Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock fire was discovered in the picking room of the Sumter Cotton mill. The sprink? lers which are placed through the en? tire mill worked to perfection, and it l was only a few moments before the entire room was flooded. The cotton was immediately removed to the yard where it continued to burn at inter? vals the entire night. , The loss was small and in no way interferes with the operating of the mill. The first batch of recruits left Tues? day afternoon, entering the naval service. James White and Pressly Tisdale, will report to Port Royal and Donald White, formerly connected with the W. U. T.

There was a large assemblage of rela? tives and friends and a concourse of citizens generally from far and near, thus attesting by their presence, a due respect and regard for the deceased as well as the high esteem entertained for the character, worth and wide popularity of Harvey Wilson whose friends comprise legions here and over the State. Among those attending from Sumter was noted the presence of Senator R. I. Manning and Honor? ables Thos. B. Fraser, Altamont Moses, H. F. Wilson and others. The solemn services were conducted by Rev. V. R. Gaston while a sym? pathizing silence and profound respect for the bereaved living and blessed dead marked every moment engaged. Another marked, because rare fea? ture of this and a few other funerals nowadays, and one that is signcfiant as evincing high regard for trne worth, 'was the voluntary presence of large numbers of colored people, thereby demonstrating there affection for and appreciation of the bereaved and the dead. A genuinely wann and lively sym? pathy is being extended to our esteem? ed friend and citizen by his old com? rades and the whole community in this his time of sore desolation. J. M. R. MARRIED. .

He has spent nineteen years in Brazil, and is thorouglhy conversant with social, religious, political and industrial con? ditions in that wonderful country. He is an interesting speaker, and those who had the privilege of bearing him were highly entertained and instructed. Recently the'government of the State of Murias has removed its capital to a new site, and is projecting a fine city on modern plans. The legislature of that State has given an entire square in the heart of the capital city to the Southern Methodist Church, on condition that they erect thereon a church, a parsonage and a school. This is recognized as a valuable con? cession to a Protestant Church, and Dr. Tarbeau is attemping to raise six thousands of dollars in South Caro? lina towards the buildings. The contributions received yesterday were generous. The. native Methodists of Murias have subscribed six thou? sands of dollars also. These sums will be supplemented'by the Church Ex? tension Board of the Church, and the work bids fair to become an accom? plished fact in the near future.
