Esq., was re? tained by the family of the deceased to assist the solicitor In the prosecu? tion. The Interest of the public was ?manifested by a crowded court room. Quite a number of witnesses were called by both sides, the examination of whom developed no scenes nor technicalities but wan conducted In a eery smooth and quiet manner. The defendant took the stand In his own behalf and was severely cross-examln ?d by the solicitor, but his version of the tragedy was so straightforward that the Questions of the solicitor failed to MggefJt him.

Your correspondent thinks that the new money which Mr. Bryan forced the Republican party to Issue some years ago is falling to meet the needs 1 of our increasing population and business. Hence, we find business digging and labor troubles brewing. \'ms we are passing through a period of a slight money famine with well prononuneed symptoms of greater disaster In the near future. There? fore he deems It impossible by hold? ing cotton to force the price up to 15 cents or anything like it and would advise the gradual and aver? age sale of the crop during the per? iod of six or eight months at cur? rent prices as the best solution of the predicament m which we now find ourselves.

ANSWER ON MOROCCAN ques? tion APPROVED BY presi? dent. Document Ii Understood to Contain Number of CoOOOSllOlU on Points Not Involving Principle. Paris. Sept. 13.?After President Fallieres had given his formal sanc? tion to the French reply to Germany's counter proposal in the Moroccan negotiations, the foreign minister, M. de Selves, completed the transscrip tion of the document and it was dis? patched for Berlin by special cour? ier at 10 o'clock tonight. The forcing minister early in the day carried the draft of the reply to Hamouillet. where President Fal? liere* is staying, and returned to Paris by motor car. Before tre docu? ment was tinally sent off M. de Selves hud an Interview with the British and Russian ambassadors. According to information from a reliable eource the reply is a prac? tically revised and corrected version of the proposed . Franco-GermaD treaty relative to Morocco, which was submitted to the German for? eign minister on September 4. The German government returned a du? plicate of this treaty to M. Cambon, the French ambassador, revised ac? cording to the requirements of Ger? many, that is to say, including a num? ber of suppressions and additions. It is these that the French reply again revises. either reincorporating the articles suppressed by the imperial government or amending or deleting the articles inserted by that govern? ment. The French reply accepts cer? tain Genrman demands which do not involve the question of principle. Reasons which havo inspired the French government in its revision of Germany's amendments from the subject of a special memorandum carried by the same courier. This will furnish M. Cambon with the elements for any further explanations which Herr von Klderlin-Waechter may request. The Sumter Magazine Agency is offering special rates on popular mag? azines. I A strike of electrical workers em I ployed by the Spartanburg Railway, Gas and Electric Company Is threat? ened. It would be a good thing for Sum? ter, for the City Council or the Cham? ber of Commerce to get the A. C. L. Railroad to fill in the mud hole Just to the rear of the passenger station, or if the railroad does not intend to repair this part of its property, the city should Itself try to make the place appear more sightly. MFAL PASSE? INSPECTION. Wholesale Mcrehunts Receive Reuorts [Vom State Department of Health. All of the merchants in the city i who were visited by the State Meal Inspector, Mr. Jones, who passed i through Sumter about two weeks j ugo on his regular trip of inspection, have received reports from the samples of meal which he took off i with him. The reports are all mark- j ed "O. K." which means that the maul was found to be up to the stand? ard. The reports stated that the stand? ard acidity varied from 15 to 30. The meal samples generally ranged from 21 to 27, one being 31, one point higher than the standard. The only difficulty about this in? spection Is that It takes several dayB for the merchants to get the reports from the analysis after the samples are taken and by the time that the reports are received most of the meal has been sold and already eaten. The inspection and analysis, how? ever ,is mostly to determine which companies ship bad meal into this State, so as to warn the merchants against buying meal from them. The merchants in this cUv have been pecularly fortunate In that re gf.rd, for the companies which sell corn products to them are all known as good companies and up to the re? cent inspection and analysis, all that the inspector did on his visit here was to determine which companies the meal and food stuffs came from, when he passed them over wthout further examination. The inspector also took samples of i grits away from here with him, but I they have not yet been heard from. In The Police Court. There were quite a number of cases of minor importance in the po? lice court Tuesday morning und one preliminary which ended in dismis? sal.

A preliminary was given Laura Boyce on the charge of assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Laura plead not guilty. Adele Richardson was the only witness against her. The Richardson woman stated that on last Friday night as she was going down Harvtn street the Boye? woman had aimed at pistol at her, but had lowered it upon seeing that she was not another woman, whom Lama ?aid WSJ going with h?r man. She had n<?t intended to tak?; out a war? rant for Laura <>n this charge and the warrant was done so unintention? ally. Geo. D. Levy, Esq., the defendant's attorney( asked that the case be dis? missed on the ground that there was only one witness and that she was not worthy of belief. After Borne dis? cussion of the case the recorder stated that he would n<>t bind Laura over to the higher court on this charge but. he a d vised. she must do 1 ?*tt?-r in the future than she has l ern doing in the past, or she would come upon hard times. She solemn? ly promised to do bettor, saying that sh?1 had already reformed. The other case against Laura T?oyce for disorderly conduct was 1 tost DO nod until Wednesday. W.
