Mr. Edward McCallum while on his way to Summerton Sunday morning was seriously injured by being thrown from his buggy near Pocotaligo. His horse became frightened and ran away, throwning Mr. McCallum out and breaking the buggy to pieces. Mr. McCallum veas unconscious when pick? ed up and remained so for about s half hour. At first it was feared that he had sustained very serious injuries, but today he is getting along as well as possible, and wili probably be able to be out within a day or two. The refuasl of the Postoffice Depart? ment to give this city another letter carrier is the oue thing that stands in the way of the prompt delivery of the mail. It is a physical impossibility for three carriers, working eight hours each a day, to cover the city and while they do the best they can, hav ! ing provided themselves with bicycles I at their own expense the people of I Sumter should not expect too much of them. Sumter is en t.-tied to four or j five letter carriers and in time will ' obtain fair treatment from the depart ' ment. MAYOR'S COURT. Capers Butler and his wife, Sarai), who were arrested Wednesday on a war? rant charging them with receivin and storiner liquor fnr unlawful pur? poses in violation of an ordinance of the city, were tried Thursday. They were found guilty, and Capers was sentenced to pay a fine of 820 or serve 30 days on ; the chain gang, while his wile was \ sentenced to pay 310 or to be imprison? ed 20 days. Sarah paid her fine, but Capers has not yet done so. ?J George Tindal and Dave Sanders who were arretsed for keeping a disorderly house and creating a disturbance, were adjudged not guitly. Harmon D.

Mr. Moise gave notice of appeal and the sentence was suspended. The following additional cases were tried in the Mayor's Court Thursday : Aaron Jones,* colored, disturbance of the peace and carrying brass knucks. The testimony was that Jones attacked one J. J.

Tom Jones, colored, interfering with an officer while in tho discharge of his duty. He was found guilty and required to pay a fine of S3. The suggestion that the offices of City Clerk and Recorder be combined seems to meet with practically unani? mous approval. 6'Donnell & Co. advertise the Cald? well cotton planter for which they have the exclusive agency. A large number of these planters were sold last season and those who used them are recommending them to their friends. We direct attention in this issue to the new and convincing ad. of The Sumter Dry Goods Co.
