Saturday night after IL O'Clock Policemen

gave bis name as James Davis aud committed
him to the guard house on suspicion Davis
was wet and muddy from head to foot and
could give no satisfactory account of himself
When searched pistol and razor were found
on his person.
Monday morning john Davis applied to

Jaues Davis for stealing q mule. The war

ed to the Magistrate by the police. James
Davis broke into the stable of John Davis,
who is his brother, or half brother, stole a
mule and started to this city, but on the way
the mule got into deep hole in branch and
was drowned. John Davis found the dead
mule yesterday while tracking him in pursuit
of the thief On the face of the facts, as
stated, she case seems to be one of simpie
larceny of live stock, but it is intimeted on
the sother hand that family row is at the
bottom Of the trouble and the ownership o!
the mule may be brought into dispute.

jersey thoroughbreds are not in it

The natives are By no means beau
tifuI OF picturesque They look like
dark mu'attoes, but seem to be quite
intelligent. The half breeds, how
ever, are often beautiful aud show
little trace of native blood, they be-
coming full whites by one race step
From an acquaintance on board, who
has been there for SIX weeks, I learn
that they are very bright and
extremely friendly and hospitabIe
The wealth of the islands is in the
hands of Americans. Large fortunes
have been made here since the pas
sage Of the annexation bill, by spec
ulation in sugar plantation stocks.
The prettiest sight l witnessed at
this point was the departure of our
vessel. The band Of the 9th Regi-
ment on the transport lying at the
dock comes to play farewell tune.
(The 9th is bound for Manila and is
taking On provisions The residents
are nearly all down on the docks to
say goodbye to friends and acquain-
tances They have adopted custom
of the natives of decorating the
departing with garlands. They have
strings Of native flowers of all colors
arranged the same as the children at
home have ''four o'clocks'', only
about two feet long. These they pin
all over the person and it makes a
beautiful sight. Some of the pas
sengers who kindly pose for the

SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMES
TO SUMTER.
The Lease of the South Carolina &
Georgia Includes the Sumter &
Wateree.
Daily Item, May /.

The lease of the South Carolina i Georgia
r. R. to the Southern Railway has been pro-
doctive of no eod of speculation concerning
the effect The change will have upon Sumter
and the Sumter l. Wateree r. R in which
the people of this city are SO deeply interest
ed. AS 20 specific mention was made OF the
disposition of the Sumter Il Weteree IL the
newspaper reports Of tbs deal between the
South Carolina & Georgia and the Southern
i. has beeo feared by some people that the
Sumter & Wateree had shared the fate of the
Ohio River &, Charleston, low known as the
South Carolina 4 Georgia Extension, snd
had been kicked oat in the cold to shuttle for
itself. In order that the facts nigh. be
known, telegram was sent this morning TO
Mr. Charles Parsons, pres,dent and owner CT
the South Carolina l. Georgia r. K asking
the question, "Whst effect does the lease OF
the South Carolina & Georgia 10 the Southern
have upon the Sumter 4 Wateree ?'
The following is the reply received
To The Daily Item.
New York, Nay Telegram received.
The lease of the s. G. 4 G. iocluding Sumter
l. Watefee to the Southern Railway Co.
secures to the Sumter people competing
road of abeut six thousand miles il place OF
one Of three hundred.
Charles Parsons.
THIS disposes efsctually Of all doubt, and
assures the people of Sumter that the Sumter
l. Wateree has been taken care OF by Mr..
Parsons, that it will be completed as origi.
pally planned aod that it will be operated as
part of the Southern Railway, which is the
creates. railway system ever operated in the
south and today second Only to the Pennsyl'
vauia Railroad in America.
Sumter is not Injured by the change ia
ownership Of the Sumter l. Wateree, and the
chances ere that in the long run this city and
this section will be the gamers by the en-
trance of the Southern Railway ioto this
territory as a competitor of the Atlantic
Coast Line. We shall all hope 80, at any
rata, and the assurance that Sumter q to be q
competing point for the two greatest and
strongest railway systems in the south is a
guarantee that freight rates will be as low as
any other point similarly situated enjoys.
