Stuckey of Statehurg Wants Relief From Blind Tigers. From The Dally Item, March 11. Mr. T. S. Stuckey, of the High Hills of the Santee, is in town today. He is an ardent advote of the rural police for Sumter county. He wants some relief from the blind tigers which operate in his section, also from worthless negroes killing all the birds and lawlessness in general. He should have relief from the tigers. There is an otllcer of the State now stationed at Sumter whose duty it is to run down tigers. He draws a salary from the State for just that purpose. The tigerism in the High Hills should be reported to him. It is true that some relief is needed in the rural districts, hut the rural citizens must take the matter in their own hands. A senti? ment against selling whiskey must exist just us much as against stealing if the traiTlc is to be put down. So long as the leading citizens will not help the officers of the law catch the tigers so long will the tigers thrive. NOT IX THE RACE. Mr. A. R. Stuckey Will Xot Make the Itace For Ma>or.

March 14.?One might 1 y referring to the calendar ascertain that spring is at hand, but nothing so conclusively demonstrates the fac* as the preparations by our merchants for dry goods and millinery "open? ings.* The accomplished milliner. Miss Gunter to be employed by the Summerton Mercantile Co. arrived yesterday and is now at work open? ing up the new goods. W. R. Cos krey & Co. have made an announce? ment in advance of their spring open ing which conveys prospects of -in up-to-date line of goods to be shown by them this season. Their buyer, Mr. W. A. Avant, has just returned from the Northern markets. Nor are the spring gowns and Faster bonnets the only kind of goods arriving in town, but in corroboration of recent reports the first automobile actually purchased by a Summerton ian was received this week by Mr. C. M. Davis, preside nt of the Summer ton Mercantile Co. Mr. Davis with Mr. IT. A. Rlchbourg, of the Summer ton Live Stock Co. has taken the agency for these machines and has made a good beginning by the pur? chase of his own. The good roads advocates of this section are much pleased with the appointment of Capt. J. A. James of this place to the office of County Commissioner for Clarendon county. There is ample room for improve? ment upon many of the roads in this part of the county, and now that there is a likelihood of numerous au? tomobiles in transit upon them it is more than ever to be hoped that some work may soon be begun. As the day appointed for election of town officers approaches there are to be heard some whisperings as to possible tickets, but so far as is known now no one will oppose Dr. D. O. Rhame lor the Office of Intendant. There are, however, vacancies caused by removals of two of the wardens for the past year, to be lilled. In honor of Miss May McLaughlin, the guest of Miss Bertha Davis, Mrs. T. J. Davis entertained a few frlenla at cards on Wednesday evening. Two tal>les were made up, and several fames of whist ware enjoyed, after which Mrs. Davis served sherbet and ?ake. Those present were: MISSCB McLaughlin, May Davis, Bailie Ander? son, and Mertha l>a\is and Messrs. McClary, Woodley, Morris and Wells. Mr. Wallace Mathis is at home with his bride, having obtained a few days leave of absence from the business college of Atlanta, whv re he has been Studying lor the past two months. Mr. Harry Davis, of Atlanta, is spending the week-end with his fam? ily here. Mr. Harry ib id, of Sumter, agent for the Ford automobile, was in town on Tuesday, he having driven down in the machine sold to Mr. Davis. Miss Crown id" OawegO, S. C, who for several days had been the guesl of Mrs. 1-:. M. Tlsdale, returned to her home on Thursday. A neuro, William Mitchell, was ar r< ted Saturday night, charged with selling whiskey. The recent trials did not get him, and he thought the good work had stopped, lie has found h bis sorrow that it has not Stopped. and it comes tfom pretty good auth? ority that it will not stop till the sell? ing of whiskey is stopped here Somebody is going to land on the g; tig "oefole they know it. Large quantities of cabbage plants have arrived in Sumter within the past week. Somebody intends hav? ing something green to eat. Fully a ear load has been sold in two w eeka. Tilt! Most Popular Car.

In three days they have disposed of two pneumatic tire touring cars and one solid tire auto-buggy. They are or? dering out today a carload of ma? chines. These machines are strictly high grade, being made of the very best material, and are sold it a popu? lar price, touring car, pneumatic tire, complete, delivered $850.00; auto buggy, solid tire, complete, delivered only $31.0.00. 3-12-It Item. It W. S. DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY. The Daughters of the Confederacy met last Tuesday afternoon with Miss Annie Graham. The first part of the meeting was devoted to business, while the latter part was given to social amusements. The Daughters of the Confederacy have relieved the Civic League of caring for the monument on the school grounds In the future the Daughters will have that in charge. Arrangements for memorial day were made. The orator for the occasion was selected, but he has not yet signified whether he will accept or not. At the close of business there was a guessing contest, using the names of Confederate officers. The prize was tied for by Mrs. S. C. Baker and Miss Katherine Mosses. Miss Moses won off the tie, and was awarded the prize. Pisgah Xews Notes. Pisgah, March l f.?Considerable progress was made in farm work this week, and if next week is favorable the work will be well advanced. Oats have grown some in the last few days. The trees are beginning to put forth their spring garb, which shows that winter is passing. I notice a good deal of complaint about the chaingang not working the roads. It is just impossible for the gang to keep in order all the roads in this county, but that people lose slS}ht <?f. The only way to have good roads fast enough is to assist the Su? pervisor, but that people don't s< em to want to do. To attempt to work the roads under the old system Is tim* thrown away. In pulling the tigers in Sumter. the elty did a wise thing. For months it has been known that liquor was sold by the wholesale. The writer heard a man say that be could buy it on Main str.-et in many places, but we did n >t know that the Recorder tried so many cases, about 60, judging from the amount paid for attorney's fees, each case at $15 a piece. Some of the men tried wa rt a surprise to us. Bisgab church bus joined the Ker shaw Baptist Association. The vote in church confer* nee to do so was unanimous. It is alarming to sec in the papers so many suicides. Fast living and a nulck desire to get rich Is one cause. The writer said some time ago that the gigantic fortunes of the North would upset the Southern people and it is doing so. Not only that, but we will go from bad to worst*. Many men considered good have fallen low down, which shows that money is too strong to resist with many people. It I is a poor speclman of a man that a few dollars can turn him crazy or make a rcgue out of him. If money makes thi man-?and it seems so of late then that Settles the ease. So Peary is under tin- hau about getting to the North Pole. He got there more than Cook did. and he is just as big a faker as Cook. Where is the proof that Peary got to the ;o|e mon than Cook did? 1 believe Cook is an honest man, but ignorant in the Cull use of scientific instru? ments so he could locate himself well. Peary says Cook never reached the INiie, i'id he? If so let him prove it. Congress did a wise thing t<> turn him down that line.

It was reported that five children of Mr. Alex. Smith, living near Elloree had been bitten by a dog supposed to have rabies.
