The remainder Of the money. up to
$4,000. will be borrowed as soon as
the corporation that will build tn,
Motel Is organized. AS little delay as
possible will be taken In doing this
80 that the hotel can be built In as
short space OF time as possible un-
der the circumstances. and as soon as
convenient with so large a structure
as the hotel Is expected to be.
No announcement OF the site of
the hotel can be made until the ho-
tel corporation is organized and votes
are cast for the location.
After all the best thing about the
matter for Sumter people is that the
hotel will be built.

PREDICTS CHEAPER SUGAR.
Effect of Reduction Of Sugar Tariff.
Says Atkins.

Washington, June ia reduction
of the sugar bill of the American peo-
pie was predicted by Edward Atkins,
head Of the American Sugar Refining
Company, as a result IF the reduction
OF the tariff on raw sugar, in testi-
mony he gave to the House special
sugar committee. Raw sugar on the
free list, he said, would result in driv-
ing many sugar beet producers in the
United States out Of business and
badly crippling the >ans producers.
All efforts to get the witness to fix a
point to which the market might
stand were frutless
Mr.. Atkins said that his COMPANY
had not discussed the subject of
prices formally, and he could not ans
wer questions along that line.

The old saying. 'If you want a
thing done, do it yourself" seems to
apply to building a hotel, as We'll as
most other things. The manner in
which the Gresfams have fallen down
on their own proposition to build a
$4,000 hotel in Sumter, on condi-
ton that the business men Of SUM
ter subscribe for $4,000 in bonds Of
the hotel company, which condition
was promptly complied with, seems to
prove that If Sumter is to have a
modern hotel Sumter will have to
build it.

DEPUTIES HAVE RETURNED.
Party Bring One Prisoner and One
Prisoner is Missing.
From The Daily Item, June 16.

From The Daily Item, June 16.
Deputies j. S. Sykes and II. d. G..
Muldrow blew in last night about )
o'clock on a northwest wind from
Charleston, where they have been
spending the first part of this week
in attendance upon the Federal court,
which is in session at that place.
Deputy Muldrow has been on an ex-
tended trip, during which he has
visited Jacksonville. Fla, Savannah.
Ca, and Charleston. Mr.. Sykes did not
make quite such an extended trip,
having only taken i'm Savannah and
Charleston in his itinerary, but from
reports sent out from one of those
places. it is to be supposed that his
trip was much pleasanter and gayer.
With the two deputies was Gus
Cooper, the negro barber who skip
ped out just before his case came up
fall. and who. incidentally. skipped
his bail. but was discovered few
days ago in Savannah by his bonds
man. Willie Michau, the escaped
convict, who started out from jack
sonville with Mr.. Muldrow for a trip
TO Sumter. decided that he did not
want to come back to Sumter after
all, so he left the train and Mr.. Null
drow without taking the trouble TO
say goodbye.
1t seems from what can be learned
that after Mr.. Muldrow was last seen
in Savannah by Mr.. III. T. Edens, he
had gone on the next day to Charles
ton where he was wanted as a witness
in a case coming up in the federal
court. Here he hung around for
four days waiting for his case to come
up. when 1t was finally continued un-
ill later sitting of the court. Dur
ing the trip from Savannah to Char
lesion Michau, who is a notorious
character and famous for escaping
from jails and guards made a flying
leap from the train as it was going
about twenty-five miles an hour and
was seen no more by his captor.
OF Mr.. Sykes. little could be learn
ed, save 1T was stated that he had a
sprained foot. possibly caused by
some slip while at Tybee, Thunder
bolt or while in bathing at the Isle
Of Palms. Despite his rough treat
ment in Savannah, at the hands Of
the police and other parties, he was
none the worse for wear and was
able to be in the. sheriff's office today
as usual.
Gus Cooper came along with him
and was safely lodged in Jail last
night

duty Of naming collectors IF internal
revenue, United States marshals and
postnlasters of the second and third

tors that nothing which congress
could do would be received more
gladly by him than this act. He would
be happy, he said, if congress would
extend the civil service law to include
such offices. Practically every post
up to the grade of United States dis
trict attorney. the president told his
callers, should be put under the civil
service regulations.
He has recommended such action
to congress in past messages and said
he expects to make similar recon-
