BETTER ROADS
TO ENJOY LONGER RIDES
Bad Weather Damages Are
Being Repaired

Americas motorists are awaiting the
necessary repairs upon Sumter's hi
therto good roads in order that they
may again speed over the county, a
weeks.
The heavy rains, long continued,
early in January did so much damage
to the roads that motoring is done
now under difficulties that render Il
ride anything but enjoyable. The
road to Plains and that to Ellaville
are open the entire distance, but the
other seven highways out of Americas
are still blocked by washouts, lost
bridges and culverts.
AS steel bridges are to be erected
on the Leslie, Lee street and Smith,
Vile roads. it will be some time yet
ere these fine and favorite highways
are put in their former excellent con-
Iition. Sumter has force ont con-
ricts sufficiently large to repair all
he damaged roads in three or four
months, if only fair weather in which
to haul and place the dirt upon the
broken places, can be had.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE probe
which the Georgia railroad commits
sion is going to drive into the South
ern Express cOmpany's business in
Georgia is now beginning to take def
mite shape. Chairman Gambler and
Rate Expert Webster, who spent last
week in Washington at the express
rate hearing before the interstate COM
merce commission, made an informal
report of their observations to the
state commission Thursday.
The commission is now engaged III
the conclusion of thorough investi-
cation of the matter, and has accum-
ulated mass of detailed information.
The thoroughness of its work seems
to indicate that the Georgia board is
not only going to inquire into the
PA ctSIACNo, oCI WIG anu COlluuSI vi IlAC
company, but will try to ascertain #
the cOmpany's intrastate business in
Georgia has not contributed pretty
largely to the earnings shown by its
reports. Last year the companys re-
ports show, it paid its stockholders a
cash dividend of 116 per cent. The
company's capital stock is represent
ed by interest shares and not in
dollars.
The company's reply to the Georgia
commissions inquiry as to how mucn
ctsh capital. had been paid in by the
stockholders, was that mo living per-
son knows" The company's property
used in it's entire business, is valued
at $1,000,232.
For months the commission thru
its rate expert has been engaged ia
gathering additional information from
other state commissions, and especial
ly from those like Minnesota, Louis
lana, Illinois and Indiana, which have
just completed exhaustive investiga-
tons into express service and rates ii
their states.
The Georgia intrastate base rates
as now established, are not so much
complained against as the interstate
rates.
The commission will consider the
following complaints, as soon as It
finishes it's present preliminary wOrq
1t is complained that overcharges
occur by the thousands.
These overcharges are generally
small when taken individually and
consequently thousands of shippers
submit to them without complaint.
The aggregate of all these overcharges
amount to very large sums.

COLD STEEL FOR
KNIGHT ERRANT
New Yorker Who Aids Maiden in
Distress Gets Stabbed for
His Pains.
SHE THEN DISAPPEARS

New York. July 2s-William Schwartz,
twenty years old. Of y Powers Street,
Williamsburg, is not especially fascinated
by the role of knight errant. which he
essayed early to-day, for II netted him
only a sharp fight and a stab wound in
the shoulder. while the pretty girl to aid
whom he tired the romantic role. disap-
peared in the excitement without his be-
ing able to learn her name.
Schwartz, who had spent Saturday
night with a party Of friends, started
from Long Island City toward Williams
burg early to-day. The street cars were
running irregularly. and he decided to
walk. He was making short cuts
wherever he could find an open lot and
when in Meeker Avenue, near Newton
Street, a very pretty young girl, hand
somely dressed. hurried UP to him IN
great excitement and begged him to pro-
tect her.
She told Schwartz that she had been
at birthday party and was on her way
home when she discovered that two men
Were following her. Schwartz assured
her first there was no danger that he
would protect her and suggested that
she walk with him.
They hardly had gone 100 feet when
two men jumped from a clump of bushes
One seized Schwartz and the other his
companion. The girl screamed. Schwartz
troke the hold OF his man and managed
to land a hard blow on his chin. The
man dropped and Schwarts at once
turned to the rescue OF the girl, who
was screaming and struggling In the
grasp OF the second man.
blow made the man release the
frightened girl who was still screaming,
but before hostilities could go any fur.
Their the man Schwartz had knocked
down crawled to his feet and drawing a
knife from his pocket drove II into
Schwartzs left shoulder.
Almost as the men disappeared Police
man Carlin. OF the Herbert Street sta
ton, who had been attracted by the
girls screams, hurried up. Schwartz told
him of the encounter. and after summon
ing an ambulance TO care for Schwartz
the policeman searched for the assail-
ants.
DIR. Hudson arrived in an ambulance
from st. GATHERINGS Hospital and. after
dressing the wound in Schwartz's Shout
der. allowed him to go home. Schwartz
looked around for the girl and discovered
that she had disappeared. He went to
the Herbert Street station TO make 4
more complete report of his adventure.
and then went home. sadly rejecting on
the folly Of going to aid pretty girls at
night.

No water was found In her lungs. nor
were there any marks of violence on the

according to the physician, probably was
inflicted by a passing vessel A blue
and white bandana handkerchief, found
stuffed SO far down the little throat that
forceps had TO be used in extracting 1t,

DR.. wuest pronounced the case as

street when they went to their homes to
supper.
Mrs. Barsuto, mother Of the little girl,
is near death from the shock of the find

physicians who are attending her, she has
but few hours to live. and with her will
go out of the world another life. for she
would have become the mother Of another
child within a month.

Although the Navy Department has as

is understood to be much rivalry among
several fair candidates. Names that

of Miss Gaynor. daughter of the Mayor:
Miss Elsie Calder. daughter of Repre-
sentative Calder of Brooklyn. and Miss
O'Gorman daughter of the Junior Sem

ment Is likely to leave the delicate task
of selecting a sponsor to Gov. DIX OF
New York. A precedent for this was
established in the case of the battleship
Florida. the Governor of that State nam
ing the candidate. In the case of the
battleship Texas, Col. Cecil Lyon, the
Republican national committeeman, was
asked to name the sponsor, and he Sc
lected his young daughter. Between the
time of the selection and the launching
o. the ship, the break between Lyon and
the Taft administration occurred. but
Miss Lyon christened the ship. never
theless. II the selection should be made
at the Navy Department. Representative
Calder's daughter is regarded as having
an excellent chance. II Gov. Dix chooses
the sponsor, Miss O'Gorman and Miss
Gaynor Will be regarded as favorites.

|PAPAL LEGATION
| CONFIRMS REPORT.
Pope Plus Has Repealed Part Of
Decree Efecting Marriages
and Children.
ST. LOUIS COURTS RULE
CONTRACT NOT BINDING
The Repeal Goes Into Effect I'm.
mediately and Action Will
Conciliate Many.

The Papal Legation here yesterday
confirmed the report that marriages be-
tween Protestants and members of the
Roman faith will be sanctioned by the
church without requiring a pre-nuptial
agreement to the effect that the chill
dren of such marriages shall be bap-
tized in the Catholic Church and edu-
Gated in Catholic schools and semi
naries.
Pope Plus has repealed that portion Of
his decree of Easter. 1908. designated Ne
temere." which made 1t obligatory upon
the Catholic party contracting for mar
riage to a Protestant, that he or she
first receive from the consort of the
other faith a pledge to rear the children
resulting from the marriage in the Ro-
man faith; and. further. pledge to refrain
from interfering with the performance of
religious duties by the Catholic consort
Before the repeal Of this church statute,
Catholic priests were forbidden to per-
form mixed marriages without first OBJ
tanning this signed agreement under PEN
atty Of accommodation, and. should the
Catholic party to the marriage contract
consent to performance of the ceremony
by a Protestant minister in circumvention
of the Pope's fiat. the wrath of the church
was visited upon the head of its delin-
quent member by excommunication.
Caused Contention.
The Ne temere" portion OF the Pope's
Easter decree. predetermined the faith
CT the unborn children of all mixed mar
riages made within the Church's sphere
Of influence. 1t is claimed that this law
created much bitter contention within
the Church, that conscience often pre-
vented obedience to the decree and that
many communications were made nee
essary.
In Europe the decree furnished a theme
of acrimonious attack by anti-Catholic
political factions. In America, church
authorities say, 1t also caused great
deal Of enmity and discord.
The Court Of Appeals of St. Louis. in
which city the issue developed into large
proportions. recently held that the pre-
nuptial contract demanded by the Roman
Church had no binding force before the
temporal laws.
The repeal will go Immediately into
force. and dignitaries of the Roman
faith in America feel that this concil-
atory step will result greatly to the ad-
vantage of the American branch OF the
church.

Upton, Of Bloomfield, and her twelve

hospital STAFF. consisted of the caesarian
operation. Before that. however. the
hazardous resource OF blood TRANSMISSION
was necessary, and again after the birth
of the child a second interfusing of life
bloods was deemed essential
Mrs. Upton was so weak when she was
brought TO the hospital that II was be-
lieved that her life and that of her I'M
born child would be sacrificed. Her hus-
bahd begged for a chance to aid his
wife.
a cot was rolled alongside the bed on
which Mrs. Upton lay, weak and gasp
ing, and when surgeons had somewhat
assuaged the hemorrhages. which had
caused the trouble. Lipton's right arm
was lanced. and for thirty minutes his
heart pumped the life-saving fluid from
husband to wife. Then Mrs. Upton was
hurried to an operating table, where the
surgeons performed the caesarian opera
ton. Soon the Upton family was re-
ported as doing well. However, to make
positive that Mrs. Upton would suffer no
relapse and that she might recover per-
from her ordeal, more blood
from her husbands arteries was infused
into her veins. and then both were
taken to cots in the main ward.
