CUTTING SCRAPE.
Greek Is Cut Five Times by Negro
Injury not Serious

ON Saturday about 10 O'Clock a
Greek named V. Baula and a negro
by the name of Nathaniel Evans,
better known as Rabbit" engaged
i'm n rucus that ended in both of the
men being carried 10 the guard
house
Baula. who carries on fruit
store at No. w Liberty street,
started to break off some bananas
from the punches hanging In front
of his store for the negro who had
asked for some. but Rabbit was not
satisfied with the kind that he was
giving him so he stepped In between
and began taking the ones that ne
wanted, these being the best on the
the bunch. Baula protested and the
negro cursed him. whereupon Baula
told him TO get away from there.
The negro took out his knife and
cut the Greek in five places, none
OF the cuts being at all serious
owing 10 the fact that the knife was
too dull to cut through the cloth.
The Greek went into the store
and brought out an umbrell,.
with which he started for the negro.
The two were then sparated by
Frank O'Donnell. who runs store
| adjoining to that of the Creeks;
but they ran out into the street and
continued the alteration until the
negro left and went into the back door
of the d. ]. Chandler Clothing Com
pany store where Chief Bradford ar
rested him. Both put up ball for
their appearance at the Recorders
court on Monday.
The negro who Is we'll known
around town by the name Of Rabbit.
Is bad character. while the Greek
has always conducted himself in an
orderly manner.

COURT IN SESSION.
Blind Tiger Case First ON The Docket.

From The Daily Item, Oct. 10.
The Court Of General Sessions
convened this morning at 10 O'Clock,
Judge Prince presiding and Solicitor
stoil at his post of duty.
Judge Prince delivered a lengthy
and forcible charge to the grand
jury. dealing largely with the gene, J..
affairs OF the county-educational
financial and official. He criticised
the present public school system
and made a number of suggestions
that would tend 70 thc bcttcr-,en ent of

ing for several months. and the legis-
lature will have the opportunity TO
remedy the defects which Judge
Prince criticised.
While the grand jury was at work
on the first batch Of indictments
handed out by the Solicitor, the case
of the State VS.. Geo. p. McKagen. for
selling liquor. which was continued
from the last term, was taken up.
There was nothing much to this
case: III. ID. G. Muldrow special con-
stable swore that he bought a pint
OF whiskey from McKagen on a GER
tain specified date. paying rs cents
therefor while George p. McKagen,
when he went on the stand, swore
with equal positiveness that he did
not sell the liquor to Muldrow on
the date specified or at any other
time. The argument for the defense
was made before recess by Mr.. J. H.
Clifton. Solicitor Stoll will speak
this afternoon.

HARMONY PRESBYTERY MEETS
With Old IndiantOwn, Which Ceic-
brates Her 15Oth Birthday.

Tuesday, October, II, at o'clock
p. m, Harmony Presbytery will meet
with Indiantown Presbyterian
church, in the eastern part of the
county. This in itself will be Il
matter Of considerable importance.
but the meeting will have added sig
nifcance in that it will unite with
the venerable church in the celebra-
ton Of its 15Oth anniversary. The
celebration will take place on Thurs
day. October 13, when it is expected
that about 1000 persons will be
present, including not only the mem
bers of the church and friends from
the county but many former mem
bers and friends from a distance.
The special spe 'lers for the oc-
casion are to be Rev. Henry Alex
ander White, d. d. of Columbia
Theological Seminary, and Prof
George McCutchen, of the Univer rsity
of South Carolina, a son of the old
church and whose brothers, Messrs
Hugh and David McCutchen, are
elders thereof
On both Wednesday and Thurs
day picnic dinners are to be served
on the grounds. and many are the
well-filled baskets that will contrib
ute to supply the wants Of the inner
man.
In anticipation of the happy event
the church has made extensive prep
arations. A portico has been added
to the building, new windows have
been put in, the entire building
painted inside and outside, a new
carpet laid and minor improvements
made. The church now presents a
very attractive appearance and soon
1t will say to the members of the
presbytery and its numerous friends:
Come, for all things are now ready"

In The Police Court.

Only two cases came up in the Re-
corder's court Monday. The first Of
these was case against Nathaniel
Evans. alias Rabbit" for assault
and battery Of a high and aggravated
nature. The assault was made on ".
Baula Greek. on Saturday morning,
who was cut several times with q
knife. Mr.. G. c. Smith, who ap-
peared as attorney for the defendant,
asked that the preliminary be waiv-
ed, and the case went to the higher
court. rabbit" having put up bail
for his appearance when the trial is
called.
AS the Greek cannot speak English
very plainly, and his brother, who
is the principle witness, cannot speak
IL at all. and Rabbit" speaking it on
greatly extended plan-be being
much given to stuttering-the case is
apt To be a novel one for Sumter
and at the same time an interesting
onc--espeically as an interpreter will
have To be secured when the case
comes up.
Elizabeth Dykes. colored, was up
for having threatened to do some
bodily harm to the person of l.. a.
Singly, white. or his wife. Singly
did not produce enough evidence to
support his case so 1t was dropped.

DRINK PURE WATER.
Improved Sanitary Drinking FOutains
Installed at City Schools.

Among the improvements at the
graded school inaugurated this ses-
sion is the establishment Of a drink
ing fountain for the children where
they can drink the pure water from
the pipe as it bubbles up with no
fear Of germs that are usually car
ried from child to child by means of
the common dipper.
The foutain is a very simple ar
rangement, but it probably will mean
much in the way of preventing the
spread Of contagious diseases among
the children. 1t consists Of a plain
galvanized iron pipe with holes bored
in II at convenient distances so that
six children can drink at the same
time. The patent sanitary drink
ing fountain which many ply
sicians and superintendents have ad-
vised be put in the schools costs con-
siderable and has only one spout,
only one child being able to drink at
time. The arrangement that Supt.
Edmunds has installed on the grad
ed school grounds is very much on
the same order, while at the same
time 1t has six spouts. enabling six
children, instead of one child, to
drink at the same time The water
bubbles up through the spout, the
child putting it's mouth to the spout
and catching the water as it bubbles
up. A kind of trough is placed just
beneath the pipe, which catches the
overflow water preventing water
from falling on the ground and keep
ing the ground from getting damp
and muddy anywhere around the
drinking fountain, whereas in the old
way of drinking from the buckets
the children always threw the water
left in the dipper on the ground and
the earth around the buckets was
generally kept in an unsanitary con-
dition.
At present there Is only one of the
foutains on the square but several
others will be put there in the near
future

quite a compliment to the
musical talent of the charming

presented the entertainment.
Miss Christine Giles (who' by
the way is Mrs Ralph Bingham

hearers by her clever rendition
of difficult numbers on the violin,
and her sister, Miss Louise Giles,
as accompanist, is no less deserv-
ing of praise for her skill on the
piano and violincello.
These, with Miss Adams reci-
tations, which were favorably
received, constituted the even

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think tnat
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And go it is

danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
