Suit of Trust Against Independents
Concern for Breach of Contract Put
OF.

Newark, n. j., Nov. 27.-rhe suit
of the American Tobacco Company
against r. P. Richardson, Jr., e. Co., of
North Carolina, to compel the transfer
of the stock Of the defendant COM
Iony to the American Tobacco Cont
pany in compliance with an alleged
agreement, has been indefinitely con-
tinued. The suit was to have come
to trial in the chancery court next
Wednesday. Today, however, counsel
for the Richardson Company asked
Vice Chancellor Howell for the post
ponement OF the trial on the ground
that the suit could not be decided un-
til after the United States court had
decided the pending suit Of the gov
ernment against the American Tobac-
co Company.
Counsel for the American Tobacco
Company asked that the issue of fraud
raised by the Richardson Company be
tried, regardless Of the government
suit. The request was denied and the
postponement ordered.

Coroner Flowers stated that he took
possession Of the pistol, which had
not been touched until his arrival, and
that he found it fully loaded except
that one cartridge had been discharg-
ed.
The jury rendered the following
verdict:
'W. A. McIlwaine came to his death
from a wound from a pistol ball, in
fected by his own hand"
Everything indicates that the sui
eide was carefully premeditated, but
so far as has been ascertained Mr.. Nc
Ilwaine left no written statement. No
cause Is known as there was no rea-
son for self destruction. He had been
in bad health for some time and con-
stant broOding over his physical con-
dition had probably unsettled his rea-
son.
Mr.. McIwaine was in his forty
eighth year and had lived in this city
from early youth, his father, the late
Capt. ]. d. McIwaine having removed
to this city from Lancaster county in

mOrrOw--Itinerary of Vessels.

Manila, Nov. 29.-With the depart
ure from Manila, Dec. /, of the Amer
lean battleship fleet under the COM
mand OF Rear Admiral Sperry, the 16
vessels that are making such a re-
markable d-the-world voyage
turn their prows definitely for home
waters. They have been gone from
Hampton Roads nearly year. If the
record established up to the present
time is maintained the fleet will re-
turn home without serious accident
or mishap of any kind. It's progress
has been watched by foreign govern
ments with deep interest.
The officers and men Of the feet on
this trip around the world have been
lavishly entertained at every port they
touched. In Australian waters the
Americans were greeted by men 21
their own race; in Japan and in China
they saw the splendors Of the Orient
| and in the Mediterranean southern
Europe will turn out to do them
honor.
After clearing Manila bay the 1f
battleships will head for Colombo
Ceylon, where they are due in tive
weeks. They will stay there for 81,

PETITION TO ADVANCE THE DIS
PENSARY CASE.
Attorney General Lyon Appears Be-
fore United States Supreme Court
I'm Effort to Reverse Decision.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Attorney
General Lyon today, in the name IF
the State Of South Carolina, asked the
supreme court of the United States to
grant a writ of certiorari so that the
supreme court might review the de-
cision of the circuit court of appeals
which sustained Judge Pritchard's or
der that the dispensary funds must be
turned over to the receivers.
The petition is based upon the claim
Of error by the circuit court of ap-
peals and the request is made for an
immediate hearing on the ground that
there Is a conflict between the supreme
court of State and federal court.
There are something like 400 cases
on the supreme courts calendar ahead
Of the dispensary case, so that unless,
for the reason stated in the petition,
the case is advanced and given an i'm
mediate hearing it would not likely
come up before some time next sum-
mer or even later.
Attorneys T. Moultrie Mordecal and
Frank Carter appeared, representing
the Wilson Distilling company, and
| George B. Lester appeared as coun-
sci for the Fleischman company.
If the supreme court decided to ad-
vance the case and grant the imme-
diate hearing, it is expected that the
two distilling companies will ask fol-
an increase of the record ir at least
one case, the Ray case, the claim be-
ing that the record does not contain
sufficient facts concerning the pro-
ceedings Of the original fedora. cour1
which assumed jurisdiction to pass up
the questions involved. They will
claim, it is thought, that proceedings
are now pending before Judge Pritch
ard to attach the Ray brothers fol
: contempt of court in instituting thu
mandamus case in the supreme cour
/ OF South Carolina. If Judge Pritchart
should attach the Rays for contemp
: they may appeal to the United State
, supreme court for habeas corpus am
= 80 bring up the question Of jurisdiction
t in that way.

NEGRO BOY KILLED.
James Zuell Shot Friday Afternoon
by Willie johnson.

James Zuell, negro boy about
twelve or thirteen years old, son of
Dave Zuell, was shot and almost in
stantly killed Friday afternoon
about o'clock by Willie Johnson, a
negro boy Of the same age. The shoot
ing occurred on the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad track near Turkey creek,
while the boys were returning from
hunting. The entire load of bird shot
entered Zuell's left side just below the
heart. The shooting was witnessed by
another negro boy who could not be
found to testify before jury Of inquest
and Carson Phillips and Julius Coop
er, white. The two white boys testi-
fed at the inquest, but as they were
short distance ahead Of the negroes
they could give no definite infOrma-
ton relative to the manner in which
the shooting occurred. They said they
saw the shooting, that the Johnson
boy had the gun in his hands when it
was discharged, and that he ran to
Zuell and put his arm around him and
then carried him from the track to
the bank. They said that Johnson said
the gun had been discharged and he
did not know Zuell was shot until he
started to fall. They left Johnson with
zuell when they left to tell some one
about the shooting.
| The Johnson boy evidently became
frightened when a crowd began to col
lect for he left the scene and has not
yet been located by the police.
The verdict Of the jury was that
James Zuell came to his death from
a gun-shot wound at the hands OF
Willie Johnson.
Coroner Flowers has issued a war
rant for Willie Johnson and he will
be arrested if he has not fled the coun.
try as other alleged murderers have
done. 1t is probable that the killing
Of the boy was an accident. but hi
flight will make it harder for him t
steblish his innocence.

The display of fireworks at the Ba

The display OF fireworks at the Ball
Park last week attracted one Of the
largest crowds that has ever assem-
bied In that enclosure. The attend
ance is estimated to- have been be-
tween twelve and fifteen hundred to
say nothing OF the hundreds that View
cd the exhibition from points OF van
tage from without the enclosure. The
advertised programme was fully car
ried out and the display was without
doubt most elaborate and the finest sx-
hibition OF pyrotechnics ever given In
Sumter. Those who had witnessed
one OF Paine's elaborate fireworks dis
plays at Coney Island or elsewhere,
were Of course inclined to be hyper
critical and belittle the affair last
week. but the majority of the large
crowd took a reasonable view Of the
matter and were we'll pleased with
the very creditable show that was
pulled of.

TRADE STILL IMUROVING.
Army of Unemployed Rapidly Dimin-
ishing-Shoe Leather High.

New York, Nov. 27.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
Although the holiday and unseason-
able weather handicapped business
this week, further, substantial prog
ress was made toward normal COM
merc'al activity, especially in respect
to the number of wlge learners en-
ployed in the leading industries. Mills
that have been closed for over a year
are reopening and many plants that
were on part time or froce are now sn
full operation. Recovery is making
remarkable strides, and almost every
comparison with conditions a year ago
provides reason for the day devoted
to grateful recognition.
One Of the best features Of the week
was the demand for railway suppl. es.
Steel rails were ordered moderately
| and many leading roads are ready to
| operate If the mills will roll according
| to special schedules at standard prices.
Strength is maintained in the pri-
mary markets for textiles, although
cotton goods are little less active on
account of the firm position Of produce
ers. Buyers propositions naming con-
cessions from regular quotations are
rejected promptly. A little increase in
sales of the standard drills to India is
the only development in the export
department, the decline in price of sill
yer postponing the expected improve
ment in demand from China, while
Red Sea buyers refuse to advance bids
to current figures. Woollens are grad
ually gaining, despite the high temper
ature. Staple goods for the next heavy
weight season are about to be shown,
but fancy offerings will be deferred A
few lines Of dress goods for the spring
trade have sold freely, notably satin
faced fabrics.
Prices threaten to be disturbing
element if the rise in leather is not
checked, shoe houses being near the
point at which no profit can be made
Most factories have all the leather
needed for the present, but tanners
are rejecting duplicate orders at form
er terms.

/ will further say that I was called
to Mr.. McIlwaine's house on yester-
day afternoon by his wife, who then
seemed to be in great trouble on ac-
count of his recent peculiar behavior
and especially the unusual way in
which he had left his home in the
morning. For week or two she said
that he had been uncontrolably de-
pressed and for no reason that she
knew Of. He frequently referred to
his approaching death which he said
was quite near. though he did not in
Innate anything like suicide. On Tues
day evening he tried to instruct her
with regard to the management Of his
affairs after his death, and was very
particular to have receipts for all his
icies. etc., which at the time she pre-
tended to regard as fOolishness but
which really alarmed her. On yester-
day morning he walked off without
telling any OF the family where he was
going, thing he had never done be-
| fore and on examination of his ROOM
she found that he had left his watch
his keys, the change he had in his
pocket and had taken his pistol. This
alarmed her greatly. / communicates
| these facts to officer McKagen who
| thought like myself that nothing
could be done. 1t is likely that or
leaving his home on yesterday morn
ing he went straight to the place
where the body was found and ther
and there inflicted the death wound

by deficient water pressure. They had
several streams on the fire. but as the
water barely reached the roof. the
fight was not effective. 1t was not
until q line of hose from Main street
was taken up to the third floor Of the
main building and through window
into the gable Of the wing. where a
fight was made at ofose quarters be-
tween the ceiling and roof. that the
fire was gotten under control.
The damage to the building Is esti-
mated by an insurance agent to be
between $1,000 and $500. and about
$500 TO $500 on furniture. The los:
is covered by insurance.
