CLUB ROLLS REVISED.
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

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

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."

Dear words, that I would have come

No word was said, and yet, do you not

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. They will be at Vic?
toria Road, Asheville, until the late
fall, when they expect to go to the
ancestral home of the Moores, "The
Oaks," Stateburg, to live.
"Mrs. Moore Is the daughter,Ot, the
late Col. and Mrs. William Perry of
Old Pendleton and is not only promi?
nently connected in the Piedmont but
Is widely known throughout South
Carolina. Having lived in Sumter at
one time she already has a number of
friends in the town and county who
will welcome her as a resident.
Mr. Moore has for years been a
member of the aristocratic Old State
burg "neighborhood" which has play?

times he has resided for short periods
j In Columbia and he still retains mem?

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.
