BURGLARS ON WATERFRONT.
Visit Pacific Mail Dock and Engage in
Fight With Night Waterman.

Early yesterday morning the night
Waterman on duty at the Pacific
Mail dock saw a diminutive man
proving behind pile OF goods
which had been taken ont OF the
steamer Hyades. He watched the fel-
low for about five minutes and saw
him trying TO open one of the numer-
Gus boxes deposited there. The man,
who proved to be a Japanese, saw
the Waterman and started to retreat.
he did not run fast enough however.
As he arrived at the main gate lead
ing to the street the Waterman over
took him and gave him such a beat
ing that he will remember it for a
long time 10 come The Waterman
allowed him TO go. and went aboard
TO have his right hand dressed. as
the pummeling ne administered "a
the Jap resulted in a big swollen
hand.
He had resumed his watch only a
short time when burglar number two
was discovered. This time il was a
white man but his nationality could
not be ascertained. The officers OF
the Hyades attracted out of their
cabins by the noise. think he was a
German. while the Waterman be-
Eeyes he was an Irishman. The
Waterman tackled his second job but
did not find it as easy as the first.
This was lively. square American
fight and, although the Waterman got
the best Of it. he IS on sick leave to-
cay nursing a dislocated hand.

coffee importers of Boston, Mass,
have made the following offer to the
Texas Confederate Re-Union Associa-
tion of Dallas, Texas:

ment in it. We assure you it will be
a great pleasure for US to bear the en-
tire cost Of the coffee and cream used,

thousand gallons or more. equalling at
least one hundred thousand cups OF
coffee. The Association has accepted
the offer with thanks.

As to Lee County.

The opinion is expressed by some of
the Lee County advocates that al
though the line, as now established,
may come within eight miles of Sum-
ter Court House that fact need not
kill Lee County for four years. They
hold that, inasmuch as the people
voted in favor Of the new county, they
should be permitted to have resur-
vey made and the lines made to con-
form to the constitutional requirement
as to distance from the Sumter Coun-
ty Court House.
The latest news in reference to the
Lee County situation is that the coun-
ty is in no danger of being killed, that
!! the bill now before the senate will be
passed and that everything looks IA
vorable for the new county. 1t is said
that the new county line was never
surveyed to the run of Scape Ger
Swamp, and it was never contemplated
to have the new county extend to the
main stream of the swamp, but that
| the line extends only to the eastern
edge of the swamp, from which point
| the distance to the Court House is
greater than eight miles. This state
ment of facts has not been obtained
from an official source but the party
from whom the information was OBJ
tained is both we'll informed and reli-
able.
Mai. Loring Lee and Mr.. j. W.
Brunson, of Florence started On the
resurvey of the line from Scape Ger
Swamp to the Court House on Fri
day and would have completed it Sat
urday, but were prevented by the bad
weather. If the weather had been
favorable they expected to finish run
ming the line to the Court House yes
terday.
The Lee County bill passed second
reading in the Senate Saturday with
out opposi ton.

House of lulius Edwards Burned.

The house of julius Edwards, the
barber, situated on Council Street,
was burned at II o'clock last Thursday
morning. The house, which was neat
two story five room cottage, was not a
total loss, but was badly damaged, the
entire roof being burned off and the
second floor is complete wreck.
The fireman were handicapped by a
poor start and by insufficient water
pressure, but they stuck to the work
before them even though it looked at
one time as if the house must newt
ably be burned to the ground. They
did good work after they got down to
it and saved not only part of the
burning building but confined the
flames to the one house and prevented
the destruction of the houses on either
side which were only few feet
distant. This neighborhood is very
closely built up, and had the fremen
lost control of the fire the whole row
would have gone.
At the time the alarm was given the
Monaghan horses were at the black
smith Ishop being shod, and after
No. 3. reached the fire and stretched
the hose the wagon was sent back to
No. 2's house, the horses Cnhitched
and No. wagon carried to the fire.
The men of both squads were on hand
and worked equally as we'll.
The fire started from toy stove
with which one of Edwards children
was playing on the back piazza. The
weather boarding caught and the fire
ran up between the weather boarding
and plastering to the roof

The Bells Application for Franchise.

An often repeated motto, Anything
for Competition. But think a
moment. Is competition always desir-
able? In the telephone business, the
proposition is extremely open to doubt.
Given two competing exchanges. Tele-
phone subscribers are divided, part
in one exchange, part in another.
There is absolutely no communication
between the two exchanges. To reach
all the telephone using populace, one
needs to take both phones. This in
creases the telephone bill, even if it
does not double it. To what purpose?
Only to reach the telephone using
people Of the town and perhaps a
fancied improvement in the service.
But is the latter worth the increase
in cost? Perhaps the present company
is driven out of the field. Is the
Southern Bell Telephone Company
preferable as a monopolist?
The Bell does not propose to give the
county connection which is SO valu-
able to our merchants. The Sumter
Telephone Co., gives communication
with every town in Sumter County,
and with most towns in Clarendon,
and Florence, with same points in
Keshaw, Marion, Darlington and
Williamsburg. What does the Bell
offer to compensate for these?-Long
distance connections, for which toll
charges are practically prohibitive
These can be obtained from the pro-
posed long distance toll station.
Where then is the advantage of the
local franchise to theSBell Co? Weigh
the advantages and the disadvantages
in the balance, and will you not find
the advantages 60 up in air?

ICE FACTORY BURNED.

The Independent Ice Co. s plant
was burned last Wednesday about 10
O'Clock. The origin of the fire has
not been determined. The fire was
we'll advanced when discovered and the
alarm given, and it was impossible to
save the building, which was burned
to the ground in a short time. The
Sumter Ice Factory and other build
ings in the immediate vicinity were
saved. The Independent Factory was
owned by tie Sumter Ice Mfg. Co.
The plant was insured for $1,000, and
the loss is estimated to exceed S12, 600.

Death of Mr.. 3. P. Shore.

Bernard P. Shore, the junior mem
Der, and the brother in the well known
firm of George D. Shore & Bro. died
at Tucson, Arizona, at five o'clock
last Wednesday afternoon.
The circumstances are peculiarly sad
in that he died far away from his
family and the brother who loved him
so devotedly, and with whom his life's
work for the most part had been per-
formed.
Bernard Shore was born at Salem,
North Carolina, in May 1859, and
acquired his early education and train
ing in the excellent schools of that city.
At the age of twenty-one he removed
to Sumter where he joined his broth
or, George D. Shore. Entering his
Office in 1890, he was shortly after
wards associated with him in the grain
and brokerage business, under the
firm name of Geo. D. Shore & Bro,
in which business and firm he contin-
ued until his death.
He engaged in his work here with
great earnestness and success. He
developed thoroughness and sagacity
in business that manifested itself in
the. substantial growth and prosperity
of his firm. He was a young man Of
sterling integrity and strength Of char
acter. Though somewhat reserved in
disposition he endeared to him many
friends by the sincerity and sweetness
Of his disposition and held their
friendship throughout his lovable life
here.
Mr.. Shores health began to fail
about five years ago. Although receiv-
ing the highest medical skill here, it
was thought best for him to undergo
treatment at the North. Twice be
visited New York in the attempt to
arrest the encroachments of the
disease from which he was suffering.
All that loving and anxious family
could do to prolong his life was done,
and as last hope to regain his health
he left for Arizona on January 30th
accompanied by his faithful servant,
Ben.
It is consoling to those who knew
and loved Mr.. Shore to know that
even in that distant State he met some
of his friends from Sumter and that
his last hours were comforted by their
presence and ready help.
His remains we're carried to his old
home in Salem, n. c., where funeral
services were held yesterday.
Mr.. Shore leaves surviving him his
father and mother and three sisters
and six brothers.

of the city for the purpose of erecting
and maintaining local Telephone
Exchange"
In answer to questions these gentle
men stated that the rates to be charged
would be about the same as those now
prevailing in Sumter. That there is
no purpose to drive out competition
and raise prices, but that the com
pany's policy is to create business by
reasonable rates for good service, and
desire merely to be allowed to enter
into fair competition for patronage.
They stated also that the company
would furnish six phones for use of the
city free Of charge if so many be
necessary.

18th instant at a special meeting call
ed to consider this matter fully.

ary 22nd and Feb. 2Sth were read and
approved. :,
Mr.. Finn reported for the committee
on dry earth system that they had
given an order for two carts, fer this
work and one for scavenger service.
Mr.. Rowland for paving committee
reported that the work had been tenn
porarily stopped on account of bad
weather which had prevented ship
ment of rock; but that it had been
resumed and would be completed with
in the next two or three weeks with
good weather.
Messrs. H. Hardy. Brunson &
Brunson and Mrs. E. A. Cuttino
petitioned council to order an exten-
sion of the water main in Washington
Street from Bartlette Street to Graham
Street. The petition was referred to
committee of public works.
MI. Hurst suggested that the chain
gang labor due by the county to the
city should be utilized now in work
being done on the streets. The sug-
gestion was adopted and the Mayor
was requested to see the County
Supervisor in reference to the matter.

ment stopped the fire before the build
ing was entirely consumed, but the

Passenger Train Delayed Several Hours
This Morning.

The morning passenger train from
Charleston did not arrive until l1.3O
Saturday. The delay was caused by q
freight wreck On the Central r. R.,
between Manning and Wilson's Mill
Friday night, which blocked the track
until II O'Clock next morning. The
wreck itself did not amount to much
and, except for throwing the passen-
ger train out of schedule, was of little
Importance. The wreck was caused
by the breaking down of one truck on
the rock train. Several cars were de-
rallied and the track torn up for q
short distance. None Of the train
crew were injured.
