County Commissioners Go Over High? ways In Western Part of County. The county board of commissioners met Tuesduy morning and went over meet of the public roads in the western part of the county, traveling in two automobiles and stopping at Supervisor P. M. Pitts' for a fine din rer. The party left town about 10 o'clock in the morning, going first from here to Dalzell. From there they went to Providence and Itembort, going over roads in those sections and from there going to Stateburg and by Wedgetield. On the way back to town the party found dinner ready at Mr. Pitts' and stopped for this most enjoyable fea? ture of the occasion. Mr. Pitts had some fine country ham and Thanks? giving turkey, which was very much enjoyed, although it was a little pre? vious to Thanksgiving Day, together with Other numerous delicacies of a gastronomical order.

That Supposed to Be Xante of Man Who Kiled Prank rye. investigation by Deputy sheriff Bp person indicated that the man who shot and killed Frank Pye on Mr. T. J. Kirven's place last week is named Harrison Bnd is Bald to be an itinerant preacher and doctor. Deputy she.'if Epperson stated thai he had hen informed by Brad? ley a few days before the shooting that he. Bradley, was trying to raise money in his section to get I >r. Har? rison to come and remove the "con? jure" away from his wife, so that she would return to him. At the same time other circumstances and infor? mation have tended to strengthen his opinion that the man is named Har? rison. Nothing new has been heard of him, but it is said that he has been living mar Darlington for some time. Advertising Schemes. In line with tin- work of the Chain her <>f Commerce ami Retail Healers' Association activities, Secretary Rear don stated today that it is a wise pol ley for all business establishments i connected with either of lhes? organ? izations to phone n, *?' ? o?' to liml ; out abOUl every advertising scheine presented to the business men before taking advertisenients. There is a regular committee and the Secretary who will either together, or separately investigate and pass up? on advertising schemes if requested to do so. Any parties soliciting advertise? ments, who are on the level should be only too glad to have their plans investigated by a legitimate organisa? tion such as the Chamber of Com? merce. If the plan is all right the en? dorsement of the commercial organ? ization is worth a lot to the promoters and advertising solicitors. If the acheme is not worth anything to the business men of Sumter they are showing poor business judgment in catering to any proposition which will not stand for legitimate scrutinizing by the officers of the Chamber of Com? merce. Fight On Main Street. A difficulty which occurred on Main Street in front of the Farmers' Bonk and Trust Co., Tuesday rtiorn nlng between Bernard Manning and James C. Rryan attracted con? siderable comment and attention Tuesday and Wednesday. The two, men were arrested by Policeman Gal? lagher, but released on their own recognizance.

Mr. Manning's bond of $10 was forfeited and the case against Mr. Bryan was postponed, as he was un? it able to be present at the time on ac? count of sickness. Chief Sumter stated that at the time Mr. Manning put up his bond, he had informed him that he, Manning, was responsible for the affair and that Mr. Bryan was not to blame. COLD WEATHER JUTS SUMTER.
