The Dispensary Opened.
The local dispensary was opened at
6:45 Monday morning and business has
been rushing all day. There was a
crowd around the doors when they
opened and for upwards of two hours
Dispenser Windham and assistants
were kept on the Jump. *
Except among automobillsts the
plan to build a highway to Columbia
does not arouse enthusiasm. A ma?
jority of those with whom the matter
has been discussed are either
Indifferent or opposed to the
undertaking on account of the
intense cost and the large
amount that would have to be spent
In repairs on the roadway through
the swampt and the expense of main?
taining tin- ferry* unless there is g
change In sentiment the Sumter-Co
lumbla enterprise will not be carried
through without u tight.

The supper was served at 9:30, af?
ter which most of the party went out
on the pond on the gasoline launch
that Mr. Cain has for hire.
After the trip around the pond the
crowd assembled in the pavillion and
danced and played several games un?
til about 11 when the chaperones call?
ed a very pleasant evening to a close,

COLLINS WIRELESS TELE?
PHONES.
Representative of Company Has In?
struments in City and is Demon?
strating Their Practical Use to
Those Interested.
Mr. M. L. Kosenwald, of Charlotte,
N. Cm representing L W. Gregory,
sales agent for North and South Car?
olina of the Collins Wireless Tele?
phone Co., is in the city for the pur?
pose of the practical success of the
Collins Wireless Telephone and will |
remain several' days. He has office
room with Mr. J. C. Huger, on the
second floor of the Sumter Clothing
Co., building, at which place he will
be found during business hours. He
will take pleasure In demonstrating
the use of the telephone in a manner
that will convince the most skeptical
that It is possible for the human voice
to be transmitted for great distances
without wires. Mr. Rosenwald says
that wireless telephone systems are
now in every day operation at Port?
land, Me., between Philadelphia and
New York and at a number of other
places. The United States navy de?
partment has equipped the warships
with wireless telephones, while the
Pennsylvania railroad has had its
vessels equipped. Wireless telephony
has passed the experimental stage
and is now becoming a commercial
proposition in competition with the
Bell and Independent telephone sys?
tems depending upon wires for the
tracmisslon of sound.
While Mr. Rosenwald makes no
long distance tests, he demonstrates
very clearly and convincingly that the
Collins instruments transmit speech?
that the spoken word can be heard
as distinctly as over the best Bell or
Sumter telephone, and that neither
distance nor obstructions, such as
wooden or brick walls interfere in the
least with the wireless transmission of
sound.
A Young; Hero.
During the dally bath of two young
sons, ages two and three and one-half,
the mother was suddenly called to
the telephone. On her return she
found them both out of the tub, thor?
oughly excited. Thereupon the older
one exclaimed:
"Harold was about to go down in
the hole, but I got him out, muvver,
I got him out."?The Delineator.
While out walking with her papa
and mama one day, Florence, aged
four, ran some little distance ahead.
As she got near a mule hitched to a
farmer's wagon the animal began to
bray. She wheeled instantly, and run?
ning to her mother as fast as she
could go, said in round eyed aston?
ishment, "Oh, mama , sumtln said
sumfin."?The Delineator.
Mr. J. L. Alnutt, who returned from
New York several days ago, says that
he perfected all arrangements for the
construction of the Sumter Gas
Works and that it will be completed
and In operation well within the time
limit fixed in the franchise granted
by the city.

Liquor Contaminates Charleston Sew?
ers.
Charleston. Auk. 27.?By order of
the Charleston County Dispensary
Board 417 gallons of beer and 97 gal?
lons of whiskey were emptied today
in a sewer at the main dispensary on
east Bay street, being the first of the
lot of confiscated liquor, held for the
prescribed period, and then destroyed
in accordance with the dispensary act.
The beer and whiskey which were de?
stroyed today were seized during the
first week of this month.
While keg beer and all opened bot?
tles of whiskey will be destroyed in
accordance with the act, the goods
which are captured In unbroken j
packages will be sold through the
dispensaries and there is now a lot
of contraband liquor awaiting pur?
chasers. The atock of seh.ed goods is j
estimated to be valued fit between
1J.500 and $2,000, be:ng of the salable
goods which have been seized during
the past few weeks. I
In the lot of go,?os to be place Jon
sale are 60 barre | of export beer of
vcrious brands. The beer will be soid
at about 8 cents u bottle, whor-.vis it
usually retails at from 12 to 15 ecnts
per bottle. There are ten 1ozen bot
''es to a barrel, and it Ii to ne seen
tha'. there Is a good profit coring to
the city and county from this source
alone. I
A lot of liquors are also to be of?
fered for sale. Thi liquor which is to
he sold will be only that in unbroken
pacakages.
The County board will mo^t in a
few days and mak? a\v.irds of con?
tracts for liquors for replenishing the
stock of the dispensaries n.^w much
reduced.
The dispensary constables and the
police raiding squad continue to do
effective work in capturing contra?
band liquors. . Today the constable,
captured 118 gallons near Ten Mile
Hill and the police a case of 25 quarts
from an express wagon.
Miss Chrystal Eastman, who has
been appointed by Gov. Hughes on
the commission to inquire into the
question of the employers' liability
and the causes and effects of unem?
ployed, is the only woman on the
commission. She Is the daughter of
the Rev. S. E. and the Rev. Annie
E. Eastman, Joint pastors of Park
Church, Elmira, N. Y.
Two weeks of as hot, dry weather
as this latitude ever endured have put
the finishing touches on the cotton
crop. The hope of a top crop has been
blighted and the crop is opening pre?
maturely. The prospective yield has
been reduced ten per cent, within the
two weeks.
The dispensary is having a closing
out sale, but there is no intimation
that prices will be cut.
Jacksonville has thrown up the
franchise in the Atlantic League and
the league Is on the ragged edge.
Charleston Almost Dry.
Charleston, Aug. 29.?This has been
the dryOSt Sunday in the history of
Charleston in many years. The heavy
seizures of contraband liquors by the
constables and police during the past
week severely taxed the stock which
the blind tigers carried and many
people were turned down today when
they called for drinks and especially
for Deer. The social clubs were about
the only places where beer was avail?
able and in these places the stock was
not any too large. With the reopen?
ing of the dispensaries tomorrow the
thirsa will be met to some extent.
The school trustees of Aiken coun?
ty have organized an association for
the purpose of bettering the schools
in that county.
