All Of the members of his family were at his bedside and all that it was pos Nible for medical skill to do was done, but his family had known for several days that the end was approaching ami would come soon. I The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 5.30 o'clock at j the Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was for many years an active member, serving in the capacity of elder. The interment at the cemetery followed the services at the church. Dr. McCallum was born near Dish ? d'Vllle, Jn what was then Sumter county, but now Lee county, on April 4th, 1834. He entered the war in Company K, 23rd regiment of South Carolina troops. In this company he served during the war, returning home at its close as its captain, lie wan on several occasions distinguish? ed for gallantry. On his return at the close of the war he took up his residence in Sum? ter, where for many years he prac? tised his profession of dentistry. Al? ways of a modest and retiring dispo? sition, he never sought any public of? fice, but always had the respect am. good will of all with whom he came in contact. On the failure of his health about fifteen years ago, he re? tired from active practise and has been living in retirement from bus! business since that time. Dr. McCallum was married to Miss Mary Elizabeth Hartlette, who died on January 28th, 1909. He is sur? vived by six children, four sons and two daughters, Messrs. L. B., J. L., E. W., and D. R.

In the passing away of Dr. McCal? lum, Sumter loses a good citizen, who has long been a resident of the town. He will be missed by his many friends, whose sympathy goes out to the be? reaved family in Its loss. NEGRO ENTERS HOUSE. Thief Win? Took Articles from Places Watched for by Olliccrs.

Sunday morning during service at the church the police re? ceived information that the thief had again visited the place and made a thorough search of the premises, bu* , failed to find any trace of him. It is learned that thieves have also entered Mr. Willie Hultman's resi? dence, from which a number of pieces of clotning were missing, other houses are also said to have been entered, but the thief was evi? dently looking for money, which he failed to find.

AI TO SMASH-UP. Cars Collide at Corner of Sunder St. and Oakland Avenue?A Dangerous Crossing. Maybe it was fate or maybe it was just bad luck that caused James Thomaa and Uufus Washington to be making their respective ways in auto? mobiles by different routes to the corner of Sumter street and Oakland avenue; at any rate neither seems to have given the other warning of his approach, with the result that tho garage men was the only one to come out ahead of the game. in police Thursday afternoon, Thomas testified that when he saw Washing? ton's car, a moment before the crash, he cut off his motor immediately and came to a quick stop as he was run? ning very slow for the crossing. Thomas intimated, however, that | Washington was evidently imagining himself the front section of Presi? dent Wilson's special and made no attempt to stop his car. As the evi? dence showed most of the damage to have been done by Washington's car the jury discharged Thomas, but made Washington cough up a few bones for his recklessness. "RAISED cain" GENERALLY.

Matter Stands at Same Point it Did Before Cornier Order. Justice Praser Thurs/Jay afternoon upon the resumption of., the hearing in the Florence county dispensary matter granted the following order: This is a proceeding In mandamus. After further consideration of the matters and things stated iti the pe? tition, I have come to the conclusion that mandamus will not lie, for the reason that the statute provides that the election shall be held by the same officers as provided by law for the general election and there is no duty upon thu commissioners of election to j appoint new managers for this elec? tion, it is therefore ordered that the order heretofore made by me, dated on the litii day of August, 1913, be, and the same is, hereby revoked. (Signed) T. it. Eraser, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Aug. 14, 1913. Upon the reconvening of the hear? ing Justice Fraser asked. Mr. McXeal if he had any remarks to make on the hearing and Mr. McXeal again ex? pressed himself as satisfied with the view expressed by Justice Fraser. Justice Fraser then announced his order, which was not objected to by Mr. Baker. This leaves the ease at a stand as if there had been no former order from Justice Fraser and as if the dis? pensary advocates had not I.n cited to attend the heating, or as it there had been no proceedings at all.
