SYNOPSIS.

-
Adele la Chesnayne. a belle of New
France, Is forced into marriage with
Commissaire Cassion. henchman OF
Governor La Barre, who Is plotting to
gust La Sale and his garrison from the
frontier Fort st. Louis. on the Illinois
river. Adele had overheard the plotters
say she had inherited a great fortune
from her father and they had kept 1t
from her. La Barre and Cassion learned
OF the girls knowledge-thus the MARI
riage- ard the hurried departure OF Cas-
sion and q company for Fort St. Louis.
The bride refuses to share sleeping
quarters With her husband. She has
but one friend, young Rene d'Artigny,
q guide. He is chary of helping her.
Chevst the. girls uncle, one Of the par
ty, is found murdered. A fierce storm
scatters aid wrecks the boats. Adele is
rescued by D'Artigny. They learn they
had thought one another guilty OF
Chevet's murder. Adele loves her res
cuer. They hide from a search party and
with new found friend, Barbeau, pro-
coed overland toward Fort St. Louis.

we succeed in getting through the In
dian lines-I shall be again among my
old comrades and shall be no longer
servant to Francois Cassion. shall
stand before him a man, an equal,
ready to prove myself with the

"No, monsieur" I burst forth, ''that
must not be; for my sake you will not

'For your sake? You would HAYS
me spare himT
"Oh, why do you put It thus, mon
sieur! 1t Is so hard for me to ex-
plain. You say you love me, and
and the words bring me joy. Az, con.
fess that. But do you not see that
blow from your hand struck at Fran
co.'s Cassion would separate us for
ever? Surely that is not the end you
seek. would not have you bear af-
front longer, yet no open quarrel will
serve to better our affairs. Certainly
no clash of swords. Perhaps 1t can
not be avoided, for Cassion may so
insult you when he sees us together,
as to let his insolence go beyond re-
straint. But beg of you, monsieur.
to hold your hand, to restrain your
temper-for my sake"
you make it trial, testT"
"Yes-it is a test. But, monsieur,
there is more involved here than mere
happiness. You must be cleared of
the charge of crime, and must learn
the truth of what caused my mar
riage. Without these facts the future
can hold out no hope for either Of us.
And there is only one way in which
this end can be Accomplishments con-
fession by Cassion. He alone knows
the entire story of the conspiracy, and
there IS but one way in which he can
be induced to talk"

G. OF c. ACTIVITIES.
Number Of Matters Considered ut the
Meeting Monday Aftcrnoon-Want
Men to Drill-WDuld Move jail
Want Causeway Over Watercc-
Would Restore Pullman.

The Chamber of Commerce had a
very interesting meeting OF its direc-
tors on Monday afternoon, when a
Number Of matters of general interest
to the community were discussed
Among these matters were prepared
ness. the providing Of railroad con-
|veniences, the need Of building up the
Garner's Ferry and the removal of
the county Jail to another site.
The meeting heartily endorsed q
resolution offered that the business
men of Sumter givo their employees
opportunity to attend drills of the To-
cal militia company and encourage
their employees to become members of
the company, If they have not already
joined. Drills are held regularly on
Monday nights and each man present
gets one dolllr per drill.
The Chamber of Commerce dis
cussed the matter of restoring the
Pullman coach on the Charleston
Columbia A. c. L. trains and the Sec
retary was instructed to take the mat
ter up with the commercial organiza-
tions Of Charleston and Columbia to
aid the Sumter organization in restor-
ing this convenience for the travelling
public.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
LENNON Hardy and Booth was ap-
pointed to consult with the Jail COM
mission concerning the removal of
the jail from the present location to
some other site. 1t was considered
best to have this done before the new
jail was built. Supervisor Pitts stated
that the act, as passed, carried the
provision that the new Jail be built on
the same lot, but it was urged by
members Of the Chamber that some
action be taken towards it's removal.

From the Daily Item, June 13.
A plant of some considerable size
will soon be placed in operation by
Sumter business men, who have pc
titioned the secretary Of State to is
sue them a commission for the pro-
posed enterprise, which will be known
as the Southern Clay Company and
and will have a capital stock of $751;
600. The petitioners for the commits
sion are A. c. Phelps. r. l.. Wright
and e. M. Hall, all Of Sumter, which
will be the head office Of the plants.
The Sumter gentlemen have pur-
chased out the holdings at Blaney, a
point on the Seaboard Air Line be-
tween Columbia and Camden, and at
James Crossing, near Horrelps HILL
a point on the Coast Line between
Sumter and Columbia, of parties who
have been operating kaolin plants at
those places. The new concern will
mine the kaolin at these places and
will deal in crude and refined clay,
disposing of their products at various
manufacturing plants throughout the
country.
Heretofore the plants at these places
have been worked in manner by
their former owners, but have not
been successful. The new owners ex-
pect to operate them on a much larger
scale and as they are experienced and
successful business men, IL is very
probable that they will make a success
out Of the undertaking.
Mr.. Phelps stated this morning that
the Maynard-Simmons company of
Atlanta had been secured as the con-
struction architects and engineers for
the plants. but the superintendent
had not yet been decided upon. The
new concerns will begin their opera
tions on the new scale as soon as
they can secure their charter and at
tend to all Of the numerous details
connected with the beginning of such
an enterprise.

/ CALL TO STATE MILITIA,
MANNING POINTS OUT THAT
THERE MAY BE CALL TO
SERVICE.
Officers Believe South Carolina Nat.
iOnal Guard May be Ordered Out for
Patrol Duty ON Mexican Border.

Columbia, June 13.-In an executive
order issued yesterday Gov. Man
ming called attention to the possibil-
ity of call of the National Guard
and the need of company commanders
recruiting their organizations up to
the authorized strength.
In view Of the situation on the bor-
der the order is construed by guard
officials to mean that the services of
the National Guard Of South Carolina
may soon be needed for patrol duty on
the Mexican boundary line.
Gov. Mannings oru~r Is as follows:
I'm view OF tho probable call for
the mobilization OF the National Guard
and naval militia Of South Caroline
for service in the near future, deem
it of the utmost Importance that the
officers and enlisted men in this State
begin at once and in earnest, active
preparations for increasing the
strength and efficiency Of the severa
commands.
II do not believe that the citizen.
and soldiers Of any State in the Unior
are more loyal and patriotic thar
those of South Carolina, and should
the call come, 1t Is my desire that tn,
organizations from this State make tn,
best showing by being the first t.
notify the president Of our readiness
and preparedness both in men ant
eficiency. to respond to the call o.
duty in defense OF our national honor
| II desire this order read in tn,
presence Of each company and divi
sion and that the men be impressed
with the urgent desirability and neces
sity for prompt, patriotic and enthu
siastic action looking to increasing tn,
stength and efficiency Of the Soutl
Carolina National Guard and nava
