! but nevertheless his death was un
j expected and was a great shock to
his friends in this city, who had not
heard of his recent illness. He had
been in failing health for more than
a.year and early in the spring remov?
ed to Asheville in hope that the
change of climate and the treatment
of a specialist would restore him to
health. The hope was futile, howev?
er, and the inevitable end came
Tue day,
John Marion Knight was born in
Chesterfield county November IS,
1866, and was the son of A. H. and
Mary J. Knight. His parents moved
to Bennettsville when he was quite
young and be grew to manhood 'in
that place. He attended the Ben?
nettsville Academy and then served
an apprenticeship iny the office of the
Marlboro Planter, where he learned
the printing business. He subse?
quently attended the South Carolina
College for two years, 1SS4-86. He
taught schol at Conway, Jordan,
Clarendon county, and other places.
In 1895 he came to Sumter and in
partnership with his brother, A. W.
Knight, bought the Sumter Herald
from Mr. S. A"! Nettles. A few years
later he bought out A. W. Knight and
continued as editor and proprietor un?
til the business was consolidated with
that of the Freeman Publishing
Company in January of this year.
CoL Knight was a prominent
Knight of Pythias, having served as
'Grand Chancellor of the State. He
was popular in this city and county
and:^served for several years as coun
\,ae was twice married, his second
wife surviving him. One daughter by
the first and two daughters by the
second marriage stfrvive him.
Sumter county should give Manning
18,000 ventes next Tuesday.
The Supervisor of Registration
will be at Mayesville on Sept. 22.
Every democrat in Sumter county
should go to the polls on Tuesday and
vote for Manning for Governor.
An Honest Confession.
The? Florence Times and the Sumter
Item stand today as proofs tbat there
are exceptions to rules. Tb ey have
touched the dispensary-at long ta??,
it must be admitted-yet remained
clean. They have not approached
the state of an "organ" : they have
supported dispensary candidates and
argued that a purified system is possi?
ble, but there has been no resort to
unfairness, or trickery, or untruth.
All honor to them *or such honorable
record.-The Stat"-.
R. I. Manning is a better man for
Governor than Ansel and the demo?
crats of his home county should do ?
their full part toward electing him.
Letter to Bultman Brothers.
Sumter, S. C.
Dear Sir: How did you get your bus?
iness? we'll tell you how we got ours.
You sell shoes, we make paint; per?
haps we can dc a good torn to our?
selves, you and we, by swapping expe?
riences.
We began 152 years aeo in a little
sb op a few-minutes walk from where
we are now ; a great many things have
happened, we don't remember them
all. We made as good paint as we
could and we learned to make better.
We are the oldest now: we don't know
whether we had any teacher or not ;
it's so long ago; if we had, he's gone
j arid forgotten. We should have been
j forgotten, if we hadn't made good
j paint and friends.
You buy your shoes; we have an ad?
vantage in that; if you make a mis?
take, yon can't stop it quick; if you
make a bit, you can push it quick.
We've had to go slow; it's hard to
pick out one's own mistakes, and
nothing but fun to correct the mis?
take of others.
You kuow where to go for leather
that keeps its shapes, feels good, looss
new, and wears a long time. What a
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making one's customers comfortable !
? We also have a unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it. We make a
strong paint that takes less gallons,
saves half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather of
yours for wear. It is all paint and the
strongest of paint. Paint is usually
adulterated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint ! one gallon is better than two,
if it has the stuff in it.
Yours truly.

MAY TEST RAILROAD RATE LAW
It Has Been Intimated to the Su?
preme Court That the Railroads
May Attack the Recent Act o?
Congress.
Washington, Aug. 29.-It, has been
intimated to the United States Su?
preme Court that a test case of the
railroad rate law will be submitted
in the spring of next year, after the
adjournment of Congress. This state?
ment is made upon good authority
and despite the assertion that the
railroads of this country intend to
comply cheerfully^with the provisions
of the Hepburn law and net indulge
in captious opposition. At the re?
cent meeting held in Atlantic City,
which was attended by counsel rep?
resenting the leading railroad inter?
ests of the United States, it was
agreed that with a view of lulling
the public into security and trustful?
ness it should be scattered broadcast
over the land that the railroads would
take their medicine as it had been
administered to them by Congress
during the session which ended June
30, 1906. Attention was called to the
fact that this legislation had been
drafted practically by the railroads
themselves and loopholes had design?
edly been left for future consider?
ation and there would be no let-up
on the part of the railroad interests
with a view of testing the constitu?
tionality of the statute enacted in
deference to public opinion. An un?
derstanding was reached that it
would not be wise to bring a test case
before the United States Supreme
Court while Congress was m session
this winter, but action H this kind
should be deferred until after the 4th
of March, 1907, when ths short ses?
sion of the Fifty-ninth Congress
would close. Meanwhile counsel for
the railroad corporations could give
their time and attention to rhe prep?
aration of a test case ba ie i upon ex?
perience derived from the effects of
the railroad rate law which went into
effect today. This would give at least
six months for observations of ,the
practical workings of the new law
and enable counsel for the railroads
to fortify and strengthen themselves
before going before the Court of last
resort in this country. It will be re?
called that the time the Hepburn
Act was placed upon the statute
books the comment was generally
made that it had been licked into
shape by friends of the great railroad
interests of the United States and
care had been taken to see that their
interests had been properly safeguar?
ded. Amendments were tacked on
and language changed with a view to
muddling and perplexing the public
to such an extent that it would take
a Philadelphia lawyer to comprehend
what real benefit would be derived
from the new legislation.
Following out this line of cam?
paign, attorneys for the leading rail?
road corporations o'.' this country are
practically unanimous in the belief
! that they have tangled up railroad
j rates to such an extent that they will
be justfied in going before the United
States Supreme Court for a settle?
ment of the many perplexing situa?
tions which they will foster with a
view of getting the best of the pub?
lic. There is no question of their
ability to do this with the material
they now have on hand and which
they expect to increase before their
case is finally made up for submis?
sion to the august tribunal which
meets in the Capitol at Washington.
Xo disposition was manifested to
have the proposed test case come be
fore the Supreme Court early in the
term which will begin October 8th,
1906. and it was pointtd out that if
such a step was taken and a decision
rendered while Congress was in ses?
sion an opportunity would be given
for even more drastic legislation than
that which was the outcome of
the recent agitation by the law?
makers of the nation. Action must
be delayed by every possible means,
and a confiding public induced to
believe that the railroads were per?
fectly content with what had been
done by Congress and would grace?
fully accept the inevitable result.
Consequently, a line of policy in
keeping -with this understanding was
carefully mapped out, and the widest
publicity scattered broadcast with a
view to hoodwinking all who might
show a tendency to make trouble for
the railroads. "Fool the people all
j you can" said one of the railroad at?
torneys during the progress of the
Atlantic City conference, "but in the
meanwhile don't let us fool each
Other. By sticking together we can
overcome any evils now existing, or
which may be created by the Hep?
burn Act and it is well to bear in
mind that our friends at Washington
will see that our interests are pro?
tected."
This is the keynote to the cam?
paign for railroad education which is
to be foisted upon th? American peo?
ple by their dear friends, the rail?
road magnates, whose sole aim is to
get the dollars which the people will
be compelled to pay for freight and
transportation facilities. There will
};.. no Lick of energy on the part of
he attorneys for the l.itr corporation's
H the preparation of a cr.se which I
will successfully run tne gauniiet of i
the United States Supreme Court,
without any danger of interference
by Congress at its approaching ses?
sion, which will begin the first Mon?
day in December. This statement was
made with great gusto at a convivial
gathering recently of congenial
spirits.
