In the Foliee Court.
There were several cases heard in
the Recorder's court which netted the
city a nice little amount and at the
same time did something towards
stopping the petty thievery going on
in the city. 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. He plead guilty to
the charge and was allowed to pay a
fine of $1.00 In addition to being made
to get his license.
Joe Splots was accused of stealing

all taken the sentence of each was
made $10 or 30 days. Lizzie and Bland?

STATE WANTS CORN EXPOSITION.
V 141 ige Delegation Will <?<> t?> Collum?
bus, Ohio, to Attend the National
Exhibition.
Columbia. 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.

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. During the evening Mrs.
Richardson served punch end cake in
that charming and hopsltable manner
which has always characterised their
home.
Those present were: Misses Lud?

In Sumter by Doan's Kidney Pills.
William Burdell, 211 Church St.. |
?umter, S. C, says: "I suffered from
backache and sharp, shooting pains
through my loins for some time. I
eeuld not rest well and in the morn?
ing my back was very lame and stiff.
I was also caused much annoyance by
too frequent passages of the kidney
secretion. Doan's Kidney Pills were
finally recommended to me and I pro?
cured a supply at China's Drug Store.
I can truthfully say that they gave
be great relief. I have since been free
from backache, and my kidneys have
been normal. I feel so much better
in every way that I can highly recom?
