A Committee From firemen of City
In Arranging nn l.lnboratc I*ro
iramni.' for th?> ( niut iiilon anil
Tournament?I*robably a 1 torse
Show at Same Time.
The member* of the local fire com?
pany, especially a committee from
their number are bu*y at work ar?
ranging for the entertainment of the
firemen when they meet here soon.
The date for the meet has not been
ast as yet. but It Is hoped to have It
pulled off some time during May or
the early part of June. The meets
have been held In July heretofore,
and It has always rained. To avoid
the bad weather, an effort will be
maus to have It sooner.
The parade of firemen will be an
?vent of the meet. In this parade
will be the men from all sections of
the State who take their lives Into
their own hand* whenever the fire
alarm is sounded. It Is not known
how many companies will be here,
but there a-111 be a good crowd. The
display of aparatus will also be a fea?
ture.
one day of the meet will be devot
?d to the hand reel contests. These
races are always attended with great
e.x? lten?ent. The men are on their
metal, and the spectators are all ex?
pectation and excitement till the vic?
tor Is announced.
The most exciting event of the
meet will be the hose wagon contests.
These wl!l be held on the last day
of the meet. The Are horses, bred to
fight fire, always attract attention.
There will be some noble animals in
the contest.
One night during the meet a ban?
quet will be given, but this will be an?
nounced later.
One thing that prevents the date
being fixed is the delay on the new
engine house. The tournament will
not be held till that Is completed.
At the next meeting of the Cham?
ber of Commerce tbe matter of hav?
ing a horse show and floral parade
will come up. It Is proposed by some
to hold u.ese during the (Ire tourna?
ment.

LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND
ARE QUALIFIED To VOTE IN
COMING PRIMARY ELECTION*
Effort Will Hi' Mam* to (Jot Executive
Committee to Change Ilule So as to
t sc Club Roll for Voting Instead of
The Registration Hooks.
The Democratic Committee caught
some of the voters of Sumter napping
It seems. There are a few more than
eight hundred registered on the coun?
ty books, and it takes that to be able
to vote in the primary.
It has been the custom in the pri?
mary heretofore to make up a poll
list of all the white people living in
a ward and allowing them to vote
when they would take an oath to sup?
port of the nominee of the party. The
city executive committee changed
ttpat this time and required that all
who vote be qualified electors.
The statute law of the State re?
quires that one prerequisite for quali?
fication in any city or municipal elec?
tion a certificate from the County
Registration Board, and the action of
the executive committee Is only In
conformity to that law.
It is very unfortunate that some,
through their own carelessness failed
to qualify for the election, but they
have no one to blame but themselves.
The effort will be made to get the ex?
ecutive committee to meet and change
the rule and allow all white citizens
to vote. It is hard to say what will
he done. The secretary of the com?
mittee had nothing to say when call?
ed upon this morning. He says that
It is up to those who have a grievance
to make it known. He could not say
what the committee would do.
TOLLMAN'S RECOVERY RAPID.
Ma> Go to Ed gel lc id by End of This
Month.
Washington, March 10.?Senator
Tlllman has made such marked pro?
gress during the Iggt few days that
It is now believed he will be able to
go to Edgeneld before the end of the
present month. His physician, Dr.
Plckford, today said that Senator Tin?
man's recovery up to this time had
heen little short of marvellous, and
that so far as he could see improve?
ment 9hould continue.
While the Senator will be able in
all probability to return home about
the time Indicated, there Is still seri?
ous douht as to whether he will ever
he well enough to again taue bis place
in the senate. That he must have
absolute quiet and rest in order to
prevent another attack of paralysis is
the Injunction of his physicians at
this time.

MAYOR CUES TIE LIMIT.
ONE MAN PINED |16,600 FOR,
BELLING WHISKEY.
Mayor Lee of Spnrtanburg Breaks
the Record In the Cases against
(ieorgc Dearman. Alternative line
More Than 11 Years.
Spartanburg, S. C, March 10.?
In the police court this morning j
George Dearman, a well known young
man about town, was tried on 160
counts of violating the whiskey or?
dinance and was found gully on each
count and sentenced to pay a fine of
$100 in each case or serve 30 days
in each case. His lines aggregated
$16,600, while the prison sentence
aggregated 4,980 days, or a Utile more
than 14 years.
It was the heaviest sentence ever
imposed by a police judge in the Uni?
ted States, being equal to that im?
posed by Judge Landis, a United
States judge, who once soaked the
Standard Oil Company for fines that
reached 29 millions.
The case against Dearman grew
out of a raid made by Lieutenant
Nolen and Privates Merrill and Mc
Abee last night, when the defendant's
home on Wofford street was searched
and 166 pints of liquor were seized.
The liquor, it is said, was found in a
trunk. The police made out a case
against Dearman for every pint of
liquor they found in his house, which
they claim they had a right to do un?
der the city ordinance against storing
liquor.
When the case was called before
Mayor Lee this morning R. A. Han
non appeared for the defendant. The
attorney stated he was ready for trial
and the testimony of the police offi?
cers was heard. After all the evidence
was in Mayor Lee found the defen?
dant guilty in 166 cases and sentenc?
ed him to pay a fine of $100 or serve
30 days in each case. Mr. Hannon
gave notice of appeal and asked that
his client be released on bond, which
was granted, bond being fixed in the
sum of $200. Bail was arranged.
The case will probably be threshed
out In the Supreme Court. The po?
lice claim that If the ordinance umder
which the cases were made out
against Dearman holds good in the
Supreme Court, the police department
will be able to put a stop to the sale
of liquor in Spartanburg.
The case is In many respects one of
the most unique that has ever been
tried in a police court In the State
and certainly never before has a po?
lice Judge ever imposed a fine of $16,
600 or 14 years for the Infraction of
a city ordinance. The final disposi?
tion of the case will be watched with
interest.
AFTER THAT $2,000.
Negro Contestants from This State
are in Washington.
Washington, March 10.?Aaron
Prioleau and Richardson, the contest?
ants for the seats of Congressmen
Legare and Lever, respectively, reach?
ed Washington today. To-morrow
election committee No. 3, of the
House, will hear arguments of con
Mel for both Mr. Lever and Richard?
son, the negro, who is endeavoring to
get the seat of the former.
For many years there have been
three of these cases from the 1st, 2d
and 7th South Carolina districts, but
this time the man who has been fight?
ing Congressman Patterson dropped
out.
No date has yet been set for hear?
ing the Prioleau contest. Year after
year these cases have been dragged
before Congress, with no result other
than to secure for the contestants the
usual fee of $2,000, which was allow?
ed f<?r expenses. They have never
been able to show fraud, that they
were not entitled to vote, or that dis?
crimination had been parctlced
against them, unless the present
registration laws in South Ca/olina
could be construed that way. It is
not expected) therefore, that anything
unusual will come up at the present
hearing.
PRICE TRIAL NOW IN PROGRESS

HAIR WHITE AS SNOW

Restored to Natural Color with One Bottle of
WYETH'S SAGE AND
SULPHUR HAIR REMEDY
Jhe Only True Hair Restorer, Tonic and
Rejuvenator
ALMOST A MIRACLE
My hair was as white as snow when I commenced using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. One bottle re?
stored my hair to its natural dark brown color. As I am now
70 years old, I consider the result most remarkable. It is cn
agreeable and refreshing hair dressing, keeping the hair soft
and glossy, without bcir.g i:i the least greasy cr sticky.
W:.L WESTLAK3,
210 West Main Street, Rochester, N. Y.

SULPHUR HAIR REMEDY is daily producing
just such results?
After years of ctuc!y and analysis of the hair, we
have been able to produce an ideal Hair Tonic
and Restorer, which contains an actual constituent
of hair, combined whh ingredients of recognized
merit for treatment of hair and scalp diseases. It
makes and keeps the scalp clean and healthy, gives life,
strenclh and lustre to the hair, and restores faded
and gray hair to natural color.
No matter how long and thick your hair is,
WYETH'S SAGE AND SULPHUR HAIR REM
EDY will make it longer and thicker. It will re?
move every trace of dandruff in a few days, stop
falling in one week, and start a new growth in from
one to three months.
These are facts that have been proven in scores of cases.
WYETH'S SAGE AND SULPHUR HAIR REMEDY is guar?
anteed to do all that it is claimed to do or the price will be refunded.

REPORT OX STATE HOSPITAL.
Executive Regent and Superintendent
Make Rccomemndations.
Columbia, March 10.?At a meeting
of the board of regent held today the
following report was made:
To the Regents?Gentlemen: This
is a joint report from the executive
regent and the superintendent.
1. We recommend the early com?
pletion of the dining room for white
men and the extension of the main
kitchen, according to plans already
laid before you and discussed.
2. That the chapel be made over
into offices and store rooms.
3. That the Taylor building be
completed by the addition of the
southern wing.
4. That the painting of the wards
be carried on as heretofore. The es?
timate of $1,000 per ward by a con?
tractor we consider excessive, and
therefore advise the continuation of
the old system of hiring painters our
selves.
5. That the use of tile and terraz
zo for rooms and stairways be con
itnued.
8. That the horses and mules be
at once removed from the old Asy?
lum yard.
7. That dietary of the institution
be improved.
8. We still think wards should be
made over the six wards of the de?
partments for white men and women.
Those wards could be used for tuber?
culosis or other sick.
9. That much abuaed flooring of
the institution be gradually repaired
The best flooring can be bought fo?
$27 per thousand.
10. That laboratories be develop?
ed in the several departments.
11. That the appropriation of $500
for amusements call for special con?
sideration for its purposes.

MAY ENTER RACE.
Senator P. Hardln Urged to Offer
For Lieutenant Governor.
Chester, March 10.?There is a
string movement on foot here to
have Senator P, L. Harden, of this
county, enter the race for Lieutenant
Governor. Senator Hardin has a rec?
ord of oight years service In the sen?
ate, ,ind has the reputation among
his c d leagues of being one of the
ablest and safest men in the entire
general assembly. He was a member
of the aaylum Investigating commit?
tee, and his splendid work in that
connection entitles him to recogni?
tion at the hands of the people of the
entire State. He has been urged to
run for railroad commissioner; but
Lluetenant Governor would be more
to his liking. He will be urged to
enter the race, and If he does it Is
safe to say that he will poll a heavy
\ote in the up-ocuntry, at least.
Many of the troubles that we ?ee
coming down the road toward our
farm pass by without stopping.
VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Census Bureau's Statement Concer?
ning Methods of Ascertaining it.
Washington. March 12.?Inquiries
have been made of the Census Bu?
reau whether farm products should
be valued by farmers, in replying to
census enumerators, at the general
wholesale prices or at the actual
prices obtained by the producer. It
wras pointed out by the inquirers that
many farmers sell a proportion of
their eggs for breeding, at much
higher than the regular price. Others
sell part of all their milk, butter, and
cream, at retail. Quite a number sell
pure-bred live-stock of various kinds
at more or less fancy prices. The Bu?
reau's correspondents are of the
opinion that If sales are quoted In
this way in the census reports, the
results might be somewhat uncertain
as a basis for the average market
prices.
Responding to these Inquires, Cen?
sus Director Durand states that in
forming its Inquiries and instructions
with reference to the value of domes?
tic animals and fowls, the Census Bu?
reau must necessarily follow the
lines laid down in the law governing
Its action. That law requires the Bu?
reau to ascertain the number and
value of animals and fowls. The
value sought is not the value of some
particular class of animals or fowls,
but of all animals and fowls. It is
the amount at which the animals and
fowls can be sold. Good pure-blood?
ed animals will sell for more, and
thus have a greater value, than the
poor animals. Where there are many
pure-blooded, the average will be
higher than where the opposite con?
dition of affairs prevails, but, as a
matter of fact, the pure-blooded ani?
mals are so thoroughly distributed
that they left no appreciable inllunece
upon the average published by the
Twelfth Census, except in the case of
the young colts of the state of New |
Jersey.
No appreciable influence on the
average pi ice or value of eggs, milk
or butter is observed in consequence
of the practice mentioned by the in?
quirers. The high-priced eggs, milk,
butter, etc., are found about as much
I
in one part of the country as in
another. The average which the
Census will publish is not that of a
particular class of eggs, but of all
eggs produced. It is the same for all
animals, fowls and animal products.
The relative number and value of the
animals and products to which speci?
fic attention has been railed d< es not
exert, f<>r the country as a whole or
for many of the Stab s, an inllunece
sufficient to make the average pub?
lished by the census materially llf
ferent from the average market
prices.

YOUNG WOMAN HELD ON BUR?
GLARY CHARGE.
Suspected of Aiding Brother and
Friend in Robbing Stores.
Cordele, Ga., March 10.?Alice
Hightower, a young woman of Ameri
cus, was arrested here at the Instance
of Sheriff Faegin, of Sumter county,
charged with burglary. Several dry
goods stores of Americus were re?
cently burglarized and a large amount
of valuable goods were stolen from
them. The woman it is alleged, to?
gether with her brother and another
person, was implicateu in the theft.
She arrived in Cordele from Ameri?
cus at 2:15 o'clock this morning and
intended to board the Atlanta, Birm?
ingham and Atlanta passenger train
for Fitzgerald, which leaves here at
5 o'clock in the morning. During the
time the woman was delayed here a
message was received which led to
her arrest.
She strenuously denies her guilt.
HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
It Is an Internal Disease and Re?
quires an Internal Remedy.
The cause of Rheumatism and kin?
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
in the blood. To cure this terrible dis?
ease this acid must be expelled and
I the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed In excessive quan
I titles. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal rem?
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Lini?
ments will not cure, affords only tem?
porary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and al?
lows the malady to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the pain,
but they will no more cure Rheuma?
tism than paint will change the fibre
of rotten vvoed.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumaoide." Tested in hun?
dreds of cases, it h?s effected the
most marvelous cures; we believe it
will cure you. Rhcumacide "gets at
I the joints from the inside," sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones
I up the stomach regulates the liver
i and kidneys and makes you well all
I over. Rhcumacide "strikes the roots
of the disease and removes its cause."
This splendid remedy is sold by drug?
gists and dealers generally at 50c and
$1 a bottle. In tablet form at 25c
and 50c a package. Trial bottle of
