His Hour of

BY SIDNEY AYRES

1t was an interstate contest and L..
900 spectators had assembled to wit
ness the foot race, the long jump, the
high jump, the throwing of the ham
mer and other feats of agility and
strength. Among them were Edith
Lawson and Isabel DAVIS, who had ar
rived upon the grounds escorted by
Edith's brother Dick, but he had left
them to speak to one of the athletes
and had disappeared. This incident
had put the usually smiling and amla-
BILE Edith out Of temper, and long be-
fore the first trial on the programme
had been called she was In a captious
mood and wishing she had not come.
Miss DAVIS, on the contrary, was all
enthusiasm and anticipation, and her
exclamatlons finally brought forth the
remark from Edith:
what stupid thing to waste our
time over. These so called athletes

why Some Countries Are Uninhabited

A mere glance at our maps impresses
a few general facts upon us. We see
that the largest areas of the unknown
are now in lands that are too dry, as in
the Sahara, the desert Of Arabia, and
the steppes Of Mongolia; lands that are
too wet and hot, stimulating almost i'm.
penetrable forest growths, as in parts
Of the Amazon and Kongo basins;
lands that are too cold and bleak, as
portions Of the northern areas Of Amer
lea and Asia. Even the characteristics
Of the Inhabitants influence the extent
Of the unexplored. In proportion to to-
tai area there is more unknown surface
In Liberia than In any other political
subdivision Of the world, because the
Liberlans, content to live along the
coast, have scarcely entered their vast
forest maze, though they teen with
rubber and other resources.--CyrusC @.

MILLS OF JUSTICE IN
WHIRL AT THE TEMPLE
Session of Court Begins
Monday.

With Judge z. A. Littlejohn pres
iding, and Solicitor General Hooper
representing interests of the State,
the November term of Sumter super
ior court began yesterday. The bus
mess at this term is lighter than in
several years and the session, there
fore, may not be very lengthy one,
possibly consuming not more than
ten days, or two weeks at best.
The grand jury was organized with
Mr.. G.. NJ Eldridge as foreman. This
grand jury is one of the best that has
ever served the county, and is made
up of the following well known citi-
zens of town and county:
G. M. Eldridge, j. j. Wilson, w. X,
Bell, w. M. McMath, G.. d. Hayes, r.
R. Stewart, ]. P. Cannon, A. B. Con-
nors, G. w. Riley, C. A. Chambliss,
j. l.. Johnson, II. c. Mitchell, John
Sheffield, J. S. Johnson, John Sims,
G. E. Buchanan, T. Wheatley, G. N.
Griffin, j. H. Daniel, H. L. Mize, d. M.
Borum, ]. ]. Dupree, j. L. Sparks.
The charge of the court to the grand
jury was clear and forceful, as are
all charges delivered by Judge Little
john
After explaining fully their duties
as jurors, regarding the investigation
of affairs of the county and of the
various crimes presented, the court
charged especially upon violation of
the liquor laws, even as applied to So
cial clubs, where intoxicants are
dispensed to minors. This feature of
the charge was listened to with more
than usual interest by the jury and
spectators.
Judge Littlejohn also touched upon
the fragrant violation of the game
laws in the county and instructed the
grand jury to investigate such charges
and indict the violators of the law.
This applies to the dynamiting of
streams by pot fishermen, which it is
said to have been done here to great
extent in recent years.
After the grand jury had proceeded
to business Judge Littlejohn entered
upon the trial OF civil cases, and the
entire week will be devoted thereto
The civil docket is very light one
none of the cases entered thereupon
being of great interest, and those
ready for trial will be disposed Of in a
few days.
The criminal docket will be taken
up next Monday, December /.

COTTON MADE ONLY
SLIGHT CHANGES
Sales Locally on Basis
Quotations and Higher.

In the morning the cotton market
held up we'll yesterday, registering an
advance over the close for Saturday
but in the afternoon values eased
off under heavy liquidation, the SEES
sion closing with small net losses at
New York and about an even break
at New Orleans. The opening was
boosted by a sharp advance by Liver
pool and a small additional gain
was made little later. Fluctuations
were irregular and as the session
drew to a close profit-taking became
more free. The demand from shorts
for covering was little in evidence. In
terest centers in the Government estl-
mate on Dec. 8. 1t is claimed that
this will be quite bullish.
New York opened 4 to IL points
higher After some narrow changes
values reached an advance OF to
points over the opening, but the entire
gain was later swept away, the close
being steady, to 5 points net lower
for the day. Spot.prices were unchang-
ed. New Orleans opened 3 to points
higher and a little later had advanced
still further Realizing in the after
noon caused a break. The close was
steady, unchanged to l point lower, as
compared with the close for Saturday.
Spot quotations were advanced 1-16c.
Liverpool opened 8 to II points
higher and closed 10 to 10 IL points
above Saturdays final. Spot prices
were advanced 10 points, with sales
of 5000 bales.
The total receipts at ports for the
day were $4,000 bales, against $4,000
last year, of which Galveston got
14,769, New Orleans 1906 and Saw
annah 1855. The following are the
estimates for today: Houston $4,000
against 34,14S last year; New Or
leans, $4,000 against 1886; Calves
ton 10000 against 1915.
In the local spot market sales were
made on a basis of 10 SIS and also
of 10 ga cents for good middling. All
offerings were in demand. 1t was said
that the best orders in the market
were those at the lower price, and
the bulk of the sales were at the in
side figures named. Quotations are
revised from Saturday, low middling
being reduced Is of cent. The
receipts for the day by wagon were

PARADE OF THE BABIES
TAKES PLACE TODAY
Great Event to Start at
3 O'clock.

AS the average family baby is the
eyeopener and general early morning
alarm for the home, it is but mete
and proper that the great bazaar which
begins today should open its doors to
the dulcet COO of hundred babies at
tuned in perfect hormary For the
"baby show is really the opening
feature, and this pink toed and milk
bottled event is scheduled for 3
O'Clock this afternoon. Many names
have beeen sent in already to the
committee of ladies in charge, Mrs.
George w. Bacot and Mrs Crawford
Wheatley, and other entries can be
made up to the opening hour. Owing
to the Indictment weather the past
week these ladies found it impossible
to go out and extend invitation to
mothers to send their babies to the
show, and thus again invite all to do
SO. Thirty or forty names have been
sent in alEeady, and it is expected
that the total will reach fifty or a
hundred by the opening hour, three
o'clock. Each infantile bundle of
loneliness will pay ten cents for the
privilege of thus getting niche in
the hall of fame, while the admission
to the public is the same. A great
audience will thus cheer these bellies
and beaux of the future this after
noon

CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-In response
to the advance in Liverpool our mar
ket opened several points up, the adj
vance however was short-lived and
the market though dull, sold several
points below the close Saturday at
which point the profession scalpers
again entered the market and boost
ed" prices above Saturdays close. The
next important estimate will be pub
lished by the government on Deem
Der Bird, and whatever this report
may show, and while anything over
or under the general expectation will
cause temporary fluctuations, the
general course of the market for the
next couple of months will depend
upon the attitude of the spinners and
farmers as to the marketing of the
balance of the crop, whatever the size
may be. Under the circumstances, it
seems that the chances for bull
movement are vague and we prefer
to sell on all hard spots, which in the
end will undoubtedly prove the most
profitable.

TT PAYS no DRESS WE'LL
Young Men of Good Judgment Know
This Today, and Know How TO
without Being "Dudes."

The day Of dudes has long since
passed and the young men of today
aim to dress well and in style because
1t pays, and not because they want
to he "dudish."
This condition has largely been
brought about by such manufacturers
of young mems clothes as Ederheimer,
Stein & Co, of Chicago. This firm
has kept pace with advance ideas of
young men of this generation; their
large business has been built up ev-
erywhere in this country by meeting
the demand of young men for mod
ish. strictly up-to-date style effects;
and these things are features in the
suits and overcoats especially de-
signed for young men.
The safest way for any young man
to be sure that his clothes are of the
latest fashion in cut and material and
expert tailoring is to go to dealers
handling these famous young mems
clothes and choose just the garments
which best suit his taste and appear
