'It is estimated that between $200,
.000 and $300,000 worth of cotton is
held in Sumter territory. The local
banks are said to have a larger sum
loaned on cotton than ever before at
this season. The banks are certainly
doing their share toward helping the
-farmers to win the fight for a fair
price for cotton.
Baseball for Sumter.
Mr. Willie Bultman <s now in com?
munication with several cities of the
State and is endeavoring to o?ganize
baseball league for the approaching
season. If he is successful, he will
manage the team for Sumter, and he
will be the first manager in the league
to get his ducks Into a row.
The baseball spirit seems to be
moving the people of Sumter. The boys
are dead in earnest for a team this
summer and already they are going to
tly park for afternoon practices. Sum?
ter should be in a league, and some
?good, enterprising men should get
"behind the movement and make base

amusements in Sumter.

DEATH.
From the Daily Item March 24.
Mr. W. C. Chandler ,was stricken
with paralysis at his home on Karby
avenue a?ortt ? o'clock ch'.s mornl."!^
an i jieci TWO hours iat?r. lie nor:: - .
the ilrjrT syi?p?oins o?" the seizure wr.i
walkfnj lu his garden. Making his
way into the house he seated himself
in a chitir and told members of his
family that he was feeling extremely
unwell. A moment or two later he
fell from the chair. He was uncon?
scious from the time until death en?
sued.
Mr. Chandler has been in failing
health for several months and this
paralytic stroke was brought on by
Bright's disease, the malady from
which he was suffering.
Mr. Chandler, who was a native of
Sumter, was in his 46 th year. He
leaves a wife and large family, two
brothers, Messrs. J. M. and S. R.
Chandler, and many friends to mourn
his death. He was a substantial ci?
tizen, a sincere Christian, and upright
man. whose removal by death in his
prime is a loss to the community.
The funeral services will be held at
the cemetery at 4 o'clock tmorrow af?
ternoon.
Mr. Henry R. Thomas Found Dead in
a Field on His Farm.
From The Daily It*m March 22.
Mr. Henry R. Thomas of Wedge?
field was found dead in a field on his
farm yesterday afternoon between 6
and 7 o'clock. He left his home be?
fore noon to go over to the farm and
was, at that time, apparently in his
usual health. He did not return for
dinner and in the afternoon Mrs.
Thomas becoming alarmed by his
continued absence called the farm
hands and summoned the neighbors
to search for him. He was found ly?
ing dead in a field about a half mile
from the house, and it was evident
that he had been dead for several
hours. The body was lying beside a
log upon which he had seated himself
when seized with an attack of heart
disease. As there was no doubt
that death was due to heart disease no
inquest was deemed necessary and
none was held. The funeral services
will be held at Wedgefield tomorrow
morning.
Mr. Thomas was a native of Claredon
county and was about 62 years old.
He served one term as a member of
the State railroad commission.

DESACSSURE HAS CONFESSED, j
In a Letter to the Maa He Attempted j
to Murder He pleads for Mercy.
FNrom The Daily Item March 26.
Jim DeSaussure, the negro who so
cowardly shot down Mr. H. H". Barnes, j
because the latter had him indicted
for breaking into his store, wrote a j
most pathetic letter to the injured
man who is now slowly convalescing
in the Mood-Osteen Infirmary. Mi.
Barnes was very severely wounded
and for a time his life was despaired
of. but he is now on the road to re?
covery, and will soon be able to leave
the hospital.
Yesterday Mr. Eames received a
letter from DeSaussure, in which the
would-be murderer plead most pit?
eously for mercy. He made a clean
breast of the crime, acknowledging, it
is said, all of the details, and begged
for leniency. He promised that if the
prosecution was dropped that he J
would devote the remainder of his life .
in the service of Mr. Barnes. He said j
that he would be willing to "be chain- |
ed to his plow in the day time and at j
night he would be willing to be chain- j
ed to his bed. He seems to realize the i
enormity of his crime, and has sense
enough to be cognizant of the fact that j
his recent attempt to evade the law
by trying to effect his escape from the
Bishopville jail by striking the jailer
in the head with a rod of iron will go
against him and tend to aggravate the
already serious nature of the charge
against him. He is not so big a fool
as one would imagine.
It is beyond the power of Mr. Barnes
to now drop the prosecution, and it is
extremely doubtful if he desires to
do so. The letter will most likely be
turned over to the solicitor for use at
the trial.

HOMICIDE AT HERIOTS.
JOHN GAYLARD SHOT TO PFATH
BY GROVER >L\THIS.
V: rn fbe Daily r:<;:n Ma-rh lt.
.\ telephone message from Heriot's
news of the killing of John Gaylard
hy Grover Mathis at 9:30 o'clock last
night. The homicide occurred at the
pld Rembert place, near the cross ?
roads, where a neighborhood dance .
was being held.
The detail of the tragedy could not ?
be ascertained although diligent* ef- j
forts were made to obtain the whole |
story. It was learned that the trouble j
between the men started in the room i
i
in which the dance was in progress, j
and that after a few angry words J
Mathis left the room, going out on the |
piazza. He was followed by Gaylard, j
who renewed the quarrel. It is not !
i
known whether any blows were ;
i
passed or not, but the assertion is j
made that Mathis backed away from j
Gaylard, who kept advancing on him. J
Mathis finally drew a revolver and ?
fired one shot into Gaylard's body at ;
close range. Gaylard fell to the floor I
instantly and was dead within fifteen i
minutes.
One report is that Gaylard had a j
knife in his hand when shot and !
another is that he was unarmed. j
The difficulty grew out of a remark !
made by Mathis to a young lady whom j
Gaylard had brought to the dance. She
took offense and reported the occur?
rence to Gaylard who called Mathis to
account.
The homicide occurred in Lee coun?
ty and Mathis surrendered to Sheriff
Muldrow early this morning.
Gaylard was a young man between
25 and 30 years old and was well
known in this city as a horse trader.
He had the reputation of being of a
quarrelsome disposition. Mathis is
about 21 years old and a son of Mr.
Frank Mathis.
In the Recorder's Court.
Albert J. Cook was arrested by Of?
fleer Reardon for being drunk and dla?
orderly. He plead guilty and Record?
er Hurst imposed a fine of $3.00,
which was paid.
Officer Boykin ran in Richard Sim?
mons for disorderly conduct. He was
found guilty on Monday and sent to
the chain gang for ten days.
Ned Furman paid a fine of $2 for
public drunkenness. The arrest was
made by Officer Boykin.
The following cases were heard in
the Recorder's court yesterday:
Nat Evans and Bill Green, fighting
and disturbing the peace on Liberty
s!.reet. Guilty, $3 or six days each.
Tony Moses, oublie drunkenness and
cursing an officer. Plead guilty; $5
or ten days.
Gabriel Robinson, disturance of the
peace. Charges withdrawn by prose?
cution and case dropped on payment
of $2.00.

day passed off without an un?
pleasant incident. The- contest
was a hard fought one and every
effort ' was made by the sup?
porters of the several candidates to
bring out the largest possible vote,
and there was on this account more or
less suppressed excitement. The re?
sult was decisive and there is no room
for cavil or dispute and the nev.- mayor
and council will go into office with the
solid support of all the people of
Sumter. They represent the city from
now on and when* we hold up their
hands in their work for the city we
are working with them for the public
welfare. As pubiic servants their acts
are open to criticism, but so long as
they give their best efforts to the ser?
vice of the city fault-finding will be un?
called for and out of place. The coun?
cil should, and undoubtedly will, work
together as a unit for Sumter, and the
people should give a solid backing.
That is the only way to keep the town
going forward in the march of pro?
gress and develpoment.
The result of the primary was as
follows:

CUKES WORST CASES OF CA?
TARRH.
J. F. W. DeLorme Sells Hyomei Under
Guarantee That It Costs Nothing:
Unless it Cures.
Not until Hyomei was discovered,
had it been possible to say truthfulry
that a remedy for catarrh was
known.
Hyomei cures the worst cases of
catarrh simply by breathing the rem?
edy through the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit. Using the
treatment in this way for a few min?
utes four times a day every particle
of air taken in the air passages and
lungs is laden with germ killing and
health-giving Hyomei.
Stomach drugging often causes dis?
ordered digestion, and never makes
a permanent cure of catarrh. Hyo?
mei not only kills the germs in the
throat and nose, but pentrates to the
minutest air cells in the lungs and
enters the blood with the oxygen,
killing the catarrhal germs in the
blood.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con?
sisting of a vest-pocket inhaler and
medicine dropper, and a botle of Hy?
omei, costs only $1. If this does
not effect a complete cure, extra bot?
tles can be obtained for 50 cents.
J. F. W. DeLorme knows of many
people who have been cured of ca?
tarrh by Hyomei. He believes in it so
thoroughly himself that he offers to
refund the money in case it does not
cure.
