Mr. E. Hogao has bought tbe county right for a quick process of tanning leather, known as tbe''Boss Tan," and purposes opening a tannery. By the quick process hides are thoroughly tanned in from two to four weeks, according to tbe thickness of the bide, and it is claimed that tbe leather is of better quality tbao that made by the old process which re quires from 6 months to a year. Tbe taooiog is done with the extract made from the en tire tree instead of grouod bark. Mr. F. Deardorff has beeo here for several weeks representing tbe owners of tbe patent, during which time several grades of leather have been tanned and finished These samples show up well, and any one interested can see tbem by clling on Mr. Hogan. The success of this enterprise will keep a good many dol lars here that would otherwise go away. Tbe bides are here and there is a coostaot de mand for leather of all kinds. We hope that Mr. Hogan will meet with tbe success that we anticipate. Sumter Premiums. There were very few exhibits from Sumter CouHty at tbe State Fair last week.

No reason for hi* disappearance is known to exist:, hence tbe matter is more of a mystery and the uneasiness among his family and friends i* all the greater A HORRIBLE DEATH. A Negro Cut to Pieces in a Saw Mill. On Thursday morning last, Thomas Hamp ton, a negro hiind at McBride Warren's Saw Mill, which is located in the Brick Church neighborhood, eight miles below Maye6vill?, met a horrible death.

One arm was cot off in two places, both legs were cut off above tbe knees and one side of bis bead was split open. Although mangled, in so trrrible manner be lived until 2 o'clocck in the afternoon, suffering tbe most fearful agony imagoable, tbe accident occurring at 8 o'clock a. m. Medical attention was sum moned from Mayesviile, bu.it was, of course, impossible for anything to be done for tbe unfortunate man. The New 'Court House The committee of the County Commission ers appointed to consider tbe plans for re modeling tbe Conrt House, met Monday morn ing and beld a consultation witb Mr. W. A. Edwards, of the firm of Wilson 4 Edwards, architects of Columbia, who were employed to report as to the cost of repairing and re modeling th; Court House in accordance with the plans stibmt ted by tbe bar. Mr. Edwards submitted plans and a sketch of tbe building as it will appear when tbe work has been completed. Tbe sketch shows a very handsome and graceful building in the Corinthian style tbat would be an orna ment to tbe city and one tbat every inhabi tant of Sumter County might take a just pride in. The iaterior arrangements will give ample office room for all of the County officials and tbe court room will be both large and comfortable. A corridor will extend through the entire length of tbe building on tbe ground flour and the offices will open on this instead of on tbe open fquaieas at present. There are to I be two large fire-proof vaults for the storage of records, and stairways in tbe front end rear. Tbe estimated cost for completing the building is $15,000. As there is but S50J0 available tbe committee could take no action, it therefore adjourned until tbe Board of Commissioners can be called together. MARRIAGE. Mr. W. M.
