This action was taken at the instance

DENTS TRIAL AT NEXT COURT.
viii Be an Interesting One of the
Session.

Of the criminal cases to be tried in
Sumter superior court converting two
weeks hence none will be attended
with more general interest than that
of J. T. Dent, the erstwhile piano
dealer, who will then be required to
answer to two forgery charges.
This case may be among the first
called on the criminal docket.
And, if entered upon without delay,
Dent will soon know whether he is to
go free or to do time in the event of
conviction upon either or both of the
indictments found.
Dent has been in Jail here since
curly IN June, when he was arrested
in California and brought back to
Americas by Deputy Sheriff Gatewood
to answer to charges of forgery. Bond
in his case was assessed, but has meyer
yet been made.
HIS incarceration has been long, but
was made as pleasant for him as cir
cumstances would permit.
It will be remembered that some two
months ago Sheriff Bell discovered @
revolver and crowbar in DENTS cell,
indicating purpose to escape. Since
then he has been very carefully guard
ed.
And if he quits the Jail it will be by
due legal process.
During his stay IN prison here, anc
since the departure of his family, he
has been visited several times by hiG
brothers. He has able counsel to rep
resent him in his trial, and his case
will be called among the first on
docket.
DENTS health has been very gooi
all summer and he will doubtless an
nounce ready for trial, when his case il
called.

LITTLE MONEY is COMING YET
Taxpayers viii Play Limit on Coming
Across.


Confronted with the requirement of
having to pay $27 upon each 1000
worth OF his property, the average tax
payer is taking his own sweet time to
separate himself from the coin. Neither
Tax Collector Small nor City Clerk
Hawkes. are IN the least busy receipting
for taxes paid, and the property owner
will play the limit and defer the ''evil
hour" as long as possible. City taxes
must be paid by Dec. LIST, and county
taxes by Dec. goth, upon which dates
the books close. Both the city and
county rate is higher this year than in
a long while, and the chances are that
the city marshal and sheriff Will have
to get busy after Christmas in an effort
to stir up those who may not come
across with the coin on schedule.
