POPULATION BY WARDS. Additional Information Rein live to Census of Sumtcr. The plan to take a special census of this city seems to be held in abey? ance for the present and the indica? tions are that the inaccurate and ob? jectionable official census will be per? mitted to stand, since Director Durand takes the position that the figures cannot now be changed, even though proof should he laid before him that the official consul Is incorrect. The following additional informa? tion obtained from census bureau rela? tive to tin- population win be of in? terest. For Wards 1 and 4 the offi? cial figures gave the total population ami the white and negro population Of each ward, For Wards 2 and 3 Only the totals are given. It will be | seen that according to the official | figures Ward I has only 10 more in- | habitants than Ward 3, which, if true is a most surprising and unexpected state Of affairs. The general impres? sion is that Ward 2 has at least 500 if not 1,000 more inhabitants than Ward 3. The official figures are as follows: Ward 1. 9*46 (White, 4x0, collred, 466.) Ward 2. 2,632 Ward 3. 2,622 Ward 4. 1,909 i White, 4ho, Colored, 466.) Total. S.109 if the contrnctors complete the Y. M. C.

Negro Woman Said to Have the Small Pox Living North of Moni?. Col? lege. A case <?f small pox has been report? ed to tho county supervisor as being just outside oi* the city UmltS in a negro h? use a few houses north of Morris college. it is said that the negro moved to his present house from some part of of Lee county ami .hat soon after h? had s< ttled down in the house he now occupies his viie broke out alth tho disease, Ste.>s were at once taken to have all living in the same lion. ? vaccinated and this morning a ipeclal Officer was sent out to Morris col", -'e to vaccinate all of the pupils at that plan-. All possible measures are being taken to prevent the* disease reaching tin- city ai d as there is no pest house in the county this is by no means an easy job, However, it is probable that with the present vaccination epidemic going on that only a few persons in the city, it' any, will be left to be at? tacked by the disease. The T. I?. A. Meeting. t l Post (J. of the Travelers' Protec t:ve association m< t Friday night at i Hotel Sumter for its regular annual session and held a very pleasant and a highly successful meeting the even- j Ing being wound up by an oyster sup? per which was much enjoyed by all of ' the nu nibers and visiting brothers of i the association. I , i j There were many visitors at the meeting, among them being President of the state Association, Edward Wella of Darlington and Secretary of tin State association John Lilian! of Co? lumbia, both of whom made gpei ches . which were highly appreciated. I A business meeting was held at the j beginning of the meeting during which it was decided o> appoint i a committee *to draw up resolutions ? I ! I of sorrow at the death of Mr. A. W. Crosswell, Those -appointed on this committee were Messrs. J. \V. Mc Kelver, h. L. Scarborough and L. I Parrott It was decided that a committee should be appointed later w ho should j try to get a larger number of mem? bers of this Post before the meeting ! of the State T. P. A. convention which would convene sometime in May at Greenwood, S. C. It was decided to I elect delegates to the State conven- | tion in March. Steps were taken to keep up the interst of the memb rfl in the post and try to get more mem? bers, to show the work that was b-? ing done by the association. Much in? terest and enthusiasm W IS show n along this line by the members end it is probable that much langer mem? bership Will be on the rolls of the '?(?si by tilt time of the meeting of the State association. During the course <<f the supper many members of the post and many visiting members were called upon to ? lake speeches which they all did, many of the rpeakers being heartily cheered. Among those who made speeches were. President Wells, Sec? retary Lillard and state Chaplain. Rev. IT. H. Covtngton. All the speeches were in praise for Sumter and the T. P. A. of this place, several making references in their speeches to the good time that they had experienced here two years ago win n the State association met here. The occasion was declared s great success by all, whi< h was well exem? plified by the late hour of adjourn? ment. MARK TWAIN ON ROOSEVELT. New York, Feb. 4.?Books that ?were owned and manu.scii pts that : were writb n by Samuel L. Clemens, (Mark Twain,) collected here for dis? posal at auction at an early date, are L'ound to contain some indications of , the late author's method of work. An Interesting and comparatively recent document refers to ' Col. Theodore i Looseveit. One of the early manuscripts is a page of notes for an outline of a por? tion of the story of Tun Sawyer. Among the othi r manuscripts is one described as "an article on the inauguration of President Taft." and "the deliverance of the country from Mr. Roosevelt," dated March 0, 1909. a portion of it follows: " Astronomers assure us that the at traction Of gravitation on the surface of the sun is twenty-eight times as powerful as is the force at the earth's BUface; and that the object which weighs 217 pounds elsewhere would weight 8.000 pounds there. For seven years this country has lain smother* ing under a burden like that, the in cubus representing, in the person of President Roosevelt, the difference be? tween 217 pounds and 6.OU0. Thanks ? ?e, we got rid of this disastrous bur? den day before yesterdsy at last? "Forever? Probably not. Prob? ably only for a brief spell, wherein, under Mr. Taft, we may hope to get l ack some of our health?four years. We may expect to have Mr. Roosevelt ^'tting on us again with his twenty 'ght times the weight of any other Presidential burden that a h Providence would impose upon our sins. "Our people have adored this charlatan ;vs perhaps no impo. Iiis breed has been adored since the golden calf; so it Is to be expected that the nation will want him back B rain, after ho is done hunting in Africa, with the safeguard and ad vertlslng equipment of a park of ar ttllery and a brass band."
