Mr. Freeman Storm of Springfield Mass, a brother of Mr. J. T. Storm, of this ci?v bas arrived , and will make Sumter his future home. Mr. Storm is a skilled musician and. will t accept an engagement with the Second Regiment Band. The office, lobby and writing room at the Hotel Sumter are being repaper? ed with a handsome new design of dark red paper. Dr. W. W. Sibert has leased the store room in the new brick and stone annex to the Hotel Jackson that Mr.^ A. J. Moses will erect. Two cases were before the recorder Saturday the charges being that pf recklessly driving automobiles through the streets. One of the cases was postponed and the other offender paid a fine of $10. Quite a large crowd were out to hear the concert by the Second Regiment Band Friday. The scarcity of benches no doubt keep quite a number of people away. It seems that either some of the benches have disappeared or the crowds have grown much larger since last summer. _ City Schools. There will be two evenings this year | devoted to the closing exercises of the j class of 1905. This bas been found desirable, beean so the class this year is unusually large and using only one night would consume too much time for a single occasion. The proceeds as usual will go to the .library fund. By using these pro? ceeds yearly for library purposes a fairly good beginning has been made in securing suitable books for the ?pupils. . lt is only a beginning how ever and ten times the numb?T of books could be used to advantage. On the evenings of tbe 24tb and 25th the curtain will rise at b o'clock. As is customary the front seats will be reserved fer tee immediate fa?inlies of .the graduates; the box on the left as one enters will be reserved for the members of toe City Board of Educa- j tion and for those who have a p^ace on the program ; the box on the righi I for the members of City Council. The parents of the graduates ' will use the same cards for reserved seats on both nights. No cania will.be issued for the boxes. DEATH. An infant child of Dr. B. M. Bad? ger, of Dillon, died Friday and the ??Soiy was taken to Summerton Saturday for interment. . An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. DuKant died yesterday morning. SATURDAY NIGHT FIRE. Weeks' Meat Market and Moore's loe House Damaged. Fire was discovered about ll o'clock Saturday night in the rear of the building on East Lib? erty street occupied jointly by Sam Weeks' meat market and Moore Brother's ice house. It is thought that the fire originated on the market side of the parti? tion, but when the firemen ar? rived it was burning on both sides of the partition. For a few minutes there was every indica? tion that there would be a se? rious fire, but the firemen got to work quickly and soon had the flames under control. This was the first real fire since the Gamewell Fire Alarm System was installed, but there was no opportunity to use the alarm, the fire being almost op? posite the Delgar reel house. Thieves are Caught. Sunday at passenger depot the newsboy on the train re? ported to Officer Barwick that some one had stolen his papers. The officer began a search for the guilty party and 'in a few minutes he saw a little negro boy, Willie Lawrence, selling one of the New York papers at half the usual price. He at once took the boy in charge and discovered the papers were the ones stolen from the newsboy. Officer* Barwick, upon search? ing the boy, found on his per? son several packages of cigar? ettes, which were stolen from the store of Mr. Sinclair, on West Liberty street, on last Fri? day night. On being questioned by the officer, WilKe acknowledge that he and two other boys, Willie Fraser and Jefferson Nelson, both colored, had entered the store of Mr. Sinclair and rob? bed it. Willie was locked up and Of? ficer Barwick had but little trou? ble in finding the other two. An inspector of the postoffice de? partment is here today making an in? vestigation for the purpose of deter? mining he advisability of putting on a mail, car and clerk on the new morn? ing train from Fleronce to this city. The train has such a large passenger business that it is almost certain to be continued indefinitely on the present schedule *nd on that account it is probable that it will be made a mail train. Mr. A. J. Moses, of the Hotel Jack? son, will begin work in a few days on a stone front brick annex to the Jackson. The new building will be erected on the lot south of the hotel and will face on Main street. It will have a frontage of 25 feet and a depth of 75 feet. The first floor will contain a store in the front part and sample rooms in the rear, while on the upper floors there will be twen? ty or more bedrooms. Mr. Moses finds that he needs more room to accommodate his guests and the an? nex will be x-eady for the fall busi? ness. The Sumter Auction and Commission House is the latest new enterprise for Sumter. This city has long needed such an institution and we bespeak for those interested a bright fu? ture. They will handle any? thing that you want sold, and will have auctions every Satur? day night. Their announce? ment will appear later. The regular examination of appli? cants for certificates to teach in the public schools of the county was held Friday by Coontv Superintendent of Education S. D. Cain. The ex? amination for whites was held, in Mr. Cain's office and for negroes at the Lincoln Grad?d School. There were five whites and four negroes to stand the examination. The Sumter Machine Shops have au advertisement in thia'issue. This is o:;e of the many new enterprises re? cently established iu Sumter, and is under the management of Mr. T. II. Siddall, who is a practical mach inst and has had several years experience as manager cf large machine shops. Mr. Siddall gives bis personal atten- . tion to all orders given this company, j The Sumter Steam Laundry is now in operation and the peo? ple of Sumter should patronize it. Send no more laundry work out of town. The way to build up the city is to patronize home industry as long as the service and prices are satisfactory. It takes a man who has been absent for a few months to see the growth and improvement of Sumter. Mr. J. R. Ligon, who is just back from the Pacific Slope, where he was a sojourner for six months, is the most en? thusiastic booster for Sumter that has hit the town in many days. He is asking everybody what they have been doing to the old town to make her move s SO. Several hundred fine milch cows are shipped into this coun? ty every year from North Caro? lina and Tennessee and sold at good prices. It occurs to me that just as good cows could be profitably raised in Sumter county. I A big modern hotel with all j the modern comforts demanded I by the traveling public would be a fine thing for the city and the Court House square would be an excellent location for it. The men who have purchased tr^e square could form a company and by increasing their invest? ment sufficiently to build the hotel on the second, third and fourth floors of a business block they could increase the in? come from their property and do the city a service at the same time. An automobile line to Provi? dence Springs would increase the population and popularity of the Providence Springs sum? mer village.
