A Large Attendance at Church to Pay the Last Tribute of Respect to a Worthy Citizen. Thursday at ll o'clock a large, rep? resentation of the people of Sumter gathered at the First Methodist Church to pay a last tribute of respect to the late Col. John M. Knight. The body was accompanied to the church, and thence to the cemetery by an es? cort of Game Cock Lodge, No. 17, K. of P., ever which lodge he once pre? sided as its chancellor commander and and later became grand chancellor of the State. The escort was headed by Acting Inner Guard R. D. Epps with a drawn sword, and a large body of Knights followed, each wearing a jswel or th'? order and a sprig of myr? tle. At the church the services were con? ducted by the pastor, Rev. P. F. Kil go. In compliance with a request of the lamented Mr. Knight, the ser? vices were made particularly brief and simple. The Knights of Pythias then escort? ed the remains of their deceased brother to the cemetery. y Grand Prelate L. S. Mattison read the Pythian burial service, and at its conclusion each Knight present drop? ped the sprig of myrtle that he wore into the grave. The pallbearers were: Messrs. H. H. Littrell, H. Lee Scarborough, Bar tow Walsh, Fleury G. Hill, George L. Kicker and G. A. Lemmon. Many beautiful floral tributes were placed upon the grave, a number of them being sent by friends of Col. Knight frcm all portions of the State. In the Recorder's Court. Thursday was a busy day for Record? er Hurst. He had a number of cases to try, but managed to dispose of them by noon. William DeLorme was arrested by Officer Clyde for molesting Clyde Easterling and for disorderly conduct. He was found guilty and required to pay a fine of $5. Reese James was caught and tried for storing whiskey for sale. Officers Barwick, Owens, Weeks and Grady were responsible for his arrest. His guilt was thoroughly established, and the sentence that the Court imposed was $30 or 30 days. Louis Preston could not successfully avoid Officer McKagen, who is on the lookout for commutation tax delin? quents. The^defendani was placed on trial on Thursday and was required to pay a fiue of S3 or go on the gang : for six days. Joe Dingle, for disorderly conduct and interfering with a police officer, was fined 85. The arrest was made by Officer Pierson. The same officer pulled Tom John? son fur wife-beating. Recorder Horst has no sympathy for this class of men. He disposed of the case by finding the defendant 810, in default of the pay? ment he must go to the gang for twenty days. Quite a full docket occupied the Recorder on Monday. Public drunk? enness was in general the charge; and the plea of guilty generally en? ded the trial. Occasional variations of the charge were cursing and re? sisting arrest, and then the dollars and days would vary. too. On the variety stage of crime was Gabriel Fraser, colored, charged with stealing five dollars from Frank Ed? munds, of the same hue. The evi? dence was circumstantial but convin? cing and a fine of twenty do1 lars or a term of thirty days, brought forth the money, reimbursed Edmunds and let Fraser loose on the world-and glad to get there, too. Late Monday afternoon the jury handed in a verdict of not guilty in the case of Nathan Wilson, accused of obtaining money from .Father McNeal under false pretenses by means of a fraudulent note. Nathan had carried a note to Father McNeal on July 31. purporting to be from Mrs. O'Donnel and had procured three dollars with it. There was no doubt as to Na? than's identity and no moral doubt as to his guilt. Indeed, individually the persons expressed themselves as cer? tain of it. But as the charge was of procuring money under false pre? tences by means of a fraudulent pa? per, he had to be acquitted, since Fa? ther McNeal was not able to testify, nor could any evidence be brought forward to show that the paper had n<>t been genuine. Considering these points and the fact that Nathan had already been in jail some weeks wait? ing trial, the jury brought in the re? leasing verdict. Only two casos were brought up f->r the Recorder's judgment Tuesday. The first was John Ly mond, colored, charged with assault and battery of I his wife. He plead guilty and was given ten dollars or twenty days. The other was thai of a negro boy charged with rocking the Camdon ex? cursion train on the fourth. The question was simply one of identity in the dark, and giving him the bene? fit of the doubt, the court acquitted him. Young Indies should, be most par- J ticular about their looks.

Plant of Sumter Lumber Company Destroyed and a Million Feet of Lumber Burned-Other Houses Consumed By Flames. From the Daily Item Sept. 10. The most destructive fire since the burning of the Epperson. Stable some years ago. broke out Sunday in the plant of the Sumter Lumber Com? pany. It is not known how the fire started and it spread so rapidly that there is some /doubt as to where the flam.es were first seen. However, it is supposed that a match or cigarette was dropped in or near the planing mill building. When the fire was dis dovered the lumber plant was already a mass of flames and the fire bej'ond control. This was about five o'clock in the afternoon. It continued to make headway in spite of the splen? did work of the fire companies, until ten o'clock at night. From then on, the fire was under control, but the reel companies had to stay on watch all night and did not get in until five o'clock this morning. Besides the .three main buildings of the lumber company, one belonging to the Witherspoon Brothers & Co., coffin factory and partly used by them as a warehouse, was destroyed with a large line of stock ready for ship? ment^ On the track in the lumber yard, were a number of box cars, and all of these were saved by Agent Cooper and Road Master Bruner. ex? cept ?ve that could1 not be moved in time. \ The store and home occupied by Mr. G. Ed. Richardson, and belonging to Mrs. R. V. Richardson, was com? pletely destroyed, while Mr. Rich? ardson's marble shop, though next door to the burning lumber yard, es? caped with only a slight scorching. Fou; small houses in Ricker's Hun? dred were burned and one was pulled down to save the rest of the block, These small tenements belonged to Mrs. Lucius B. Durant and were pret? ty well covered by insurance with the Citizens Insurance Agency of this city. The residence of the . Misses Richardson were also burned; and ihis fills out the list. The heaviest loser was the Sumter Lumber Company. Their insurance, al? so with the Citizens Insurance Agency was only twenty-one thousand. Their loss, including three large buildings, with all machinery and equipments and the yard, with more than a mil? lion feet of lumber on it. will probably aggregate $$0.000. though Superin? tendent Jackson will not give out even an estimate until he can go through his books. The lumber firm will be re? sponsible for three of the five cars lost, as they had not been unloaded. The other two had airead}7 been billed out loaded with dresed timbers so this loss will fall on the At? lantic Coast Line. The loss of the coffin factory was about one thousand dollars.. This was merely in stored stock and was uninsured.. Mrs. Richardson had her two houses insured, but for an amount not exceeding four hundred dollars. Her property is valued at three thousand. The Misses Richardson, too, lost out of all proportion -to their insurance. Their home was worth a thousand dollars, and the insurance will only cover three hundred of th>s. As stated above, the two companies of fire-fighters did all that was ex? pected of them, which was much, but they were handicaped in several re? spects. The rapid spreaj cf the iire was,to be expected with such inflam? mable material to feed on; but when the teams arrived it was cn?y by using the hose of the coffin factory and lum? ber compnay that enough reach could be had to turn on two rtpeams of water. The pressure is weak in that end of town and the f?ow not good; while to crown their distress, when? ever a train came by, water connec? tion had to be cut off and the hose re? moved from the track to let it pass. Sonr?e talk is going about of the coun? cil's purchasing an engine in the near future. More probably, however, some hundred additional feet of hose will be purchased, so that what pow? er is here can be utilized. CITY SCHOOLS. The city schools will re-open on Monday, the 17th. The superintend? ent will be in bis office on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week to examine ?nd classify new pupils.

ANSEL. LYON' AND SULLIVAN .WIN BY BIG MAJORITIES. The Vote Yesterday Was Lighter Than In First Primary-Fully Two Thirds of Vote Reported. The following summary of the sec? ond primary is made up from the re? port :n the News and Courier: As was exoected, Ansel and Lyon swep. the State. The air was full of talk about changing votes, but the people of the State understood the issue and the forces were arrayed sharply and cleanly. The figures in? dicate that the work of neither can? didate had any marked effect after, the first primary. Two weeks ago the whole vo.te cast was 96.691. The News and Courier's estimate is that yesterday's vote will fail short of it about 15 per cent., so that the aggregate will prove to be in the neighborhood of S3,OOO. With 66.941 reported, about 16.000 are left to i be heard from. They cannot change the result and the reasons are plentiful to suppose that the ad? ditional votes will show about pro? portionate increases for Ansel. Lyon and Sullivan as were shown last night. Possibly more of Mr. Ansel's coun? try, in Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson counties, is to be heard from than of the territory conceded to Mr. Manning. Already Mr. Lyon's majority amounts to 13.3.95; it will soar to 15.000 by tomorrow night. As to the General Assembly, the second primary does not appear to have materially changed the situa? tion. Rogers, dispensar}-, has been elected Senator from the prohibition county of Marlboro, Crouch, anti dispensary, and ' by the way, a par? ticularly well equipped young man, is elected Senator from Saluda. Mr. D. A. Spivey was re-elected to the House in Korry. The dispensary has ob? tained its most notable victory in York, where three of the four repre? sentatives are dispensary men. Op? ponents of the dispensary have elected White to the House in Greenwood. In Clarendon the race between Rich? ardson, dispensary, and Appelt, local option, is very close. , The Recorded Vote.

Oconee, Pickens, Greenville and Spartanburg counties received the heaviest rainfall with amounts ranging from about one inch to nearly two inches. Over the rest of the State the weekly amounts were generally less than half an inch. The deficiency in precipitation was a favorable feature of the week's weather. The mean temperature for the week was about normal in the west? ern and central portions, and it was about one degree above normal in the eastern portion. The day tempera? tures were high, as a rule, while the nights were cool during the last three days. The temperature for the week Hinged from a minimum of 59 de? grees at Greenville on the 8th to a maximum of 96 degrees at Bowman on the 4th. These temperatures were quite favorable. Light northeasterly winds pre? vailed during most of the week. There was ample sunshine in all parts of the State. Death of Mrs. Nannie Kelly. Bishopville. S. C..

DANCE AT STATEBURG. Neighborhood Dancing Club Closes the Summer Season With Charming German. Wedgefield, S. C., Sept. 10.-Last Thursday evening the summer season was closed by the Stateburg Dancing Club with the prettiest german of the year. Mr. Scriven Moore had turned his beautiful home over to the Club on this occasion, thus affording a fine setting t> the decorations of smilax, evergreens and flowers lavishly brought together. The front rooms thrown into one ' by massive folding doors made ? good dancing hall; while punch was served in a pavilion on thc porch all lit up with Japanese candles. The earlier part of the evening was taken up with round dances, but after supper the crowning success was the German. This was led by Dr. Matt S. Moore and Miss Jennie Boykin. The couples were as follows: Miss Emma Barnwell with Mr, John B. Ryan. Jr.. Miss Betsy Boykin with Mr. Richard Richardson, Miss Mat? tie Flud with Mr. Guy Nelson, Miss Sadie Flud with Mr. F.

An old man who sells produce in the towns near Lowell, Mass., has his share of the best kind of wit-the un? expected. Not long ago, according to a writer in the Lowell Citizen, he de? livered a pair of dressed chickens to one of his customers. She was in the kitchen when he brought them in and, womanlike, shivered a little when she saw the headless fowls. "I should think you'd simply hate to cut off the heads of those inno? cent chickens!" she exclaimed invol? untarily. "I do." replied the old man, "and so I never do it. I manage to get around it." "How?" the housewife demanded, with eager interest. "The heads of these chickens are gone." "Oh. yes," said the old man cheer? fully, "I chopped the chickens off." Letter to Cash Grocery Company. Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir: If you could get the ex? clusive sale of a sweeter sugar for five miles round-}?b as sweet as a pound of usua.'. sugar, and cost no more you'd jump at it, would't you? There wouldn't be 100 lbs of any other sugar sold in a year in your town: you'd gobble the trade: and it wouldn't; hurt your whole business. Devoe is like* that among paints: it is twice as sweet as some; it is sweet? er than any: not one exception; one gallon is two or one-and-a-half or one and-th ree-q carters. Better than that : paint has to be painted; that costs S2 to SI a gallon. A gallon saved is -S'2 to S4 saved in la? bor, besides the paint. Eren that isu't all. A gallon Devoe put-on wears as long as two gallons pur-on at a cost of $2 to 34 a gallon and two gallons more put-on at ?2 to SM a gallon. Count ail that. The paint that wears double cost less by 3 gallons of paint and 3 gallons of painting : that's about 815 a gallon for j those superfluous gallous. Th, a t's as good as a double-sweet sugar, isn't it? j Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co., j 4 New York, j P.

Alston's T. P. j ' I Watterson's Position. As was expected, Henry Watterson criticizes adversely that feature of the Bryan speech favoring govern? ment ownership of railroads. In the Courier-Journal of Sept. 1st he says: "His speech of Thursday night is a great speech. It contained matter enough to engage the thoughts of people and parties and statesmen for a decade to come. If half the reme? dies he proposed be attained we shall have sailed out of the trough of the sea of mammon and be riding full rigged the billowy mid-ocean of De? mocracy. It is with positive la? menting that we read, mark and in? wardly digest what he says of the purchase and public ownership of the railways, because we not only think if the height of unwisdom from the political point of view, but of error from the Democratic and Republican, point of view. "The incident of State ownership of State lines which Mr. Bryan throws as a sop to the old Democracy o? State rights is the merest item. It takes away none of the centralizing features of the government owner? ship of the trunk lines. The Federal idea carried to its ultima thule could go no further in consolidating the powers of the government. Under the system he advocate? the government^ of public opinion, upon which, in* spite of organized money the people yet retain a certain hold, would be? come the merest partisan autocracy, the President as puissant as a mon? arch and the people the merest ap? pendages of the politicians." .W The Court of General Sessions for Lee county, whiph convened Monday morning adjourned sine die in the aft? ernoon, there being no cases on the docxet ready for trial. The Mathis Gaylard murder trial, the oiily im? portant case for trial this term, was continued on account of the illness of Dr. L. H. Jennings and other mate? rial witnesses.
