An advertising club for Sumter. 1 which will be a branch of the Cham ber of Commerce, Is soon to be or- ( gantsed by Secretary Snell. Upon request of The Item as to the object of such club, Mr. Snell made the following statement: I An Ad. Club Is an organisation of the advertising and sales managers of various firms located In any commu? nity. They may be retailers, whole? salers, manufacturers, real estate men, printers, publishers; in fact, any one who Is interested in the disposal of any commodity or product. It means getting; together and rub- ' blag elbows with the other fellow. ! Y< u exchange views on important' topics 'that may concern your Arm' personally. or the community at large. No man can be a success by at? tempting t< i.si ideas altogether his ewn, he must profit by the ex- 1 perter.ee ot others, and. in no way. can more knowledge be gained than through the associations In an Ad. ' Club. V. ho \rc The \d\erti-*cr-.? All men are consciously or uncon- ( s? louidy advertising. In some manner.

Asked If he intended to take up his residence In Spain, he said: "It Is quite possible that after a few month's rest 1 shall turn my steps to the peninsula. I speak only Span? ish and 1 am too old to hegln the study of foreign languages. However, nothing has yet heen decided. I shall make up my mind in Paris, where I go direct from Havre." Incidentally, a member of Gen. Diaz's party wild the principal rea? son for the visit to Paris was to con? sult a speclallst with reference to the abscess from which Gen. Diaz still suffers greatly. | Although reluctant to talk of Mex- j leo, Gen.

I wished to prevent the spilling of the blood of the chil? dren of my country In the fratricidal struggle, and, above all, to avoid the possibility of an International conflict or even representations from foreiprn POWOrsJ. I wished to avoid the weak? ening of the national credit and the uls.*atisfactlo~i of foreigners living In Mexico, who have contributed greatly to the prosp?rity of the nation and who have merited the consideration of my country by their work. "My desire was to safeguard both my own dignity and the dignity of my charge without ever having been guided by vulgar s-ntlment or patty pride: and certainly 1 did not bring about this strife, as some seem to be? lieve, to keep myself In power.

Youngest United States Senator and His Wife Doing Well After Traus Puslon. Washington, June 19.?Unite*] Btatei Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, to save the life of his stricken wife, herocially sacrificed a quart of his blood at Georgetown hospital yester? day, and tonight hope for Mrs. Lea'i recovery, which had almost been abandoned) Is practically assured. The anxious youngest senator of the nation, as he lies near the bedside of his wife, is recuperating his strength. Mrs. Lea's condition, serious for some time, became alarming Sunday after an operation the day before. Her strength, because of lack of blood, was gone and vitality was fast ebbing away. Senator Lea, upon learning of her condition, demanded that a transfusion operation be per? formed and prepared at once to sub? mit to the ordeal. At his entreaty physicians and surgeons made ar? rangements immediately, and the op? eration which followed was declared to have been very successful. Senator Lea withstood the oper? ation well, though it left him so weak? ened that for hours he could not stand alone, but his gratification over the reviving effect it had upon his Wife was inexpressible. Surgeons as? sured him that, without the sacrifice which he made, Mrs. Lea could have lived but n few hours. Loth are to? night in Georgetown university hos? pital. It will be two or three days before Mrs. Lea is altogether out of danger, At present her symptoms arc favor? able, althouugh she is still very weak. Senator Lea la confined to his bed at tlie hospital, his vitality being re? duced by the transfusion operation. It is expected, however, that he will able to leave his room in a few days. When heroic effort in Mrs, Lea's behalf became Imperative and the transfusion operation was determined upon, Senator Lea. athletic in stature, would not consent to anything. but that a sacrifice of his ow n blood to re new her vanishing strength he made. Iiut because a prime factor in transfusion ^oer^tlnn !? thftt ? . . ordered. Befon in : . was com-1 pleted bj the sui geons, Dra. H. I?. , FY> and Georgs Tt .v \ mrhn, fearing I th it (b ath might be swifter than they, became alarmed at Mrs. Lea's condi? tion, and decided on the operation anyway. Just as the senator's arm had been bared, and a tube inserted in an artery word came ihat the bloods of the husband and Wife were f ustble. The other end of the tube which h ' been Inserted In Senator Lea's arm was connected with an incision i.i Mrs, Lta's arm and the blood he can to Row from his veins into those of his wife, The transfusion con? tinued for about an hour and a half. The patient responded to the treat? ment from the tirst. Gradually the color was restored to the lips and cheeks of the frail sufferer, r.ut as Mr.-. Lea's color was restored the flush faded from the cheeks of her husband. When the transfusion had contlnu d an hear and a half, he im? portuned ths surgeons not to arrest the operation While there was the possibility of a doubt as to the out? come In Mrs. Lea's case. But the surgeons, realizing the weakening ef? fects of such a drain on the senator's system, eventually staunched the flow. After the operation Senator Lea fell to the floor in a faint. Tie was immediately placed in bed, and tonight is making splendid recovery of his strength. Real Estate Transfers.

Exclmnge Price Section ot* Proposed Contract in Adoption Of Text Hooks lor South Carolina schools Object? ed to by Some Bidders. Columbia, June 19.?The state board of education struck a snag here today In the nu tter of contracts for the adoption of te? i books for the schools of the State, and all bids will be disregarded and the entire matter reopened. The exchange price sec? tion of the contract halted the board and, following a full discussion and then taking a vote tonight, the board decided to amend the contract and ask the book nit n to put in new bids. An amendment, offered by Prof. O'DriscolI, of Charleston, was adopt? ed by a vote of 5 to 4, and the effect of this amendment was to change the form of the contract. This amend? ment is with regard to the exchange of <dd books for n?w ones, and it is figured that the saving to the chil? dren of the schools will be live cents a book. The hoard today found Itself in the position that some of the houses, from which it was desired, probably, that books be had, did not wish to place bids on these books under the contract as framed by the board. The exchange section of the contract was regarded too strict and this was pointed out at the meeting and much discussion had. After the discussion thereon the U'DriSCOll am* ndmont w as put, the vote by districts resulting: 1st dis? trict, aye; 2nd, no; 3rd, no; 4th, aye; "\h, eye; *;th. no; 7th, aye; Secretary Swearlngen, no; Governor Bleace, aye. Total, ayes, 5, Noes, 1. So the amendment carried. At the meeting to be held In the Governor's office tomorrow morning, the representatives of the publishing houses who are here will be called in for consultation, if these men are in position to bid for their firms under the revised contract, the board will be able to get to work immediately again; but if the houses must be communicated with first by ihe agents before they an Submit the new bids, then an adjournment will he taken for a week <?r ten days until this can be done. All book companies will have the privilege now of BUb ...ot;, hlds Just s.i bef<<?-.. under t^*** Governor Blcase said "i vot d for) the present form of contract which has bei n submitted to the various hook houses, believing that the sub? committee which Ixed up the same, tad thoroughly fomtllarlsed them? selves with conditions. ! am abso utely opposed to allowing the book nouses to dictate terms to this State and under no conditions would I vote to permit it. From the explanations liven by the various agents, some of them being high officials in the dif? ference companies, i recognise the fact that in one instance were we to insist upon our contract, it would de? prive the children of the state of the ise of some of the best books now in iSe in the public schools and, be ieving that we should give to the < hlldren the very best reading matter which can possibly be obtained, I fa? vor rejecting all of the bids now be? fore us and a modification of the contract In regard to the exchange prices, and give ten days in which all homes should be allowed to put in such bids as they see tit, be? cause I think it would be very un? fair to the house which have accepted our contract to allow these which have not accepted to see their prices and then have an opportunity to un derbld them, and the fairest way is to allow all the i rivtlege of reblddlug."

Beere* tai> Announced by (>o\. Blee sc? Columbia, June 19.?Gov. Please announced this evenfni the resigna? tion of Ii. Frank Kelley, of Li ?hop ville, the sec retary of the new dispen? sary commission. Mr. ECelley*s suc cessor will be announced just as soon as Governor Bleaae receives the ac? ceptance from the parson named by him to take Mr. Kelley'i place on the c? ?mmlaslon. Mr. Kelley wrote Governor Belase that owing to private business affairs at home he was unable to continue a member of the commission. "It is Impossible for me to attend the ses? sions of the commission any time In the near future, and unless I can give the commission m\ best services' and attention," writes Mr. Kelley, "I feel that I am of no service whatever to the commission or the State. ' When I accepted a position on the commission, which you so kindly ten? dered mo, I had no idea of the amount of work to be performed, and during the short space of time that 1 have been a member of the con - mission I have done my best to ren? der honorable and faithful services to my State, and I have no doubt that you will secure some gentleman to take my place on the commission who can give it more private atten? tion than I am able to do." Governor Bleass wrote Mr. Kelley: "I regret very much to give yon up, but, of course, under the circum? stances, would not insist upon your remaining." The place on the commission held by Mr. Kelley seems to have been the "Jonah.' Thi.* place was offered to Mr. John IClmnaugh, of this city, who declined, now Mr. Kelley has re? signed. So far as can be learned the commission has not changed its date of meeting In Xewberry. on June It. A setting hen Is in no fear of the roasting pan. The two-faced individual is apt to u'< t it In the neck. Plain common sense is an excellent substitute for brilliance.
