THE GAME COCK C0UNTY.
Sumter's Exhibit in the Agricultural Pal
ace is Now Almost Ready for, Trans
portation.

The Sumter County exhibit in the
Palace OF Agriculture has been con-
siderably improved in appearance
within the past few days and now
bids fair, when completed, to cause
other counties to look to their laurels.
Commissioner A. W. Suder and
Special Commissioner George E..
Haynsworth, Of the Telephone Manu-
featuring Company of Sumter, and
Health Officer E. I. Reardon took
down and completely rearranged the
Sumter exhibit yesterday with salts
factory results.
The Sumter exhibit is not complete
by good deal, but Special Commis-
sioner Reardon has been keeping hls
weather eve open and observed Just
what other counties have, and when
he returns to report to city council
and county commissioners what Capt.
A. W. Suder wants, things will start
towards the Exposition from the Game
Cock County to enter the race for a
prize.
The ucy-looking game cock just
over the Sumter exhibit entrance is
Just itching to flap his wings and crow,
but when he looks across the way at
the Spartanburg exhibit be SINNERS
down to await further developments.
Sumter's game cock, however. looks
down with pride upon the Sumter
pumpkins, sweet potatoes and t1rnips,
which are the largest in the shcw, and
the exhibit of corn, oats, wheat, rice,
barley, peas, sugar cane, nuts, mo-
lasses, cotton, cherries, shredded corn,
hay, Irish potatoes, tomatoes and other
agricultural products show up well
and are so hard to beat that the rooster
winks the other eye. The manusac-
turing exhibits are not all in yet, but
the Telephone Manufacturing Com
pany, of Sumter, (old company
though not half complete is scientific
and practical illustration of what
South Carolina can do with her natu-
raj resources.
The exhibit is deficient in horticul-
tural productions but with such a line
field the commission say they Will yet
come up TO the scratch.
Sumter's fine water exhibit and
several hundred gallons of the famous
pure Sumter water, which Sumter had
I6aOy 10 Sli was 1871 c1e 9AO a AoAo1 oAS
Coast Line Railroad depot in Sumter
because of the exorbitant charges of
the railroad company. Mr.. Reardon
says that it costs much more to ship
an exhibit of chemically pure Sumter
water than to ship chemicllly pure Blue
Steel, and that if the railroad COM
panies can help it Charleston Exposi-
ton exhibitors and visitors won't have
an easy time or cheap rates either
getting there.
He IS pleasantly surprised at the size
and excellence Of the Exposition in
general and thinks the Expsition now
better thar the Atlanta Exposition or
any that he has seen.
The Exposition Company and Super
intendent A. W. Love. of the State ex-
hibit, have done all that they can to
assist Sumter visitors and exhibitors,
and the Exposition, he thinks, will
yet be success financially, as thou
sands of people are waiting for the
completion of the exhibits in full.
Many Sumter people ran down this
week and we're pleased with the
Exposition.-News and Courier, Jan.

The members of the Second Regi-
ment Band are hard at work arrang
ing for concert to be given in the

their director, is a thorough musician
and will prove at the concert that ne

turn out in large numbers as it is
promised and will be different from
any they have ever given as we'll as a
great improvement.

Fire Alarm Thursday Night.

The alarm of fire Thursday night was
caused by a small fire at Capt. John
Reid's residence. The fire started in
a bed room from a spark from the
open fireplace, it is supposed, and
had gained some little headway before
it was discovered. Prompt measures
were taken to extinguish the flames
and the fire was under control before
the hose wagons arrived. The damage
was not great. few chairs, the carpet
and other articles being burned.

Every Sumter county man who visits
the Charleston Exposition returns
we'll pleased with the county exhibit,
as they find that it compares very
favorably with the exhibits of other
counties. There are several exhibits,
however, that are much larger and
decidedly superior in many respects
to ours, but when the Sumter exhibit
is compared with the general run of
county exhibits, Sumter people have
no reason to feel ashamed of the dis
play made of Sumter's products and
resources.
The committee of City Council hav-
ing in charge the survey of the city
have directed Mr.. Jno. R. Hayns-
worth to proceed at once to complete
the map which, together with the
survey, was let by contract to Mr..
Haynsworth and Mr.. 81. D. Noise
jointly. The date for the delivery of
the map specified in the contract hav
ing passed the committee felt it their
duty to take steps to secure the map
without further delay. Mr.. Hayns-
worth, who made the survey, promises
to complete the map with the utmost
dispatch consistent with good work.

Those who are familiar with the con-
ditions in the vicinity of the daring
robbery are confident that Barlow
Warren, once tried for express robbery
and now fugitive murderer, organiz-
ed the gang and planned and executed
the robbery. The fact that it occurred
at the Identical spot of the 1899 hold
up makes this most likely.

there was nothing for the fremen TO
do. In evidence of his appreciation of
their prompt response, Mr.. Laughery
presented each of the Hose companies
with So.

The police attempted to raid a gam
bling room few nights ago, but
there was considerable delay in OBJ
tanning an entrance and when the door
was finally opened there was no evi-
dence in it to prove that gambling
had been carried on in the room.
The police had information that led
them to believe that there was regu-
lar game being carried on in the room
and acting upon this information
made the raid as stated. The place
is under surveillance and if it is a
gambling den some fine night when
the players least suspect they will be
pulled and the whole crowd arrested.

Great Falls Tribune Man Enjoys a
Touch of High Life

Great Falls Tribune Man Enjoys a
Touch of High Life.
G. E. Mccormick of the Great
Falls Tribune had a toucn of high
life this week which will cause him
to remember Kalispell for some time
at least. He was en- route from Great
Falls to Seattle, and when No. 8 ar
rived in Kalispell Tuesday night his
journey was rudely interrupted by
the appearance of one of KalispelPs
finest, who placed him under arrest
and conveyed him to the city bastile.
The officer was acting under the au-
thority of a telegram from Great
Falls, asking that Mccormick be ar
rested, and giving his description.
The crime, if any, was not given,
and when the next day another tele-
gram was received saying that the
charge against him had been dis
missed, he was given his liberty and
left for the west Wednesday night.
He claimed to know of no reason
why he should be arrested, and laid
it to some of his fellow workmen on
the Tribune who made him a victim
OF cruel practical joke.
