SHRINER'S CLUB GETS BUSY.

The people Of Sumter will see or
Thanksgiving Day things such as
they have never seen before, for at
that time the members of Omar
Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order
of the Mystic Shrine will have charge
of the city and under their dominion
strange customs will prevail, former
things and former order of things will
pass away for the time, and knights
will come out of the desert, march
ing their fresh meat over its parch-
ing sands, and, hearkening to the
call Of the Supreme POtentate,
and the clans will gather to perform
those mysterious rites, which their
VOWS, spoken at the Mystic Shrine,
require yearly of all true and noble
knights.
The Shriners' meeting here will be
the biggest thing that has ever come
to Sumter. More than eight hundred
OF them are expected for the occas-
ion and they will more than let Sum-
ter know they are here" The Sum-
ter Shrine Club will act as host for
the occasion and they have already
staged most elaborate plans for the
entertainment of the visitors. Just
what they will do, they are not yet
ready to say. but it will show the
visitors "a few things" about enter
will begin to arrive one or two days
ahead of time, but Thank sgiving is
the day of days. Bands ard orches-
tras will make day and night melO-.
dious with their music; costumes such
as were never seen before; parades
and stunts on the street form but
small part Of what is to be expected.
In fact the shriners are smiling up
their sleeves and saying, "Wait and
see." 1t will be something big, but
what?
The list Of committees appointed
to prepare for the entertainment of
visitors which has been published
heretofore, indicates in measure
the elaborate plans for entertainment
which the shriners are preparing
These plans were gone into in detail
at meeting Of the Sumter Shrine
Club which was held few days ago
and everything seems to be moving
along very smoothly at the present
time.
The entertainment wi! be provided
by Omar Temple with all additional
costs and entertainments being pro-
vided for out Of the pockets Of the To-
cal shrine club.

Mrs. ID. w. Bullock, which occurred
at the family home, No. 500 North

His condition had been critical for

cover. The bereaved family have the
tender sympathy of a host OF friends
in this hour of sorrow.
The funeral will be held this after

He was most gentle and lovable
man, counting his friends by the
scores. He was entirely unselflsh
and walked among men with open
hands to the poor, the afflicted and
the unfortunate of every class. Bub-
bling over with humOr and always
sunny hearted he had a kind word
for every brother pilgrim travelling
with him over life's pathway. To be
kind and thoughtful of others was
the law Of his life. and he faced death
with the calm assurance that no ha1
not made II hard to die by having
made IL hard for others to live.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Gas stock was not largely dealt in at
the meeting of the Stock Exchange to-
day. But the trading done in the Sc
curity, however. was on a higher level.
as the stock sold for IS. The bid Of So
was withdrawn before the close. but was
renewed after the call. The rising mar
ket in the case of this stock is attributed
to the condition Of the business shown in
the annual report and the satisfaction OF
the stockholders in the conduct of the
company, which is construed to be their
attitude because of the unanimous cleo
ton of directors yesterday. 1t is thought
the same officers will be reelected at the
meeting of the board of directors.
The bid for the rights of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company was
so cents per share. while the asking price
was Is cents.
