DEATH OF J. M. WITHERSPOON.
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,

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. |

Col. Dargan's Lecture.
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.
