Sumtonians, ever loyal and patriot?
ic, sent one of the largest represent?
ative bodies of citizens to the unveil?
ing of the superb equestrian monu?
ment of General Wade Hampton of
?ll the cities in the State. She was
?represented by the delegation of Vet
crans, Sons of Veterans, Daughters of
the Confederacy, the long honored
Sumter Light Infantry and most note?
worthy of alL the pride of the Game j
p Code City, the Second Regiment Band j
?under the leadership of Prof. W. S.
Schumacher. Besides these, there
-were a large number of business and
prof essie lal men, a number of ladies,
and even many boys from Sumter,
"Who delighted in doing honor to the
memory of the great general of the
Southern Confederacy.
Wjher the Second Regiment Band,
playing Dixie, wheeled into the Capi?
tol grounds every Sumtonian's heart
throbbed with pride, and a thunderou81
">cheer burst from the throats of the
-assembled thousands giving to Prof.
Schumacher and his splendid band
?the grandest ovation received by any
organization present, save, alone, that
.accorded the noble old veterans.
All present expressed themselves
as thoroughly delighted with the.
significance of the monument, its
naturalness and its being a splendid
likeness of General Hampton.
There is no finer equestrain statue
in the south, and it is one to which
every South Carolinian can point to
with just enthusiasm and pride.

\r \ \nRSVTTTi"F! DISPENSER SHORT.
Investigation Made Thursday by the
County Board-Dispensary Closed,
and Mr. R. A. Weldon Appointed to
Succeed Dispenser Bass.
Messrs. C. W. Stansill and W. S.
Chandler, of the County Board of
Control, accompanied by Inspector
Nichols and Bookkeeper Thorpe, of
the State Dispensary, and Dispenser
Windham, of this city, went to Mayes
ville Thursday to check up the stock
and accounts of Dispenser F. J. Bass,
of that place.
The stock in the dispensary was
carefully checked over and the books
and accounts thoroughly investigated.
The result of the examination was
that Dispenser Bass was found to be
$390.36 short in his account The
dispensary was immediately closed by*
the County Board, and it will remain
closed until Mr. R. A. Weldon, who
has been appointed dispenser to suc?
ceed Mr. Bass takes charge tomorrow
or the next day. Mr. Weldon was for
several years clerk in the dispensary
in this city and is thoroughly famil?
iar with the business. He has al?
ready given satisfactory bond and
will take charge as soon he can ar?
range his business to leave Sumter.
'Mr. Stansill stated today that there
was nd evidence of criminality on the
part of Dispenser Bass and the mem?
bers of the Board of Control enter?
tain no suspicion that he appropriat?
ed to his own use the funds of the
dispensary. He took charge of the
Mayesville dispensary only a few
months ago, and was at the time of
his appointment wholly unacquainted
with the business and the duties of
the position. Mr. Bass has no idea
how the shortage occurred. The
county will lose nothing, as Mr. Bass
will make good the shortage, and in
the event of his inability to do so,
his bond which was furnished by a
surety company, is good for the
amount.

ANOTHER JAIL DELIVERY.
Mahn, a White Prisoner. Escapes
Scott, a Negro, Recaptured.
For the second time during a very
short period there has been a jail de?
livery. Wednesday night a white man,
Mahn, one of the most dangerous and
disreputable characters in the county,
who was placed in jail in default of a
sufficient peace bond required of him
on account of threats of an unmen
1 tionable nature made by him against
members of his immediate family,
succeeded in making his escape. So
aggravated were the charges against
Munn that the people of his own com?
munity in the Oswego neighborhood
phoned Sheriff Epperson that if he
was not sent for and dealt with ac?
cording to law immediately, that they
themselves would undertake his prop?
er and speedy punishment. The term
of his sentence in the county jail was
for a period of one year and one day.
During his confinement, Mahn has
had free access to all parts of the jail,
has always assisted the jailer in the
discharge of his duties, and will be re?
membered.-as one of the leading wit?
nesses for the State in the case vs.
Nathan Wilson, at which trial facts
were revealed that resulted in disclos?
ing the whipping scandal recently
thoroughly aired in the columns of
the Item.
Jailer Norris has reported the af?
fair substantially as follows:
About 7.30 o'clock Wednesday
night two women temporarily in the
jail as lunatics were creating so much
disturbance that it became necessary
for the jailer to go to them and en?
deavor to pacify them by threatening
to whip and put them in chains if
they did not cease their outrageous
conduct. When Jailer Norris entered
the room adjoining that part of the
jail in which are the steel cages, he
saw Mahn sitting on a barrel of dis?
infectants with both coat and hat on,
but thought nothing of it. He saw the
women who promised to be more
quiet and returning told Mahn not to
go to bed for he might need him to
help administer medicine prescribed
by the county physician to the women.
They were always opposed to taking
the medicine and it was necessary to
throw them down and force the dose,
a tablespoonful, down their throats.
Mahn promised his assistance.
When the women began to again
render themselves obnoxious by
jumping up and down on the steel
cage and by screaming, the jailer re?
turned to administer the medicine.
As he entered the door, the jailer
states that Mahn caught him by the
shoulder, wheeled him suddenly
around and made a break through the
door for liberty. He whipped out his
pistol and fired twice when in the jail
at the fleeing prisoner, failing to hit
at very short range; he fired twice
more at a short distance from the
jail and then the pistol refused to re?
spond to pressure on the trigger.
Mahn then disappeared over a nearby
fence. Scott, a negro, held as a wit?
ness in the Gaillard case, followed
after the jailer, but he was recaptur?
ed, and placed in jail again.
The pistol that the jailer displayed
as the one used that night was a lu?
dicrous weapon of defense. The cyl?
inder was so clogged up with dirt or
for some'other reason It refused to
revolve. Two bullets were found
lodged sideways in an inch pine door,
and two holes in the ground not more
than three inches deep were seen
where two other bullets were said to
have lodged. The county should sup?
ply the keeper of its premises with a
better weapon than the one now in
the possession of Jailer Norris.
Every effort should be made to ap?
prehend and recapture Mahn, and if
a start in that direction is made in
time, it will most likely result suc?
cessfully.'
Made Happy for Life.
* Great happiness came into the
home of S. C. Blair, school superin?
tendent, at J3t. Albans, W. Va., when
his littie daughter was restored from

ment but grew steadily worse until as
a last resort we tried Electric Bit?
