IIis attorney ap-' pealsd to the United States supreme court on the grounds that he could not be legally executed as he was sen? tenced to be hanged ami not electro? cuted. This case in of more than ordi? nary Interest to ClsrenSss ("unty. be* cause the case of Willie in thune sev? eral times tried and eonweted for the murder of Mr. Ben Mints, has also been carried to the same court on practically the grounds of appeal. Our. Information Is that the attorney for Bethune agreed with the attorney gen? eral to let his case go along with the Malloy case. If a new trial was grant? ed Malloy. he would ask for one for Rethune. but If Malloy lost It would be useless to further Insist for WOllQ Bethune. So we assume that VVH:I ? Bethune's only hope now lies with the governor of South Carolina, either granting a commutation or padon. He will be taken before the Judge at the next term of court who will SSatODOt him to bs electrocuted. The gSSttSS1 Ing Judge has no discretion In IS* case, and must Impose the leath per, arty.

Year's ltcd|mth Chautaqua Tent To Henuiiii Tight Days. _ The important announcement hav Just been made by the miuiaKom*>nt of the Kcdpath Chautainpias that there will he nr Sunday program this year on tho big seven-day circuit. Which circuit extends from Jacksonville, Fla . to Waukegan, Illinois. This innova? tion, it is said, will cost more than I!?,*?##, The tent will remain eight days in a place but will be open to the public only seven. * CIIAVTAI'QTA AT BALL PARK, Location Changed so as to obtain n riace Free of Noise. The location of tho Chautauqua this year has been changed to the baseball park. The change was duo to the noise and heavy traffic in vicinity of last year's location. Every one should ' bear in mind this change and the lo- i cal committee feels the people will enjoy the program better in a quiet place, free from any unnecessary noise. There were some nine hundred pledges for tickets at $2.Ol) this year. The local committee has but a very few extra tickets at $2.00 to sell to | those who did not pledge for tickets last year, and every day calls are com? ing for two dollar tickets, which can not be sold, until the pledge cards arc filed. So in order to remove any bur? den from the shoulders of tho local Kua-ranlors. it would be appreciated If those who signed pledged would call at the Y. M. C, A. early in the week. They have only 1.000 tickets at $2.00, so those who have pledged should ffet their tickets nt once. s< th.it the committee mav be relieved from any c?v.'?ai r?is>sinent, if Hi - pledge ti. K( '.< art sold a day prior to the opening ox iL- ?.'hau* mquu. The program looks bigger and bet? ter than last year's so let's everyone be a booster and make this Chautau? qua our Chautauqua. for the people of Sumter are the ones who make it a success.

I had been a sufferer for more than twenty years from kid-j ney and liver trouble and was almost constantly treated by the most eml nent physicians who could only give me temporary relief. I had been in bed ten weeks when i began the use of Rwamp-Koot. inside of iwenty i'/l.r hours 1 could see that 1 had been greatly benefited. I continued to use Swamp-Root until I had used several bottles when 1 really felt that my Old trouble was completely cured and I am positive that any person suffering with kidney or liver trouble can be cured by the use of this preparation. I am now in the best of health, bet? ter than I have been for ten years or more. 1 do not know how to express myself as Strongly as I desire, in fa? vor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, as I am sure that it saved my life and that my good health is due entirely to this great remedy. I heartily recommend it to every sufferer and am confident they can be benefited as 1 have been. It is a pleasure for me, gentlemen, to hand you this recommendation. Mrs. H. J.
