P-.ter Giles, a colored man from Lanes, applied at the office of the Penn Lumber Company for work last week.

Coroner Flowers was notified and went immediately to hold an inquest. After examining a few witnesses and hearing the state? ment of the physicians it was decided that an inquest was unnecessary, as the deceased came to his death from natural causes-probably heart dis? ease.

July [i.-The campaign j meeting here today was divided into j two sections, and ail-day sucker and a I night matinee for Senator Tillman's special stunt. There were some good speeches at the day sessions, particu? larly those of Senator Blease. General Youmans and Mr. John McMahon. Mr. Bleasce unmasked his batten,* to? day. He did not use a stilletto. but got right out into the open and used j his sledge hammer on Senator Man? ning. It is very evident that Mr. Blease has gotten out his sledge ham mer for use on Mr. Manning, as he wielded it evidently against Mr. Man? ning, no doubt counting him as worthy meat. One of the slaps that Mr. Blease directed against Mr. Man? ning was that the backbone of the Raysor-Manning dispensary- bill came from the workshop of Senator. Till? man and that it came typewritten from Senator Tillman to the dispen? sary caucus. This was the statement yet unc.enied. Senator Manning took a turn out of Mr. Martin F. Ansel by asking him wherein was his consistency in deny ing the option of hgh license when he favored each county acting for itself when he was so insistent in advocating county action. Gen. Youmans loses none of his real eloquence with his ripening age. He made 2. ringing. speech and received real applause. Mr. Lyon shows that he, too. can steam up and hit out from, the shoaider when so inclined, and he did so today. HOMICIDE EV ORANGEBURG. Orangeburg. July 9.-There ,was a shooting affair here, this afternoon be? tween Jefferson M. Way and John D. Palmer and the latter was shot dead by the former. Mr. Palmer was shot through the head, the ball entering about the eye and death ensued at once. The shooting occurred in the store of Mr. Way,, just across Market street, ~.r m the postoffice. The report is that Palmer went to Way's store and they . a talk. Later Palmer returned to the store and the report is that he . ed fire on Way. The latter ran behind his counter and grabbed his pistol which he is said to have always kept hung hp, and then he opened .ire. Palmer's pistol is said to have been emptied when it was found ly? ing beside his body on the store floor. Way is said to have shot four times. Way's hand was hurt from splinters from o:ie of Palmer's halls sirikmg the store counter. It is said that the difficulty grew out of Way's objections to attentions that Palmer was paying to a grown daugh? ter of fae former. Palmer is said to have been drinking. Way is a man over 50 years old. while Palmer was about 30 years old. Sheriff Dukes arrested Way a short time after the shooting and he is now in custody.-The State. The Sumter baseball team has no grounds for complaint that they have not received proper support. Sumter has been back of the home team to a man anl will continue to give the team hearty and loyal support, but the team must play bail and *blay to win to merit this enthusiastic sup? port. IL the team, gets hacked and fails to play with vim and determina? tion, even though defeated a few times, the public will lose interest and the support heretofore given will be withdrawn.

Dargan Replies to Prof. Langtry's Article on '"High Schools in Sumter County/' Editor Item: My attention has been called to an article appearing in your columns from the pen of Prof. Harold Langtry. It is a good article, and I have en? joyed reading it. as I have enjoyed Prof. Langtry's conversations along the same lines. He did not sign his name from modesty and I mention it to. give credit for merit where it is due. He points out in a philosophic way the effects of the natural divisions of the country on school problem now presented tc the people here for solu? tion. And it is a fact that the divis? ion caused by the '"Hills of Sautee" has worked almost as completely on society as the Grampian Hills of Scotland: wrought the people there into Highlanders and Lowlanders and brought about the conflicts of centu? ries between those equally meritori? ous clans. Birt modern day tenden cies and forces are removing all bar? riers of this kind. The etymology of the word river alone survives to re? mind of the divisions once made by small water courses. But boats and bridges have removed the river-bar? riers and made possible the union of peoples residing on opposite banks so, too, are mountains tunnelled and oceans crossed and isthmuses cut that men may come together to their mu? tual help. The facilities of communi? cation and transportation of present day life make old time natural bar? riers against co-operation pass away. So must it be here, we believe. Besides, as I have told Prof. Lang? try, I think my past life here pecu? liarly fits me to become instrumental in effecting a union of the peoples of the hills and the plains, because I long worked in intimate relation with both peoples and formed personal attach? ments in both sections that it would be very hard to dissolve. I h^ve never for one moment thought of having the schools around here closed by the force of a law on our statute books. If they ever all come together under my work, it- will certainly have to be by the force of laws written on their hearts. Xot for any consideration would I consent to compulsory at? tendance upon my school. The three little schools which united to form the General Sumter Memorial Academy, last year, did so voluntarily and the two in the district that did not come into the arrangement were not look? ed upon nor treated as offensive ri? vals; but with every possible courte? sy that would indicate friendliness and good will toward thom and I am happy to report that every courtesy extended was met with a hearty re? sponsiveness by the teachers in each one. Ey Professor Langtry himself with marked cordiality always. So much has he done for good feeling between the schools that we up here regret almost as much as his friends down there his leaving in the near future. He has done a thoroughly good work since he has been among the people there and it is a misfortune to us all for him to go just at this time. I do. hope to see all the schools here united some day for the good of all. I have returned to this section of the State after an absence of a few years, with the most deeply seated purpose to make my life a blessing as far as my small abilities will enable me-to bring friendships and not en? mities among neighbors, co-operation and not conflicts and progress along ail the lines of life that lead to high? er and better things and no doubts disturb me as to ultimate success.

Phone 166 Sumter, S. C. 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 fieid 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, cn 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 1S14 the second mill was erected by John Sellers, second, and was operated for a period of fifty years by Joh^ Seller's, third, as lessee and owner. Improvements were made from timeto time, and in 1885 the property passed into the control of the Milbourne Mills Company, of which John Sellers, fourth, be? came the first President. 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 of 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 all 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. Kven to add a word in praise of "Millbourne Flour" would be equally 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 will con iii m the state? ment as to its uniform excellence., purity and wholesomeness. JJUI^U ? COMPANY,
