AUTOMOBILE REGISTRATION.
Many Have Made Application to Clerk
Of Court Parrot, ';ut He Could
Not Register Them.

The failure of the automobiles OF
Sumter to comply with the law enacted
at tie last session Of the legislature,
which requires, among other things,
that each owner of a car shall register
his car with the county clerk of court
and receive a number, which number
shall be prominently displayed on the
car, is not due to their disregard of the
law. Quite number, if not large
majority, Of the automobile owners
have made application to Clerk OF
Court Parrot for registration. He
was not able to register them and as
sign them numbers, as required, for
the reason that he has not been fur
nished with the proper blanks anc
books for registration. It is the duty
Of some one to provide these blanks
and record books, and this official
whoever he might be-has failed to
provide them, and consequently Clerk
Parrott has not been able to comply
with the request Of the automobilists
for registration. AS a matter Of fact,
the automobiles of Sumter are anx-
ious to comply with the law, which
they regard as just and reasonable in
its requirements, and just as soon as
Clerk Of Court Parrot is ready to
register them they will do their part.

FROM. PLANT TO CIGAR.

Frank p. Lewis has recently returned
from trip through the best tobacco sec
tions, looking over the growing fields. He
noted the best crops and engaged them,
and will go later to watch the curing and
packing of same. He also, while there, ex-
amined some of his large holdings of old to-
bacco and found this to be growing richer
in quality every day. The Lewis Single
Binder factory probably controls more
fancy graded tobacco than any other cigar
factory in the United States. Smokers of
Single Binders have evidently learned this
fact which accounts for the ever increas-
ing demand. In spite of the fact that the
factory sends out no travelling salesman to
boom its good quality to the trade, the
Single Binder Sales reached seven million
last year and will exceed eight million in
1905. The Single Binder sells itself For

Mrs'Bessie Mns/ex

To be such a successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband. to inspire him to make tho
most of himself, should be q womans
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start ut once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers. such as Lydia E Pink

FOOTBALL REFORM.
Big Colleges May Abolish the Game
for Two Years.

Chicago-Reformed football. as rec
commended by the faculty representa-.
tives of the big Nine" colleges at Il
conference here few weeks ago. will
prevail in the future at both the Uni
versity of Chicago and Northwestern
University. This was agreed upon at
meetings of the faculty of both insti
tutions. In each instance the decision
to abolish the former style of college
football was unanimous and the pro-
fessors of the University of Chicago
even went so far as to express their
preference for the abandonment OF all
styles OF football for II period of two
years. AS a step toward this end res
olutions were adopted stating that It
was the desire OF the University OF
Chicago to abolish the game entirely
for such a length of time. copy OF
the resolutions will be sent to the
other universities composing the big
Nine" with the request that an agree
ment be entered into eliminating the
game of football for the next two
years.

Northwestern University all the rec
concentrations made by the conference
We're adopted. although nothing was
said about abandoning the game.

the surface.
The dead are T. Oleson and Allen

o'clock Sunday morning. James Ste

down on the first cage to investigate
the air conditions. and when the cage
went down with a number of men they
were cautioned by the foreman to re-

become purified.
The miners had been below only n

Denver.-lmprovemen costing ST.
100000 will be begun Immediately at
the Union Stock Yards and the Colo
RADIO Packing and Western Packing
Company's plants by the National
Packing Company. which now owns
the Denver packing plants. Employ
ment will be given to 1000 more men
by these improvements. Official an
nouncement of this fact, says the
News, and an outline of the plans, has
been made by Edward Tilden, presi-
dent of the National Packing Com
pany.
Denver will be Immediately provided
with facilities for taking care of live
stock equal to those at Omaha, Kan
sas City. st. Joseph, Sioux City and
other packing centers. according to
Mr.. Tilden. and will become the great
est sheep market in the country. The
National Packing Company will eX-
tend its hog division from Omaha to
Denver, and this city will be the dis
tributing as well as the killing point
for the entire country west of the Mis-
sissippi from now on.
Following is list of the most i'm
portant improvements decided upon
by Mr.. Tilden during his stay this
week in Denver:
The capacity of both the Western
ana Colorado packing plants will be
doubled
The Union Stock Yards will be ex-
tended to the Colorado & Southern
tracks on the north and the Burling-
ton tracks on the south. and the entire
yards will be paved with brick.
The Stockman's Bank in the Ex-
change building will be enlarged and
will occupy the entire southern half
of the building on the first floor.
The old frame Exchange building
will be re-equipped and fitted out in
the most modern manner for a stock
mems hotel.
A permanent show pavilion in which
the western live stock shows will be
held annually will be erected.
An immense stable for fine blooded
horses will be built in the northern
part of the yards.
An entire re-arrangement of the
pens will take place and changes have
already been commenced.
The s eep pens will occupy the en-
tire western half of the yards. the cat
tie and horse pens the eastern haIf
and new pens for hogs will be built in
the southern end of the yards.
These changes have been deter
mined upon" said Mr.. Tilden yester-
day, "and am taking blue prints back
to Chicago for the use of our master
mechanic. The changes will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000,000. and
work will be rushed on them from now
en-. AS the capacity of Denver as a
killing and distributing market in
creases we will continue to increase
the plants and the yards"
