-An architectural gem I
That Is what It will be!
The walla are being reared rapidly I
Very tew of our cttlzent realize the
magnitude of the jell enterprise now
rapidly materializing.
Sometime since the grand jury called
attention to, and many of our citizens
who are familiar with the situation agree
with them that the present building was
too small, with bad sanitary conditions,
and moreover It Is not what yon could,
In the strictest acceptation of tho term,
ealtan absolntelyaeonre place of oonfine-
The county.of Sumter, with Its large
population, Its really great wealth and
Its progress In every laudable direction,
eonld not afford to have a jail that breeda
disease and death, that was out-grown
years ego.
It Is generally admitted that the
sheriff, the bailiff and jailer are all of
them humane and faithful o&clals, are
doing the best they can do under inch
unfavorable condi tlons, but they can’t
be supposed to work miracles.
This wIU show the pubUo that the
building of a jail that was adapted to
our multiplying neeesrities was very
commendable and the energy could not
have been devoted to a more worthy
project.
Snratcr county can point with just
pride before many more rnontha to the
most Imposing and decidedly the hand
somest Jail In the state.
Its foundations will offer some Idea of ’
the complete edifice.
It wilt rise two stories lu the air; will Jdee4
be constructed ont of compact masonry;
will be well ventilated; well lighted;
comfortably arranged In Its Internal ar
rangement and tbs whole will be satis
factory and handsome.
The jailer’s hones will form an L pro
jection, running south. The jailer’s
house will be neatly famished and wtll
present quite an attractive appearance.
Sumter oonnty will find an unfailing
sonree of pride In her new jell and chal
lenges the state to show one that will
oomparetolt In Its outward appear
ance or inward arrangement.
A Chapter on Oysters.
“Oysters are fatter this year than I
ever saw them before," said a restaurant
oyster opener. “I don’t know wby, bat
usually the fatter en oyster Is the poorer
the flavor. This la became the fat oyster
has generally been ont of the water too
long and has been fed. That Is not
wholly the reason this year. They are
fatter anyhow.
“An oyster Is best on the hall shell,
about twenty-four or forty-eight hours
after be Is ont of salt water. Eaten
fore that time they are apt to give
cramps. Yes, the male la the best, bat
we don’t oome across a male more than
an average of oooe In fifty times.”

Tuesday night, while two yonng boys
from Amerlous were standing In the
nnlon depot, they were approaebed by a
negro wearing the uniform of a brake-
man and asked if they wanted work.
One of the boys replied that be would
like to have a Job, and the negro, who
gave bla name as Alex MoDonald, told
the boy If ha would give him the money
to buy a uniform bo would get him a
place as baggageman. The boy replied
that he didn’t bare quite enough money,
and Alex said If he would give him what
he did have, he would try and secure his
uniform anyway. Ho secured about
$3.60 In money and the boy’s watch and
ehaln, and bade blm wait until he (Alex)
eonld go up Id the office and “register"
blm. The two boys waited a few min
utes, and growing suspicions went in
eenreb of Alez, who could not be found.
The case was reportea to the polios,
who, upon Investigation, discovered that
the negro’s name was Alex Thomas, and
not Alex McDonald, and that he cams

Te-Dnv Is let Spmrt bv the Lectslatore For
n Peculiar Purpose.
By an set of the legislature tbs first
Friday In December of each year la made
s legal holiday for all the schools of the
state, and is known as “Arbor Day." In
compliance with this act the State Scho ol
Commissioner has issued a circular in
viting nil the schools of the State to ob-
serre to-day, 4tb day of December, and
to devote the day In planting trees,
shrubbery and flowers around school
booses, churches and homes. The cir
cular bat just been received, almost too
late for any effective work this year,
though an attempt will be made by
some of the schools.
The intention of "Arbor Day” la to
enoonrage the yontb to protect and Im
prove, rather than destroy the forests,
to beautify and adorn hornet, churches
and school bnnsee, and to cultivate a
taste for the beantifnl.
Arbor Day in Amerlous will doubt
less not be observed, although It it a
worthy enstom and merits the warmest
approval.
