CLOUD SHOT BY LAMAR:
WOUND A SERIOUS ONE
Officer Shot for Giving a
Reprimdnd.

Police officer Will Cloud, while on
duty near the Hotel Windsor corner
early last night was fired upon by
Nick Lamar and very seriously
wounded, Lamar's bullet cutting the
main artery in Clouds right arm
just above the elbow.
The shooting was a complete sur
prise to the policeman as he was
entirely unaware of - any intention
upon Lamar's part to do So
Much excitement, quite naturally
was occasioned by the affair.
Officer Cloud was assited to the
police barracks by Chief Feagin and
others who came to his rescue
where Doctors Statham and Grubbs
gave his wound attention, after which
he was carried home.
The wound is regarded as one of
no little gravity.
The main artery as stated, was
severed by the pistol ball of large
calibre, the wound bleeding profuse-
ly A stream of blood led to the
barracks from the point where Off
Ger Cloud was standing, just east of
the Windsor Hotel
Lamar was near Andersons bar
ber shop, probably fifty yards away,
when the shot was fired. That it did
not strike elsewhere as we'll seems
a miracle.
The bone in Clouds arm was not
shattered the bullet cutting through
the artery instead.
The statements OF bystanders were
to the effect that officer Cloud, in the
discharge of duty, had spoken to
Lamar relative to his alleged loud
talking on the strerts, which anger
ed the young man greatly.
When the officer passed ON. the
shooting resulted.
Chief Feagin three police Off
GERS and Deputy Sheriff Fuller found
Lamar later in the rear of the Byne
block or in that locality, and locked
him up where he will be confined
pending the result of Officer Clouds
injuries.
The wounded policeman suffered
great pain while his wound was being
dressed, and his injury is serious,
it is thought.

STOCKHOLDERS OF
CREAMERY MEET
Talk by ViCe-Pres. Williams,
of Chicago Firm.

Vice-President Dixon Williams, OF
the Chicago firm which put in the
machinery for the new creamery, gave
an inspiring talk last night at a
meeting of the stockholders of the
company at the City Hail. In addt-
ton to the stockholders, a number of
ladies and others interested in the
project were present
Mr.. Williams is a trained public
speaker, having at one time been on
the lecture platform and in the pull
pit. His health broke down and he
was offered a position with the ma
chinery company, and accepted His
talk last night was most interesting.
He spoke of the large number of
creameries in the Elgin, H., district,
and the fact that Elgin fixed the price
of butter the world over. The large
profits made by the farmers were
touched upon. Not only did the
stockholders furnish milk, but every
other farmer had his COWS and sent
in milk
The speaker declared that the South
was better place for creameries
than the north, and that cows in
this section were more prolific in
butter fat than in Illinois There
was more butter to the hundred
pounds of milk. Cotton seed meal
was declared one of the best OF
feeds. The Importance of the dairy
interests was touched on, the state
ment being made that there is more
capital invested in such enterprises
than there was in all the banks.
Two things were declared to be
absolutely essential to success and
two only. First, raw material must
be supplied, and second, good busi-
ness management must be given. 1t
was suggested under the last head
that able directors be selected, and
that they be given a free hand The
speaker did not attempt to conceal
the foct that failure could be made
of the Americas creamery. But he
pointed out the ways by which it
could be made an Overwhelming sue
cess. He said that he would take
to heart more a failure in Americus
than anywhere else that he knew of,
one reason being that his son had
organized the company.
AT the close of the talk, an invita-
ton was extended to all who desir-
ed to ask questions. A number or
pertinent inquiries were made, bear
ing on the operation and management
of the creamery. The information
brought out was of most vital impor-
tance to the stockholders, and many
important points were CLEANED from
the answers, which showed a thor
ough familiarity with every phase of
the business.
Following the question box, seven
directors were elected to have charge
of the creamery.
Mr. Williams has been in the dairy
business for quarter of century,
having large herd of COWS near
Nashville, Tenn, and was able to
give helpful answers in every in
stance.
The following directors were chos-
en-: j. c. Carter, J. W. Walker, S
H. Young, T. B. Hooks, F. w. Grif-
fin, Crawford Wheatley, c. c. Haw-
kins.
The new directors will meet at
9 o'clock this morning at the city
hall to elect officers

URGING COL. ". T. LANE
FOR MAYORS RACE
Friends of Popular AttOr.
ney Hopeful in Matter.

Friends of Col. w T. Lane are
urging him to enter the lists for
Mayor, and while nothing definite
has been announced, they are con-
fident that he will be in the race.
Some time in the near future it is
expected that the City Executive
Committee will call a primary which
will probably be held next month.
This will of course settle the matter,
unless some independent should
hold off from the primary and land
the plum in one hand fight The
regular election will be held late in
the year.
Col. Lane is a prominent member
of the local bar, and his friends claim
that he would make a splendid Mayor.
Whether there be few or many aspir-
ants for the honor, it is certain that
whoever has designs on the office
will find Col. Lane dangerous com

COUNTY HAS BOUGHT A
FINE PACK OF DOGS
.Pedigreed Pups Included in
the Lot.

The county commissioners of Sum-
ter purchased yesterday from Capt.
w. R. Paschal, former superinten-
dent of roads and convicts, his pack
of four track hounds, perhaps the
best dogs in this section of Georgia.
Two of the dogs are genuine blood
hounds, pedigreed stock, while the
others, although of plebian' lineage,
are the goods" all right when a flee
ing convict is to be brought back to
the stockade. One of the dogs, rear
ed in Texas, cost Capt. Paschal $107,
delivered here by express a year ago.
Recently committee from the board
of commissioners went out to the
camps here and witnessed a chase
which satisfied them thoroughly as
to the running qualities of the track
hounds Such dogs are a most valu-
able acquisition to any county in
tracking criminals and especially 60
to Sumter, with a half hundred con-
victs now in the chaingang.

.NINE-FOOT SHEETS
IN OKLAHOMA HOTELS.
Unique Law Which Has
Caused Much Chatting.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept "a
The Oklahoma nine-foot sheet is
coming into it's own The novel bill
requiring hotel keepers to furnish
every bed with linen of that length,
so that it would LAP over" was re-
ceived with derision when it first
passed the Legislature and became
a law. Widespread publicity was
given the statute because of its orig
inality. All sorts of puns were
poked at the new states lawmakers
by Eastern newspaper writer's. In
Oklahoma criticisms were not lacking
But the law remained on the statute
books, and measures have been taken
by inspectors, provided in the bill, to
see to it's enforcement.
These officials, who have just finish
ed an extensive tour of the state, re-
port that with very few exceptions,
the letter of the law is now being
obeyed, and in the hotels to which
it applies the sheets can now be
Tapped over by the longest patron
In numerous and remarkable ways
the meaning of the law is being
brought home to the landlords, not a
few of whom formerly were delin-
quent in complying with it.
Probably the most unusual method
of introducing the regulation sheets
was conceived and is now being car
ried out with great success by an en-
terprising st. Louis firm. The intro
duction is simple, at the same time US
ually successful An illustration of

THE CAKE PROVED
A GREAT SUCCESS
Majestic Range A Wonder
Cooking Choice Articles.

The large cake baked in the Ma
jestic Range at the store of the
Sheffield-Huntingto Co, yesterday
was all that was claimed for it in
advance. There were five layers,
with excellent jelly between, and
when completed and placed before
the assembled ladies it was as invit-
ing an article of food as could have
been desired.
A plank was placed upon it and
seven ladies induced to stand upon
the plank. Three of them tipped the
scales at 200 pounds or more each,
and they were given the posts OF
honor, one lady of generous proper
tions standing fairly and squarely
upon the face of the poor cake. The
cake slowly dwindled in size until
it had got down to the dimensions OF
a single layer. Satisfied with their
work the ladies stepped off and the
plank was withdrawn. Almost as
quickly as it had gone down in size
the cake rose up again. In a few
moments it was back to its original
figure and ready for eating. Slices
were cut and passed around and the
ladies present all attested that its
quality was perfect.
Coffee and fine biscuits were serv-
cd all dav IOno IN all ponnars This
will be the rule also today and to-
morrow A more delicious lunch
could not be had, as the coffee is OF
finest quality, the butter the best
the market affords, and the biscuits
made from the highest grade of flour
and served smoking hot. All are
invited to enjoy luncheon any time
today or tomorrow.

Origin of Oxtail Soup.
(New England Grocer.)

The now familiar oxtail soup is
said to have had its origin during the
Reign of Terror in Paris in 1898,
when many of the nobility were re-
duced to starvation and beggary. The
abattoirs sent their hides fresh to
the tanners without removing the
tails, and in cleaning them the tails
were thrown away. One day one of
the noble beggars, while happening
to pass a tannery, noticed a pile of
discarded tails, and asking for one it
was willingly given to him. He took
it to his lodgings and made what is
now famous-the first dish of oxtail
friends of the good luck he had had,
with the natural result that the tan
ners were soon annoyed to such an
extent by the demand for oxtails
that price was put upon them.

Sunday afternoon following Mr..
G. H. Polk went to the CONNER
cial Hotel Office, where Mr.. STAN
fill was sitting and asked him to
step outside, as he (Polk) desired
to have a talk with him. On the
sidewalk, Mr.. P. read the forego-
ing excerpt to MI. S., who denied
that it had any reference to the
county clerks assistant, Miss
O'Neal. After some further CON-
versation, Mr.. Polk asked the edi-
tor to so state in the next issue of
the paper, to which Mr.. S. replied
that he was running his paper, and
would run it to suit himself, or
words to that effect. This brought
on more talk, the lie was passed,
and Mr.. Polk struck the editor
once or twice in the face. Here
some bystanders interfered and
the parties were separated. Mr..
| Stanfll returned to the hotel Of
fee, and presently Mr.. Polk went
his way, too. The reader no doubt
will be puzzled to know what this
sentence means if it does not refer
to the Deputy County Clerk: "My
prediction is that the books will be
audited by the hireJing Of the pres
emit COURT mean Mis-audited, she is
Gvery companionabIe girl, you know."

declared that she "did not believe
that there was another town in the

community would not resent such
an insult" She, like Mr.. Polk,
and everybody else, for that mat
ter, mistook the EDITORS meaning,
according to what he now says.
