The organization Of Boy Scouts is
attracting attention throughout An

is being waged for membership. Two
of the leading publications o. Ameri-
ca. have very recently given a
very conspicuous position 70 The dis
cussion Of this important topic.
The organization deserves Eli tf the
attention that it is now receiving. Fos
a number Of years 1 have been very
much interested in. this movement
and haze noticed its effect upon the
boys with feeling of great pleasure.
Properly conducted, the organization
IS so designed as to bring out the man. ll
liest qualities Of boys and yollIg. men. es
:: The only Troop that Sumter now has
is doing excellent work In every way.
1t seems. therefore. that other troops
should be organized at once: should
| like to see at least two additional
troops organized-one composed of
the smaller boys and anothec of the
larger boys of the school.
There is much in this organizat ton
to appeal to the natural instinct OF
boyhood, and it has been so carefully
thought ont, and so. effectively prac-
ticed, that the benefits that accrue
| from the organizat ton .seem to be alto
gether Wholesome.
7 sincerely trust that the boys and
young men of the whole city will give
the attention to this organization
which it SO richly deserves. It should
certainly have the best wishes of all
who, are really Interested in our boys

morning, SO a special jury was en-

3:30 D. IN. Mr. aCarrigan, Of the police
force, was the first witness and resti-
fed that his attention was attracted
|about $50 yeterday morning by Mr..

continued to blow until Mr.. Randle

more autos abe: of Mr.. Randle,s go
ing the same direction. =
The defendants witnesses were next
called. Asbury Davis, a negro porter,
who works for DR.. Mitchell at his
store, said he noticed that Mr.. Randle
was blowing his horn for a wagon in
front Of him to get out of the way.
Mr.. Gillespie, of the L. S. Woolen Mills
testified that the blowing he heard
wastnots out Of the ordinary.
Mr.. Curtis. who works for Mr..

in the store when Officer Carri-
gan and Chief of Police Barwick
were there and said he heard Car
rigan tell Barwick that Randle would
neither be arrested or, put up bond
and that he was then taken to the city
hall.
I Mr.. Randle testified that he did not
blow his horn to an excess or unnec-

on in front of him. After both sides
had argued the. case the jury retired
and brought back a verdict Of not
guilty.
