CASE.
Charges of Fraud Against u. III. Cad
sden Being Investigated by the Su-
preme Court Which Reserves De-
cisiOn.

Columbia, Jan. 27.-Phillip Cad
sden, President Of the Charleston Troll
ley system and Charleston CONNER
cial club, lawyer and capitalist, Chair
man Of the State board of equalization,
had today before the Supreme Court
his opportunity of vindicating himself
from charges brought by a decree Of
Judge Aldrich, imputing to him fraud
in the securing from aged Miss Mary
Lawrence a release Of her share in
the estate of her deceased half broth
er, DR.. Joseph Lawrence in favor of
DR.. Lawrence's widow Mrs. Law
| renee recently compromised the case
| for $4,000 over the protest of Cad
sden.
Attorney w. c. Miller, appeared for
Gadsden. He relied for his evidence
in the printed record and filed a brief
on the facts prepared for him by at
tOrney Kennedy Bryan. Attorney
General Lyon, for the other side filed
a brief prepared for by him Attorney
Holman. Miller and Lyon both made
oral arguments.
Holman, the only witness, said that
if Gadsden was right in contending
that the consolidated stock was worth
nothing at the time of it's release,
other assets were worth $1,000. II
the case recently abandoned had sue
! ceeded instead Of being compromised
at $4,000, the plaintiff would have
received $4,000. The court will
most likely reserve its decision.

WATER PERFECTLY PURE.
Analysis by Richmond Chemist Con-

! If there is any lingering suspicion
IN the minds of any citizen of Sumter
that the city water supply is impure
and unfit to drink, it should be era
dicated, and the fears should be an
tirely allayed by the subjoined report
! of DR.. William II. Taylor, Of Rich

thirty years State Chemist Of Virginia.
and is recognized as one Of the ablest
and most learned chemists in the
country.
samples Of the water at the instance
of Mr.. S. w. Stubbs foreman of the
Grand Jury, who interested himself
| in the matter at the request OF a
number Of citizens, who were not
satisfied with the several analyses and
reports made on the water by Dr. E.
f. Parker, Jr., of Charleston, chem
ist Of the State Board Of Health. The
analysis by DIR. Taylor gives results
almost identical with those obtained
by DR.. Parker and his opinion as to
the purity and healthfulness of the
water coincide with that of DR.. Park
| er. Thus there should remain no
| doubt Of the purity of our water sup
| ply. The fact is the water of Sumter
| is purer and better than that Of ninety

| ments made years ago by DR.. Rs.venel,

| that the Sumter water was among
| the purest and best he had ever ex-

the water have put themselves to

LIES GARDEN

We we're very particular about the
kind of seeds we put in our garden,
but not all the plants that start are
from our sowing. The wind carried
some seed from far-oR field where
weeds grew rank all last summer.
These weeds, although you never saw
them. and were not to blame Tor them
growing in your garden. will make
trouble for you It permitted to grow
and multiply.
ltis the same way with the weeds
of charactar, which we will name
faults. Sometimes a person will think
that his failinss or faults do not matter
to other p 9ople, but only to themselves,
which is a great mistake. The
breezes which we call influence are
continually waiting seed from one
heart to another, and one garden gwen
up to weeds may make trouble for a
great many people beside the owner.
