The new scenery for the opera
house has arrived and will be placed
in position at once. The order for
this scenery was placed by Manager
Ryttenberg several months ago, i'm
mediately after he secured the lease
but as the scenery had to be built to
order it is just now arriving. The
new outfit is complete in every detail
and the stage will now present more
attractive appearance than ever be-
fore. The new scenery has not arriv-
ed any too soon for the old scenery
has been in a bedraggled and dilapi-
dated condition for long time.

There are too many bicycle thieves
in Sumter. or it may be that a few
bicycle thieves are stealing a gooc
many wheels. Every few days th'
theft Of wheel is reported, and few
Of them are recovered and still fewer
Of the thieves are captured and pun
ished. If the thieves continue thei
operations it may be necessary fo
the wheel owners to chip in a dollal
or so each for the purpose of employ
ing a detective to ferret out tn,
thieves and put them on the chain

Simply an Outrage.

One night last week the train from
Sumter left the Bishopville coach on
the side track at Elliott, the conductor
thinking no doubt, that the Bishop
vile train would back in and take the
coach on to Bishopville. The Bishop
vile train had been sent as an extra
freight to Bishopville and did not get
back until II o'clock that night. There
the passengers, among whom were
several ladies, stayed in a car that
was not even lighted. Worst of all,
the 16 hour limit for a crew to work
had expired and it had to take hard
persuasion to get the engineer to take
the train on to Bishopville.
We make mention Of this in order
that we may call the attention of the
railroad authorities to this matter of
freight congestion. We think the au-
thorities do not realize the immense
freight traffic that is done at Bishop
VILE, or they certainly would make
better provisions for handling it and
not detain Uncle Sans mail and put
passengers to so great Inconvenience

SOVEREIGN LOwEFOUND GUILTY

Aiken, Feb. 1.-THE jury in the
case against Sovereign Lowe, charged
with the murder of his wife, Mrs.
Rainey Lowe, rendered a verdict of
guilty this afternoon, after having the
case under consideration for less than
two hours. The verdict carries with
it recommendation to the mercy of
the court and this will save the pris-
oner's neck. Lowe has not yet been
sentenced, but he will receive a life
sentence.

DIES WHILE IN JAIL.
Willie l.. Smith Succumbs TO Penn.
monia in Lee County Prison--Iiis-
tory of Case.

HishOpvilie, Feb. 16.-Willie L.
Smith, aged about 22 years, who has
been confined in Jail since December
20 last, charged with the murder of
Charley Moore on DECEMBER 10 last.
died last night after suffering for 10
days with pneumonia in his cell in
the Jail.
The facts in the case as gathered
are that the WOodmen of the World
OF Ashland had hot supper on the
night Of December 10, 1908, and
among those attending were W. L.
Smith, Sr., Charley Moore and Willie
Il. Smith, Jr. 1t seems that w. L.
Smith, Sr., and Charley Moore had
some words in the banquet hall, after
which Charley Moore left the hall
and came down stairs. where he was
followed by the two Smiths, and after
| getting down, one of the Smiths broke
bottle Of catsup over Charley
Moore's head, whereupon he pulled
his pistol and began shooting which
was followed by w. L. Smith, Sr., and
then Willie L. Smith, Jr. 1t seems
that Charley Moore killed w. l..
Smith. Sr., and Willie l.. Smith, Jr.,
killed Charley Moore The death of
Willie L. Smith. Jr., ends the whole
matter.
The body was turned over to Mrs.
w. L. Smith for burial, which took
place at Gum Branch church about
nine miles from here today at 4
o'clock p. m.

THE STATE LEAGUE.
Columbia Dope Writer Says 1t is on
The Job.

President William Bultman of the
Sumter State league club was in the
city Monday on business, but took
time enough to hunt Manager Gran
vile up and talk some baseball.
IT there were any deals on between
these baseball captains it did not leak
out. Mr.. Bultman had little to say
regarding the prospects this year fol
State league, but that is the case
every year with the State league mo-
guls at this stage of the game. The
usual talk of there being no South
Carolina State league this year has
found its way to the State league
headquarters in this city.
However, If the writer's dope boo,
Is not gone all wrong there will be q
State league all right when the time
comes for that organization to get a.
going early in May.
Sumter. Orangeburg, Chester an6
Rock Hill made up the circuit las,
year and each of them has its re.
serve list Of players, at least those
who have not been reached by draf,
or purchase. There is hardly any
doubt that the State league will be ii
the game all right when the play tim;
comes around.-The State.

Thursday. at TAO p. m, at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. H. A. Hoyt. father of the
bride. Mr.. Richardson Rembert and
Miss Juanita Hoyt were united in
matrimony by Rev. c. c. Brown
About seventy-five invited guests were
present to grace and enjoy the occa-
sion. The house decorations were
worthy Of all admiration. The stairs
leading from the reception hall to the
story above were hidden among folds
Of evergreen which covered railing
and baluster, giving an appearance
rather Of an assent up a rustic noun
tain path. Over the door leading from
the reception hall to the parlor. there
was erected q beautiful arch Of green.
beneath which the bride and groom
stood during the marriage ceremony.
The entrance to the parlor was
thrown open as the couple appeared
from the rear to the strains OF Men
delssohn's Wedding March, adimra-
bly, rendered by Master julius Alfred
Stubbs on the violin accompanied by
Mrs. Lucy Rodgers. A veritable fairy
bower OF smilax and white azalias. In
the soft and mellow glow OF lighted
tapers, formed a charming back
ground to the scene of the beauty. of
which the fair and lovely bride, be-
comingly attired In an attractive cos
tune of pure and simple white. was
the central figure.
The wedding supper was not Of any
modern type. where plates. spoons,
knives. forks and doilies had a mono
poly. and crowded out the more sub
stantial good things; rather 1t carried
me back to the better days and bet
ter doings Of the used-to-be. There
was barbecued pig. roast goose and
roast turkey. boiled ham and rice and
bread and coffee, salads of fowl and
salads of potatoes. and all manner of
things to eat. bpped off with ice
cream and sherbet and fruit cake and
pound cake. and apples and oranges,
grapes and bananas-and all that a
| well-ordered and ambitious appetite
could ask for. The guests all seemed
to be in gay spirits, and JOY ran
around the festive board.

1t Is reported that the plumbers
are getting ready to organize a local
Union. Sumter has never been a un-
ion town and the only efforts to or
ganize labor here have not been
marked with success. The at
tempt to organize a plumbers union
may be successful, owing to the fact
that there are, at present, many more
plumbers in town than ever before,
owing to the great amount Of work to
be done in making connections with
the sewers. The union may be a good
thing for the plumbers, but those who
have had experience in paying plumb
ers' bills will not be easily convinced
that the members Of this trade need
any organization to enable them to
charge at least living wage for their
| work. Labor conditions In Sumter
have been satisfactory for years, and
the scale of wages paid in all trades
Will bear comparison with other
towns In the South, and it is to be
hoped that the organization Of unions
will not create friction and antagon-
ism between employers and employees
and destroy the hitherto existing har-
monious relations.
The time for making tax returns is
drawing to close, and, as usual, a

who fall to make the returns required
by law will pay the penalty next fall

!are so high.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 14.-Kentucky,

the Anti-Saloon League and kindred
temperance forces will meet in Louis

will undoubtedly be the passing Of res
olutions calling on Gov. Wilson to
summon the legislature in extra
session for the consideration Of q
Statewide bill. or for uniform coun-
ty local option, embracing cities of
the first and second class.
The chief interest point Of the con-

the Kentucky court OF appeals. who
has previously declared In favor of
total prohibition for the State and
nation. even to the abrogation OF con-
