POLICE CHASING THE DODGERS
Officers Taking Turn Among The
Delinquents.

For several days past the persistent
hunt after street tax defaulters insti-
tuted by the police has created great
stir among the colored loafing element,
and a couple of hundred, perhaps, who
never pay penny's tax have been
compelled to settle up arrears. HAY
ing pretty we'll canvassed the town for
colored dodgers the police are now
after the whites, and meeting with I'M
expected success. Already a large
number of cases have been docketed
for next Monday, the dellnquents ow-
ing street tax from two to seven years
back. A thorough house to house
canvass is going to be made at once,
which may result in the catching of a
large number of non-payers and the
loading up of the city treasury with
coin of the realm.

oUONDAM JURORS ARE KICKING
Because Names Were Omitted From
Jury List.

When the list of names of qualified
jurors of Sumter is published shortly
the rumbling sounds of discomfort will
reach the proportions of a virtuous
howl. AS stated in the Times-Re-
corder, at the time of the jury box re-
vision two or three weeks ago, between
400 and 500 names were dropped from
the jury list for cause sufficient to the
commissioners, though the principal
trouble was that hundreds of property
owners failed to make returns of their
property this year and consequently
their names did not appear upon the
tax digest from which the list of Jurors
is made up, OF course these delin-
quents have only themselves now to
blame for their negligence, but others
who did make property returns, and
whose names were omitted, are won :
dering why.

FOUR VISITS FROM BURGLARS.
Residents of College Street in State
of Alarm.

Yesterdays Times Recorder suggest
ed that perhaps the gang of burglars
operating here recently had gone away,
inasmuch as their presence at any
place recently had not been reported.
A resident of College street declares,
however, that the gang is still here
and quite recently has made four at
tempts to break into his residence.
On one occasion the colored cook saw
two men at the rear door of the house,
her cries frightening them away. A
policeman may be detailed to watch
that particular locality for night or
two in an effort to catch these wander
ing plunderers.

Applicants For Position is State Of
Uncertainty.

inst who will be principal of the
high school here is question of much
interest to the three gentleman who
recently stood the examination for that
position, The examination was held
some two or three weeks ago, but the
result must be determined by the
Board of Education, which elects the
teachers. Three members of the board
are out of the city and the election may
be deferred until their return in Sep

NEW ASSOCIATION
Of Spanish War Veterans Organized at
 Chattanooga

Chattanooga, Tenn, August q. - The United States Volunteer Association, the membership of which is expected to exceed 100000. was formed here today, with Colo mel Richard Henry Savage. of New York; who commanded the Battalion of Engi- neers in the Cuban campaign. president, and w. c. Liller of this city, secretary.
 The objects of this association are identi- cal with those of Spanish war orders ex- cepting that all individuals who served in the regular or volunteer ormy, navy or marine corps during the war can become members without first joining local camps, as is customary in other Spanish war so- cieties. Any person who may have rem dered creditable and valuable services to the government during that war may be- come an honorary member It will be a strictly non-partisan, non-sectonal and non-sectarian organization.
 Colonel Savage, in outlining the objects of the new order, says:
 'The condition of the returned volunteers is in many instances pitiful, some having been unable to procure employment, which they left in order to serve under the flag, while others are wrecked physically. This order has been formed for mutual protec- ton. We hope to find employment for the unemployed and take care of those who are unable to take care of themselves. The membership fee is so small that it will enable many who cannot afford to join the other societies to swell our numbers. We hope to bring about legislation in State and nation in our behalf, and think the success of our venture is already assured"
 The constitution of the new order pro- fOr a of Gy,a ,;-t, American war and the incident war in the Philippines, and of the association and it's members requires the collection of all available data.

CONSUL
 TELLS IF ESCAPE
Says Prince Tuan is the Main Cause of the Chinese
 Troubles.

Marseilles, August 27.-M. Francoise, French Consul at Yum Nan Sen, arrived here today aboard the steamer Tonkin. When questioned with regard to the causes of the troubles in China he replied that the first cause was the hatred the na- tives felt for the foreigners After that, in his judgment, came the overwhelming ambition of Prince Tuan, inspirer of the Imperial policy.
 "Tuan it was" said M. Francois, "who prepared everything He was able by his Machiavellian skill and by the assistance of his creatures to get an imperial order delivered the same day in all the provinces of China directing the massacre of for eigners if they refused to leave. ......
 Referring to the danger run by colony so small as that at Yum Nan, he said:
 'It was so great that I am certain a formal order to massacre us had already arrived from Pekin. The Viceroy had promised the mob to hand us over in cages. Fearing our means of defense, the Man. darnS dared not act, but they tried to hinder our departure by pillaging our bag gage. Finally, the fantai, or secretary general proposed to accord to us an au- thorization to leave on condition that we placed hostages in the hands of the Chi nese authorities. This I refused with in- dignation, declaring that l intended to leave June 24 and that was ready to cut my way through all obstacles. It was just then that the dispatch from M Delcasse arrived"

ID GIVE UP ROME ID THE HIERARCHY Such is Said to Have Been King Humber Is h.
 tentiOn.

London, August 2S.-"As a result of out cry against the declaration of the Osser- yatore Romano" says the French corre- spondent of the Daily Express, that the late King Humber had been meditating giving up Rome to the hierarchy, the cleri- cal papers have been instructed to publish a statement giving confirmation and de- tails.
 According to this account, King Hum- bert, some months before his death, wrote to Cardinal Giuseppe Frisco, Archbishop of Naples, requesting that a trustworthy priest be sent to hear his confession. A priest was sent, but absolution was refused unless Humbert would agree to abdicate and give up Rome. The King asked time to consider, as he was anxious to receive the sacrament, and, according to the cleri- cal version, 1t was this communication to che priest that induced the Holy See to grant Christian burial King Hunlberts letter to Cardinal Frisco will be publishes. A circular note from the Vatican to the Catholic powers declares that so long as Italy contests the rights of the Holy See the Pope will only recognize Victor Rman- uel as King of Sardinia. The note appeals to the powers to relieve the Pope from an intolerable situation, declaring that the condition of the papacy under Italian rule Is steadily growing worse."

 JOIN REPUBLICANS
Distinguished Cuban Does Not Agree With the Present
 Administration.

Havana, August 27-Senor Lanuza, for mer Secretary of Justice who has recently asked to represent the Republican party of Cienfuegos in the forthcoming Constitu- tiona1 Convention, published today a pri- vate letter written last April, in which he gives his reasons for not joining the Re- publicans. He takes this step in order to explain his exact position.
 T do not join the Republican party" he says, because 1 do not agree with the two political ideas of that party, namely the immediate cession of intervention and accession of absolute independence. If in- tervention were to cease before Cuba had become well established upon a sound economical basis then dark days would be in store for us. As the republic is estab- lished, the United States should maintain for some time international relations with Cuba, especially with reference to Cuba $ dealing with other countries and should also have the right of approving or dis approving Cuban loans above certain amount
 Moreover, the American government should uphold Cuba before the world In deed, if the United States were not to do these things then the prospects would be gloomy. What is needed is a frank avowal from Washington that the United States will guarantee sound and efficient government in Cuba. This is requisite to a restoration of confidence"

WALCO1T LAID DOWN
 IN ELEVENTH ROUND
Referee White Gave Decision in
 Favor of West.
CR0OKEDNESS SUSPECTED
Walcott's Share of the Money Will Not be Given Him, But Will be Do mated to Some Charita-
 ble Institution

New York August 27.-The fight between Tommy West and Joe Walcott, which was the main attraction at the Twentieth Gen. tury Club in Madison Square Garden ended in a most peculiar manner tonight. The bout had gone eleven rounds very much in Walcott's favor, as he had punished West very badly about the body and had him in very weakened condition. When the bell rang for the twelfth round to the surprise of everybody Walcott refused to go on, claiming that he had injured his left arm.
 Referee Charley White. suspecting crook edness, insisted on Walcott continuing, but the negro refused to resume. This left White no alternative than to declare West the winner There was quite large sum of money wagered, with West the favor ite and the referee was outspoken regard- ing Walcotts peculiar actions While said
 'Walcott was not injured; he quit de- libera tely and it was my candid, confirmed opinion that he was not actuated in quitting by some dishonest motive. l believe that Walcott was encouraged to act as ne dlo by some person closely connected with him. That he should act thus is no surprise to me, as he established q precedent for sim liar work in San Francisco not so very long ago.
 And I think it was a scheme to hurt the management of the Twentieth Century Club which has all along acted in good faith"
 Manager eKnnedy, in behalf of the club, announced that Walcotts share of the mon- ey would not be given to him, but would be donated to some charitable institution. There were many anxious inquiries as to whether the bets made would be called off, but Manager Kennedy on behalf of the club said that as betting in New York was H. legal, he was sorry that the club could take no cognizance of wagers made, otherwise all persons connected with the Twentieth Century Club would be glad to call all bets off.
