negro driver became frightened and
before the driver could check them
they had run against Mr. Muldrow's
buggy, the tongue Of the double bug
gy striking him in the side and knock
ing him out Of his buggy.
The other horses were at once
stopped and Mr.. Muldrow was car
ried into Kings Cigar store where he
was examined by DIR. Archie China.
He was later carried home where he
went to bed. 1t was thought at first
that he was seriously injured, but
later in the day Mr.. Muldrows son
stated his father was only bruised in
the side where the buggy tongue had
struck him and that he was getting
on nicely.

SMALL POX NEAR THE CITY.
Negro woman said TO Have the Small
FOX Living North Of Morris Col

lnOts

case OF small poX has been report
ed to the county supervisor as being
just outside Of the city limits in Il
negro house few houses north Of
Morris college.
1t is said that the negro moved to
his present house from some part CT
of Lee county and that soon after he
had settled down in the house he now
occupies his wife broke out with the
disease. Steps were at once taken
to have all living in the same house
vaccinated and this morning a special
officer was sent out to Morris college
TO Vaccinate all Of the pupils at that
place.
All possible measures are being
taken to prevent the disease reaching
the city and as there is no pest house
in the county this is by no means an
easy job. However, it is probable that
with the present vaccination epidemic
going on that only a few persons in
the city, if any, will be left to be at
tackled by the disease.

MARK TWAIN ON ROOSEVELT.

New York, Feb. 4.-Books that

were written by Samuel l.. Clemens.
Mark Twain,) collected here for dis
pOsal at auction at an early date, are
found to contain some indications Of
the late authors method Of work. An
interesting and comparatively recent
document refers to Col. Theodore
Roosevelt.
One of the early manuscripts is a
page Of notes for an outline of a por-
ton Of the story Of Tom Sawyer.
Among the other manuscripts is
one described as IAN article on the
inauguration of President Taft" and
the deliverance Of the country from
Mr.. Roosevelt" dated March 6, 1909.

notice to all members of the boys corn
club and those boys who expect to
join the club during the coming year.
Mr.. Haynsworth is very anxious to
have the work begin at once so that
everything will be in readiness long
before the time comes to plant corn
and that the boys who go into the
work may have plenty of time to pre-
pare their land and map out their plan
Of work for the year.

charge of the government farm work
In this State, was in the city Friday

tivation of corn.

worth is here given,

Club will hold It's first meeting for

interesting and profitable work among

ty wants to be at the head when the

POPULATION BY WARDS.
Additional Information Relative
to Census of Sumter.

The plan to take special census of
this city seems TO be held in abey-
ance for the present and the indica-
tons are that the inaccurate and OBJ
Jectionable official census will be per-
mitted to stand. since Director Durand
takes the position that the figures
cannot now be changed, even though
proof should be laid before him that
the official census is incorrect.
The following additional informa-
ton obtained from census bureau rela-
tive to the population will be Of in
terest. For Wards l and the Off
cial flgures gave the total population
and the white and negro population
OF each ward. For Wards and
only the totals are given. 1t will be
seen that according to the official
figures Ward 2 has only 10 more in
habitants than Ward 8, which, if true
Is most surprising and unexpected
state OF affairs. The general impress
sion is that Ward has at least 500
If not 1000 more inhabitants than
Ward 3.

THE LAZY GOLD
|. OF UNCLE SAM
THIS COUNTRY NOW REALIZING
THAT GREATEST AMOUNT OF
GOLD DOES NOT NECESSARILY
MEAN GREATEST FINANCIAL
STRENGTH.
Special to The Journal.

New York, Nov. 1S.-While the
average person would probably refuse
to believe that the possession of a
billion dollars did not mean the highest
sort of financial safety, this country
is rapidly being forced into the sur
prising realization that this is exactly
the case. Today Uncle Sam is the
possessor of the greatest gold hoard in
the world, amounting approximately to
eleven thousand million dollars in gold
coin and bullion. This hoard is greater
than that of England, France and
Germany combined, the latest figures
giving England about 100000, 600,
France $600,000,000 and Germany
$270, 000, 900.
So far as the question of gold en-
tiers into the matter the United States
would seem to be the wealthiest and
most secure of all these countries. As
a matter of actual business it is not.
Indeed it might well be termed the
poorest, for its gold considered in II e
light of a laborer is lazy. It does not
work nearly as efficiently as the small
Ter amounts of foreign money in its
duties of preserving credit and imam
cial stability. Just as we have the
highest class of human labor on earth,
we have also the lowest class of gold
labor, if efficiency be measured by the
results achieved. Germany's gold,
S27e, 900, 600, is for instance far more
efficient than our own of four times
that amount. And so anomalous as it
may seem it is not always the country
with the most gold which is fnan-
ciaIIy most solid. OF course if the
manner in which the gold is handled
under similar conditions were the
same, this would not be SO and this
country is therefore now faced with
the necessity of putting its gold to
work in the most up-to-date manner
| that is, to apply to it the same prin-
ciples of scientific management which
| have made American laboring mer
| and American factories the admira-
| ton of the world.
