MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Board Of Equalization Are Raising
Some and Reducing Others.

The Township Board of Equaliza-
tion. assisted by Messrs. r. b. Belser.
ID. X. McCallum, Jr., and d. d. Noise
have been making good progress in
the work Of equalizing the property
in the city of Snmter. They have
run up on a good many problems. In
about two cases out Of three, the re-
turns are raised. while in other cases
they are lowered. They find property
returned all the way from 10 per cent
to about 90 per cent and in some
cases 100 per cent. Another thing
that has dawned upon them is the
belief that there Is no purpose TO
dodge the tax, but lack Of informa-
ton as to the basis Of return They
are basing their returns on one-third
OF the market value of the property
ana II they find that the returns
made by the owner are below that
proportion they raise it, and If above
they lower it.
sumter township last year had So
'""6N2 worth of property returned.
while the total real estate I'm the
county was but $7.177,12S. If the
returns this year are made on the
same basis tho Sumter township
board Is passing on more than half Of
the taxable property i'm the county.
An effort will be made to get the
county board Of equalization to put
the returns Of the entire county on
the same basis as that Of this town
ship.

PERCY CHALLENGES VARDAMAN
MAN
Demands That People Vote OH Vail

Nlty Ol IIlcctlOn.
Jackson Miss, April 15.-In brief
United States Senator Leroy Percy
today demanded that the question Of
the validity Of his election be submit
ted to vote of the people of Missis-
sippi and challenged his leading op-
pOnent in the recent Senatorial pri-
mary, former Governor James X.
Nardaman, to enter a primary elec-
ton to be held during the month of
November Of this year.
This def came as the climax of a
speech before the joint session of the
two branches of the State legislature
in which Mr.. Percy unsparingly de-
nounced State Senator Theodore Bill
DO and those who charged irregulari-
ties in connection with the recent
Senatorial contest in which he was
the successful candidate.
1T IS the plan of Mr.. Percy that the
election be regularly called by the
State Democratic executive commit

Senatorial term to begin after the
completion of the present unexpired
torn of the late Senator A. j. Nc

lected to serve. Should the result bo
adverse to him, Percy agrees that he
VIII resign and the Governor may
appoint some one to serve unit! the
next term, which would begin in
1918. Pending a conference between
Mr.. Nardaman and his friends the
entire matter was held IN abcyancc.
Tonight it was the intention that Mr..
Val daman be heard in reply to Mr..
Percy, but a storm Of almost cyclonic
proportions disarranged the plans
and the legislature will meet again
tomorrow in joint session to hear the
former Governor.

Catarrhal Asthma and Kay Fever.

Tens Of thousands of sufferers from,
hay fever and catarrhal asthma find
great comfort and quick relief by
breathing Hyomei.
Of course where asthma is not
caused by catarrhal condition, but
by nervous contraction Of the bron-
chial tubes, Hyomei is not recon-
mended.
But in a case of asthma where
there is a discharge Of mucocs.
breathing Hyomei gives most Won
derful relief by soothing the irritated i
and highly infiamed membrane.
Mr.. w. A. White, R. F. D. No. 1,
Evansport, Writes: "I have been
bothered with asthma for over five
years but could not get any relief TN
till I tried Hyomei. I have spent lots
of money on remedies for asthma
and if I could not get another bottle
I would not be without Hyomei for
$50. I recommend it.
A complete Hyomei outfit including
hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs
$1.00 with instructions for use in hay
fever and asthma. Extra bottles Of
Hyomei costs so cents at druggists

POOR OLD TAFT.
Gets on Bad With Women SufYragists
Who Hiss Him.

Washington. April 14.-The presi-
dent Of the United States, the first
chief executive Of the nation ever to
greet a convention Of woman suffra-
gists, braved the danger today Of fac
ing an army Of women who want the
ballot, had the courage to confess his
opinion and was Kissed. So great
was the throng that sought admission
to the hall that hundreds were turn
ed away.
President Taft was welcoming to
Washington the delegates to the con-
vention to the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. He had
frankly told them that he was not
altogether In sympathy with the suff-
rage movement and was explaining
why he could not subscribe fully to
its principles. He said he thought one
of the dangers in granting suffrage to
women was that women as a whole
were not interested In 1t and that the
power of the ballot as far as woman
Is concerned would be controlled by
the less desirable class"
When these words fell from the
presidents lips the walls Of the con-
vention hall reechoed a chorus of
Kisses. 1t was no feeble demonstra-
tion of protest. The combined Kisses
sounded as If a valve on a steam en-
gine had broken.
President Taft stood unmoved on
the platform during the demonstra-
ton Of hostility-for the kissing con-
tinued but a moment-and then,
smiling as he spoke. he answered the
anfavorable greeting with this re-
tort:
Now, my dear ladies. you must
show yourselves capable Of suffrage
by exercising that degree Of restraint
which is necessary in the conduct of
government affairs, by not Kissing"
The women who had Kissed were
rebuked. The presidents reply ap-
parently had taken hold. There were
no more Kisses while the president
continued his address. which he char
acterized "as my confession" on the
woman suffrage question. At the con-
clusion Of his talk he was enthusias-
tically applauded and some Of the
leaders Of the convention expressed to
him their sincere regret over the un-
pleasant incident.
President Taft assured them that
he had not had his feeling injured In
the least. II am not entirely GER
tain." said the president, after he had
been courteously received by Rachel
Foster Avery, vice president of the
association, that I ought to have
come here tonight, but your COM
mittee which invited me assured me
that I should be welcomed even If
did not support all the views which
are to be advanced in this convention
But consider that this movement
represent a sufficient part of the In
telligence of the community to justi-
fy my coming here and welcoming
you to Washington.

PLEASANT EVENING ASSURED,
Y. Nj. c. A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING.
n Delightful Smoker Will be Given on
Thursday Night, April 21-Promi-
nent Speakers COming-NO Con-
tributiOns to be Asked at Meeting.

The Board Of Directors of the
Young Mems Christian Association
met in the council chamber last night
and perfected plans for the smoker
on next Thursday night, April 21st.
The contract has been let to Mr.. A. L.
Jackson to hold the smoker at the
Hotel Sumter. A nice menu has been
approved by the committee in charge,
and all who attend are assured a
pleasant evening. Tickets for the
smoker can be had at any Of the
drug stores or banks or either Of the
following gentlemen, who compose
the directorate: Messrs. S. H. Ed
munds, Geo. D. Shore, Richard I.
Manning, H. L. Scarborough, J. W.

j. d. Shirer, w. G.. Stubs, Barlow

Haynsworth, R. F. Haynsworth, c. c.
Smith.
Two speakers, Hon. r. Goodwin
Rhett, Of Charleston, and DR.. Geo. B.
Cromer, Of Newberry, have accepted
the invitation to address the meeting.
Others have been invited and will
probably accept.
Every man who Is interested in the
enterprise Is invited to attend the
smoker and enjoy social evening.
No contributions will be asked at the
smoker. No man need fear that he
will be called upon to contribute one
cent there.
The outlook is fine now. The mat
ter of the association has been taken
up in a business like way and will be
pushed to a successful conclusion.
On next Thursday evening at the
Hotel Sumter those who are interest
ed in Sumter having a Y. M. c. A.
a place for the young men Of the
city to congregate and be under the
best unfit ences-will enjoy a smoker.
Several prominent speakers are ex-
pected. Among them are Hon. r.
Goodwin Rhett, of Charleston; DR..
George B. Cromer, of Newberry; Mr..
Alfred Brand, of the Atlantic Coast
Line; Mr.. r. B. Pegram of the South
ern Railway and ex-Gov. r. B.
Glenn, of North Carolina. These gen.
tlemen will handle the question pure
ly from business standpoint
The time has come when the Y.
M. G. A. holds a place in the business
economy Of every city and large COM
munity. The railroads and cotton
mills are building homes for the AS
Sociation where their operatives will
have access to them. They do this,
not from the standpoint of religion,
but from matter of business.
Every man who has a boy, or any
interest in boy should be interested
In this question. Where in Sumter
is there any place for the youth to
spend their evenings! What in
fuence is around them when they
are out at night! There is no argu-
ment needed to convince any business
man that the Y. M. c.. A. is a neces-
sity.
At the smoker you will not be ask
ed to subscribe one cent. That is to
be purely a social affair where the
matter will be discussed from a busi-
ness standpoint by business men.
Show your interest in the movement
by being on hand Thursday night.

Contract Let for CataXba.

The State Board of Health has
let the contract for the new build
ings, TO be erected at the State
tuberculosis Ssnatorium at Ca
tawba. Work on the building on
the buildings is to begin at once
and the contractors, the Camden
Iron Company, whose bid was
much lower than the others sub
mitted, are under bond TO complete
the work by September l. At
that time the Sanatorium will be
prepared TO receive 112 patients
where it can now accommodate
but 81.
The plans approved by State
Board call for six new buildings.
Five of these are the improved
"lesn-tos" for the outdoor treat
ment of consumption. Each of
these will accommodate 16 patients
and will in addition contain a
dressing room, trunk room and a
sitting room.
The sixth building will be a
large amusement hall and dining
room, made necessary by the in
crease in the other accommodations
at Catawba.
The new buildings will be erected
to the West of the present admin
istration building on a smooth
level tract, beautifully wooded and
protected by the adjacent noun
tsins. The present buildings will
not be disturbed, leaving the beau
tiful park about the sulphur spring
as it was when that resort was one
of the most famous in the country,
The Board has recently had the
trees in front of the Sanatorium
,thinned out, giving an extended
view of the Cstawha valley anC
mountains, and greatly adding tC

ings.

unabated, and it is thought there
will be at least another week Of
work in the rocks.
The genial Pat" Mallory has
done good work with his force in
the rocks, and has been compli-
mented by railroad men for energy
on the work.
The Western Union and Railroad
wires are being moved to the East
side of the track, commencing at
the turnpike crossing, and will
continue on that side until above
the new depot, when they will
swing back to the West side of the
track. This change will be q great
improvement, as it will remove all
obstructing wires and poles from
the West side of the track between
the turnpike and the new depot.
