tatWIEUI TRAGEDY CASE.
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.?

ADLUH BAND, THE SUMTER PA?
TROL, VISITING NOBLES AND
LOCAL SHRINERS CAP?
TURE TOWN.
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.
