Vice President w. ID. Mahoney, in
whose room Burton was sitting. The
check was offered in evidence. Vice
President Mahoney testified that on
March %. 1903. he paid Burton $500.
On Dec. Is. 1902, in the Willard hote

when President Dennis showed Burton
n copy of an indictment returned
against Dennis by the federal grand
Jury. Discussion of the Indictment con-
tinued several days, resulting in the

because of Senator Buttons position
it was deemed best for him not to APP

Dennis.

THE COMPRESS TO BE OPERATED
A Big Thing for the Sumter Cotton Mar
ket.

The Sumter Banking and Mercan-
tile Co., has leased the Sumter Cotton
Compress and it. is now being over
hauled and repaired 1t is expected
that the repairs will be completed and
the plant in readiness for operation to-
day.
The operation of the compress
means great deal for Sumter as a
cotton market and will do more to
make th:. market the best in this
section of State and thereby in
crease the -ceipts than any other one
thing that we could have. AS long as
the compress is operated Sumter cot
ton shippers retain the compress rate
granted by the railoads to ali compress
shipping points, and this lower rate
enables the buyers to pay more for
cotton than the buyers located in other
places There is no doubt about the
move of the Sumter Banking & Mer-
camille Co. being a good thing for
Sumter and for every farmer who sells
his cotton on this market, and it is to
be hoped that their enterprising pub
lie spirit will be profitable to them.

NJ, of the Cd Regiment, we're in town
Saturday, preparatory to leaving for
the Manassas encampment. The com
pany is thirty-two strong, and under
the command of Capt. G. F. Parrott
and Lieut.. NJ. B. McCutchen.
Ten Sumter boys and eighteen from
ST. Stephens joined the Bishopyille
boys here, which made total OF

such large number of men in ranks,
the company should make a very
good appearance.
The Second Regiment Band did mot

from this State as it was impossible fol
many of the members to leave their
business at this time of the year. Di-
rector Schumacher and the members OF
the band regret that they were not
able to attend the encampment, but ii
came at most inconvenient season
for the men.
