THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
PLANS ACCEPTED BY COUNTY
BOARD CF COMMISSIONERS.
Building Wqi Bc Very Handsome and
Will Cost About $70,000.
Messrs. Edwards & Walter, archi?
tects, of Columbia, came to the city on
Thursday, and met in the afternoon at
the office of Col. T. V. Walsh with the
County Board of Commissioners, a
committee selected from the local bar
and Clerk of Court L. I. Parrott for
the purpose of selecting plans for the
proposed new court house.
The plans were explained by the
architects, and were so well suited to
the taste of the joint committee and
were so ideal in design for a court
house that it was with no difficulty,
whatsoever, that an unanimous vote
was had approving and adopting the
same.
The material of which the court
house will be constructed has not been
definitely selected It is, however decid?
ed that the cost should not exceed in
amount $70,000. If a stone building
can be had at those figures, granite
will possibly be used. If not, the court
house vail be built of the very best
brick obtainable, and will be orna?
mented with stone.
The gentlemen comprising the com?
mittee are of the opinion, and they
do not hesitate in expressing the belief
that the Game Cock City is to have
the handsomest, best arranged and j
most ideally equipped court house in
the State.
COURT HAS CONVENED.
A Heavy Criminal Docket-Judge j
Gary's Charge.
The spring term of the Court of
General Sessions and Common Pleas
convened on r.Ionday at 10 cTclock.
Judge Earnest Gary is presiding. Solic?
itor Wilson is in his accustomed place,
and Mr. L-. E. Woods occupies the
place at the stenographer's table
formerly occupied by Mr. Robert
Latham.
The criminal docket is unusually
heavy, there being eight cases of hom?
icide alone for trial at this term. A
large number-of bills were turned over
to the grand jury to be acted upon.
Judge Gary's charge to the grand
jury was of particular interest. He
brought to their attention the fact
that so many citizens try to shirk their
duty as jurors, some of them going to
the extent of depriving themselves of
the right of franchise in order to dis?
qualify themselves. He thought that
was largely responsible for the heavy j
criminal docket. He said that there j
were more cases of homicide at this!
term of court than occurred in Lon- f
don, with a population greater than '
that of the entire state of South Caro- ;
i
lina during the entire past year. It j
would have been a benefit to Sumter j
i county if every citizen within her bor
j ders could have heard that charge.
Court of General Sessions yesterday
; ir.ade up for some of its lost time by
I disposing of six cases during the
j morning's session. This was accom?
plished by pleas of guilty being enter?
ed in four cases and by two remarka
j bly short trials.
j Harry Mccutcheon plead guilty to
! the charge of highway robbery and
was sentenced to serve on tue county
chain gang for one year. He is the
negro, boy who robbed an Item deliv?
ery boy.
Paul Young and Jacob Cantey both
i
admitted their guilt when arraigned
respectively for larceny of a bicycle
and entering a house with intent to
steal. They were each given a sen?
tence of one year.
Lucius Kendrick, charged with as?
sault and battery with intent to kill,
was permitted by the solicitor to enter
a plea of guilty of an assault and bat?
tery of a high and aggravating nature.
An explanation of the circumstances of
the offense was made by Mr. O. C.
Scarborough, of Summerton, and in
consequence thereof the facts that
brought about the difficulty were di?
rected to the judge's attention. Judge
Gai y must have thought the action of
j the defendant justifiable for the sen
j tence imposed was the minimum one
; prescribed by law, $10 or 30 days.
James Hunt, was convicted of priv- :
? ily stealing from the person. The jury
j was not out long before a conviction
j as to his guilt was reached. He was
i sentenced to the State penitentiary at
j hard labor for five years.
Sam Taylor was convicted of larce?
ny and sent to the county chain gang
for one year. He stole S.000 tobacco
tags from Mr. Moses Green.

HOTEL JACKSON
Leased by Messrs. Williams and Fields
For Five Years.
From The Daily Item Aurii 4.
A complete and final transfer of the
Hotel Jackson was effected today af?
ter the dinner hour. Mr. A. J. Moses,
the owner and former proprietor of
the hotel, has leased it for five years to
Messrs. W. Theo Williams and T. D.
Fields. The lease was made with the
privilege of a renewal for an additional
period of five years.
Mr. Williams was associated with
Mr. Geo. W. Loring in the manage?
ment of the Hotel Sumter, where he
proved himself both a popular and
successful hotel man.
Mr. Fields is a "knight of the grip"
and has a host of friends among "the
boys.." With two such popular young
men in charge the prospects for great
success are most auspicious.
Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea is
a wonderful spring tonic, lt drives
out all impurities. A good thing for
the whole family. Keeps you well all

THE REO WINS.
MK. T. B. JENKINS' REO DEFEATS
' MR. E. WELLS' FORD IN
CLOSE RACE.
Phenomenal Time Made Under Ad
I verse Condition-A Convincing De
i monstration of the Power and Ser?
viceableness of a Runabout-Thc
j Details.
j _
j From The Daily Item April 6.
j The automobile race that has been
I agitating the public mind for more
! than a week is over. Mr. E. A. Jenk
j ins driving a Reo Runabout of S horse
j power today defeated in a close race
ja 10 horse power Ford machine with
j Mr. Eb Wells at the steering gear.
The race was scheduled to start at
ll o'clock and the run was to be made
from Mr. John T. Green's house on
Broad street to Camden, a distance of
about 32 mifes. The Buick car in
which Mr. HoraceSHarby was station?
ed just outside of Camden was to be
the terminal of the race, and the car
reaching that point first was to be de?
clared the winner.'
An hour before the time for the race
the starting point was crowded with
i interested spectators and friends and
I supporters of the contestants. Ma
?
chines crowded with enthusiasts were
scattered along the road at various in?
tervals, and several cars went all the
way to Camden.
Dr. J. A. Mood was chosen to act
as starter. As the hands of the watch
I indicated the hour ll a report from
i
his pistol sent the two cars out upon
their long run like pigeons released
from a trap.
The Ford had the best of it for
about one mile and shot through the
air at phenomenal speed, the Reo
running about 15 or 20 yards behind, i
but was gaining perceptibly When
Mr. Wells struck the first sand bed
I
which ..was on a rather steep up-grade :
he continued to keep his machine on j
the high gear, the engine, or some part j
of the running gear failed to work j
and when the little Ileo, graceful in ?
its lines and running beautifully, pass?
ed the Ford, the fate of the race was
practically determined, and odds were
ofTered on the little green car. Mr.
Wells lost at least a full minute, some
say more, in getting his machine off
again. When seen about four miles
from the starting .point, it was running
well, and was said to be gaining on its
fleet opponent.
Mr. Jenkins said he could see the
Ford in the dim distance until he de?
scended the steep and treacherous in?
cline of Ballard's Hill, he then lost
sight of Mr. Wells' car, and sawpit no
more until the race was concluded.
When Mr. Jenkins reached the
judge's car. the watch of Mr. Horace
Harby registered I hour and 27 min?
utes from tho starling time. Mr. Wells
drew up 8 minutes later.
Considering the condition <>f the
roads, and the wind. \vhi< ii was blow- 1
ing- at a terrific rate directly in the
face of the contestants, the time made
was most excellent, and demonstrated
beyond all question t ? doubt that a
low horse powar runabout is not on'y
serviceable for city use, but is a mar?
vel for power on heavy country roads.
The race has created such gre\t in?
terest in automobile circles, that it is
likely that several more races of a
similar nature will be run in the near
future.
Mr. jenkins says that he is con?
vinced ??ow, more than ever before,
that the "Reo is Right."

DESCRIPTION t Made in all sizes, lt is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside
with a speoial quality of rubber, which sever 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 on ly been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than
an ordinary tire, the Tincture resisting qualities being given by several layers ot thin, specially
prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt
or soft roads is ovcrrorae by the prient "Sasket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being
squeezed cut between the tire and t:ic road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these
tires is ?S.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider
of onlv $%.So per pair. Ail orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval.
