The Graded schools will be closed^Thursday and Friday on account of^Thanksgiving and the carnival.
It is presumed that al) the stores,both large and small, will be closedon Thanksgiving day, as customary.
I The proposition to extend Warrenstreet eastward from Main seems to£ave been lost sight of.^ If taxes could be collected on everydog in Snmter courty the school termcould be lengthened or the teachers'salary increased.
If a big cotton crop is planted'nextspring there will be more,pront inselling October futures than in grow¬ing cotton.
A Speculation in cotton futures is now^expensive as well as risky. It costs§5 a baie-$530 a contract-to get intothe game.The report of Prof. Riggs on the
Electric Light p!ant and service ismerely confirmation of what everybodyhas believed for a long time.The corn crop of South Carolina
k last year averaged ony 10.9 bushelsPper acre. A few crcp¿ similar to Mr.
J. M. Woodley's would raise the aver¬
age materially.Farm land in Snmter county that
sells for $25 tc S50 a" acre is return¬ed for taxation at a valuation of to$10 an acre. Tûere should be son.eway to put a stop to such glaring un
JÍSer valuation.j* The Civic League improvements on
the Court House Square vanishedalmost in the twinklîne of an-eyeMonday when the Carnival companytook possession.The sale of clothing advertised to.
^day by Jospeh M. Chandler, v.*UBpaake folks sit up arv: take notice. He^Çpecifies the goods and quotes prices
that caannot fail to convince the mostconfirmed doubter t h st tbe cay ofbargains has come. R*-ad the adver¬tisement and note the prices.If the City Council should decide to
adopt Prof. Riggs' suggestion and es¬
tablish an electric light plant at the«»water works pumping station a major¬ity would gladly welcome a largeincrease in the number of streetlights. A hundred arc ligbs would benone two few for the present needs ofthis city if the streets are to be wellilluminated.J Sumter horses now take no more
^notice of automobiles than of bicy¬cles. There is nothing like gettingused to things. A few years ago allthe horses and mules as well tried toget out of the road when a bicyclecame along, and only a few monthsback the horses were frantic withfright every time an automobile madeits appearance.

spect to the departed.Rabbi J. Klein conducted the ser¬
vices. The interment was at theJewish cemetery after sunset.

vices on the Jewish Sabbath, he con¬
sented; in this instance, owing to thecircumstances of the case, which ren¬
dered it necessary to have the funeralat 4.30 o'clock and the intermentafter sunset, which would not violatethe law of the faith.The pallbearers were: Honorary,

Southern Trestle at Green SwampDestroyed Again.
The Southern trestle at GreenSwamp which was practically a new
structure having been built only a fewmonths ago to replace the one burnedat that time, was totally destroyed3re.sterday at 3 o'clock a. m. by fire.It is not known exactly how the fireoriginated but it is surmised that it
caught from a, spark from a passingengine.The construction train was sum¬
moned and a large force of hands putj to work to replace the trestle. Untilthe new trestle is completed theSouthern train will be brought into
j the city over the A. C. L. tracks.
What will become of this countrywhen there is no more stump light¬wood lf-ft? It will be a drearly placp,especially in the early morning whenthere are fires to build,
j A farmer who came to town withsixteen b«l9s of cotton Mondayrefused to sell at 11^ the price offer¬ed and calmly told the cotton buyerfae could hare the cotton for 12 cents.The farmer will store this lot andthe balance of his crop until he getshis price. That looks like the farmeris in the saddle.Last year the Fall Festival commit¬
tee hoped to he aoîe to induce enoughautomobilists to participate io theraces by offering large prizes to havetweuty-fiv.e cars in the parade. Thisyear without going out of the city it
' is possible to have an automobileparade with fiftv or more cats in line.Qow is that for spending money onvehicles in a twelve months?Mr. and Mr*. J. S. Mobley. of
Providence, cime to the city todayand sper.f most of the morning intown. They were cn their way home,and had gone as far as Broad Street,when tip horse liiat they were drivingtook fright at the rattling of a loadof fnrnitnre that was comine up be- |hind them. The horse dashed offin terror, throwing Mr. Mobley fromtb* vehicle aud striking his brad jagainst a telegraph post; Mrs. Mobleywas unable to retain her seat in thevehicle and she was thrown to theeround very violently. Mr. Mobley
j w»s knocked unconscious by the fear-fui blew that he sustained, and, al-toocgh medical aid was rendered him,
is still in a dazed condition.M'?. Mobley was hadley bruiser), but
j otherwise was -not seriously injured;j Tbty were taken to their home byfriends.The ladies automobile driving con¬
test was concluded at 4.30 o'clock,after a sensational exhibition of skil¬ful handling of the high speed cars.
