GREAT WHITE WAY STARTED
First of Series OF Arches Was Put up
Saturday Afternoon.

The great white way" for Sumter
which has been talked of for several
months is at last about to be a real
ity.
Work on the first arch was COM
menced Saturday morning and by
night was completed and the street
lit up as bright as day-at least
that portion Of the street near it.
The arch was swung across Main
street and. Hampton avenue. Eleven
thirty-twO candle power lights with
refiectors were put on the arch,
enough to make 1t furnish a fine light
in the street below.
Five arches will be put up on Main
street and two on Liberty street. The
second arch will hang from the City
Hall across the street to the old
court house. the next arch will be at
the corner Of Main and Liberty
street and two more arches will be
put oit tiC hcAl DlOCk DelOW
street. Two arches will be strung on
Liberty street between Harvn and
Main street and between Sumter and
Main street.
Mr.. r. II. Moses, manager of the
Sumter Lighting Company, stated that
1t would probably be some time be-
fore the white way" would be COM
pleted as he was engaged in putting
up fifty-horse motor in Mr.. Scar
borough's gin and was working on
the white way" in between times,
when waiting for the parts Of the
motor to come. He would push the
work as much as possible, however,
and would probably have the white
way" completed by the first OF Sep
tember. or at least shortly after that
time. 81 ,~..a;

MIR. Charles Il. Richardson Dead.

The sad news Of the death of Mr.
Charles Z. Richardson in Asheville.
n. c.. was received here Saturday
shortly after o'clock by the
family OF the deceased. MIR. Rich
ardson was young man, 22 years
old. He was we'll known in this city
where lie was born and raised and
has lived all Of his life, except for
the time that he was away at col
lege. and was liked and respected by
all who knew him.
Mr.. Richardson's death was pecu-
liarly sad in that he was young
man who gave promise of a great fu-
ture. Graduating from the high
school in this city he entered Fur
man University where, by conscien-
t!ous work, ne stood at the head of
his class and graduated with high
honors. Later he stood the examina-
ton for the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ship to Oxford. qualifying for the po-
sition. but failing to win the scholar
ship. Not despairing over this first
defeat he set out to further qualify
for the position and with this idea in
view he accepted a school in Saluda
county and taught during the past
school session. Up to this time he
had since his graduation from col
lege, been engaged in surveying and
engineering work. civil engineering
being his chosen profession.
Mr.. Richardson was sick when he
returned home from his year at
school and his health has gradually
given way since that time. On We'd
nesday he was taken from Sumter to
Asheville to see IL the climate there
would not be beneficial to him. The
change was made too late, however,
and his gradually lessening strength
gave way completely Saturday.
Mr.. ]. b. Richardson, father of the
deceased. left this morning for Ashe-
Vile to take charge of the body and
to bring 1t back to Sumter. Inter-
ment took place at the local
cemetery Monday morning at 10
o'clock. The body arrived from
Asheville Sunday afternoon on the
first train from Columbia which
comes in at $3.50 o'clock.
Mr.. Richardson leaves besides his
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Richard
son. several sisters and brothers. all
OF whom. with the exception Of one
sister. reside in this city.

AT several places in the city there
were small wash-ins after the rain

line and connections in that vicinity
had been completed.

A Pound Too Much.

In former article we spoke of
the dangers that lie in wait for the
overcorpulent, and especially the
danger of self-treatment or quack
treatment. The advice of reput-
able physician is as much needed in
this condition as IN one of acute ill
ness. The reason for this is that
the treatment is largely dietetic, and
must be based on individual needs,
but it does not follow that the victim
of overcoming flesh is powerless to
do anything for his own relief. On
the contrary, his deslineY lies large
ly on his own hands.
To begin with, flesh making, like
most bad physical tendencies, can
not be attacked too early. II de.

Mishaps of Second Bull Run

ering that the approaching army Of Lee
was too great for his corps to handle, re-
NAMED where he was
There he stayed all day, while Pope
hoped and prayed for his assistance Late
in the afternoon, as Porter's corps had
made no move toward the field Of battle in
front OF Longstreet, who had by now sur
rounded the critical hill with his troops
and seriously threatened Popes left end,
the Union commander ordered Porter again
to go into battle. He did not move, how
ever. and sunset found Longstreets right
end advanced around McDowell's left wing
at Popes left while Kearnys troops had
doubled Jackson's left around upon itself.
In the course of the night Longstrcet
withdrew his troops To their first line %
battle, giving Pope the impression that
they had reUeated. Pope sent Porter per
emptory orders to report in person with his
troops the following morning.

been lighting. with little TO eat, and when
morning broke they and their horses were

day advanced Longstreet swung further
