commissioner; L. J. Willimas had no .
opposition for the place of chairman

ago.
NEW RAILWAY MAIL ROUTE.
Extends From Sumter to Marion, N. C.
Change in Star Route.
Beginning on Monday the 2C?th in-,
stant, a new railway mail route was
put into operation out of this city.
This route, known as the Sumter and
Marion Railway Mail Service, extends
from this city to Marion, N. C., over
the Northwestern R. R., and the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
Railway. These mail " agents have
been assigned to the route and they
have headquarters in this city.
The establishment of this railway
mail route necessitates a change in
the star route that has heretofore serv?
ed the upper section of the county. On
February 3rd the route will be discon?
tinued from this city and the mail for
Providence, Heriots and Smithville
offices will be made up at Scarboro.
from which nlace to Smithville the
star route will be continued. It has
not been ascertained whether Sibley
P. O. will be discontinued or not.
A Shooting Affray.
A shooting affray at King and Co?
lumbus Streets yesterday afternoon
tended to liven up things in that vicin?
ity. W. D. Britt shot and painfully
wounded Arthur Simmons. Both men
are weil known in this city. Britt
was arrested and locked up at the Sta?
tion House, where a charge of assault
and battery was entered against him.
Simmons was able to go home. Like
all difficulties of the kind there are
two versions of the affair, directly at
variance with each other. Britt
claims that he was attacked by Sim?
mons and that he shot in self-defence.
The wounded man, on the other hand
declares that Britt was the aggressor.
It is said that the fight was the oat
come of a grudge of long standing
which has existed between the com?
batants. The first thing the pedes?
trians knew of the trouble Brit; pull?
ed out a 38-calibre pistol and fired
once at Simmons. The bullet entered
the shoulder inflicting a flesh wonnd.

Seven Years in Bed
"Will wonders ever cease?" inquire the
friends of Mrs L Pease of Lawrence. Kan.
They knew she had been unable to leave
her bed in seven years on account of kid?
ney and liver trouble, nervous prostration
and general debility : but "Three bottles
of Electric Bitters enabled me to walk.**
she writes, uand tn three months I felt
like a new person."* Women suffering
from headache, backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, fainting and
dizzy spells will find it a priceless bless?
ing. Try it. Satisfaction is guaranteed

A SMOOTH THIEF CAPTURED.
He Had Systematically Robbed Mr. Geo.
D. Shore's Barn.
Ormy Porter, a young negro man was
captured about 7 o'clock Monday night
in the act of stealing a sack of corn
from Mr. George D. Shore's barn. A
confederate who was standing guard
while Porter was in the barn escaped.
The barn has been robbed systemati?
cally for sometime and Mr. Shore em?
ployed a watchman last week to cap?
ture the robber. On Friday night the
barn was robbed, a part of a sack of
corn being taken, early in the night
before the watchman went on duty.
Again Monday night the robber visited
the barn before the watchman arrived,
but Messrs. B. B. Shore and Screven
Doar were on the lookout and dis?
covered that the robber was in the
barn. Mr. Doar went to the barn to
take a stand near the door through
which the negro had entered, and the
other negro saw him and ran off. Be
then took the place of this outer
guard and when Porter came out
with a sack of corn he walked right
into Mr. Doar's hands, who put a
pistol in his face and kept him until
he could be turned over to the police.
Porter at one time worked for Mr.
Shore and his familiarity with the
premises enabled him to plan and suc?
cessfully carry out the systematic rob?
bery of the barn for a long time before
detection and capture. He entered
the lot by climbing the fence from an
adjoining vacant lot, and going
through the mule shed and stable, got
into the barn.
The Other Barn Thief Captured.
The negro corn thief who escaped
capture at Mr. Shore's barn on Mon?
day night when his pal, Ormy Porter
was captured, was located and also
arrested yesterday and committed
to jail. His name is Joe Brooks and
he has been a porter for the Cash
Grocery Store for quite awhile. There
was little satisfactory evidence against
Brooks but there were strong reasons
for suspecting him of complicity in
the robbery of the barn and he was
therefore arrested. When taken to jail
and confronted by Ormy Porter, he
confessed that he was the man who
was watching on the outside while
Porter was in the barn. He denies
having taken part in the previous
robberies, but so does Porter.

NEWS FROM THE*DARK CORNER.
The Honest Opinion of an Old Soldier as
to the Proposed Home.
News as usual with us is net plenti?
ful, nevertheless I will write the few
dots we have for the "Watchman and
Southron.
We have had the greatest moving
around in this neighbrohood known
for years. Two of our neighbors, Mr.
Pink Weeks and Mr. Henry McLeod,
have removed to your city's cotton
mill since my last. Henry Bartlette
has moved to Pinewood. This moving
about is a regular see-saw, all expect?
ing to better themseles, but such is the
human mind-anything for a change.
Miss Mittie Wells and Mr. Peter
Turner, of Felders, visited at Mr. W.
T. Kolb's last week.
Mr. R. P. Weeks, of Sumter visited
his sister, Mrs. W. J. Ardis, Satur?
day and Sunday the 11th and 12th
instants.
i was unable to attend the meeting
of the old Confederate Soldiers on the
6th, but I am glad my old lieutenant
(Perry Moses) was there and spoke
my sentiments in regard to the Old
Soldier's Home. After all we have
done and undergone, I think it would
be better to treat as they do old worn
out horses and dogs-put a rope
around our necks and lead us out
into the woods and shoot us to get rid
of us-instead of taking us away from
our friends and putting us in a sol?
dier's home. What think you, old
Brother Soldiers?
Please bear in mind, Mr. Editor,
that I am not receiving or asking for
a pension, so I think I have the right
to speak my mind about the Home.

The Young Men's Christian Associa?
tion of the Sumter Military Academy
met at 9 o'clock last Sunday morning
and spent half an hour in the study
of the life of Jesus. There were about
twenty of the young men present and
the singing, prayers and words spoken
showed that there is a deep feeling in
the school in favor of genuine, practi?
cal Christian religion. It is hoped
that the study of the life of the now
Perfect Man will inspire a deep love
for His character and an earnest striv?
ing after the highest ideal. Meetings
will be held at nine o'clock each Sun?
day morning, in the Chapel, and all
who are interested are cordially
invited to attend. It is the plan to I
trace the life of Jesus upon earth
from beginning to end in regular
order and thus obtain a clear, consecu?
tive grasp of His wonderful work.
Tho german given by the young
ladies complimentary to their gentle?
men friends at tho oumter Club last
night was a very delightful affair.
There were about thirty couples in at
tenance. The german was led by Dr.
W. IS. Alford and Miss L. I). Huch
erson. Refreshments of the usual
order at gern.ans were served. The
lovers of the dance enjoyed themselves
until a late hour.
Victoria, Ia., Jan. ls. As the Den?

THE WOODMEN BANQUET.
A Delightful Affair at the Hotel Sumter.
j The ann aal banquet of Hollywood
' Camp, Woodmen of the World, held
at Hotel Samter last Wednesday nisht
was a most pleasant event.
j There was a large attendance at the
banquet, consisting of the sovereigns
i and their guests.
At 8.30 o'clock, the sovereigns as?
sembled at their camp in the Masonic
Temple and a public installation of
officers was held. The impressive
ceremonies of installation were held
and the Camp snent an hoar in pleas?
ant social intercourse. At 10 o'clock
the sovereigns and their guests fell
into line and marched to Hotel Sum?
ter, where the feast was awaiting
them.
The dining room of the hotel was
tastefully decorated with evergreens
and the "ax and the stump," the
symbols of Woodcraft, were placed in
the center of the room. A large
masic box, hidden from view, dis?
coursed sweet masic daring the repast.
After the cigars had been passed,
Toast Master Murray annnonced the
toasts of the evening :
The first toast was ''Woodcraft,"
to be responded to by Rev. J. H.
Thacker, but he was unable to be
present.
Major H. Frank Wilson was the
next speaker, and his subject was
."Fraternity." Major Wilson, with
his usual grace and eloquence, made
a beautiful talk.
The next toast,- ' ' American Patriot?
ism, " was responded to by Prof. S.
H. Edmunds. He made the speech of
the evening and was frequently ap?
plauded. Prof. Edmunds spoke elo?
quently of the famous patriots of our
day. The mention of the name of
Admiral Schley brought forth loud
applause.
Col. J. M. Knight spoke on the
toast, "The Press." Col. Knight
told some very true things concerning
the press and pointed out the good
that the newspaper can accomplish if
conducted correctly.
- The last toast was,"'The Goat," to
be responded to by Dr. C. C. Brown.
Dr. Brown said it was too lat? to
make a speech and told a few jokes.
The audience was disappointed, as
Dr. Brown, always has something
good to tell.
Thus ended the banquet for 1902, and
the occasion was thoroughlv enjoved
by all.
New Year Letter From "Hagood."
Hagood, S. C., Jan. 14.-A happy
and successful New Year to you, Mr.
Editor.
"We aint ded yit, but mighty
poly" with the short crops, moderate?
ly low prices of our produce, etc. Peo?
ple make a great cry against hard
times, but they are a blessing to some.
We note that there have been fewer
casualties in the way of shooting,
cutting, etc., during these holidays
than during those of last year. A lit?
tle money turns some folks fools. I
met an old man the other day and
when I asked for news, with some
earnestness he replied "Thank the
Lord I am alive yet?" "Every good
gift and every perfect gift cometh
down from the Father of lights." A
good lady once prayed ' ' Lord, make us
as humble as we are dependent."
Everything has two sides it is said,
but many of us seem to be conscious
of only one to the year jost closed.
"What good does it do to murmur and
repine. No one wants to hear your
complaints. The world loves to look
at bright pictures. The man of mirth
will always have company, but the
"dying" will dwell alone. No use in
dying before your time comes: try to
be ready for that. Let ns be mindful
that such visitations are possibly ex?
pressions of His wrath, and mend our
ways.
We had a very quiet Christmas
around Hagood. A few folks got
"happy but they attended to their
own business.
Miss Sadie K. Barrows spent the
holidays at home.
Miss Courtenay Atkinson went to
Camden.
The di nings we attended were
splendid and made us wish that
Christmas lasted all the year.
Miss Lizzie Gilbert, a sister of Rev.
Allen A. Gilbert, is visiting her neice,
Mrs. J L. Jackson.
Some of the farmers claim that
labor is scace. Many negroes "keep?
ing books for brer rabbit," have
thrown up the job and sought work
otherwheres.
By the time the hard weather is over
oats" will be scarce. Many, that ap?
pear to be living are dead. I tried
to write this letter without naming
hard times but I have failed. They
are here, and you and I must meet
them bravely. Salvation is in "going
forward." Keep a brave front. Even
the brute despises a coward. Heroes
are the product of hard times. Some
men would have died unknown had
not great crises brought them forth.
Let every one of us be a hero this new
year, and may the Giver of all grace
"keep our hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus, Amen." Hagood.
There is undoubtedly an organized
band of chicken thieves at work in
this city, as there are almost daily re?
ports of raids on fowl houses. Those to
whom chickens are offered at suspici?
ously low prices or by suspicious char?
acters should notify the police by tele?
phone or otherwise immediately and,
thus aid them to capture the thieves.
An inspection of the water mains
on Church street has brought to light
an explanation of the deficient water
pressure in that main when Mr. H. D.
Moise's house was burned. Mr. W.
H. Epperson, who made the investi?
gation, found that some mischievous
person had removed the cap from one
of the hydrants and filled it with small
brick-bats and trash, which had work?
ed down into the valve and obstructed
the main. Whi-n the obstruction
was removed a full pressae of water
was obtained from the hydrant that
gave only a feeble stream at the fire,
although there was considerably less
water in the stand pipe when the test
was made than there was at the time
of the fire. This circumstance shows
the necessity of frequent and thorough
tests and inspections of each and every
hydrant in the city.
