A COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE,
The Records of all the County Officers
Here.

As' will be seen from the present
ments of the grand jury, that body ap-
points a special committee of three cit
liens, Messrs. W. Fl. @. Dudley, John
A. Cobb and J. J. Hanesley, who will
employ an accountant and have exam
ined the books and records of all the
county officers of Sumter. The grand

same work at each term of court to the
best of their ability, but the task, this
grand Jury thinks, can be more thor
oughly and satisfactorily done in the
manner suggested in the general pre-
sentiments.

PLEASING PLAY IS PRESENTER
By Leavitt's Fine Company On Last
Evening.

While the unpropitious weather kept
many theatre-goers from the opera
house last night the audience that wit
messed the presentation of "The Spi-
der and Fly" was we'll pleased. The
show was brimful of catchy vaudeville
features, and the scenic effect was ex-
ceilent. The ballet was all that could
| be desired. Miss Florence WOleott as
Queen of the Mermaids diplayed So
prano voice of very fine quality. Miss
Margaret Mayfeld adds to striking
personality a contrslto voice that is
quite out of the ordinary. The audi
ence was caught by the clever acrobat
ic work of "Arminta, and the comedy
sketches of Carl Anderson were dis
tinctly good.

AS TO THE KING.

Col. Epes Randolph gives out the following information concern, ing the King:
 II am sorry to find among the people of Yuma so entire a mis- apprehension of the relations which exist between s. Morgan Smith and the King of Arizona company. MT. Smith, as a matter of fact, as we claim, has entirely failed Tn many important particulars te comply with the contract made with our company by himself and Blaisdell. At no time, however, has it been our purpose or desire to restrict the contractors to their legal rights only. I am amazed that Mir. Smith should make and swear to the statements which are contained in his complaint which has been filed at Yuma. MT. Smith, tor his agents has disseminated copies of this complaint broadcast throughout the c untry and he seeks to convey the impression that we are attempting to deprive him, by fraudulent methods, of all compensation for the money and time spent by him and his partner As matter of fact, we made every honest endeavor to adjust matters with MT, Smith amicably. We offered him all of the money which his books show that he has spent, with twenty-five per cent profit upon such sum and an additional one thousand dollars a month for lis own services from the date of the execution of the contract to the time of the offer. This effer was made to him in Los Angeles about thirty days ago, in the Hollen beck hotel, in the presence of his son and counsel and H. B. Gleason, former ly of Yuma. When he declined this effer, we offered to give him stock in the company in return for all of the money which hls books show that he invested, at the same price that we paid the original prospectors for tie stock nearly three years ago, without allowing ourselves interest upon the money which was then paid. This offer he likewise declined.
 We regret the inevitable litiga- tion; bot feel that we have honor ably exhausted every effort to effect a fair settlement, and if MT. Smith should find himself at law entitled 70 less than we have offered him, he can blame nothing but his own cupidity."
