Magistrate Harby Commended.
On Thursday afternoon the appeal
?case of Keith rs. 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.

DEATH.
Died at Wedgefield April 23, Mar?
gie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.
Dempsey Kolb" aged 2 years and 10
days.
Louise^Brunson. infant daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. S. Beaty, nf George
town, S. C., died at the residence of
Mr. D. W. Cuttino Friday night at 12
o'clock. Mrs. Beaty is the sister cf the
late Mr. Dozier Cuttino.
Death of Mrs. Sibert.
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.

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

posed a fine of $20 which he was good
enough to reduce to $15.

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.

DESCRIPTION* Made in all 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 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.
We wiil allowa ctish discount of 5 percent (th< rcby making the price T>5 per pair) if vou send
