During the last week painters ana

During the last week painters ana
carpenters were steadily at work
in the city court room at the rear
of the city hall "freshening things
up 4 bit" and truly they have
worked q reformation on the old
place. The railing which Sepa-
rated the business end of the court
from the spectator end has been
moved back some ten feet which
will now allow much more freedom
for the lawyers in all their elo-
ouence and gesticulations and will
aso reduce the chances OF tn"
wheels Of justice becoming in any
manner blocked for the lack OF
turning room. The comfortable
spectator seats have been reduced
from four tiers to TWO but their
same seating capacity has been
maintained. The whole room has
been gone over With good heavy
coats Of white paint which makes
the old place look like new. The
seats, ratings, and other trim
mings are in green. The place GER
tainly does look fine and Sumter
can now be the boaster Of an ideal
court room for the handling o! its
city cases.
In commemoration Of the first
court held since the renovation Of
the court room began. the sum Of
$235 was taken in this morning.
The charges were the usual run Of
whiskey. disorderly conduct. con-
cealed weapons, etc. Pretty good

Three years ago the Republicans.
in the middle of President Wilson's
second term, won the House and
go, control of the Senate through
bribery-the bribery being in Mich
igan. where n seat was purchased
for Truman II. Eewberry. Then
they raised q great cry for the
President to summon Congress in
extra session so that they could do
something to help the soldiers, with
bonus legislation. provision for the
wounded. sick, insane and so on
so Wilson called Congress. In his
opening address. in April. 1919. he
asked Congress TO provide for the
soldiers and revise the tax laws.
which had been enacted in haste
in the wartime to provide money
TO carry on the war. AT first 1t
looked like Congress would ac-
0uiesce. but Boss Penrose took the
position that it you'd enable the
Republicans to elect president
