The ball game Saturday afternoon between the Sumter High School and Sumerton High School resulted in a decisive victory for the visitors. The score was Summerton i2, Sumt?r S. The proposition that all dogs run? ning at larg** be muzzled does not meet 'vith approval by dog fanciers, but those who do not want to muz? zle their pets have the alternative of keeping them at home. Those who love dogs should not object to keep? ing them confined to their own prem? ises.

Mayesville, April 23.-Mr. James McDowell Witherspoon died yester? day afternoon at 4 o'clock. He had been in bad health for several years and was very ill for the past few [weeks. Mr. Withespoon was born in the Xew Harmony section of Clar? endon county in 1S62. being 45 years of age at the time of his death. He was tne son of James and Mary Bur gesr Witherspoon. He was a consis? tent member of Xew Harmony Pres? byterian church and was for many years an elder of that church. In 1892 Mr. Witherspoon came to Mayesville and entered the store of R. A. Chandler as salesman. In 1895 he became salesman for J. E. Barnett, and for the past several years he held the position of public cotton weigher. Mr, Witherspoon married Miss Caro C. Cooper in 1896, the eld? est daughter of Mr. J. W. Cooper, who survives him with one little girl. In 1902 he was elected a ruling el? der in the Mayesville Presbyterian church. He was a member of Social lodge, Xo. 110, Knights -of Pythias, and held the office of master of ex? chequer during last year. William Haynsworth, one of the players on the Sumter High School baseball team, was struck on the head by a ball during the game with the Summerton team Saturday after? noon, and painfully injured. He was rendered unconscious for a while, but fortunately the injury he sustained was not serious. It is reported that the cocaine fiends still obtain regular supplies of the drug and dope themselves as habitually as before the law forbidding the sale of the drug, except on a physician's prescription, was enacted, If the report be authentic, and there seems to be no reason to question it, vigorous measures should be t?ken to find out who is supplying the fiends with the drug. If sufficient evidence to make a case can be obtained the cocaine sellers should be prosecuted to the limit of the law. The retailer of cocaine does len times the harm that all the blind tigers do. The dispute with Engineer Ludlow over the sewerage contract is ap? proaching a-settlement and no fur? ther trouble is anticipated. A committee of the sewerage com? mission will go to Tallahassie, Fla., at an early date to inspect a sewerage system that is now being constructed there. It has been suggested by a thought- . ful citizen and taxpayer that instead of erecting a new school building a third story be added to each of of the present buildings. Te suggestion may not be feasible, but it is worth consid? eration and investigation. It might be worth while for the City Board of Education to look into thc matter and get the opinion of an' architect, it" the suggestion can be caried out it will obviate the necessity of purchas? ing a lot for the proposed new build? ing and will give the additional class rooms needed at a much less cost , than if a new building were erected. | Occasionally one has the fortune to meet women who arv ideal in looks and figure.

Glowing enthusiasm, boundless en? ergy, a fund of knowledege, and sin? cerest patriotism: what better com? bination could there be for the work Col. Dargan has set himself to do that of illuminating and preserving the memory of our great dead. His lecture last week was interest? ing from start to finish and created an answering thrill in the breasts of his hearers. The rooms so kindly lent by the Eagles were filled by an intelligent audience, who may be trusted to draw the right lesson from his picture of historical injustice and untruth. The speaker's gifts are many, but he is best as a stimulator of others, and an awakened interest in our for? gotten heroes must come as the re? sult of his labors. The music rendered by the Misses Dargan added much to the pleasure of the evening. TOXEY MOSES RECAPTURED. Negro Who* Escaped From Sumter Hospital Arrested at Bossards. Toney Moses, the negro who re? sisted arrest and made an aggravated assault on Officer Clyde at the At? lantic Coast Line passenger station about two weeks ago, and was shot through the leg in the melee, made his escape from the Sumter Hospital, where he was being treated, on Mon? day night. The escape was kept quiet until Moses could be located, which was done Friday. Chief Brad? ford received information that Moses was in the Bossard neighborhood and he sent Officers McKagen and Grady to arrest him on Saturady. They got Mr. H. T. Edens to carry them out in his automobile this morning, and when they arrived at the place where Moses was reported to be in hiding they found him in a field crouched down in a clump of weeds. He was arrested and brought back to town and is now in jail, where he will be. kept until the next term of court. CAN'T SELL BITTERS. Local Druggists Called on to Pay Revenue License. The druggists were notified Saturday by Deputy Internal Revenue Collect? or Hammet that they will be re? quired to pay the regular revenue as retail liquor dealers if they continue to sell Electric Bitters. The drug? gists are in somewhat of a quandary, inasmuch as the possession of a rev? enue license is, under the dispensary law, prima facie evidence of violation of the law, and if they take out the license and continue the sale of Elec? tric Bitters, they will be liable to prosecution under the Carey-Cothran law, while if they do not they will have to answer to the United States. In these circumstances there seems to be nothing for the druggists to do but cut out Electric Bitters, and this they will probably do. _____________________ SCHOOL BOND ELECTION. Hight Vote Polled and Only a Few Cast in Opposition to Bonds. The election held yesterday to de? cide whether an extra tax of one mill for school purposes should be levied in School District Xo. IT (the City of Sumter) and whether bonds in the sum of $30.000 should be issu? ed for the purpose of providing funds for the erection of another school house aroused little or no interest and a very light vote was polled. The to? tal number of votes were 136. Of this number 10 were against the ex? tra levy and S against the bond issue. The sentiment in favor of the lib? eral support of the city schools is so overwhelming that there is never any possibility of an adverse vote on the question of a bond issue for school purposes and there is consequently never a full vote polled. Mr. C. W. Siansill was painfully but not seriously hurt last night by a frightened mule which he attempted to stop. The mule was terrified by Monaghan Hose Wagon when it came out in response to the false alarm and Mr. Stansill seized it by the bits to prevent a runaway. The mule paw? ed him on the leg and arm. inflicting painful bruises. Guaranteed Stomach Rem? dy. Y.?u may ask why J. F. W. De Lornie is able to guarantee to refund ih<- money ?mless Miona Stomach Tablets cur?: when n?? other remedy for stomach troubles is sold in this ma Miler. If the stomach is only given a rest by using a digestive, the muscles soon become weak, and it is neces? sary to continue taking a digestive tablet after every meal. On the other hand. Mi-o-na used before ealing, strengthens the stomach so that you willi soon be well enough to give up the use of medicine. Mi-o-na costs but 50c a box. and makes positive and complete cures. The best proof of its merit.- is the guarantee to refund the monev if it does not cure thai. J. F. W. DeLorme. gives with every box. il BB SUITS FOR YOUNG MEN FROM the collar of the shapely Coat to the bottom of the well-fitting Trousers, there's an air of smartness in our stylish Suits that shows evidence of clever designing and supe? rior tailoring.
