YOING MAN SHOT MOTHER. Relieved Viot'm of Accident at Man? ning Will Recover From Painful Wound. Manning. June 28.?Harry Lloyd, a young white man about 18 years old. whiU cleaning a gun this morn? ing accidentally shot his mother, who Is the widow of the late D. R. Lloyd and lives Just outside of the western limits of town. The hall entered the abdomen but apparently ranged to? ward the hip and did not enter the cavity. The patient is reported as resting fairly well this afternoon and serious results are not anticipated. Cat Defied City Authorities. A case of a cat defying the various departments of the city successfully came to light?or rather stayed In the dark?today when Health Officer Reardon in tracing up an unpleasant odor, complaiced of by occupants of one of the buildings on East Liberty street, found that it came from the decomposed body of a cat which In escaping from the' officer one morn? ing a few days ago had accidentally Jumped Into the gutter pipe and slip? ped on down Into the pipe which passes under the sidewalk to the street. Here the cat had died and the body remained. All efforts of Mr. Reardon to dislocate the body were unsuccess? ful. Also the fire department was called Into service and the hose with full force of water was turned on. but still the cat stuck. The chairman of the public works committee and some of his subordinates were called to the scene, but they were also un? successful In devising means of mov? ing the carcass. It was decided not to tear up the sidewalk and the health officer poured a quantity of disinfectants and deodorizers in the hole to remedy present evils, but still the cat stayed there. It was suggest? ed that the Light Infantry be called out. but the suggestion was frowned down. Tax Same sjg Last Year. Auditor R. E. Wilder went to Co? lumbia Saturday to see the Comptrol? ler General. A. W. Jones, concerning the tax on property for the year. He found It to be 14 3-4 mills, exactly the same as it was last year. ThU levy Is the Stete and County tax out? side of any special school levy. Mr. Wilder had his books posted up as far as he could go without the tax levy week before last and after wait? ing several days for the Comptroller to* notify him of what the levy would be and not hearing anything, he went to Columbia to find out at first hands. He is now engaged in putting the taxes on the property already down on the book3. But the Mule Wouldn't Go. It Is not often the the county offi? cials at the court house have the chance of taking a few minutes off from their routine work to see some? thing as unusual and amusing as was seen by them one day this week. The sight was something that kept sev? eral of them and a roar of laughter for some time, even after it was over. A negro had his mule and his bi? cycle with him and he wanted to tae them both off at the same time, so he hitched the mule to the wheel with the evident intention of driving the mule along and allowing the mule to pull the wheel. This the? mule ob? jected to, however, most strenuously and started to backing and the ne? gro had a hard time to get him.self and his wheel out of the way before the mule backed on him. He finally settled the matter to the satisfaction of the mule by walking off pushing his wheel and leading the mule. One Case Disposed Of. A number of cases were postponed until the fall term of court thi3 morn? ing and one case wag disposed of. Willie Jones had a true hill presented against him for housebreaking and larceny. He plead guilty and was sentenced to serve one year on the county chalngang. V M. 0, A. Athletic Notes.

(Advertisement) IN THE RACK FOR SUPERVISOR. i Mr. L. E. White Has Recovered From His nines* and Will Actively "Go After Supervisor's Job." Mr. Ia E. White, who has been ill at his residence on North Main street for several weeks, has about recover? ed from his sickness, and says that he is going "right after the job" for supervisor, for which office he an? nounced himself some time ago. Mr. White has for years been i identified with the public works de? partment of the City of Sumter, and his many friends who are supporting him for the office of County Super? visor say that he is the man for the place. The public generally will be glad to learn that Mr. White has re? covered after his recent illness. Should Hang Our Heads in Shame. We were very forcibly Impressed with almost the same remarks that two of our good intelligent friends from the country said to us since the campaign day here. The sum and substance of both their remarks was. that they had made up their minds before coming out to hear the speak? ers that they would vote for Jones, but after hearing the charges made by Blease against Jones, they decided that Blease was the better of the two, and inasmuch as they had voted for Blease two years ago, they would stick to their tirst love and vote for him again. They both acknowledged that Blease's administration was a disappointment to them and a fail? ure. Both of these men have boys and It will be but a few years, when these boys will be men and will have taken their fathers' places. How will it strike those boys when they read the history of South Carolina and the records of her public men and call to mind that their fathers upheld and voted to keep In the high office once held by the peerless Hampton. Hagood and others, a man accused of taking graft, or being taken to his very door and yet made no effort to bring his accusers to justice, but simply sneered at his accusers. Yes, this very pertinent question will be asked by them as it is being asked today?If Blease is not guilty of re? ceiving graft, why does he not de | mand of his accusers to bring the I proof? And since Mayor Grace has j proven what he has charged, why j does not Governor Blease force Stot , hart to tell what he has done with I that graft money, a part of which he I has acknowledged receiving, before the dispensary investigating commit I tee? In addition to his acknowledg? ing that he had received a part of this graft money, it has been proven by several blind tigers that they did pay this money to Stothart and oth? ers as protection from raids by the constables. It is truly a sad state of affairs that the Executive of the proud State of South Carolina is under the ban of suspicion, that he has appointed men to office whose sworn duty is to sup? press the liquor tratic, but whose sole aim and purpose is to extract money from the illicit liquor dealers, divide j with the Governor and appropriate the balance to themselves. Yet this is the man, Blease, that so many of our good, honest, tolling men are up? holding for governor. We asked three ardent Bleasits to I tell us candidly one good reason for supporting Blease. The answer given , separately was, "he is smart and sticks to his friends." We also asked j if they had any confidence in us, they ' all answered yes, Well then, we said, rea I our editorial carefully this W?ek. 1- cry true South Carolinian should hang his head in shame that we have ?UCh a governor.?Blahopvllla Vindi? cator.
