FROM WHISKEY TO ROBBERY
Three Negroes Try to Buy Whiskey
from Another Negro and Failing
in That They Take 1t From Him.

The three negroes brought to Sum-
ter on Saturday afternoon from Dali
zell on the charge of robbery were
sent back to that place today to be
tried by Magistrate Gillis for rob-
berry Of whiskey from another negro,
whose name is thought to be Spann.
The negros are named Eel Saxton,
Ram Williams, and Jim Bracey.
1t seems from what can be learned
of the case that the three negroes
on Saturday bought some whiskey
from Spann which they drank with
relish and seemingly enjoyed, for
some time later in the day they went
back to him and tried to buy some
more whiskey from him. He refused
to sell them the fire water" and
they had to go off unsatisfied. A lit
tie later on in the day they found
Spann somewhere out by himself and
they at once proceeded to get busy
and get the whiskey from him with
out his consent, since they could not
get it from him with his consent
When they left him he no longer
possessed the whiskey but he was
full Of ideas and in his desire for
revenge and justice ne went to Mag
istrate Gillis and swore out warrants
for the three robbers.
They were arrested and sent to
Sumter Saturday afternoon to be
held until a preliminary could be
held. Today they were sent back
for the preliminary and it is probable
that when they come back tonight
Spann will be sent with them, as ev-
idence has been secured to convict
him of selling whiskey.

GLASS COMPANY ENTERS SUIT.
Action Brought Individually Against
DispcnSary Commission.

Columbia. Nov. 2S.-Today the
members of the dispensary commits
sion are advised that they will indi-
vidually be sued by the Carolina Glass
Company, Of this city. Charged with
doing an illegal act" the members
of the commission will be brought
into the Courts 10y the Glass Com
panY, on account of the action of the
commission toward that concern in
connection with the claim the Glass
Company had against the old State
iispensary and the subsequent wiping
out of that claim and the render
ing of an overjudgment by the COM
mission. A few days ago the Glass
Company presented its petition for a
rehearing. A letter was addressed to
the dispensary commission, inform
ing the several members that. indi-
vidually. they will be sued by the
Glass Company. The amount in
VOWED was altogether $4,000, but
less than half of This is in the coun-
ty dispensaries
This suit brought against the mem
hers of the commission recalls the
famous agricultural Hal' litigation
in this State. That hall, owned by
the State, was sold 10 interests rep
resented by w II. Lyles, who. it SO
happens, is attorney for the Glass
Company, also. The payment was
rendered in bonds. which the State OF
South Carolina had said could be
used to pay debts To the State. The
bonds were ropudiated during the
Administration of Governor Tillman.
and the State refused to give up the
old building. Then the interests rep
resentod by Mr.. Lyles brought suit
against the Governor and other in
individual state officials. who had
hand i'm the transaction. The result
was the passage OF an Act allowing
the acceptance of the bonds and an
additional $4,000 for damages.
1t is just such an undertaking that
the officers of the Glass Company are
now bringing against the Individual
members of the dispensary commis-
sion, the petition being presented to
the Supreme Court today.

Editor The Sumter Item:
Flease let me say the following

sold their property some few months
ago for $7O05.OO and purchased a
lot on corner Washington and Dingle
Streets for $3,5OO.OO.
Thus it can be seen, that half of
the money received from the sale
OF the lot on Main street was used
to pay for the present site. We have
succeeded, however, in building the
walls of the new edifice to the prom
er height Except the 'front.' and at
present we are holding service in the
basement of the new church. un-
sheltered, save by a sub-foor and tar
paper over that. AS the winter will
soon be on us, we are anxious to
get the roof on, so we can worship
through the winter, and not be dis
turbed by rains. The most of nv
congregation is made up of that class
who cook, wash and groom, and do
general house work, for which they
do not get large salary or wage.
We have strained that class to
their fullest extent, in order to get
the roof on the church before winter.

REV. BILLY AND HIS BASEBALL
RECORD.

A son of one of the great number
of unidentified heroes of the Civil
war, whose very graves are unknoW II,
William Alhley sunday has come in
to prominence as one of the most sue
cessful evangelists of his time. Born
on farm near Ames, Iowa, where the
great agricultural college is located,
he made a brave struggle to assist his
widowed mother after the death of
the husband and father on a southern
battlefield The mother still rema: MS
the inspiration of the great evan
gelist. whose words move thousands
TO rally under the cross. He made
his way through school by cleaning
blackboards, sweeping floors and do
ing other janitor work, never hesitat-
ing to do anything that would help
him to obtain an education. He was
a locomotive fireman on the Chicago
q Northwestern road, and retains the
hearty and affectionate regard of his
old railway associates.
An ardent lover of baseball, his
career on the diamond was Launched
on the vacant corner lots. where he
gained experience and prowess in the
national game, until BILLY" Sunday
became widely known as a star play
er. Captain Pop" Anson soon Sc
cured the young Iowa lad for his
famous baseball team. and BILLY"
was chosen as one of the party to
make the notable trip around the
world, but an accident interfered with
his going. Known and admired by
fans all over the country. he con-
tinued to break all records in speed
around the bases, and was without a
superior as a fielder. While in Chi
cago on ball-playing expedition he
attended a religious service; the story
of billy" Sundays conversion has
been told and retold and never fails
to Interest. He has steadfastly con-
tinued his evangelistic work at a
meagre salary and has refused var
ious offers of five hundred dollars a
month to play ball, because his heart
and soul is in the great evangelistic
work. True. he speaks brusquely at
times. but he always has something
to say that goes direct to the hearts
of his hearers at Wash
ington." Joe Mitchell Chapple, in
