help TO keep our state, county and

Perhaps our permanent Road
Commission and Our county Board
of Commissioners can help out by
me former doing everything pos
sible to have contractors employ

latter purchasing all hay and corn
,, and meal. "riSt office supplies.
from Sumter stores or from Sumter
county farmers. if prices are right
of course. Local stores and meat
markets should purchase home pro-
ducts from the farmers.
j Suppose merchants adopted the
simon pure, true. true ''patroniZe
home enterprise ideals and the
professional people also and our
farmers? Then would a grocer or
an attorney buy his clothing from
a New York or Columbia tailor
or should general dry goods mer-
chants, family send to New York
for their dress goodS-or send to
Charleston wholesale srocers for
his groceries or would farmer
either. Why should lawyer in
Sumter or merchant, or doctor,
or banker or a farmer or any
Sumter man buy his furniture from
foreign furniture store when he
can buy IT from or through SUM
ter furniture dealer. Why order
hardware for building from out Of
town concerns when you can buy
il from or through Il local hard
ware dealer. Should a real estate
dealer send off for locks, martelS.
doors, sash; blinds, paint. to put
in his house that he is building to
rent &c some clerk, bookkeeoer.
machinist or merchant who rents
this real estate dealers houses.
There is nothing YOU want that a
local dealer cannot order for you
and keep a good commission on
same in Sumter if he has not the
goods in stock. SO after all we
have. to some extent at least IN op-
portunity TO keep a lot Of Sumter
money in Sumter to furnish york
for many unemployed. But doing
all the building we possibly CAP
now and all the repairing. painting
whitewashing of out buildings and
back fences, ETC., will do lot
of good But spending Sumter
money in Sumter and Sumter cour-
ty money in Sumter county will do
more than anything to reduce the
probability Of more men and wo-
men being thrown out Of work.
There are too many unemployed
now. Don't make matters worse
by securing jobs in other cities for

Of the clergyman just four days be-
fore his death. was found today in
1.-THE office of Notary Belanser, and
disclosed that the Rev. Adelard
DeLorme was chief heir and ad-.
ministrator of the estate.
The hearing today. at which
Father DeLorne took the witness
stand and calmly related what he
knew Of his brothers movements on
ihn day preceding his death, was
filled with tense moments. The pub
lie was excluded. officials permit
ting only few newspaper men to
be present. The priest went over
the previous account he had given
of how the young man had left

when J. G. Walsh NJ. p. designated
by the attorney generals office to

ton the priest about his brothers
will which had been missing until

for the document.
Father DcLormc stated that the
Will had been left at the office of a

t peculiar.

year.
Police officials testified that
when they asked Father DeLorme
about the Will at first he said it
was in Ottawa. then at the office
OF local notary and finally that he
did not know where it was.
Their testimony also showed that
bullets in the young mans head
bore the same barrel marks as
those fired from a revolver found
in the prist.s car and that soap had
been used in an apparent effort
TO remove blood stains on the seats
and cushions OF the machine.
Feathers found in the car also
were described by witnesses as.
similar u those on the autonlc. c.,'le
