The track of the Northwestern Railroad

built and toe track laid on it for the use OF
the construction train WHICH was engaged in

was built on benches would be stout enough
to support the weight of the material trsin

when the attempt was made to back the train
across the trestle it collapsed under the heavy
load. The engine was not turned over in the
swamp but remained on the rails when the
trestle collapsed and now rests On the rails in

subjected when the track settled down to the

Fire Scare in the Opera House.

There was for time Saturday afternoon
considerable excitement smcug the occupants
Of the Opera House and the whole crowd was
apcrehensive that the city was is for another
Opsra House FIRE. The rear portion of the
building was filed with smoke which appear
ed to proceed in volumes from lamber and
store room near the clerks Office. This room
YVES opened but 90 ere was discovered. The
crowd that had gathered then proceeded to
90 over the entire building in search of the
Ere. The whole upper foor was also filled
with snoke, but no FIRE was found. Finally
they went into the guard house, and there
they found Bill Finney burning rags ins bis
cell 10 drive out the mosquitoes which had
gathered in swarms. He had, however, made
more smoke than be had oargained foc and
he was found with his face pressed against
the cell door gasping for breath. Plenty Of
smoke from buraing rags is said to be 5ne
thing to drive out hungry Smosquitoes, but in
the long run i. might be cheaper for the city
TO provide wire doors for the cells TO keep the
mosquitoes out, Cor careless handling OF FIRE and
rags might start costly 6re, and it doesn t
pay to take unnecessary risks 10 bulldio e

4 Great Water supply.

II is customary for the water level of weEs
and driven pumps to fall duriug proracted
drought, and it not iufrequeutly happens that
wells and pumps fail entirely. The bored
wells at the pu nping station Of the Sumter
Water Co. are different from other wells and
are not to be judged by rules governing
ordinary wells and driven pampa: for duri' g
the past week the water level in these wells
has rieen more than two feet, and the supp!y
of water, always considered iuexhaustiole,
appears TO Re even rore abundant than ever.
" ben the water began to rise and continued
to rise inch sfler inch, despite the long con-
tinued dry weather and deficient. rain fall
during the past three months, Mr. W. Fl
Epperson, who has charge of the pumping
station, concluded that there vas something
wrong with bis pumps, so be took the big
pumps TO pieces and gave them thorough
overhauiing But when ne had put them
together again and started to pump the guage
indicated that the water was still rising and
it has continued to rise, as stated, until the
level is now more than two feet higher than
it was mooth ago.

THE SOUTHERN AND A. c. L
At LoGGERHEADs.
The a. C. L. Refuses to Connect
Side Tracks With Southern at
Cotton Mill

On Saturday there was conflict between
toe Atlantic Coast Lre authorities and the
Southern Railway construction corps at toe
Sumter Cotton Mill, md while The two par
ties treated each other with all the politeness
possible and did not come TO blows, the
incident was an Indication that the two roads
are aot toe ssame as one' as some people
baye asserted. 1t does not look like the
Southern ioterds to turn over the Suuter
aud Wateree to the Atlantic Coast Line, nor
did the action of the representatives of the two
roads strengthen the claim paade by interested
parties that the Southern will use the Allan
tic Coast Line depots and that one agent will
have charge of the business OF both roads
The conhict srose over the location of
side track that the Southern is putting in at
the Cotton Mill. The most convenient way
for the side track to have been laid would
have been tc JOIN the Soutnern's side track
TO the end of The Coast Line spur at the mill
platform, thus forming contiouous track
alongside the mill and making connecting
link between the two roads at the most con-
venieat place for the transfer of cars from
one road 10 The other. The Southern was
willing to make the connection In this man
ner, and the mill officers expressed wiling
ness to have the eide tracks so laid aud used,
but when the matter was brosched to the
Coast Line the conn ection was forbidden in
peremptory manner The Soutbern's side
track was therefore laid between the mill and
the Coast Lines spur, there being plenty Of
room for it, In laying this track the eud OF
the Coast Lines spur was moved 20 one side
about eight inches, bat as soon as this was
done the Coast LiUe sent gang of hands
TO the mill ard had the spur moved back to
its original location. This change did not
block the Southern and the only effect was
to make the curve little sharper. The SIDE
track was laid and tie Southern now has the
inside track at the Cotton Mil.

The game of bail yesterday afternoon be-

The game wss without special features, both
pitchers were hit freely and there were but
seven men struck out during the entire game,
four of theee strike-outs gong to the credit
of Elloree and three to Sumter. The grounds
were wet and this was disadvantage that

there is great need Of reform in Sumter, for
it is carried entirely too far. A little good

way the crowd treats visiting teams is wrong,

Pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Some years ago had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretchei
condition. / procured bottle Of Ayers
Cherry pectoral and took 10 according to the
directions, and at the end Of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound az before the attack. !

monia since, and have never known it to fail
in efecting a cure"
