Mr. Albert Ducker Has no Trouble in Draining His Premises. Mr. Albert Ducker has solved the problem of draining a low lot in a very simple manner, and at very little expense. His lot held water after ev? ery rain and the back part of the lot was lower than the part next the street. Mr. Ducker simply dug a couple of small holes about two feet deep down to the second stratum of sand and about one foot from the clay. He then dug a small drain from the water to the hole and in fifteen min? utes the two holes had drained off over 500 gallons of water, and com? pletely drained his lot. He has tried this plan several times and in each in" stance it has proved a complete suc? cess. Mr. Ducker undertook to irri? gate his vegetable garden some time back by digging a trench from the water spigot back of his house to his garden. He had dug a hole between the house and garden for some pur? pose which he filled up when he start? ed to irrigate his garden, as the trench passed right through the hole. He let the water run from the spigot for six or seven hours but none went into his garden, and on investigation he dis? covered that all of the water had soaked into the hole he had just closed, through the soft porous earth and drained off entirely. A similar experience has been wit? nessed at the Hotel Sumter. Several large cess pools have been dug there down through the clay to a depth of eight to twelve feet, with capacities of 10,000 gallons, but these wells would overflow in spite of all that could be done. The proprietor then had dug an overflow well from one of the large wells, the overflow well not being over two feet deep. The water from the large well is almost constant? ly overflowing into the shallow over? flow well, but the shallow well has never overflowed as yet. Health Of? ficer Reardon will make experiments in a number of low lots which hold water after a rain, and he hopes also to solve the problem of overflowing cess pools by the Ducker method of drainage, lt will be well for those owning low lots to make this experi? ment as it is very little trouble and costs practically nothing.

Woodley, of Dalzell, gin? ned two bales of cotton on Monday. The cotton was picked this year, but was the remnant of last year's cn>i>. . With one gin Mr. Woodly ginned more than 900 bales during the cotton sea? son. ^ VIOLATING ORDINANCE. An Important Question to be Decid? ed by tlie Court. The case cf the City of Somtor vs. Harmon D. Moise for digging a cess pool or dry well within a half mile of the water works station, in violation of an ordinance of city of Sumter, will probably be argued dorins: this terni of the circuit court. Mr. Moise was ar? rested by health officer E. ?. Reardon, tried, convicted and fined before May? or A. B. Stuckey, and the case was appealed to the ciruit court on the grounds cf discrimination, in that the ordinance prohibits the digging of any new cess pools within a half mile of the water works station, provided how? ever that all cess pools in use prior to the enacting cf the ordinance should be permitted to remain. The case has never been reached owing to the con? gested condition cf the court dockits. But now a number of citizens desire to construct cess peel at houses already built within the half mile limit, and others are holding off from building at all until the court decides whether the health officer can enforce this ordi? nance. So the health officer has re? quested the city authorities to employ au attorney to fight the case through to a finish during the term cf court, and His Honor Judge Purdy will be requested for these who contemplate building within a half mile of the water work to hold off until this case is decided, lt is just possible that some parties have innocently violated this law already, a- very few people know just where the half mile limits extend to on all sides, and in fact the health officer in riot a few instances has had to measure distances to fina out himself. In the meantime the health officer will arrest all who put down cess pods within a half mile of the water station and prosecute them before tht Kecordt-r's court. So it is wise to find out if yen have built an;. Ci ss pools wi rh in the forbidden limits by applying to the health officer tc nwa.-ure your distance from the water 5-rarion. Plumbers and others who dig, or assist in digging cess pools within the half mile limit, will be also arrested aiong with the parties having tne cess pool put in. ONE RASCAL" EXPOSED. Thc Result of the Cotton Report Leak Investigation. Washington, Jn?v S - Secretary of Agriculture V? iho-.: t morning formallly cis-r:"^ Edv\m lr Palmes Assistant statistician, from G.-.e n ment service on the ground that hf bad furnished advance information of the ncvernmect cotton reports ro speculators and that he had mani? pulai the figures of reports for speculative purposes. The report of the investigation by the secret service show- t!*at Holmes, on at least one occacion received 873.000 from a firm of brokers, presumably for this ad-1 vance information, though the trans- ! action was disgaised as being in pay- j ment for the sale of Western mining stock which it is said, was practically wor'bless. Secretary Wilson communi? cated yesterday with the United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia, for the purpose of ascer? taining whether or net Holmes coald be pn secured, but learned that there was no statute covering his case. Tobacco Trust Buys Another. Pittsburg, July 10.- The American Tobacco Company (tobacco trust) has purchased the entire control of Wey man Bros. Tobacco Cn., the largest independent manufacturers of tobacco in the United States. The purchase price has been stated at various figures between one million five hundred thou? sand and two million. Machinery Arriving. The Smooting Iron Heater Manufact? uring Company, of Niagara Falls New York, which decided to move to Sum? ter, has received a part of their ma? chinery, and the rest will be here next week. The building is being erected. The travel to the mountains and other resorts in the up-country is heavy and increasing daily. None of the Sumter banks were caught with paper of the Independent Oil Company. Cotton is still coming on the mar? ket in considerable quantities and as long as the price remains in the neigh? borhood of ten cents it will continue to come, for there is yet a good deal of cotton on the farms. The advertisement of Schwartz Brothers is noteworthy both for the space it occupies and for the an? nouncements it contains. The special sale Will be the climax of a season of remarkable activity in giving excep? tional values. This sale will eclipse all that have preceded it and the bargains will be something to remember. The Mutual Ice Company has not yet succeeded in getting the Atlantic Coast Line to put in a side track to the factory site. Until this is done work on the buildings cannot be start? ed nor can the machinery be shipped.
