he sold advantageously it would be ad?
visable to do so for more reasons than

smallpox, after a brief illness. She
leaves seven children.
Dr. G. G. Palmer of Carterville died
at his home in that place yesterday
at 8:40 o'clock, after a brief illness.
Dr. Palmer was one of the best known
and most successful physicians of this
section of the State, his practice ex?
tending over portions of Florence,
Sumter and Darlington counties. He !
had a wide circle of friends and his
death will be generally regretted.
Miss E. Harriet Campbell, only lis?
ter of the venerable Rev. J. B. Camp?
bell, pastor of the Beaufort Methodist

Mr. A. S. Alderman 3Iet Death in Flor- ;
t
ence on Monday Night.
From the Daily Item April 3.
Mr. A. S. Alderman, yard master at
Florence, was run over and killed by
a freight train at Florence last night.
At this writing it is impossible to ob?
tain any particulars of the accident.
Mr. Alderman has been in the ser?
vice of the Atlantic Coast Line for a
number of years, and at one time had
his headquarters in Sumter. He mar?
ried Miss Maggie Bradham of this city
and they moved to Florence over a
year ago. He leaves one child.
Mr. R. W. Bradham has been wired
for and will leave for Florence this
afternoon.

, . Automobile Race.
j Next Friday an automobile race will
j be run to Camden by Messrs. T. B.
Jenkins and Eb Wells. The object
! of the race is to test the running- ca
I pacity of the cars that these gentlemen
j -will drive. Mr. Jenkins relies upon
[ his* 7-horse power Reo to defeat Mr.
i Wells in a 16-horse power Ford.
! . The announcement of the race has
j created unusual interest in automo
i -bile circles, and its probable outcome
I is a lively topic of conversation among
j those who wear gauntlets and goggles.
Magistrate's Court.
Magistrate Harby Friday heard the
j case of the State vs. Jerry Davis,
charged with committing an assault
and battery upon one Susan Johnson.
The defendant entered a plea of not
guilty and was represented by John
H. Clifton, Esq. Magistrate Harby
sat without a jury. The evidence ad- j
duced at the trial was not deemed suf?
ficient to warrant a corfviction," and the j
defendant was, therefore, discharged.
Ii there is no more cold weather j
there will be some fruit in this sec?
tion.
There will be quite a heavy criminal
docket at the approaching term of
court.
The public roads are reported to be
in very bad condition in various parts
of the county in consequence of the
continuous rains /and the heavy haul?
ing.
It is up to the incoming city council
to do something about -the signs sus- I
pended across the sidewalks, since the
old council did not find time to con?
sider the matter. I
It is reported that a citizen of the
Mannville section of Lee county, has
under consideration the construction
of a railroad from St. Charles to
Mannville or thereabouts.
The several owners of Court House
Square lots might find it profitable to
club together to erect a three or four
story hotel building with store rooms
on the first floor. No more ground
and no more roofing would be requir?
ed, and the rent of the hotel would ea?
sily pay a fair interest on the addi?
tional investment required to put up
the two or three extra stories.
It will be a good plan for the city
council to let up on street improve?
ments and devote the money available
for this purpose to patting down dur?
able pavements on the sidewalks.
There is no need in spending money
on street paving that will have to be
torn up to put down the sewerage
pipes.

HOGAN RELEASED.
j Late Saturday afternoon Magistrate
: Harby sent an order to the jail releas
: ing Eugene Hogan, Jr., from custody,
' and permitting him to go free until the
I next term of Court of General Ses
j sions. Bond was granted in the sum
j of $1,000 upon a certificate of Dr. Ar
! chie China to the effect that Mr. Zeig
I
1 1er was out of danger and on the road
! to recovery. Messrs. W. B. Boyle and
Eugene Hogan, Sr., are the bondsmen.
It is most likely that a motion for
a continuance will be made by the at?
torney for the defendant at the next
term of court on the ground that he
has not had sufficient time in which to
get ready for trial. Taking this into
consideration and the additional reason
of the condition of Mr. Zeigler, which
will hardly permit of his testifying, the
motion will likely be granted.

been able to understand, why ladies

DESCRIPTION I Made in a?? sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside
with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures
without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating
that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than
an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting" aualilics being given by several layers of thin, specially
prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt
or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being
squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these
tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to thr rider
of only I4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval.
You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.
We will allow a cash discount of <; per cent (thereby making th? price S4.55 per pair) if you send
FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement We will also send one nickel
plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal
puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knite cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned
at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination.
We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster.
Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of
these tires, you wiH find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look
finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price. We know that you will be so well pleased
that when you want a bicvele you will give us your order. We want you to send us a small trial
order at once, hence this remarkable tire offer.
