JOE BAILEY IN RICHMOND
Texas Senator is Well Remembered by
Democratic Politicians Here.

The trouble in the Senate between Hon.
Joseph w. Bailey, OF Texas. and Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana. revives in the;
memory of the public men here a re-
markabe joint debate held iG This city

replied that there might come a time
shortly when he would have to remove

conyuised with laughter and applause.
Mr. Bailey has many friends in Nir-

Norfolk. who is a great admrer of the
Texas leader both as a man and as a
statesman.

THE QUESTION
WILL Be SETTLED
Thought That Liquor Matter Will
Be Disposed Of at Meeting
This Month.

At the annual meeting of the Dover
Baptist Association in King William
county on the 22d instant. it is thought
that the liquor question, which has done
SO much to agitate the sessions OF the
body, will be finally disposed OF.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the association to give further
consideration to this matter has been
hard at work and it is understood. mas
recently held several meetings. lt IS
learned that since the committee enter
ed upon its work two or three or tre
churches have gotten rid of the iiauor
members, thus reducing the NUMBER
from eight to five or something IKE
frat It is learned further that some
Man for dealing with the others mas
been hit ,1pon This plan will be some
thing like this: Every church Is to agree
that hereafter no person engaged in
the liquor traffic shall be admitted to
it's membership; the one or two per-
sons already in the five or six churches
will be allowed to stay without further
molestation They We're members be-
fore the liquor question was brought up
and this being the case appear to have
p right to remain. The Association, 1t
is said. will take no further step against
them though it still heartily condemns
the business in which they are engaged.
According to the view of two or three
well-known Baptist ministers the report
will probably be adopted without dis
cusson 1t will settle a matter which
has done much to disturb the eQuill-
briurn of the Association and all will re-
joice in the final disposal OF difficult
question.

MILLINERY OPENING.
The Sumter Dry Goods Company Sets
the Pace For the Seasons Fashions.

The millinery opening of the season
was held yesterday afternoon and even
ing at the Sumter Dry Goods Co.'S.
large and handsome store, which was
thronged with ladies from 4 until
nearly 10 o'clock p. m; and # the
number present and the enthusiastic
praise of the display make for the sue
cess of an occasion the opening was as
complete a success as could have been
desired. While the afternoon and
evening had been set apart for the
millinery opening and the display OF
imported pattern hats, trimmings and
the thousand and one beautiful articles
included under the general head Of
millinery, was the feature of the day,
the entire store, from the beautifully
decorated show windows, in the front,
and throughout every department to
the millinery department was in gala
attire. In the dress goods department
there was rich and artistically ar
ranged display of dress fabrics and
trimmings OF all kinds, foreign and
domestic, the varied weaves and pat
terms being in such innumerable pro-
fusion that the eye grew tired viewing
each one separately and became
blended in a Kaleidoscope whole
of indescribable textile beauty and
richness.
In the millinery department the
climax of decorative effort was attain
ed, and here scheme of artistic deco
ration was carried ont in the perfec-
tion of detail that only those who
have both experience and the artistic
appreciation of the value of the beauty
of simplicity and the effect of contrast
in delicate shades and colors can
successfully accomplish. There we're
hundreds of pattern hats on ex-
hibition but there was no crowding,
the arrangements being so carefully
planned that each one was to be seen
as an individual erection, the decora-
tions serving as background to show
off the hats to the best advantage.
The millinery department. is under
the direction of Mrs. L. Atkinson, as
sisted by Miss Pauline Sanders, both
of whom spent the summer in New
York studying the millinery fashions Of
the season: and the display was the
best possible evidence that their efforts
to select and create stylish hats have
been successful.
During the evening the orchestra
was present and the concert was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present.

New Use for Refined ParafHne Wax.

y
A new and important use for Refined
Parafine Wax seems to have been dis
covered by a prominent resident of
Ohio, living, near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm, one
being maple and the other an apple.
In each case large limb was broken
down from the trunk, but still attach
ed to it. The limbs were propped up
and fastened securely with straps, very
much as a broken leg might be fasten-
ed with splints, and then melted refined
wax poured into and over all the
cracks. The 6 surgical operation" was
entirely successful. The Parafine pre-
vented the escape of the sap, kept out
the rain and moisture which would
have rotted the trees, prevented the
depredations of insects, and the limbs
seem thus far. to be perfectly. re-at-
tached to the trees.

Sudden Death.

The wife of Ranssan Gadsden, color
ed, who lives on the farm of NJ. Rey
nolds, Esq, near Stateburg. died sud-
denly on Tuesday evening, 23d, about
5 o'clock.
Coroner Flowers was notified and
held an inquest. The verdict was that
death resulted from natural causes.
She had been suffering from neuralgia
for several years, and the disease had
affected the heart and this caused her
sudden death. She was in the potato
patch gathering potatoes at the time Of
her death. She had been in her usual
health and had picked cotton during
the day.

Republican street, by the act of the
City Council, ceased to exist on last
Wednesday night, and that thoroughfare
is now known as Hampton avenue.
The change of name was made at the
request of large majority Of those
who reside on that street, and the
change of name seems to be generally
acceptable. Republican street was
one of the first four or five streets
laid off and named when the Court
house was located here and Sumter
vile established as a town. So far
as can be learned Republican street
has borne that name for nearly a
century. a map of Sumteryille,

streets: Broad {now Main), Liberty.
Republican, Sumter and Harvin.
