The Mere CheapnesS Fallacy

Price reduction is great factor in the Porter Sale-but not the whole thing.
 No doubt at some time or other, you bought suit at a great bargain, but, it developed strange proclivities after three months and you succeeded 1t with another.
 How much better to have had one of Porter suit and quality than two poorly tailored-simply because it was cheap.

At the North Pole.

At the north pole there is only
one direction south. One could go
south in as many ways as there are
points on the compass card, but ev-
cry one of these ways is southeast
and west have vanished. The hour
Of day at the pole is paradoxical
conception, for that point is the
meeting place Of every meridian, and
the time of all holds good, SO that
it is any hour one cares to mention.
Unpunctuality is hence impossible,
but the question grows complex and
its practical solution concerns few.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Is Endeavoring to Have a Local
Freight Train Put on Between
Columbia and Lanes.

An effort was made by the Chamber
of Commerce in behalf of the whole
sale merchants of Sumter, to have a
daily local freight train put on be-
tween Columbia and Lanes, or Char
lesion. There is tri-weekly train be-
tween Sumter and Lanes during the
summer months, and daily il the
husv fall season. Bus the effort has
not yet been crowned with success, as
the railroad does Tot think the train
will pay. Watching train schedules,
and railroad rates in the interest of
S.mter trade is very important part
Of the business Of the secretary Of
Chamber of Commerce. Other towns
and cities want schedules just like
Sumter does, and if they see chance
to change schedules in their interest,
and against Sumter they will very
naturally do So So far the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce has not only
held our old and convenient trade
schedules in the interset Of Sumter,
bnt it has had additional trains, and
better schedules put on for the Sumter
trade.

A GREAT RECORD
As Up-to-Date '.Piking" Thieves Made
by This Trio.
From the Daily Item. July 6.


Andrew Kelley. colored, who for
some time past has been the trusted
porter Of the DuRant Pharmacy, has
proven to be in class all to himself
when it comes to the arts Of a sneak
thief. He evidently heads the list,
and the various articles which he has
purloined from DR.. DuRant recently
would put an ordinary establishment
out Of business. The negro was never
suspected by DR.. DuRant Of being dis
honest and of course he had every op-
portunity to supply himself with what
he needed, and quite number of
articles which he did not need.
Kelley was not alone in his mis-
chief, as he had as his partners in
crime Lawson Andrews and Frank
Richardson.
Officer Pierson last night saw Frank
Richardson with bucket of sugar
and questioned him as to where he
got it and was told by Richardson
that Kelley gave it to him. The Of
Ger took him to Kelley who was found
at the drug store Kelley was ques-
toned about the sugar and said he
bought it, but this has been proven
false. Kelley was standing on the
outside of the drug store with step
ladder which he was going to place
in the store, and after putting the lad
der on the inside he gave officer Pier
son the "high sign" and escaped
through the back door, and is still at
large.
Richardson had the key to Kelley's
room and gave it to officer Weeks
who went to the room and searched
It, finding the following articles: Six
bottles Of crushed fruit, five Of which
were empty, spoons, ice cream sau-
GERS, two ice cream freezers, about 25
pounds of sugar, one case Of bottled
soda water, one hot chocolate urn, one
box of ice cream salt, all of which are
now at the police station.
Lawson Andrews is connected with
the case because of his having remov-
ed several articles from Kelley's room.
Kelley, who has several aliases, one
of which is Andrew Jackson, appears
IN the court records and changing en-
istment book and has quite record.
He is the fellow who stole the William
Goat and turkey gobbler from Har-
mon D. Noise, Esq, while working
out an attorneys fee, 1Ir. Noise ha1-
ing defended him and secured his ac-
quittal for horse stealing. He was
subsequently convicted of chicken
stealing and served term on the
chaingang.
