Florence, S. C., and while in this city
was in the employ of the Sumter Tel?

Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Pittman, who
were married at Bishopville on Jan.
29th, were registered at the Hotel
Sumter Thursday night, en route
from their bridal trip to points in
North Carolina back to Bishopville,
where the young people will make
their future home. Mr. Pittman is the
popular agent and operator for the At?
lantic Coast Line at Bishopville, and
is originally from Tarboro, N. C. His
wife was Miss Margaret lonee Steph?
ens, a popular young lady of the
place in which the new home will be
set up.
This office is now equipped with
electric power and all the machinery
is operated by electric motors. Each
machine has its own motor and ev?
erything is arranged for the rapid and
convenient handling of work. An?
other press has been added to the
equipment of the job department, and
also a large lot of new type. This es?
tablishment is, therefore, better
equipped than ever before to turn out
first class printing at short notice.
We are prepared to do the printing
for Sumter and there is no need to
send a single job out of the city.
Mr. Edgar A. Brown has resigned
his position as stenographer with
Witherspoon Bros & Co., of this city,
where he has been for the past two
years and a half, to accept a similar
position with Messrs. Henderson, at
Aiken, one of the leading law firms j
if this State; and which position j
Court Stenographer Wood held prior
to his appointment to this circuit.
While Mr. Brown's friends deeply re?
gret his leaving Sumter, they congrat
1 ulate him on this step forward and
wish him continued success in his
chosen line.
For several reasons the meeting of
the State league of baseball clubs,
which was to have taken place in the
club rooms of the Elks last night,
"was deferred to some near future
date. Telegrams from Florence and
Camden were received yesterday ap?
pointing proxies to represent these
places, but as the other towns inter?
ested could not send delegations to j
be present at this meeting it was de?
cided to postpone same and to take
steps at once to set a date agreeable
to all concerned.

Lent.
Today marks the beginning of
Lent. The word is derived from an
old English word which meant to
lengthen , and was applied to the
spring season when the days begin to
lengthen. Then it came to signify
the ecclesiastical feast, which occurs
in that season. So completely has
the word become identified with the
feast that its primary meaning is
altogether lost and Lent is now uni?
versally recognized as the name of
the penitential season which precedes
the Easter festival.
Its observance dates from the ear?
liest days of Christianity, though it
has not always been a "forty days
fast." The present season is said to
have originated with Gregory the
Great, who established the forty day
period, and, in order to make up the
number of days, began the season on
Ash Wednesday. It is forty-six days
from Ash Wednesday to Easter day,
but as Sunday is not considered a
fast day, the six intervening Sun?
days are subtracted, and we have "the
forty days of Lent." In primitive
times the custom prevailed for peni?
tents to express their humiliation, on
the first day of Lent, by lying in
sack cloth and ashes. At a later pe?
riod, ashes made from the palms dis?
tributed on Palm Sunday of the pre?
ceding year, were blessed and with
these ashes the sign of the cross was
made on the foreheads of those who
knelt before the officiating minister,
while he repeated the words, "Re?
member, man, that thou art dust,
and unto-dust shalt thou return." It is
easy to seen how the name Ash
Wednesday was derived from these
customs.
Lent is now observed with more or
less strictness by Episcopalians, Ro
man Catholics , Lutherans, and per- |
haps some other bodies of Christians, j
By society folk it is observed as a j
rest from the whirl of social life, j
Among those who give a religious
significance to the season, it is re-,
garded as a period when they aban- J
don as far as possible their usual
course of life, and devote themselves
to self-examination, prayer, fasting
asd deeds of charity, not with the
idea of squaring off the year's ac?
count, but to better equip themselves
to live up to their religious profes?
sion.
SMALLPOX IX SUMTER.
There is Only One Case and That is
Strictly Quarantined.
Owing to fase reports being circu?
lated, within and without the city of
Sumter, in regard to the number of
cases of smallpox here, some persons
even going so far as to say that they
heard there were 40 cases in Sumter,
a reporter of the Daily Item investi?
gated and is officially informed that
there is only one case in the city.
This case is an insurance agent who
selicits sick benefit insurance from
house to house, mostly among ne
groes, and who goes out in the coun?
try soliciting business. It has been
proven beyond doubt, by official in- ;
vestigation, that he contracted the
disease outside of Sumter. This
case is closely quarantined, and there
is no fear of any other cases from
the one now under quarantine. j
The police and sanitary committee
of city council, the city recorder,
health officer and the police force, are
going to rigidly enforce the State and
city compulsory vaccination laws.
Transient soliciting agents, insurance
agents, peddlers, book agents and all
other people who are going around
the State unvaccinated, and are liable
to come in contact with smallpox in
the country, or in other tcwns, and
who, if they contract this disease are j
always taken down in a hotel or
boarding house, ??re going to be ar- j
rested if caught in Sumter unvacci?
nated. One "hundred dollars, or 30
days, is the least fine and imprison?
ment, if convicted before a magis?
trate under the State laws, and $20
or 30 days imprisonment is the least
penalty under the city ordinance, if
convicted. All ? citizens of South Car?
olina, whether in incorporated towns
or in the rural districts, are required
by law to e eucessfully vaccinated
every s;: rs, and parents, guard?
ians, or ; .es a~e held responsible
for unvaccinated minors under their
care or pr^i , 'ion.
Messrs. Pat. Gallagher and Carl
Gentry, Thursday at 4 o'clock, re?
turning from the country, met a sus?
picious negro coming out West Lib?
erty street. The negro had a sack on
his shoulder and investigation proved
that it contained chickens. The ne?
gro was relieved of the bag and an
effort was made to bring him to "the
city hall, but he broke lose and out?
ran the young men. The chickens
were brought in and are now held at
the city hall for identification.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
A Young Man Feigns the Intent to
Elicit Sympathy, But There Was
None.
j A few days ago a young man, well
I known in Sumter, after a day of ca?
rousing, returned to his home in a
very much inebriated condition. Of
course the fond mother was stricken
with grief to see the pride of her life
in this hell-ward flight, therefore she
wept bitterly over her son. It was
too much for the young man and he,
too, began to spill tears as copious as
they were disgusting-and as only
a drunken man can shed. Later his
father came in and took his wayward
son to his room. The father's patience
was soon exhausted and when the
young man grabbed a bottle contain?
ing over an ounce of laudanum and
guggled it down the father left his
room, saying: "Die; you'll be better
off." When the father reflected a few
moments, he returned to his son to
find him with his arm half way down
his throat trying to relieve his stom?
ach of the deadly draught. The much
desired end on the part of the young?
ster was accomplished, and within a
few minutes he soberly remarked,
"I'll never try lt again!"
There is a moral in this story, and
doubtless many young men will pro?
fit thereby.
i
RECORDER'S COURT.
A Miscellaneous Assortment of
Drunks and Petty Thieves- On the
Mourner's Bench.
Businesss in police circles has been
somewhat affected by the weather for
the past 10 days but things are thaw?
ing out and today's session of the Re?
corder's Court was tolerably warm
considering all things.
F. A. Berry had gauged his drinks
by the'thermometer, but the jump up
of mercury caught him napping and
His Honor felt justified in collecting
from Berry $5 for the city or else give
him a chance to sober up on the gang
during the next ten days.
Tom Parrott was charged with
cursing and disturbing the peace. The
trouble exciting the anger of Par?
rott was, it appears, the outgrowth of
an insinuation on his part that his
room-mate, Harry Keeth, scratched
too much and disturbed his peaceful
repose and then too there was a 50
cent pair of shoes mixed up in the
melee There was nothing in the case
and Judge Hurst dismissed the case
with a slight admonition to both par?
ties to the affair.'
Nehemiah Johnson, colored, was
not as close an adherent to the Ten
Commandments as his name would
seem to indicate and had broken the
8th Commandment and had swiped
$16 worth of cuff buttons from Mr.
W. A. Thompson. Nehemiah was sent
to the gang for 30 days.
Bob Hooks who had hooked a pistol
from Wm. Skipper and skipped out
with the gun was the next case on
the docket. Hooks was a hookey
looking negro, and could not show
that he had been doing anything for
some time but he was well dressed
and wore loud socks. The case was
continued and Hooks was locked up ;
in default of $10 bond.
Recorder's court opened yesterday
at high noon as usual, but not cus?
tomary manner. Judge Hurst has
many roles to play and is called upon
to settle many little questions not
clearly defined by law.
Clinton Sadler was up before his
honor on many charges, or rather, a
charge of many colors, and his bet?
ter half was also present to state to
the court that Clint had not been a
model husband and that though her
love for him was great and her pa?
tience greater, she preferred his ab?
sence to his abuse. Both the man
and wife bore signs of being industri?
ous negroes, therefore Judge Hurst
gave them some good counsel and
with a promise from both man and
wife that each would try as they had
before to live for each other, the case
was' dismissed.
Henry Evans was charged with a
plain drunk. Henry had been in ap?
pearance at the Recorder's matinee
on a previous occasion, but it was
long ago, and since which time he
had not left the path of sobriety until
last night. The judge listed him as
a backslider, and gave him the bene?
fit of the new beginner's fine-$2.
Shadrach Moore was up for so
many things incident to a cocaine
drunk that he was remanded to jail
awaiting further developments.
Judge Wells Again.
Magistrate H. L. B. Wells will take
charge of the office Monday morning,
having received his commission from
Governor Ansel. His office will be in
the Court House, and his hours will
be 9 a. m. to 1 p. m.; 3 to 6 p. m.
The soil survey of Sumter county,
under the direction of the United
States department of agriculture, has

and will avive in a short time.

SUMTER'S RACE I U EL
First Meet to Take Plac^ Earlx La
March-Grounds are Practically in
Readiness.
The work on the new race track
has been prosecuted with remarkable
despatch. The enterprise first as?
sumed definite proportions about 60
days ago, when the promoters of the
project, which means much to Sum?
ter in attracting attention of the
country to the Came Cock City and
its unparalleled advantages, incepted
the actual work of constructing a race
track that would compare favorably
with the best and most modern
courses known to the turf, and with?
in the next few days the undertaking
will have been completed.
The organization furthering tire
project will be chartered under the
name of the Sumter Turf Exchange,
and the personnel of the exchange is
composed <ot the following well
known gentlemen:
Col. R. C. Richardson-President.
Mr. A. K. Sanders-Vice President
Mr. "Wm. Bultman-Manager.
Mr. C. F. McFaddin-Assistant
Manager.
W. R. Burgess-Secretary and
Treasurer.
These gentlemen are conversant in
detail with the requirements of an
up-to-date track, and besides making
a study of the most advantageous
construction of a race track and con?
forming their plans strictly thereto,
have been indeed fortunate in securing
natural advantages not easily found,
and the tracks of the Sumter Turf
Exchange will stand second to none
in the south.
The stables connected with the race
track will be under the management
of Mr. W. C. Wise, lately of Colum?
bia. Mr. Wise is one cf the best
known race horse trainers in the
country and boasts a career and ce?
lebrity of a long and successful ca?
reer in training a number of Ameri?
ca's most famous race horses. Mr.
Wise at one time had charge of the
stables of the millionaire turfman, R.
J. Lucas, of St. Louis. He has train?
ed and developed many noted win?
ners, such as "Kitty Platt," Bull
Finch," "Invasion," the sensational
performer and half-sister to "Plater."
"Plater" holds the record of the
world for a five and a half furloungs,
and many others of equal celebrity.
At these stables a regular training
business will be conducted and many
"notables" are already located here,
a list of which with pedigrees will
be furnished later.
The climatic conditions Iiere are
especially suited for horses in train?
ing, while the soil upon which the
track is located is easy on the ani?
mals undergoing preliminary work.
The first meet of the Sumter Turf
Exchange will occur early in March.
Already many famous racers have
been booked and even in its infancy
it is confidently expected by those in
direct management that the first
meet will compare favorably with old
established race tracks.
COUNTY BOARD MEETLXG.
Bids for Furniture for New Court
House-Drainage of Turkey Creek
Considered.
The Board of County Commission?
ers held a meeting Thursday for the
purpose of considering, among other
things, the purchase of furniture for
the new Court House. Mr. C. D.
Parham, representing the Art Metal
Construction company of A?anta, ap?
peared before the board and present?
ed specimens of furniture and metal
files for records, etc. The specimens
exhibited, as to convenience and safe?
ty, were of the most modern mechan?
ism. The matter was thoroughly dis?
cussed and the board left for Colum
Friday for the purpose of confer?
ring with the delegation before tak?
ing definite steps in the matter.
At this meeting the board received
as information for further considera?
tion a proposition from the city of
Sumter looking to deepening and
widening of Turkey creek for drain?
age purposes. This proposition was
submitted by a committee composed
of Messrs. J. H. Chandler, R. F.
Haynsworth, H. C. Haynsworth and
Health Officer Reardon, and was in
the main that the county assist the
city in defraying the expenses of this
proposed improvement, basing the
claim to this on the grounds that a
large portion of the county drainage
depended upon the Turkey creek ca?
nal, from Dingle's mill to the city
limits, a distance of four miles; into
which the water draining from the
Mayesville, Bishopville and Man?
ning roads emptied.
The matter will be acted upon at a
later meeting.

Drunken Man's Arm Near the OM
Catholic Church Last Night.
Policeman Barwick 'located
drunken man Friday night on W. Lib?
erty street, near the old Catholic
church, and w ent out to bring him in.
Upon reaching the place he saw an
elderly man and stranger in the city
laying in" a heap on the pavement
and made an effort to arouse him
Failing in this he caught the man's
arm and gave it a pull. The arm w^s
completely severed from the body.
However, the operation aroused the.
man from his drunken stupor and
soon Mr. Barwick appeared at the
baracks leading the unfortunate
man and holding in his hand
the ghastly dismembered arm.
The brave o nicer was pale
and trembling, while cold pers?
piration stood out on his haggard
face. "It is one of the worst experi?
ences I have had," he remarked, and
even after he discovered that the sev?
ered member was only a life-like cork
limb, it was same time before h^.
fully recovered from the experience.

How to Avoid Distress and Indiges?
tion After Eating.
Let us show you how to enjoy &
good dinner, how to regain the appe?
tite of your childhood, and to relish
your food.
There is no need of any self-de?
nying: diet list, no call for nasty and.
disagreeable medicine, no list of hard
exercises; simply a Mi-o-na stomach
tablet before each emal, and one be?
fore going to bed, and it will so
strengthen the stomach that a good
dinner will given you pleasure and
comfort without the least fear of
distress.
The best proof of the value of our
advice is the fact that J. F. W.De
Lorme gives a positive guarantee (ap?
plying to two 50c boxes of Mi-o-na)
that your money will be refunded un?
less the remedy cures. A guarantee
like this must give you confidence In
Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive
with only temporary relief, but a
specific for all disorders of the stom?
ach, strengthening the digestive or?
gans and making a permanent cure.
