Struck by Lightning. it was reported around in some sections a day or two ago that the store of the Sumter Dry Goods Company bad been struck by lightning. This was a slight mistake; it was cot lightning that struck the store but a r?guler cyclone of low prices. The cyclone of low prices has created such a commotion tbat some people mistook tbe disturbance for thunder and lightning and hence the rumor. The new advertisement of the Sumter Dry Goods Co , is worth reading to-dey. D ath. Mrs. Elizabeth Wiodham, mother uf Mr. E. T.

At this time of tbe year our attention is generally directed towards our educational interests in this city?and we have advan tages of which any city the size of Sumter may well be proud. Io connection with all educational institu tions a well regulated library is ne cessary. At ihe very beginning of this scholastic year let every parent and child feel an interest in tbe library of our Graded School. We are behind in this particular Oar school needs good books. The children should be encouraged io every way possi ble to read good books, and the first thing needed is 10 bring tbem in daily touch with authors of undoubted standing. We feel gore that efforts will be made this year to in crease tbe Dumber of volumes in ibe very snail library now at tbe Graded School, and if you are approached, don't discourage any efforts that are made, but do everything in your power to promote this highly important feature of all good school work. The Cotton Market. The cotton season has opened very favora bly in Sumter, and there is no reason why Sumter should not buy and ship ? large amount of cotton during tbe season. Tbe receipts are very encouraging, which is is a source of satis action and gratification to the cotton boyera. The receipts have been as follows : Sept. 2d, 2 bales; 3d, 8 bales; 4th, 14 bales; 5th, 28 bales; 6tb, 41 bales ; total op to and including last'Fciday, 93 bales The market to-day is steady and good prices prevail. Cotton is selling on the streets for 7.75 to 7 66. -?????- ?I - D. J. Chandler, The Clothier. The handsome suits illustrated in tbe ad vertisement of D. J. Chandler, in this paper give some idea of tbe large and elegant stock of Clothing which he has purchased for bis fall and winter trade. Mr Chandler has es tablished a reputation as a Clothier that car ries trade to his store, for tbe public know that his goods are the best of tbe kind and that every article will prove to be exactly as represented. Clothing has decreased in price by the advantageous operation of tbe tariff law and this season much finer goods may be secured for the same money that cheaper suits cost in other years. Mr. Chandler went North early and bought to the best ad van ; before tbe general rise in prices. ExaiL.r . bis stock if you need clothing. Messrs. Jas. H. Chandler and D. W. Cunningham will take pleasure in serving ail who visit the i store. Quite a Compliment. Mrs John Kersbaw has been invited to ! represent South Carolina in a series of Con- j certs and piano recitals to be given at the Atlanta Exposition under tbe auspices of a special committee of musicians of the South, j organized for that purpose. It is hoped that | she will be able to accept tbe invitation and add her contribution to the success of tbe ' undertaking. -? Tobacco Board of Trade. The tobacco buyers who have located here i for tbe season, held a meeting Wed esc y af- j ternooo and organized a Board of Trade. Tbe Board of Trade will be of great advantage i to this market and will adopt regulations that will innure to the advantage of both sellers and buyers. This market is firmly es- 1 tablisbed and the buyers who have located ' here gire substantial evidence of their inter- j est in the market by organizing as they have j done. Tbe officers of the Tobacco Board of Trade \ are : W. F. Rhame, President. W. A Boulding, Vice President. ' E. C. Matthews, Secretary and Treasurer, j Tbe following committees were also elected: Sa!e& Committee?B. Bowles, chairman, R. ' O. Walker, G. W. Goeney. Arbitration Committee?H. C. Gregory, chairman, E L. Swain, J. W. McCormick. Rules and Regulations?W. F. Rhame, J. A. Brogdon. R. U. Walker. inspector of Scales?W. B. Meacham. The number of cotton buyers on this market is in excess of the number here in past years. With one or two exceptions, probably, all of the export buyers will buy all the cotton from the wagon that they can get. - mim ? ? -^ e?
