WANTS "MADE IX SUMTER" SHOW
Will Have Exhibition at Horse Show
in April.
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. Just think what a sensation
th?* Sumter County Girls' Tomato si d
Canning Clubs and the SOW ing cir-<
Cles would make. All "Made In Sum?
ter County."
it would not coal rory much, "n<
big store WOUld hold it all, If tie
?tore was big enough, it la worth the
trial. The Chamber of Commerce
should get busy. 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.
Corset manufacturers complain thai
the tango Is mining their business.
This we regard as ;i confession thai
tie- tan?:-? beats the corset for making

CASES IX CRIMINAL ( Ol KT.
J. W. 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.
