The docket of the Recorder's court Saturday was not lorge one, but made up of cases out of the ordinary, and as a result the attendance was unusual? ly large. The first case on the blotter was against Abram Bossard for careless and reckless driving. Late Friday afternoon Abram seemed to think he held the right-of-way over every? thing in sigght, and meeting little Fred Xigels on a bicycle on South Karvin street, ran over him without any ef? fort to check his horse. The bicycle became entangled in the vehicle and was dragged some distance together with the little fellow, who was con? siderably bruised. Bossard ""did not seem to have any concern in the mat? ter, but drove on laughing at the vic? tim of his gross carelessness. He was fined $50 or SO days. An old Confederate veteran bowed by his 63 years and scarred by con? flicts of the CO's, was the next pris? oner called before his honor. The charge against the man was public drunkenness, having been found in an helpless condition upon the streets after midnight this morning. "While the prisoner pleaded not guilty the evidence was conclusive. The judge hung his head in shame for what should be a humiliating lesson to the old veteran and sentenced him the minimum fine-$2 or four days. Eddie Dinkins, colored, was charg? ed with larceny of tobacco from the store of Cuttino & McKnight. On this charge Eddie was fined $5 or 10 days, and when this sentence is satisfied he will be bound over to the circuit court on a charge of larceny of a bic3rcle from the Crescent Restaurant. The following cases were disposed of in the Recorder's court Monday: Betsey Pierson, colored, drunk and disorderly and cursing on Church street, sentenced to 30 days. John Wesley, assault and battery and assault with a knife, referred to magistrate's court. Dock Jenkins, cursing on Liberty j street, $2 or 4 days. Susannah Evans, larceny of clothes from Hattie Bradford, $15 or 30 days. A commission for charter has been issued to Schwartz Bros., authorized capital $30,000. The corporators are Isaac, Charles D. and Emma Schwartz. OflScial notice of the commutation of the death sentence of John Hen? derson to that of imprisonment for life in the State penitentiary was filed Friday with Sheriff Epperson, so the execution fixed for today did not take place. Henderson will soon bc taken to Columbia to enter upon the service of his long sentence. i Reckless Driver Runs Over Child an? She Dies Within a Few Hours. I Reckless driving culminated Monda; in the death of a little negro girl ?Surprise may be expressed, but then is no occasion for surprise; the onl: . surprising thing is that many mon J have not been killed. The accident-if it can be callee ' an accident when the facts all?g?e I show that it was carelessness of th< worst sort-occurred on Counci street, in front of the Lincoln Schoo house, about 12 o'clock. The victin was a little negro girl, the daugter o: Lily Holman, about eight years old who was crossing the street as Jobi White, colored, came along in a two horse wagon. He was driving in ? sweeping trot and was hitting th( team a lick with his wrhip every fen moments to keep them on the move The child was knocked down, th< wagon w'heels passed over her body and John White whipped up his tearc and went dashing on his wa> writhoui stopping to see whether the child wa< dead or only injured. j A doctor was summoned and thi i child was given every attention, bul she died about 3 o'clock. Death was due to internal injuries, some of th? vital organs having been ruptured bj the great weight of the wagon. John White ,whose carele-.:ness caused the child's death, has bc-i ar? rested. Work on the extension of .the At? lantic Coast Line freight depot is be? ing rapidly pushed to- completicn. and this much needed addition to the shipping convenience of Sumter will soon be ready for service. The newr residence of Mr. Neill O'Donnell, on/E. Liberty street, is nearly or quite ready for occupancy. It presents an attractive appearance and is one of the handsome homes in the city. The county chain gang which has been at work at Lightwood Knot branch for some time, passed through the city this morning en route for the Mayesville road, where it will be lo? cated near Mr. Reames' farm, for sev? eral weeks. Mr. J. B. Morris, county supervisor of Barnwell county, is in the city. His visit here is for the purpose of in? specting the portable steel cages j built especially for use on county j chain gangs in lodging convicts when not at work or over night, thereby curtailing in no small degree guaid ex : pense. The cages in question were built by Mr. Edgar Skinner and since being used in this county have at ! tracte d widespread attention. It is ! said that while they are exception ' ally substantially built and safe in ev i ery particular, accommodating thirty ! prisoners each they are neatly built I and by far the lightest on the market. PLAYING WITH FIRE. For the past two days a street ven? der of tooth powders has been ope? rating on the corner of Main anet Liberty streets, offering as an induce? ment to prospective purchasers a chemical compound which will ignite when coming in contract with any liquid, or when placed upon any damp iiflammable object it will catch, fire and burn like tinder. We sug? gest to those in charge of issuing li? cense to such people, the possible danger arising in this particular case, especially in the event that this compound should fall into the pos? session of very careless people or those who may entertain incendiary j motives. A compulsory education law that" devolves the duty of enforcing it upon the school trustees will be just a little better than no law. Finishing touches are being put onto the residence of Mr. E. C. Haynsworth, on E. Calhoun street? and it will be ready for occupancy shortly. Flower Seed. I have been allotted 500 packages ?of flower seed, and I shall be glad to sena a package to any lady in my district who will write me a letter or po^:..i furnishing me her address. Very truly, A. F.
