During the meetinr for the organ? ization of the Sumter Horse Show as? sociation when Mr. II. T. Mills, of Greenville addressed the business men of this city, in regard to the value of a local horse show and th benefits of a horse show circuit, Secretary Rear don of the Sumter Chamber of Com? merce suggested that Sumter put on a "Made in Sumter Exhibition" dur? ing the Sumter horse show the first week in April. Since that time it has been asccr- ( tained that Greenville is to put on a! "Made in Greenville Exhibit" during its local horse show. When we stop to think of the variety of commer? cial commodities manufactured in Sumter and the number of styles of j the different articles manufactured the number runs up into the hun- i dreds. What a splendid advertise? ment for Sumter, ni a splendid place for successful diversified manufactur? ing these Sumter manufactured pro? ducts would be. Just to illustrate a few articles, Sum" ter manufactures twenty different kinds of shoes, two classes of buggies, surriefe and carriages, log carts, wag? ons, ignition magnetoes of 17 types high and low, for gasolene propelled machinery, almost every conceiv? able kind of finished building ma ??>r:<ti such as doors, sash, blinds, win <.??. and door frames, ba?usters and r 11 :s, mouldings, o:fice and store ng, counters, ra lings, tables, and other finished building ma? terial of a high class or medium grade; brick, coffins and caskets of six or seven different kinds, cof? fin boxes, sawmill machinery, iron grates for sewer drain, and building purposes, lire grat?s, man? hole covers and rims, parts of machin? ery of many kind, and a great many kinds of brass and iron foundry work for stationary and steam and gaso? lene propelled engines, brooms and Whist brooms of several varieties; ( broom, axe, hatchet, adze, pick and Other instrument handles, chair backs and other hard wood products, cot? ton seed oil and meal Ice, lumber, including pine, poplar, gum, oak, hickory, and other woods, corn meal feed stuff, bread, pastries, candies, turned and scroll rug racks, slat bar? rel staves, cement drain pipe of sev? eral sizes, store and otlue awnings, men's clothing, ladies's dresses, hats, automobil? specialties, automobile parts, harness, many varieties of high class printing j<?b work, drugs, and many other articles not herein men? tioned. There will be, if expectations are realized during the spring hOfSO show In Sumter, hundreds of visitors from other States. If this "Made In Sumter Exhibition" is worked it seems that our manufacturers could easily arrange sshlbltg of their pro- j ducts gad limke a lire show. Then again the house wives of Sum-' ter city and county could hold a I>i^ ' domestic science exhibition which would make the manufacturers hus? tle to keep from being put in tie shade. Just think of the thousand:! of jars of all kinds of preserves, fruits, pickles. etc* that the Sunder county ladles have stored away In their pantries, "Sumter county rais? ed** too.

The manufacturers, merchanti ."'?i ihe ladies ought to hold a meeting right away. The managing secretary la never so happy aH when there Is it rush any how, and this "Mole In Sumter" exhibition will give him so much to write aboul thai he would not leave Sumter to go to Heaven urtll after tin- expo? sition, If he had his < holce.

Bradley Rein? Tried for Mar der?Mistrial and Acquittal, The case of J. \\\ Bradleyt chargt d with the murder of Frank Pye, was taken up In the court of general ses? sions on Thursday evening and was still In progress when court adjourned for dinner today. The defendant Is charged with being an accessory be? fore the killing. Hbj defense i."> thai, he did not contemplate the killing ot Pye by the intermediary whom he se? cured to go to Pye*e house ti> brint; his wife away fr< m there and hack to him. Pye, it will be remembered, was sinn and killed by an unknown Itine? rant preacher, who escaped after the killing. As Bradley was interested in the killing and was supposed to have been with the preacher both before and after the killing and it was al leged that his gun was used, he was arrested, as was his wife ,and held on a murder charge, it will also be remembered thai this was the case where the Bradley woman claimed that ehe had been induced to make a contract with Pye through the Influence of certain con? coctions prepared by Pye and given her by sonn- of Pye'a friends. All ot these facts were brought out In the trial of the case, which will probably be completed this afternoon. Messrs. Marion W. Seal-rook and A, 8. Merrimon were appointed by the court to defend Bradley and have made a hard fight In his behalf. John Black, who was tried Thurs day for houaebreaklng and larceny, it being alleged thai he stole articles from a store <>n Kendrick street, was found not guilty. The case of William Tunnage for assault and battery with Intent to kill was completed Thursday after-; noon and 1'suited In a mistrial. The case <?f J. W. Bradley, white charged with murder, came to a con-1 elusion last night after the jury had been out for about sire hours and had .'ailed to reach S verdict and Judge j Gary ordered a mistrial. This case was commenced the da; before. Messrs. Marion W. Seebrook and A. S. Merrimon were appolnte 1 by th" court to defend Bradley and made a hard t'ght of the case. So? licitor Wood also made a g.i pre? sentment of the case f<>r the state. Bradley, as previously stated in the Item, was accused of sending an un? known preacher to kill Frank Pye. an] Indian, and w.is Charged with being an accessory to the killing. The preacher escaped and has not bet n captured. The case of Mary Alice Rolllnson, colored, charged with murder was the next case called and will prol ably be compl? ted t<-d y. The woman Is accused of shooting her husband and killing him, when he objected to an? other negro coming to see her. Thej efense endeavored t<? show thai her husband was drunk and came home to try t<> kill her and she sh??t him af? ter she had tried several times to get away from him. The prosecution on ? ho other hand claimed that she kill? ed h^r husband in order to get rid of him so that she could live with the th r man. The case went t-? the jury shortly after 1 o'cloi k and a verdict of not guilty was returned after the jury, had been out a short time. The mistrial In the Bradley case Is' the second mistrial ordered In a mur? der case during the week, the Mose Deas case having also resulted In u mistrial. The case against William Tunnsge, assault and battery with intent to kill, was another case whl hi resulted In a mistrial this week. GLEE ( M i; COMING. "Furmaiiltefi*1 Will Vigil Sumter Thursday.
