The mater of beautifying the court house groundl has been before the county board before, but it will be brought again. The proposition hai been made to turn the matter over to the ladies of the Civic League and let them do the work, it is likely that the League win ask that the lands necessary for doing the work be appropriated and they will under? take it. The grounds should be beau? tified by all means. The present con? dition, when they could be improved so easily, is a reflection on the board. The Civic League has made a repu? tation for doing good and commend? able work, and this undertaking will put a new feather in their cap. A GOOD ROADS PICNIC. One to bo Held near the Ferry on Waters*) Riser at sn Early Date. Efforts are being made to have a big picnic and fish fry on Wateree river somewhere near the proposed crossing of the Columbia-Sumter highway at an early date, participa? ted in by the people of Richland and Sumter counties. The exact place for the picnic and the time have not yet been fixed, but the good roads enthu? siasts are at work on the propostiton. It is hoped by this means to get the two counties nearer together and make the highway a certainty. Several places have been mentioned as the one for the picnic. Eastover or Wedgefleld may get it, or it may be held at Garners Ferry. Anyway, sufficient notice will be given for a supply of bream, robblns and other fish for which this section is famous to be corralled. If anything will bring about good feelings and make the highway a certainty a fish fry will do the work. A WELCOME IN NEW ORLEANS. Crescent City Preparing for Shrincr Guests?Arrangements for the Trip. The welcome that New Orleans ex? tends to visiting Shriners. South Carolina Shriners, Omar Tem? ple, will send a good delegation to re? ceive the welcome. Already two Pullman sleeping cars are taken, and a third one will probably be needed. There will be a separate dining car service for the section, containing the South Carolina cars, and the dining car will go through to New Orleans, so that the pilgrims from this State can have breakfast on the train be? fore raching New Orleans. One Pullman sleeper will be placed in the Union Station at Columbia so that Nobles can take it at 9 p. m. or later, thus avoiding the early rising to catch the train. Those coming from Chester and intermediate points, also Columbia will be booked for this car from A. C. L. points east of Co? lumbia will be booked for this car, and can take their berths on arrival at Columbia, without the necessity of going to a hotel and getting up early In the morning. This accommodation will be furnished on the regular berth rate to New Orleans. The train with the Shrlner special cars will leave Charleston 3:00 a. m. April H>, 1910, Columbia, 7:05 a. m. Atlanta. Ga.. 5:20 p. m. and arrive at New Orleans 7:f>0 a. m. April 11. The following very low round trip rates have been secured for this trip, viz: Charleston, $23,35; Columbia, $21.v? ; Sumter, $23.05. Sleeping cars to New Orleans $4.50 from all points in the state, in 'luding Privilegs of taking sleeper at Char? leston and Columbia, after 9 p. m. \pril 9th. Noble H. O, Btrohecker, of Charles? ton is in charge of the trip and is re? serving accommodations in the spec? ial cars and hotel accommodations at New Orleans. He will furnish eaen one going, a full program of the en? tertainment to be provided at New Orleans and a map of the city show? ing the principal points of Interest.

It may be all right to throw lowers on the incoming administra? tion, which promises to give Sumter everything she has been crying for so long?pavements, drainage4, increased police protection, and no one wishes this new administration greater sue I cess than this writer. It is well to add that the Hon. L. D. Jennings, the Mayor-elect, in an eloquent speech. | which was cheered to the echo as- J sured his auditors that he should use j his influence in endeavoring to secure j for the Game Cock city, a modern, ' up-to-date hotel that would have re fleeted beauty from the stately and beautiful postoffiee now in course of j erection. "So mote it be," so cry we all, and as actions speak louder than words w.e await the awakening of the \ sleeping Prince, but still it strikes j this correspondent that a little "mede j of praise" should be extended to the retiring chief executive and his ald ermanic board, who have been trying to steer this ship of state to a safe haven and in reviewing this admins tration it is well to recollect that those out of office always feel that they could manage public matters better than those in; vide Gladstone who the English claimed was the ablest statesman that ever lived when out of office. The incumbent, Hon. W, B. Boyle, as a man and citizen is highly esteemed and commands the respect and confidence of all for his charity, kindness and thoughtfulness. The poor and humble have indeed in him a friend, and he has always been first and last for the labor ele? ment. And of the board of aldermen the following chairman and members constituting committees are to be commended for what they have ac? complished. Public Works: H. C. Haynsworth, chairman, with the means at his com? mand they have done all that could have been expected. Finance: H. D. Barnett, chairman, this committee surely desreves all credit possible as every dollar in re ceipts and expenditures have been carefully examined before being pass? ed, and it will not be out of place to comment on the chairman. Mr Barnett is a patriotic citizen, al? though his time is fully engrossed by his multifarious holdings, still has sacrificed his valuable time without hope of reward for the public good and for over seven years has been the watch-dog of the treasury of the city of Sumter, and no one will contend that he has not made an efficient member of council. Police, J. R. Ligon, Fire Depart ment, P. P. Finn, Opera House, Wll liam Bultman, chairmen, all deserve praise for their worthy efforts to ben efit the city. If space permitted this writer would like to dwell upon what Mr. Ligon accomplished in the raid upon the illicit dispensers of intoxi? cants. Messrs. P. P. Finn and Wil? liam Bultman, worked with vigor and determination to improve and better their city. It will be readily observed that this writer ha% no axe to grind as he speaks of the gooti done by a retiring end not an incoming administration. STYLUS. Sumter, S. C, March 26, 1910. The local hotels will have to put in tire escapes to comply with the State law. The Y. M. C. A. movement having been put to sleep, a new movement should be started to organize a club for boys and young men. They need a place of recreation and amusement with wholesome surroundings. It Is not necessary to have a $25,000 build ing to house such a club, and as the Y. M. C. A. seems to insist that noth? ing can be done without a handsome building it might be a good idea to drop the Y. M. C. A. Idea and begin work on a more modest scale. The boys and young men need a meeting place now, not ten years hence. At last eggs have come down in price. It seemed for a long time that the hens were on a strike, but they have "limbered up" a little and good fresh country eggs can be bought for 15 cents a dozen. Hon. George Dick, member of the House of Representatives, has been mentioned as a probable candidate for the Senate. Manuel Dawklns, white, was be? fore the Recorder Friday for drunU and disorderly conduct. The warrant was sworn out by an Inmate of a dis? orderly house. Dawklns was lined $2.'., which he promptly paid. The fishing season has arrived, and it is not unusual to see parties with poles and lines going out towards the water courses. Messrs. W. J. Mc? Cain, W. K. Dunne and Mood Brown have just returned from a two days fish at Mechanicsvllle. They rport a good catch and a big time. Mr. M. J. Mlchaux has been ap? pointed assistant inspector to Major Lee. Ills duties will be to inspect the paving being put down on Main and Liberty streets. AETNA STILL IX ANGRY MOOD Volumes of Smoke, Lava and Ashes Pour From Craters. Catania, Sicily, March 25.?Aetna still is angry. From the top of the Old crater volumes of white smoke ; re issuing tonight, while from the new craters that have formed lava is pushing and large incandescent mass es are exploding with loud detona? tions and emissions of black smoke. From Catania and along the rail? way surrounding Aetna thousands of persons are watching the volcano, following with telescopes the progress of the eruption. The streams of lava already have surpassed in volume those of the eruption of 1892, but changing their course just as they reached Belprsso and Nicolosi, they have invaded the main roads near these two villages, which seem thereby now to have es? caped destruction. The people are still fearful, but in both villages sol? diers are encamped In the squares to avert a panic while the mayor and parish priests are ministering to the needy. Cardinal Francisca Nava, who re? turned today to the scene of the erup? tion, promised to bring back to the people of Nicolosi and Belpasso the veil of St. Agitha, which they believe has the power to stop the advancing lava. Prof. Rlcco, director of the Observatory on the volcano, despite a narrow escape from death today, has returned to the lava fields. To those who advised prudence he replied: "My post is now there." The steam mixer for the cement sidewalks being put down has been moved to West Liberty street.

C.r has been appointed by the trustees of the University of South Carolina to fill out for the present session the law lectures offered by the late Prof. M. Herndon Moore. The trustees post? poned until a later time the election of a permanent professor of law. Mr. Rucker has kindly agreed to take up the work at the point dropped by Mr. Moore and carry it forward until the final examinations in June. Write For Yours.
