A STATEMENT.
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.

HOOKWORM IN RICHMOND.
Surgical Operation on Boy Reveals
Most Remarkuble Condition.
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. Evans, of Conccrd, Va.
The boy had been ill lor months,
being listless, pale and would not
respond to any treatment the physi?
cians could provide. The boy's
brother, Dr. 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. The boy was suffering
with both diseases.
The patient suffered little after the
operation, and one week later left
the hospital, walking unassisted and
cured.
