On June 8th the white poodle dog

straige ways, but later the dog tried
to bite her on the arm, the sleeve of
her shirtwaist preventing the skin
from being broken.
Tteterday morning the place on

dog s teeth bad the appearance of
being swollen, and by the advice of a
phynlclan Mrs. Base, scorqpanled by
her husband left for Atlanta tor the

Officer Seth Knight was caleld on
to sm the'* dog mum txv ahoot it if n*o

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. .

Mr. Eugene Stanslll, while
practicing with the hose wag?

had his right ankle broken. The
accident occurred when he jumped
from the step of the wagon while the
team was racing at full speed. The
Injury Is quite serious and painful,
both bones being broken just above
the ankle Joint. One of the bones
was forced through the flesh, making
a severe laceration. The broken bones
were i set within a few minutes after
the;accident and while he is suffering a

The Second Regiment Band has
withdrawn from the South Carolina
militia service and will hereafter not
be known as the Second Regiment
Band, but as the Sumter Band. 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.

\ 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.

THE CASE OF GLANDEHS.
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

tendance of Elks from all parts of*|

We thought we had bought enough em?

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.

The social side of the convention,
which was the most important am.
most pleasant of the gathering of
Elks, was brought to a close with a
Ash fry at First Mill last night. 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

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.
