remedy rs many as possible of the
abuses and shortcomings for which
there really are remedies, and for
which remedial laws are demanded by
the shipping public.
The admirable national legislation
or recent years, in taking away from
the railroads the power of giving It..
legal favor, has taken away from them
one Of the Legitimate methods by
which they used TO protect themselves
from improper attack; and 1t Is there.
fore necessary that upright public ser.
wants should be rs vigilant to protect
them against harm MS 10 prevent them
from doing harm. Undoubtedly many
high officers among the railroad men
have followed the extremely nnwlse
course Of endeavoring to defeat the
enactment of proper laws for their
own control, ana Of endeayoring 10
thwart, obstrnct, and bring into dis.
credit the administrator of the laws.
But the folly Of some Of their mum.
Der In no way alters our duty, nor the
wisdom Of performing this duty in a
spirit Of absolute justice alike to the
railroad, the shipper, and the general
public.
Finally, friends let us never forget
that this Is not merely a matter Of
business but also a matter Of morals.
The success Of our whole system OF
government depends upon our discrIm.
mating between men, not with refer.
ence TO whether they are rich or poor,
whether they follow one occupation
or another, but with reference solely
TO whether they act as honest and I'D.
right citizens should act. Let the 10.

TO appear before the National or any
State legislature let their names be

THE RACE TRACK.
Completing Preparations for the First
Meet.

The last work toward completing
the new race track was begun Tuesday
morning when Surveyor Noise COM
nenced a resurvey Of the track for
the purpose Of double railing it, di-
viding the course proper from the
tence and also the exterior grounds.
AS soon as this is completed the
track will be in apple-pie order for
the first meet, which will occur early
in March.
The management Of the Sumter
Turf Exchange say that the horses
that have been in training at their
stables are all ready for the races.
These horses are from the best stock
in the country and some Of them have
already become famous winners on
tracks in this State. The initial meet
of the exchange promises to be up to
the standard and will doubtless at
tract many visitors to the city.

RECORDERS COURT.
One Vagrant Sent to the Changing
and Two Fighters Pay for Their
Fun.

In Recorders court Wednesday, the
case of Shadrach Vaughn for vagran-
cy continued from yesterday was re-
sumed. Shadrach got 80 days on the
gang.
Vinson Wilder and Moses Jamisoo,
two negro boys, had a fight on Main
street Tuesday afternoon. Vinson was
fined So or 6 days, and Moses got 81
or 4 days.
The following cases were disposed
of in the Recorders court Monday:
John DeLeon, disturbing the peace;
fined 50 or four days. The fine was
paid.
Hicks Carson on Saturday night
entertained an audience at the At
lantic Coast Line depot. AS comic
popular song vocalist and parodist
Hicks ''has 'em all skinned" but on
this occasion his parodies were vul-
gar and obscene and the judge
thought if he was not abusing his tai
ent, he certainly was violating a city
ordinance. Carson was fined S.,
which he paid.
The docket Of the Recorders court
was composed of three trivial cases,
which We're hadled with dispatch
and strictly on a cash basis.
Harvin Thomas had violated an
ordinance relating to hacknlen, and
pleaded guilty. He was fined 81.
Moses Minser, Jr, was up for rid
ing a bicycle on forbidden sidewalks.
He passed over 50 for his first Of
fence.
Frank Edmunds was charged with
public drunkenness, disturbing the
peace and cursing. The evidence did
not suhstantiate all Of the charges,
and Frank only had to pay So for his
little fun.

THE DISPENsARY CLOSED.
At 1855 This Morning County Dis
penser Wndham Shut the Doors in
Face Of EAGER Customers.

At 1855 This Morning County Dis
penser Windham Shut the Doors in
Face Of Eager Customers.
There was much discussion Monday
morning when the morning daily pa
pers, containing what was construed
as an official executive proclamation
ordering the close of all local dispen-
saries, were circulated in the city.
The Board Of Control at once
sought the legal advice Of some of the
most eminent and able attorneys of
the Sumter bar, who gave as an opin-
ion that the Board, nor the local dis
penser, had authority to acr in the
matter upon any statement pur-
porting to be an official doc
ument given by any newspaper as
merely news matter. Upon this
counsel the Board advised that the
dispensary remain open until an off,
cial notification to close was
received through the regular
channel. However, later the
board was advised by Hon. T. B.
Fraser, to close the dispensary in view
of the signed proclamation of Gov.
Ansel published in the News and Cou-
rier. A majority did not concur with
Mr.. Fraser in this opinion, but to
avoid complications the Board deem
ed it wise to act upon his advice.
When the order to close was given
at 1156. many who seemed to think
that it was the last chance
lay in supply, but the click
click Of the lock from within revrbu-
rated the proverbial, "too late" and
the concourse of anxious purchasers
turned away with detected counte-
nances But across the street the
picture was entirely of different
cast. The wiser ones, who tarried
not when the first alarm was sound
ed, with arms full paraded down
Main street with light tread and
beaming smile.

Letter to T. b. Grier,
Sumter, S. c.

Dear Sir: If you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd have
a pretty good business, wouldn't YOU?
We have just such business as
that in paint; a gallon goes further
than any other gallon Of paint in the
country-thats bread at less cost by
the day; but the difference isn't so
small as it is in bread. And a job
wears longer-that's bread at less
cost by the year. People hate to
paint; and they hate the fuss. They
like our bread by the year
If your bread is better than any
body-else's. and costs less too. you've
got good trade; for the people like
good bread and people like money.
1t doesn't take long to find out; give
'em time.
But you can't bake better-than-any
body-else's bread for half the usual
price for a breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that.
The price by the gallon or loaf is no
matter. Count by the day week
month year lifetime. Devoe is the
bread. We hope yours is as good.
Yours truly
"a Fw DEvOE & co
P. S. Durant Hardware Co. sell

Mr.. M. B. Witherspoon died at 2
o'clock Sunday morning at his home

only four days. He attended the
mass meeting in the Court House
Tuesday night, and was then appa-
rently as we'll as usual. After the ad-
the street talking to a friend for a
half hour or longer, and it is thought
that he thus contracted the cold that
developed into pneumonia. Between
then and - o'clock he was seized
with a chill and was desperately i'll
from the first, and grew rapidly worse
until death relieved him Of suffering
Sunday morning.
The funeral, which was held from
the residence at 4 o'clock p. M, was
conducted by DR.. C. c. Brown, and
the interment at Sumter cemetery,
where he was laid to rest, with full
Woodmen honors, was under the di-
rection of Hollywood Camp, Wood
men of the World. There was a very
large attendance. which attested TO
the popularity of the deceased in
this community.
Mr.. Witherspoon was a native of
Darlington county, and was 3S years
old. He came to this city about y
years ago. and, with his brother, E. L.
Witherspoon, established the firm Of
Witherspoon Bros, from which has
grown the Witherspoon Bros. & co.
coffin factory and the Sumter Coffin
& Cashet Co., which are among the
most successful manufacturing en-
terprises in the State. He was a sue
cessful business man and an enter
prising citizen, whose death is q loss
to the community.
He is survived by his. wife and
three children, the eldest OF whom is
only six years old.
