Rural Follceanna Boy kin Rewarded for Nights of Vigil. When he arrested Ben Murray, col? ored In Mr. C. J. Galllard'o store at Dalsell, Rural Policeman H. E. Boy kin felt himself repaid for nights of vigil within the store, for it Is bellev jal, therm which have been occurring from Mr. Galllard for some time will come to an end. Sometime ago Mr. Galllard noticed that certain articles were missing from his store. He reported the mat. tor to Rural Policeman Boykin, who at once got busy in an effort to trace the thief. A few nights later another entrance was made into the store and more stuff was missing next morning. About that time Mr. Boykin was con? vinced that Murray, who was employ? ed by Mr. Galllard, was the thief, but he had to have the proper evidence before he made the arrest. To secure this Mr. Boykin each night had him? self locked In the store and he spent the night there. Last Tuesday night someone came to the store and tried for about fifteen minutes to work the lock, but seemingly without success, as entrance was made and Mr. Boy? kin meantime was waiting In sus? pense Inside the store. Last night, however, Mr. Boykin heard some? one approach the store a# about 9:30 o'clock and he prepared for him. The look was picked and entrance effected. The man went to the cash drawer and opened It. but there was no money In It. He then went to the cash register and was endeavoring to force it, when Mr. Boykin covered him with his pistol and stopped him from further depre? dations. The negro was brought to town and lodged in Jail on the charge of burglary, to await trial. He stated that he had merely entered tho store out of curiosity, but this did not go with the officer.

Chamber of Commerce Furnishing Feed Free to Patron* of Sumier Market. It looks as though the tobacco planters of Suinter, Lee and Cl?ren* don counties are coins to replant their tobacco beds to a pretty heavy extent, if they can get the seed in time. The Sumter Chamber of Ccftnmerce received P 4 i pounds of Warne to? bacco see*., yesterday and by night one-third of this seed had been dis? tributed and the demand still kept up for seed. A few farmers have reported to the Chamber of Commerce that their tobacco beds show sigr >f bein? safe SI some of the plants are popping up above the soil. But these beds were planted about one week to ten days before the freeze. II is believed that a few days of warm weather will serve to show that the damage to beds was not as great as was first estimated or feared by the farmers. However, there were fully more than fifty per cent, of the btdi rained In the opinion of many old and exper? ienced tobaOCO planters. Time alone Mr. J. \v. Glcnni I etwee and man? ager of the Qtenn Tobacco Warehouse is furnishing the seed for the cus? tomers of his warehouse through the Sumter Chamber <>i Commerce, K? i Ions the seed last the Chamber of will tell.
