CAPITAL STOCK s15O,OOO.
Sumter Savings Bank Stockholders
Vote Unanimously for Increased
Capitalization.

pursuant to the resolution Of the
board OF directors of the Sumter
Savings Bank meeting of the stock
holders was held Tuesday afternoon
in the Office Of the bank to consider
the increase Of the capital stock of
the bank to $3.50 as recommend
ed by the directors.
The capital Of the bank being $685.
600 and the surplus $4,000 the plan
recommended by the directors was
that stock dividend Of $4,000 be
declared and that $4,000 in new
stock be placed with persons not
stockholders. Letters were sent out
two weeks ago inviting subscriptions
to the new stock and the response to
these letters was subscriptions
amounting to sS7,5O0, an over SUBJ
scription Of s37,500.
The stockholders by formal reso-
luton agreed to increase the capital
stock, but as the subscriptions were
so great it was decided to fix the cap
ital at s15O,O00 instead of $3.50 as
first proposed. Even this increase
will not take care Of all the subscrip-
tons and some Of those who applied
for stock will not receive it and 9TH
ers will not obtain al that they ask
ed for-the subscriptions exceeding
the amount Of new stock to be is
sued by s12,500.
A resolution was also adopted that
the bank be converted into Nationaf
bank and the name changed to The
City National Bank.
The first instalment of 20 per cent
Of the new stock will be called for
on October 18th and the remainder
will be called for in installments to
be paid from time to time.
1t is expected that the new charter
under the National banking law will
be obtained in time for the City Nat
ional Bank to take over the business
about January 18th
National Bank Examiner Giles w.
Wilson, is here today making a
thorough investigation Of the contli-
ton of the business Of the bank for
the purpose Of making a report to the

IN THE POLICE COURT.
ID. L.. Tsdale Found not Guilty by a
Jury Of Five Men.

The case of the city against II. L..
Tisdale for riding a bicycle on the
sidewalk Of Calhoun street last Fri
day came up in the police court Tues
day morning. Mr.. Tisdale being ac-
quilted by the jury which heard the
case.
Mr.. Tisdale was arrested Friday af-
ternoop along with others by Police
man owens for riding on the side
walk Of Calhoun Street. On last Sat-
urday the others paid their fine Of
81 each. for riding on the sidewalk.
but Mr.. Tisdale asked for a jury
trial and secured an attorney. Mr.. NJ
Relrolds. to represent him. Mr.. Tis-
dale Grained not to have ridden on
the sidewalk at the time for which
the arrest was made.
In view Of the fact that the case
has attracted considerable attention.
especially among those who have paid
fines for riding on the sidewalk, there
were a number Of witnesses and
spectators present at the trial.
All OF the witnesses practically
agreed upon the fact that the street
was In a pretty bad condition. but
the majority Of them thought that 1t
could have been ridden on with a
bicycle with some difficulty. Among
the witnesses were some Of those
who had been convicted of riding on
the sidewalk. Mr.. p. p. Booth stat
ed that the street had not been COM
pletely finished yet. but that II had
been opened up for traffic. The
street was clayed last spring and
summer and it seems from the evi-
dence that 1t is generally in a bad
condition after a rain.
Mr.. Owens stated that ne had been
on the edge OF the street In front Of
the new building which Is going I'D
there when Mr.. Tisdale passed him
riding on a wheel and that Mr.. Tis-
dale turned up on the sidewalk at a
point opposite Hardy avenue and rode
on on the sidewalk until he turned
the corner at Salem street. He said
that he had watched him do this and
that he had not stopped him as he
thought that he would see him on his
return.
On the other hand Mr.. Tisdale tes-
tiled that he was an expert bicyclist
and that he had stayed in the street,
although 1t was In a bad condition.
He had ridden In the street both 60
ing 10 dinner and returning.
II took the jury only a few minutes
to return the verdict Of mot guilty.
after the case had been left to them,
following the argument made by Mr..
Reynolds and the charge made by
Recorder Lee.
Other cases were: Euston John
son. violating automobile ordinance
by exceeding the speed limit. He
pleaded not guilty through his coun-
sci. Mr.. II. ID. Noise. but was found
guilty and was sentenced to pay q

Titles in England.

Forty or fifty years ago few people
IN England had titles. There we're
only few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix Sir
before their names We all of us
ooked down with lofty contempt upon
,he counts and barons that were so
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we can do so no longer, for probably
there is no other country in the world
where the traffic in titles is so open
and so indecent as in England. What
the number of decorations is | do
not know, and imagine that few do.
Every few years some new one is cre-
Rted and an Englishman with a taste
that way can easily manage to ex-
hibit himself covered with metal disks
and bits of ribbon like some success
tul COW at an agricultural show. These
embellishments may fiatter the van
lty of their wearers, but they do not
