Stuckey,. corner of Republican street and Harby. ave nue, each member of the club having with him or her s?me, article of utility or necessity for the kitchen, and the result was that - the culinary depart ment ?f the Doctor's domicile received a handsome addition to its equipment. The "Thirteen"- then went on an -old.-fashioned straw ride around town; .which, judging from the sounds of hilarity emanating frcm the vehicle, ^as most heartily enjoyed by the "members of the organization. They " took in" Main street in the itinerary, and here they were treated to a liberal supply of talcum powder from a well known drug store and their chariot was liberally besprinkled. ARTIF?CIAL STOME PAYEMENTS. Contract Awarded For Laying Pavements Where Greatly Fieeded. The City Council has made a con ! tract for 330 yards of artificial stone pavement which will be laid on Main street from Stubbs Bros. & Cuttino's store to the corner of Liberty, and on the South side of Liberty from the corner of Main to the postoffice. The work will be done by Contractor Stew art, of Columbia, who has had much experience ilk putting down similar pavements in Columbia. Artificial stone pavements are much better in every way than the best brick pavements and are said to be more lasting. I Mr. A. P. Vinsonj Jr., had a load of home raised watermelons in market today. They were nice .ones. The crossing at Main and Liberty streets has been' macadamized and Main street now has an unbroken macadam pavement from the railroad to Republican street.

For seats on the grand stand a small charge will be made, for the purpose of defraying the cost incurred in building?be stand. Congressman Lever states tha's the agents of the Postoffice Department will come to this county in the near future for the purpose of inspecting and laying out new rural free delivery routes. There are quite a number of petitions on file for new routes and it is probable that a majority of them will be established. Only the routes that conflict with established routes or those that do not fulfill the require ments will not be established. 'ft The-committee of arrangements for the Firemen's Tournament has posi tively determined to keep the street clear from first to last throughout the rices, and no one save the contesting teams will be allowed within the ropes. Chief of the Fire Depart ment Hood will have the active co operation of the entire police force and the streets will be kept clear if it takes fifty extra policemen to ac complish it. There will be no rush ing in and crowding the street after the teams pass, and everbody should bear this in -mind and keep on the outside of the ropes.

Greeks Renounce Allegiance to His Majesty King George.

They formally re nounced allegiance to King George and the government of Greece and took the oath o? allegiance to the United States.

Thursday evening she Female Semi nary was beseiged by a large party of Winthrop College girls. They had "failed to make connection." Col. Owens opened wide th? seminary doors and entertained them. It was a happy reminder that September is coming, when Snmter's boarding school girls will return and make the halls resound with their merry voices. It is said that last night several young men '4 walked post" for hours, wondering if they were Rip Van Winkles, if they had spent the sum mer in the Catskiils, if the toruna ment was over, if the rules were "sus pended" and if Miss So and So had returned. The Winthrop girls made a fine im pression, and they went away with souvenir catalogues of the S. M. A. and S. F. S., enthusiastic in their expressions of appreciation. * Here's to the sweet college girl! There's something like the glory and the freshness of a dream about her that no one can describe. THE TELEPHONE QUESTION, The City Council was called together Wednesday by request to consider the application of the Southern Eell Tele phone Company for a franchise to establish a telephone exchange in this city. The application was accompa nied by a numerously signed petition from citizens, requesting that the application be granted.. The matter was, however, not settled, as a full meeting of Council could not be had, owing to the absence of Alderman G. F. Epperson, and also because it was desired to have present at the meeting a representative of the Sumter Tele phone Company, to the end that there might be a full and free discussion of the whole question. It was decided to postpone consider ation of the application for the franchise until the meeting of council tonight. Old Stamps Bought.
