and w. J. Arson smashed up the
FORD car belonging to Mr.. Graham
Moses, the damage done to the car
being estimated at somewhat over
5000.
Both of the young men, who are

moved from the guard house and
taken to Judge Wells Office where
they waived a preliminary and bond
was fixed. $500 for Axson and s40V
for Reid. AT o'clock Friday ar
rangements had not yet been made
for bond. and both of the young men
were taken to Jail until it could be

From what could be learned Friday

seems that both Axson and Red were
pretty we'll tanked up with liquor
Thursday night They took the car
out from the alley-way to the
side Of Mr.. II. j. Harbys Of.
flee and set out tor JOY ride. AT
This time Mr.. Moses. the owner Of
the car. was playing a game Of pool
in Mr.. j. Z. Kings pool room and he
did not know anything about the ac-
cident to his car until later.
1t is not known how long the young
men ran the car about town, but
shortly after IL o'clock word was
received at police headquarters that
two persons had run their car into
telephone pole at the corner Of Bart
lette and Salem streets and had run
of leaving the car there. The noise
made when the car struck the tele-
phone pole woke up several Of the
people in the neighborhood, one Of
whom telephOned the news that the
car had been abandoned to police
headquarters.
Policeman Owens went to the
scene and examined the the car and
found 1T to be pretty badly damaged.
He took the number and learned
from those nearby who had heard
The accident that two men had got
ten out Of the car after the smash-up
and ran off down street. He came
back down town and ascertained
that the car belonged to Mr.. Moses,
who at once went up to see what

with one wheel and one axle broken,
wind guard, lights, radiator and other
parts smashed to pieces and still 9TH
er parts damaged. He stated Friday
morning that he estimated the dam
age as something near $500.
Friday afternoon when Magistrate
Wells told his acting Constable II. D.
g. Muldrow. to take the prisoners to
Jail. Reid started off with him and then
refused to go, saying that he would
not go with Mr.. Muldrow, but that
he would go with some one else and
some one else would have to make
the commitment Mr. Muldrow was
persuaded not TO use force and Dep
uty Sheriff Sykes came about that
time and the commitment was hand
ed over to him.

Messrs. Shelton Reid and w. J..
Axson were released from the coun-
ty Jail late Saturday afternoon. fol-
lowing the withdrawal of the case
against them made by Mr.. Moses.
The case, 1t is understood. was with
drawn upon their consent to leave
town not to return. Sunday after
noon both Of the young men left the
city for parts unknown and il ia
thought, that with the case hanging
over them as 1T is, they will not re-
turn to Sumter In a hurry.
Following the arrests OF Messrn
Reid and Axson for smashing up Mr..
Graham Moses car on Thursday
night the young men We're charged
with malicious mischief by Mr.
Moses and lodged In jail upon their
failure to give bond. They remain
ed In Jail over Friday night and until
late hour Saturday afternoon, when
the case was dropped and they were
released.
1t Is thought that the disastrous

Gathering and Storing the Seed
Ears.

AS soon as the corn is sufficiently
dry 1T should be carefully gathered
and housed. In gathering for seed,
gather only from the selected stalks
that have two ears. If there are two
good ears on stalk, take both.
If one is poor, select only the good
one. Gather for seed only those ears
that have the end Well covered with
a close-ftting shuck, as this is a
very effective protection against tho
eeNil. Except as stated, not much
can be done in selecting the ear at
this time. store the ears i'm = cool
dry. well-ventilatcd place ana not I'm
too great a bulk, SO there will be no
danger Of heating. Seed corn should
also be kept from freezing.
When the opportunity presents f.
self during the winter, this seed corn
should be carefully shucked and the
best ears selected.
