cLAYToN's WILL HOLDS.
Immense School For Orphan Boys Will
Be Built In Denver.

Denver, July 1.-The Supreme Court
has refused to break the George w.
Clayton will. and the city of Denver
secures the benefit of the property be-
qucathed to it by the establishment of
college for orphan boys on the plan
of the Gilard College in Philadelphia.
The property is estimated to be worth
about $20OO,OOO and is appreciating in
value.
Thomas Clayton. Il brother, who was
cut off in the will with small an
nuity, sought to contest the validity of
the document and the right of George
w. Clayton TO give the greater part of
his fortune to charity without sub
stantially benetiting his heirs-at-law.
In the lower court the will was de
clared to be valid. The heirs appealed
and in an exhaustive opinion by JUS
tice Robert w. Steele, the trial courts
decision is affirmed in every detail.
Judge Moses IIallett is the executor of
the estate and will have charge of the
establishment of the college.
The court remarks on Mr.. ClaytOn's
magnificent philanthropy in the follow
ing language:
After making such provision as he
thought proper for the natural objects
of his bounty he has selected, as de-
serving of his benevolence. the poor
white orphan boys of Denver and Colo
RADIO, and has devoted the residue of
his great fortune to the erection and
support of a permanent college for
their free instruction and maintenance,
that they may become useful citizens
and honorable members of society.
''It is an indulgent, edifying and
worthy charity. 1t will lessen Denver's
burdens of government.
ITO thousands of poor orphan boys
it Will be blessing forever and it will
be by them forever bleSt"

what About Your School Houses,

You may not this season be able to
oulld a new one. or make the radical
changes in the old one that you had
IN contemplation. but there is no school
district In the United States that can
not afford to tint with Alabastine the
interior OF their buildings, thus max
ing them more attractive, getting col
ors made with special reference to
their effects on the eyes of the pupils,
getting sanitary and rock base ce-
ment coating that will not harbor dis
ease germs.
The closely crowded school rooms
need all the safeguards to the health
OF the pupil that intelligent officials
can surround them with. and all saai-
tarlans unite in saying that Alabastine
Is the only proper material to be used

EARNING BIG PROFITS.
Sumter Telephone Manufacturing Co..
Cleared 29 per cent. Last Year.

The annual meeting of the Sumter
Telephone Manufacturing Co., which
was held few days since, was most
satisfactory to officers, directors and
stockholders.
The anua! report showed that the
company had had very prosperous
year, that business had increased and
that there is such steadily growing
demand for the products of the factory
that there are now on the books
orders for more than three months,
output. While it was gratifying to
have large volume of business, it
was still more satisfactory for the Off
GERS to be able to inform the stock
holders that the business had been
handled at a profit. The report show
ed that the net profits for the year
amounted to % per cent.
In view of the growing business and
the inability of the factory to fill all
of the orders received, it was decided
to increase the capacity of the plant
and the profits of the year will be ex-
pended in purchasing additional
machinery, which will be erected as
soon as possible. The stockholders
cheerfully agreed to forego dividend
this year, in these circumstances, as it
is so decidedly to their interest to
enlarge the factory and increase the
output to meet the demand.

New Way to Get Bank Account.

The Sumter Savings Bank is intro
ducing one of the best and most prac-
tical devices for the encouragement Of
small savings that has ever been
brought to the attention of the pub
lie, and it should prove Immediately
popular with every person who
desires to save money and have a
bank account This device is called
the Home Savings Bank and it is
designed to be and is perfectly safe
and secure receptacle in which small
sums of money may be deposited from
day to day until sufficient sum has
been accumulated for making a deposit
in bank These Home Savings Banks
are loaned to customers by the Sumter
Savings Bank for the purpose of en-
couraging them to save the nickels
and dimes that would otherwise be
thoughtlessly spent. The idea is a
good one and it will help to take care
of the pennies until they grow to dol
lars. and then, when deposited in the
Sumter Savings Bank, the dollars inn
mediatelv begin earning interest for
the depositor. Everybody should OBJ
tain one of the home savings banks
and begin saving money.

safe RECOVERED INTACT.
Retarded Train Robbers Progress
and They Used River to Hide
Plumber.
Special to The State.

Sp0CIal 10 1u0 SGdI0.
Branchville, Jan. 2S.-There are no
developments in the express robbery
which occurred near So last night, ex-
cept the finding of the safe in the
Edisto river this morning. Pinckney
Carson, a negro living near the scene
of the robbery, was forced under
penalty of death to haul the safe to the
river. The negro Carson was asked
about the robbery this morning and
admitted that he had been forced to
haul the safe away and piloted Super
intendent Sadler and others to the
river about four miles from where the
robbery occurred, where the safe was
found. The robbers failed to get into
the safe and had tied rope to it and
threw it into the river. It is thought
that they were afraid of being caught
if they kept on hauling the safe and
threw it into the river intending to
return later, open the safe and get
their booty.
Of course there are suppositions, but
so far as known there is no actual
clue as TO who the robbers were.
Sheriff Dukes and his deputies re-
turned home this afternoon.

The Measuring Party a Success.

The measuring party given by the
ladies of the First Baptist Church at
the residence of Capt. Welch last
Thursday evening was a decidedly
pleasant affair. There was a large,
good -humored crowd in attendance.
and the program was excellent.
Miss Katie Moses, first on the pro-
Crane, delighted the crowd with an
instrumental solo.
The vocal solo by Miss Bessie
Ingram, with violin accompaniment by
Miss Durham, was artistically rendered
and much enjoyed.
Miss Durham, of the Sumter
School of Music, who kindly lent her
assistance, favored the audience with
an exquisite violin solo. Her playing
was of high order, and music lovers
who were present were charmed with
her selection. Miss Ewell accompa-
MED Miss Durham on the piano.
Little Miss Eleanor Mason received
hearty applause when she had con-
cluded her instrumental solo. She
surprised the audience by her wonder
full ability.
a vocal solo by Col. c. j. Owens
was we'll rendered.
The recitations by Miss Theo Lopez
and Miss Grace Randle were not the
least pleasing fea lures of the entertain
ment. Both young ladies were heard
with pleasure.
Upon the conclusion of the program
refreshments were served in nice style,
and everyone present expressed them
selves as delighted with the evenings
entertainment.

and the enthusiastic Recommendations
of two Presidents. It is the most
popular branch of the postal service
today, and it deserves to be. In it's
marvellous developments it has been
equaled only by the free-deliyery SER
vice in cities and large towns, and the
time will come when the farmer will
receive his mail once day, as he is
entitled to receive it, and an unjust
and unreasonable discrimination
against our country folk viii be swept
away. Ten years ago the service had
few friends, and the Post-Of De-
partment would take no part in trying
to give it fair experiment. How
different now! The Congress, the De-
partment, and the President are on
their knees to it, and there are a half
hundred men all over the country
asserting their claims to its daddy
ship"
I urge this appropriation in the
name of the 225, ,000 farmers who are
in need of it and to whom it is due as
matter of right and not as matter
Of favor, and in the name of the
thirty-odd million other farmers, who,
in the nature Of things and as mat
ter of common justice, viii eventually
get it. Right demands it. The Gov
ernment owes it, and the time for
payment is here. The American far
mer is slow to make demands, but
when once he makes them, believing
in their business, he is not easily
turned aside from them. The revolu-
tion in the method Of furnishing
mail to our country people must go
on until each home, each day, is
brought in touch with the world.
Not until then Will the farmer be
satisfied
