This-Alps Well at College
Seat-Peace in Sumter.
1t cannot be denied that, at the
first mention Of the building of a ne
gro college on the Lyon property on
the northern suburb of Sumter, there
was some commotion among the white
people, arising largely from a miSun-
derstanding on the part OF some. and
from positive opposition On the part
of others, most of whom lived, as
am informed. in the section of the
city nearest to the proposed school.
For month, and since my return
from a summer vacation, I have not
heard the subject mentioned as a
topic OF conversation, and I am led to
believe the opposition was not deep
seated in the breast of many persons.
The threat of violence was a casual
remark. made by one who was far
from contemplating any such thing.
as he himself explained to me soon
after making 1T. In fact, it was SIM
ply a sharp answer given to one who
was defending the sale Of the Ligon

FINED s2O AND COSTS
For Keeping Saloon Open After
 12 O'Clock.

The continued cases against Nlicll- ael J. Drury for keeping his saloon on East Main street open last Thurs day morning at 12:l5; and against Robert Montgomery and Jeremiah Ryan for being on the premises at unlawful hours were heard by Judge Burpee in the city court to-day. The accused were defended by Attorney Kelley. Officer Robert F. lNlersted. who brought the cases testified. that on Thursday morning last at the time stated above he was passing by the saloon when he saw Drury and the two men inside. He rapped on the window and no attention was paid to him. He then went around to the side door and saw the two men coming out. He pushed his way in because the door was held against him. He saw two ''schoon- ers'' on the table near by. He said he was called names two or three times and that he used the saloon telephone to call for the police patrol. No one said anything to him about either of the two men being ill.
 Montgomery. who said he has been employed in the spelter casting de partment of the Scovill Manufactur- ing company's plant stated he Was taken ill with cramps peculiar to men engaged in his business, and that his friend Ryan helped him out of the shop ito get something They were passing along by Drury's when they saw the proprietor inside. He ignored their rap on the front door and they went around to the back. There they told him of Montgomery's illness. He said it was against the law to allow the place open. but they insisted on getting something for Montgomery illness and he seeing the man was ill got him a hot drink. As they were going out the officer pushed his way in and told them they were un- der arrest. Neither Ryan nor Mont gomery said they heard Drury call the officer any vile names or abuse him in any manner. Ryan has been employed by the Scovill company nine years. James Lynch, foreman of the casting department testified that Montgomery is subject to violent at Jacks of "spelter cramps
 In disposing of the case Judge Burpee said Drury's act was vioia- ton of the law but under the circum- stances he would be inclined to im- pose a minimum fine. had he not abused the officer. His kind act was offset by that and he accordingly ini- posed fine of S20 and costs and in the cases of tue two men SI and costs each. An appeal was taken to the district court in each of the three eases.

WALKERS VS CITY
An Opinion Given By Judge Case
 on the Matter.

After long consideration decision has been reached In the suit of Rob ert Walker and wife against the city of Waterbury and the Hellmann Brewing company for damages of $1,50O. The Walkers claimed their cellar was flooded by surface water because the city changed the course of natural stream known as Brew was interested in the matter as CO., defendant inasmuch as certain opera tions at the brewery caused q large quantity of water to flow onto the street. The Hellmann company ask ed to have its portion of damages named separately in case the court found for the plaintiffs. In his men- orandum Judge William s. Case inti mates that the end of the matter is not yet reached for lie says:
 ''To simplify possible future pro ceeding, it may be understood that I find the plaintiff to have suffered damage by reason of the flooding of the cellar at the time, and to the amount claimed. After a review of the evidence--which of course in cludes that disclosed by view of the premises and of the adjacent terri tory-and considering the character and extent of the rainfall involved, the issues are found for the defend ants and judgment is so directed. As no one can be held responsible for the excessive rainfall, no damages can be collected on this decision.

 What is your estimate of President Rooseveltr" was asked.
 What Is my estimate of Theodore Roosevelty" he repeated. Well, I have known him since he was a toddler so high"
 He bent his six feet three to indicate the height of a two-year-old child.
 Boy and man." he continued. ''Theo. dore Roosevelt has been unsteady, but always well meaning"
 Has his administration met with your approval?"
 Not wholly. He has in too marked a degree the characteristic of all the Roosevelts. The fable of Jupiter and the packs illustrates what I mean.
 "You will remember that the god di- vided the burdens of too important mortal. In front Of the man he sus- pended a basket. in which he placed the faults of all other men. Tn a knap- sack upon the mans shoulders he placed the mans own faults.
 So it is with the president. He can see the faults ot every one else. but none of his own"
 Even with the faults you have named is he not the best man for the pre~idencyT
 ~No: I know others just as well meaning. just as brave. who have more discretion. who are far more steady and reliable"
