and their financial hackers will
talk to Sumter about giving us
an electric railroad from this
city to Wright's Bluff OF some
nearer and more convenient
landing on the Santee river
if there is such landing,
there will be a lot more IN
terest than has been manifested
in their power plant. Such a
line would develop a fine section
of country and give Sumter a
chance to patronize the Colum-
bia boat line. Sumter needs
lower freight rates above all
other things that are needed,
and an electric road to the San
tee would probably be the means
of giving us rates approaching
water rates in cheapness. At this
stage of Sumter's development
we do not believe a street rail
way system would be profitable
for it is not a necessity, but we
are Of the opinion that an elec-
trio road to the river in connec-
tion with a power plant and
street railway system might be
made to earn a profit, and, at
the same time contribute mate
rally to the rapid growth of the
town, upon which the financial
success of the enterprise is de-
pendent. The future Of Sumter
would be much brighter than it
is if it were situated on a navi-
gable river, although none Of us
are discouraged by the present
outlook. Sumter can't go to the
river and we can't bring the
river to Sumter, but we can do
the next best thing by building
some sort Of road to the river to
bring freight down to the level
of water rates.

THE PYTHIAN CASTLE HALL.

Few things would do more for Sum-
ter's future than the permanent loca-
ton here of the Castle Hall for the
Grand Lodge, Knights Of Pythias. 1t
would mean that each year Sumter
would have the opportunity of enter
tanning several hundred of the most
representative men in the State. The
membership Of the Grand Lodge
changes each year and thus a differ
,ent set Of representative men would
each year see and feel Sumter's great
attractions and would go to their
homes in all parts of the State to talk
about them.
Not only this; but Sumter's being
the headquarters for such large or
der would keep our city always IN the
public eye. All circulars that should
be sent out by the Grand Chancellor
and by the Grand Keeper Of Records
and Seal would have at the top a cut
of the Castle Hall and the name OF the
city where it may be located and each
communication would be an adver-
tisement.
By all means let Us have the Castle
Hall.

BILE in the sleeve, which, in the
tailor-made, is severely plain

the wrist; and in the case Of the
more elaborate frock, ends at
the elbow and is finished by
frills.
Most of the coats for little
girls are trimmed with linen or
pique collars and cuffs, which
are adjustable, of course. And
these sets are made in hundred
ways from the simplest edge
with the plainest little scallop
to the most exquisite Of broderie

but preferably in combination
with embroidery. With her
palmer dresses she wears
straw hat, rather large and with
a dropping brim, untrimmed ex-
cept for a huge bow of the wild
est, softest ribbon that droops
with the brim.
The costs of lace and of linen,
made elaborate of heavy en-
broidery and Irish lace, are be-
ing held in reserve for warmer
days, but are unquestionably to
be among the fads of the COM
ing season. All Of the popular
coat models are copied in linen
and pique, though usually in
their simplest forms. The loose
coat, long or short. Of linen may
be plainly tailored, but is more
often trimmed in heavy en-
broidery and lace. Short double
breasted tailored coats, semi
fitting, are smart in linen or
pique with walking skirts Of the
same material. Pique, as we
have noted before, has come
back into favor, and the pique
short skirt will, as Of yore, be
one of the summer girls best
friends.

white and in color on white

ticularly effective. and among
these designs one with dots of

Odeil

The charges of Gov. Odeil
against President Roosevelt may
properly be taken cum grano
sails. We can easily credit him
with "pernicious activity" On a
pinch we might come to believe
that he was guilty of usurpatlon
as charged, and as we understand
it. this means that he has ex-
ercised influence to secure the
election of certain man tor
Sneaker of the New York house
of representatives. He may have
seen his way clear to interfere
with the plans of the Empire
States bell wethers, and if he has
done so there is little to fear that
any harm has been done. SO tar
as we can observe from this dis
tance, any mixing up of their
plans will be of unlimited bene-
fit. AS to his having been guilty
of "duplicity and treachery" that
is so self evidently false that 1t
requires no defense. Brave men
are never guilty OF these and
Roosevelt is brave. The charges
come from source recently
clouded with completely in the in
surance scandals. Possibly we
may still safely place our faith in
the President who is doing some
things that might reasonably be
expected to create certain
amount of dislike among the G. o.
p. politicians.

WHO KNOWS.

The Kansas City Star describes
what it calls IAN edifying spec
tacle" when it says:
What an inspiring incident is
that of John d. Rockefeller, the
great Christian philanthropi.t t,
evadlng the officers of the law,
who lay in wait tor him with sub
penas requiring his presence in
court to tell what he knows
about the operation of the Stand
ard Oil trust in Missouri.
What a spectacle for the nation
to contemplate is this furtive old
man, with more money than any
other man in the world, sur
rounded by a body guard, within
the confines of his own estate.
and fleeing from the approach of
every stranger.
What suspicious of conscious
guilt might be created by the
haunted look, the apprehensive
glance, and the whole humiliating
attitude of confession and avoid
ance if these circumstantial symP-
toms were manifested by man
not conspicuous as pietist, not
patron of churches and colleges,
and not a guide, counselor and
friend of United States senators.
With what reason does the Star
undertake to fathom the great
purposes of John d. Rockefeller 7
How does the Star know that Mr..
Rockefeller is not doing what is
best for public interest when he
avoids the service of this writ ?
Certainly it will not be denied
that he knows more about the
public business than the average
citizen does.
1t may be that where the ed
itor of the Kansas City Star can
see suspicion of conscious guilt
there is only conservation to the
loftiest patriotism. II may be
that where the editor of the Star
sees 1.-The haunted look" is only
the manifestation of anxiety ever
uppermost in the Rockefeller
bosom lest the public interests
suffer. 1t may be that the glance
which the Star editor regards as
apprehensive is apprehensive only
lest some bold, bad, man take
advantage of the poor. 1t may
be that Mr.. Rockefeller is so
thoroughly patriotic, SO thor
oughly Christain-like, that he is
quite willing to take on the APP
pearance of "humiliating atti-
tude of confession" even while
in his own good way-and in his
own unsel6sh way-he is working
out the destinies of the people
whose highest interests have been
instructed to his merciful care

RESORT DAMAGE CASE AZ
FIRMED.

The decision of the State Supreme
court handed down few days ago in
The case against the Saltair Beach
company for damages is quite vic.
tory for the young attorneys, Price &
McCrea, who brought the suit for the
plaintiff and got verdict and judg-
ment in the district court for $4,000
which the Supreme court affirmed.
The son of the plaintiff while bathing
al the beach was carried far out on
the lake and after long and arduous
struggle with the waters, was
drowned. The mother brought suit
for damages, alleging that the beach
company was to blame, because it had
not provided safeguards for bathers
and did not exercise due diligence in
trying to rescue the young man. 1t
is the first case of the kind that ever
arose in this state and the decision
of the Supreme court establishes a
precedent of great public interest.
When Price & McCrea brought the &C
ton many lawyers thought they had
little chance to recover damages, but
they fought it hard, basing their in
depreciation of the law of damages on
decisions in other states. Justice Nc
Carly wrote the opinion which was
concurred in by Justice Straup, Chief
Justice Bartch dissenting.
