?...c.A TH.
Mr. T. 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 RUMORED TOURIST HOTEL.
As Yet There is Nothing Substantial in
the Reports. But lt May Be Built Af?
ter Awhile.
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.

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.
