The cost of the new court house and the actual debt both bonded and floating, of Sumter county, will bei discussed in the primary this summer. Some folks think they can make an Issue of the court house. ! The Broadaxe, the new prohibition organ, of wich Mr. Joel E. Brunson is editor and' Mr. E. F. Miller, man- I ager, made its apperancs Wednesday, ft Is to be a militant publlcatira to battle against the dispensary system and the liquor traffic generally. > County Treasurer Loe had a busy I day Saturday, as there was a ru?h of I taxpayers who had put off to the last minute the payment of their dues to I the Stats and county. He wrote a large number of receipts and received all told a little more than $1,000. The I total receipts to date have bet a. about! tn* shmc as-last year. " I A dog licensed** ordinance may] be unoonetltutlonal and unenfOtytraW, j but there ought to be some MB^jjfcr I vised to prevent dogs running ?vi I large on the streets. Yesterday noon ten dogs were counted within] the space of a half block on one] street and threcr others were In sight I from the corner. This Is just a lit-I tls too much dog. I There seems to be less Interest In the approaching municipal election than there has been in a similar event! In years. Mayor Boyle, who will stand for re-election. Is the only candidate mentioned In connection with the of- I flee. No candidates have been an nounced for aldermen and none arc generally talked of as probable as-1 plrants. It Is thought that a majority I )f the present aldermen will offer for re-election, but no authorative state-1 ment to that effect has been made. ' | , Mrs. T. B. Reynolds, of N oth Main street, has a hen that must be re mot el y related to, if not descended from, the ostrich tribe, judging from, the eggs she lays with commendable regularity. The most recent speci? men of this hen's fruit weighed four ounces and measures 2 3-4 inches in length. These bo facts, not street corner gossip, for It Is a matter of too serious moment to be received and published on hearsay. The egg is here to testify for Itself. ' It may be that some citizens of Sumter do not fully understand that ihey will not be permitted to vote in the municipal primary unless they enroll their names with Secretary 11. A. Moses, of the city Democratic ex? ecutive committee. Only those who ptrsona'.ly apply for enrollment will have their names entered on the club rod and only those whose names ap? pear on the certified club roll, which will be used as the poll list for the primary, will be permitted to vote. This Is said to be art iron ciad ruki and those who neglect to enroll will find It too late to kick up a dust on the day of the primary. \ * ? Th> case of the State vs. the pro? prietors of the Dixie Cafe was taken up before ,lt*ai?irate VWlla Monday morning, but It did not come to trial and a date for the trial had not been fixed at noons L. D. Jennings hat been '.oraged to prosecute the case by Mr. James Henry Rice, the a&ent of the Audubon Society, and I. C. Strauss will appear for the defense. Ths reason the case did not comi to trial Monday was that the defendants had not been formally arrested on a war? rant, that they claimed that they eould not . go to trial until a material witness could be brought from Wil? mington, N. C, and that they de? mended a trial by jury. \ The Dixie Cafe proprietors were fined $12.60 for exposing partridges to.- salt and the fine w.w paid The bill permitting the Sinking Fund Commission to lend $15,01)0 to Sumter county having been passed by the legislature, the construction of a syst' hi of gi od roads |a this county mould begin in the near futvire. The greatest obstacle to be overcome Is the lack of suitable material f jr con? structing roads of a permanent and lasting character. Sand and clay make an excellent road, but a sand clay road is but temporary and dete? riorates rapidly and requires constant att'-ntlon if it is to be maintained in good condidtion. Mr. J. H.

Levy, Jr., has been in the employ of the firm for several years and his admission as a member of the firm Is a well merited recognition of the value of his ser? vices. j Harvey Thomas, a hackman, was be? fore the rrecordcr Saturday to answer the charge of failure to keep an en? gagement and . thereby causing a pas? senger to miss a train. As a defense Thomas ret up the claim that he mis? understood the order and did call for the passenger at the. time he1 un? derstood he was wanted. After hear? ing the evidence the recorder decided that the defense was not made out and Thomas was required to pay a fine of $1, this being his first of? fense. The Are department ?vas called out Thusrday night about 8.30 o'clock to extinguish a fire at the house ?rf An? drew H. Dibble on South Mam street. The flames had gained little headway before discovery and the prompt measures taken to extinguish th-jm by Dibble* and his neighbors and the quick response of the firemen ro the alarm prevented any serious damage. The owner of the house, Ar.drvw H. Dibble, asks that his thanks be ex? tended to the firemen and others who assisted him in extinguishing the flames and saved him from scrlou3 loss The indestructibility of matter, one of the great laws of nature, was exemplified today, when Mr. Samuel W*. , Olllesple rode through Main street In his touring car "Betsey," which haa "the best engine of any automobile In Sumter."

Es The home of the Mliscs Hughaon on Broad street had a narrow escape from destruction by Are Thursday morning. While the family were at breakfast their attention was at? tracted to the presence of smoke in th'i house and when an investigation was made, it was found that a pi!e of kindling lying on the hearth had been ignited by a blazing pieoo of wood rolling out of the fire place, and this had set fire to the mantelpiece. The names were quickly extinguished be? fore serious damage was done, but the walls of the room were badly dis? colored by smoke. This morning about 9.SO o'clock the Are department wus called out by an alarm sent in frcm the corner of Church and Broad streets. Arriving on the scene the firemen fotn.d that a small fire was burning between the celling and roof of the residence of Gen. R. N. Richbcrg A line of hose was stretched int t the bouse und in less than two minutes the fire wae ex? tinguished. The damage done w?t* not serious. Before^.the firemen ar? rived a portion of tho furniture bad been removed from th* house as ap? pearances indicated that the fire would be a hard and stubborn propo? sition for the firemen to handle. BEST OF PROOF. That Hyomet WU1 Cure All Forms Catarrhal Diseases. Testimonials could be printed hp the thousand, many of them from Sumter and nearby towns, saying that Hyomei absolutely cures catarrhal troubles.

Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its formula is freely given to physicians? who want to know what they are us? ing when they : prescribe, Hyomei.
