the case handed down this week. AS
will be seem she will now have to pay

The defendant indicted for violation
of the dispensary law, moved for a
continuance and, her motion overruled,
plead guilty and was sentenced (by
Judge Townsend) to fine of $3.50 and
Imprisonment at hard labor for six
months. The defendant appealed
An application for a continuance is
addressed to the discretion of the trial

such discretion the supreme court will
not interfere with his conclusion.
In the present case it is not made to
appear that such discretion was abus-
ed
The sentence imposed being within
the limitations set by the statute, the
measure of punishment rests in the dis
cretion of the circuit Judge.

Last Thursday night a lodge of the
Benevolent and Protective Order OF
Elks was organized in this city under
the most favorable auspices.
a large delegation from Sumter and
several of the members of this popular
organization from Columbia came
down to take part in the installation.
Mr.. E. B. Clark of Columbia, Dis
trict Deputy for South Carolina was in
charge Of the work, ably assisted by
all visiting Brothers.
The initiatory degrees in this order
is said to be very interesting, and as
the Sumter and Columbia boys are a
"jolly good set," they naade it quite
warm for our boys and they got all
that was coming to them. The Masons
rendered the use of their hall for the
institution Of the lodge.
After. the institution of the lodge an
elaborate banquet was served at the
Tourist Hotel in elegant style. There
were about IS members present, and
there was not a dull moment among
this jolly crowd. The dining room,
and table which was in the shape of a
triangle. were beautifully decorated
with red and white japonicas and ev-
ergreens.
The menu was very elaborate and
served in courses. and reflects great

DR.. DeSaussure Dead.

Dr.. Peter Gourdin DeSaussure. one
Of the most prominent physicians, of
Charleston, died Monday night of pneu-
monia after only a few days illness.
The News and Courier publishes the
following sketch of Dr.. DeSaussure:
DR.. DeSaussure, sou of Gen. Wilmot
G. and Martha DeDaussure, was born
in the City of Charleston on March
g. 1857, and, after av.epding the City
High School, entered the Medical Col
lege of the State of South Carolina and
in 1877 finished the course, though he
did not receive a diploma until one
year later, be being just 20 years of
age when his senior studies we're sue
cessfully completed. After serving in
the Roper Hospital as interne be
volunteered. under the auspices of the
Howard Association, to 60 to Memphis
at the time of the great yellow fever
epidemic there. So impressed were the
medical authorities of the hospitals
of the stricken city with the ability,
skill and wide knowledge Of che youth
full physician that in after years, when
the Training School for Nurses was
established there, DR.. DeSaussure
was earnestly requested to take charge
of the institution.
After leaving Memphis Mr.. DeSaus-
sure went to New York and stood
competitive examination for position
in the great Woman's Hospital of that
city, and was successful, and for two
years was in the hospital, then under
the charge of the famous DR.. Gilliard
Thomas. After serving two years in
this hospital and demonstrating his
skill and ability, DR.. DeSaussure re-
turned to his native city, where be
soon built up large and lucrative
practice.
In 1882 he was appoined prosector to
the professor of anatomy of che Medi-
cal College of the State of South Caro-
lima, and in 1890 was made professor
of gynaecology, which position he held
at the time Of his death.
Dr.. DeSaussure was known not only
in the south and west, but in the
north as we'll. as an authority on
women's diseases, and was acknowl-
edged and recognized as an expert in
other branches of medical science also.
He more than once was the recipient
of hattering offers from hospitals in
the west, and had be chosen to leave
the somewhat restricted opportunities
of the south it is probable that his
name would have become household
word among the medical fraternity of
the eastern section of the United
States.

ANOTHER OF POSTAL THIEVES.
Beavers, a Bigger Rascal Than
Machen. TO Be Tried Soon.

Washington, D. c., March with
the conviction of the Machen crowd
public interets in the potsoffice frauds
will now turn to the case OF George
W. Beavers, indicted in Brooklyn and
in Washington for conspiracy in the
postal frauds. The case came up for
argument in the supreme court today
on an appeal from the decision of the
United States Commissioner and the
judge of the circuit court Of New York
directing that Beavers must 90 to
Brooklyn to stand trial. If the su-
preme court decides that Beavers must
face the indictments which have been
waiting for him ir Brooklyn since last
Fall, it will be for the prosecution to
decide what will become of the in
dictments in Washington. These have
been holding back for the decision on
the Brooklyn indictments.
Beavers, who was Superintendent OF
the Salaries and Allowances Division,
with headquarters at Washington,
resigned when the investigation of
postoffice frauds first began. He was
not drawn into it directly, although
his name was mentioned in connection
with various shady transactions, until
the inspectors got after +. j. Brandt
Dent Il Company, which had sold
change making machines worth thou
sands of dollars to the Post Office De
partment. These were Of no use to
the clerks, and had been thrown aside
in nearly every instance. Working on
this line the inspectors found that
