The cases went harder against Joe Splots, who had been dis? charged a few days before for steal', ng a grip at the passenger station be? cause of Insufficient evidence, than against anyone else. The first case up was that against Willie Rose for driving his wagon on the sidewalk. Wllll? pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $2.00 for the privi? lege. Ulysses Parker, a colored hackman of the city, was brought before the Recorder charged with the offense of conducting his business In the city without a license.

Jan. 26.??For the pur? pose of securing for South Carolina the National Corn Exposition for 1912 buslni ss organization in several cities are today wanking on plans to send large delegations to Columbus, Ohio, January 30 to February 11. It is said that Governor Judson A. Harmon If quite favorably disposed toward the South and the remarkable corn crap of the South in the last two years may Influence the directors to allow the exposition to come South next year. The corn show in Columbus will prob? ably attract a hundred thousand visi? tors during the two weeks, and it is believed half that number would be drawn to Columbia. The State Ag? ricultural and Mechanical Society will probably erect a building suitable to house the exhibits, and Colum? bians will guarantee reduced hotel rates. The local chamber of commerce will send a delegation, the Southern Railway will send Col. H. V. Rich? ards, and the Columbia city council | will send Mayor Qlbbea In addition to these private individuals have sub? scribed to the cause. Charleston has promised aid along with Florence, St. Matthews and Other communities. Conservative people are o' the opin? ion that the securing of the National Corn Exposition will be the greatest i boost for South Carolina and the South of anything since the Charles? ton and Atlanta expositions. The cheap farm lands in this section, to? gether with the knowledge of what can be produced here, will be an in? centive to bring, it is believed, hun? dreds of good farmers to the South. Mr. Rutherford P. Hayes of Ashcville, N. C, a son of the late President Hayes, is of that opinion, and is in consequence one of the most enthu? siastic workers for Columbia. Sl MMKUTON HOLDS HER OWN.

Two new business enterprises have been ushered in with 1911, which be? speak for the community a continu? ation of the faith that we are still in the forward movement. Mr. J. M. Plowden, formerly of the Summerton Hardware Company, and for many years Identified with hard? ware business, is now monager of a new firm, known as the Clarendon Hardware Co, Mr. Plowden occupies the store formerly owned by Shaluehy Brothers, and has made very advan? tageous repairs and renovations. Mr. H. Inman. for a long time an A. No. 1 jeweler in the city of George t >wn. has opened upon a limited st ab- a jewelry ami r< pair business in the building occupied by Messrs. Hrailsford of the Ten Cent Store. Mr. Inman Is reported to have come to Summerton to rest from over-work, but one would suppose upon passing his office that he were at all times quite busily engaged. Not as a business enterprise but rather as a protection to business and private Interests, a volunteer lire de? partment han recently been organized, which bids ralr to become a most successful and . >neflcial organization. The meeting out >f whieh jrew the organization was one of great en? thusiasm, and the >oung men of the town responded eag? rly to the call for volunteers. Dr. W. R, Mood was elect id chief, with Mr. C. W. Evans, as assistant, and two lieutenants will be named later. An Initial enrollment of about 16 was secured. For the past week, during which time a number of charming young ladles have been visitors in the com? munity, dancing seems to have been in order in the social world. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Richardson threw open their doors to the young people of the community on Friday evening last, and dancing was enjoyed for several hours. Visiting Mrs. Richardsoli were Misses II Ina, Lizzie and Nannie Richardson, of Bumter, and in their honor it was that the entertainment was given.
