The News and Courier of Charles contains the following information as to quarantine regulations es aMished by the Charleston Board of Health. "At a meeting of tb* special com? mittee of the board of ?ealrh held jes terday at noon at City Hall, it was decided to issue strict quarantine re gulations against New Orleans ano other infected ports. Every train that enters the city will be bearded by an it spector who will require of the passengers coming to this city that j they produce a certificate showing from what city they come, the certifi? cate to be signed by the health officer or some other prominent city official. Every passenger will have to prove that he or she has not been within an irfected district within ten days. The railway inspectors will be placed on all roads entering the city. One will be placed between Charleston and Yemasee, another between Charleston and Lanes, another between Charles? ton and Prognalls, another between Charleston and Branchville." The Sumter health officer will be in bis office from ll a. m. to 1 p. m. and rrom 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. Sundays in? cluded to issue certificates of health. He will also be at trains iu the after? noon ano morning as often as possible to meet trains going tu Charleston, but passengers bad better call at the Board of Health office at City Hall to be certain of securing certificates. Dr. J. C. Spann, President of thc Board cf Health has ordered the health officer to do every thing within reason to keep passengers from being inconvenienced because of the strict quarantine regulation. It is not safe to travel any where to a great distance without a certificate of health. Good Rifle Scores. The Sumter Ligbt Infantry made some verv unusual scores on tbe rifle range. The captain of this ccmpany, Capt. C. B. Yeadon, acted as major of tbe third batalion for the tirnp that the regiment was in camp, but Lieut. T. S. Doar, who was in active com? mand, was captain of the company a few years ago. He moved away from Sumter and on his return joined the company as an enlisted man and was gradually promoted to first lieutenant. Tne company is a good one and would be much helter if so many eligible men fr? m tb*t bushing city wer? not needed to make up one of the best lit? tle militia bands in the United States. Following are the scores made by the b^st shots in Compauy L: Score at 200 yard range: Fi-'it Ser gfant J. C. Warren, 5-4-45-0-21- ; Third Sergeant Ed MeCutehen, 3-5-3 3-5-19; First Corporal O. H. Pa te, 3 2- 0-0-3 9: Socond Corporal C. F. Schwerin, 5-4-5-3-4-21 : Private G. W. Bradford, 4-3-4-3-3-17; Private J. A. Yates. 3-4 0-3 0-10. Score at 300-A-a rd rance: Warren, 3 3- 3-3-2-l-l: McCuteben, 3-3-4-4-3-17: Pate. 3-3-3-3-3-15: Schwr-rir,4-3-3-4 4- IS; Bradford 3-0-3-0-4-10. Score at 500 yard range: Schwerin, 3-2-5-2-12: Warren, 3-0-2-2-2-10; Me? Cutehen, 2 5-5-2 3-17: Bradford, 2-2 1 0-5-10. The totals are: Wairen 4.")-, Me? Cutehen 53: Schwerin 51 ; Bradford 37. It will be observed that there wire several centre shots made from the 500 yard line. Pate's score is note? worthy from the fact that every time he touched the target he made a score of 3.-The State. '''John Bethea, the convict who escap- j ed from the chain gang and w JO was receutly recaptured by Deputy Sheriff J. E. Gaillard, received twenty-five lashes across his back yesterday at the plar-e where the gang is now work? ing. The whipping was well adminis? tered, and it is within the bounds of probability that John will reflect a little before undertaking a similar trip. I SUMTER WAS PROMPT. The Issuing of Health Certificates Ha? Proven a Great Convenience to Travelers. Several traveling- salesmen were talking at the depot Monday about wide-awake cities, and one of them said that Sumter was several days ahead of any other place in South Carolina in protecting the public by issuing certificates of health. Said one of them, "Last Saturday I hunt? ed around Columbia for some time to get a health certificate, as I heard that Charleston was quarantined, but I could find no one to issue me a cer? tificate. A brother traveling sales? man told me that he had secured one on Friday morning at Sumter, an i that the Sumter Board of Health had a health officer at each train to issue certificates to protect the travelers out of Sumter. He said that he had seen about fifty drummers who had certificates issued at Sumter and that they all spoke of Sumter's enterprise in getting ready so quick to issue certificates."

HING C Phone 166. Sumter, S.C. ? The wholesale merchants are feeling the effects of high and discriminative freight rates and they are handicapped by the fact that other towns in their territory enjoy better rates. The Chamber of Commerce should have a committee to go into this the matter from bottom to top and if there are discriminations against Sumter, steps should be taken to end it. That is one cf the most important duties of the Chamber of Commerce. v DR. J. H. HAYNSWORTH -:? DENTIST. 1052 N. Main Street, over Knight's Book Store. Hours 8 to 2.30 ; 3.30 to 6. Phone 210.
