LARGE WAREHOUSE HI HNS.
Milling * Williams' Tobacco' Building
In Darlington Destroyed by Flames.
Darlington, Feb. 6.?The old Caro?
lina warehouse, belonging to the
Milling & Williams tobacco firm, was
completely destroyed by fire last night
at 11 o'clock.
The fire had gained such headway
before it was discovered that the
alarm was not turned in until the
building wns pract cally destroyed,
and there was little or nothing that
the fire department could do but pro?
tect adjacent buildings.
This was one of the largest vare
houses In this section, and the firm
of Milling & Williams for a number
of years has been doing a very large
and profitable business.
The origin of the flro Is not known,
though there have been several
theories advanced. The loss was
covered partially by insurance and
the managers propose to rebuild at an
early data,

CRIMINAL COURT CONVENES.
JudgO How man Makes Impressive
Charge to Grand Jury on Law En.
forcotnent ami Schools.
Prom The Daily Item. Feb. S.
The Court of General sessions f/or
Sumter county convened this morning
with Judge I. W. Bowman of Or
angtburg presiding. The feature of
the day was the impreswive charge
made by Judge Bowman to the grand
jury emphasising Upon them the im?
portance of their duties and the im?
portance of the public school work in
Sumter county. There was consid?
erable delay In getting court started,
o insj to -.in absence of witnesses and
the late arrival ember" of thej
grand jury, Jude? Bowman declining
to commence court without all of the
mebers of the grand jury present.
Judge Bowman in making his charge
??tated that he was especially glad to
hold court in this county, which had
the reputation all over the State of
being a progressive and prosperous
county, whose citizens had respect for
the law. He stressed upon the mem?
bers of the grand jury the importance
of their office, as upon them depend?
ed in a large measure the enforce?
ment of the law, as they must not
only pass upon all bills, but must ex?
amine all of the county offices and
see that they were being conducted
properly. He told them that it was as
Important for them to bring in a "no
bill," if evidence did not show a pri?
ma facie case, as it was to bring in a
"true bill," if the evidence showed a
prima facie case against the person
charged. He stated that it was prop?
er for the members of the grand jury
to visit the public schools and make
presentments of anything that they |
saw which was not as it should be,
such as the lack of the proper work?
ing apparatus for the school, ineffi?
cient teaching, or anything else
which prevented the school from giv?
ing the patrons and pupils good ser?
vice, for the type of future citizens de?
pended upon the manner in which the
schools were conducted, and the state
depended upon its men and women,
who secured their training in the
schools.
Several cases were called and set
for different times and bills were giv?
en the grand jury to return.
The grand Jury organized with J. C.
lumbar, who was foreman during the
past year, as foreman again.
T. 1?. Sanders, Jr.. and T. V. Walsh
were excused from jury duty.
The following cases were disposed
of: Jim Dixon and W. I. Johns, rule
to show cause; Willie Hopkins and W.
I. Johns, rule to show cause; Cather?
ine Hopkins and W. I. Johns, rule to
show cause; these parties failed to
appear for trial in a magistrate's court
and the rule to show cause was issued
same to be dismissed when the parti l
appeared in the magistrate's court.
Susan Barno and Ellen Barno
plead guilty to resisting an officer and
were given sentences of $40 or 30
days each.
Charley Wells, murder, continued.
E. W. Dabbs, assault and battery
with intent to kill, continued.
Laike Wactor, larceny of live stock,
continued with rule to show cause.
Alma Washington, murder, case set
for Tuesday.
John White, larceny of live stock,
continued.
i
W. S. Jones, assault and battery
with intent to km nol prossed.
Mose Deas was charged with mur?
der of Crummie Allston and plead
guilty to the charge of manslaughter
and was given a sentence of two
years. He also plead guilty of the
murder of his wife, Nephelia Deas,
and was sentenced to serve three
years, the beginning of the sentence
to start with the expiration of the
former sentence. Deas. it will be re
membered, shot and killed his wife
and the other negro when he found
them In a room together.
Fanny Singleton plead guilty to vio?
lation of the dispensary law and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or
nerve three moots in jail, the rest of
the sentence being suspended during
l good behavior upon the payment of
$40.
The ease of John Tucker, charged
with larceny of live stock, was In
IProgress when court took recess for
; ?linner.
Judge Bowman told the members of
the grand and petty juries that if they
were not worth two dollars a day to
the countv or words to that effect
that he won hi excuse them from jury
duty, as the county needed business
men on the juries and if a man was
[not worth two dollars a day to the
county he was not wanted. He made
this statement in telling the jurors
?that he was ?lad that so few of them
had tried to cxciisc themselves from
lury duty, saving thai the Sumter
count) grand mis compared favora?
bly with any grand Jury which he bad

ONE-CROP SYSTEM ABANDONED.
Farmers of Mayesvillc Plant Large
Acreage in Grain and Go in for To
Ittieeo and Stock.
Mayesville. Feb. 4.?From all indi?
cations, the farmers hereabouts will
not confine their planting to cotton, j
Many of them have planted quite large
I acreages in grain, some of them hav- j
I ing sowed wheat for the first time.
If this year is as good as the past
i one for all grain crops, the planters in
' this vicinity will be in a better condi
j tion next fall than in several years.
Of course, there will be a plenty of
cotton, but nothing like the large
acreage planted in this section in
former years. Tobacco will receive
much attention too and it is hope'd to
reopen the market here if the acreage
is sufficiently large in this immediate
territory to warant the running of
the warehouse here. Quite a num
j ber of the larger farmers are going in
for stock raising too, both cattle and
horses. There is no doubt but that
tho planters are alive to the condi?
tions of things in general and that di?
versified farming shall receive a great
impetus on account of the present de?
pression on all sides.
Dr. W. F. Vat es, who opened a
dental office here last fall, will re?
turn within a few days to his former
home at Chadbourn, N. C. He says
that he is compelled to move on ac?
count of business reasons and not be
j cause he does not like the town and
I the people. The citizens are sorry to
see him leave.

Approving Plaits Outlined.
Sumter, 8. C, Feb. 5, 1915.
To The Daily Item:
The regular monthly meeting of the
Sumter County Medical Association ,
was held yesterday afternoon, and,
besides a large attendance of the
members of the local association,
there were present, as invited guests,
! the members of the Clarendon and
'Lee County Medical Societies.
A number of interesting clinical
cases were reported and discussed by
the physicians present. One subject
which elicited considerable interest
was the report of Dr. Herring upon
his investigation of the State Hospital
for the Insane at Columbia; and,
growing out of this, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt?
ed:
Resolutions:
We, the members of the Sumter
County Medical Association, in joint
meeting with the members of the
Clarendon and Dee County Medical
Societies and other visiting physicians,
have read with interest and approval
the report by Dr. A. P. Herring of
Baltimore, upon his recent investiga?
tion of the State Hospital for the In?
sane at Columbia.
We do heartily endorse the plans
therein outlined for the remodeling of
the buildings, and placing them in an
up-to-date and sanitary condition.
We also ? oprove of the plan to in?
crease tr i ttendant staff, and to have
the choice of the superintendent of
the hospital vested in the Board of
Regents, and of all other steps look?
ing to the removal of the affairs of the
institution from the realm of partisan
politics.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the physicians here assembled:
That we petition the General As?
sembly, now in session in Columbia,
to enact such legislation as will pro?
mote the speedy carrying out of Dr.
Herring's suggestion;
That the secretary of the Associa?
tion be instructed to forward a copy
of these resolutions to the Governor,
to the presiding officers of the two
houses of the General Assembly, and
to such committees of that body as
will have the matter specially in
charge.
Following this, Dr. C. J. Lemmon
read a paper upon "The Importance
of Thorough Postmortem Examin?
ations, With Dissections, at Coroner's
Inquest." Dr. Carl B. Epps read one
upon "Tetanus: Its Prevalence; Ex?
perience With Antitentanic Serum in
; its Treatment." A paper was read by
Dr. S. C. Baker upon "Inflammatory
Rheumatism (?). Its Nature, Cause,
land Sequelae. The Modern Treat?
ment." All these papers elicited live?
ly discussion.
At the end of the meeting, a buffet
lunch was served, and the society ad?
journed to meet on the first Thursday
in March.

home on Hampton Avenue. After all
of the members had arrived the hos?

of the afternoon and much laughter
and keen disappointment was caused
when luck changed. Miss Mary

presented by the charming hostess
with a lovely book. Congratulations
were extended to the winner, then
Miss Osteen served ice cream and
cake which was carried out in th%
color scheme of pink. When the
guests were assembled again the hos?
tess presented each with a card with
initials of one of the girls present
i printed on it. Then the girls yave
' each other compliments.
After this rhymes appropriate to St.

A VISIT TO LANCASTER.
W. S. Tliompson Quite Sick?Folk-*
(jio to Columbia to See Play.
We will not say it was many years
.sine?; vre were up in I^ncaster last
some one will say "Hagood is aging."
Nature is unconventional enough to
blurt it right out, and in more ways
than ono. A sassy old rascal he is to
just stand on your toes and tell you
to your face "You are aging." And
Father Time, relentless Time, cruelly
so. notes our years with creases,
wrinkles and gray hairs. Some of us
call him an old liar and try to prove
it with massage, hair dye, etc., for
which we get paid in creaks, twitches,
I rheumatics and failing sight. Al?
though we step nimbi?, appear supple,
with erect carriage, it is abroad "Ha
is aging." It is a half insult for ona
to speak of you as old Jackson, and
you attribute it to lack of culture, etc.,
and so on. You are in the humor to
lay it on. A capital piece of linguis?
tic labasting. No donubt you are in
just the right humor to excel in that.
Who claps you on the shoulder and
says "Young man, you are looking
splendid," or "You are looking batter
than ten years ago," is agreeable,
companionable. But,
"Many a year is in its grave
Since I crossed this restless wave,
And the evening, fair as ever.
Shines on ruined rock and river."
That is what 1 felt as I passed up
into Lancaster the other day, and oh,
the changes that had come in one or
another form. Very few of the peo?
ple that I knew were in their old
beats, many having gone "the way of
all the earth." Lancaster is a place
of downright grit and in wet weather
red, sticky mud abounds in abund?
ance. Did you ever note how queerly
shaped it is, especially the northwes?
tern part. I have it from ancient
citizens that the surveyor loved tha
"tickler" and ran that part of the
line from one grocery to another, that
finally, for want of a chain which ha
had pawned to replenish the tickler,
he finished the survey with a grape?
vine. While speaking of Van Wyck in
the presence of a young lady sha
said "Why, that is the jumping off
place to nowhere" when I remark?
ed that it was nearly the birth place
of one of America's great men "Old
Hickory," the "Sharp Knife," as tha
Indians called him, with which 11*
luminating remark the discussion
closed.
Once, in 1882 I think, there was a
riot in Lancaster. -tv-* ,
The negroes were out in great
shape and foice, but Lancaster's grit
quelled it in short order. Old man
John Bailey was on the jury trying
a case in the court house with Mack
ey on the bench. When the shooting
began he grabbed his hat, rushed for
the door, replying to the judge, who
told him to come back, "Oh, my boys
are out there." In a few minutes ?ha
court room was empty, and in a few
more the town was clear of negroes.
Lancastrians are a clever, great?
hearted people, whom one is plaasad
to know.
The whole country from Camden to '
the North Carolina line has devoleped
wonderfully. But I must stop else
some one wili call me old.
Rainy weather has operated against
church and Sabbath school work as
well as against other things, but yes?
terday Supt. Fastings Freeman was
in his place at Bethesda church with
a fair attendance of the Sunday
school.
We learn that our go.od neighbor.
Mr. W. S. Thompson, is quite sick. We
hope he will come around all right in
a few days.
