SXTIWAItTX I1ROK WILL ENLARGE QUARTERS AND ADD NOVEL FEATURES. Complete Department for I*u?tleV and < ttlhlr n', Shoe* and Infantile IH? partmont to Be Added as Soon u 4*Wartrrw ere Enlarged by Addition of Adjoining Store?l.adi.v lleet Room Will be Provided. An ideal department store for la? dle* and children Is the goal which | the Schw?rt? Bros store Is endeavoring to attain, and a further big step In this direction will be taken In the near future when the store adjoin? ing their present store, and now oc? cupied by W. H. Yates. will be made a part ot the Schwartz Bros establish? ment and the whole divided up into a department store where ladles' and childrens' articles of all kinds will be sold. This step by this popular store will be one that has long been desired by many shoppers and Is one of interest to the town and surrounding country, In that It will be the first and most complete department store of Its kind. Besides this fact the stove will be one of the largest In this section of the Stats, and the effort of the Messrs. Schwarte will be to make It one of th* best, if not the best and most complete of Its kind. The addition to the present quarters will be about 4.100 square feet of floor space. The two stores will open into each other by a large connecting arch which will be placed near the center of the two stores. The addition will be thoroughly gone over and renovated and fitted up In the most modern and coetliest manner with the best of ap? purtenances and furnishings. The addition to the present store is made In order that the shoe depart? ment may be enlarged and that a com? plete Juvenile department may be added. At the same time it affords more space for the departments in the ^resent quarters, which was badly needed because of the large lines of goods carried in the several depart? ments operated by the store. The changes wilt make the store a com? plete department store for ladles' and childrens' goods. The front of the new quarters will be used as a department for ladles', misses' and children's shoes. The pres? ent shoe department will be moved Vrom where it Is to these quarters, fifty feet of space from the front be? ing used for this department. The Messrs. Schwartz intend to have here one ot the most complete lines of fancy shoes for ladies and children anywhere in the State. Back of this shoe department there will be a new department, the Juvenile department. In this department everything which children need or care for will be car? ried and may be secured. A toilet department, carrying all manner of tollst articles for ladles and children will be placed between the shoe aftd Juvenile departments. On the second floor of the new quar tsrs will be a house furnishing de? partment Here carpets, mattings, upholstery snd every kind of house furnishings will be kept in stock. The space In the old store formerly used for shoes will be given over to a department carrying a full stock of ladles and misses ready to wear gar? ments. Other departments In the store will be operated as at present, e?< ept that they will be given larger space and will carry a fuller stock than heretofore. One feature to be added which will meet with general favor with shop? pers Is a rest and reading onm which will be installed at the front of the escond floor, which Is now used as a carpet department. A comfortable room will be at ranged with set'ees, rockers and beds. In order that ladles may go there to rest at any time they t?r< i,m?? tired of shopping. Everybody will be web ..med to this rest room which will be supplied with pknt\ or reading mstter snd the latest fashion magazines, so that those who come there will tin'* means of rest or amuse, ment. as they care for it. This feg ture will no doubt be especially w el come to out of f.iwn BhOgpCTB, who ver\ often BOeoOM tiled during Mo l? visits to the city and will be glad to have a < esjeggjlsjs] pi sog to root The changes whi<h Will be inau? gurated b\ .-''hw.u*,. DrOS attest the growth of the t.,wn and its business Its ? hange from the rural town to the adoption of the airs and styles of a city. The additional span e. w hl< h is now own*d by the Messrs. BehwartS, will be taken over the first of August nicl the necessary changes and renovation will begin Immediately after that time. The prop Merl hope to have th? place ready for BOSlnSSS by tin of September ami will have li In resdlnesM for the greater part of the f-?l| trade at anv rata The tennis players or Sumter ex pect to make the trip lo I- lotete e next Friday.

The ( all of the ?Ith Annual Conven? tion of the National Association of Krai Instate Exchanges, just over the Canadian boundary at Winnipeg, July 28, 29 and 30, will be responded to by the largest number of real estate agents ever gathered together In the world. The National Association has grown from 15 affiliated boards to the pres? ent membership of 83 boards in 5 years. This has been a remarkable record; but, in addition, it has made it possible for the real estate agents from all over the country to know each other, and to learn the value of co-operation. This knowing each other has developed a modern meth? od for conducting the real estate business that has safeguarded the in? vesting public and made hundreds of thousands of happy home owners. Tho splendid support real estate boards are giving to all civic affairs, in addition to purely real estate mat? ters, has created a great Interest on the part of the public In general In the deliberations of the Annual Real Estate Convention, which Is greater this year than ever before. The Winnipeg Convention has added interest, and those so fortunate as to attend will take part in planting the stars and stripes alongside the Union Jack in this, the one hundredth year of peace between the United States and Great Britain. The Winnipeg Heal Estate Ex ( hange, which is preparing entertain? ment, is celebrating its 10th anniver? sary, and assures all members of the Sumter real estate association who attend, that its birthday party will be one long to be remembered. Mr. It. H. Heiser, who Is a mem? ber of the National Association and Mr. D. R. McCallum expect to attend the convention, arid will leave here about July 25, gnng via Cincinnati and Chicago. At Chicago they will make connection with the Kcal Estate Special for Winnipeg. VERDICT FOR BOYLE. Jury Returns Verdict in Favor ot De? fendant?McCoy Against McCoy, The case of A. D. Harby vs. W. B.

I have lust had a letter from your wife saying that you are of no help to her during the spring-clean? ing, and asking me not to give you leave." Pat looked aad, but he saluted re? spectfully, and turned to go. At the , door he hesitated a moment, and then turned to his C. O. again.
