APPRECIATTVE OFFICERS.
As Long as They Can Keep From It
They Will Never Die or Resign."
For the amount of water that fell
last Friday during the heaviest rain
which has fallen in Sumter in years,
the way'that the city has been dried
up and drained off was almost phe?
nomenal. The street drains were
over taxed and. 'Water rar over the
side walks into people's yards. But.
be it said to the credit of the good
people of Sumter, with but few ex?
ceptions, the citizens were equal \o
the emergency, and. promptly went to
work and dug drains to get the water
off into the street drains, and hun?
dreds bought barrels of lime or
smaller quantities, and went to put?
ting, ?t down. The way that citizens
of Sumter co-operated with the pub?
lic works and health departments in
getting rid of water and killing mo?
squitoes, has made Messrs. White and
Reardon vow that they will never re?
sign -cr die as long as they can get
out of doing either. When it comes to
these kind of officers, few die, and
none resign.
PROGRESS BEFNG MADE.
Prospects Are Bright For the Rail?
road Into Shiloh Section.
It is said that the Betts Lumber
Company is showing a disposition to
do their share towards turning their
lumber road into a commercial line
by extending their road across Black
River into the Shiloh and Salem sec?
tions, and then running the road in?
to Sumter from their mill about three
miles from Sumter. The Betts peo?
ple are not in the railroad business,
but are hauling lumber over their
road, and they did not want to go
into the freight and passe'nger busi?
ness at ali. but the Sumter Chamber
of Commerce, realizing the necessity
for railroad connect-'ons with the
Pudding Swamp and Sh'loh sections,
in order to save that very valuable
trade for Sumter, which is fast go
ink to smaller towns, which are
closer to those sections, and which
are putting in all around mercantile
establishments to compete with S.um
ter, entered into negotiations with the
Betts people to see what could be
done towards extending the lumber
road io :-*u;nter. on this end. and into
the Shiloh section on the other end.
The people <>f tho sections into which
thc road will be J extended, if it is
^xtvnded. are very anxious for the
line, and are willing to donate rights
;>f way and possibly take stock.
Mr. Algie Hawkins, son of Mr. W.
!\ Hawkins of Manning, met with a
painful accident at the Atlantic Coast
Line depot on Monday. He wa?
driving a pair or horses and was
waiting at the railroad crossing for a
shifting engine t*.> pass. As the <'U
gine went hy he m?'?e au effort to
cross the track, and when he was a 1
most across the eugine was suddenly
stopped with ar. undue amount of
noise. The horses became frightened
and ran away. Mr. Hawkins was
thrown from the buggy and painfully
injured. The vehicle was badly dam?
aged and the horses injured. It is
lik'idy that the railroad will be called
upon to respond in damages.

Large Club Roi! Wit!: ive Mem?
bers.
From the Daily Item June 22.
A well attended and enthusiastic
meeting of Ward 4 democrats was
held last night over Mulkey's restau?
rant, on South Harvin stree?:, to or?
ganize a ward democratic club in
compliance with instructions f^.m the
County Executive Committee to or?
ganize clubs in each ward. A tem?
porary organization was affected by
the eiect-'on of Mr. E. L Reardon as
chairman, and Mr. C. L. Thames as
secretary. After a discussion as to
the enrollment of Democratic voters
?in W/rd 4, all those present were en?
rolled as members of the club. Per?
manent officers were then elected as
::ollows: President, Mr. J. Diggs
Wilder; vice-President, Mr. J. L. Al
nut; Secretary, Mr. Thames; Member
of County Executive Committee, Mr.
1?. P. Finn, ^
By author&y of the meeting, the
resident Appointed Messrs E. L
]rteardonv C. L. Thames and W. D.
Shaw as a committee to see that every
democratic voter in Ward 4 hos his
name placed on the club roll. It was
evident from the attendance, which
was the largest of any of the Ward
organization meetings, that tho hus?
tling Democrats of Ward 4 are co?
ing- to take a very ac Live part in poli?
tics, and keep their club up to the
standard.
A motion was made and enthusi?
astically and unanimously passed, en?
dorsing Ex-Mayor George W. Dick
for the General Assembly, and the
many friends of Dr. Dick urged him
to make the race, promising him the
support of the Democrats cf Ward 4.
lu was urged that he was peculiarly
qualified for the office of legislator,
aid that he will do good work for
Sumter and Sumter county in the
legislature. Dr. Dick highly appreci?
ated the compliment paid him by the
Democrats of his ward, but as it is
feared that the will decline, a motion
was made that Dr. Dick be not al?
lowed to speak, and rn fact one en?
thusiastic supporter suggested that
th? genial doctor, be put cut of the
hall before he could off'ir ^.ly ex?
cuse for not being a candidate. Ward
4 Democratic club is going to be a
large and active club, and when the
club roll is completed it will surprise
msnv as to its size. .This club is ap
pair-entry going to be heard from *n
the coming primary for State ' and
county officers.

The coming fuel for automob^es is
said to denatured alcohol, which is
better and cheaper than gasoline.
The automobilists of Sumter ought to
organize a company to establish an
alcohol distillery in this city to man
ufac:ure their own fuel. There are
enough automobiles here to consume
the output of a good size, distillery,
and there will be an outside market
r'.>r any surplus that might be left ai?
rer the local demand is supplied. Al?
cohol can be made from corn, pota?
toes (Irish or sweet) sugar cane, and
there would be no trouble in obtain?
ing supply of raw material.
Thc Fourth of July game in Dar?
lington will be the greatest event of
tin- baseball season and Sumter
should have a big crowd in Darlington
that dry. Excursion rates will be
given by the Atlantic Coast Line and
as ai! the stores will be closed there
is no reason why a big crowd should
not go over.
Candidates for state ;mi county of?
ficers should not neglect to file their
pledges with tiie clerk of court as re?
quired hy th<- recent act of the legis?
lature. Failure to file this pledge be?
fore the opening of the county cam?
paign will disqualify the candidate so
failing.

BIG WHISKEY BILLS.
Sub-Committee Wants Matter Sent to
Legislature-Recommends Board ot*
Expert Accountants to Say ^What
Part if Any is to Be Paid.
Columbia, June 26.-The matter al?
most of sensational interest before the
dispensary investigation meeting today
was the long-:;ooked for report of the
sub-committee consisting of Messrs.
Lyon and Christensen on their sever?
al trips of investigation to the whis?
key houses of the east and west,
which have had dealings with the
State dispensary.
The report goes into the details of
the visits to the houses, and ? num?
ber of instances are pointed out of
houses selling to concerns outside the
state at lower prices than the same
stuff was sold for to the state dispen?
sary which in almost every instance
was a bigger purchase.
There are many pages of these sort
"of details, the report Anally winding
up with the recommendation to the ef?
fect that the $800,000 worth claims
now being held up be continued sus?
pended, the bills of the just claimants
along with the others, and the whole
matter referred to the next legislature
with the suggestion that that body
appoint a board of expert accountants
to canvass the various claims in de?
tail, and say what should be paid and
what not. The sub-committee argued
along this line that it could not give
the claims the searching investiga?
tion demanded as the members of the
committee were not expert account?
ants, and the committee had no au?
thority anyway to scale the claims.
The board of experts should have au?
thority to do this scaling and say
what part of the claims should be
paid or whether any of them should
be paid.
The session this morning was of lit?
tle interest otherwise. The Carolina
Glass Company had a lengthy state?
ment to submit in defense of the va?
rious things that have been insinuat?
ed against it, and after some skirm?
ishing Mr. Lyon withdrew objection
to admitting this statement, he to
have the opportunity to canvass it
through witnesses later.
Attorney G. Duncan Bellinger of?
fered an affidavit from ex-Director
Boykin as to the Lanahan incident,
but this was held over to be admitted
later.
The statement of the Carolina Glass
Company will be printed in The Rec?
ord of tomorrow afternoon. ;
Answering a question from Ex-Gov?
ernor John C. Sheppard, who wanted
t<"> know the fate of the claim of the
concern he represented in the capa?
city of an attorney, this concern not
being mentioned in the sub-commit?
tee's report, Mr. Lyon said that there
were a number of concerns the com?
mittee had discovered nothing against,
some of them which appeared to
have dealt fairly and honorably with
the state. But the sub-committee had
not been able to go to the bottom of
these matters and had decided there?
fore to recommend that all the claims
be referred oack to the legislature.
The committee spent about an hour
listening to arguments from the law?
yers about whether the sub-commit?
tee's report should be adopted.

Read What The New York Mercantile and Fi
nancial Times has to Say of the Mill
bourne Mills.
(Staff Correspondence.) .
When we glance back over the pages of history we find many im?
portant mercantile and commercial establishments which stand as
connecting links between the Philadelphia of the present and the
Philadelphia of the past, but 'there is probably none that enjoys a
more extended reputation in its special field of trade activity than
that so widely and favorably known under title of the Milbourne
Mills Company. Its long and successful career is a representative
one of the type which has carried American enterprise in commercial
pursuits to its present high standard, passing beyond all foreign
rivalry, and the near approach of the one hundred and fiftieth year of
its existence marks a new and important epoch in its long and useful
connection with the manufacturing and business interests of the
Quaker City.
It is necessary to go as far back as 1690 to start with the actual
history of the company, for it was in that year that Samuel Sellers,
emigrant, purchased from William Penn a tract of land on and ad?
joining the site of the present extensive Milbourne Mills, at Sixty
third and Market streets, on which about that time a small flour mill
was built. It was not until 1757, however, that John Sellers, first,
grandson of the original purchaser, began to improve the property
and erected a larger mill, which was later to become the great Mil?
bourne plant that it is today. In 1814 the second mill was erected by
John Sellers, second, and was operated for a period of fifty years by
John Sellers, third, as lessee and owner. Improvements were made
from time to time, and in 1885 tne property passed into the control
of the Milbourne Mills Company, of which John Sellers, fourth, be?
came the first President. i
If one takes the time and trouble to glance back over the history
of commercial and trade effort in Philadelphia he will probably find
few enterprises which can point to the unusual distinction cf having
been in continuous and successful existence for a period of practically
more than one hundred and fifty years, while at the same time the
energy and ability that have been displayed in the management of
the business during ail of these years have had the gratifying result
of steadily broadening the scope of its operations. Our purpose in
thus referring to this old and important enterprise is merely that of
particularizing it as one of the historic commercial establishments of
the Quaker City, and it is not necessary that we should attempt any
description of the modern and complete equipment of the plant nor
of the superior facilities at command for general manufacturing and
trade purposes, liven to add a word in praise of "Millbourne Flour"
would be ec]nally superfluous, as this celebrated brand already en?
joys an established reputation for its uniform excellence, purity and
wholesomeness.
Those who have been buying this flour from
us for 15 or more years wil] confirm the state?
ment as to its uniform! excellence, purity and
wholesomeness.
