SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
rom the Daily Item, August 30.

From the Daily Item, August 80.
Officers Barwick and Owens arrested
two negroes WHO gave their names as
Ed Service and John Gamble who, in
general appearance, answered the de-
script1on OF the two chain gang con-
victs who killed Guard Stello in
Charleston about two weeks ago, and
made their escape.
The arrest was made at the corner
Of Silver and Divine streets, where
thay were loa6ng about,
They were brought up to the Guard
House and examined. They claim to-
have come to Sumter from Manning
last Saturday and worked one day on
the railroad and have since worked
around the ice factory. 1t is not be-
lieved that they are the murderers Of
Stello, but they will be held until
they are identified and their residence
in Manning established. If they are
not escaped convicts they are probably
yagrants, who should be put to work
on the chain gang.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ion Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
cnrable. For great many years, doc
tors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly falling to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be
a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
The only constitutional cure on the

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake is Made by Many
Sumter Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause.
It is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
T. II. Bobo, employed at the cotton mill,
Oranceburg. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills did
me more good than any other remedy ever
used.
NV wife also used them for backache with
the same good results as obtained. l don
know whether her back was worse than
mine or not but both Of us had been ailing Tor
some two or three years, and at night we
tried rubbing ON iniments, coal oil, turpen-
tire. etc. but the old pain came back again
and nothing we could do seemed to help US
until got Doan's Kidney Pills. Since using
the pills we are like different people for the
backache disappeared. Doan's Kidney Pills
are wonderful remedy. and are worth every
cent they cost"

What has become of the Village
Improvement Society that was or
gained here last spring? Don't be
discouraged, ladies, because you did
not accomplish much last year. Just
buckle on your armor and go into
the fight this spring with deter
mination to win in whatever line Of
work you may take up. If you
petition the council TO do certain
things looking to municipal i'm.
provements, and if that body doesi. I
at first grant your request, keep on
asking until you do get what you
want. Montpelier is rich field fol
an Improvement society to work in
and if the ladies of the Montpelier
society will just screw their courage
and determination up to the stick
ing point and wade in, their efforts
will be crowned with success.

Value Of Crops Raised in Idaho.

On lands aggreg ating 932. 437 acres
there were produced in Idaho for the
year 1905 crops totaling in estimated
value the sum of S17. $685. These
figures are taken from the report of the
United States department of agriculture
based partly on figures furnished by
Commissioner Allen Miller of Idaho and
partly from government Investigations.
The full report of crops raised in 1905
has just been furnished Commissioner
Miller and here are some of the items:
Hay was the most valuable crop and
the largest, On 382. 487 acres, yielding
an average of Ito tons to the acre,
were produced 1,l85.558. tons. The
average price of hay that year was $500
per ton and the total value of the crop
is given as &c, 1896 ,223.
The next crop in Importance was win
ter wheat. On 1856 .066 acres, averaging
80 bushels to the acre, 6.274. lie bushels
were raised which at the average price
per bushel, So cents, amounted to total
value to $4,140,914. OF spring wheat
ITO, 800 acres averaged 23.8 bushels tt
the acre, producing q total crop Of
1909, 40 bushels. The average market
price was 65 cents per bushel and ths
value of the whole crop was -. 643 1928
The estimated total value of the oa'
crop for 1905 is given as 1892. 1854. A

NOW FOR A HIGH SCHOOL.

The need of high school in Mont
pelier was never more apparent than
at the present time. In the lower
school, eleven young people have
just graduated from the eighth grade
and in the upper school, seven or
eight will graduate from that grade
with the close of the school. Here,
then, are nearly a score of young
people who must leave home next
year to obtain a higher education.
But of that namber, II Is not likely
thar more than three or four will go
away to school, while if we had q
school here it is safe to say that all
of them would take up the high
school course. Besides, there will
be seven graduates from the eighth
grade at Bennington this year and
eight at Dingle, and with a high
school here there is no doubt but a
good proportion of those young
peopl. would come TO Montpelier to
school during the next four years.
Now that che two Montpelier dis
tricts have been consolidated, there
cannot be single objection raised
tothe establishment of high schoo
here. The next step will be tn!
holding of an election, which ha
been called by the county commls
sioners for May 4th, to vote upol
the proposition of making this al
independent district. This proposi
ton will undoubtedly carry by
very large majority, as there ar
numerous advantages IN having a
in dependent district, while no &C
ditional expense is incurred.
With the consolidation of the dii
tricts the phrases, sup town district
and ssdown town district" will b,
come obsolete, and we suggest ths
the two buildings be hereafter n
ferred TO by name. The uppe
building has been named the Wasl
ington school, but DO name has "
been given the lower building
Why wouldn't 1t be good plan I
permit the pupils of that school I
choose name. The teachers conl
select four or five appropriate name
and let the pupils vote on the que
tion, the building to be hereaft,
called by the name receiving Il
most votes by the pupils. In u
cities the school buildings are gene
ally given the name of some m;

It is quite probable that the demo
Gratis of the Second judicial district
will not nominate candidate for
judge in opposition to Judge Steele,
who will undoubtedly be the repub-
lican nominee. Judge Fogg, a
leading democrat of that district.
has declared that he will advocate
the endorsement of Judge Steele by
the democrats. AS Judge Steele's
record is in the Second, SO is Judge
Budge's record in this district, and
we cannot think of any democratic
attorney in the district who will
care to make the race against The
Judge. His decisions have been alb
solutely free from partisan bias and
prejudice, and in all the cases tina,
have been appealed to the supreme
court during his term, he has beer
reversed only four or five times
This is certainly a splendid RECORD
for a district Judge during his frs
term. The republicans of this dis
trlct will re nominate the Judge b,
reclamation and we believe that tn
people will re-elect him by an over
whelming majority, in the even
that the democrats nominate car
didate against him.

may have ability sufficient to hold and
probably conduct successfully minor
office, but for Governor Mississippi needs
a man of known ability, one whose
friends concede him greater executive
capacity than he would claim. Such a
man is the Hon. Charles Scott, of Rose
dale.-Sunfower Tocsin, Indianola.
Hon. Charles Scott announces that he
will be a candidate for Governor. The
Herald does not know how many Others
will announce for this honorable posi-
tion., We do know that Mississippi has
no man better qualified than Charles
Scott of Bolivar County. He would
make one of the ablest chief executives
the State ever had. There is none of
the cheap political clap-trap about Mr..
Scott, and his administration would be
marked with dignity and loftiness
that would place him among the leading
Governors OF the United States.-Yazoo
Herald.
Hon. Chas. Scott has received more
high tributes from the press and lead
ing men of the State since he became
candidate for governor than has any
other candidate for the same office, dur
ing the same length of time, within the
recollection of the writer. This peerless
statesman is the ablest and best quail
fed from standpoint of character,
knowledge and special fitness, in the
writer's humble opinion, of any man so
far announced or who has been men
toned in connection with the Office
Newton Record.
A successful business man in the gu
bernatorial chair is the most desirable,
but when we can get man who COM
bines all the qualifications that go with a
successful business man, successful bank
er, successful lawyer and successful
farmer, with a reputation that stands
out before the world as absolutely ire
proachable, then there is no alternative
for the Mississippian who really and
ardently wishes to see his State take a
