Misses Janie Green and Lizzie Till? man have gone Gn a visit to relatives at Sumter, S. C.-Lancaster Ledger. Mrs. E. Mitchell Seabrook and children, of Edisto Island, are visiting Rev. James McDowell, Mrs. Sea? brook's father. Mr. Charles O'Brien, proprietor of the Sumter Model Steam Laundry, was called to Brooklyn, N. Y., Satur? day afternoon to attend the funeral of fels brother, who died in that city Sat? urday morning. Eggs are comiag in to market in in? creasing quantities and prices are de? clining. The candidates for municipal honors are more coy and backward this year than usual. The chain gang will gain needed re? inforcements when court meets and the jail will lose its tenants. There is said to be less cotton seed left in the hands of farmers than at this date for several years. The firemen's tournament is still being talked about, but "how much will it cost?" is the question fre? quently asked. The macadam work has been almost at a standstill for several days owing to the supply of rock becoming ex? hausted. O'Donnell & Co. have a new adver? tisement today that will be found worth reading. Mr. C. G. Rowland has a large and handsome residence well under way at the old Corbett place which he pur? chased sometime ago. Mr. H. S. Cunningham has sold the Saluda Sentinel and will remove to Bishopville in the near future and es? tablish a newspaper for Lee County."* The cotton season for this market is about at an end, although a few bales are sold occasionally. An advance-in price now would be of no benefit to the farmers. The Firemen's Tournament idea grows in public favor and there is talk of a big mass meeting, to appoint committees to take charge of the ar? rangements. The members of the Legislature en? joyed themselves at the Exposition last week and the fact that they are draw? ing $i a day each from the State treas? ury does not detract from the pleasures of the occasion. The committee of council and the board of county commissioners have decided to have a number of photo? graphs taken of public buildings, and other points of interest for the coun? ty exhibit at the Charleston Exposi? tion. Candidates for county offices are be? ginning to throw out feelers and some are anxiously listening for a call to serve the dear people. Hard times al? ways produce a rank and luxuriant crop of candidates. The management of the Academy of Music have just received a telegram from the Rentfrow Pathfinder Co. closing a contract with them for their appearance during the week of Febru? ary 17th. D. J. Chandler, the Clothier, is having a final clearance sale of ali winter goods, and nothing is priced above cost. Refer to the advertise? ment and if there is anything in the stock that you need or will need soon it will be to your advantege to pur? chase now. The Lee County line has been the topic of general conversation today. Lee County had ceased to be talked about for quite a while but the report that the lines do not conform to tho condition laid down in the constitu ion has revived interest. The proposition of the Atlantic Coast Line as to drainage does not meet with general approval, especially when it is taken into consideration that the railroad was granted permis sion by the Board of Health a few months ago to fill the old ditch that has drained that section of the city for many years on condition that the rail? road company would put down tile drains to replace the open ditch.

Mr. Walter Lewis, of Timmonsville,, and Miss Mary Ellen Lampley, of this city, eldest daughter of Mrs. Samuel C. Reid, were united in marriage at j 5.30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, February 5, at the First Baptist Church, Rev. C. C. Brown performing the ceremony. A large crowd was present to wit-1 ness the ceremony, the large auditori? um and Sunday School room both be- i ing filled. At the hour appointed for the marriage the first notes of Men- j delssohn's Wedding March were heard, organ and violin blending in sweetest harmony. The bride and groom en- j tered the church together, preceded ? by the little girls, Misses Susie Dick and Eleanor Mason, Susie Dick bear? ing a silver waiter on which was the ring and Eleanor Mason carrying a ! lovely bouquet of flowers. As the words were being said, which I made the twain one, the audience was charmed with the beautiful music rendered by Miss Florence Durham, violin, accompanied by Mrs. M. L. Rodgers at the organ. The ushers were: Mr. R. E. Wil? der, Mr. Campbell and Mr. H. V. Reid. The bridal couple left on the after? noon train for Charleston. They will make their home in Timmonsville. Eight cents was paid for cotton last Friday and the better grades com? manded slighty better prices. Sales on the local market continue light. If Anderson can build a twelve mile sewerage system for $40,000, why can't a system be built in Sumter for the same amount or less? Taxpayers are putting off paying what they owe the State and county to the last and Treasurer Scarborough will bo rushed during the last week of the month. At present the Teasurer's office is seldom crowded. Judge Dantzler, who was recently elected to succeed Judge Benet, will preside at the next term of court in this county. Ho is holding his first court in the Third Circuit in Flor? ence this week. The Lee County Leader, an eight page four column newspaper, has made its apperaance. Mr. A. B. Cargile, formerly of Lamar, is editor and proprietor. The Mayor had a boquet of black? berry blossoms before him Wednseday. They were gathered in Sunday night by the police who raided a house on Red and White and found the whole gang gambling. When the police demanded admission tho lamp was blown out and there was a hasty exodus of men and women, who went through doors and windows with more haste than dignity. They were all rounded up, however, and were ar? raigned for trial on Wednesday. They had employed counsel and a jurv trial was demanded, which usually consumes several times as much time as an ordi? nary trial. After about two hours the case was brought to a close with a verdict of not guilty. Strikes a Rich Find. "I was troubled for several years with curouic indigestion and nervous debility," writes F J Oreen, of Lancaster. N EL "So remedy helped me ui.til 1 began using Kleciric Hitlers, which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kent my wife in excellent heal:ii for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for female troubles : that they ara a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run d *wn women. No other medi? cine can take its place in our family." Try them. Only 50c. Satisfaction guar? anteed by J F W DeLorme. 1 ' DEATH. Mrs. Hampton Norris died at her home in tnis city Friday night. Her re? mains were taken to Camden Satur? day for interment. Mrs. Anni; Harvin deid at 2 o'clock last Sunday morning at the home of her son-in-law, Capt. J. P. Brock, of Summerton, at an advanced age. The funeral services were held in Manning Monday. Mrs. Harvin was the mother of Mrs. J. E. Jervey of this city. It Girdles the Globe. The fam e of Backlen's Arnica Salve as the best in the world, extends round the earth.

Prof. Spillman expects to leave Wash? ington for this State within the next ten days or two weeks and if he is to be asked to come to this county, the invitation should be extended through Congressman .Lever, at whose instance the investigation has been undertak? en, without delay. What is the use of holding a special election to vote on the proposed amendments to the city charter and thus put the city to an additional ex? pense when the regular election is so near at hand? At the regular election a special box could be provided and the amendments voted on without ex? pense to the city. There is no urgent need for the amendment so far as j is generally known for an immediate special election, and it would be ad j visable anyway to leave the matter open for discussion in the approaching municipal campaign. The various candidates for Mayor, and the Alder manic candidates, as well, may have j something to say on the subject when j they get before the voters. Let tho j I people have a little time to think i ! over the matter and discuss it among j I themselves. The Superintendent of the Rural j Free Mail Delivery has notified the ! Postmistress that two petitions for the j establishment of rural mail routes j j from the Sumter office aro cn filo at j the Post Office Deparment, and that? j to facilitate the work of the special 1 j agent when he reaches Sumter for tho j i purpose of inspecting the routes and ! selecting the mail carriers, if it I shall be decided to establish the pro- S posed routes, she shall notify as ' many of the petitioners as she can conveniently reach to recommend three suitable persons for each route for apponintmont as carriers. She is also directed to receive the applica- ; tions pf any others who may desire the appointment Rural mail carriers j have recently been placed under the civil service r'll'-s and all applicants will have to si md a simple examina tion to demonstrate their ability to read and writ.? and t<? oiuerwise dis? charge th?' duties of the position in a satisf acto ry n i a n ne r. The iire department was called out Sunday morning by a small fire at the resilience of Mrs. McKagen on Sumter street. The fire was extin? guished before any serious damage was done, only a small hole being burned in the roof around the kitchen flue. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. j Alex. Galloway Shoots Himself With Musket. SAleck Galloway, colored, was killed Friday morning by the accidental discharge of a gun while cutting wood on the place of Mr. J. M. Brogdon, about seven miles from this city. Galloway had taken his gun-an old musket-with him when he went into the woods to work and had placed it on the ground near where he was cut? ting down a tree. Just before the tree started to fall towards the spot where he had left the gun, he ran to remove the gun, and, in doing so, in some way, discharged it. The load en? tered the lower part of his abdomen, tearing a great hole almost through the body. He lived only a short time, death resulting from shock and loss of blood. Coroner Flowers held an inquest Friday afternoon, and after hearing the testimony of three eye-witnesses, a verdict was rendered that the deceased came to his death from the accidental discharge of a gun. Mr. Wheeler Got" Rid of His Rheumatism. "During the winter of 1898 I was so lame in my joints, in fact all over my body, that I could hardly hobble around, whem I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. From the first application I began to get well, and was cured and have worked steadily all the year.-R Wheeler, Northwood, N Y.-For sale by Dr A J China. Knights of Pythias, Attention.

I I in the distribution of seed, I have j been compelled to take such lists as I ! was able to get from various sonrces. j Some of these I know are incompleto and likely there are persons who have not gotten any seed for that reason, ff anyone who has not gotten any , seed this year, will kindly drop me a ! postal rani, giving his address, 1 will I take pelasure in supplying him as far I as I am able. Very truly. A. V. Lever. Washing-ton, I). C., Feb. 8, i902. Change in Star Route. Tho star route from this city to Smithville was discontinued on Mon? day, the 3d instant, and all mail for the offices heretofore supplied by the star route is sent out on the Northwestern Railroad and distributed from the Providence office, from which a star route is con? tinued to the post offices in the upper portion of the county.

A Very Successful and Enjoyable En? tertainment. The concert given in the Opera House last Wednesday evening by the 2d Regt. Band was quite a successful and enjoyable entertainment. The audience was even larger than antici? pated as it was feared that the ex? tremely cold weather would deter many from attending, and the pro? gramme was so well arranged and so cleverly and artistically carried out that it was a delight to all musicians and lovers of good music.
