Sumter al It's Best.

In these days, when every village
in the South is having it's ''CarDi
VAL Jhe festival in Sumter is not to
be confused with the ordinary strest
shows. Sumter with its six or seven
thousand inhabitants, situated near
the centre of South Carolina as we'll as
in the heart of an agricultural region
as rich as any I'D this country, is a
community with citizenship meas
uring in public spirit to what it's en-
vironment demands.
Ten years ago a celebration was
given at Sumter in the face of COM
mercial conditions, which, to the pes
simists, threatened the business health
Of the town. It was such success
and such an event in the civic life of
South Carolina as to put to silence
and shame every voice that croaked as
to Sumter's future. The festival now
at it's height in Sumter marks the
hoodtide of the Gamecock City's
splendid and rejoicing prosperity.
Understanding to the full the pre-
sent strength and growth Of their city
and it's utary country. and with
adequate conception of the expansion
which the future promises, the people
of Sumter opened their purses to pfo-
vide "a celeration which cannot but
focus general attention. While this
festival is what might be expected of
such a town, it is not less in its cost,
in is scope and it's attractions than
those usually given in cities of the size
of Charleston and Savannah. The
festival, therefore, is striking and
impressive as well as auspicious event,
and it is only natural that all the
towns in radius of a hundred miles
should participate with pride and
enthusiasm in what their sister COM
munlty is 80 splendidly achieving.
On this Thanksgiving morning
when South Carolina is gladdened ID
every county with such material
prosperity as has perhaps not hereto
fore been known in Our history, the
metropolis of the State in the midst of
its own festivities congratulates its
commercial ally and friend in senti
ment few miles to the north.-News
and Courier. Nov. "a.

Kangaroo md Buffalo.

\ curious contest between kanga-
roo and :; buffalo took place in a large
geological park in the north OF Eng
land. The two animals, after breaking
loose from their incloSure, met face TO
face i'll an open space III the park.
Without any preliminary quarrel, the
bull made furious onslaught on tie
kangaroo. which at first contented It
self with en- endeavor to avoid tie
charge.
After few moments, however, the
bulls attentions became altogether too
personal to pass unrcbuked, and using
its tsoofs as batteiing rams, the kan
galoo belabored the buffalo in tie most
effective manner. Roaring and bel
lowing, the irate buffalo made repeated
attempts to gore its antagonist to
death, but with scant success, the kan
garoo proving a most slippery" foe,
The fray waXed furious for over an
hour, at the end Of which time the
buffalo retired. not before. however,
its carcass bore unmistakable signs
OF the kanyarooS attentions.

Sumter's Festival.

Com parisons are odious to those
suffering by the parallel an they may
not always be so effective as simple
statement of facts, so in making this
brief mention of the Sumter Fall Fes-
tival we will endeavor to refrain from
comparison. One very important dis
covery was made this week by the
thousands Of pepole who visited Sum
ter and that is that when the very
best of the spirit called hereabouts
'Nthe Atlanta spirit" is wanted the
sample may be drawn from South
Carolina town. That is the spirit OF
enthusiasm, of united action of liber-
ality, of all pulling together with in
dividual subordination for the public
good. That is what they learned in
Sumter and that explains why the
Sumter of today is absolutely unreccg-
nizable as the little town when last
seen by the writer.
The people of Sumter contributed
3, 500 dollars to pay the expenses OF
this fall festival-it was Lot drawn out
of them with the aid of block and
tackle but was in reality "contribut-
ed" Almost at the. same time, We
are informed, about as much more
money was raised by subscription for
other non-coupon clipping purposes in
which there was popular pride--and
on Thursday when there were thou
sands of strangers in the city SUMTER
stores were closed. It was real
public festivity with no money max
ing features attached. How do these
people expect to get their money
back?:'' asked a Columbian. Maybe
they don't expect fe but if it does
not do them more good than drawing
8 per cent. interest we will be aston
ished. They have inspired them
selves, pleasantly surprised their old
friends and made manv new ones.
And is that not worth the cost: The
self confidence gained and the enthu-
siasm aroused are worth more to Sum
ter than can be measured in dollars
aud cents.
The horse show on Wednesday was
such an astonishing success that it
will probably be made a regular an
nuaI affair. Tie people of the county
did not realize their wealth in horse
flesh until the animals, were brought
together. TIE Immediate effect will be
to stimulate the breeding and owning
of even a better grade Of horses
throughout Sumter county. That is a
distinct and substantial accomplish
ment of the festival.
The business and professional men
of Sumter forgot their vocations dur
ing tie festival and became hosts OF
the public Good spirit, good nature
and hospitality were marked features
1t was a great, jolly crowd from the
governor down to the TRUSTEES" from
the State farm. Sumter is to be con-
gratulated: SSouth Carolina is to he
congratulate on having Sumter secure
within her borders May the tribes Of
Sumters multiply and increase ex-
ceediugly within the Palmetto State.

Mr.. R. T. Jaynes of counsel for
Hayes, here attending the supreme
court recently, told me of the great
difficulty he experienced in getting
specimens of the dead woman's hand
writing. The case, it will be remem-
bered turned on whether the note
found in the room where the body lay
and which declared that the woman
killed herself because she dreaded the
pain OF childbirth, was written by the.
woman or forged by the husband.
Specimens were submitted by Mrs.
Hayes father, Mr.. Crane, at the hrst
inquest, at which two of her sisters
testified that according to their judg-
ment the note was in their sisters
handwriting. This investigation re-
suited in a. verdict of suicide. The
two specimens of handwriting were
never again seen; the coroner says he
gave them to Crane, but Crane says
that official left them on the able and
that they probably got lost. Finally
after much anxios waiting and inquir-
ing it was learned that there were
specimens in the possession of the
dead woman's cousin, Miss Julia
Crane, who lived in another part of
the county. The sheriff secured them
before he told her for which side be
wanted them.
The young woman for whom the
prosecution in it's effort to provide
motive says Hayes had an attachment,
offered to 60 on the stand, Mr.. Jaynes
says, but the story of their alleged at
tacbment was considered SO far-fetch-
ed that the defense thought it IN
necessary to cause her the embarrass-
ment. She was engaged to Hoyt up
to a short time before his marriage,
but they were simply friends after
that There was no gossip about them

tives and neighbors Of both Hoyt and
