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.

I The Defendant Was Acquitted Today

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.

After hearing the evidence produc?

infinites returned with a verdlot of
'not guilty." This settles the case u*
far as the city Is concerned.
