This does not show that the dispen-
sary has decreased crime, and though
perhaps allowance should be made for
the fact that thu population of the
State has steadily increased since
1888, still the increase in crime is
more marked for the first period fol-
lowing the enactment and operation
of the law than for the period ended
the 31st Of last December Both per-
iods following the enactment Of the
dispensary law shows decided increase
in the number of murder. assault and
battery, burglary, larcenv and for
gerry. The first period following the
enactment of the dispensary law shows
an increaee marked and striking in
all particulars over the period preced-
ing the enactment Of the law, and
strange to say it shows an increase
over the last periods in all except
as to the murder, rape and perjury
cases. There are almost twice as
many cases in either Of the two last
periods, and the fact that there were
27 less murder cases in the six years
preceding is perhaps explained by the
decided falling off in the number of
cases reported in 1904-only l75 as
against 2o2 the preceding year-w hich
falling off is believed to be due to
better work on the part of jnries
throughout the State In 1899 the
ratio Of verdicts of not guilty TO
guilty was SO to 96, in 1901 81 to 70,
in 1901, 81 to II. in 1902. 103 to 1Ol,
in 1903, 100 to 102 and 1904, to 100 to
55.
Either period shows an increase in
the total offenses of over 30 per cent.
over the period preceding the operation
of the law which is hardly an elo-
uuent showing for the G. NJ. I.
In addition to these and other
offenses found enumerated on the cir
cult court dockets the years following
the enactment of the dispensary law
Witnessed the coming of an entirely
new crime that of violating the dis
pensary law. In the six years i'm
medistey following the inauguration
of the "system" there we're 2,0ll OF
these cases treated in the circuit
courts and though the next period
shows 8 falling of, there being only
154 in this many Of these minor vio-
latiors have for the past few years
been trjable in the magistrates courts.
High water mark in the States
murder record was reached in 1898
when there we're PAT cases.

AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.

Between the hours Of and ,
o'clock Wednesday night, Mr.. D. A.
Minor and Mr.. E. a. Bultman, who
had been enjoying an automobile
ride around the city, stopped at the
Minor Store to get some article de-
sired by Mr.. Bultman. No sooner
had they entered the store than Mr..
Bultman detected sounds on the tin
roof, which he took to be the walk
ing of man. He directed Mr..
Minors attention to it, and as soon
as the latter came to the conclusion
that Mr.. Bultman's suppos:1ion was
correct, he Immediately notified the
police.
The running Of Mr.. Minor 10 the
front door seemingly advertised the
miscreant of his detection, and he
was heard by Mr.. Bultman to jump
from the roof of the Minor Store to
the roof Of the store occupied by
Levy & Moses and from thence to the
ground.
a thorough search through the two
stores failed to reveal the identity Of
the would-be thief, and it is more
than likely that ne escaped by the
way of the back lots.

Editor Daily Item:
lam frequent visitor to the town
of Sumter and my observations lead
me to believe that the prosperity Of
your town has substantial basis and
that the day will come, if it is not
already at hand, when Sumter will be
one of the best business centres OF the
South.
The railway facilities offered at this
point are good and will doubtless i'm
prove; the wholesale and reta busi-
ness houses are extending their trade
into tie adjoining communities and
the tade reputation Of your town is
splendid; the hotel Accommodations are
superior to similar services III even
larger localities; and tie newspapers
of Sumter are very good for So small a
town.
But it seemsFto me TIE prominent or
paramount need of Sumter just now is
that If Public Library l understand
you have here first calss graded school
advantages and I take It the majority
of the people of Sumter are given to
the reading.of good books and in view
OI 6uSS0 ldCGS duQ bOC 1OItDO1 IoSes
that you have no colleges or seats of
learning. which would distibute in
tellectual light upon the people.
though personal contact, it becomes a
practical duty on the part of the town
of Sumter to supply the people, in
some way, thisrneed or want. namely,
the distribution of good books
through a Public Library.
It is said that Mr. Car egie has dis
continued bis contributions to the
erection uf Libraries. for no other rea-
sou than the fact that there has been
10 further demand.
If the people OF the town OF Sumter
would in some way get together and
request the services, in the shape of a
committee, Of the Mayor and Judge
Purdy and Major Noise and the Edi-
tor of the Sumter Item. I am sure
twelve months will not have passed by
before tre town will be able to enjoy
and profit bv the presence in their
midst of splendid and well-equipped
Public Library.
Build thee more stately mansions.
