The County Board at it's meeting
Tuesday morning decided to issue
$4,000 Road Improvement bonds,
these being sold to Tillotson and Wat.
son Company of Cleveland Ohio,
at five per cent interest. The funds
secured by the sale of these bonds
Will be used in the construction of
steel and concrete bridges, chiefly on
streams crossing roads approaching
the city which are much used, and
in purchasing and laying terra Gotta
pipe for smaller streams in various
parts Of the county.
A petition for a new road from the
old Charleston road near Mrs. ALL
ston's place to Hagood was received
and the matter was referred to Super
visor Pitts to report back at the next
meeting Of the board.
Messrs. Folsom and Thompson ap.
peared before the board to request
that the license on agents selling eye
glasses in the county be increased
from $40 to $50 and an additional $40
paid to the person securing evidence
against the persons violating the law.
This request was refused, as the board
did not deem it advisable to Offer re-
wards to private parties, when the ru-
raj policemen and magistrates and
their cOnstables were empowered to
enforce laws against peddling.
A request for a telephone in the
Magistrates office at Sumter was re-
fused, as this would set a precedent
which the obard considered unwise.

STOLEN CAR RECOVERED.
Was Found on Oakland Avenue
About 10 O'clock Last Night.

From The Daily Item, March 2.
The Ford touring car stolen from
l. ID. Jennings on Sunday night was
recovered last night about 10 o'clock
on Oakland avenue, where 1t had
been left by the party or parties who
had stolen IT for a JOY ride. The car
was found by John Morris, a 15-year-
old white boy, who reported his dis
covery to Jim Burkett. who brought
the car up street to police headpuar..
ters. where 1t was turned over to
Mr.. Jennings. who was Immediately
notified Of the find.
The car had a broken radiator and
the muffier was badly damaged, but
otherwise 1t was in good condition.
When discovered the car had been
left only few minutes for the radia-
tor was still hot at the time. When
stolen the tank was well filled with
gasoline and 1t was learned yesterday
that a car answering the description
OF the stolen one was seen to pass
Horatio at very rapid rate OF speed
and later stopped at Hagood. where
gasoline was purchased. so the thieves
must have run the car over a consid.
erable distance in the time between
then and when II was stolen. Mr..
Jennings stated today that he had
information as to who were the
thieves and he was pushing the mat
ter in order to have them arrested be-
fore they got wind Of the fact.

VANDERBILT WILL
FILING DELAYED
Probate In Newport Would
Mean Big Saving by Avoid
ING Inheritance Tax.

The will Of Alfred c. Vanderbilt,
lost on the Lusitania. will not be filed
Tor probate until next week. II is not
improbable that when II is fled pro-
bate vii be asked in Newport, where
Mr.. Vanderbilt had his summer home,
Oakland.
The advantage OF fling in Newport
over New York, commonly believed 10
be the home Of the late Millionaire,
is that Rhode Island has no inheritance
tax. New York has. And on an estate
Of the size Of Mr. Vanderbilt's the
saving 20 be effected by filing in
Newport would in itself be A fortune.
The Will, according to persons in a
position TO know something OF the
affairs Of the testator. was signed lit
tie more than three years ago. Ander-
son G. AndersE, counsel for members
Of the Vanderbilt family for years, and
counsel for Alfred G. in his personal
affairs. are understood to have the
document in their custody.
As matters stand there is yet no
legal proof that Mr.. Vanderbilt is
dead. Before the will can be offered
there are many formalities TO be taken
care Of. The finding of the body
would reduce this work largely.
