WHEATLEY and
SHEPPARD Will
BE CANDIDATES
AGAIN TO REPRESENT SUMTER
Present Members Are Thus
Prevailed Upon

The fact that Sumter's present able
representatives in the House have
yielded to the overtures of their large
number Of friends and constituents in
Sumter, and will offer for reelection
at the democratic primary on 18th
inst, is matter of very general con-
graduation, and that these expert
enced and able legislators will be
very strongly supported need not be
said here, though they did not seek
the honors that would be rendered
them.
Neither Messrs. Sheppard or Wheat
ley expected to offer again, but such
was the pressure brought to bear up
on them to this end that they could
not decline, and friends here have
formally announced their candidacy.
Both Messrs. Wheatley and Sheppard
have had long experience in the halls
of legislation, and their work at the
current session of the general as
sembly has won for them the hearty
commendation, not only of their con-
stituents, but of the state-at-large.
Sheppard's child labor bill and Wheat
ley's bill providing for a lieutenant
governor are perhaps the most import
ant measures passing the House az
this session.
Both are at the post of duty at the
capital, but with their interest in the
hands of their constituents at home
they will be strongly supported in the
primary on 18th inst

EARL COOPER SHAW
SENTENCED YEARS

Charles H. Shaw, who claimed that
he was almost forced to impersonate
Earl Cooper because every one in
Imperial imagined that he was the
famous automobile racer, and during
the subterfuge cashed several checks
with the use of Cooper's name, did
not receive probation yesterday from
Judge Franklin ]. Cole, but instead
was given three years in San Quen-
tin.
Shaw gave many excellent refer
ences and number of his friends
made personal appeals to Judge Cole,
but the court believed that Shaw did
not merit a suspended sentence on
account of the defendant having been
in the same trouble before and that
his habits were such that he would be
better off in the penitentiary than if
given his liberty.

cient evidence had been shown to
show an offense.
Attorney Dan V. holland, for the
defendant, made an eloquent plea, but
Judge West decided that Davis must
face trial on the charge. Davis is
still out on the $4,000 bail bond, be-
ing engaged in business at Los An
geles. Faubion, who was fined 5000
for his part in the affair, is now at

SENTENCES BEGAN
FEBRUARY 3RD

T. Meza Salinas and Alphonso y
Pecina were rather inclined to be jul
bilant this morning at their apart
ments in the county Jail when it was
learned that they had already com
pleted about half their suspended SEN
tences given by Recorder R. l.. Glasby
of Calexico. The recorder fined them
5000 each for disturbing the peace
and, like the sword of Damocles, hung
ninety days over their heads.
Salinas and Pecina were hopeful
that the celebrated writ of habeas
corpus would give them their free
dom, but when it was denied they re-
turned to the Jail feeling somewhat
disheartened, being under the impress
sion that the ninety days would have
to be served after the writ was de-
MED.
District Attorney Phil d. Swing
stated this morning that the begin
ming of the suspended sentence start
ed on February 3 and that about the
oath of April the Mexicans would be
free.

early stage experience in E. II. Soth-

in leading roles with the best east
ern stock companies. When the west
ern company was organized for the
Walter play, the attention of the man
agement was called to this young ae-
tress by an eastern dramatic critic and
she was engaged for this most diff

one is satisfactorily proved by the
praise critics have showered upon her
She has youth, beauty and ability Of

'DAMON AND PYTHIAS"
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

No play could be more dramatic
and fraught with more intense inter-
est than is damon and Pythias."
From the rise of the curtain until
the final great scene, situation upon
situation holds the audience with a
tenseness not often witnessed in the
theatre The portrayal of the great
emotions is most absorbing to an au-
dience and those plays which have
proven to be great successes have Of
fered opportunities for such acting.
The great motif of this drama is the
friendship of Damon and Pythias.
Such friendship as theirs is one that
stirs the heart of man to better things.
Pythias gives himself up as hostage
for Damon, that Damon may have
few hours in which to see his wife
and child ere he is executed by the
command of the tyrant Dionysius, and
even places himself on the scaffold,
asserting his readiness to die in his
lIleIlu StSdu, WIlCil az titC
time it seems that Damon will not
return-but Damon does return just
in time to save his friends life, and
this situation is of such sublimity
that it moves the heart of the cold
tyrant Dionysius and he pardons Da-
mon and gives him back his life. The
local lodge of Knights of Pythias will
offer this great and stirring drama
of friendship for two nights, Thurs
day and Friday, April 2 and 3, at the
Holt opera house. Every effort has
been put forth to make this produc-
ton meritorius one and the cast
that has been selected is one of ex-
treme excellence. Scenically the pro-
duction will be perfect in every de-
tail-a scenic artist having been a.
work for some time preparing seem

EXTREMELY COSTLY

According to a report from the

bugs that destroy alfalfa, cantaloupes,

100000.

dread aphis which attacks cantaloupes
and barley. The infection of the aphis
has not been dangerous this year, but
Mr.. Waite believes in prevention in
preference to eradication after the
evil has developed.
The commissioner, together with
his assistant, Murray Slower, has
been engaged in distributing lady
birds for the past ten days, with ex-
cellent results reported when the vo-
racious bugs began preying on the
