S Gregoiy received a tele? gram Tuesday from KcckHill informing him cf the sodden death of his broth? er. Mr. Owen Gregory of the firm of Gregory Bros., Rock Hill. Mr. Greg? ory was only fifty years old and his death was wholly unexpected and con? sequently a great shock to his family and friends. Capt. P. P. Gaillard, died at Ids home at Providence shortly after noon Friday, the 26th inst, aged sixty-one years after a long and painful illness. His wife, three sons and one daugh? ter survive him. He was formerly county treasurer of Sumter, was Democratic county chair? man for several terms and was post? master of this city during Mr. Cleve? land's second term. As a boy of eighteen he entered the Confederate army as a private in Gen. Johnson Eagood's brigade and at nineteen was captain of his company. He served with conspicuous gallantry throughout the war and in peace was a st rai gb tout Democrat, trusted and loved in Sumter county. He had many friends in other parts of the State. The fanerai and interment will take place at the Episcopal Church, near Bradford Springs, at 12 o'clock tomorrow. Capt. Gaillard will not soon be for ? gotten, for he was one cf thoss strong { forceful characters that make a deep , impression upon the recollections of ! all with whom they are associated, j In speech and mauner he was often rough and brusque but no man had a kinder heart, was more generous or was truer and more loyal to his friends. He was always outspoken and candid, his friends or enemies were never left in doubt as to his sen? timents, ?nd he served his friends with the same zeal that he fought his opponents. Taken all in ail, be was a man, and a gentleman, his faults were the faults of a manly man who lived and fought in the open, and of the sort that are not easily forgotten. His friends loved bim, and his place in their affections can never be taken by another, for we shall not look upon his like again. Death of an Infant. Moultrie Eugene, the fourteen months old son of Mi. and Mrs W. Alston Brown died at 1.30 o'clock Sun? day morning of membranous croup. The funeral services were held at the family residence Monday afternoon. Prizes for Decorations. The.committee of judges to award prize3 for decorations on stores and residences made their inspection Toes day, as instructed by the commit? tee. The following awards were made: . Business houses-Block occupied by Schwartz Bros, and Sumter Grocery Co, first prize: $25: China's Drug Store, second prize, 815. Residences-Mis Ferd Levi, first prize, $15; Mrs, H. G Osteen, second prize, ?10. The last mentioned decoratiou was the work of Mr. Edmund R. Murray, and deserves especial mention owing to the fact that although he is totally blind, he designed the style of decora? tion and.did the work entirely unaided except that the different colors of ma? terial used was banded to bim as he needed them. The Florence Zouaves. One of the most pleasing features of Thursday's programme was the exhi? bition drill by the Florence Zouaves, ? company of little girls, between the ages of 6 and 13 years, commanded by Capt. Hartwell M. Ayer, editor of the Florence Times. The drill could not be given in the forenoon as was an? ticipated but was given at the ball park during the intermisssion be? tween the first and second halves of the foot ball game. Although somewhat abashed in the presence cf 2,000 people who vocifer? ously greeted their appeamce, the Zouaves gave an exbibitiou drill that was one of the best features of the entire carnival. After going through the field movements and the manual of arms in a way which elicited praise from cid tacticians, the Zouaves started upon fane}' figures, which made the militia dizzy, but the stern j command of the referee's whistle an I nounced the renewal ?f hostilities on the gridiron and the Zooaves marched off proud in the approbation of all the vast crowd. The Zouaves were costumed in at? tractive uniforms of red and white and their armament consisted of spears which were handled with mucb grace. The young ladies of Capt. Ayer?s command were : Misses Marie Barringer, Sallie Arnette Elli?, Viv? ian Newman, Lillie Wilkins, Maria Hayueswortb, Kate Williams, Roth Williamson, Louise McClennaban, Nellie Morgan. Lillian Gentry, Mamie Burch, Rosalie Dickman. Mana David, Annie McCown, Lois McCleary, Elizabeth Ayer, Nell Neely, Lucy Heap, Jessie Gregg, Anni 3 May John? son, and dainty little Myrtle; David, the flag bearer"" Attention is invited to the adertise ment of R.

About thirty days ago ao optiou was secured ou the Episcopal church property, fronting on Main, Bartlette and Harvin streets, by several gentle? men who are associated in business enterprises, and while the option has not vet been closed by the transfer of titles to the property it is certain that the purchase will be made. With in the past day or two it has been rumored that the prospective owners of this property intend to erect on it a four hundred room tourist hotel to cost approximately $250,000. Hearing this rumor and having been informed of the option at the time it was se? cured, the representative of the Daily Item called on the gentlemen most prominently mentioned in the matter today to obtain a confirmation of the current report He stated that he and his associates had secured the option because they regarded the property as very desirable and well worth the price, bnt that the purchase will be made simply as an investment. While they have plans for the utiliza- J tion of the property as yet nothing has been definitely decided ; in fact they have under consideration several plans and may carry out any one of them if it is found that one has decid? ed advantages over the others. Con? tingences may arise, on the other hand, that may cause them to discard all of the plans now under considera tion and adopt some other not now thought of. As to the tourist hotel project he said that the matter had been consid ered among the others and that they had received considerable encourage? ment from outside capitalists. Never theless the tourist hotel proposition is a matter for futur? consideration, that no plans have been made for .the j formation of a hotel compauy and that ' there now exists no grounds for the rumor that a quarter of a million dollar hotel is a certainty for Sumter in the near future. Such a hotel may be built on the Episcopal church lot, but when the plans for such an enterprise are formulated the public will be given direct and positive information. The crowd in the city Thursday was variously estimated at twenty to thirty thousand. There would have been thousands more if the railroads had made provisions to haul all who wanted to come. The Palace Extends a hearty welcome to friends strangers, visitors. Make the store your headquarters - resting place at your pleasure. This is truly an attractive place. A visit incurs no obligation to buy.

Respectfully, 1 As Others See You rh Whi:e it's true that clothes don't make the man, still they do make all of him except his hands and face during business hours-and that's covering a pretty consid? erable area. If you look as if you slept in your clothes, most people will jump at the conclusion that you|have, and you will never get to know them well enough io explain that your head is so fall of noble thoughts that vou haven't time to rn* bother with the dandruff on your shoulder. 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 inuits and Overcoats-and it's thrown in gratis with your money's worth of good cloth and honest wormanship.
