STOCKET. Estimable Risliopvlllc Woman Called to Hev Reward. Blshopvllle, Sept. 24.?Mm. Alice Dixon Stuckey. wife of Mr. j. Wesley Stuckey. of this place, who was strick? en with paralysis last Monday morn ins;, died Sunday night before day? light. She was found lying uncon? scious and remained In that condition until the end. Mrs. Stuckey was a pious, godly woman, having at an early ago joined the Methodist Church. She has been for many years an active worker In that church and In all benevolent en? terprises for the good of the commu? nity. Mrs. Stuckey had two brothers, James and Reves Dlxon, both of whom are dead, and four sisters. Mrs. J. Oliver DuRant, who died some years ago; Mrs. A. Clarence DuRant, Mrs. John F. Kelley an.l Mrs. A. Brooks Stuckey. DEATH OF MR. J. H. DIXOX. Confederate Soldier Has Passed Away?Funeral Today. Mr. J. H. Dixon, an aged Confede? rate soldier, died yesterday morning i at hie home on Sumter Street after an Illness of several days. Mr. Dlxon was a memb r of Camp Hampton and served with distinction In the Hamp? ton Legion. The members of Camp Hampton have been served with the following official notice by the adju? tant: 'The members of Camp Hampton are requested to assemble at 2 p. m. today, sharp, at 1106 Lumber Street, to take part In the^ funeral of their late comrade, J. H. Dlxon. A full at? tendance, 1* destgeaV' The following will act as pall bear? ers f T. J. Hsrper. B. A. Kawls.JX J.' Roach, Henry Hennles, J. W. Gallant and Mosea McCain. The services will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Brunson, pastor of Msln Street Methodist Church.?The 8tate. The deceased w&s a native of Blsh opvllle and was for a number of years a resident of Sumter. Work on the new passenger depot la progressing well, much to the satis? faction of the many patrona of the railway., There Is no use talking hard times and giving yourself the blues?there Is a margin of profit in cotton at 11 1-2 cents, and the big corn crop is a guarantee against starvation. The cotton seed oil mill has not commenced crushing yet, all seed from this point being shipped to Co? lumbia. The mill will be in operation, however, within a few days. The old Presbyterian Church, which was purchased by Mr. J. L. Met' 111 inn Is being torn down. The lumber will be used In the erection of residences.. An instance of the gross favoritism and partiality displayed by City Coun? cil In disbursing Its bounty was called to the writers' attention the other day by an indignant and disinterested tax? payer. He said he regarded It a cry? ing ?harne that Council pays the Sec? ond Regiment Band $200 a year for giving open air concerts, on the square once a week during the summer months, but donates not a cent to those who give graphophone concerts on Main street all day and every day all the year 'round. It Is stated on good authority that chickens, eggs and better command higher prices on the local market than they do In Charleston, Washing? ton and New York. Ttu se articles of food are scarce enough and dear enough here for the statement to be true. Ther" OUght to be money In poultry raising and dairying for the local market. A few years ago when cotton was ??'Hing for 6 and S cents a great deal of delicious ribbon cane syrup WSI produced. In Sumter county and the local demand W is supplied almost en? tirely from Sumter county farms, but now the making of the best syrup in the world is almost a lost art here? abouts. Several observant and WSll posted LfafUfl say that the cotton crop has deteriorated SO materially since Aug? ust 15th that the yield will be fully twenty per cent less than SStiWtStSd during the first half of August. This li a conservative estimate while those who like to talk in big BgUrei plate shortage at 25 to 16 x>? r fSHt of previous estimates -nevertheless the crop Is good when compared with last year. It has been found that Iron plpt will no! be required underneath the railroad tracks on Mauser street, and theref ? there will be no delay in the coast motion < r ths sewer line at this point. The cut is SO deep at that point, bringing the pipe at least 12 feet urebr the tracks that there will be no need for rron Idas, I'nder some of tho railroad crossings, however. where the cuts will got be so deep. Iron plpt Will be used, but as. ther? is plenty of time In which to SSetart this pipe there will be no delays in the work in the railroad sections of the rlry. Rapid progress Is being made with the twenty-two Inch pipe laying, and things mv running along satis? factorily In sewerage construction. The baseball fans of this city, and there are hundreds of them, are very much interested in the coming meet? ing at which time the future of the State league will be discussed and, no doubt, some definite action taken. ')f course, Sumter will be in the league and will do all In her power to keep the pennant Hying here. The scarcity of hands Ii being seri? ously felt by the lumber mills and other manufacturing concerns in this vicinity that employ common labor. The cotton fi< Ids are too atracclve for the average laborers, and they do not hesitate to throw up a steady job to pick cotton for a few weeks. Some of the mills ore so short handed that they can hardly run while others are thinking of shutting down temporarily. Read the advertisement of Randle, the music and sewing machine man.
