JERE B. ANSLEY IS
DEAD AT RIPE AGE.
Passes Away After a Brief
Illness.
A VETERAN OF WAR IN MEXICO
Pioneer Cltiz on is Called to Higher
Reward-Funeral Services YeSter-
day Were Attended With all Honors
of Masonry.

The last rites were paid yesterday to
Judge Jere B. Ansley and the funeral
services, conducted from the Presby-
terrain church by Rev. J. L. Irwin,
assisted by Rev. r l.. Bivins of Fur
low Lawn Baptist church, were atten-
ded by a very large number of sorrow
ing friends.
And full Masonic honors were paid
the deceased as well.
Judge Ansley died on Sunday morn
ina after an illness of only two days.
He was unwelI for some time but con-
tinued the duties of his Office until two
days before his demise.
Rheumatism about the heart was the
probable cause of death, although his
age and generally enfeebled condition
FASTENED the end. Judge Ansley
passed away at o'clock Sunday morn
ing at the city hospital, where he had
been carried the day previous.
Judge Ansley was 70 years of age
and is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Phillips and Miss Lou Ansley of At
lanta, his nearest relatives.
The deceased was a native of Butts
county, but while still lad came with
his parents to Sumter county where he
has resided for perhaps seventy years.
He was veteran of the war with Msxi-
co, and also rendered service to the
Confederacy in the Civil war.
For long number of years he has
been the presiding Justice of the peace
of this district, and during the funera
hours yesterday the several depart
ments of the courthouse were closed.
Judge Ansley was an ardent and de
voted Mason, being member of Ameri
Gus lodge No 10 and also of Well
Chapter r A. M. He was also q mem
Der of DeMolay Commandery, Knight
Templar, and of Yaarab Temple. FnI
Masonic rites attended the funera
services.
Knights Templar acted as pail bear
ers, and the services at the grave wer
concluded with the Masonic ritual

WILL PAY CITY TAX
IF SHOW IS GIVEN.
Special Meeting of Council
Held.
ACTION IN MATTER IS TAKEN
Council Imposed Special License Tax
on SevaI Attractions and 1t Seems
Vet Tax Exemption Does Not Go
Entirely.

Whether or not carnival company,
operating under the usual "old vet" Ii
cense, is exempt from the special Ii
cense tax was the momentous question
argued at special meeting of the city
council last night, lasting two hours.
And the verdict rendered was in ia
vor of the municipality.
The carnival company came to town
Sunday, and early yesterday morning
pitched tents on vacant lot. But it
seemed that the city council had gran
ted no license.
Rence.the meeting called last night
for that specific purpose.
Tue manager of the show appeared
before the solons and claimed exemp-
sion under the vet lie 9nse for most of
the attractions, claimed as his own
property. After hearing from him at
considerable length the solons went
into closed session for debates
And the result was the assessment OF
the following scale of prices as a spec
ial city tax.
Each show under canvas, $40 for the
week; for the Ferris wheel, SIS; for
the cane racks, lunch stands, knife
racks, etc $5.each; for all similar ex-
hIbits So; tax of So each on the flying
jenny and the shooting gallery is
already fixed by an ordinance, and
these are covered.
This was the showdown made by the
council, and it remains to be seen what
the carnival is going to do about it,
The special tax on such attractions here
is pretty high, the one Last year being
taxed 5000.

suMTER's COURT MONDAY NEXT
Session Her Gives Promise of Being
Short.

The regular November term OF Sum-

day, 9th. Judge LittleJohn will pro-
side as usual, and while the session
will be busy one it does not promise
to be of great duration. In fact, the
small number of civil cases appearing
upon the docket would seem to insure
about the shortest session In many
years, Less than a dozen new cases
were docketed on raturn day, while the
amount Of old business is not large.
There are but few pr1e oners in Jail, and
unless the grand jury develops great
er number of cases than expected the
trial of that docket will not consume
many days. The last session OF court
lasted only eight or ten working days,
and the term beginning next week
may even lower that record. There is
no court anywhere this week, and the
lawyers will thus get rest for the le-
gal wrestle a week hence,
