PRIZE DRILL SQUAD SELECTED

One among the very best features of
the Washington Street Graded School
is the military feature. It not only
teaches the boys how to be manly
polite, respectful and obedient, but
gives them the very best of exercise
the kind of exercise they like.
On Friday a squad of thirty yeight
strong, healthy boys marched out on
the green to compete for places in
the prize drill squad of fifteen to com
pete for prizes in a competitive drill
on next Thursday. Ex-Captain 7.
Screven Doar, of the Sumter Light
Infantry, and Lieut. J. q. Mims of the
above named company, acted as judges,
and they are true military men. II
was hard and difficult task. Every
boy was keen to get in the prize
squad. Their strict attention, bright
eyes, and deep interest, showed theil
ambi tion. So well did they drill that
it was quite while before the mum.
Der was reduced to fifteen.
In conversation with Mr.. Doar, be
expressed great surprise at the excel.
lent drilling of the lads-the vim ano
snap with which they handled theil
arms.

The Court of Common Pleas was
engaged since last week from Monday
morning until Friday in the trial of
two cases. The first case was that of
Clark vs.. the Atlantic Coast Line r. r.
suit for $4,000 damages for causing
the death Of negro train hand. This
case was ON trial three days and the
verdict in favor Of the railroad amount
ed, in effect, to the establishment of the
contention Of the railroad that the
negro's death was the result of con-
sumption and was not brought about
by injuries received while in the rail-
road service. The other case, which
was on trial for two days is an
other railroad case, although it has
not yet reached the damage suit stage.
The point in contest is the conflicting
claims of Amanda McDaniels and
Estelle McDaniels who both claim to
be the lawful widow cf one David
Mcdaniel who was killed on the rail
road. Two days we're given up
to hearing evidence and argument, and
it seems to have been pretty clearly
established that both women had been
married to McDaniels, but it is claim
ed that the one first married to him
had another husband living when she
contracted the marriage Mcdaniel.
This case has been dragging along for
year or more, having been before
the Judge of Probate one or more
times. The Atlantic Coast Line
settled with McDaniels' first wife and
the second wife was seeking to
establish her right to enter suit for
damages against the railroad, while
the railroad was defending the claim Of
the first wife. The railroad and the
first wife were represented by P. A.
Wilcox, 7. G. Mcleod, T. B. Fraser
and Mark Reynolds while the second
widow was represented by R. D. Lee.
The verdict in the widows case was
in favor of Amanda Mcdaniel, the
Sumter widow of Dave Mcdaniel.
Estelle Mcdaniel, the Florence widow,
has already been paid $3.50 by the rail-
road, and Amanda will now have a
chance to collect damages by process
of law.
The verdict in the case of Clark VS..
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.,
was in favor of the railroad.
Court adjourned Friday afternoon,
but Judge Gage announced that he
would return for three days this week
to hear equity cases for which no jury
is required.
The Court of Common Pleas recon-
vened Tuesday morning and equity
cases are being heard.

SPAIN KELLY sURRENDERs.
Gave Himself Up Saturday Evening"
Now in Jail and by Advice of His Law
yers Declines 10 Make Statement.

Spain Kelly, who killed W. F.
Creech in Lee county on the afternoon
of May 9th and has since evaded ar
rest, came to this city late Saturday
evening in company with his uncle,
MI. A. G. Durant, aud surrendered to
Sheriff Scarborough at his residence
in the suburbs. Sheriff Scarborough
was at his office in the Court House
when Kelley arrived at his house and
was notified by telephone that Kelley
had come in to surrender. When he
went out to his home he found Kelley
asleep and did not disturb him, but
let him remain there until yesterday
morning when he was transferred to
the jail, where ne will remain in con-
fnement until tried or released on
bond.
AS soon as Sheriff Scarborough re-
ceiyed notice that Kelley was at his
house to surrender he telegraphed
Gov. Hayward that he had Kelley. in
custody. He did this to forestall and
prevent the publication of an offer Of
reward, as he had been informed
Saturday morning, by Gov. Heyward,
that he had decided to offer reward
for Kelley's arrest and that the procla-
nation would be published in the Sun
day papers. Sheriff Scarborough did
not and does not expect to make any
claim for the reward offered by the
Governor, statements to the contrary

vile, and A. l3. Stuckey, of this
city, the lawyers who will have charge
Of the defence, spent several hours at
the Jail Monday in conference With
Spain Kelley. A representative of The
Item visited the jail for the purpose
Of obtaining statement Of the case
from the side of the defendant while
he was engaged with his lawyers. He
was asked for statement, but by the
advice of his attorneys he did not
make the statement. The following ex-
PLANTATION Of his refusal to do SO was
subsequently furnished in writing:
"Mr. Spain Kelly who voluntarily
surrendered to Sheriff Scarborough on
Saturday was seen at the jail this
morning, and he only said that:
Acting under advice of my counsel, I
must decline to make any statement
about the killing.
I regret, however, that theretshould
have been any publication in the news
paper that it was my intention to
evade trial.
Il feel that 1 was justified in what I
did, and am willing to leave it to my
countrymen, after the facts are dis
closed, and my defense presented. , -
Mr. a. B. Stnckey, one Of his coun-
sci, stated that decision had not yet
been reached whether the case would
be brought up for trial next week
when court conyenes in Bishopville, or
bail applied for and continuance
asked. In the short time intervening
before the court convenes it may be
impossible to get ready for trial.

New Plan Meets With Favor.

The A. o. u. w. order Is In
much better condition than the
members had feared would be the
case when the adoption OF the new
rate was made necessary. OF the
UOO,OOO members only 1850 have
withdrawn, which Is a much better
showing than the order was cx-
pccting, or than In the usual case.
The plan adopted by the order
gives the members their choice of
four propositions. The level rate
has been explained heretofore with
the table. The propositions are
as follows;
Those members over 50 years Of
aye have four propositions to nc
ccpt. They can take $1,000 insur-
ancc and pay $3.50 per month,
or they can add to that another
$1,000 by paying I per cent inter-
est. Every year that expires on this
additional $1,000 there would be
the Si.20 deducted. 1.-THE member
died within the first year there
would be $780, 10 deducted, aud his
bcncIciarics would receive ST.
$500, and 80 ON every year until
the $1,000 would bc consumed by
the non-paymcnt OF that c
mcnt.
Then they have another plan by
which n member may continue In
force the $1,000 and take "A one
half pnid-up policy which Mt the
age OF 40 years, would give the
holder Sii5O paid up policy. On
this amount he would pay Si.2O
per month.
