Ukert to bo CeJlM si Aprtl Term at York. March 17.?The April term of the court of general sessions for York county, which convenes April 17 with Judge I. W. Bowmen presid? ing, will dispose of the number of cases of mere or less Interest, through? out the State, in addition to s* \l of particular interest to York county. It is expected that the cases against Krneet lsenhower, Jim Itawls i\nd Jesse Morrison, of Fairfield county, charged with the killing of Sheriff Adam D. Hood, of Fairfield county, and hie negro prisoner, Jules smith, on the ute]* of the Fairfield county court house at Wlnnsboro early ast year, will to called. It will be remembered that Ernest !'Iseiih"wer was acquitted at the No? vember, 1115, term of the court of general sessions for York county of the charge of killing Deputy Sheriff Kuleigh BouUan> in the Winnsfc-jro tragedy. Following the verdict in fthe lsenhower-Boulware case, coun? sel for the defence and prosecution* agreed that the cases against lsen? hower, Morrison and Rawls for the [hilling of Sheriff Hood and Smith be continued until the third week of the April term. Solicitor Henry told The News and Courier correspondent some time ago that so far as he knew the cases would be tried at the April term. It is un? derstood trat. the defendants will press fur trial then. Auto Owners Kick. The automobile owners of Claren? don are raising a general howl about the unfair and unjust law recently passed by the legislature, taxing nil cars according to horse-power. As wo understand It, this is the only county which has such a law, and the people are going to appeal to the courts for rtllef. Why should an au? tomobile be taxed to build up a roa.d for log cartu, wagons and other vo hlclee to cut up? An automobile really packs and builds up roads, whereas these other vehicles keep the road In a torn up condition, therefore we say this is an unjust law, and we hope to see It fought to a finish.? ,Manning Tlmos.

Lavish Entcrtaliuncnt in Honor of the Columbians?Parade, Concert and Drill a Big ?ins-cms?The Ban? quet With Musical Program a Fea? ture. With Noble Schumacher directing the crack Adluh Band of Omar Te;n ple, playing one of Philip Susa's 'great marche*. that organisation fol I lowed by the Sumter Division of Omar's Arabic Patrol, swung lnts Main street yesterday afternoon to the greetings of a number of sum tsrltes, who had assembled to give them a rousing good welcome. The column proceeded to the corner of Main and Liberty streets, when the patrol gave an exhibition drill, going through the manouevres that will be used by the entire patrol at the Rochester meeting of the Imperial Shrine in July. This drill was imme? diately followed by a concert by the I band. The drill and the music were well received by the crowd, and the applause was very liberal. The Shrinera then marched to the Claremont hotel, where they enjoyed an informal meeting, until the ban? quet hour arrived. The dining room th which the banquet was given was handsomely decorated in Shrine pea? sants and flags; the tables were made very beautiful with cut flowers and other decorations, and there were a number of electric Shrine emblems iighting up the walls. A stage was built in the door connecting the main dining room with the private dining room, and from this stage the must* cat program was rendered. Covers were laid for ono hundred. At the banquet board, President O. 11. ftollcy, of the Sumter Shrine Club, presided as toastmaster. On his fight was Noble E. R. Wilson, Potentate of Omar Temple, and on his left was Noble Pierre Masyck, Captain of Adluh Band and Drum Corps. The banquet was a most sumptuous one, and was served in perfect style. Atter such course vocal selections were rendered. Mrs. J. Clifton Brown, who has delighted many a Sumter aud-? ience, was on for the first number, and sang with much effect "Beautiful Dreams I am Dreaming," and In ret sponse to "much applause sang* as an 1 encore "My Old Home Town in Ire* Und." Mr. D. L, Pierce, who has a host of admirers here sang "It's Nice to det up in the Morning" In such a manner as would be calculated to make Harry Lau der himself alt up and take notice. A monologue imperson? ating Lauder was his encore. He scored a decided hit. Miss Georgia Beetham, without whom no such an (event in Sumter could be a complete success, received an ovation. Hoi won. was most artistic. Her selec? tions for the evening were "Tulip Time in Holland" and "Here's a Rose for You;" but her audience would not be fcatisiicd, and she was forced to render a third song "Humming Bird,? which she did delightfully. Miss Beet ham hos very popular. Mr. Chaa. Hilliard Hurst, a female impersona? tor of national reputation and of splendid ability, sprung a big surprise and was an immense hit with the clever rendition of "Take Me to that Midnight Cake Walk Ball." When he discarded his wig at the conclusion of Ids nnntbeTi a largo portion of his audience was hard to bring to the realisation of the fact that ho was really a man. His make-up and cos? tuming was such as could be expected only of one who was at the top notch of his profession. Prof. Schumach? er and the members of his band fur? nished the concluding numbers. There Is no musician in the world who Is nearer to a Sumter audience, or who can charm them more than "Schu." and when, this great artist, so woll beloved by all Shrlners, played on his violin "When You Come to tho End of a Perfect Day," no greater compliment could have been paid him than the hush that fell over the aud? ience and the tears that were every? where evident. His solo cornetist played "Silver Threads Among the Gold" with band accompaniment. Toasts were very generally respond? ed to, and amid surroundings that had mado the evening one to be re? membered as a musical and social event of the greatest magnitude, an? other big Sumter Shrine affair came to a happy close.
