Htm?* of Interest Gathered in anil Around the City. + _ Special attention Is called t-> the ad. of O'Donnell A Cd. They are of? fering bargains In order to make room for their fall arrivals. The many Sumter people who at? tended the Darlington celebration had a pleasant and enjoyable time In spite of the weather. Darlington was certainly a wet town the pant few days. The firemen while winning no prises, made a creditable showing, and did not fall in the class of also rans. The suggestion has been made by a liberal and big hearted citizen that fund be raised by public subscriptions to assist Mr. R. C. Tlsdale to replace the two horses and mule that were killed by lightning a few days ago. The loss of the antmf ls was a very heavy loss to Mr. Tlsdale and leaves him in a very serious predicament with hla farm work practical at a standstill. 0 The annual Fourth of July dance at Providence Springs yesterday was. as usual attended by many young people from the surrounding coun? try, thla city and elsewhere, was greatly enjoyed by all. Candidates for county offices will Uake due notice of the assessments levlded by the executive committee .and govern themselves accordingly. The plumbers Who have contract* to make ho use connections with th* sewer and do other work In their line of business are rosing time and mon? ey by the delay in reaching a decision In reference to the acceptance of the Eastern section. Between the sew? erage commission,, the sewer ige en? gineer, City Council and the Board of Health it ought to be possible tr> arrive at some conclusion. If the sewerage system as completed Is not satisfactory the defects should be lo? cated and Immediate steps taken to remedy the trouble. -o It Is stated that the Penn Lumber Co. will shut down Its mill for sev eral weeks. Mr. J. F. Jenkins has been awarded the contract to install the heating and plumbing fixtures In the United States postoffice and court house at Ocala. Fla. This Is quite a big contract, and Mr. Jenikns will begin work on It within the next thirty days. He will give It his personal attention.?Elber ton. Ga.. Star. Mr. Jenkins Is a Sumter boy and his frends here will he pleased to know that he Is prospering In his adopted home In Georgia. James Edwards, colored, who was arrested several days ago on the charge of stealing and selling a bicy? cle owned by Mr. J. H. Chandler, ap? peared before Recorder Hurst today and waived a preliminary hearing. Ht was remanded to Jail for trial at the next term of court In default of ball. The Rock Hill Herald states on the authority of Manager Caldwcll that while he himself made no pro test against Umpire Leo Miller, the Chaster association did enter a pro test This Is news to us, but in thr circumstances Is not disputed. All that thr writer knows about the mat? ter la that Miller has a very compli? mentary letter from Manager Cald well In reference to his work as an umpire. Sumter Is not contending and has never contended for the ap? pointment or retention of Miller or any other umpire. Any umpire from anywhere who knows his business and will give all the teams a square deal will be acceptable to Sumter. But It seemed strange that Milter, who was giving satisfaction to the managers of a majority of the teams should have been dismissed and a Jokelet like Matthews put In his place. Harmony within the league may be more desirable than a com? petent umpire, hence no effort has been made by Sumter to have Miller reinstated. MARRIED. Mr. Vivian Mordaunt Moses and Miss Mary Elizabeth Mcllravey were married Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Altamont Moses, the mother of the groom. The bride Is from New York city and Is the daugh? ter of the late Andrew and Elizabeth Mcllravey of Washington, Conn.

He h* * steadily risen In his line of work and now he Is editor of the People's Magazine, and Gunters' Magazine. Mr. and Mrs. Moses |afl on the af? ternoon train for Charleston, whence they will sail for New York OH the Clyde Haar Aigom-uin. Friday, The wedding ceremony was per? formed by Major Marlon Molse. only th? Immediate family and relatives being present. ICK RAILROAD COMMISSION EH. I beg to announce my candidacy for re-election to the office of ltail roud Commissioner. I am making my campaign not in promises as to what I will do, but on what I have done. Those who have had business with the railroad commission will testify that I have ever been ready to dis? charge the duties of my office fear? lessly, Impartially, and to the best In? terests of the people of South Caro? lina, afed that I have always been courteous to those desiring informa? tion and relief. I am the only railroad commission? er who has moved his residence to olumblt to be in daily touch with the work of the office. During my term of office I have In pected personally every line of rail? road In the State, often walking cross-ties that I might be assured that the condition of the roadbeds and trestles were safe. I have been often In every county In South Carolina, looking Into the conditions of stations, and improving the conveniences of the traveling public I have stood for lower freight and passenger rates, better schedules, and safer modes of travel. The handsome majority you gave me formerly has always been appre? ciated, and has been an Incentive to a faithful performance of my duties. I hope to have your support In the coming election, and shall strive to ever render you faithful service. Respectfully, Banks L. Caughman. 7-8*8-11 A Cool Concoction for Summer Days. A most refreshing drink for warm days is cold, freshly-made tea. sweet? ened with orange syrup acidulated with lemon juice. It is Irresistibly delicious when topped off with a spoonful of ice cream and served im? mediately with Nabisco Sugar Wa? fers. These dainty Sugar Wafers are the unfailing resource of every hos? tess and those responsible for house? hold management. As they set the fashion In style and make-up, so do Nabisco Sugar Wafers set the stand? ard of excellence by which other wa? fers can be judged. Negro Tries to Kill Himself. Greenville.
