Grady, of the Sumter police force has placed his resignation In the hands of Chief of Police Brad? ford, the resignation to be effective Monday, June 15th. Nelly Qay, colored, was shot through the fleshy part of the thigh about 10.30 Monday night at the house of Joele Wells on East Hamp? ton avenue. The police were notified of the shooting and an Investigation was made, but nothing was learned beyond the fact of the shooting. The woman said that a "tall colored gen? tleman with a straw hat on came in. asked for a drink of water and a cigarette and then shot me." She denied acquaintance with the man saying she had never seen him before. The* police don't believe her story, but are convinced she is trying to shield the man who shot her. . ? _ l 1 o I Mr. Eugene Stanslll, while practicing with the hose wag? on racing team Saturday afternoon, had his right ankle broken.

The withdrawal of the band from the service has been under consideration for some months, but the decision to v.'lthdraw at this time was not reach? ed until last week, and. Col. Thomp? son was then notified. The with? drawal was determined upon on ac? count of the fact that the band could not stand the expense Incident to the annual encampments. The band re? ceived a small appropriation from the State, but the expense that the encampment entailed was much greater than the amount received. The benefits derived from being the regimental band were hot sufficient to cover the cost that the band had to pay for the honor, and henoe the withdrawal. The bund will be main? tained at Its present high standard, and being relieved of the expense of attending the annual encampment of the Second regiment j*yi be In better financial condition than heretofore. ??"' ' ? 1 f 'e?W'J S" ? \ AN APPEAL TO REASON. Dr. C. ? C. Brown Besought to Stand Forth as the Sane, Sa,?e Champion of the Doge. .... V ' Frof the Dally Item, June -IS. Mr. Bditor: Reading Dr. Brown's pathetic story of the faithful dog, Leo, In this afternoon's Item leads us to wonder that the worthy doctor has not seemed to see In the IncMent a potent, If not the most potent, reason why the dog question should be taken hold of and handled In a sane and practical manner. As long as gen? uine cases of hydrophobia do occur ?and the reports printed In the same issue of your paper coming from high government authority in Washington would Indicate that they are not al? together Infrequent?and as long as self preservation is the first law of nature and human instinct and per? ception not infallible, so long are in? nocent dogs in various circumstances liable to come under suspicion and cause a hpdrobhobla fright or panic? call It what you may?that will re? sult in Its own destruction as well as In the wholesale extermination of other Innocent animals, as in the j Greenwood case, also related in you issue of same date. Dogs of the Leo type need pro? tection. Cannot our friend, the doc? tor, be induced to be their champion Indeed by recognizing that such a thing as hydrophobia does exist and that possibly hydrophobia in dogs Is easier combated than what he terms "canopla" in people.

I* Never Positively Decided That Horse Had Glanders?Mr. Cuttlno Had it KH!*| Hather Than Run Any Risk ol Kcei 'Tig; a Horse With Suspicious i Symptoms. ' 1 ose horse was kille?, last wee] e it had a dis? ease rest: ers in some re? spects, states tie has heard noth? ing further from J ?r. E. Barnett, the assistant veterinarian of Clemson Col- I lege, who was here last Friday and examined the horse. Dr. Barnett1 stated when here that while some of the symptoms Indicated glanders the diagnosis was not positive and that a careful laboratory examination of a sample of the horses blood would have to be made to determine the na? ture of the disease. He told Mr. Cut? tlno, however, that the case was a suspicious one and advised strict iso? lation of the horse. Mr. Cuttlno after thinking over the matter decided to have the horse killed and this he did without waiting to hear from Dr. Barnett. He did not care to run the risk of keeping a horse that might have glanders, which was, in the cir? cumstances, the wisest course to pursue, for glanders is a very infec? tious and dangerous disease. It should alexkvpe stated that it was at Mr. Cut tino's request that Dr. Barnett was asked to come here and examine the horse, and that before Dr. Barnetfs arrives the horse had been isolaied and from the time the first symptoms of diease were observed precautions were taken by Mr. Cuttlno to keep the horse away from .other live stock. STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION. One of the Most Interesting Sessions Ever Held. The local dentist who attended the annual meeting of the State associa-' tion at Columbia, Drs. Haynsworth, Weinberg, Du Rant, and Dick, return? ed last night and report that the meet? ing was the most successful ever held In South Carolina. A rising vote of appreciation was given Dr. T. T. Moore, Jr., the retiring president, and his co-workers for their untirinc efforts which brought about such a culmination. All arrangements were perfect, to the most minute detail. Drs. Brooker, Stanley Quattlebaum, Boozer, Gllmore, Pike, Lindsay, and In fact the entire Columbia contin? gent of the association, were constant? ly in evidence with business arrange? ments complete and Interspersing the social feature lavishly. Dr. E. J. Estrldge, of Leesvllle, the newly elected president stands high among his fellow practitioners all over the State. He will doubtless see to It that the next meeting will be I equally Instructive and .pleasant. THE ELKS' CONVENTION. A Pleasant But Not a Large Gather? ing of Carolina Elks. I From the Dally Item, June 12. The Annual State Convention of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks opened Thursday with a social ses? sion in the club rooms of Sumter Lodge, B. P. O. E. Music was fur? nished by, Prof. Schumacher's or? chestra and the Italian Band of the carnival company. Other features of the informal programme were speech? es by local and visiting Elks. Among thoae who made talks were Messrs. Dean, McCutchen, Huger, Mr. Spitzer, of the Theatorlum, sang a number of songs in his own Inimitable manner. Through the courtesy of Mr. Abbey, manger of the Lyric theatre, Pat Crawford was "loaned" so to speak, to add to the evening's entertainment. As an entertainer he proved himself away above the average performer that uses the burnt cork. His Shake? spearian joke was especially good, on a whole, his line of talk, parodies, etc., was the hit of the evening. The weather permitting there will be a fish fry at First Mill tonight. Although the ' convention was scheduled to convene yesterday, very few EIk* errived until last night, but those wh.> came in on the evening trains an* the arrivals this morning swelled the crowd materially and the meeting is proving a very pleasant af? fair. From the Daily Item, June 13. The business session of the annual Stats Convention of the Order of Elks was held yesterday with a good at? tendance of Elks from all parts of*| the State. All busiriess before the meeting was promptly disposed of and after the election of officers the convention adjourned. The following officers were elected: President, G. L, Ehrlch, George? town; first vice president, T. M. Rog? ers, Florence; second vice president, Geo. D. Levy, Sumter; third vice president, J. P. Doyle, Orangeburg. Executive committee. J. H. Cunning? ham, Sumter, A. H. McCall, Florence, ar. 1 Chas. Pelham, Newberry. The secretary and treasurer will be* ap? pointed by the president and execu? tive committee, who will also later announce the place of the next meet Inf. STOCK DISAPPEARING OUR shelves are getting; bare but we do not intend that they shall re? main so. As long as we can sell goods, we feel that it is our duty to buy them, and we have now in transit new lines of goods in every department to fill up vacant spaces. NEW LINE OF WHITE GOODS 12 1-2 cent Values at 9 cents. NEW LINE OF WASH GOODS At Very Much Reduced Prices. We thought we had bought enough em? broideries to last us until Spring, but if we sold everything like we do this class of goods, mercantile lite would be a bed of roses. It must be due to the Superiority of Our Styles, the Variety of Our Stock, and the price no doubt has something to do with it too. NURSES SUITINGS?-54 ,NCHES W,DC AT 12 I 2 CENTS.

All of the visiting Elks, the members' of Sumter Lodge and a few invited guests attended. An elegant fish supper was served and the occasion was one of the most successful and enjoyable of the entertainments ar? ranged for the Elks by Sumter Lodge. Naval officers* wives who follow the ships often make collections of curios. In the main hall of Mrs. Robley D. Evans* home is a bsass Im? age of the sitting Budha, almost four feet high. This formidable-looking god rests, cross-legged, on the modern steam radiator. It seems a fitting throne and he really does not appear to mind the heat at all. The idol was given to Rear Admiral Evans by Mr. Conger, then our minister In Chi? na,, and no other spot in the Rvans home seems as fitting a throne as the brass heater. See M. B.
