SMALL, FIRE TODAY. Kitchen on South Main Street Slightly Damaged. Today about 11.45 an alarm of Are was rung In and the companies re? sponded with their usual alertness. The kitchen of the residence of Mr. J. M. Chandler, at . No. 132 South Main street, was found to be on lire. In a few minutes the flames were extinguished with little damage to the property. It Is supposed that the roof caught from a defective flue. The bis; reduction aale at the No tick Novelty store will continue again thla week. The merchants report a good busi? ness on Saturday and from* all 'ac? counts sold a good quantity of winter goods. "It pays to advertise.". On account of the burning of a trestle, or bridge, on the Coast Line between Lanes and Florence last night, the trains from the south were run around by Sumter this morning. There wsa a light frost 'Saturday night and again Sunday night. Sweet potato vines snd other tender vegetar tlon were nipped and the effect of the frost was plainly dlscernable this monring. The police have been specifically Instructed to enforce the ordinance against the riding of bicycles without bells or lanterns, so all violators of this ordinance had better be on the I lookout for trouble If they persist In riding without bells or lamps/ /A prominent merchant said today that business had not been ao good this fall as might be expected consid? ering the amount of money that was being placed In circulation. He as? signed two reasons for this, viz: That last year being 'a bad one with the farmers, there wefe many back debts to be paid thla year, and again that the weather had been almost too warm so far for fall purchasing of winter goodn. "The scarcity of eggs and the high prices on trie**e articles of household necessities should cause some enter? prising persons to go into the poufty business In order to supply the de? mand for auch products," said a bus? iness msn today. The cement walks In front of the Court House are almost completed. A pavement haa been put down on Main street In fr >nt of the building, also, which adds much to the appearance of the property. The sewerage work has been com? menced on Ellerbe street and la pro greasing nicely. There has been osme trouble with the work on account of the dirt caving In on the excavations which la due to the sandy aoil In this section of the city. The Olbson trsln brought In Its us ual^larg** load of shoppers Satur? day. This train Is a great feeder for the Sumter marketa for every Satur? day It 1? crowded with people from Rlshopvflle. Lucknow, Elliotts, St. Charles and varloua other points, which goes to show the Importance and far-reaching activities of Sumter as a trading centre. Lar?Te numbers come In, also, from the Dalsell section on Saturdays. In fact, the trains on all the runs Into Sumter bring In great lods of purchasers, on Satur? day mornings especially. The sub-committee of the Court House dedication exercises will give a dinner to the invited guests and the members of the Sumter bar Just after the exercises of the day are over. The cott?>n warehouse is gradually filling up with cotton, but it Is coming In small lots And there is room for much more. The fact that cotton comes In small lots indicates that the small farmers are the ones who are holding for higher prices, and ac? cording to common report they ore the only ones who are In a position to patronise the warehouse. It Is said that a grent many of the larger farmers sold their crop for October and November delivery early last spring, and In consequence* they can? not take advantage of the opportunity the warehouse affords them to store their crop for higher prices. SHOOTING ON SATURDAY LAWHEXCH wagoman shot DIC K (iOODM.W, COLORED. I The Defendant Was Acquitted Today in Rcaaaaai'i court of 'Carrying OoMfUfd Weapons?The Negro is Sam la be Recovering Without Se? rious Injury. L. E. Wagoman. white, aged 19, shot and seriously wounded Dick Goodman, colored, Saturday after? noon In the back lot of the beer dis? pensary'. Goodman, who was drunk, attacked Wagoman's father, and af? ter striking him once or twice drew a knife and was advancing on the elder Wagoman, buUthe young man came up Just at this time and at once open? ed fire on the negro. The first and only shot fired put Goodman out of business. The bullet passed through ..:e banii in which the.lttUfe w;?j held and into Goodman's chin. The ball has not been found, but the wound is not believed to be fatal. Wagoman was arrested by officer Barwick and committed to Jail. The negro was attended by Dr. C W. Maxwell, the colored jhysiclan, whose office was near at hand. Later he was taken to the Sumter? Hospital. It was reported Sunday that he was not dangerously wounded and would recover, the only serious result being that the Jaw bone would probably be nadly injured in removing the bullet. Young Wagoman was released from Jail on Sunday afternoon, having fur? nished bond in the sum of $300, which was required by City Recorder' Purst. Today at 11 30 the case was h'tard before Recorder Hurst and a Jury was empaneled to hear the test? imony. I* D. Jenninga, Esq., repre? sented the defendant. The charge against Mr. Wagoman by the city was the carrying of concealed wear. ones. ! w After hearing the evidence produc? ed, and an argument by Attorney Jen? nings, the Jury withdrew and in a few infinites returned with a verdlot of 'not guilty." This settles the case u* far as the city Is concerned. i Local Cotton Market. - / ? Receipts today about 100 bales. Good middling, 11 1-4 cents. Some Dress (ikMxb* Values.
