Oas case of smallpox wat reported to the Board of Health Friday afternoon It it said to be a case of >arioloid, which it mod*? Ced smallpox, caatrae ed after Vaccination. The vaccination cf those people who at first refused to comply witb tb? rtquirements e.* the Board of Health proceeded rapidly laat weak and it aoout completed. B?.?p?on Richardson and Eddie Jenkins want to Colombia Sunday on their bicycles and made the trip in four hours-a good record. One case of smallpox waa discovered Mon? day afternoon-a negro woman, near the C S. k N R ti. There are now twelve cates At the smallpox hospital The phyai? dan in charge expects to dismiss several of them ic a day or two. The eeedidatet for county offices are hold? ing hack for tome reason or other, and so far macau he ascertained there* are no candidates for county offices definitely announced. In many of the counties there are dozens of candidat*'s cards kt the papers and the cam? paign it aa id to be warder than th? weather already. There are lots of men in Sumter County, however, wno want office, and they are :?ttiog their friends know in a quiet way that they are not averse to serving the poblic for a reasonable consideration. Toe cam? paign will cot be a? interesting this year as it . bas been more than once :n the past, nevertheless there will be more than enough candidates to fill all the offices. Qaite a large crowd west to Columbia ves Sao dar to visit members of the Sumter Light Infantry in camp. The dinner prepared bv the ladies of this city was seot over bj ex? press ?nd tb? Sumter boys bid a feast that - will be remembered as an oasts of good things amid a dreary waste of ba?b aad other tbiogs cot to good The ladies prepared so abund? antly and generously that there was no! only a dinner for ?be entire company bot more than enough for several such dinners There were boxes and boxes of everything that wcu'd tempt th? appetite and satisfy the cravings of the hungry soldiers, and tb? hoyt were made to feel that they were not forgotten by those they bad left behind. It it eurreotly reported among the soldiers in camp io Colombia that the Independent Batt abos, under command of Maj Tbompeec, may be ordered to Sullivan's Islaod to do garrison duty, instead of goine at once to Tampa and thence to Coba. The regulars now at Sullivan's Island will be sent to tb? seat of war and tb?

It it reported io tome ot oar neighboring to?ns that there are three hundred cases of smallpox io Sumter, that there have been a number of deaths and that at pr?tent there are cases of smallpox io nearly ?very family. The originator of tb? report had not only a able-bodied imagination, but a total disregard of troth and tbs e*?Hy aacertaioable fact? There have been from first to last 3a caaes of smallpox io this city and not a single death. These cares have been scattered over a period of tea or eleven weeks and there has never been anything approaching an epidemic. Nearly every person residing io the city has been fuccessfally vaccinated and those whose arms have not taken ar? oew being rt-vacci neted, so that it is sext to impossible for tb? disease to spread t^aor great extent. The?? are the fact? and those wno bar? business ia Sumter may come here without mooing any greater danger of contracting smallpox than by visiting any ooe of a dozen otber towns in the State that hive not publicly announced that there are and have been cases of small? pox within their -limits. Sumter has tsnde no concealment of the prevalence of smallpox and ba? trtated the public fairly by giving due notice. At the same time e?pry pre? caution bas been taken to preveot the 3pread of the disease and to stamp I? ont as quickly as j possible.

DEATH. ? isa Mattie Stuckey, the youngest chiid of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Stuckey, of Bishop vii ie, died oa Saturday night after RD illness of several weeks, aged twenty-one years. : The funeral services were held in tr.e Pres? byterian Church at Bisbopville Sunday after? noon at 5.30 o'clock, and tbe body was theo ?aid to rest in the burying ground adjacent to tbs church. Tba deatb of one who bas much to liv? for is al way s sad, but this was a pecu? liarly heavy affliction to the bereaved family, for deatb then entered, for the first time, the family circle and claimed ooe of its members, leaving the aged father and mother desolate ia their home from wbich ooe after another of their children bad goo? forth to make homes of their own until the youngest alon? was left to bear them company and ba a com? fort to them io their declining years. Now that sb? bas been taken to the home oif ber Heavenly Father tbe family circle is broken, the old home is vacant, and the heart? of taos? who lov<:d ber are filled with a grief that ?8 8ore, softened though it ia by the assur? ance "that it is well with the child," and by the knowledge that death' gave relief from pain and suffering that neither the physician's skill nor prayers and faith ead hope availed to alleviate.
