Sanders has not so far received any communication from Governor Jeiks about the complaint written oy Governor Blanchard of Louisiana, on tha regulation of the Alabama quaran- tine forbidding refugees backtracking into the State after once passing through. This is taken to indicate that Governor Jelks will ignore the com pIaint as inconsistent and groundless especially when taken with the inter- view of the Alabama chief executive given out yesterday in Birmingham printed elsewhere in The Advertts- ar

Sheppard saw that they could be pacified in only one way This was to give them hippopot- anus meat. They had no hippopota- mus meat, but despairingly the mis- sionary took his gun and rushed to the bank of the river to hunt one of the animals. Luckily the bulk of a hippo was seen through the bushes aud he fired a fatal shot into the animal and he fell like a hulk. This he gave to the hungry natives and saved the lives of himself and Dr. Lapsley. ,s.,
 The dangers of African fever and soth- CT perils to be met with in the mission ary work were told of by the speaker and pieces of cloth made by natives, woven 'n looms made by their own hands, were shown to the audience.

A GENEROUS GIFT.
Resolutions Adopted by st. James Lu-
tlaeran Church.

At a congregational meeting Of st.
James Lutheran church held imme-
diately after the morning service, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, First, That we, the mem
bers Of st. James Evangelical Luther
an church of Sumter, S. c., in meeting
assembled, do hereby desire to express
to our beloved and devoted sister, Mrs.
Maggie E. Loughery, our heartfelt
thanks and highest appreciation Of the
most valued Christmas memorial gift
Tin memory Of her late husband, Mr..
Jno. F. Loughery) Of $500. With
which we were to, and have cancelled
the debt on our church property. It is
with profound gratitude that we here
endeavor to give expression to our in
most emotions-yet we fail, for no
language Of ours is adequate to por-
tray the facts we desire to express.
Second, That we are also truly
grateful and not in the least unmind-
full Of her continued support and CO.
operation, although she has transfer
red her membership.
voice our thankfulness and gratitude,
but assure her that the very strongest
ties of brotherly love prompts these
expressions from US to her, personally,
and in memory Of our late brother.
Fourth, That our secretary be in
structed to forward copy of these
resolutions to her, 1.-The Ligonier
Echo;" 1.-The Lutheran Church Wis
itor," and our county papers.
Sumter, S. C. January Is, 1904.
The circumstances connected with
this generous gift to the church by
Mrs, Loughery are of sufficient inter-
est to- bear repetition at this time.
Mr. j. F. Loughery shortly before
his death had informed the church Of
ficials that it was his intention to pay
the outstanding debt Of the church,
but had not been able. to- do so prior
to his tragic death as the result Of
an accident at the Luken's Lumber
Co.'s mill. He never regained COR
sciousness after being injured and was
not able to make provisions for the
execution of his pledge, after his death.
Mrs. Loughery, however, being cogni-
zant Of his promise to- the church, felt
it sacred duty that she should carry
out his wishes and Of her OWE voli-
ton made the Donation that relieved
the church OF debt.

touched pine forests. With such

touched pine forests. With such a
railroad in operation Charleston would
have a direct route-over the Sumter
and Northern and the railroad now
extending from McBee to Jefferson. in
the upper part Of Chestefeld county
! into the heart of a territory from
which she is now practically shut out
| Sumter needs new railroad to Bish-
opville and a connection with the Sea-
board Air Line, and, thanks to the
enterprise Of some of our citizens, the
new outlet is now assured. Charleston
should do likewises, but, if her busi-
ness men are not in hurry and are
content to wait few years until Sum-
ter needs another outlet to Charles
ton and the timber in upper Berkeley
county, the Sumter and Northern will
be extended in an air line to tidewater
which, fortunately for Charleston, will
land it somewhere in vicinity Of that
harbor. But putting pleasantly aside,
and speaking seriously, it seems to US
that the easiest. quickest and most
profitable way to unbottle Charleston
is for the business men and capitalists
Of that city to pull out the cork them
selves by building a railroad seventy
or eighty miles to this city. We believe
that railroad will ultimately be built
on the route indicated, for lumber
men Of experience say that there is
sufficient timber in the country
through which an air line to Charles
ton would pass to keep many saw
mills busy for many years. The lum-
Der business alone would therefore
provide the road with heavy freight
business for several years and by the
time the timber should be exhausted
the country would have been de-
veloped sufficiently to furnish a prof
table volume Of local business. But
If there were no local business at all,
an outlet of this character ought to be
worth more to Charleston than it
would cost. The idea appeals to us
and we would like to see it realized,
so If Charleston, like Sumter, has not
the money to build it herself, we sug-
gest that some of her citizens take
leaf out OF Sumter's book and hustle
around until they find some one with
the money and enterprise to build it
for them. Before they start out to
hustle, however and it would be
most edifying spectacle to see them
so engaged-they must believe heart
and soul that the proposition is the
best thing that was ever promoted,
for it takes more faith to interest
capitalists in railroad that unbottles
another mans town and runs through
other peoples land than to believe
that Sherman didn't burn Columbia.
It seems to us, however. that with a
stake like this Charleston should and
could furnish not only the faith, but
the money and the hustle, also.

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
.Gonsressznan lever Expects Favorable
Action by Congress This Session.

CONGRESSMAN A. E. Lever writes
Postmaster Shore that the outlook for
the early passage Of the bill carrying
an appropriation for the erection Of
the government building in this city IS
very encouraging. that he has the mat
ter well In hand and that he has rea-
son to believe that the bill will be
taken up and favorably recommended
by the house committee on public
buildings at this session Of congress.
Mr. Lever has worked zealousiy to
secure favorable action on the Sum-
ter public building bill and the con-
fidence he now expresses that his eff
torts will be crowned with success in
the near future is the best sort Of
news. The public building is assured,
no one ever doubted that we would
get it in time, but thanks to Mr..
Levers indefatigible efforts it will not
be a case of hope long deferred.
II the COiuNllIGt oN p0Ui8S OoiAo11AoS
shall make favorable report at this
session. it is probable that the bill will
be taken up and passed before con-
gress adjourns.
The public building was suggested
by The Daily Item and was immediate
ly taken by Mr.. Lever who has since
exhibited the greatest possible interest
in the matter, for, as he stated IN
letter to the writer, Immediately after
the suggestion was first made, he felt
| that Sumter was entitled to public
| building and he would spare no ef-
forts to secure an appropriation.
The next thing to be secured is an
appropriation for monument to Gen.
Sumter. Mr.. Lever is working for this
also, and he will secure an appropria-
ton before he lets up.
