Keels, I beg to correct a slight mistake in my letter to the News and Courier and published in that paper February 29. Mr. Keels says the plan he pro? posed was to be submitted to the County Democratic Executive Committee instead of to the mass meeting to be held on Friday. Mr. Keels and myself were talking about both meetings at the same time and that accounts for the mistake. Respectfully, Sumter Cor. News and Courier. March 2. The Sumter Minstrels. The minstrel company of the Fourth Regiment Band, of Sumter, gave a perform aoce ia the Darlington opera bouse on Mon? day night. There is undoubtedly fine musi? cal talent in the troupe and the exhibition of it was good and was greatly enjoyed. The singing of Messrs Bultmau, Moise and Alphonse elicited much applause. The audience was disappointed, however, in the acting, for it was not as good as is usual with amateurs. The performance closed with a "colored swell picnic, song and dance," which was the best feature of the acting. There was a large audience in attendance. Darlingtons News. The entertainment given on Monday night, by the 4th Regiment Baod, of Sumter, was a very enjoyable one, and the audience showed its appreciation by long and continued ap? plause. All the actors exhibited the evidence of careful training, and some of the parts were difficult to carry out. The music was very fine, as was also the solos and chorus singing. Some of the scenes were a little overacted, but a little more practice will obviate this. Taken as a whole, it was one of the best aniatuer entertainments ?hat has ever been given io Darlington-Darlington Herald. The band of the Fourth Regiment gave a concert here last night in the opera house. The programme, which consisted of songs and dances, was a varied and pleasing one. The members of th? troupe came on the stage in the costume of negro minstrels, opening with the usua: overture and followed by Mr. John son, Tambo and Bones. Mr. Bultman (tenor) sang "The picture that is turned toward the wall," for which he received a very enthusi? astic encore. "Carry me back to Virginia," song and chorus, of course captured the house, as it always does. The farce "The Doctor's Shop" was good and well acted. "Old Black Joe," with the echo chorus, was quite a treat. The colored swell song and dance wonnd up the performance. In this last four of the players were dressed to represent women. The dancing was particularly good. The fourth Regiment Minstrels have been seen in several towns and they have met with suc? cess. Members of the Darlington Guards appeared in uniform last night in compliment to their regimental band.-Darlington corres' pondent The <tatet Feb. 2 i. Dots Prom Bembert's. Mr. Editor : I don't know whether it ongbt to be contributed as news from this section or not, but there has been a "Lancer's Club" organized bj some of the joung folk who reside in and around Boy kin. The first meet? ing was held last Saturday evening at the residence of Mr. Sara Boykin. It proved a very happy crowd of young people and they danced the lancers until it was almost Sunday. I think in regard to politics, our little neigh? borhood is very quiet. But maybe the politi? cians have not hit upon a theme that interests the people. Suppose some of our noted Sum? ter County politicians come around this way and see if they can turn over our tickle-box. Some very fine oat crops around here, and some not so very fine; but we won't come j out behind. Judging from a conversation I heard, I think my little note about that lame horse stirred some people up. Nothing so powerful as the printing press Mr. Edward Rem bert, as usual, will run a very large farm this year, and is now almost ready to commence planting. What has become of "Guv?" We have not seen bim nor heard of bim in a good while. As soon as the campaign opens I will send you an interesting letter on "How a Ballot Box Was Lost, Buried or Took Legs and Escaped io 1790." Yours, T. K. A. Glenn Springs, The'increasing demand for Glenn Springs Mineral Water makes it necesasry that one of the Proprietors should devote his entire attention to its shipment, and hereafter Paul Simpson will personally superintend the bottling and shipping of the water and A. 0. Simpson will be associated with H. S. Simp? son in the management of the Hotel, and no pains will be spared in making guests com? fortable. All letters io reference to boa td should be addressed to Simpson & Simpson. All orders for water should be addressed to Paul Simpson, who will give prompt and careful attention.

One day last week, a Sumter merchant re? ceived the following bill : Mr. George Abletop Dr., To W. S. Piggin. To 48 ft. of boards, dressed, Ijxl2x8, .75 To one gate latch, .60 To one pair of gate hinges, .20 To damage to door bell, 1.00 $2.55 Please place to my credit and oblige, W. S. PIOQIN. The said dealer in sundries and other things w&s surprised, never having made any pur chase like the above from Piggin. A day or two after, meeting Piggin on the street, he said somewhat brusquely, "What in the thunder did you mean by sending me that bill ? When didi ever buy any boards and hinges from you ?" "Did that bill say you had bought any from me? It just said you owed me for 'em." "Well, ain't that the same? How"--get? ting ashy-"do I owe you for what I never got?" "The hill didn't say you got 'em." "It didn't 1 Then what did it say ? what does it mean ?" "It just means this-what is done by one's agent is done by himself, and that boy of yours has been to my house so many times since Christmas to collect that little bill I owe you, that I'll be dog-goned if he ain't wore out my gate hinges, broke the latch, mashed in my front steps and jerked the door bell out o'plumb, and it ain't nothing but fair that you should pay the damages." Tbereupou the two men parted, one towards the butcher shop, and the other out into hts backyard where be could express himself without setting fire to bis store with the beat from his words. JONES. . Always Takes the Lead. ROCKY MOUNT, NASH CO., N.C., Jan 8, 1891. Messrs. Quinnipiac Co. Dear Sirs :-I have used your Pine Island Fertilizer on my tobacco for the past three years, each year io comparison with five or six other brands. I prefer Pine Island to any other fertilizer for these reasons : First-It produces as large a crop as any fertilizer I have used. Second-It makes better quality than any other brand, thu3 combining quanity and quality. Where I used the Pine Island the growth was fine, and the tobacco "yellowed" better than that grown on the other fertilizers, and the difference in favor of Pine Island could be seen all through the season. I used twenty toes last season, and have bought from your agent, Mr. J. W. Hines, of Rocky Mount, twenty tons for this coming season's use. R. ll. RICKS. For sale by Browns ? Purdy.

It is a fixed and immutable law that to have good, sound health one must have pure, rich and abundant blood. There is no shorter nor surer route than by a course of Oe Witt's Sarsaparilla. J. S. Hughson & Co. The decision of the Supreme Court ia the Marlboro Bank case is an important one, settling as it does the law regulat? ing the assessment of property. The gist of the decision is that County boards of equalization fix the value of property in their respective Counties, and that the aotion of these boards must stand unless there is collusion or fraud. It would ap? pear that this decision virtually settles the case against the railroads, for If the action of the County boards of equal? ization is final as to other property, then the action of the State Board of Equal ization must be final as to the railroads. If this is correct the assessment . made by that board must stand and the roads must pay their taxes in accordance therewith.-Columbia Register. - i ?
