Ladies and gentlemen will not go to a place where they are subjected to hearing -profane language. The guard house is the only proper place for drunk and disorderly persons and every man who creates a dis? turbance or uses objectionable lan? guage in the ball park, he he a Sumter man or a visitor, should be arrested and locked up until he gets sober, j There is no use in temporizing or try? ing to deal gently and considerately with such cattle. Run 'em in in a j hurry and prevent further trouble. Dropped Dead. Peter Giles, a colored man from Lanes, applied at the office of the Penn Lumber Company for work last : week. He worked until the noon j hour and had started for his dinner, and when about 50 yards from the mill he fell to the ground. When those who saw him fall reached him he only lived a few seconds. 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. _\_ There's no gift of earth or sky.

TIONAL NATURE. i I - A Good Deal of Hot Talk-Senator Biease Renewed His Attack on Senator Manning:, Accusing Him of Inconsistency, and Quoting From I Mr. Manning"> Record in the House j and Senate. _ j Columbia, July ? -The campaign j meeting here today was divided into I two sections, and ail-day sucker and a I night matinee for Senator Tillman's j special stunt. There were some good speeches at the day sessions, particu? larly those of Senator Biease, General Tounians and Mr. John McMahon. Mr. Bleasce unmasked his battery to? day. He did not use a stiiletto, but got right out into the open and used his sledge hammer on Senator Man? ning. It is very evident that Mr. Biease 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. Biease 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 undenied. 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 coun ry action. Gen. Youmans loses none of his real eloquence with his ripening age. He made a ringing. speech and received real applause. Mr. Lyon shows that he, too. can steam up and hit out from the shoulder 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 tte former. Mr. Palmer was shot through the head, the ball entering about the eye and death ensued, at once. Thshooting occurred in the store cf 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 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 up, and then he opened fire. Palmer's pistoi 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 one of Palmer's balls striking 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 o' the 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 and will continue to give the team hearty and loyal support, but the team must play ball and "blay to win to merit this enthusiastic sup? port. If the team gets hacked and fails :o 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.

His H tte W 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 ira portant mercantile and commercial establishments which stand as :onnecting 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 :hat so widely and favorably known under title of the Milbourne Mills Company. Its long and successful career is a representative Dne 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 :onnection 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 ivas built. It was not until 1757, however, that John Sellers, first, grandson of the original purchaser, began to improve the property md erected a larger mill, which was later to become the great Mil Dourne 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 fohn Sellers, third, as lessee and owner. Improvements were made from timeto time, and in 1SS5 the property passed into the control o? the Milbourne Mills Company, of which John Sellers, fourth, be :ame the first President. If one cakes the time and trouble to glance back over the history ~)? commercial and trade effort in Philadelphia he will probably find Pew enterprises which can point to the unusual distinction of having Deen in continuous and successful existence for a period of practically nore than one hundred and fifty years, while at the same time the energy and ability that have been displayed in the management of :he business during all of these years have had the gratifying result >f steadily broadening the scope of its operations. Our purpose in :hus referring to this old and important enterprise is merely that of )articularizif)? it as one of the historic commercial establishments of :he Quaker City, and it is not necessary that we should attempt any description o: the modern and complete equipment of the plant nor )f the superior facilities at command for general manufacturing and :rade purposes. Even io acid a word in praise of "Millbourne Flour" vould be equally superfluous, as this celebrated brand already en oys an established reputation for its uniform excellence, purity and vholesomeness. Those who have been buying this flour from is for 15 or more years will eoniirm the state? ment as to ?s uniform excellence, purity and wholesomeness. NELL & COMPANY.
