THE NEW JAIL WILL BE A THING OF BEAUTY, U Mot “e Joy Forever”—A Public pronnunt That Commenda IUolf to tho Good Jadgnunt of ibc Communlty-It Will Prctont a Handaomo Appoaraneo. -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.” TWO AMKRICDS BOYS Are Caacht by a Curious Trick to Colam- -The Club" Will Meet To-night.

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 came here a few dayi ago from Birming ham, where he has an unsavory reputa- The police have not yet suoceed d la catching him.—Enquirer-Sun, ARBOR DAT.
