Call on her in office No. 2, Wioo Building. In tbe event that the reported defeat of the movement to establish Salem County has beea defeated at tbe ballot box proves true, tbe matter will be settled for several years, as it will be necessary to get op another pe tition and order another election, and this, uoder tbe law. cacoot be done until a certain period bas elapsed. It is not to be supposed that the people who have for so many years persisted in working for a new couoty and have spent a large amount of money at one time and another in having tbe surveys made, will purmanently give up hope of suc ceeding in their endeavor. Smaller counties are inevitable in Seutb Carolina, and sooner or hter a number of them will be carved out of tbe old counties. Sumter is ftoo large a couoty to remain intact for any great length of time, aod if Salem County is oot ultimate ly formed, some portioo of Sumter Couoty will be cut off to form a new county. The old frame building on Liberty street, until recently occupied by the Watchman and Southron has beea taken dowo. This building is one of tbe o?d bou-es of the place and was for many years the law office of Capt Fraok Sumter. The building was erected by Capt Sumter for bis owd use io 1848, soon after his returo from the Mexicao War, io'wbich be served with distinction as Captain o/ Company A in the famous Pal metto R'gimeot. Captain Sumter made the bouse his home as well as law office, a&d some of the older rxen among tbe citizens of the place who knew Capt. Sumter well and were atLong his intimates, tell very interest ing stories of tbe pleasant and convivial nights spent io tbe old office. There were some rare spirits in Somterville in those days, aod wbeD they gathered around the fire place in Capt. Sumter's office on a winter's evening they are said to bave bad .rare good times. It is oot often that one of them can be induced to stir the embers of the past and recall memories that have grown dim with the passing decadee, but when they ones be gio relatiog reminiscences, tbe younger gen eration gather around and listen with bated brtatb, and tbey oft-times whisper aside, so as not to disturb the story teller: "And there were giants in those days!" During the five years that the writer bad his sanctum io tbe old Sumter office, cn numerous occasions some of the older citizens, who dropped in, were impelled to talk of tbe past and he wa* privileged to hear many of the stories, anecdotes and incidents that made up tbe life of Sumter?when it was written oa tbe map Sumterville, more lhao forty years ago. Tbe old buildinpr will itself soon be but a memory, and with the passing of the few who remember Frank Sumter, tbe gal lant Captain of Company A and tbe genial convivier, a character who for 3 ears filled i a large place in the public eve of Sumter, will have passed into history, or rtither into oblivioo for, unfortunately, the South writes no history. The ?South h?s been too busy making history to have time to record ir, < that is left to the writers of the North, who pursue the culling of book making as com merci? ? vocation, ahd, to make it profitable, take care to write nothing that will offend . their close neighbors.

Mr Rowland asked for better police arrange ments a^d a more rigid enforcement of the law. Mayor Bosaard appointed a special committee consisting of Aldermen Monaghan and Fraser, to prepare an ordit-ance to meet tbe requirements of the-case. Alderman Monaghan brought to the atteo t'on of Council that ih? cotton platform'on Manning Avenue obstructed the view and made it dangerous for persons to cross tbe railroad track on Manning Avenue while shifting is going.on in the depot yard This matter was also referred to the special com mittee.

All the babies in town are invited to attend tbe show, and tbe baby that is adjudged tbe finest and prettiest will be awarded a handsome prize. The judges have not bees selected yet, but it is a settled fact that a committee will he gotten together that will know all about judging babies. Tbey will take into coasideratioo beauty, strength of longs, color of hair, melodious ness of votce, number of leetb, baldness of head, size of feet, number of dimples, size and color cf eyes, siz; of eure, crying record and such other little points that, taken alto gether, enter into tbe make-up of one of those earthly cherubs known in common parlnace as babies. There are babies and babies in Sumter? as all who hare had to dodge around baby carriages on the sidewalk know full well?and out of this multitude of sleep dis turbers there should be at least 187^ perfect darling beauties (an old bsche'or, quite well known for his popularity with all the girls ? toddlers, frying size and those of that elder class, so much given to curling tongs, aod maidenly meditation, i. e fond recollections of tbe spring time of youth?alas, for the days that are uo more !?this old fello w, bimselfa left over from the days of yore, estimates that there are in the city of Sumter exactly 188 babies between tbe ages of one week and two year3 ) Therefore, accepting this estimate as correct, and it muet be, for this baby census taker is a very accurate individ ual, it will be seen that v.he remark that j there will be no more than 137 perfect beau ties tod inevitable prize winners ?3 well within the bounds of probabilities. The task of the judges wiil be very easy and tbey will have the mo3t unprecedented opportunity of making life long friends. The Baby Show will be a ??eat thing and ail tbe babies in town ought to be in it. If tbey had a say so in the matter there would ? he no doubt about it, for there is not a youngster in town that is no: a zealous and : enthusiastic fire department innisan. Of course the writer is not a judge of such matters and it is none of his busiuess, but he ! would, nevertheless, and in violation of all | the customs and precedents, like to nominate : for chairman of the judgts committee that ? same old bachelor who knows so ucl) about babies?even to the exuct number in town, That Baby Show is the proper thing, and ; it went do to forget it.
