USING .wH1sKEY IN ELECTION
Mr.. T. H. osteen ndicts Magistrate
John F. Ingram For Violating the
Election Laws.

From The Daily Item Sept. rs.
Magistrate ]. W. Reese, of State
burg. came to the city today for the
purpose of holding preliminary ex-
emination in the case of the State
VS.. John F. Ingram, Indicted for using
whiskey for the purpose of in
fuencing and procuring votes at the
recent primary election at Privateer'
in which he was a candidate for the
Office Of magistrate Of the fourth judi
cial district of Sumter county and
was opposed by Mr.. T. H. Osteen, a
relative of the prosecutor in this case.
Magistrate, H. Hardy accorded
MAGISTRATE Reese the privilege OF
holding the investigation in his Of
fee, and at 12 o'clock today, prose-
cutor. defendant and numerous wit
nesses crowded the court room. The
preliminary was opened with an
argument by L. D. Jennings, Esq,
relative to the jurisdiction Of the
court, and sontending that the war
rant was issued under the wrong
section of the code. The question
was whether sor not Magistrate Reese
had jurisdiction to hold a formal trial,
or whether it was such case thai
his jurisdiction was circumscribed by
a right to hold a preliminary ex-
animation. Magistrate Reese was
uncertain as to the points of law in
volved, and postponed the investiga-
ton until Friday next. at which time
the defendant and witnesses must ap-
pear at Privateer.
This case has created much interest
throughout the county, and as it is
the first Indictment in Sumter under
the new primary election laws, its
outcome will be anxiously awaited.

Letter to Wells s. Edens.
Sumter. S. c.

Dear Sirs: Here's tale with three
or four tails 10 it,
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercersburg. Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. It used to
take 80 gallons of paint. There were
two pain t-stores there, and he used to
buy Zone year of one, next year CT the
other) 80 gallons year after year:
Now he paints Devoe: so gallons
and the difference is a saving OF Sl5O
year.
HC Fallon was one of those dealers,
good man; but he wouldn't tske-up
Devoe; so we turned to the other, J A
Boyd. But Fallon has found it neces-
sary to get "a good paint to compete
with Devoe. He got one of the eight
honest paints. He has! big hard
ware store and is doing al excel
lent hardware business; but Boyd, OF
course, has the run on paint-he's a
little hardware man.
We don't care how little or big q
man is, if he wants good paint and is
active and sound.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,

Sumter District Prosperous.

Editor Daily Item:
Your report in today's issue of the
meeting of the pastors. Of the Sumter
district yesterday must have been be-
tained from some one who knew but
little. if anything, Of the real status
of affairs in this district.
You indicate that the effec: OF a
shortage in crops has had its effect on
our finances and safe that the be
nevolent contributions are slower
coming in than usual, and missionary
of affairs in this district.
AS a matter of fact, and on record
in my Office, the collections for be-
nevolences are far in advance of all
previous records at this date, Septem-
Der 27. And not a pastor present yes
aerday expressed doubt as 20 collec-
tons in full by the session of the an
n11al conference in November, as was
the case last year
Again, as a, matter of fact and on
record in my office, the entire assess
nent for both home and foreign mis-
sions has already been paid in fun,
with a surplus, and this surplus will
be made still larger by conference.
We have over 5000 Metiio ';sts in
this district who are able and ready
to meet all calls for benevoienl pur-
poses and will take great pleasure in
so doing. Storms will not ,dampen
their ardor nor shortages in crops
estop them from dlscharg;ng their
highest obligations. This is my faith
in a, generous psople whom have
known and served for these four
years. Kindly yours,
H. B. Browne, Presiding Elder !.

SUMTER HORSES ON TRACK.

The fact that Sumter has no race
course of its own and no fair ground
for exploiting its home properties, is
a serious drawback, but one possible
to be overcome. Already there are
seven Sumter horses training to COM
pete for heavy prizes at races to be
run at fairs at Woodruff, Greenville
and Columbia Some of these enter
as two-year-olds and some go for the
three-year-old class. They came to
Sumter IN car form Kentucky about
a year ago, and the time they make
now on trial shows that someone here
is a good judge of horse flesh.
Mr.. Walter Stubs is the owner Of
one of the three-year-oids, and he
has had it in Greenville for two weeks
training under his jockey, Layman.
The first race comes off there next
week, and Mr.. Stubs is expecting
his filly TO show clear pair Of heels.
He will not tell what time has been
made but it must be pretty good as
already he is thinking of carrying the
prize winner East to sell where
prices are high.
Mr.. Willie Bultman, also. has one
colt to run at the three fairs; Mr.. c..
F. McFadden has one; Mr.. S. A. Har-
vim one; Mr.. Gordon one, and Mr..
Daniel Davis, in the country, two.
These make up a pretty batch Of
seven, and there ought to be some
good prize money coming this way
when the fairs are over.
M1. stubbs IS much Interested IN
getting up q Sumter far. Tbs bene-
acial results OF suca institutions are
vel: Ano"n, the improved breed Of
stock ana the incentive to excel. And
so far as a race course in concerned,
there are now enough horses III
Sumter and near it to make a good
start. Besides the seven mentioned.
Mr.. T. O. Sanders and Mr.. A. K San
ders of Hagood, have seven more.
Mr.. Richard Richardson, just across
the Columbia line, has one that did
good work last season, and possible
second, and others here and there
make up a strong organization.

MEETING OF GLERGYMEN

From The Daily Item, Sept. 27.
The regular fall conference Of the
Mtthodist clergy of Sumter district
was held yesterday, with the Rev.
Mr.. H. B. Browne, as presiding elder.
This conference holds semi-annual
sessions. one in the spring aad one
in the autumn, for discussing affairs
in the district and outlining work for
the coming six months.
The meeting yesterday was oc-
cupied largely with routine. Crurch
matters in the district were reported
on fayorably. Finances, however, are
not as prosperous as could be wished,
owing to the disastrous condition OF
crops throughout this section. The
effect of this shortage has bee that
benevolent contributions are slower
in coming in than usual, and mission
ary subscriptions are in arrears
Those present were the Rev. Mr.
H. 3. Browne, presiding elder, and
the Rev. Messrs. C. C. Herbert, OF
Camden; S. H. Booth, Of Smithville;
