COURT CONVENES.
Sfrtdge Hydrick's Charge to the Grand
Jury Dealt With Law and Order
and the Duty of Jurors.
^rom th* Daily Item Oct. 22.
. y
The Court of General Sessions con?
vened this morning with Judge D. E.
HydTick on the bench and the other
contrit Officiais in their places.
>J?dge Hydrick, in charging the
?grran? Jury, said that it was not neces?
sary ior him to deliver a charge rel
itivfc to their duties generally, since
*chis was the last sesison of court of
the year and the jury had been charg?
eai ai the spring term.
^Sumter county is. to be congratu?
lated*'* he said, "on having shown
^respect for law and the constituted
authorities and had permitted the
Saw to take its course in a recent oc?
currence." He went on today, how?
ever, that although Sumter county
sshouid be congratu?ated on respecting
the law such exhibitions should not
^e a subject for remark or congratu?
lation were it not that the whole
country seems to be. affected with a
disregard for law and a want of re
?spect for the constituted authorities,
that renders by contrast, obedience
law noticeable. He could not say
to what the lack of respect for law
"was primarily due> but it is, in - a
fcaeasure.. he believed, the result of
the snanner in which the law has
been administered by those whose
<2.uty it is fo enforce it. Perhaps
that Jack of respect for law displayed
?>j the present generation is due to
the neglect of parents to inculcate in
the minds of their sons the same rev?
erence for law that our fathers
taught by precept and example and
that they in^turn receiv?d from their
fathers. He felt that every parent
should make it his duty to impress
fcpon his children a respect for law,
?ind to instruct them in the duties of
Citizenship the most important of
Which is obedience to and respect
the law. In view of the failure
^f so many parents to perform this ;
? Sty ^provision should be made for j
?Geh teaching in the schools.
Taking up more directly the duty j
the grand jury, he read the oath, j
Which each juror is required to take, j
fcc said that he doubts if a single mern- j
^>?- of the jury had ever given the oath
groper consideration or could repeat
Essential features of the oath. He
^sapressed upon the grand jury the
feafcortanee of the duties and re
^^W?idhilities committed to their
fesaxds, admonished them individually
%'??. collectively to discharge these
"$*i?es in a manner to make the laws
St?tective and therefore respected and
^x>rthy oi-res-pect.
te?ge Hydrick also gave Sheriff
ISippersor. instructions in no uncertain
cerms respecting the maintenance of
3r'?er in court both within and with
?^Ut'the bar. The prompt attendance
jurors, witnesses and attorneys
Vifi he insisted upon and in the case
^Jurors and witnesses, the clerk was j
^iStruFCted to make a note of those j
brave to be called frequently and
IT they hav# no valid excuse for de
Jisy?ng the court their pay is to be j
SoeJced,
Judge Kydrick said he estimated j
&&t it ccv: about $2 a minute to run j
tte? court and he would not ccuntc- j
iASos costly delays caused by the '
??ej?eiDt of witnesses and others to be
?x>sipt in attendance.
After Judge Hydrick had charged
grand jury, Solicitor Wilson de
Jv-t?red to them a number of indict
*3aefct*s upon which true bills were
3&*i:fcd in the following cases:
baines Gaillard, assault and battery
3?. high and aggravated nature.
>3oe Seabrook, larceny of live stock.
John Coleman, murder.
Tfcu-e Soloman, house breaking and
?f?s&t Ross, murder.
2?eii*y Holland, burglery and l?r
I No bill was found in the case
against Charles Pinkney, charged
with assault and battery.
The officers have so far been un
'able to locate and capture John Cole?
man, charged with murder, and it
was therefore necessary to mark the
case against him /'continued" on the
docket.
- The court is now engaged in
hearing the case of the State vs.
James Gaillard, assault and battery
of a high and aggreviated nature.
The trial will be concluded today.
Da\Tis D. Moise, Esq., is attorney for
the defendant.
From the Daily Item Oct. 23.
Judge Hydrick has the machinery
of ihe#court in good working order,
and is disposing of the criminal
docket .rapidly.

Gaillard, charged with assault ?nd
battery of a high and aggravated
nature, .was completed yesterday, and

ple assault and battery. The defendant

AND NOW THE CIRCUS
Big Barnum & Bailey Circus to Ex?
hibit in this City in a Short Time.
It has been definitely announced
that the Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth is to exhibit in Sumter
on Wednesday, Nov. 7th. This will
be gratifying news to all who appre?
ciate and enjoy a high class modern
circus performance. The Barnum &
Bailey show, according to all prelim- |
ir.ary reports, not only retains its su- j
premacy as the leader in arenic j
amusements, but even a cursory j
glance at the list of this year's big S
i features compels the conclusion that
its own former records have been
surpassed. It seems to be an estab?
lished fact that when the American
public wants to see the latest Euro?
pean sensations it must go to the Bar?
num & Bailey show. From time to
time during the winter months news?
paper readers have their interest
aroused by stories of remarkable
achievements by daring performers
in the Old-World arenas. These per?
formances are often so remarkable
that important American newspapers
devote columns, and even pages, of
their Sunday magazines to describing
and illustrating them. * This is not
done through any solicitation on the
part of interested persons, but be?
cause the feats are so startling as to
constitute "news" of the most inter- j
esting and important character. The
public reads of these notable acts,
I dimly wonders, perhaps, whether j
I they will ever be seen in America;
J and then, almost before the first im
I pression of wonder has passed away,
a definite announcement is made that
the furore-creating sensation has
been secured as a feature with the
Barnum. & Bailey show. The amount
of clever work and the extent of the
tremendous expenditure involved in
securing these epoch-making acts ?
can only be conjectured. I
This season's talk-compelling sen- j
sations embrace the exciting "Two j
Twirls of Terror," in which two j
death-defying bicyclists turn com?
plete revolutions on their wheels
while shooting through space; the
"Dip of Death," in which a beautiful
young American girl "loops the gap"
in an automobile, and several other
"Thrillers" that have created unlim?
ited discussion. N
It is evident, however, that these
startling acts are not permitted to in?
terfere with the general excellence of
the circus performance, for the* ros?
ter of great riders, acrobats and aeri?
alists is an exceptionally long and va?
ried one. There are also scores of
original and novel offerings, quite dif?
ferent from anything hitherto pre?
sented in the American circus arena;
the trained animal features are de?
scribed as unusually novel and ef?
fective; there is an amusing infusion
of comedy by a company of up-to
date clowns; the old Roman races
are revived on a colossal scale, and
a notably complete collection of rare
j animals offers an interesting study to
the crowds that visit the big show.
This year's spectacle is entirely new
and in keeping with the spirit of the
times. It is entitled "Peace," and is
described as the most brilliant alie'
gorical* and millitary display ever de?
vised.
There will be-, ho parade by the
Barnum & Bailey circus, but a sensa- j
tional free show is promised for the ?
hour prior to the opening of each
performance.
Attention is directed to Schwartz
Bros., advertisement today.
There is no article of wearing apparel that is so burdensome
to a family, especially if it be a large one, as their shoe bill
The little fellows may go barefooted in the summer time, bul
when the cold weather comes they must have shoes, and, oh
my, how quickly they do kick them out. It is perfectly natu?
ral for boys and girls to kick-old folks do that, too, but of a
different character. They would not mind the shoe bill if they
could imitate the youngsters. People who buy their shoes from
us are free to admit that they do not have to replenish the
stock so often. The reason is plain.
They Qet Quality.
There is no shoe that has, ever been made to sell at a price
that gives better wear than
The Godman.
Prices 50, 85, $1 and $1.25. We sell them also for women.
They are made in two grades, a dcngola, which is a very
dressy shoe, and a marine calf, which is intended for rough us?
age. We v.arrant every pair of them. Prices $1.50 and $1.75.
Ladies' Fine Shoes.
Nowhere will you find a shoe with the essential combination
of style and quality as that made by
E. P. Reed & Co.
These pi opie claim to be the largest manufacturers of ladies*
fine sho?s in the country and are constantly improving on their
output. Ti ices, $2 $2.50, $3 and SS 50.
Just Wright Shoes for Men.
The man who wants a combination of style and comfort, if
he is not already a patron of our shoe department, would do
well to try a pair of these. The shoe is all that its name im?
plies-correct in fit, correct in style, and absolutely so as to its
wearing qualities. Prices, $3.50, Si $4.50 and $5.
The goods quoted above are merely a few of our specialties,
the line is complete, and while there has been a marked ad?
vance in the price of leather, it is barely perceptible in?our
! shoe prices.

EST MAGISTRATE'S COURT.
Hie Case of the State vs. Williams
Resulted in a Mistrial.
From noon Thursday until after S
o'clock that night Magistrate Harby
and a jury of six heard and endeav?
ored to determine the case of the
State vs. T. W. Williams. Mr. T. D.
Fields appeared as prosecutor in the
case.
The case was a criminal proceeding
growing out of the f?ct that a pos?
tal money order made payable to the
Hotel Jackson was cashed by Mr.
Williams, and the vital question in?
volved was whether or no this act
was done prior or subsequent to the
dissolution of the copartnership busi?
ness in which the prosecutor and de?
fendant were engaged as proprietors
of the Hotel Jackson.
After a very tedious trial lasting
an unusual length of time for a case
in a magistrate court, the jury found
that an agreement was impossible and
Magistrate Harby ordered a mistrial.
The jury was composed of Messrs. J.
H. Witherspoon, D. M. Dick, J. D.
Shirer, W. M. Folsom, W. H. Strick?
land and jw. T. Spann. It is under- I
stood that the jury stood 3 for acquit- j
tal and 3 for conviction.
The case will be calied for trial j
after the adjournment of the Court of
Common Pleas and General Sessions,
which convened in this city on Mon?
day last.

Osteopathy has NEVER claimed to be a cure all. BUT A SCIENCE OF HEALING based on a
knowledge of anatomy, physiology, symtomatology and pathology, using every means of diag?
nosis with a view of not only discovering the symptoms, but the CAUSE OF DISEASE,. claim?
ing that the body has within itself the power of successfully combating disease and thfet when
the CAUSES PRODUCING DISEASES are removed NATURE HERSELF EFFECTS A CURE, ali
of which has been demonstrated time and again.
OSTEOPATHY SEEKS TO REMOVE THE CAUSE And te so in MOST INSTANCES.
Mrs. J. B. Forcer, wife of U. S. Senator Foraker. ot Oh'io,
said: 'T owe my life to Osteopathy and the founder of the
science would have been imu_ortali2,ed h3d he discovered
NOTHING MORE than his method of treating women."
It is the greatest blessing in the world for the treatment of
diseases of women. The most delicate women need not fear
the treatment.
Mrs. W. M. Springer, wife of Chief Justice Springer, of the
Court of Appeals, Indian Territory, said: "I can rever say
enough in praise of Osteopathy. It relieved me from unbear?
able invalidism and I have seen it do the same for scones of
others. Pam convinced that Osteopathy is rational,- fcienti
fic and wonderful." The most modest need not hesitate to
take Osteopathy.
