PROF. WILBUR S. SCHUMACHER

Miss DeVoll, the regular leader of
the Columbia orchestra, was taken
i'll Thursday evening and was unable
to be at the theatre. Prof. Wilbur S.
Schumacher of Sumter was here
spending the holidays, and Manager
Brown was very fortunate to secure
him to lead. Last night Miss DeVoll
was still unable to be present and
Prof Schumacher again led. The
musical numbers were all carefully
selected and went with a dash ard
verve that was commented upon
freely.
Prof. Schumacher is one of rhe
finest instrumentalists in the country,
both with cornet and with violin, and
it is hoped that when the Columbia
Concert band begins to give its, open
air concerts this summer they will
have Mr. Schumacher to come over
as soloist. His own violin compost

former non-church goers they have

churches, even from Jewish syna-

The offhand and no doubt the main
explanation of the vitality of the new
faith is the appeal Z makes through

institution Of class in healiag'
by the Emanuel Episcopal Church IN
Boston, bears interesting testimony 70
the present recognition of this prin-
ciple by other communions.
But beyond this fundamental doc

thought to be gaining at the expense

BSak of Sumter Statement.

The statement of the Bank of Sum-
ter, published today, is another evi-
dence of the continued growth and
prosperity of the city. The undivided
profit account shows that the bank
now has surplus Of more than so
per cent. Of the capital stock, and Of
this amount $4,000 has been earned
during the present year, in addition to
the regular semi-annual dividends.
The bank maintains it's usual large
deposits, and by conservative, yet lib
eral, management grows in strength
and popularity each year. The call
was for a statement Of the condition
on Dec. goth, which happened to be
inopportune for the Bank Of Sumter,
in that on that day the deposits we're
$4,000 less than on the previous day,
and $4,000 less than on the day fol-
lowing. Two days after the state
ment the bills payable account was
reduced by half. While the state
ment shows the bank to be in excel
lent condition, yet good as the show
ing is, the banks condition is really
much better, as will be revealed by
the annual statement to be issued next
week.

some interesting and valuable infor-

corn to the same extent in the north

pointed out that there csrn had a low

sbout one per cent. of nitrogen, while
southern corn had from $50 to per
cent, or about equal in amount to
she best wheat.
He called attention to the fact Of
record that a race horse, raised in
Bas1weu and fed on corn. had gone

30 miles the same day, in successive
heats; and that on account OF the

ORDINATION OF a PRIEST.
John Kershaw, Jr., Raised to Priest
hood by Bishop Capers.

Charleston, Dec. 31.-The service
at ST. Michael's church yesterday
morning was Of unusual interest, the
Rev. John Kershaw, Jr., son of the
Rev. John Kershaw, D. D., rector of
st. Michael's, being ordained priest
Of the Episcopal church. After an
eloquent sermon, preached by the
Rev. John Johnson, D. D., the regu-
lar ordination service was read by
Bishop Ellison Capers, in most i'm
pressive manner, and the whole con-
gregation responded most sympathet-
ically. The musical portion Of the
service, under the direction Of Mrs.
Wragg. organist, was beautiful and
appropriate.
Bishop Capers took occasion to
commend the Rev. Mr.. Kershaw, Jr,
on the course he was pursuing, re-
minding him that his father has Won
the love of all the people by his no.
bic Christian example and that his
grandfather was Christian gentleman
and a distinguished soldier. He spoke
in fatherly way, showing his deep
sympathy and love. He said that as
grain of corn had TO be buried in
the earth and die before it brought
forth other fruit, so minister Of
Christ had to sacrifice himself in or
Ger to minister unto others; and that
if the Rev. Mr.. Kershaw, Jr., were to
succeed in his work he must carry oat

The Editorial pass.

With the beginning OF the present
year all the editorial transportat on
ISSUED to the newspapers by the rail-
roads was cut off. and it was an
nounced that hereafter the business
would be on a purely cash basis. The
reason given for this change of policy
was the passage of the rate bill by
the last congress, which prohibits the
issuance OF free transportation except
to employees and officers. While the
railroads admitted that the law did
not apply to the issuance OF state
transportation. tney stated that ii vas
considered best, in view Of the fact
that such Transportation might POSSIBLY
be used i'll interstate Journeys, to
cease issuing state passes entirely
Thi, strong desire OF the railroads
to obey the spirit and the letter of
the law is commendable, and The
newspapers are ready to accept the
new conditions in the proper spirit
says Lamar Sparks. But the an
nouncement that comes from Topeka
TO the effect that all the Statesmen
and he tinforn politicians have been
giaddencd by the recei OF their
state ANNALS for 1907 comes in the
nature OF a shock. 1t makes it evil
dent that the newspapers as a class
are being deliberately Disseminated
against by the railroads for reasons
OF their own. 1t may be as a pun
ishment for their support OF TIE new
rate law. or as club to make them
do certain things in the future
The reference to newspaper trans
portation as passes is pleasant
fctio;i. Not only in direct advertis-
ing for the railroads. but in building
mp their business By boosting the
counties where they are published,
the newspapers give full value re-
ceived at the rate OF dollar a mile
Tor every journey the editor makes

the same sense that the ti-horn poll

while continuing the ia sors shown to
