DpraOcmtk' Executive Coiubmltlcc Mol Tcdey ?ml Made Careful liisptvtion of Club Rolls. From The Dally Item, Aug. 12. Tlie Col nty Democratic Executive committee met In the Court House at 11 o'clock this morning, with a ma? jority of tho committee present, for the purpose of inspecting, revising uml purg.ng the club rolls. All of the roll books were carefully inspected and compared and all {regularities noted. Thei-'j were few irregularities found and these were of minor importance, i On Ward 1 club roll two names were fynnd irregularly entered, in that the nhuies were not written by the men flflLselves and were not witnessed by lMl^iber of the enrollment commit? tee. On Ward 2 club roll there was one nit in irregularly enrolled In the same respect. On Ward 3 club there was a name irregularly enrolled In the same re? spect. On Ward 4 club roll there were six names Irregularly enrolled in the same respect as on the other ward clubs From Privateer club an affidavit, was presented from Jesse H. Prltch ard stating that he and H. M. Pritch ard r.ad made application to be en? rolled between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock of the night of July 25th, the bun day of enrollment and that they Acre not permitted to enroll. They asked that the executive com mltteo enroll their names. On motion of Mi. Oeo. T. Geddings the names were ordered enrolled in the Privateer club hook, and that Mr. s. B. Kolb, who\ had charge of the book during the enrollment be notified of the ac? tion of the committee, in order that he may t le protest or objection to the enrollment, if the alleged facts stated in the Pritchurd affidavits are not true. Mr. W. W. Green of the Shiloh club called attention to the name of S. H. Mimirs on that club roll. He stated he wibte the name for Mr. Mimms and tliat it was due to his lnadvert ance. und not any fault of Mr. Mimms that his name was not written in full, as the rule requires. On motion Mr. Green was directed ^p correct this er? ror b) writing Mr. Mimms' full name on tht roll. The ? was one. name entered on both Trinity and Salem clubs, to which Mr. E. W. Dabbs, Jr.. called at Uutioiw stating that thin voter bud al? ways been a mender of Salem but lived nearer Trinity and that lie had signed both clph rolls and asked that the c? mmlttoe pass on it. On motion the na me was stricken from Salem club roll and the secretary directed to notify the voter that as he lived nearer Trinity his name had been left on that roll. A motion was adopted directing the secretary to notify all of those whose names were noted as having been ir? regularly enrolled. A cotnmltte con? sisting of J. H. Clifton, J. P. Booth, H. U Scarborough and 8. O'Quinn was appointed to hear and ngsa upon the showing made by those who were npt properly enrolled. If the explanation is not satisfactory these names will be stricken from the roll books. Theie was one name on Salem roll that v. as Improperly wltnesed. Theto being no other business the committee adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. "To <)no Who Went to Mexico." "Now you aro gone." The words 1 would have said, Come p!yin?. Meet and eager, through my head. 0 Like white-winged birds that clamor to go free, Deartnt; high hope of faith and vic? tory. And wee words, too, that hide behind the eyes, To fluf er forth like startled butter? flies Dear words, that I would have come ba( k to you, As my words, when the day's long inarch through, "And you are gone." Instead our words were all of our lea-it thought, * Tho shallow wit, the hollow laughter brought As If w e'd meet again, somewhere, to? morrow, And there win no such thing, to us, as sorrow, And no such thing as war, to you the past Cried out in warrior's blood, and you the last Of mighty lighting men. were first to go. No word was said, and yet, do you not know ? ' Now you are gone." ?B. DcU Small Boys Brenk into Warehouse. Four negro hoys between the ages of Ave and eleven years were arrested this morning charged with breaking into the warehouse of Oeo, i>. Bhoro Nc Itio. wholesalers, on Sunday and *. iIiuk a ?piantit. of chewing mini, candy and other similar stuff. The hovs were tnken before Magistrate 'Moore for trial, HOUHEllS ACTIVE SUNDAY. Residences of S. E. Miller and R. S. Moise Entered and Valuables Sto? len. -r The robber, or robbers, who have been very active in the city for the oast several weeks were again on their raids Sunday afternoon and evening, two residences having been visited and robbed during the day. The ilrst house entered was that of Mr. S. E. Miller, 110 West Calhoun street, at some time between I and 6 o'clock' Sunday afternoon, and the other? was that of Mr. R. S. Moise on Salem avenue be? tween 8 and 10 o'clock in the evening. tA each place the depredator got away with the goods. Mr. Miller and other members of his family were out riding in a car during the afternoon. On their re? turn shortly after 6 o'clock Mrs. Mil? ler noticed #that the watch, which she kept on her bureau, was gone, and further investigation revealed the fact that some one had gone through a trunk1 ana bureau in their room and taken Mr.?. Miller's pocketbook with two or three dollars in it and Mr. Miller's son's bank, which contained about three dollars. Mrs. Miller's watch was also stolen, although some cheap Jewelry, which she kept in her bureau, htid been gone through but not taken off. The thief made his en? trance to the house by breaking thrugh a screen window, the wooden ; slat on which the screen was moved up and down being torn away. Part of the she. was left lying on the floor, and it was in this way the raider's en? trance and exit was determined, as the screen was carefully replaced in the window. Everything had been care? fully replaced, so that had the watch not been gone It is doubtful If the theft would have been discovered un? til later. Mr. Miller had his watch in his trousers pocket on a chair in the room, but the watch escaped the thief's notice. Mr. and Mrs. Moise went out call? ing between 8 and 10 o'clock and It was during this time that their house was visited by the thief. Entrance was made through the screen window into the pantry. Mrs. Moise's pocket book with three dollars in it was gone, but nothing else seemed to be miss? ing. The thief must evidently have been looking tor money solely, as a handsome cameo brooch which was lying on the bureau was left unmolest? ed, while a single copper In the Jewel? ry case w,is taken.

The marriage of Miss Caroline Alice Perry of Greenville to Marion deVcaux Moore of Sumter county was celebrat? ed early yesterday morning by Dean Percy Robottom, rector of St. Timo? thy's church, at his residence on Park street, the couple leaving immediately afterward for Charleston, where they are spondlng a few days before going to the mountains for the remainder i of the summer.

Insure Safety for Border and to Miilgafc Rcstivcncss of Men Who Have Tired of Campaign in Home Staffle? Washington, Aug. 12.?All the Na ! Guard units included in Presi? dent Wilson*! call of June 18, not yet on the AI? xican border, were ordered there todnj by the war department. Between 20,000 and 25,000 addi? tional troops will thus be added to the bolder forces. National Guard troupe there will number approx? imately 12;,,000 and the total of all troops on ttie border or in Mexico will be 175,000. Secretary Baker made a formal an? nouncement that the troop movement had nothing whatever to do with-the Mexican situation as such and wis soleh to relieve thousands of troops now held In mobilization camps only because they lack a few recruits to bring unit.- up to lixed minimum rength. War department officials decided on their action because the troops are restive in camp and there seemed to be no stimulus to recruiting while there was no prospect of movement to the border. They now expect most of the regiments will be lllled before the troops' leave. Secretary Baker today made public a letter to a correspondent whose name was not disclosed, who had suggested that the government should discharge State soldiers who desired to return to their business careers. The secretary wrote: "A call to arms upon any body of men in the country, except the regular army, who make a profession of the military life, would inevitably inter? rupt business, professional and per? sonal careers, and it is impossible to imagine any situation In which the or? ganized militia or National Guard of the several States could be summoned into the federal service without hard? ship and inconvenience, and yet both the constitution of the United States and the laws made pursuant thereto recognize these militia and National Guard units as the secondary reliance of the government for the protection of the interests of the United Stute? and the lives of the citizens of the country. "The department regrets these in? conveniences and hopes that the emergency will rapidly disappear and that., there will he such a restoration of order and security on the frontier as will permit the speedy leturn of these citizen soldiers to their several civilian pursuits. In the meantime this department has taken steps to mitigate and relieve as far as possible the unusual and exceptional hardship.? which have arisen in classes especially subject to divtress by reason of the service demanded. To the extent that that can be done in fact it will bo done, but the primary consideration must; be the safety of our border and the preservation and protection of the lives of our citizens there. *Ht will be a source of great happi? ness to me when full relief can be given to these men who have placed themselves subject to this call of duty, and In the meantime I am filled with admiration for the spirit with which the militia has met the cull, and with which they are performing an import at and necessary service to their cojntry at this time." Mr. Sam Sanders has gone to New York und other points to buy good:; for the O'Donnell Dry Goods Company. Their new store is about completed und will be occupied by them ubout the first of September. DIZZINESS IS ANNOYING. As Many Sumter People Know Too Weil. When the kidneys, arc weak or dis? ordering, they fall behind in filtering the blood of poisons. As these pols- j ons attack the nerves, tho result is \ felt in spells of vertigo, just as drunk enness will make a man dizzy from 1 the poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness, headache, backache and irregularity of the kidney secretions are all signs of weak or disordered kidneys and should not be neglected. V?c Doan's Kidney Pills, the home-endorsed kid? ney remedy. Read this Sumter resi? dent's statement: J. K. Drakeford, retired farmer, 101 W. Hampton avenue, Sumter, says: "I was In such bad shape with my back and kidneys that I could hardly stoop, and It was just as hard to straighten. I had headaches and spells of dizziness, and the kidney so cretlons annoyed me by passing too freely. When I heard of Doan's Kid? ney Pills I got a box at DeLorme's Pharmacy. They relieved all signs of the trouble and put my kidneys in good shape." Price 6t)c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. Drakeford had.
