Murray, mho fled from South Carolina three years ago with a penitentiary sentence of tmee years and a fine of $250 hang? ing over him. It Is expected that Mur? rey will make a bitter fight against extradition, but as the State of South Carolina is demanding his return and is backing the fight that will be made to bring him back It is to be expect? ed that Murray will fail In his ef? fort to evade paying the penalty that the law says he shall pay for his crime. ? >n Saturday It looked as if Mur I ?*ay would be permitted tc go free. I Gov. Ansel having declared that the I S'aie would not * ny any of the ex I gogjgtsj of sending a constable to Chl I cago to bring Murray back, and the I county having no authority to do so.

Pref. Ira W. Williams, James Henry Rloe and myself were present and de? livered addressee, giving the farmers soafc information as asked concerning wheat growing and varieties to bo used.

Tried Doth?its Renovating In? fluence. "After 2.200 mile? of motoring, it ia quite refreshing to get upon a bicycle again; at least I found it so," writes a contributor to the Irish Cyclist "After all, for purposes of health or exercise there is no comparison be? tween the cycle and the motor car. The cyclist enjoys all the pleasures of the motorists plus exercise. I can personally testify that to sit in the tonneau of a good car for a whole week 'ain't all lavender.' The posi? tion is too cramped, even in the most comfortable motor, and if there ia rain it is a good way to contract I rheumatism. "The cyclist keeps his blood circu ? lating at such a rate that he avoids this risk?with ordinary caution and a good rub down?no matter how wet the elemnts may be. I can as? sure my readers that it was with feel? ings of real pleasure I got back aga'n to the old despised bicycle. The con? trast was most marked. A good cy? cle ride gave me more real exhilara? tion than the whole 2.000 miles of motoring. It was like a glass of champpagne compared with a bottle of ginger pop. The one produced life and action, while the other was dull and flat from a personal point of view only. The bicycle ride made me. pers? pire, it opened my pores, it enabled me to get rid of some of the avoirdu? pois which one picks up in the ton? neau of a touring car. I admit me toring makes oue eat and sleep, but man being a rational animal wants something more. His whole nature cries out for exercise. Unless he gete a fair amount he must be prepared for a premature end. This is exactly where the bicycle scores, and this is why I never could for a moment en? tertain the belief that motoring would ever oust cycling as a popular hobby. "The pleasure of a good cycle spin ? Vtei a long motoring jaunt is some? thing too subtle for words. It is a stimulant fit for the godd?at least tin* is my experience. It is motion plus exercise, resulting in a phvdcnl "ltness foreign to every moto*- car tear. Try a good run after you have t^en cramped up for a couple of weeks in a car, and if you don't find the bicycle the sweetest thing on earth for getting about, then, blame me for having misled you. Each pastime has its own particular attrac? tion, but there is an indescribable lomething to be derived from a good .'ast cycle run on a fine summer eve? ning that lifts one to the highest pin? nacle of jouyful exhilaration and su? preme pleasure, while, from a health point of view, I am prepared to sub? mit that the exercise of a week's con? sistent cycling is worth more to the individual than 10,000 miles of mo? toring, when the passenger does noth? ing but 'mote.' For this reason I felt glad to be back in the saddle once again." A picture showing the Half Moon, th" boat which Henry Hudson used in his discoveries and explorations, and the Clermont, the first steamboat, as they will appear in the Hudson-Ful? ton Parade, which will start up the Hudson River on September 2f>th, was ihown in this paper Saturday ia the advertisement of The D. J. Chandlei Clothing Co, Hart Schaffner & Marx, manufac? turers of fine clothing, have issued this picture. Their artist visited the reproduction! Of the two historic boats and has shown them in a vivid and interesting picture. The picture shows the passengers on an ocean liner cheering the two odd-looking craft as they plow their way up the rlv.-r. The Half Moon, In the foreground, shows the Dutch sailors returning the cheers in much the same manner as they probably hailed the natives on the island of Manhattan three hundred years ago. The little Clermont, shown in the background, was able in its original form to attain a speed of five miles an hour, according to Robert Fulton, the inventor, with the wind blowing against it all the way when it went up the Hudson River a hundred years ago. completing the first Journey of importance ever performed through the power of a steam-engine. Thursday evening at the Emanuel M. E. church, colored, was solemnized a marriage of Interest. Albert J. Mc Leod, porter of Thf D. J. Chandler Clothing Co., was married to Esther 'Vtt'tee, duughter of H. W. Wal.es, ?. ic of Sumter's most respectable ne? groes. A score or more of white people attended tho marriage, showing the esteem In which the parties are held. The new poatofflce is making slow progress. The foundations were com? pleted several weeks ago and a por? tion of the granite is on the ground. Mr. J. L.
