ed to jump through the window and
fell on the tracl; and was killed by the
wheels of the car. It is rather an

There was some annoyance at qhe
Opera House Friday night, caused by

Officers Smith and McKagen arrest
ed Sidney Farmer, colored, Monday for
beating his wife and son. Farmer
runs a restaurant on Main street, next
to Witherspoon Bros & Co.'S store. It

fuss X'' and went home in a bad
humor. He, did not go to the lock up
willingly. but had to be pursuaded by
the officers. The Mayor fined him Sl5
or 80 days.

will give it a large patronage, also,
for it is "a play we'll worth seeing.
The students will do all in their power
to put it on in frst-class style.
The first issue of the 'Sumtonian. I"
the journal of the S. M. A. and +. S.,

beginning the journal makes very
fair appearance, but is rather scarce
on reading matter and the Joke de-
M rtnent contains some hits that are
hard to comprehend. However, the
8. Sumtonian'' will, no doubt, i'm
prove with time.

One Of the most attractive exhibits
in the Sumter County section at the
Charleston Exposition will be that OF
the Sumter Water Company. The
water will be displayed in large glass
vessel to show its purity and clearness
and it will be kept on tap to quench
the thirst of the thirsty. A fresh
supply will be shipped to Charleston
for this public drinking fountain daily
during the Exposition.
The management of the telephone
exchange wishes all subscribers and
others to know that they are required
to call for connections by numbers
and not by name. The operators in
central'' can't remember ali the
numbers on the exchange list, espe-
cially since so many new ones are be-
ing added daily. When you call for a
connection, you will hear the operator
call number and you had better be
ready to yell it out or you may get
left.
The first exhibit from this county
for the Charleston Exposition was
brought in yesterday to the depot in
the Masonic Temple. 1t consists of a
number of specimens of iron ore from
the plantation of Col. W. d. Scar
borough, near Dalzell. Few people,
no doubt, ever knew there was iron
ore in Sumter county. Some of the
specimens are quiet large and heavy.
Other exhibits are expected to arrive
during the next few days.

DarIinuton Denot Burned.

The Atlantic Coast Line freight de-
pot at Darlington was burned Wednes-
day night. The depot was filed with
freight and the loss was quite large.
The origin of the fire has not been de-

accidental. The depot was new

few months age to replace the old de-
