Mr. Bruner was knocked unconsci? ous and waj still unconscious when taken front the coach and placed in an automobile and hurried to Flor enct . At Florence it was sometime before he regained consciousness. No bruises were found on him, but it seems that he was hurt somewhere about the lung*, and any touch on this part Of the body was extremely painful and although he was able to to get up he was obliged to move ibout very slowly. The doctor was unable to say ex? actly what the trouble was as it was wholly internal and it is not known how serious the injury may be.

Boston Brown und Elliott! Jackson Arrested and Confined in Jail f<?r the Offense. Someone broke into the fertiliser house of Mr. K. B. Belser at the old cahin Chandler place Sunday night and st<dc l's sacks of soda therefrom. The soda which was si den by th i parties was carried off in single wag? ons which were tracked to the house of a negro named r>< ston Brown, who was arrested, together with Elliott! Jackson, for the ?ffense. The theft was discovered Monday] lornlng and Mr. Belser. and his over- | seer spent most of the day tracking the wagons and searching for the guilty parties. That morning when the arrests were made there were j seven of the sacks of soda in the house of one of the negroes. The j ither part was supposed to have b< i n sold or otherwise disposed of. Sus? picion now rests on several other Par? ti?? who are supposed to have con- ; *caled the stuff and it Is possible that , more arrests will follow. POLICE REPORT FOR APRIL.

Hunter, colored, against the A. C. L, railroad was tried Monday afternoon In the Magistrate's ?ourt, with the result that th - jury found a verdict for the defendant. Hunter sued for $50 damages for being put off the train some distance out of the city, when hs had failed to secure a ticket and offered mileage In place of one, which the conductor on the train refused to take and Hun? ter refusing to pay the money. The case against the women living it the old Dick olaee, for conducting a disorderly house was dropped on condition that thS) leave the county before Saturday which they pr< n ed to do. The people of the city should all register during the next ten days while the registration hooks are open so that they c an vote for the Main street bonds when the time for election comes up again. TO ORGANIZE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, them pretty things to look at and - ; t?> think about, so that they may feed School District Civic League?It Need and Its Possibilities. su d in school d apartment, it ?Whl may im! As ?n?' d- eply Inter Improvement, In every has occurred to me: lilt- ladles of each school district or? ganise a civic league for the Improve m< nt i?f school hous m and grounds, churches and railroad stations, where ;? district may claim one or more of the last named as a pan of its com? munity belongings, and coming in for a share of its pride?*' But it is in the school houses and grounds that l am most Interested. The day has corns when we can not afford to over-1 look these things. The search-light I of an enterprising public makes bare to the eye conditions that, compared with the gen Mai progress of the pres? ent day. a community Will be bound to try to remedy. I have too much faith in my county, a proud county, In a proud and historic State, never afraid to be In the lead and allowing only duty to be ahead, that it Will allow the searchlight of publicity 13 reveal anything that should not he. The same duty still ahead, though manifest in a dlff? .'cnt form. Shall we fail to see it, to follow after it, as v as done In days past? The duty of Sumter is to strive for better educa? tion, and mare of it and so far my faith is still alive. 1 consider what was demonstrated by the wonderful success of otir "Field Day." But one victory only calls for another. This is a dynamic age, either move or be trodden upon. I am proud to say that we are in motion, but we must not dare to stop. The progress of civiliza? tion Is a- the motion of the heaven? ly bodies, which if stopped, would m 'an sudden destruction. Progress nnans motion. which necessitates ' hange. Educational progress means sacrifice. The children are given good thing! to eat, but, "Man was not made to live by bread alon?." their minds on thoughts, pure and ennobling thoughts, that go to make men and women of such a type that they becomi a blessing to ail with whom they come in contact and will ever be called blessed.
