Judge James Hargis was placed on
the stand. He said he saw Even run
ming and Marcum fall, and saw Curtis
Jett on the street corner near tree
after the shooting.
Judge Hargis was cross-examined by
MI. Byrd. In reply to a question as
to why he stood by Jett, his nephew,
when they did not speak to each
other, Hargis said Jett was not tried
right by being brought to Court by
fifty soldiers and a Gatling gun. On
being pressed for another reason.
Hargis stated that Jett's mother, who
was his elder sister, had cared for
him during the war, when his father
had been chased away by Federal sol

now wanted to repay that debt with
interest.

DR.. Baker Of the joint committee
on sewerage survey maps and estimate
of cost, &C., then Interestingly gave
detailed description of the report made
by Mr.. j. L. Ludlow, the sanitary
engineer who made the survey and
maps and estimate of cost.
1t was the opinion of the board that
since City Council has caused the
survey to be made together with all
profile maps, detailed drawings, plans
and specifications, forms of contract
and 6. correct estimate of the cost of
the system, whereby the citizens of
Sumter can now intelligently decide
whether they are in position to vote
for the bonds; that the board Of
health should circulate petition re-
questing the free holders to petition
City Council to order an election to
decide the issue of bonds. The Board
of Health thinks the sewerage system
a necessity, but as to the wisdom of
expending the amount Of money neces
sary, that is a question for the voters
to determine
The Board of Health and City
Council have done all that they can
do officially and the matter now rests,
according to law, with the freeholders
and qualified voters.
Upon motion of Dr.. Baker, seconded
by DR.. Holman, Health Officer Rear
don was instructed to circulate petit
tion among the freeholders, as re-
quired by law, requesting City Coun-
Gil to order an election to decide on

'structing a sewerage system. The
members Of the Board of Health will
be requested to sign the petition
officially.

Officer Reardon was instructed to
make a careful Investigation OF the
territory adjacent to the pumping sta
tion and report at the next pleeting

tons which are likely to contaminate

measure which is resorted to periodi-
cally in connection with the bacterio-
logical and chemical examinations Of
the water supply made by the Sumter
Water Co., and the Board of Health
to guard the purity of the water sup
ply.

have been mentioned in your columns,
as well as elsewhere. On account Of
this remarkable relationship, if for
no other reason, we think memoir
of her might we'll be compiled by
some of her descendants. It may be
mentioned. in passing, that this in
teresting lady died thirty. years ago
last month, at which time she lacked
something over two months of four
score years.
In the first volume of his historical
series, "Ths History of South. Caro-
lima under the Proprietary Govern
ment,'' Gen. McCrady mentions an
other lady who had a remarkable record
Of Gubernatorial relationships. This
lady was Mrs. Frances LEdwell. wife
of Col. Philip LudweIi, who was
Governor of South Carolina from No
yember. 1881, to November, 1898. Gen.
McCrady gives the following state
ment concerning Mrs. Ludwen, which
he bases on HAWKES. History of North
Carolina
'sThis lady had the singular fortune
of being the wife of three Governors
in succession. Her first husband was
Governor Samuel Stephens, of Abe
marie, her second, Sir William Berke-
ley, Governor of Virginia: her third,
Col. Philip Ludwell, Governor Of
Carolina -
Wife of three colonial Governors and
one of them a British knight! Is there
a parallel case to this in the hisory of
the thirteen original colonies?
