Green, of the South Carolina College, has been appointed campus editor for the Columbia State. He is doing an excellent work, and his articles bsve been highly satisfac? tory to the news editor of the paper. Mr. Frederick Minbhall. of Abbe ?ille, the well known sanitary en ?neer, who has constructed quite a umber*of sewerage and water systems xor South Caroilna towns, spent Thurs? day in the city. Dr. A. B. Cannon has come to this city to practice bis profession. He Wril limit his practice to the eye, ear, *and throat. Dr. Cannon is a South ?Carolinian, a native of Walterboro, H^Qt for the past ten years ha3 prac? ticed in Florida. He has jost com? pleted a post graduate course in Bal? timore, devoting his time to the study of the diseases which he makss fa specialty. The Graded schools will be closed ^Thursday and Friday on account of ^Thanksgiving and the carnival. It is presumed that al) the stores, both large and small, will be closed on Thanksgiving day, as customary. I The proposition to extend Warren street eastward from Main seems to ?ave been lost sight of. ^ If taxes could be collected on every dog in Snmter courty the school term could be lengthened or the teachers' salary increased. If a big cotton crop is planted'next spring there will be more,pront in selling October futures than in grow? ing cotton. A Speculation in cotton futures is now ^expensive as well as risky. It costs ?5 a baie-$530 a contract-to get into the game. The report of Prof. Riggs on the Electric Light p!ant and service is merely confirmation of what everybody has believed for a long time. The corn crop of South Carolina k last year averaged ony 10.9 bushels Pper acre. A few crcp? similar to Mr. J. M. Woodley's would raise the aver? age materially. Farm land in Snmter county that sells for $25 tc S50 a" acre is return? ed for taxation at a valuation of to $10 an acre. T?ere should be son.e way to put a stop to such glaring un J?Ser valuation. j* The Civic League improvements on the Court House Square vanished almost in the twinkl?ne of an-eye Monday when the Carnival company took possession. The sale of clothing advertised to. ^day by Jospeh M. Chandler, v.*U Bpaake folks sit up arv: take notice. He ^?pecifies the goods and quotes prices that caannot fail to convince the most confirmed doubter t h st tbe cay of bargains has come. R*-ad the adver? tisement and note the prices. If the City Council should decide to adopt Prof. Riggs' suggestion and es? tablish an electric light plant at the ??water works pumping station a major? ity would gladly welcome a large increase in the number of street lights. A hundred arc ligbs would be none two few for the present needs of this city if the streets are to be well illuminated. J Sumter horses now take no more ^notice of automobiles than of bicy? cles. There is nothing like getting used to things. A few years ago all the horses and mules as well tried to get out of the road when a bicycle came along, and only a few months back the horses were frantic with fright every time an automobile made its appearance. MARRIED. ! Miss Serta Pringle aud Mr, W. C. ', Joh:.son were uuited in marriage at ! ?.?? o'clock Wednesdayafternoon at tba i home of Mrs. W. J. Pringle, tte j bride's mother, ou Kendrick srreer, j Rev. C. C. Brown, performing the j ceremony. The marriage was a quiet ! affair and was witnessed by the :aai ily and a few friends. After the cere? mony refreshments weie served before Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left for Snm merton where they will make their home. Miss Rosa Riles and Mr. Robert . Hussey were married at the Bartlette, Street Baptist Church parsonage at 9 o'clock Sunday night by Rev. F. M. Satterwhite. : DEATH. " The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P.

Moses .died last Friday about 4 o'clock, after a long illness, aged 65 years. Mr. Moses was a na? tive of this city and had lived the greater part of his life here. He is survived by a wife, one son and five daughters. From early manhood he was an en? thusiastic Mason and wasj admitted to be one of the brightest members of the craft in this section of the State. For more than a year he had been in failing health and was at times a great sufferer. For weeks there has been no hope of his recovery and the announcement of his death was no surprise. A large gathering of friends were present at the funeral services of Mr. H., Claremont Moses on Saturday af? ternoon at his la?te home on West Lib? erty streei to pay the last token of re? spect to the departed. Rabbi J. Klein conducted the ser? vices. The interment was at the Jewish cemetery after sunset. Rabbi Klein stated that while ;t is not the custom to hold funeral ser? vices on the Jewish Sabbath, he con? sented; in this instance, owing to the circumstances of the case, which ren? dered it necessary to have the funeral at 4.30 o'clock and the interment after sunset, which would not violate the law of the faith.

The Southern ' trestle at Green Swamp which was practically a new ! structure having been built only a few j months ago to replace the one burned at that time, was totally destroyed 3re.sterday at 3 o'clock a. m. by fire. It is not known exactly how the fire i originated but it is surmised that it caught from a, spark from a passing engine. The construction train was sum? moned and a large force of hands put j to work to replace the trestle. Until ' the new trestle is completed the I Southern train will be brought into j the city over the A. C. L. tracks. What will become of this country when there is no more stump light? wood lf-ft? It will be a drearly placp, especially in the early morning when there are fires to build, j A farmer who came to town with sixteen b?l9s of cotton Monday . refused to sell at 11^ the price offer? ed and calmly told the cotton buyer fae could hare the cotton for 12 cents. The farmer will store this lot and the balance of his crop until he gets his price. That looks like the farmer is in the saddle. Last year the Fall Festival commit? tee hoped to he ao?e to induce enough automobilists to participate io the races by offering large prizes to have tweuty-fiv.e cars in the parade. This year without going out of the city it ' is possible to have an automobile parade with fiftv or more cats in line. Qow is that for spending money on vehicles in a twelve months? Mr. and Mr*. J. S. Mobley. of Providence, cime to the city today and sper.f most of the morning in town. They were cn their way home, and had gone as far as Broad Street, when tip horse liiat they were driving j j took fright at the rattling of a load j i of fnrnitnre that was comine up be- | hind them. The horse dashed off ? in terror, throwing Mr. Mobley from j * tb* vehicle aud striking his brad j i against a telegraph post; Mrs. Mobley I was unable to retain her seat in the I vehicle and she was thrown to the j eround very violently. Mr. Mobley j w?s knocked unconscious by the fear ; fui blew that he sustained, and, al ! toocgh medical aid was rendered him, ; is still in a dazed condition. ! M'?. Mobley was hadley bruiser), but j otherwise was -not seriously injured; j Tbty were taken to their home by ! friends. The ladies automobile driving con? test was concluded at 4.30 o'clock, after a sensational exhibition of skil? ful handling of the high speed cars. Mrs. R. L. Wright was awarded first prize and Mrs. I. C. Strauss the sec? ond prize. Sumter Department Stores Declared Bankrupt-i). I>. Moise, Esq., Made Receiver. From Thc Daily Item Nov. 2 7.
