VACCINATION is SAFEST PLAN
Smallpox I'm the Country Is Menace
To the City.

For some time smallpox has been
epidemic in the Elliotts and ST. Char
les sections. There have been a num-
ber Of cases. Yesterday Afternoon a
man from that community came to
Sumter to consult a doctor. He sat
on the physicians piazza for a half
hour before the physician came. Af-
ter examining the patient the dis
ease was diagnosed as smallpox.
There Is no necessity to quarantine
against the disease. Safety lies only
in vaccination. Every man, woman
and child in the city or county should
be vaccinated It once. The health Of
ficer is prepared, to put the virus in
your arm at any time. You owe it to
yourself, your family and the COM
munity to be vaccinated and help to
stamp out the disease.

YIELD LOSS TEN PER CENT.
Estimated Effect of Recent Cold
Wave on Cotton.

Memphis, Tenn, April 29.-In a
statement issued today, by the Ma
tiOnal Ginners' Association, it estimat-
ed that the acreage planted in cot
ton in the Southern States on April
26 had been increased -tenths
of l per cent. as compared with the
same date last year. In the Eastern
States a small increase is reported,
while the Valley States show a slight
decrease, because of the spread of
the boil weevil. Texas shows a slight
increase and Oklahoma about 10 per
cent not as much as indicated in
March in either State. This is ex-
planned by the scarcity of feedstuffs
increasing the acreage in corn, oats
and alfalfa.
Reports to the Association show
that GA per cent of the crop has been
planted. The greater part of the
plants which were up before the re-
cent cold weather were killed, except
in Central and Southern Texas, and
it is estimated that 100000 acres
should be replanted. With average
takings 1,&16,OOO, against 1,SS9,141

MYSTERY SHR0UDS CASE.
KILLING OF WOMAN PROVES
PUZZLE TO POLICE.
Fatally Wounded at Night-Margarct
MusSrove Shot While i'm Company
With c. p. Grimshaw, Who is Held
AS Witness.

Charleston, April 29.-The Charles
ton detectives are at work today on Il
mysterious murder, as a result of
the death this morning of Margaret
Musgrove, who died at the Riverside
infirmary from wounds which she r.
ceived while in company with G. =.
Grimshaw, a switchman and extra
conductor of the Southern railway.
shortly before midnight, on a stretch
OF land in the extreme western por-
ton of the city, known as West Point
mill. Grimshaw was also shot in the
fieshy portion of the back. The po-
lice department is attempting to un-
tathom the mystery. Grimshaw IS
under guard at the Roper hospital,
held as material witness. The in
quest will be held tomorrow.
The killing Of the woman was the
general topic Of conversation TODAY
and various speculative stories were
told. Grimshaw alleged upon reach
ing the hospital, to which place he
ran upon being shot and asked for
treatment, that he and the young w.
man had been attacked by a negro.
and it is understood that in the wo-
mans ante-mortem statement it is
also charged that a negro or dark
man had attacked her. From the
course of the bullets, it appears that
the couple were facing each other
when the shooting took place, and
the man who fired the shots could not
have been very far removed from the
couple. Five shots are reported to
have been fired, two of which enter
ed the lower part of the mans back
and two others the woman's body just
below the heart
One of the commonly circulated
stories today was that the shooting
had been done by a relative of the
young woman and that he had sur
rendered himself to the police. The
man in question had not, however,
surrendered himself and admitted the
shooting. Another story said that the
conductor had one the shooting, but
this also proved to be talk.
So much mystery attends the af-
fair that the police department is
proceeding slowly and cautiously in
the case, and in the meantime the
public is doing much talking. Some
sensational testimony may develop
at the coroner's inquest tomorrow
morning.

Bradstreet's Weekly Review.

Gold weather with snow West and

Taken as a whole the reports from
jobbing and wholesale trade lines and
industries point to a slowing down

and the downward tendency of many
commodities does not seem to have
brought out much new business.

DISMISS SNEAD HABEAS CORPUS.
New Jersey Justice Refuses to Re-
lease Mrs. Snead.

Trenton, n. j., April 29.-United
States Circuit Court Justice Lanning
today dismissed the habeas corpus
proceedings, instituted by Mrs. Mary
w. Snead, to secure her release from
the Essex County Jail. The woman.
1T Is alleged, had a guilty knowledge
of the alleged murder of Ocey w.
Snead. who was found dead in a bath
tub in East Orange last September.
The Judge, in rendering his decis-
ion, said that when a person charged
with high crime is within the custody
and jurisdiction of State, the State
may proceed to try and punish the
defendant, even though unlawful vio-
lence and abuse of a legal process
was resOrted to in getting the person
berofe the court. This decision is
aimed at the contention of Mrs
Snead's counsel that improper meth
ods were used to deceive Governor
Fort and Hughes in securing the wo-
mans eXtradition from New York to
New Jersey. The court decided in
favor of the State in several other
contentious raised in the proceedins,
and Mrs. Snead was remanded to the
custody Of Sheriff Harrigan to await
the opening Of her trial.

time, and only nine Of them escap-

with thongs and left lying on the
beach in the torpical sun for several
hours, while the savages took the ma

The cannibals then returned to the
beach and carried the missionaries
on litter to the crater of extinct

island. There for two days and
nights they held a coroboree. AT
times their dancing and revelling

SAVING ONE-HALF.
City Manufacturing Her Own Drain
age Piping.

The street department is putting in
2,1O0 feet Of 24-inch main on Brad
ford, Salem. Dingle and Council
streets for the purpose of draining
that section of Surl,er. This drain
age system connects with and is "A
continuation of the Washington street
drainage. and will carry off all the
surface water contiguous to that sec
dion.
The drainage system takes the
place of more than 5000 feet of open
bitches, running through what is
known as the old Edwards property.
A careful survey showed that it would
be cheaper to dig a new ditch than to
utilize the old one. owing to great
saving in length.
At every bend in the main there IS
a man-hole and a sand pit, which pre-
vents the main becoming choked up.
The piping for this work is being
manufactured by the city out of ce-
ment and sand. They are eliminating
a very annoying sand-bed and putting
the sand to actual value. The cement
piping is made at about one-half the
cost of terra Gotta piping, besides
there is a considerable saving in the
cost Of putting it down. The joints
fit better and there is no waiting Till
flows can be chipped off.
This work Is a permanent work
and will cost very little to maintain
There is no chance for the main ia
become choked up with sand. The
sand pits, which are two feet below
the main will catch all the sand and
1t can be removed very easily.
The main will average about SIX
feet below the surface. This puts tho

ADMINISTRATION WINS IN TEST
Cummins Provision of Railroad Bill
Defeated.

Washington, AApril 29.-By the
decisive vote of 35 to 20. and in the
midst of intense excitement, the Ad-
ministration Republicans today de-
feated the Cummins substitute for
the Crawfod- Elkins traffic agreement
provision of the railroad bill. The
question had practically mOnopolized
the attention of the senate for the
past week and was regarded as one
of the most important substitute div
isions of the pending bill. The vote
Is generally accepted as a test of the
strength Of the contending sides, re-
spectively and it is believed that IL
presages the passage of the bill by a
safe majority.
The vote was not a large one and
represented only little more than two
thirds of the senate membership.
OF the total membership of 90,
there were 2S senator's who did not
vote, and of these four were absent
without being paired, and all of these
were Democrats. They were Sena-
tors Clark, Of Arkansas; Bankhead
of Alabama; McEnery, of Louisiana;
and Smith, of Maryland.
All of the Democrats present cast
their votes in favor of the Cummins
provision, so that if the Democratic
senator's who were absent and un-
paired had been present and had vot-
ed for the amendment the ballot in
it's favor would have been increased
to 33, still less by two votes than the
votes against the provision. Only
eighteen Democratic votes were cast,
and these, together with eleven Re-
publicans, who voted for the Cum
Minis substitute, constituted the en-
tire affirmative vote.

Editor The Daily Item:
In Fridays issue your reporter
mentions the fact that Rosalee Bud
din, notorious colored woman, had
been convicted of storing and selling
liquor and given a fine of 500 or 80
days. He adds: 'In the absence of
the dollars Rosalee is doing time"
killing time" would be better, for
she will remain in Jail 80 days do
ing absolutely nothing and the city
will pay Sheriff Epperson 50 for her
board-a job very much to her lik-
ing, no doubt. Why not put her to
sweeping streets, washing for the
conNicts or some other such work?
We protest against this custom
of keeping white men and white and
negro women in Jail at a cost to the
city. Such people ought to have
some provision made for their ac-
commodatiOn on the chaingang, so
that they could serve time" and not
kill" time.
