
sion elevated structures during the
fog.
