Magistrat?* Harby Explains His Po? sition In the Henry Kumter Cose. Editor Daily Item:? In regard to the article published in The Item yesterday, I desire to say that the same Is pregnant with expressions well calculated to create false Impressions upon any mind. Mr. H. D. O. Muldrow came to my office and asked for a warrant for Henry Sumter for transporting li? quor. I told him that the statute was not against transporting liquor. He then said he wanted a warrant for receiving liquor. I asked him for the evidence against Henry Sum? ter. He told me that Deputy Sheriff J. S. Sykes had seized a package of liquor which Henry St ter had on his wagon. I asked him what Sum- i ter was doing with the liquor and whose liquor it was. Muldrow said that Sumter was a drayman and that the liquor belonged to a man named Herrlott, who had employed the drayman, Sumter, to haul the liquor to his. Herriott's. house. The liquor was seized, according to Muldrow's statement to me, on Main street op? posite the postofflce. I told Mul? drow that if there was anything wrong about lt. I did not think that Sumter would have come through Main street with the liquor, and that he had better get some more evi? dence about lt. I told him to find out If Sumter was a suspicious char? acter, if he had been suspected of selling liquor, if he had been re? ceiving shipments in other people's names or hauling liquor for blind tigers. Muldrow then went out of my office and I heard nothing more of the matter until I saw the article in the paper. The matter was never presented to me as represented in the published article. As a matter of fact when I questioned Muldrow about the transaction he told me that he knew nothing about It, that htr, Sykes was the man. I take it that it is my duty to in- \ vestigate cases to prevent unneces- j sary expense to the County. When a j case goes to the court of General Sessions it costs the County about $125.00 per day to try it. and I have already seen the wisdom of Investigating cases, for several of them have been brought on very flimsy evidence on which It was im? possible to secure convictions. If any one cares to report the mat- j laf to the Governor he is at liberty to j do so and I do not fear the most rig- j id investigation of the affairs of my office. I have seen Mr. Sykes about the , article published and he told me that he gave out no such statement, nor did he authorize any to be published Ofl Information given by him. In the j future, when you have an article j tOtli hing any matters in which I am Interested, please wlthold publication until I have an opportunity to make a statement. t Very reaped itally, Ii.

Richmond, Va., July 6.?One of the most remarkable cases cf hook? worm and one which is now interest? ing the medical men hi this section wonderfully was that suffered by young David Evans, ton of Dr. Tho? mas W.

Harmon Evans, a recent graduate of the Medical Col? lege of Virginia, examined the boy and decided that he needed surgical attention, but was ignorant as to the nature of the trouble. .. Blood Test RevealedHDS-RI31. . He suggested a blood test, which was made, the diagnostican stating that the boy's blood showed marked symptoms of the dread . hookworm disease, and that he needed Imme? diate attention. The symptoms also indicated that the boy had appendi? citis. > An operation was at once perforrn | ed at the Johnston-Willis Hospital i here, and both diagnoses weie found ! accurate, as when the appendix was ! examined after its removal It was I found to be infested with hookworm, several specimens being found in the appendix.
