OL'K Sl'MMEHTON LETTER, Summerton Is LTp-to-l>ate?Has o Case of Pellagra?Col ton Prices to The Limit?Business Houses Put? ting In Improvements. Summerton, Sept. 23.?The usual equinoctial gales were felt here In the modified condition of still breezes, but no blow sufficient to cause fears of a storm reached our favored sec? tion. The Autumnal Equinox was, however, accompanied by a percepti? ble cool change, which served as a reminder of the actual arrival of the fall season. At this busy season the scientific truth of equal day and night seems rather delusive, for in fact not many care to enjoy that privilege at present. On the con? trary If the 12 1-2 cent cotton Is maintained much longer our farmers and laborers will wish to reduce night to Its minimum length. Yes? terday and also this morning the above price Is being paid freely on the local market. Receipts here are still very heavy and bid fair to break all previous records for September. Mr. J. R. Eadon, who deals exten? sively In general merchandise, has re? cently installed some of the well known "Kltson" lights in his store. The Summerton Mercantile Co. has Just purchased an up-to-date adding machine, which will be quite a valu? able acquisition In carrying on their office work. We are always glad to find that Summerton keeps pace with other towns In improvements and novelties, and often to our sorrow we hear of the presence of some of the new? fangled diseases, as for instance the report this morning that Dr. L. C. Stukes has pronounced a case of pel? lagra a few miles from town. Prof. Hand of the University of South Carolina lectured in the school auditorium on last Friday evening. Prof. Hand Is a very interesting lec? turer, and In advocating a high school department for our graded schools he has found a subject which should be given some con-dderatlon. Miss Mabel Harper, of Klngstree, who has served here previously in the school department of our graded sohool, has been elected to teach mu sic this session. Mr. W. B. Upshur, general agent for the Security Life & Annuity Co., of Greensboro, N. C, is in town tt - day. Mr. \V. H. Anderson, who has spent the summer here, returned this week to West Point, Miss., where he will again represent the J. B. Hoist Co. in the cotton market. Mr. T. S. Rogan after spending several months in the mountlins of North Carolina, is at home again, and we regret to hear that he has not improved, as was hoped for by his many friends here. Misses Louise Scarborough and Ada Tennant leave on Saturday for Lynchburg, S. C, to teach in the graded school there. Miss Sprott, of Manning, spent a day or two with Miss Bertha Davis this week. Mr.' Ben Harvin spent yesterday in town. Mr. John Kershaw, Jr., arrived last evening for a short visit before leav? ing for Aiken, where he will spend the winter. , Misses Cora Cantey arid Christine i Coskrey returned this morning to Columbia to attend the Columbia Fe? male College. * The Original Nelson Family With ? Circus. The original Nelson Family, one of the features with the Sells-Floto Shows Consolidated, commence where other acrobats leave off. Thr do feats which can hardly be desei.oed by language and to be appreciated must be seen when the big circus comes. The act is creating a sensation everywhere. No other show has an act of this kind. No other circus will be seen here during the season with a similar act. It can be seen only with the Great Sells-Floto Shows Consoli? dated, Sumter, October 6. Recorder's Court. There were only two ca;es for trial in the Recorder's Court Tuesday. Wash Usher was found guilty of public drunkenness and cursing the officer who arrested him. The sen? tence was $5 or 10 days on each count. James Thomas was fined $2 for violating the ordinance for the regu? lating public hacks. j W. J. Anderson, a bridegroom of a few weeks, was arrested in Chester county on the charge of marrying a girl under the age of 16 years. WHOLE STATE MOURNS. GOV. JOHNSON S BODV LIBS IN MINN BSOTA CA PITOL. Great Crowds Accompany Hcniaiiis and Mu'et Funeral Train 1.11 Route to St. Paul. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 21.?One of the most remarkable tributes ever paid to the memory of a public man in Minnesota was accorded the late Gov. Johnson toiay. From the hour that the governor's death was first publicly announced by tolling bells in Rochester, all un? usual public activity was abandoned. All banks, stores and offices were closed and buildings were draped in black and purple crepe. Gov. Johnson's body was escorted to a special train for St. Paul by a throng of citizens from every walk of life. On the train were Mrs. John? son, a few of her personal friends, State officers and friends of the late governer. As the cortege passed down the street leading to the rail? way station the escort lined up on either side with bared heads and the hundreds of people around the depot showed a like respect. Mayor Thomp? son had proclaimed it a day of public mourning. The mayor and council men acted as pallbearers. All the way along the route to St. Paul Hags were at half mast and buildings draped with crepe. At Zombrota the entire population of the town seemed to be at the sta? tion. A touching feature was the ap? pearance of a large number of school children lined up along the platform, each provided with the national col? ors pofnted downward. Similar re? ceptions were accorded the special train at other points along the route. At St. Paul the train was met by detachments of all the local com? panies of the National Guard and an eacort of police. In spite of a heavy downpour of rain the procession to the State capitol with the militia act? ing as escort was witnessed by thou? sands of people. At the capitol the body was placed in the rotunda where it will lie in i state until tomorrow afternoon, guarded by four sergeants, four cor? porals and four privates. Tomorrow afternoon the ReV. J. J. Lawler, chaplain of the governor's staff, will conduct services in the cap? itol. Thursday the body will be tak? en to St. Peter, where final services will be held under Presbyterian. au? spices, with the Rev. R. E. Clarke, in charge. Interment wil be in the Hello! Hello!
