Owens, of the Sumter Military Academy, has been appointed by the Governor as a mem? ber of his steff, and will hereafter be known as Coi. Owens. Among the petit jurymen this week are Messrs. Charlie Pinckney and y- McDonald Furman. It is an interest? ing coincidence that their great grandfathers, Gov. Charles Pinck? ney and Dr. Richard Furman, were both members of the South Carolina Constitutional Convention of 1790. Gov. Pinckney presided over the Con? vention, and his portrait was copied this summer at the home of Mr. H. L. Pinckney, Sr.. for the c ci ty of Philadelphia, to be hung in Indepen? dence Hail. The general verdict of those who at? tended the Fair is that it was not up to the standard of recent years. There were no sheriff sales on Mon? day which was rather unusual for this season of the year. The furniture and fixtures for the Sumter Savings Bank have arrived and will be put up within the next few days. If the. rain does not pour in./-tor? ren ts, the special services at the "Mag? nolia Street Methodist-Church will be held every night this week at 8 o'clock. Mr. Johnson, the night yardmaster, at the Coast Line yards, who was hit by a train and painfully hurt last Monday night, is able to be out again. A fairly good audience heard Blind Tom last Thursday night. The con? cert was much the same as Tom has been giving since he first began to ap? pear in public. For a blind and ig? norant negro of weak mind his play? ing is wonderful. Smith and Dennis, the merchants who are accused of setting fire to their store in Timmonsville and causing the big fire in that place, have been - ar? rested and committed to the Florence jail. Cut this out and take it to Dr A J Chi? na's drug store and get a free sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tabtets, the best physic. They cleanse and invigo? rate the stomach, improve the appetite and regulate the bowels. Regular size. 25c per box. The Tuomey block is being repair? ed. The stores will be repainted and a general improvement will be made, which will add much to the looks of Main Street. Everything is progressing finely for the bazar to be given by the ladies of the Jewish Lecture Hall Society. The bazar will be held on Dec. 4th. Place will be announced later. Officer Weeks arested a negro for riding a horse through the streets at a speed beyond the limit allowed by law. Officer Weeks got on the "police horse" and ran the offender down and arrested him. The crowd in town Saturday was larg? er than usual and things had more of the appearance of fall than they have had in some days. If cotton continues on the decline, however, the fall trade will soon be over, and dullness will settle down upon the business world once more. Death of Mr. J. A. McClure. I Telegrams received by relatives in this city announced the death of Mr. J.? A. McClure at Hawkinsville, Ga., last Wednesday. Mr. McClure has been in failing health for several months, and was expected to return home on the Monday preceding his death, on ac? count of his infirmity, but some busi? ness matter delayed his coming. Deceased was a native of Pennsylva? nia, but has resided many years in I the South. He has a host of friends in Sumter who will be surprised and grieved by his death. His wife and only child reside in this city and have our sincerest sympathy in their sore bereavement. "Heart disease was the cause of death. The body arrived in the city Friday morning aiid the funeral services were held in the First Methodist Churcn i the same afternoon. MARRIED. Dr. Wm. M. Bradley and Miss Lily Freeland were married last night at the Presbyterian parsonage in Flor? ence, by the Rev. Melton Clark. Dr. Bradley is a popular young physician, of Mayesvilie, where the newly-wed couple" will make their home. The bride is well known in this city, hav ing lived here for several years. - ?-fc? -i - * A Coming Wedding. Cards have, been issued announcing the coming wedding of Miss Margaret, daughter of Mr, Francis P.

Oct. 30-2t There was some annoyance at :ihe I Opera House Friday night, caused by j persons running up and down the steps j and talking in a loud tone of voice just outside the doors. This should be stopped by the proper authorities, as it is qn.ite disagreeable to the audi? ence, ana especially so during a lecture. Officers Smith and McKagen arrest? ed Sidney Farmer, colored, Monday for beating his wife and son. Farmer runs a restaurant on Main street, next to Witherspoon Bros & Co's store. It seems that he got on a little too. much "fuss X" and went home in a bad humor. He did not go to" the lock up willingly,, but had to be pursuaded by the officers. The Mayor fined him $15 or 30 days. The "Down In Dixie" company, composed of students from the Sumter Military Academy, held a rehearsal in the Opera House Monday after? noon. The play will be given on Thursday night, the 14th inst. This play was. gi vea in Orangeburg last year and the Opera House was crowd? ed. It is hoped the citizens of Sumter will give it a large patronage, also, for it is a play well worth seeing. The students will do all in their power to put it on in first-class style. The first issue of the "Sumionian." the journal of the S. M. A. and F. S., hsa been given to the public. For a beginning the journal makes a very fair appearance, but is rather scarce on reading matter and the joke de? partment contains some hits that are hard to comprehend. However, the "Sumtonian" will, no doubt, im-, prove with time. A Liberal Offer. .The undersigned wiil give a free sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab? lets to any one wanting a reliable remedy for disorders of the stomach, biiliousness or constipation. This is a new remedy and a good one. Dr A J China. One of the most attractive exhibits in the Sumter County section at the Charleston Exposition will be that cf the Sumter Water Company. The water will be displayed in a large glass vessel to show its purity and clearness and it will be kept on "tap to quench the thirst of the thirsty. -A fresh supply will be shipped to" Charleston for this public drinking fountain daily during the Exposition. The management of the telephone exchange wishes all subscribers and others to know that they are required to call for connections by numbers and not by name. The operators in "central" can't remember ali the numbers on the exchange list, espe? cially since so many new on?s are be? ing added daily. When you call for a connection, you will hear the operator call "number" and you had better be ready to yell it out or vou may get left. The first exhibit from this county for the Charleston Exposition was brought in yesterday to the depot in the Masonic Temple. It consists of a number of specimens of iron on; from the plantation of Col. W. D. Scar? borough, near Dalzell. Few people, no doubt, ever knew then; was iron ore in Sumter county, j?ome of the specimens are quiet large and heavy. Other exhibits are expected to arrive during the next few days. -- - Reliable and Gentle, *;A pill's a pill," says the saw. ?3ut there are pills and pills.

To the Farmers, Manufacturers and Others of Sumter County Who are Interested in Making a Credita? ble Exhibit at the Charleston and W. i. Exposition.

A. W. Suder, Commissioner. A fine bull belonging to Dr. Archie China was killed at the depot Saturday morning by a train. Dr. China had bought the bell in Columbia fair week. The bull was shipped in a box car, as a regula:: cattle car could not be obtained at the time. There was a small window in one end of the car which was left open. When the car the bull was in was detached from the train and svritched off to the cat? tle pen at the depot, the bull attempt? ed to jump through the window and fell on the track and was killed by the wheels of the car. It is rather an unusual case of killing by a train. Mr. Chas. O' Brien, of Troy, N. Y., has arrived in the city and will act as manager of the Hotel Sumter Steam Laundry. Mr. O'Brien comes highly recommended and is the best man for the place that tie management of the laundry could have employed to look after their interests. The laundry un? der the new manager - will do all work in the most up-to-date style, and they ask a large share of the patron? age of ;?the people of Sumter. This is an enterprise needed here and our cit? izens should give it all the support they can. See their ad. in another column. "Down in Di cie" is a beautiful war drama depicting- scenes in the South during the Civil War. It contains a story of love between a Northern offi? cer and a Southern maiden. It - is written without prejudice to either of the opposing sections. It will be given at the Opera House by the stu? dents of the Scmter Military Acad- ; .erny, on Thursday night, ? Nov. 14. The characters selected for the various roles are all strong ones and every? body should see the play. There .will be other features of the evening, also, to be announced later. To the Public. Allow me to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I had a very severe congh and cold and feared I would get pneumonia, but after taking the second dose of this medicine I felt better, three bottles of it cured my cold and the pains in my chest disappeared entirely. I am most respectfully yours for health, Ralph S Meyers, 64 Thirty-seventy St. Wheeling, W Va. For sale by Dr A J China. A few nights ago someone threw brick-bats into the piazza of the Sum? ter Military Academy. Friday night i the supposed offender was .caught He I is a colored boy and was captured by j several students near the Academy. He was given a hearing before the Mayor Saturday. Another colored youth was arrested Saturday, charged with the throwing of bricks into the S.. M. A. piazza. He and the other miscreant were turned over to Magis? trate Wells' court. The two negroes, who were charged with throwing bricks at the Sumter Military Academy, were given a hear? ing in Magistrate - Wells' court and sent up to the court of General Ses? sions on the charge of conspiracy, j From all the evidence obtained, it j appeared to be a clear case of con- j spiracy. ^ New lot of Ne w Home and New Do? mestic Sewing Machines just received, and will be sold on easy terms bv E.
