JUDGE GROESBECK AND SOCIAL
ISM,

The address OF Judge G]roesbeck to
the Woman's club Saturday afternoon
was, the polished argument of the train
ed lawyer. 1t was superior to the ad-
dress Of Prof. Mills from a socialistic
standpoint in that it was less practical
and more indefinite ia conclusions. 1t
appealed to the unfortunate and laid
their distress ut the door OF the com
petitive system. 1t pointed to the best
things in life as the direct result of
socialistc tendencies. 1t threshed over
all the ills that populists and free sill.
Verites complained OF and held up so.
cialism as the great and only pana.
cea. The old ghosts wore new clothes.
but the Judge is an adept at cutting
such cloth.
Mills a not agreed with fully.
Matters OF detail must be adjusted al,
ter socialists get control of the reins.
Socialists are not free lovers" said
Judge Groesbeck. Il do not mean to
say socialistic writer's have not favor.
ed it. but it is not in the platforms Of
socialistic parties"
Will Judge Groesbeck name some
socialistic writers who have discussed
the relations of the sexes who do not
favor something equivalent to free
love? Thus far the fruits are the pub,
lished statements and by their fruits
ye shall know them"
Fifteen million American homes
were representative Of the socialistic
idea. This leaves beyond the sublime
portal only the old bachelors and the
old maids and many Of those may be
drawn in by the asking.
In relation to tramps, the judge had
read the statement that they were the
result Of o~verworked children. Under
socialism no one would be overworked
and hence there could be no tramps.
Did anyone ever hear Of a boy work.
ing so hard that he became a tramp?
The Judge was asked how the

about. and replied that it was his be.
lief the organized concerns would be
taken first. The railroads. the tele.
graph lines, the telephone companies,
the trusts and other great corporations,
being thoroughly organized, could be
easily taken over by the government.
After this was successfully accomplish
ed, the government could go after the
landowners and small property own
ers OF all kinds. The matter OF com
pensation he did not discuss, but prob.
ably 1t is his idea to follow the Mills
doctrine Of waiting to see what the
other fellow will do when his property
is gone after.
In reply to the pertinent query
What will be done with the indolent?'
Judge Groesbeck said they would be
compelled to do their share Of the
work. They might be put In a well
where the water was constantly rising
and made to pump or drown. A tread
mill might be brought into requisition
This would OF course mean that II
a man did not choose to do the work
assigned him by the state Official in
charge. punishment would follow
Such a system would leave the door
open to all sorts OF favoritism and dis
telling masses would be little better

S. Nj. a. Again Defeats the Medical
College.

In very short game of foot ball at
the park Friday afternoon the cadets
from the Sumter Military Acadmey
defeated the S. C. Medical students
IL to O.. The game was very short, the
halves being only 10 minutes each.
Charleston won the toss and kept the
ball most of the time during the first
half, playing slow trying to kill time.
During nine minutes of bucking they
carried the ball only about forty
Yards. Then Sumter took brace and
secured the ball on downs on her
twenty yard line. In two plays Sum-
ter ran the ball to Charleston's ten
yard line. Time was up for the first
half. With few seconds more ct
plays Sumter would have easily car
ried the ball over.
Second Half-Charleston kicks to
Sumter and in IA minutes play the
ball is carried over for a touchdown:
Cuttino kicks beautiful goal the ball
being only about yards from the side
line. Charleston kicks to Sumter and
by steady bucking and running the
ends another touchdown is made for
Sumter. No goal is kicked. Sumter
is going for another touchdown when
time is called with ball about 10
Yards from the goal. Final sccore,
Sumter, IL; Charleston, o. George
and Cuttino carried the ball over for
the two touchdowns. =.
Only a very small crowd was out to
see the game and consequently the
s. M. A. boys lost money on the trip.
The guarantee was $50. On the first
game 500 was taken in, and on the
second So was received, SO it may easily
be seen how much the boys lost. 1t is
hard that Sumter will not support as
fine team as she has this year. The
S. M. A. boys have in four games
made so points to their opponents
nothing.

THE CARNIVAL BALL.
The Queen Crowned and Many Loyal
Subjects Do Homage.

The coronation of the "Queen of the
Carnival and the ball given In hon.
or of the Queen and her Maids OF
Honor in the spacious ball room Of the
Sumter Club were the events of the
Carnival, which the society and many
of the visitors, who are In town for
the weeks festivities, had looked for
ward to with the keenest and most
pleasant anticipation. The induction
into Office of Miss Aida Winn, the
Chosen Queen of the festival, was Gel.
ebrsted last Thursday evening and all
who were present and participated
spent 8 most enjoyable evening and
had all anticipations realized to the
fullest. 49,.
Promptly at the stroke Of nine, the
friends and admirers. of Miss Aida
Vim were assembled in the bali
room to give homage and honor TO
Her most Royal Majesty the Queen.
Upon the arm of Mr.. 81. j. Grover,
Chancellor. Commander Of GamecockS
Lodge, K. of P, the Queen entered
the hall and proceeded to the east
corner of the room, followed by her
Maids of Honor, Miss Zoe Hall and
Miss Ida Stancill, whore they were
joined by Mayor. Stuckey, who, with
u few appropriate remarks, placed the
lovely crown on her head and gave
her full sway to command, at her
will, her loving subjects. ),
Miss VIM was an ideal Queen and
reigned with an ease and grace that
would have done honor to any foreign
princess. Her popularity was SHOWN
not only by the selection, but the
sought for dnring the entire evening,
and it was, indeed, an honor to be
favored with dance. -,
Light refreshments were served and
every one. had royal good time,
until the stroke of twelve when the
Queen ordered every one to their
homes to continue to enjoy them
selves throughout her reign.

Dennis Potts Kills Pip sfewart-Potts
Surrenders TO SherifEciaiming
Self Defense.

Dennis Potts, colored, was waiting
at the Court House Monday mornlne g
before any of the county Offices were
opened, and as soon as Deputy Sherlff
Gaillard arrived he went into the Office
and surrendered himself. He stated
that he had shot Pip Stewart, another
negro, Sunday night, and that Stewart
died almost Immediately. He claims
that the killing was done in self
defense, and that he did not shoot
until he saw that he had to do so or
lose his own life.
Coroner S. F. Flowers went out to
hold an inquest and returned about /
O'Clock from Britton's store, near
Broedon's, where he held an inquest
over the dead body of Elias Stewart,
alias Pip Stewart, who was shot to
death Sunday night by Dennis Potts.
The evidence brought out at the In.
quest was that Potts and Stewart had
a row while on the way home from
church, and that while they did not
come to blows they cursed each other
in vile manner. Potts went to his
house. for lis gun and coming out to
the road shot Stewart through the
chest, causing almost instant death.
The gun was loaded with mixture
Of Nos. and 6 shot.
The verdict Of the jury was that
"Elias Stewart came to his death
from gun shot wound, the gun be-
ing in the hands of Dennis Potts. !"
The inquest did not bear out the
statement of Potts that he acted solely
in self defence in shooting Stewart,
and he may have considerable dlt1-
onltv in cecnrino bond.

The Carnival Committee Of Game
Cock Lodge on Monday presented
Chief of Police Bradford with check
for SIG to be divided among the
regular members of the city police
force. The Carnival committee ap-
preciated very highly the conscient tious
work the police did during the Carni- :
val and the check was slight testl-
monial of that appreciation.
Game Cock. Lodge, K. Of 2. receiv-
ed as its share Of the Carnival about
$500, from which the expenses incur
red by the Lodge in advertising. the
Carnival hiring door keepers for the
shows, ETC., will be deducted. The net
profits to the Lodge is quite neat
sum, but the committee worked hard
for every cent the Lodge received and
it is possible that an easier way OF
earning that much money might De
found.
The closing of the dispensary last
Saturday was great and grievous
disappointment to many of the regular
patrons of the concern, who had not
laid in supply to last through Satur-
day and Sunday. The public was not
advised in advance of the closing of
the dispensary, as it was thought best
to say nothing about it beforehand.
The closing was simply precautionary
measure as it was feared that the
Saturday crowd might imbibe too
freely of dispensary liquor which,
combined with the Carnival, might
created disorder on the streets.
