A carload of four Hartford Automo? biles, made by the Pope Manufactur? ing Company, and consigned to Mr. T. B. Jenkins were unloaded at the Southern freight depot Saturday morn? ing. Contrary to the general opinion, these cars are not the property of the Pope Co., but have been purchased by Mr. Jenkins; nor are they racing ma hcines, as bas been reported, but are regular stock csrs, being specially constructed for hilly and sandy coun? tries. These automobiles have been brought to Sumter for sale, and one has already been purchased by Dr. Chas. B. Geiger, of Manning, and it is Mr. Jenkins' desire to dispose of the remainder of the carload before or during the Festival. Mr. Wm.

He will remain in Sumter, until after the Festival, and will be engaged in dem? onstrating aud taking orders for his fine cars.

On Monday, the Grand Jury examin? ed the following bills: State vs. Jethro* Conyers, assault and battery with intent to kill and carrying concealed weapons. True bill. State vs. J. Ed. Anderson, murder. True bill. State vs. .Robert M. McDowell. True bill; continued. State vs. Walter W. Wheeler and Miles S. Wheeler, appeal; dismissed. A fine of $400 was paid.

True bill, In the case of the State'vs. Jethro Conyers, indicted for assault and bat? tery with intent to kill, the defend? ant was found guilty of assault and battery of a high and aggravating na? ture. Much interest bas been shown in the case of the State vs. J. Edward Anderson, indicted for murder, and the Court House wastaxed to its utmost capacity all during the pro? gress of the trial. There were four ar? guments; Mr. L. D. Jennings opened for the State, and was followed re? spectively by Messrs. I. C. Strauss and Marion Moise for the defence, and Solicitor Wilson closed at about noon today. The Judge then charged the jury, which retired fer its delib? eration. The Jury after being out only a few minutes retruued a verdict of not guilty. A light snow fall "was general throughout the upper counties of South Carolina Sunday. All wires are down between New York and the South and in consequence no market reports were received today. All press dispatches were received via Chicago and Cleveland, Ohio. The election in Sumter county was uneventful, little interest was mani? fested and the vote polled was light. The Democrats who were so en hu siastic at the primary wer?* too indif? ferent to go to the poles to cast their ballots and the returns thus far re? ceived indicate that the total vote in the county yesterday was about one half as large as the vote in the Demo? cratic primary. Edisto Rifles met Thursday night in their armory. The trip to >umter to enter the competitive drill, and thc minstrel performance wen- thoroughly discussed. Both seem to meet the approval of all t'.ic members. We sin? cerely trust tost this company which | has always been one of the leading j militaiv organizations cf the Stnte, j if they go to Sumter, will come hack j with first honors. The minstrfl ?.er- j formance will also be looked into im- j mrdiatlly. Meeting tonight at 7..'?O p. m., sharp. At this mtetii.g final ar? rangements will be made in reference to the trip to Sumter.-Orangebnrg j "ews. THREE STORES BURNED AT PINEWOOD A Serious Fire in a Flourishing Claren? don Town. Quite a serions fire occurred iu Pinewood at an early hour Fridayroorn ins, three stores being totally destroy? ed and several others damaged. A detailed statement of the loss has not been obtained, but from telegrams received the following facts are ob? tained : The fire was discovered between 4 and o o'clock ia the store of R. L. Felder. From rbis store the Sre spread to the stores of Adolphus Stack and Dr. P. M. Sall ay. These three stores and practically all of the goods they contained were destroyed. The store building and stock of goods of the Levi Mercantile Co., were consider? ably damaged. The total loss is esti? mated to have been seven to ten thousand dollars, with little insur? ance. The origin of the fire was not stated in the messages received. There has been no slump in the vot? ing for the Festival Queen. Use your little dimes before too late, for at 10 o'clock next Saturday night the polls will close. The vote still remains: Miss Marie Moise, 240: Miss Rosalie Moses, 279; Miss Jewell Burdell, 110. The Foot Ball Game. The aggreement between South Car? olina College and Washington and Lee University has b^en closed and the foot ball teams from the two colleges will meet in Sumter at the base ball 'park, on Thanksgiving day. This news is, iudeed very welcome. A game between two teams of such high standing, will necessarily be a good one, and it will be one of the best drawing cards of the Festival. Mr. Lumpkin, of S. C. College, said this morning that every student at the col? lege would spend Thanksgiving day in Sumter, and that a number of them would remain in_the city for the rest of the week. Washington and Lee University has a large body of almni in the State, who will be sure to see the game, and it is certain that Thanksgvng day will be the red letter day of the Festival. Everyone should go to the great game. The cotton receipts on this market from the opening of the season to date have been within a few bales of 28, 000. Taking into consideration the amount of cotton still in the bands of the farmers it is estimated that the receipts for the entire cotton year will exceed 40,000 bales.

Have discretion in ail things, but be sure and have plenty of it in dress. When thinking along the lines of dress, let us help you. Mere money won't buy good breeding or necessarily put style into a Suit or Overcoat. The snap and go that many an expensive garment lacks, is plainly visible in our $12, $15 and $18 Suits and Overcoats-and it's thrown in gratis with your; money's worth of good cloth and honest wormanship. coPYRionr 1904 ?*FECttneiM?R PISH?.U CO Ile I J. li L Phone 166 Sumter, S.
