It would be a good idea to suspend . ??r a time the ordinance against the use of slung- shots, provided the small boys would agree to devote their time f^and energy to the extermination of the English sparrows. j A fire alarm system that wont . alarm: is not worth what the Sum W: ter system cost the city. It should be ; put in order, and kept so, or discon i tinned. ^k?j Deputy Sheriff J. B. Raffield, who went, to Orangeburg Thursday to get " Eugene Hogan, Jr., who, he w?s in g?; - formed by the Orangeburg sheriff, had * been arrested, has returned home. He : says that the young man who was held ' in custody did not resemble Hogan and he promptly advised that he be BB released. A park at the mill pond would be useless without a trolley line, but it '}- \ might be a good idea for the city coun? cil to acqiure title to the twenty .acres of land offered, for the trolley ^^line will be built in a few years when the growth of the city renders it a ? necessity. m Mr. J.

It can be almost definitely stated that Orangeburg will be given the re ^^^rnaining vacant place in the South ? -Carolina State League. With the ad? dition of Orangeburg:. which place al? ways puts out a good team, we will nave here in our own State one of the fastest six-cornered leagues' In the ^ south. 9& Messrs. Walters and Edwards, the j f?^^ftrehitects who were awarded the con f|l||fBact for furnishing the plans and ' ||BFspecifications for the county court house find that the job is a tremen? dous one and notwithstanding the fact that they have given these plans 9?P| precedence over all other work they find that the plans will not be ready f for delivery before the 15th of this I month.

Dispenser Windham is carrying out the order? of ths ?*ate Board and is having th request books signed by all who purchase ?iquor at the dis? pensary. Ke is using thousands of the books and turns them over to Auditor Wilder regularly as they are used. There is tiready a large accumulation of these b ks 1;; the Auditor's office, - but no ef" ri has be en made to check them up as the I?,? contemplates and requires.' Auditor Wilder has ail he can do to keep up with the routine work of his office, and has no time to give to the checking up of the re? quest books. He informed the county board of control that he had no time to give to checking up the request books unless he neglect his duties as auditor, and that he could not touch the request books, unless the county board would,provide a clerk or agree to pay the salarv of an additional clerk that he might employ to per from the work. No clerk has been em? ployed and the request books con? tinue to accumlate by the cart load. W. O. W. Fish Fry. If Holly Woood Camp No. 19, W. ! O. W. is more fortunate in one re? spect than in all others, it is that a large percentage of its membership is composed of noble souled and loyal hearted farmers from the surrounding country who are enthusiastically inter? ested in all things that pertain to its welfare. Not the least of these things is the fraternity spirit and generous hospitality that prevals the camp. At the last meeting those Woodmen residing about St. Charles and Os wego extended an invitation to the entire Camp to attend a fish fry at McLeods Mill on last Thursday even? ing. \ At the appointed time about one hundred Woodmen assembled on the scene, equipped with good appetites and anxious for the fray or fry. Fish well yesi fish for two hundred and only one hundred to eat them. Mr. L. L Parrott was there and so was one ot the best fish stews that his skill? ed hand ever prepared. Ninety-seven ingredients some say. Although Par? rott says that is not true. It was good enough to have had one hundred and ninety-seven ingredients. Fish was not all. Woodmen of the neighbor? hood brought baskets laden with good things. Well, we did have a royal time. Mingling together, spinning yarns-among them some fish stories that may not have been good for face value-but then, that isn't expected of fish stories. The chief and unans? wered question ls how many ingredi? ents were there in that stew? Such occasions as that are green spots in the lives of busy men. They should be more frequent. What's the good of keeping from him Any good things you may see, That will lift his load of labor Like Rocky Mountain Tea. -China's Drug Store. Hogers-Andrews. Oswego, May 7.-On Ivlay 2nd at high noon in the home of Mr. W. J. Andrews, father of the bride, Miss Verna leola and Mr. Will Rogers were married by the Rev. E. X. Moore. The bride wore?a beautiful white crepe de chene, over white silk, over which fell a snowy veil looped with white rose buds, and carried a bouque: of bride's roses. The parlor was tastily deco? rated in white and green. To the soft strains' of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, beautifully rendered by Miss Sallie Brown, little Gladys Andrews and little James Brown, carrying a tray of flowers, entered the parlor fol? lowed by the couple who stood on a rug of flowers beneath a horse shoe of white roses, where the two were made or e by the ceremory of the Methodist church. After the usual congratulations and loQking over the lovely presents, the party was invited to the dining room where was spread a bountiful dinner, surrounded with geautifu: flowers and vines. Later in the afternoon refreshments were served, after which the couple left amid showers of rice for a short visit to the nome of Mr. Roger's sister at McColl's. They will then be at their home in Bishopviiie. where he will re? sume his duties as chief of police. Lnc'e Marion. TAX RETURNS. There Has Been a Gratifying Increase Th the Valuation ol Real Estate. Auditor Wilder is still hard at work on the tax returns and there are still two townships to be worked up. As soon as these two townships have been completed the county board of equali? zation will be called to meet. All of the townships except one-Mayesville -show a gratifying Increase in the valuation of real estate, the increase ranging from 15 to 69 per cent, while the average increase by townships is about 40 per cent. Mayesville, the single exception, shows a decrease of 13 3-10 per cent. The banner town? ship is Manchester, which shows an increase of 69 per cent, over the last returns. When the county board of equalization completes its work, it is hoped the returns will be really and truly equalized. THE PARK PROPOSITION. j The proposition of Messrs. Marion I Mo se. W. H. Ingram and H. T. Edens I to donate twenty acres of land to the elly for use as a park ..roused no little interest in ; : mity and has been produc. : .ch inquiry and discussion. The proposition gentlemen is that they will . - acres ad? jacent to the Fir : mi i, the land lying on both sides o: - : ond. Part of the land is now under cultivation and a part is wooded. It is rolling and by proper treatment by a landscape artist could be made into a beautiful park, the centre of which would be the pond. This pond will be cleared of all stumps and trees and the dam built five feet higher than it now is with the result thut it would DC a deep and c:oar sheet of water admv i bly adopted for boating. The site of the proposed park lies within a half mile of the city limits less than a mile and a*half from city hall-and is thus within easy reach of the people of ail parts of the city. It will be* only a short drive to the park and not a long walk. In a large city a walk of a mile and a half is not considered too long for an after? noon or evening stroll; and if the park is established and made as attractive as its natural beauty renders possible, it would soon become a popular pleas? ure resort. The conditions upon which the land will be given to the city are: (1) that the city widen Liberty street which will be the principal approach to the park, and that it be converted into a smooth hard driveway; (2) that the city improve and beautify the land donated by laying off walks and drive? ways and make it a pleasure park, in fact as well as in name. Besides Liberty street there will be two other direct approaches to the park. Oakland avenue and Bartlette street will be exteneded to the park, Messrs. Moise, Ingram and Edens who own the land lying east of the park site having decided to open thse streets immediately that the city ac? cepts the donation of the land for the park on the conditions named. In close proximity to the park site, on the west and about equi-distant from the First and Second mills, both of which these gentlemen own, it is proposed to establish a county club. with a roomy and comfortable club house, surrounded by ample grounds, with golf links, tennis courts.etc. On the high rolling land, both east and west of the park site, adjacent to the park and the country club it is pro? posed to develop a suburban residence section, where those who desire may have their homes surrounded by large grounds and thus escape the crowd? ing and heat of the town. Those who make their homes there will be pro? vided with all the conveniences to be had in town, for the large power af? forded by thc two mill ponds will be developed in the near future and the electric lights will be furnished from the power station which will be almost at their back doors.

County Treasurer Lee stated Friday, in response to an inquiry, chat the to? tal amount of taxes collected for the year 1905 largely exceeded the collec? tions for 1904. The increase was not due so much to better average collec? tions but to the largely increased amount of property on the books. Above the usual percentage of taxes j were left uncollected when the books j closed on March li. The amounts col- i lected in 1904 and 1905 were $62,S75. 49 and $74.049.5S respectively-an in- 1 crease of $11,173.09 in 1905 over 1904. j The metes and bounds of the city of i Sumter are defined by a circle of which "the oourt house" is the center. Will the erection of a new court house on a new site' cause any change or confusion in the lines making the lim- j its of the city?

The Sumter County Medical Asso? ciation met last night with a full at? tendance of members. The usual rou? tine business was transacted and the special programme arranged for the meeting carried out. The only matter of general interest was the adoption of a resolution endorsing the action of the State Medical Association and many of the county associations in de? ciding the fee for all insurance exam? inations at $5. This action was taken as a result of the concerted effort of the life insurance companies to cut down the examination fees paid phy? sicians.

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-pu m ped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers o? 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 JS.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 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 fcivnd them strictly as represented. We will allowa cash discount of 5 percent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASU WITH ORDER nd enclose this advertisement.
