Two ninety-ton boilers and one of

have just been completed at the Ris-

transporting them from the plant to
the Alameda, lying off the Potrero,

task. The huge boilers may be dump

COMMITTEE FEELS
QUITE CONFIDENT.
That Americas Bill Will Go Through
AL Right.
IS BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE.
Representative Lane Fought the Meas
ure Before the House Committee,
But Americas Party is Assured the
Bill Will Go Through Now.

Mayor J. B. Fielder, City Attorney
Taylor, Mr.. j. Fl. Lumpkin and Prof
J. E. Mathie, who have been in Allan
ia for several days in advocacy of the
bill amending the city charter to the
end of electing all members of the
Police Board, now self perpetuating
body returned to Americas Yesterday.
Their efforts before the house COM
mittee were quite successful.
After great effort, and over the
strenuous opposition of Representative
W. T. Lane, the House committee
agreed to report the bill favorably and
it is even now upon the House calen-
dar.
The proposed measure, as the gen.
eral public well understands, is to
change the method of electing the five
members constituting the Police Com
mission of Americas and now a self
elective body. 1t is desired that they
be elected either by. the voters of
the city or.by council.
And upon this point came hitch be-
fore the committee.
AS originally drafted, the bill pro.
posed the election of the police board
by the city council, and thus the meas
ure was duly advertised as required.
Representative Joiner, however, OBJ.
| jected to this method and the commit.
tee of citizens then agreed to amend
the bill making the com mission cleo
tive by the people This suited Mr..
Joiner and the bill went before the
committee Here it met opposition
from Representative Lane.
Opposed to the measure In its en-
tirety, Mr.. Lane proceeded to fight il
to finish, raising the point that the
measure did not appear as in the origi-
nal and as it had been advertised.
Again it was changed to the original
form, making the members OF the
board elective by council, though
Mayor Fielder and his committee were
perfectly willing to the change sug'
gested by Mr Joiner and which made
the board elective by the people. But
Mr.. Lane defeated this plan.
Ard in its original form the bill il
now before the House.
The measure is an excellent one and
despite the opposition of one of oul
members the proposed amendment tc
the charter should go through and be-
come law. In this democratic coun.
try the people or their representatives
should fill all offices This is democ.
racY.
The measure is intended for the
public veal and Is not aimed at the de-
feat of any man or set of men

SUMTER SUPERIOR
COURT CONVENES
Fall Session Will Begin Tomorrow
Morning.
DOCKET IS NOT A HEAVY ONE.
Judge Littlejohn Will Enter Upon
Civil Business Monday Grand Jury
Will Also Enter Upon It's Sworn
DutY-Call of the Docket.

Sumter superior court will be con-
Yened in regular session tomorrow
morning, Judge T. A. Littleiohn pre-
siding, and probably until the APP
preach of the Christmas holidays the
mills of Justice will grind Oh, dispos-
ing of the usual amount of business
both civil and criminal.
However, the dockets are not nearly
so heavy as in years past.
Crime has certainly decreased in
Sumter county. Not a murder case
appears upon the docket thus far, and
of the several prisoners in Jail most Ct
them are held on misdemeanor charges.
OF course the grand jury may de-
Yelop a considerable amount of bust
ness, which will furnish grist for the
judicial mill for some time. That
body will meet tomorrow morning,
and after receiving the charge of the
court will proceed at once to rigid
investigation of affairs.
The grand jury drawn for this term
is an excellent one, and composed OF
the following well known citizens.
A. B. Croxton, w. w. Davis, F. W.
Griffin, Geo. D. Wheatley, J. G.
CLARK, r. S. Oliver, D. s. Derrick,

G. A. Fricker, L. G. Henderson, w.
NJ. McMath, q. Fl. Mcclellan, D. q. N
Burkhalter, E. II. Cheek.
Certainly very excellent body OF
workers, and they will carefully look
into the affairs of the county.
Tomorrow will be pretty well taken
up in the assignment of cases and dis
posing of any ready for immediate
trial. Not more than two or three
weeks will be taken up with the civil
docket, and as criminal business will
be light this time the session will not
be long one.
Business IN Superior Court IS con.
siderably Iessened by the recent ses'
sion of the City Court, where nearly
seyenty-fve misdemeanor cases were
disposed of during the past two weeks.

OF BoLLs DECAYING
Though Large In Size They Will New

The solid freeze of last Tuesday, fol-
lowing after rain, put an end to the
prospect of top crop of cotton, In
many fields the stalks are loaded with
green bolls, fully grown, and had the
freeze come two weeks later these
boIls would have opened and the crop
output increased to that extent. But
the freeze nipped this in the bud and
thousands of bushels of other wise
good bolls are now rotten on the stalk
and absolutely worthless. Already
they are soft and "mRshy" and not
one of them will yield its feecY wealth
