He got up on the run and quickly aroused bis father and securd a shot gun.

The first primary will be held on Tuesday, August 25th. The rules of the Democratic party provide that only du'y enrolled members of legally organized Democratic clubs shall vote in the primary. The rules also re? quire that the club rolls shall c ose five days from the first primary. The club rolls will clowe, therefore, next Thursday, and those who do not en? roll before that day cannot vote in the primary. - o i ? President Baldy, of Coker College, who spent the day in the city, states that the officers of the College have decided to offer one scholarship, good for the full four year course, for each county In the State. The scholarship is good for tution only. The scholar? ships will be awarded upon the rec? ommendation of the County Superin? tendent of Bducation. -o County Chairman John H. Clifton has been requested to call the Exe? cutive Committee together and take under consideration a petition to p ace an extra box at each polling precinct, In which ballots for and against the repeal of the lien law may be deposited. When the city sets up a police pa? trol wagon the business of the Re? corder's Court should boom. A ride in this Black Maria wi 1 be worth the price of admission to the 12 o'clock matinee. The assertion that Sumter county will give Cole L. Blease a majority is too preposterous to merit serious con? sideration. It is a fact, however, that Is confessed with shame and humilia? tion that he will receive a larger num? ber of votes than he ought to re? ceive. There Is no enthusiam over Mr. Ansel's candidacy, but a majority of Sumter Democrats will vote for him nevertheles. An election Is to be held In the near future in School District Xo. 11, to de? cide whether a high school sha'l be established in connection with the General Sumter Memorial Academy, o The county campaign meetings in thl? city Friday night and Saturday should be well attended. The voters should turn out to hear the candidates explain their views on the issues of the campaign. -o The office building of Mark Rey no'ds, Esq., and Haynsworth & Hayns wnrth, on Law Range, Court House Square, Is going up rapidly. The Supervisors of Registration have issued certificates to 1585 quail fled electors. -o The books of registration are still >pen at the Court House, and there Is still time for all citizens to qualify and exercise their rights of suffrage. i e The corn crop in Sumter county is said to be almost as good as last year's crop, which was a record breaker. The sewerage system is nearer com? pletion than the average citizen real? ises and there is foundation for the hope that the western section will be turned over to the city before Christ? mas. o The clay-sand, roadway on Manning avenue between the railroad and the city limits has received much needed attention. The mud-holes that were rapidly destroying an excellent road we.y have been filled and the road is once more In good condidtlon. There are several other streets that stand In need of like repairs. ? ? o The city has a fine crop of corn and the promise of a prodigious yield of peavlne hay from the city farm at the pumping station. The mosquito pest is becoming a serious matter in Sumter. Fifteen years ago there was scarcely a mos oulto net in town, for they were not needed, while at present, it Is impossi? ble to sleep except under a net. -o-? Mr. W. E. Rrunson has the city up a tree and If he persists in demanding relief the city will have to oomph with the demand. His residence lies with the demand. His resident lies within one-half mile of the pumping Station, hence he is forbidden to con? struct a cess p<n?| or dry well as a n ? ans of disposing of the sewerage from bis premises. The sewerage sys t? m Which is now being constructed by the city at a c<?st of exceeding $li?i?. 000 doei noi extend as far oul as Mr. Brunson's residence on North Main Htreet; and, it i1- stated, there is no provision in the plans for It ever to be extended that far <>ut?the North Main street sewer now terminating at the corner of Live Oak utreet. Clt Isens and taxpayers, residing on North Main street between Live Oak street am) the limits, and in that vicinity are t iur debarred from enjoying any of t benefitM of the sewerage system, and tht re Is no proapeel of their hav jlng this privilege extended to them al any time In the near future. Never Ithelsss if Mr. Branson persists in de? mantling relief city co be forced to do something. <<on and other citizens sim ted should, keep their d< ore council, for by so doing i t.h ers may in time be c hat the drainage of Saratov is not the most important public work that is to be done. STOKE ROHHEH ARRESTED. Willie Michau Robbed the W. G. stuhbs Habet dashcry La>t Week. On Friday night last, the W. G. Stubbs Haberdashery was entered by a burglar who stole about four dol? lars in small change from the cash register and a considerable quantity of shoes, hats and other furnishing goods. The police were informed of the robebry, but an effort was made to keep the matter quiet until the case could be worked up and the burglar arrested. Yesterday Willie Michau, one of the most notorious and persistent criminals with whom the police have had to deal In recent years, was arrested on suspicion. He was wearing a pair of the stolen shoes when taken into custody. He claimed to have purchased the dhoes from Willie Morrison, another chain gang bird, so the nets were set for Morrison and he was gathered in to? day. Morrison tells a stralghter story than Michau, and besides denying knowledge of the robbery says he can prove that he was in Columbia Fri? day night. Michau says he bought the shoes from Morrison In Florence Friday night, but Michau was here Friday night until after all the trains for Florence had left the depot. All the circumstances indicate that Mi? chau committed the robbery unassist? ed, and it is probable that he will be sent up for the longest term he has yet served. FIRE SUNDAY MORNING. House of D. J. Diggs Totally Destroyed at an Early Hour. The home of D. J. Diggs, colored, situated at the corner of Bartlett and Council streets, was burned Sunday morning at 3:30 o'c'ock. The fire had been burning some? time before It was discovered and the alarm given, and when the hose wa? gons arrived the whole house was In tlames and was soon burned down. Practically nothing was saved from the house,, the piano being the most valuable article saved. The house, which was new and worth about $1, 300, was insured for $800. The house hold goods and furniture were in? sured for $500, while the loss on the articles is estimated at $1500. Diggs was married only a short time ago. and all of his wedding presents were destroyed. The origin of the fire has not been positively determined, but it is sup? posed to have been due to a defective kitchen nut. Florence i#re|>ares to Hold Fall Fes? tival. Florence is going to have a two days festival this year, and expects to give her visitors just as much pleasure as can well be crowded into these two days. The fall festival will be held Wed? nesday and Thursday. Sept. 2 and 3. Arrangements have been made for cheap rates on all roads from all points within a radius of 100 miles. A special train will be run on Wed? nesday from Wadesboro and all points, returning after the fun is over Wed? nesday night. The first day will be taken up with trades display, horse show, with la? dies' and gentlemen's riding and driv? ing contests in which the best horses in the State will be entered and valu? able prizes offered, baseball between two fine teams and other entertain? ments, if* The special features on Thursday will be grand military, parade and >ham battle, baseball and races, horse and automobiles at the new driving park, which will be the biggest and beat race meet held In this section of the State. There will be exciting auto races on the wide tracks, two or pos? sibly three machines starting abreast on 'i 45 foot wide track. There will be frequent band con? certs each day, with a poultry and pet Stock show at which valuable prizes will be offered and every owner of chickens is Invited to enter. There will be many attractions, be BAGGING AND T-I-E-S. T| HE indications are that we will have an I early cotton crop and '.consequently a very early demand for bagging and ties* which we are prepared to meet, as we have already received large shipments of these ma? terials. The price of bagging is much lower than it was last year, and we do not think any farmer can make a mistake in anticipating his wants, on a basis of the present market, for it is practically certain that based upon the present prospective demand they .will not be any cheaper, and may gc considerably higher. We buy this class of goods from first hands, and we are in a position to meet all legitimate competition. Our ties come direct from the Pittsburg Steel Co., and "v. our bagging from the factories that make it OUR OFFERINGS CONSIST OF FROM 1 3-4 to 2 1-4 lbs. in Weight New Jute Bagging, Second Hand Jute Bagging New Sugar Sack Bagging New Arrow Ties. W e do not handle piece ties at all,as we find that they are not satisfactory. Our second hand Jute bagging should interest ginners when they do the gin? ning and furnish the bagging and ties for a consider-1 ation. It is about 2 cents per yard cheaper than the other, and will make a satisfactory covering.

Florence^ has always taken good care of her visitors and will do so again this year. Since the heavy rains the mosqui? toes have been unusually numerous in this city.
