SUDDEN DEATH.
John Mack Dies of Heart Disease
Yesterday.

From the Daily Item May 8.
John Mack, a negro who lived on
l1r. Joel E. Brunson's place on the
Mayesville road about five miles from
this city, was found dead in front
of his stable yesterday afternoon.
There was no reason TO suspect that
he had been killed, but Coroner Flow
ers was notified and he went out to
hold an investigation. DR.. S. c. Baker
examined the body and made the fol-
lowing report:
..1 have examined the dead body Of
John Mack, found dead in the door
of his stable. There are nc marks
OF violence upon the body. I have
been his physician for number of
wears. He has been suffering from
organic heart disease for five or six
years and from symptoms described
to me as accompanying his death I
feel sure that he died as result of
heart disease.

Bad, Luck.

Henry Slater, colored, has fallen on
evil sdays and cross-eyed luck has
playad him scurvy trick. Henry is
a negro of uncrossed lineage. and, as
such, deemed himself privileged to di-
yorce the wife of his bosom and take
unto himself another and younger
ebon.haea dansel without trip to
Georgia or consideration Of the COM
mandment.He did so and that was
where he fell down. The wife Of his
bosom remembered that there was
such thing as law and she appealed
to Judge Hurst for satisfaction, the
term being to her Synonymous with
revenge, and she put the iaw IN
Henry.
The bare idea of taking a negro in
to court for deserting one woman for
another has an element Of the bizarre
or outre and the actual occurrence
with names and dates specified and
set down in due form and circum-
stance is absolutely stunning.
Fate reserved for Henry the dis
tinction of being the exception that
proves the rule, and he must go to
the big court for doing no more and
no worse than thousands of: others Of
his race have done with impunity.
That. is where his luck went wrong.
If all of his race in Sumter county who
are guilty of the same offense he is
charged with were bound over for
trial, the Court Of General Sessions
would have to sit continuously for the
next six months to clear the docket.

NEW scAvENGER REGULATIONS.
A More Rigid Enforcement of the
Rules Decided Upon.

Aldermen H. D. Barnett, w. G.
Stubs, of the police and sanitary
committee, Health Officer Reardon,
Superintendent of Streets White, Chief
Of Police Bradford and Recorder
Hurst met yesterday afternoon to ar.
range for rigid enforcement of the
scavenger ordinance and to stop the
habit Of people leaving boxes and bar
rels on the sidewalks and streets.
The ordinance now in force requires
all trash, garbage and rubbish from
yards to be put out before 10 o'clock
a. M, and to be put in a box or barrel
of such size as can be conveniently
picked up and emptied by the cart
drivers. But great many people put
out large boxes, barrels and other
large receptacles, too large to be
handled by a driver and many pile
out wagon load at one time. Here
after the cart drivers will only move
such trash and other matter as is so
boxed that they can pick up the box
and empty it. The drivers must re-
fuse to move any trash or rubbish
from yards not boxed as required by
law, and will report every day at II
o'clock, noon and at o'clock in the
evening to Superintendent of Streets
all trash not properly boxed, and the
superintendent Of streets will report
to the health officer the names, who
will then request City Recorder Hurst
70 issue warrants for those persons
who permit violations Of the law at
their homes or places of business. All
cart drivers will be required after
emptying each box to put the empty
box off the street just inside the yard
from whence it came. Any person
placing the box back on the street
empty, or putting our box after 10
O'Clock a. M, will be arrested. No
person at any house OF store or place
of business can place empty boxes or
barrels on the streets or sidewalk. 1t
is also unlawful to place on the side
walk or street any thing Of any ma
ture whatsoever, except when loading
or unloading goods sold or freight,
etc.. and that must not be permitted
to remain any longer than is neces-
sary to remove the same.
The Police and Sanitary Committee
notified the Chief Of Police, Superin-
tendent of Streets ard Health Officer,
that the police force and otEer officers
vested with police powers will be held
responsible for the rigid enforcement
of this law. Parties violating must be
arrested. The streets and sidewalks
must be kept clean and clear of un-
slightly boxes and barrels and other
things. This rule Will go into effect in
a few days.

and Other Obstructions.
From the Daily Item May 4.
Acting under instructions from the
police and sanitary committee Of city
council to rigidly enforce the ordi-
nance against obstructing the streets
and sidewalks, and enforcing the scav-
enger ordinance, the police force and
health officer started out yesterday to
carry out orders. The health officer
rode around the city and wherever he
found a box too large to conform to
the scave GER ordinance, or any gar
bage or rubbish from yards not prop
erly boxed or barreled, he notified the
people to get the boxes off the streets,
and to properly, box or barrel the
same. The city cart drivers began
putting in the boxes and barrels after
emptying them, and the consequence
is that the sidewalks and streets are
being cleared Of boxes and barrels
and other obstructtons and present
much neater appearance. A regular
system of registration is now kept Of
all parties who are being notified not
to violate the law. The name Of the
party violating the law, the nature of
the violation, the number and street
and the date of notice all recorded.
After this week all violations will be
followed by prosecution before the re-
corder. Not a person objected to
complying with the law, in fact most

SHAH AFRAID IN DARK.

Where the Persian Mon

When the shah called upon NJ.

wonders of radium. he did not lii 3
the idea of dark room. His gran
vizier, relates the London st. James
Gazette. suggested drawing the cur.
tains of the room, but NJ. Curie per.
sisted that blackness was necessary.
Thereupon the shah called NJ. Paoli,
the French detective protector of roy,
alties, who assured his majesty that
there was no danger. So the party
descended to the underground apart.
ment in the hotel known as the safe
room. NJ. Curie began expounding
the properties Of radium, and then
gave a signal for the electric light
to be switched of. Immediately a
panic seized the shah's suite (says
the Chronicles correspondent, and
all cried out, in Persian and French:
Light! Light! Turn on the light"
The electricity was switched on
again, and the disappointed savant
was forced to show his radium in a
lighted room.

PROOF OF LIFELESS MOON.
Results of Scientific Telescope OBJ
servations Are Most Con-
elusive

: The moon being much the nearest
to US of all the heavenly bodies, we can
pronounce more definitely in its case
than in any other. We know that
neither air nor water exists on the
moon in quantities sufficient to be per-
ceived by the most delicate tests at our
command.
1t is certain, says Harper's Maya
zine, that the moons atmosphere, if
any exists, is less than the thousandth
part OF the density of that around us.
The vacuum is greater than any ordi.
nary airpump is capable of producing.
We can hardly suppose that so small
a quantity of air could be of any bene-
fit whatever in sustaining life. An
animal that could get along on so lit.
tie could get along on none at ALL.
P But the proof Of the absence of life
is yet stronger when we consider the
results of actual telescope observa-
tons. An object such as an ordinary
city block could be detected on the
moon. If anything like vegetation
were present on the surface, we should
see the changes which it would under
go in the course ofoa month, during
one portion Of which it would be ex.
posed to the rays of the unclouded
sun and during another to the intense
cold of space.
