New Yohk, Juno 11.—Sir William
Gordon Gumming lias decided, says a
lei ter from an acquaintance of the baron
et in London to a gentleman in tills city,
to relate at length liisowu version of the
Tranby Croft baccarat scardal In aamall
volume which he proposes to bring out
au early date.
In his book he will deal particularly
with what he has termed the “rascality”
of Lycett Green, the manner In which
the Prince of Wales keeps secrets; bis
candid opinion of the hostess of Tranby
Croft, and the true and only reason why
he was called upon to sign that docu
ment.
How the prince of Wales plays the
role of banker, why he carries his own
baccarat apparatus about with him.
The nonsense that occurred among
the parry on both nights of the play,
and last but not least, Lady Brooks' rea
son for the breaking her promise to the
prince of Wales that she would not ut
ter a single word about the affair to
living being.
The story is that the prince conlided
the morsel of gossip to his favorite Lady
Brooks, who in turn revealed it to
friend of hers who happened to have
been scorned by Sir William Gordon
Cumming, and who at once saw an op
portunity for her revenge.

Worthy of Note.
Although the number of pupils who
are to receive diplomas to-night for
having completed the course of study
and passed satisfactory examinations on
the studies of the high school Is so com
mendable for tile city of Amcricus, that
number—twenty-two—does not quite
represent ail those who were In the
highest grade this year. Mies Alma

short time ago. Miss Alma Clark baa

quite unwell. Msster Shelby Myrlck, the
youngest member of the class, Is now

Deserved it and Mare.
The last grand jury paid Judges Fort
and Piisbury high compliments and they
deservo them, and mote. Never will
two men be given up as reluctantly by
any people. They have made model
judgea and the people of Sumter county
are proud of them,
Two other men that have done some
splendid work are Solicitor General C.
B. Hudson and County Solicitor L, J
Blalock. Both of these gentlemen have
yen. There are many in Sumter coun
ty who will lie glad to see Mr. Blalock
step tu when Col. Hudson steps out.
That he would make a splendid soliclto
general there Is no doubting.
Joe In Trouble.
A few days ago Hr. J. G. McDonald of
The Tiues-Recobdxr force sent some
clothes to Joe Sing, the chlnaman, to be
laundered 1 . In one of the shirts be left
a valuable diamond stud and a gold but-
ton. When the shirts came baek the
jewelry was gone. Joe protested that
he "no see pin" hut Mr. McDonald awote
out a search warrant and had Bailiff
Cobb to search the place. The button
was found but the stud remains bidden
away in some of Jod'a heathenish gar-
menls. If he doesn't produce the, dia
mond Joe Slog will be tried for larceny
after trust.

Five members of the last congress
Hon. Thomas C. McRae, of Prescott,
Arkansas; Hon. C. L. Anderson, of Koe-
cinsco, Mississippi; Hon. JameaS. Coth
ran, of Abbeville, S. C.; Hon. H H.
Carlton, of Athens, and Hon. J. O.
Clements, of Rome, met at the Kimball,
in Atlanta Thursday to confer about
business matters. It was their unani
mous opinion that Judge Crisp will be
elected speaker of the next house .
Hon. Tom McRae, of Arkansas, has
served three terms In congress and has
been re-elected to the next house.
“1 am for Crisp for speaker,” said he,
“aud iu my .opinion he will be elected.
Arkansas is divided on this question. Of
our five members two of ue are for
Crisp, two for Mills, aud the fifth has
not even iutlmated who be is for. I be*
lieve Crisp would make the bestspeaker.
I believe it would be batter for the dein
ocratio party to elect him than any other
member of the house, and, therefore,
■ball vote for bint. A large majority of
the old members agree with me. Crisp
will get their votes."
Mr. Carlton had just returned from
Boston and New York. He said:
“On my trip to Boston and New
York,” said Mr. Carlton, “I talked with
various members of congress and the
leading politicians of the states. Massa
chusetts, I understand, will go solidly
far Charlie Crisp for speaker, aud New
York, I am confident, will vote twenty
one out of her twenty-three members for
Crisp. I Was told by men who should
know that the delegation would be solid
for him. Indeed the Impression In
Washington, New York and Boston ir
that Crisp's election Is now a certainty.
He will not lose five votes from all the
states bordering on the Atlantic coast,
and the middle states will give him
big majority. Iu the west he will get at
many as any othor candidate."
