Young Electrician Meets Horrible
Death.


AT Sumter Mr.. Ernest l.. Wicker,
electrician OF the Sumter Ice, Light
and Power company. was instan ~
killed about $3.50 O'Clock Wednes-
day by coming in contact with a live
wire, while at work on the line at
the corner OF Main and Liberty
streets.
Mr.. Wicker and Dave Lawrence, his
assistant lineman, were at work on
the big pole at the Chandler ClothinS
company corner, putting in a couple
of new transformers and had almost
finished making the connection when
the accident occurred. They were
seated on the cross bars about twenty
feet from the ground.
Mr.. Wicker having on a safety
belt with which he had strapped him
self to the pole. The work was al
most finished and Lawrence says he
and Wicker received a shock at the
same instant as each cut Il wire on
opposite sides of the pole.
The terrible force of the shock
threw Lawrence violently against the
pole, causing a severe bruisc on his
~forehcad but fortunately for him
contact with the wire was broken
when he received the shock.
Mr.. Wicker remained in contact
with the wire and Lawrence grabbed
him by the sleeve and jcrkcd his
hand loose from the wirc but h fell
face forward acroSS n bar amonE the
wires and although Lawrence made
frantic forts to push him from the
wires with a stick the attempt was
futile and the unfortunate young man
hung there with a current of 500
volts strong ~pulsating through his
body for more than five minu.

Far from the busy haunts Of men.
Where little children came to play
Ana frolic in The shady glen,
All long ago ! sung with them
Tho songs their children sing to-

The meadow and the pastureland !;
In days ago its merry song
Made music; and again | stand
And listen to the meadow brook
Make music-and my heart grows

And am a boy with boys once

COTTON ADVANCED YESTERDAY
 ANDaBR0UGHT AT NINE CENTS
ssiu Very Little Spot Cotton offered
 at That Price.

Adverse cotton reports brought one advantage to the planters yesterday. quotations on spots climbed trihe. g cents being offered for the first time in several days. However. there was not much staple on hand to take ad- vantage of the price and local sales did not increase much over the general run of the last six or eight days. It is expected. however, that local sales will increase today and toward the latter part of the week. and possibly next week if the price holds.
 Futures also advanced trifie and this materially influenced the spot market. October contracts closed at I0.S5-6.

POLICEMAN ARRESTED
FOR BURGLARY

A. E. Anderson, the Merchants
policeman who was charged with
entering Jim Papais' cigar store
with pass key and who thereby
aroused the suspicion that it was
he who has committed small thefts
there, was arrested yesterday on a
charge Of burglary. Police Chief
Rice allowed him his liberty on his
own recognizance. The arrest fol-
lowed investigation by Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Webster
Supt. Stauffer Of the Merchants po-
lice stated this morning that he
desires the case given the fullest
investigation. He has faith in An
derson's honesty for the reason
that Anderson has had numerous
opportunities to enrich himself on
occasions when he found places
unlocked, safe doors open and
money in plain view when he was
on the rounds of his duties. He
carries the keys of the largest es-
adjustments in the city. Ander-
sons claim relative to the Greeks
cigar store is that he heard noise
inside and went in to investigate.
He will be arraigned this afternoon
before Justice Hinkle.

PINK EYE IN
CITY SCHOOL

What is the pink eye" and
how do you cure It? Also Is 1t con-
tagious and liable to afflict school
children with optics like white rab-
bits? The question came up in the
board of education meeting last
night on account OF a teacher who
had been out of school for awhile
because OF pink eye" She had
been locked Sc for the intermis-
sion and wanted her money back.
DR.. Allen, member Of the board,
but who believes the transactions
of that body to be matters of state
secret not to be mentioned out
loud. declares there Is nothing to
1t. In connection with school af-
fairs he didn't know pink eye"
from red eye," whether a child
was likely to contract 1t or any
thin gabout 1t. A suggestion that
parents might appreciate some
thing in the way of guarding
against a malady that keeps even
teachers out of school failed to
make a dent in the avoirdupois Of
the worthy member of the board.
But pink eye" Is bad enough from
the way the name looks to be
lodged. Nobody wants a pink
eyed young one running around, do
they! Possibly by paying the usual
admittance fee into the doctors
confidence something more in the
nature Of pink eye" information
might be forthcoming.
