misdemeanor punishment, which has
not vet been imposed. This case was
hard fought and aroused considerable
interest. Several cases for alleged Ylo-
lation of the liquor laws were postpon-
ed until the nth, while the grand jury
added one or two others to the long

NO CHANGE IN LOCAL MARKET
And Little Cotton Is Being Sold
Just Now.

The cotton market has not varied ten
points in a week, and in the face of
continued heavy receipts at the ports,
which can be but temporary, the ex-
pected advance has not been realized.
Very little is doing in the Amerlcus
market, and cotton men here do not
expect any great activity prior to the
holidays. A few scattering bales come
in every day, and while the man with
only two or three bales will close this
out, others who hold any considerable
amount will not sell now. The pre-
vailing price yesterday was % to %

STRANGE ERROR Is COMMITTED
By Grand Jury In the Election of
Commissioners.

One piece of work done by the grand
jury yesterday, if reports are correct,
will have to be undone by reconsider
alton. Sumter's board of county COM
mIssioners consists of five members,
and these are elected for term of four
years by the grand jury. This is the
year for the election of the county
board, and on yesterday the grand jury
proceeded Herewith. How the error
occurred is not known, but it is said
that six instead of five gentlemen were
elected-one more than the required
number. Commissioners WheatIey,
Eldridge, Perry and Thomas were re-
elected, while Messrs. j. Fl. Daniel
and @. S. s. Horne were both chosen
to fill the place of Commissioner Ray.

A HUMANE BULLET.
3 Which Will Do Away with the
Usual Frightful LAceratIons.

DR.. Robert M Mulnngs, OF Norwalk,
Conn.,, has invented what he believes
to be the most humane bullet yet Of
fered for use in civilized warfare. He
asserts it will do away with the fright
full decorations about which so much
has been written since the United
States engaged in war with Spain.
The bullet is not unlike an ordinary
bullet except that it has an opening,
which he calls a canal, practically all
the way through it. This opening. he
maintains, will prevent the explosion
of projectile air after the. bullet has
entered the body, and also will prevent
the entrance of air into the wound.
The new bullet has steel tube, ex-
tending from the tip to the butt, 80
fastened at each end as not to weaken
the bullet or give it an opportunity
to explode. At the back of the bullet,
against the opening into the tube, is
an aluminium wad, to prevent the e.
cape of the gas generated by the pow
der. As soon as the bullet leaves the
shell this aluminium wad detaches
itself, leaving the tube open.
