tions for new t?l?ls, Judge Gary or?

The large verdict in the itroor case
came as a surprise to many of those
who had heard the case through. The
case went to the Jury about 6 o'clock
Saturday evening and it was not long
before the Jury returned with the ver?
dict. It is understood that all of
those on the Jury except two men were
In favor of giving the negro something
and that the amount of the verdict
was rer^hed by taking an average of
what ear., of tho twelve men thought
he should have. A motion for a new
trial was noted on the calendar and
fhe arguments will be heard by Judge
Gary in i-hambers at Columbia some?
time this week.
Following the close of the Broon

Son. a rotten case in which the jury
had awarded a verdict of something
over $300.

Rabies* Health Contest.
In connection with the "School Day"
exercises a very unique feature is to
be introduced. As some one has said
"Each year we raise better cattle, bet?
ter corn, hotter fruit, better flowers,
why not better babies?"
About two years ago such a contest
was held In the State of Iowa and a
year later when a second OOntest was
held there wero live times as many
babies registered as in the I'.rst contest.
The ages are one, two and three
years. The following is a standard of
babyhood or baby health:

ference of head and chest of hoys Is
given below. Girls average one pound
less and are of same height:

height 20 1-2 inches; chest, 13 1-2
inches; head 14 Inches.
I hM year: Weight 21 pounds;
height 29 Inches; chest 18 inches;
head 18 Inches.
Two years: Weight M !?! pounds;
height 32 1-2 inches; chest, It inches;
bead 19 Inches.
Three years: Weight 31 pounds;
height, 35 inches; chest 20 Inches;

There will hi no prizes for mere
prettineag except insofar as it stands
, for health, Two prises of 16 and
$2.50 will be given. Any parent in

CLEAN-UP DAY OBSERVED.
Many of Residents Clean-Up Yards?
Boy Scouts Assist.
Clean-Up Day was observed in this
city Thursday, as agreed upon by the
Civic League, by many of the people
of Sumter and because of its obser?
vance the regular city garbage carts
and the three or four additional carts
which were put on for the day were
kept exceedingly busy hauling off
the trash as it was piled out on the
streets.
The Clean-up Day was a success
from the standpoint of good which it j
did for the city, present and future'
in the line of public health, while at
the same time the work shows an im?
provement in the looks of those places
cleaned up.
The general city cleaning was aid?
ed by the Boy Scouts who did their
full part. The vacant lots on the Law
Hange were cleaned by them and
wonderfully improved.
A BIG IMPROVEMENT.
A. C. L. Station Yard Very Much Bet?
ter in Wet Weather.
The effects of work on the Atlantic
Coast Line passenger station yard in
this city was very noticeable Fri?
day afternoon to all who happened to
bo there. Recently the company
has spread over the yard a covering
of crushed rock, a thick layer of this
being on top of the clay which was
spread over the yard sometime ago
when changes were made in the
tracks and in the installation of stand
pipes. i his white rock very muc h
improved the looks of the yard when
It was put down, but its real value
could not be noted until Friday when
tho tlrst hard rain came since it has
been in place.
Formerly after every hard rain pas
sengers have had io walk through mud
almost ankle deep In getting on and !
off trains, but this is not the case
now. The watei runs oft or soaks
through the granite and besides the J
fact of its being damp, which under
circumstances can not be helped, there
is none of the very disagreeable mud
and slush which one always had to
encounter before In wet weather, or
after a very hard hraln.
The improvement is a very notice?
able one and one for which the com?
pany deaerves a great deal of credit,
one very gratifying to the passengers,
but concrete between the rails would
have been somewhat better and sheds
over the tracks arc still very desir?
able.
