A few more days of warm weather and the peach trees will be in full bloom. There will be bot-few people from this city tp attend tbe inauguration of McKinley. Washington's Birthday was observed in this city by closing the Post Office and Banks aod the schools gave holiday. Tobacco is still coming to this market in considerable quantities and the ead of the warehouse season is not yet io sight. Farmers are beginning to get blue over the outlook. They are behind with their work and the continued rain prevents plowing. The top-spinning craze has struck the town again, and boys of all sizes, and the girls too, are putting in all their spare time spin? ning tops. Tbe case that will excite the greatest inter? est at the approaching term of court will be that of Robert Wilson, who will be on trial as on accessory of Simon Cooper. A special train of 3 coaches passed through the city last Thursday morning from Colum? bia, en route to Charleston, having on board 345 of our law-makers and their friends. The Electric Light Company is extending ks service, and wires have recently beep put into several residences and stores where electricty was not used heretofore. It is against the law to sell cigarettes to minors, nevertheless all dealers sell cigarettes to e^ery' boy tbat can raise tbe price. There are dealers who will break a package and sell a boy a penny's worth of cigarettes. The theatrical season will extend until late io the spring this yesr There are an unus? ually large number ot repertoire companies on the Southern circuit and they are making dates for engagements a long ways ahead. It bas been definitely decided that the pro- j ductior of "Dampn and Pythias," will be | given soortly after Lent. By that tice all I of the p Ttictpints well be thoroughly f-imi- j liar ?with their parts and it will be staged in | a style tc merit both patronage and apylausa. j The schools will all have holiday Monday j and the post office will be closed except dur- ? iog the forenooo from 10 to ll o'clock. This | will be about the extent of the observance) Wash'.ngt)n's birthday will receive in this j city. The l?diis of the Baptist Church will serve ? dinner several days during Court week, for the bebefit of the New Church fund. The dinner will be served ia the old Planter's Warehouse on Main Street, opposite store of O'Donnell & Co. The pleasant weather of the last few days has. been an inspiration to bicyclists and many bave taken loog spins in the country. ! The number of cyclists in this city grows Steadily and there are probably more wheels ! in Sumter, in proportion to the population, than ia ^ny other place in the State. The prospective new brick crossings cn ; Miin and Liberty streets are badly needed ;it this time, but there is one consolation as the mud-wading goes cn, and that is it will not ; al wa} s be thus, for the brick for the new j crossing are on the ground. The Sumter S sh, Blind and Door Factory . received a few d?tys airo an order fer 520 p*ir of blinds from o;ie concern. This is one of the most sucstnntia! and prosperous enter? prises of Sumter and in qu??ty of work and low prices no factory io the State can surpass it. The knitting mill is being revived again, but most people decline io become enthusias? tic over mere taik. If Sumter wants a knit? ting mi!!, or for that matter, any other man- : ufacturiog enterprise, it is within her power to buve it. Co-operaiion and energy wi)! accompliih any reasonable undertaking, and there is suffHent capital in Sumter to esiab- , lish one or more small, but profitable manu factories every year A knitting mill is not the only thing available, there are scores of industries that could be made to pay h?re in Sumter. Mrs Marth* Lee, widow of the lute Jchi L"p. of the Sprtos Hil! nei^hb-rhood, and mother of Mr. A. K L?e, died on Sunday, 21st and was buried at Antioch Church to? day. She was about 65 years old. The Mavors Court had a short eessior. yes? terday. There was only OGe negro on the mourner's bench and he had. to answer to no more serious ^haree than that of removing boards from a bridge on the streets and using the stme for fuel. He was adjudged guilty and sentenced to pay a fine or S2 or serve ? fjur days on the streets. Why will you buy bitter nauseating tonics when'Grovc's Tasteless Chill Tonic is as pleasant as Lemon Syrup. Your druggist is authorized to refund the money in every case where it fails to cure. Price, 5(i cents. The two new ice factories both arpear to be certainties, for both hare contracted for lots and the arrangements for the installation of tbe refrigerating plants are goiog forward ia a business-like manner. The combined out? put of the three factories-the old and the two prospective-will be about forty-five tons every twenty four hours. The chain gang did excellent work on a portion of tbe Stateburg road between Shot Pouch branch and the city limits, but other portions of the road are very little if at all improved. Where the sand was re? moved ?rorn tbe rgad and the clay put on and leveled down a firm, bard roadway bas been secured, while where the clay was thrown on top of the heavy sand bed that formed the road the result wa3 something far differeot. Those who have had occasion to use tbe Stateburg road recently can compare the different portions of the road and form their owQ opinions as to the results obtained. The idea has gotten abroad, since tbe pub? lication in this paper of extracts from the report of the Clerk of the County Beard of Commissioners, that the county is about $17,000 in debt. This i? not true, for, while there were . unpaid claims aggregating that amount when the report was com? piled, there wa9 money io the coun? ty treasury, cpllected for the fiscal year 1896, sufficient to pay all debts contracted during that year The county has not money on band to pay the debts of 1897 as soon as contracted, but from the taxes colltcted in 1897 all debts contracted during the year will be paid. A very pleasant affair was the oyster sup? per given by Monaghan Hose Co., No. 2. to the young ladies and gentlemen who took part in tbe 'Capt Dick" entertain tr. en'. There were about forty persons present, in? cluding the members of Monaghan Squad, who comfortably filled the dining room ot" the Sumter Restaurant. The room was tastefully decorated with flowers and vioes for the becasioo. Tbe supper consisted of oysters served io various etyles and other ddlicaces. The supper was a graceful com? pliment to those who aided Monaghan Hose Co. in making "Capt. Dick" a success, and it proves that appreciation is not one cf the obsolete virtues-uot with the Monaghan Squad at all events. Tbe evening was very pleasantly spent, and every one present voted tbe "Capt. Dick" banquet a3 great s. success a; the drams, itself. , Tbe Court House is undergoing the usual ante court sweeping and scouring, and it will be in as presentable condition as possi? ble when Court convenes. To look at the dilapidatediand antiquated temple of justice one would never imagine that at one time it was tbe handsomest and most costly court bouse in the State. It was, however, and many, maoy years ago the Sotuter Court House was regarded as a model of beauty, magnificence and convenience, in tbe 3hape of a Court House. Times have greatly changed eiuce that remote and frugal day, and now the Sumter Court House is pointed out as a warning and not as au example. But it i3 to be repaired-some day, and we all look forward to tbat day .and say as little as possible concerning the present. Every community bas its quota of inven? tive geniuses. Sumter's latest ?3 a matter of fact young person who proposes to deveiop an infinite amount of power to operate man? ufacturing establishments .of all sizes and descriptions by boring artesian wells. He has a well developed theory and demonstrates it to a mathematical certainty by mean3 of a volume of figuics. He elucidates the matter to such simple folk as editors aud "sucb like" wbo are not expected to appre? ciate higher mathematics and mechanics by simply saying, that energy is required to force artesian water three feet above the sur? face of the ground and tb*t his plan "bas to do" with the concentration, development conversion and utilization of this energy which is unquestionably present in inexhaus? tible quantities. Look out for an artesian power trust next. Thematter of the utmost importance to Sumter at this time is another railroad out? let by means of which competing freight rates could be obtained. Every business man io the place koows what it is to have competing lines and what is to be without tberr, and having this knowledge re-enforced and indel libly impre8ed upoo their intelligence by tbe severe teachings of costly experience, they oatarally desire the edveot of the day wbeo Sumter well be once .more uobottled The Ohio River & Charleston railroad must in time build from Camden to some point that will afford a more direct and quicker outlet to the 9eaboerd. The city of Sum? ter is that point, if the extension from Camden stops short of deep water, and even though the O. R & C. capitalists should determine to build an independent road direct to Charleston, that road would pass through Sumter. What is wanted is toe assurance that the road will* be built and equipped at no very distant day. Railroads are built for business, and if the owners of the road were reasonably sure that the extension from Cam? den would prove a paying investment they would not delay building it a day, therefore, it would be well for the people who want the j road to come to Sumter to get together and i see how much freight they could give the road j per year for a term of years, making their j estimate on the amount of freight they bave j received or shipped in past years. A com- ? munication of this sort would very probably have some influence whether it accomplished tbe desired effect at once at not. Sumter's ? business men could afford to give a new road ! al! of their fright that could be bandied bv j it, and this treatment of a new .road would be more valuable to it than the $75,000 asked for by the managers of thia road some j years ago. Sumter can aod will give a new j road business, but neither money nor bor.ds. j The Mail Carrier Comes to Terms* ! The m?-il carrier on the Suster and Mano ville star route who refused for several weeks to deliver the mai i bag containing tbe ?;::;i? ' for Boss.?rd post office because the office was removed a short distance off of the origin il route, h;is bee:? brought to terms and DOW de? livers the mail promptly.

The People's Ice Company has leased a lot a short distance from the depot and border? ing on tbe main line of the A. C L. and will erect the factory there. A well was sunk this morning to test the water supply and a flow of twelve gallons per mioute was obtained from an tn;b and a half pipe. Two other test wells will be suok, nnd if a satisfactory flow of pure water is obtained from them the contract for tbe iot will be closed at oDce. The site ?3 a very advantageous one for the factory as it will afford the best shipping facilities obtainable in the city and is conve? nient to the depot and not . too far removed from the business portion of the place. The work cf erecting the necessary buildings will be commenced in time to have everything ?D readiness for the recepiiou of the machin? ery when it arrives. The Independent Ice Company. The Independent Ice Company bas com? pleted the organization and Mr. E H. Moses leaves io the morning to purchase the ma? chinery and outfit. A lot adjoining the Sumter Ice Go. factory bas been purchased, and the new factory will be io operation within the next for:y or fifty days The Independent Co., will use the absorption process and a fifteen ton plant ha3 been con? tracted for with one of the most reliable manufacturers of ice machinery. The pro? moters of the Indeper.de;. t Co., say that they will enter the market with the determination to sell ice as cheaply as it c*n be done at a reasc ' e profit, and that there will be no atten.,.! .0 inaugurate cut throat competition. fer it is an undisputable fact that every pound of ice that will be made io Sumter by the several I factories can be sold in other places at a pre?t. Sumter b*3 the advantage of an inexhaustible supply of clear, pure water that makes the best and most solid ice on the market, and Sumter ice is always, in demand. The Independent Ice Co., will not be controlled by the Ice Trust and can fix prices as the managers see fit and they will make a scale of prices that will attract patronage at home and abroad. With the newest and most improved machinery and a manager who bas had several years success? ful experience in the operation of an ice fac? tory they will be enable to make as good ice as is on the market at the least possible cost of which tb?ir patrons will have the advan? tage. Tho President's Daily Routine. Ex-president Harrison bas written of "A Day With the President at His Desk" for the March Ladies Home Journal. The article is said to be singularly interesting in the detail with which it describes the wearisome rou? tine of the President. It is said that Gen. Harrison, in this article, has delivered him? self with great directness and vigor, relative to the annoyances that are visited upon a Chief Executive by persistent office-s eek er?, and he suggests a unique plan, by which the President's burdens io that direction could be greatly ligbteced, and he be enabled to devote more atteutiou to more important matters. A feature of the article that will have a timely interest to those ambitious to serve the country under tba incoming admin? istration, describes very fully how the Presi? dent makes appointments to office. "A Day With the President at His Desk," is unique in being the first time that the daily life of the President bas been described by one who baa filled the exalted office. Articles upon' the social and domestic life of the President by General Harrison will follow io successive issues of the Journal. Address The Ladies' Home Journal, Philadelphia. The Cotton Mill is running on full time now and is making yarn et a fair profit. The Auditor on last Monday began adding the penalty to all taxable property whose owners neglected to^make returns. There are not sncb a great number, but there are always a certain per cent, of people who are too cureless to attend to their business at tbe proper time, and pay for the neglect ia tbe eod. Dr. Archie China bas been for a number of years one of tbe greatest admirers of fine poultry to be found in the city, and has de? voted much time and spent money freely in the attempt to create an interest in poultry farming on a large scale. But this is all well known to Dr. Archie's friends and it is anotner story that is to be told now It is connected with his fondness for fine poultry, but not in the way of increasing the stock, rather the reverse as w:ll ne seen when the story has been all told. On Friday afternoon the bector went out buntine, but met with but indifferent luck for several hours, so gave up the chase and s'arted for home. Passir-g by the First Mill pond hn attention was directed to two wild geese which were quietly swimming around on the pond. At once his Nimrod spirit was stirred mightily within bim. He crept around the muddy and boggy banks of the pood, through thickets and cane breaks until at iast he came within range of the unsuspecting geese. He drew a bead on them and pulled the trigger-bang went the gun and both geese toppled over. Securing a boat he obtained hts game and set out rejoicing cn his homeward way. To every friend and acquaintance he met the brace cf geese were proudly displayed, and the story of the hunt exultantly related. But alas, his joy was suddenly turned into grief and unavailing regret when he reached town, for there the unfortunate wild geese were personally rtfo niz-d as a pair of prize geese that bad strolled duwn for an afternoon j swim fron; the farm ot" Mr. Perry .Moses that adjoins the mill pond. Mr. Moses bad prize j geese for dinner and Dr. Archie has had ! ?3 i spare time Tully occupied tn relating his wild : goose hunting trip When you see him don't ask foo many questions, tor he bas 1 already answered :i few thousand, :til of! which were not ?bso?u'elv necessary.

The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens rail? road had a small wreck at the Lady Street croesing last night, which, however, did not cause very much damage. A freight train of 36 cars drawn by engine No. 1, in charge ef Engineer Murrell was coming into tbe city, and as tbe train reached the trestle just above Lady street, the engineer discovered a lot of cars on the track, only a short distance ahead of him. He applied the air brakes in an in? stant, reversed bis engine and then jumped to save himself. The momentum of the heavy train was so great tbat it could not be stopped in a short distance, and the engine craebed into the line of cars breaking off the pilot and doing other damage to the front portion. Engineer Murrell did everything possible to stop his train and then leaped for his life just before the crash came He escaped unhurt Engineer Murrell knows what a collision rreane, and has stopped taking any chances. He was one of the engineers in the big wreck on this road a few months ago when two freight trains collided and were burned up.
