Gus COOPER PAYS FINE.
Negro Who Was Brought Back From
savannah Is Set Free as Soon rs
Fine is Paid.

Gus Cooper. who was brought back
from Savannah a few days ago by
Deputy Sheriff Sykes, has paid his
fine and is now a free negro.
When the sealed sentence was
opened it was found that the two
cases amounted to $4,000 or five
months. Cooper at once paid the
money down and was allowed to go
free man.
The two cases against Cooper We're
tried last October at the fall term Of
court and a sealed verdict was left
to be opened as soon as Cooper was
caught and brought back to Sum
ter. he having taken himself off about
the time that his case came up
for trial.
Cooper was willing to come back
to Sumter when he was arrested in
Savannah and said so at the time, the
reason being that he had worked
hard while in Savannah at his trade
of barber-he being an excellent tom
serial artist-and had saved up
enough money to pay his fine when he
reached this place. The white pro-
prietor of the barber shop where he
was working expressed his willing
ness to pay Coopers fine at the time
that he was arrested

ing of the exposition may feel that
they have a place to go where they
can find the latest news from home.
The exposition management has prom
ed me to secure the services of some
Hawaiian youth as an assistant in
the bureau of publicity-to be paid
out of their regular funds-who will
be placed in immediate charge of the
Hawaii booth, which the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee will see is liber-
ally supplied with folders and other
advertising matter.

depended upon for holding a special
meeting of the commission the chair
man of the subcommittee on agricul-
ture, education, ETC., will be request
ed to meet with the commission for a
general consultation and further out
lining of plans.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
in my opinion the outlook favors the
most complete, unique and interest
ing exhibit of Hawai- that has ever
been presented to the public. I have
other suggestions to offer which l will
present later. Respectfully yours,
