Editor Dally Item:
a petition for aa election on the
question for <>r egal net the sale of al
eohollc liquors and beverages by sum?
ter Conntyt and thli means me, yes,
even elttaen la ? liquor seller when
the county st iis and tins |i the plain
Knglish of it.
But rhy shall ere sell liquor. There
is only one reason. There Is money
in it. Th?- same reason that makes
men rob banks, plunder houses, pick
pockets, ami rob a traveler on the
highway. The same reason why the
\n 1111 ? ? slaver piles his hellish trade,
there Is money in it. Now to my
muni liquor selling is the worst of all
ef these evils. The thief gets your
money and you may make more. The
poor girl may be forced Into ? life of
shame ami a merciful God may not
Judge her. Bui the man who de?
stroys "his i?r??ther for whom Christ
died*" what does Ood say. "And he
said, what ban thou done? The
voles Inj brother'i i?io<?ii crleth
unto me from ttit- ground and now
art thou earaed from the earth,
a?hick hath opened her month to re?
ceive thy brother's Mood from thy
hand ' At WhOSS hand'.' Is it simply
.it the bands of the drunken brute
who while drunk on Sumter county
liquor slays his wife and children or
the youth while under the Influence
of Sumter County liquor slays his best
friend, or the black tlend who. half
'fazed on Sumter County liquor ?li?
ters a home, slays the aged father
and the young husband, and lay.; his
foul hands on the pure young wife,
and after accomplishing his hellish
purpose, cuts her throat, as has al?
ready been done in Sumter County,
and If we allow this vile stuff to be
sold, may be done again. Can any
reasons bio man hope to escape tbo
responsibility for the wreck and ruin
that liquor brings if he in any man?
ner consents to or aids Its sale. The
most Mftnln thing in this life is death.
You must stand before your judge
and give an account of the deeds
done in the body and when called to
answer, will you tell him that men
would get liquor any way and you
thought the city and county just as
well have the money as for the blind
tigers and liquor houses beyond the
StatS to get it. Do you think your
maker will take such any excuse for
you Voting for and aiding'and abetting
this dan of iniquity in,pour midst.
1 have lived in Sumter mar three

Patrons Desire to Consolidate single -
Ion and Jordon Sctiools?Talks De?
livered on This Subject.
The entertainment at the Singleton
school house on Friday evening was
a decided success.
Mr. Edmund Murray, In a most de?
lightful manner, rendered a number
of select songs with guitar accom?
paniment, also guitar and mouth
organ Instrumentals His mimicry
was exceptionally good and was re?
ceived with bursts of applause and
laughter by his audience.
During an Intermission of Mr. Mur?
ray's recital Mr. J. C, Bryan made
a tew remarks, saving that while
thos,- present bad come together to
enjoy themselves, at the .same time
it was desirable to get some perma?
nent good from the meeting. lie
er stated that in passing out that
|Ulte often he had heard a strong
? expressed mi the part of many
at neighborhood lor a better
(longer school, and quite a mini
? hoin he had spoken with were
vor of consolidating this school
with the- Jordon school. As the trus?
tees bad said that they approved this
plan, if it was the desire of the pa?
trons, and as one of them, suggested
an extra --mill tax levy for this dis?
trict, which would provide funds for
school Improvement, it was thought
best to discuss this plan.
County Superintendent of Educa?
tion Haynsworth was then introduced
and spoke of the advantages that
would follow this move, and of the
plan of going ahead with the work.
He also spoke of the desire of the
trustees to put on an extra industrial
teacher to give a part of her time
to each school in this work, lie was
in hearty simpathy with the plan of
consolidation and thought it had prov?
ed beneficial elsewhere and he
would lend it his best support. He
was also much in favor of the J-mill
levy, the money would be used right
at home and there could not be a
better move on the part of any com?
munity than the addition of this small
tax for school improvement.
Prof. .i. Karl Scott of the Bethel
School said that while he was not
there to toot his own horn that the
people of his school had a good thing
and they wanted it known so that oth?
ers could get the benefit <?i* their ex?
perience. He spoke of how much
better several teachers could give in?
struction to even a greater number
of pupils in shorter time and with
less strain, if they only covered two
or three grades each, than where the
same teachers had eight or more
grades to teach, as wiw the case in
the orte'teacher sc hools. Where the
schools are consolidated you do not
often hear of broken-down teachers;
the work being so divided as to be
much lighter on the teacher, and i.s
also bettor laid out for the pupil. He
was very earnest in his endorsement
of the movement and vv;is listened to
with muCh Interest.
Prof, \Y. Marion Scott further en?
dorsed the work, showing how the
improvement In tin- exhibits ami oth?
er tests of "School 1'ield Day" show?
ed that everywhere the schools were
getting better, but none so mu? h so
as those that were consolidated.
Mr. Bradwcll, an old supporter of
tin- school, was ma unite ready to
join in with the work, but, if it was
shown that a majority desired thin
change, be would fall in line ami do
all In- could to further the cause of
I he school as he had always done.
All the speakers were listened to

with the most earnest attention. While
it was too lato to hear from others
at this time all showed an interest in
the work by their attention.
< >ii motion. Dr. Haynsworth was
asked to procure Prof. T?te to give a
further talk along this line. II?- was
to appoint a time and place lor a big
picnic of the two schools and all per?
sona interested in them at which the
discussion would l?e continued.
Mr. Murray concluded his part of
the entertainment. Tin; delight of all
was expressed to him in a rising vote
of thanks.
Refreshments of Ice cream, cake
and lemonade were served and en?
joyed, as was Indeed each moment of
the evening.
i:i)(.i:iT! Ll> FIELD YIELDS GOLD.
Edgefleld, May a.?Yesterday
while working In the field of Mr.
Prescott's place. In the Rehot.oth sec?
tion of the county, a tenant ploughed
up an iron l>ot, containing about four
hundred dollar! in gold. By whom it
was burled is not known, although
from the appearance of the vessel it
must have been many years ago.
Some question has been suggested
as to who is entitled to the money,
the tinder or the owner of the land, or
if the latter has any interest in it. It
seems to be the opinion thai, under
the law, tne tinder is entitled to it, in
the absence of the real owner.
