Will he Tried in Lee County Cir?

The case of Willie Bethune, charg?
ed with murder, has assumed a new
aspect with the granting by Judgo
John 8. Wilson at Manning on Tues?
day In the Clarendon county court of
a change of venue from Clarendon to
Leo county, where the case will be
tried in the circuit court. Solicitor
Stoll asked that It be removed to
Wllllamahurg county for trial, while
i
Mesara Clifton and Moise the de?
fendant's attorneys, requested that It
be moved to Sumter county. Judge
Wilson decided on Lee county and
named that as the place for the trial.
This case has attracted a great deal
of attention throughout the State, es?
pecially in this section, as It ha* been
in the Supreme Court on appeals a
number of. times and has brought
out a number of interesting legal
points.

Tito?? installing Sanitary Surface
Cloaata WIM Have to Put in Sewcr
Connection* I<uter. .
Thon? citizens who are now putting
In sanitary surfuce closets are warned
again that the ordinace requiring
them to connect with the sewer sys
tom, If their premises are within a dis?
tance of two hundred feet from a
sewer line, Is still in force and. unless
Council makes some change, the
health officer and police will see that It
is enforced.
A number of citizens whose premises
abut on streets in which there is a
sewer system are putting in sanitary
surface closets at this time, the recent
ordinance requiring that all surface
closets be made sanitary by July 15th.
some of them will find that this is a
needless expense, as by putting in the
sewer connections now It would save
them some expense In the end. How?
ever, it Is hoped that all surface
closets will be made sanitary at once
and that the health officer or city clerk
be notified of this, as the closet will
not be put on the system for the cart
to stop at unless such notification is
given the city authorities. The cans
for the closets can be purchased from
the city for $1.10, they having al?
ready been ordered for this purpose.
.tm?.t?M?>.?ti
Sumter Company May he Dis?
membered.
It Is quite possible that the
Bumter Light Infantry. Com?
pany L, National Guard of
South Carolina, mar be dis?
membered, if the full war
strength of the company Is not
raised. The army officers will
hardly consent to the muster?
ing of a company which has not
its full war strength, and In di?
viding up the companies to 111
other companies the seniority
of the company commander will
be taken Into consideration.
Capt. K. T. Brown Is probably
the Junior captain in the militia
and therefore, if It Is decided to
dismember one of the Second
regiment companies. It would
probably be the Bumter Com?
pany to be divided to fill up me
other companies. The members
of the company and the people
of Bumter and surrounding
country would not like to see
this action ta^Jen. which may no
the case unte*s the full war
strength la enJuriui. tiu^mlar ?j.
county, with Ciatendan, i^ec
at d WUUamsburg counties tu
draw from, should at least fill
one company to Its full war
strength.

SUMTEK LICJHT DRAGOONS.
SIr. I. 1 fuH>y Moses Takes the Lead in
Promoting iJr? Orguirizution of Cav?
alry Troop.
Under authorization of Adjutant
General Moore Mr. i. Harby Moses is
actively at work organizing a cavalry
troop to be known as the Sumter
Light Dragoons for serlvce in Mexico
in the event of a call for volunteers
by President Wilson. It is almost a
certainty that war will be formally
declared against Mexico tomorrow or
the next day, a state of war having in
reality existed between the two coun?
tries since the treacherous attack on
the Tenth cavalry at Carrlzal, and the
declaration will be immediately fol?
lowed by a call for volunteers. It is
expected the president Will call for
not less than 250,000 volunteers, per?
haps a half million, for the regular
army, reinforced by the National
Guard of all the States, will prove to?
tally Inadequate for the invasion of
Mexico on a scale that will Insure a
complete victory and be a guarantee
of permanent peace. When the call
for volunteers comes there will be im?
mediate need for at least a part of the
force called for, and the units that
are organized beforehand and have a
full complement of men will be the
first to be equipped and the first to be
sent to the front. It is in anticipation
of the call for troops and for the pur?
pose of being ready when the call is
made that Mr. Moses is starting now
r.o organize the Sumter Light Dra
icoons. He has already made an en?
couraging beginning and a number of
men have signed the reliminary roll.
".Co complete the troop eighty-six men
a nd three officers are needed, and it
is believed there should be no difficul?
ty in finding tht t many men in Sumter
county who want to serve in the cav?
alry, the arm of the service that will
be most needed and that will have the
best opportunity of active service on
the border and :n Mexico. Mr. Moses
was First Lieutenant of the Sumter
Light Infantry, Company M, First
Regiment S. C. Hnfentry, in the Span?
ish-American wi r and the experience
then gained shculd be of advantage
to him in the war to be fought in
Mexico.
The following have signed the enlist?
ment roll thus far:

TO llOLI) EXAMINATIONS FOR
STATE SC'ilOLARsillPS.
Applicants Required to File Necessary
Data?Financial Investigation by
Charities Board.
Columbia, June 29.?Scores of pros?
pective college students are inquiring
about the scholarships and the schol?
arship examination for Winthrop, the
University Of South Carolina and
Clemson college, and for the Citadel.
These examinations are under the con?
trol of the president and faculty of
each of the respective institutions.
Vacancies are never reported to the
State department of education, and
inquirers would be better served by
communicating directly with the sev?
eral college presidents rather than
with the State superintendent.
J. E. Swearingen, State superin?
tendent of education, has issued the
following statement:
"The competitive examination for]
Winthrop will be conducted by the
county superintendent at each coun?
ty court house Friday, July 7. The
competitive examination for the Uni?
versity and for Clemson will be held
July 14. The competitive examina?
tion for the Citadel will be held Au?
gust 11, in counties where vacancies
are to be fjlled this summer.
"Applicants should be careful to
hie with the- proper college authori?
ties all necessary data. No young
man or young woman can be award?
ed a scholarship until his or her ap?
plication has been submitted to the
State board of charities and correc?
tions, and until the board of charities
and corrections has reported the ap?
plicant as financially eligible. The
mental qualifications of applicants
will l>e graded by the respective col?
lege faculties. Competitors meeting
the intellectual requirements of the
several colleges and receiving a fa?
vorable report from the State board
of charities and corrections will be.
recommended to the State board of
education as scholarship beneficiaries.
"In every Case the holder of a
scholarship receives free tuition, to?
gether with ? valuable money stipend.
The law authorizes 1C8 scholarships
at Clemson, 124 at Winthrop, 68 at
the Citadel and 44 in the University.
Usually between one-sixth and one
third of these State scholarships are
to be filed every summer. In addition,
each college offers other scholarships
under the direct control of the presi?
dent, faculty and trustees."
