The carelessness of - a nurse caused

I be knocked down by a carriage at the

stopped but made no effort to stop the
child. The little girl was knocked
down by the front wheel, but the
driver of the carriage seeing the child
I jast as she ff ll stopped the team in
time to prevent the wheel passing over
her body. The child was not serious?
ly hurt.
The Southern Colton Growers Asso?
ciation may have had tbe facts before
it to warrant the demand for 15 cents
K as the minimum price for cotton, but
' tn our opinion the cotton growers
would be satisfied with a less nrice,
and the higher the minimum price is
placed the greater indncement there is
offered to disloyal farmers to break
away from the association, plant larger
crops and depend on the association
holding np the price abov* 10 or 12
cents until they can unload their crop.
To us it seems that it would have been
wisfer to nave adhered to the demand
for ll cents as the minimum, while
exerting every influence to keep down
the acreage to aten million bale basis,
which would have rendered absolutely
certain a price of at least ll to 12
cents average for the crop. With a
.ton million bale crop the law of sup?
ply and demand will fix the price, and
it wi?l not be necessary for the farm
-ers to cany over the surplus, for there
would be JJ o surplus.
There has been no let up in the
"building: of houses in Sumter for sev?
eral years and still the demand for

MARRIED.
The marriage of Miss Jewell Bur?
dell and Mr. Willis R. Sanders, which
was celebrated in the First Methodist
church at 6 o'clock yesterday after?
noon was witnessed by an audience
that taxed the seating capacity of the
large auditorium to its utmost
capacity. The church was very pretti?
ly and tastefully decorated for the
happy occasion. The bride was at
j tended only by her maid of honor,
?Miss Theo Gregg and Mr. Manning
Brown was Mr. Sanders' best /nan.
! The ushers were Messrs. A. J. Moses,
j Jr., D. J. LaGrone, M. J. Moore and J.
D. Wilder. Jr. The marriage ceremony
?was performed by Rev. P. F. Kilgo,
pastor of the First Methodist church.

What's the matter with taking down
the unsightly signs across the side?

fully.
The men who expect to be candi?
dates for mayor had just as well be?
gin stud3'ing up on tho sewerage ques?
tion. They will be asked a lot of ques?
tions on that subject before election
day.
If Sumter has an ordinance against
throwing bananas peels on the street
why not enforce it? Better to put a lot
of people in jail or on the changang
than to have people breaking their
arms, necks, legs or backs, any of
which is likely to occur any time.
The last step in the sale of the court
house and square will soon be taken.
Senator Manning has introduced a bill |
in the Senate to authorize the county i
commissioners to make the sale and
as soon as the bill becomes a law the
deal can be closed and work on the
new court house started.
Atlanta housekeepers driven to des?
peration by the servant problem are
arranging to import German servant
girls. As usual. Atlanta is making a
dickens of a stir over the matter, as if
Atlanta was the first and only place to
import servants. Sumter has been
importing Scotch servants for more
than a year.

WHOLESALE DRUG COMPANY.
The Establishment of a Concern of
That Character Practically Assured.
Mr. L. B. Phillips, who has been
engaged until recently in the retail
drug business in Darlington, has been
in this city tor several days for the
purpose of looking over the field and
kto ascertah^ the advantages that Sum?
ter offers as a location of a wholesale
j drug house. When Mr. Phillips sold
his retail business in Darlington his
purpose was to se<*k a larger field
where he could establish a wholesale
business and one of the first places he*
had in mind was Sumter. However,
before he had closed up his business
in Darlington he received an offer to
take charge of a newly established
wholesale drug company in Wilming
ton, N. C. He went to Wilmington to
investigate the matter, and after ma?
ture consideration declined the offer,
prefering to come to this city and if
the conditions were favorable to or?
ganize a company'nere.
Mr. Phillips has been so well pleas?
ed with the conditions here and with
the reception his proposed enterprise
has met with that it is almost a cer?
tainty that within the next few days a
charter will be applied for and the
company organised with a capita!
of $25,000. Mr. Phillips himself will
take a large block of the stock and he
has aiready had offers of subscription
from Sumter men to a sufficient
amount to make him confident that by
a canvass all the stock can be placed
without difficulty.
Mr. Phillips has been engaged in the
drug business for many years, both as
a retail druggist and as a salesman for
wholesale houses. He understands
the business from bottom to top and
is capable of making the proposed en?
terprise a success. And he will show
his faith in it by investing his own
money.
Sumter is an excellent location for
a wholesale drug business and those
convinced hat ?r w. : pay from the j
tart. '
At the recent meeting of the Sumter
Ministerial Association it was decided
to discontinue the usuai "Union Ser?
vice." It was with reluctance that
this decision was reached, as alisare
desirous to receive the associations
which this union of congregations in
p-.vice to God offers. But on account
of the fact that it is no ionger possible
to accommodate the several congrega?
tions in one house of worship this de?
cision was made. It'.'ls desired that in
some way the spirit of the Union ser?
vice be maintained. T. B. Epting,
Sec. S. M. A.
The city is responsible now if the
water pressure is deficient at fires, and
the Commissioners of Public Works
will receive the cussing.
Mr. J. K. McLaurin, of Dillon, S. C.
has accepted the position at Dr. Du?
rant's Pharmacy made vacant by the
resignation of Mr. B. F. McLeod. Mr.
McLaurin comes to Sumter very iiat
; teringly recommended as a prescrip
j tion clerk. He has a diploma from the
j University College of Medicine in
j Richmond. Va., from which he grad
I aaied with first honor. Dr. Durant
j is indeed .fortunate in securing the
j services of so valuabue a young man.
