John Bethea, many-times
convict, has added to his numer-
Gus exploits that Of car breaking.
He was arrested last night on
suspicion, and when his house
was searched, it was found to
be a veritable store house for
provisions that he had stolen. He
broke into cars in the Coast Line
side track in front of Geo. D.
Shore & Bros warehouse and
the warehouse Of the Sumter
Banking and Mercantile Com
pany, altogether seven cars were
entered.
When he was pressed to reveal
the names of his colleagues in
crime, he gave the police officers
information against three men
who were entirely ignorant of
the crime. They were immediate
ly set at liberty, after a thorough
examination had been made.
Bethea is now in jail, and ev-
cry effort will be exerted to ap-
prehend his accomplices.

The St. Paul News has convinced it
self ga great deal of sentiment is bein
wasted on the Southern negro. That
he is denied his political rights no one
will question. That he was given
these rights before be was ready for
them few will deny. That he is also
denied social privileges and recogni-
tion is true beyond question. But the
North is not whit behind the South
in this particular. Racial prejudices are
not easily overcome. The negro must
work out his salvation. Denied full
recognation, be must use the oppor-
tunities given him and show himself a
man. If he cannot hold his own polltl-
clans and legislation cannot do 1t Tor
him. Under the circumstances his
progress has been remarkable. "

VEHICLE MANufAcToRY PROPOSED.
Messrs. Jesse c. Boyd and William H.
Kelsey of RushyilIe, Ind, in the City
With Proposition to Establish
Big Factory.
From the Daily Item April Z.

From Ine Oaily 1tSm April Z.
Messrs. Jesse G. Boyd and William
H. Kelsey. of Rushville. Ind, have
been in the city since yesterday pros
pecting for a site for a buggy and
wagon factory. They are the owners
of a patent for new design for buggy
which has no fifth wheel and that
possesses decided advantages over
any other vehicle now being Emanu-
factured. Mr.. Boyd is the inventor,
and patentee of the new buggy and
both he and Mr. Kelsey have had
many year, experience in the manufac-
ture Of vehicles. Several of Mr..
Boyd's patents are now in general use
by leading buggy makers in the North
and West.
Mr. Kelsey has spent three winters
in the South for the benefit of his
health, staying the greater part OF the
time each winter in Columbia, and
Investigations and observations have
so impressed him with the advantages
that this section possesses over the
North and West for manufacturing
enterprises of the character that he
and Mr.. Boyd propose to establish that
they have decided to locate their fac
tory at some suitable point in this
State. At his suggestion Mr.. Boyd
came down to look over the field for
himself.
Mr.. Boyd's observation has led him
to the same conclusion arrived at by
Mr.. Kelsey and it is now only ques-
tion of location with them. Mr..
Boyd has been in Columbia for sew
eral days. but, as Mr.. Kelsey says,
they we're so strongly advised by dis
interested persons to visit Sumter be-
fore making any decision that they
felt compelled to come over and see
the town for themselves.
They looked over the town yester-
day and we're go favorably impressed
with what they saw and also by the
facts they ascertained in reference to
the supply of hardwood suitable for
buggy and wagon building that they
ars prepared to talk business on the
question Of locating their factory
here. To bring the matter to busl-
ness basis a meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce has been called in the
City Clerks Office at 8 O'Clock this
evening to discuss the matter with
Messrs Boyd and Kelsey.
Without going into details, the pro-
position these gentlemen will make
is that they will locate factory to
make buggies and wagons in this city,
provided q site is donated, exemption
from taxes granted and certain
amount of the proposed capital stock
of $1,000 taken by local capital
lists. The details of their PROPOSE
tion will be laid before the meeting
tonight and it will then; be up to
the Chamber Of Commerce to decide
whether the effort shall be made to
secure this enterprise for Sumter.
Messrs. Boyd and Kelsey say that
they propose to operate quite large
plant, and that when it becomes we'll
established at least one thousand
workmen will be employed.

From the Daily Item April 8.
The meeting of the committee on
Manufactures of the Chamber of
Commerce held last night to hear and
consider the proposition Of Messrs.
Jessie G. Boyd and ". H. Kelsey, of
Rdshville, Ind, who we're here looking
for a site for buggy and wagon fac
tory, which they had stated that they
pu rpose establishing in the South.
The meeting was without results,
Mesrs. Boyd and Kelsey having no
definite proposition to submit and did
not make q business like showing
that the committee could take up and
consider.
They merely stated that they we're
looking for a location for factory
and that they wanted to know what
Sumter would do for them; that they
wanted all they could get and woulo
20 where they were offered the great,
est inducements. They also stated
that they were in measure commiS-
ted to parties in Columbia and could
not make a definite proposition.
Although the committee received
no clear idea of t! Q proposed enter
prise, Messfs. Boyd and Kelsey, were
assured that when they were in a pos
tion to submit definite proposition
that the Chamber of Commerce would
be glad to consider it and if, upon in
vestiagtion, it seemed to be of advan.
taga to the city to have it located
here, substantial encouragement
would be given them.

SEVEN BOX CARS ROBBED.
Thieves Made Big Haul in Atlantic
Coast Line Yard This Morning.

From the Daily Item April 5.
Seven box cars loaded with mer-
chandise which were on the tracks in
the Atlantic Coast Line yard were
broken open and robbed this morning
between o'clock and daylight.
Three of these cars were on the
side track at the Sumter Banking
and Mercantile Co., one was on the
side track at George D. Shore & Bros,
warehouse and three were on the At
laintic Coast Line tracks. The three
cars first referred to had been de-
livered to the Sumter Banking and
Mercantile Company and the loss will
fall upon that company, likewise with
the car on Geo. D. Shore & Bro s
track. The three other cars being still
in the possession Of the Atlantic Coast
Line the loss will be borne by the rail-
road. These three cars were con-
signed to the Sumter Banking and
Mercantile Company. The value of the
goods stolen has not yet been ascer-
tanned and cannot be until the goods
remaining in the cars have been
checked out.
The thieves made considerable
haul, however, securing lot Of meat.
rice,a sugar, oats, meal, etc.
It is thought that several persons
took part in the robbery and that they
had a wagon or wagons in which to
carry the goods.
The police are at work on the case,
and while they have no definite 1nfor-
NATION to work on they hope to sue
ceed in running the thieves to earth.

NO IMPROVEMENT PROMISED.
Mr.. Wilson Says He Cannot Make the
Desired Change in Schedule
on Northwestern.

The following letter received by
Secretary E. I. Reardon Of the Cham
Der of Commerce is self-explanatory
but not very satisfactory to those who
desire and have asked for better
schedule between Sumter and Sum-
merton:
Sumter, S. c., April 4. 1905
sMr. E. I. Reardon, Secretary Cham
Der of Commerce, Sumter, S. c.
Dear Sir-I have your favor of 2Sth
ultino, and note what you have to say
in regards to change Of schedule in
the Northwestern railroad between
wilson's mill and SUMTER
ssThis matter has previously been
carefully considered and the changes
suggested bs::you found to be i'm
practicable ass the distance and the
hours will be entirely too long for
one crew and the earnings of the
road do not justify the putting on Of
an additional train.
with the exception Of a month
to six weeks, in the busy season, we
have a lay oyer Of about three hours
at Sumter, which allows reasonable
time for the transaction of business
and the return of passengers the same
s
day.
.The changes suggested by you
would break our connection at Will
sons Mill, at which point we re-
ceive most OF our mail and express,
and would interfere with out per-
torrance of our contract with the
postohce department for the hand
ling and exchange of mail.
yours truly,
