Jenkins from the Court of Magistrate Harby came up for hearing before His Honor, .Judg: Gary. Judge Gary affirmed the lower court and in his opinion he highly complimented the magistrate on the return that he made to the Cir? cuit Court, saying that it was extreme? ly refreshing to receive so clear and explicit a statement of facts pertain? ing to the case. He highly commend? ed Magistrate Harby for the able man? ner ifC w*hich he presented the propo? sition of law applicable to the case to the jury. Such intelligent instruction, he said, was unusual in Magistrate's courts, and it was. therefore with -some degree of pleasure that he af firmed the finding below. The^ lighting service given by the fi 'Sumter Ice, Light and? Power Compa? ny since the new machinery was in iSta?ied has left room for no com? plaints, and is so great an improve- I men? over the service formerly given j hy that company that the wonder is I *that the improvement was not made long ago. The street lights are so noticeably better than the old lights .that the difference is apparent at the /first glance. The incandescent service for indoor use is also much improved, and now that the company has the power and facilities for supplying all demands for lights the service is being .extended as rapidly as the houses can be wired. The meter system that has been established permits electric light users to pay for exactly what they get, and if i-hey use few lights their bill will be small, while where many lights are kept burning all night they pay for the luxury. The meter rates adopt? ed by the company are probably the lowest in the State with one exception. They are lower than the rates now in force in Charleston. Columbia, Ander ,son, Greenville, Spartan-burg and a number of other towns that could be mentioned, and this fact shows that the local company is not taking ad? vantage of its monopoly of the local field to charge excessive rates. The present policy of the company seems to be to give the people of Sumter good service at a reasonable price, and they will nc doubt find it the most profitable policy they could adopt in dealing with Sumter people, who are a reasonable people at all times, but at the same time they are insistent on having a square deal, good service and reasonable prices.

The death of Mrs. George Sibert at her home in Florence at 11:30 o'?iock Thursday, after an illness of three weeks, made many hearts sad in Sum? ter For more than a week the had been hovering between life and death in the relentless grasp of an ill? ness her physician pronounced neces? sarily fatal, and for days her friends had been expecting the announce? ment of her death, but with each day that she survived there sprang up a renewed hope that her life might in the end be spared. It was not to be, however, and the people of Sumter who had known and loved her from infancy now mourn her untimely death. She was the eldest daughter of Rev. C. C. Brown and was born in this city and lived here until her mar? riage a few years ago. Her bright, cheerful and cordial disposition ren ! dered her a favorite with many and ! her death makes /this old world less I bright, for she had the happy faculty ! of making it seem brighter and more cheerful to all who were associated with her. The funeral of Mrs. Helen Sibert was held at the cemetery at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends of the deceased and of her family. The services, which were conducted by Rev. Mr. Brunson, of Florence, assisted by Rev. J. D. Hug? gins, were brief and simple. There was a wealth of floral offerings from friends in this city, Florence and Tim monsville, and the new made grave was hidden with beautiful spring flowers. Mr. Eugene Stanstill Stops Runaway. Mr.^Eugene Stansill performed one of the coolest and nerviest acts on Lib? erty street Monday that has been seen in Sumter for many a day. ? pair of mules were hitched to ? wagon heav? ily loaded with scantling, and when in front of thc Mutual Ice House one of the scantllings fell between the legs of the right hand mule. The animal be?ame much alarmed and dashed down Liberty street at high speed. Mr. Stansill, who was in his buggy at the intersection of Main and Liberty streets saw the mules making frantic efforts to free themselves from the wagon. He jumped from his vehicle, leaped at the mule, catching the ani? mal around the neck, and before the team had gone more thar. 20 yards he had the frightened animals at a com? plete standstill. It was a nervy piece of work, and it was performed with wonderful skill and dexterity. Floods the body with warm, glow? ing vitality, makes the nerves strong, quickens circulation, restores natural vigor, makes you feel like or e born again. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. 35 cents.

On appeal, the lower court was affirmed in the cases against Messrs. Wells and Moise, but reversed insomuch as Mr. Cuttino, who dug the wells was con? cerned, the court holding that he was acting in the capacity of an agent and working under the direction of the persons foi whom the cess pools were made. The case of Washington Allen, a partition proceedings, was heard by I Judge Gary Thursday. The land in question was referred to five commis? sioners for valuation, and from the finding of the commissioners an ap? peal was taken. A. B. Stuckey, Esq.. represented the defendant and L. D.

Recorder Hurst held on last Friday a preliminary hearing in the case of the State vs. Henty' Holland, charged with burglary. The defendant was not represented by counsel. He was will? ing to plead guilty, but the recorder explained to tym that the offense was without the jurisdiction of the court and he therefore, committed him to jail to await trial at the next term of court. Henry Washington was arrested by Officer Boykin for depositing garbage j after 10 o'clock a. m., and in a box too large to be handled by cart drivers. He plead guilty and was fined $1.00. There were five prisoners before Recorder Hurst for trial on Monday and before they left the court room all of them deposited with the court souvenirs to commemorate the advent of their trials. Jim Winston and Aleck Wilson were arrested by Officer Owens for disor? derly conduct and cursing in Levan's pool room. They were both found guilty and paid $5.00 each.

Joe Wells was run in by Officer Ow? ens for being drunk and for carrying a concealed pistol and pistol of unlaw rul size. Recorder Hurst first im? posed a fine of $20 which he was good enough to reduce to $15. Mr. H. T. Edens was before Re? corder Hurst yesterday charged with allowing hogs to run at large within the city limits. Mr. Edens ex? plained that he was cognizant of the ordinance under which he was being tried, but stated that it had always been his opinion that the portion of his premises on Broad street where he kept his hogs was without the limits of the city, anil that as soon as he was made satisfied that such was not the ease he had the hogs removed to his farm in the country. Under the cir? cumstances Recorder Hurst dismissed the case. When Yeti G? On Your V&c&iion You want to look your best, don't you ? You want to be as comfortable as possible, also.

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 cr twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Kolding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on "asphalt or soft roads is overcome bv 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 arc making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.So per pair. Ali orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You db not pay a cent until von have examined and found them strictly as represented.
