Mil. INt.K VM EXPLAINS. Hin Remark* mi Hotel Situation at Chamber of (oraintnv Meeting Mbtunilt mNHxi. Mr. W. H. Ingram, who discussed the hotel situation at the meeting of UM Chamber or 0MMM9M Wednes? day night and In doing so referred to the large patronage that the two ho? tels of Florence enjoyed, stating that fco was informed quite a number of traveling men are in the haidt of go? ing to Florence to spend the night as the result of the lac1' of accommoda? tions in this city. Mr. Ingram thinks that his remarks were misunderstood, or misconstrued, and requests the pub. llcatlon of the following statement *n explanation note in your Issue of Thursday that I am quoted as having said on the occasion of the Chamber of Com sjsorcs meeting that many were leav? ing Sumter to spend the nights in Florence on account of the lack of proper accommodations here. Had the word "proper" been left out. the statement would have been correct. Wrwt I really said, "was because of the lack of accommodations." It Is well known to me that Mr. Jackson runs an excellent hotel when we take Int?, consideration Ins meagre facili? ties and he is as anxious as nny other ettlsen that 8umter eh Ol I have ample and up-to-date hotel accommo? dation*" \ I..F.SSON IN roiKHSY. Alderman Glenn Asks for a IMura and Get* an Fxtremelj Sour Lemon. As It was decided sometime ago by cltlsens that Main street must be repaved It was up to the City Council to get Information as to the beat and cheapest paving material on the market. To do this a committee of three members of Council was ap? pointed to confer with any paving contractors whom they could get to come here and to And out by corres? pondence what they could about the pavements of other cities and the materials which had proved satisfac? tory. Solely with this object in view Al dsrman Glenn wrote to the city en? gineers of various cities throughout this and other States asking them what material they had used in pav? ing their streets and what service and satisfaction It had given. The cities that wer? known to have rod streets Wer? eapecially corresponded with, the phraseology of the verioux letters being m es pleasing and suave a man /it r a ' i 'Me to jo.' them In by meant of tuck a r y tu; WOlIM as the typewriter. From most of the parties written, replies were received sawchod in t>e same polite wording and giving the dealrcd information. Now. one of the t'tles corresponded with was Spnrtanbur,*. which has ex? cellent streets. Hut at this place the ?Dglneer was too brain/ or too busy to write out the desired Information, so In order to show his extremely wit? ty nature he wrote as follows: "Brains"?the communication being on s little slip of paper enclosed In the self stamped envelope sent with the Inquiry. j Perhaps the gentleman was smart, and perhaps he was witty, but Alder? man Glenn did not look at In that light at all. He had asked for lnfor mtalon as to the material used In the paving of the streets and that was what he wanted to know. "Brains" In his estimation aas esentlal in finding a material but Itself would be a poor material for paving and In his opinion most of the engineer's must have been used In the paving of the streets In Hpartanburg. for his reply would not show him to have much of thero left HOW8 THIS?

HACKMEN OPPOSE ORDINANCE. l>o Not IJke |0 Meet Early Morning Trains and Think It Hardship to In Made to Meet Them. The hackmen in a body made a very strong ploa Thursday morning in the Recorder's Court for relief from the present hack ordinance re? quiring them to meet the early morn? ing trains, stating that they did not think that they could be made to j meet the trains if the matter should be put up to the courts. It will be remembered that Alder? man Mcl^aurin called the attention of Council at a recent meeting to the fact that the ordinance requiring hackmen to meet all trains was not enforced. The matter was referred to Chief Bradford and since that time he has seen that his force of police? men enforced the ordinance. Two of the hackmen were up some time ago and as it was the first offense since the enforcement the Recorder let them off with a warning that he would fine the negligent parties the next time they were guilty of a viola? tion of the ordinance. The second offense was committed Thursday morning and the offender, Arthur I. Jackson, was fined >J .00. He paid the fine but made an urgent plea that the hackmen be released from carry? ing out the ordinance. The Record? er stated that he had nothing else to do when such a case came up than to fine the guilty party. Wlliam Dingle then, as spokesman for the hackmen, there being almost the entire body of them congregate 1 in the Recorder's office, made another plea that the hackmen be allowed to run the ordinance to suit themselves and so that tho train would be met and no hardship would be put upon any one hackman. Chief Biadford stated that he had formerly allowed the hackjnen to appoint the hackmen to meet the trains and under this system the ordinance was not carried out. He stated that he was In the I habit of appointing two hackmen to 1 meet the trains for one week at a 1 time and that he would hold these , men he appointed responsible for the execution of the city ordinance. This answer did not suit the hackmen so they went in a body to Mr. It. L. Wright, chairman of the Police Com? mittee, to see if they could not work upon him to allow them to regulate the matter among themselves so that there would be hackmen to meet the trains and at the same time no hard? ship would be put upon any nackm&tL Mr. Wright ?old the hailimcn tha* h" cotfM not give any definite answer it this time, but that he WOUld OOnfST with Chief Brjj f-.rd an i see wl it could be done to carry out the ordi? nance so that all parties would be satisfied.. $30,000 CASE BEGUN. Coast Line Sued for Personal Inju? ries to P. P. Finn. One of the largest suits of the pres? ent term was begun Wednesday In the United States Circuit Court. The case is that of P. P. Finn vs. the At? lantic Coast Line Railroad Company. Finn Is suing for $30,000 for personal Injury alleged to have been sustained , In the employ of the defendant. The trial of the caso occupied the entire session and was continued until to? day. In the complaint It Is alleged that Finn was in the employ of the Coast Line In November, 190S, and that at that time he was riding on a caboose attached to a freight train, when it was decided to cut loose the caboose. An accident resulted when this was attempted, which was due, it Is charger1, to the condition of the brakes on the caboose. The plaintiff alleges that he sustained Injuries which disabled him and prevent- d him from pursuing his vocation, and that he still suffers from the effects of the accident. He is suing for $30, 000 and the cost of the action. .vews and Courier, March 30. K. OF P. WINS OCT. ClksftCSJtOSj Nckhus Refused Charter as Knights of Pythias.

Blease on the condition of good be? havior and that they never drink "one drink of whiskey again." The crime was committed in 1904 and caused a great deal of interest at the time. "I do not believe that the men are guilty," said Gov, Blease, in comment? ing on the case. Judge Watts, who heard the case recommended exe? cutive clemency, while Solicitor Coop? er Who prrmorooo^ ?*>n eft??o W?\6 that he could not recommend a per? don. Alfred Free was sentenced in : to I4' year; in the pemtcrjt:ar\ W. L. Henderson to 12 years.
