Appointment.
Mr. G. H. Reid, of Bishopville, has been
appointed Trial Jostice, vice R. E. Carnes,
who resigned a short time ago. We com?
mend Mr. Carnes for his action. There were
certain duties connected with his office that
I he would not perform, and rather than em
! barras3 the wheels of government, he stepped
I down and ont.
I We take it to be the duty of any official,
who either cannot or will not perform the
i duties appertaining to the office he holds, and
which are made incombent upon bim Ky bis
oath, or by the wishes of his constituents,
to resign. _
Just opened, 50 pieces of Armure and Bro?
caded Dress Goods at 12 J cents, same as
formerly soid at20 cents, at J. Rvttenberg &
Sons._
School Figures.
Our School Commissioner, Mr. J. D. Wil?
der, has completed his report to the State
Superintendent, and we extract some items :
Number of schools 100 ; Pupils, white
1449, colored 4239, total 5688 ; average at?
tendance 3127. Of the above, 408 were in
the alphabet, 4035 in spelling and 3811 read?
ing. There are about 1800*in arithmetic and
geography, 1100 in grammar and 170 in
higher branches. The public owns 38
houses, the remainder are private property.
There are 106 teachers, SO of whom are white
and 46 colored, 48 are males, 58 females.
For the school year jost ended $10,703.45
were paid teachers, and ?67.50 were paid for
rent The average monthly salary of males
was $24.50, females $20.
1 Thc above figures are not what we would
like them to be. It makes a satisfactory
showing for colored children, but not
for the whites. If there were private schools
scattered overonr County, the picture would
not look so darfc, but ontside the towns of
Sumter and MayesviNe, we doubt if there are
half dozen private schools in tbe county.
There is an average attendauce of 960 white
children attending the public schools, and
perhaps three times that number at home
growing up io ignorance. This is a serious
matter and one ibat demands the earnest at?
tention of every lover of his country.
Bask.
An informal meeting of the subscribers to
the Sumter Bauk was held to-day, with
Major Moise presiding. Fifty thousand dol?
lars ia bona ?de subscriptions were reported,
and ?tis well assured that the requisite 50 j

doubt of the organization, the first of October

\ publican.
Sells Brothers'great exbibittonal venture,
which is to unfold its canopied treasure
houses at Sumter Wednesday, Oct. 3, has
finally solved for us thc much discussed, so
j called 'problem of life.' That problem, here
I ana now, has resolved itself into the oue great
I question, not of who is going to the big show.
! but who can possibly be lett at borne on the
j great day of its appearance. Having
j thoroughly convinced the public that it is an
I honestly advertised exhibit ion, and that it.s
[ promises are as good as old Vanderbilt's, or
j any other mao's, there is going lo be many a
j domestic mutiny of 'irrepressible conflict'
dimensions, when it comes to deciding who
j are not to be permitted to feast amazement
? with wonder-io?nded eyes, by gazing upon
! its huge pair ot' full-grown Hippopotami,
i strange Woolly Elephants, maje$;i<- Giraffes,
rare Midget Dwarf Elephant, Arctic Amphi?
bia performing Colorado Cattle, tremendous
Tigers, roaring Sea Lions, gigantic Felines.
Monster Two-horned White Rhinoceros, fifty
tons of performing animals.
Tn the Circus department will bf found a
! hundred of the very best nrtists in the world,
j who will daily appear at each performance.
Then all should witness the magnificent free
I street paarade, with its enormous caravan of
I Asiatic and African Elephants, its SulUn
j like army of Camels, its three Bands, Levia
J than Locomotive Steam Orchestra, and living
avalanche of dazzling sensations, which the
average boy would walk ten miles on his
hands to see. For the sake ot peace, and in the
name of universal enjoyment, spare no effort
so to arrange it that all muy take in the best
show of their life-times, and ono vvliose mem?
ory will bc a continual pleasure.

SUMTER, S. C., SEPT. 25, 1883.
Mr. Editor: It is my honest conviction, and
I think it universally conceded hy both the
white and colored voters of Sumter, that
Capt. L. P. Loring is the man for our next
Warden. He is broad-minded and conserva?
tive, and well understands the duties of that
office, and I hope he will get the entire vote
of the town. Yours respectfully,
M. H. FIELDS.
OBITUARY.
DIED-In San Francisco, Cal. September
10th, 1883, THOMAS CHESTER, infant son of
WM. E. and MARY C. DuBois, a native of
San Francisco, aged 9 months and 25 days.
THE BABY" IS DEAD.
And is it true? The baby dead ?
"No ;" gone before-the Spirit fled
To Him-a loving Father sent
It for a season-yes, only lent
To draw onr heart a little nearer,
To render selves a little dearer.
Unmindful of the burial day,
Unfeeling strangers turn away,
'Tis not their child, but raine instead,
Whose name is registered-as dead.
This little coffin, narrow, small,
Contains-Oh, God-contains my all.
A precious little piece of clay,
Reminder of a Summer day.
But all my hopes, forever hid
Beneath that little ccffio lid.
Forgetful of His mercies-dare
I raise my heart to bim. in prayer ?
When he has sent by angel call
For one so loved-my life, my all?
I kiss the cheek, the lips, the brow,
Baby mine not longer now.
The toys with which he used to play,
The garments lay them all away,
They only make me sad again
And fill my very soul with pain.
What's left for rae in future years,
To compensate for all these tears?
Oh, give me hack my child instead,
I can't believe it. Is he dead?
[From the Southern Presbyterian.]
Died, September 6th, 1883, after an illness
of fifty-two days, at the home of her brother
in-law, H. Lide Law, Esq., Hartsville, Dar?
lington County, S. C., ELIZA HIBBEN, second
daughter of Rev. N. W. and Mary Claudia
Edmunds, aged twenty-one years.
It almost breaks our hearts, dear "Lila,"
to give you up, so young, so loving, and so
beloved. But we are comforted by theassur
ance that the beauty and fragrance of your
few years of life, and the impress of the pa?
tient sufferirfg of your many days of languish?
ing Imve left a sweet savor of Christ which
tells us that you did not live in vain.
Miss J. I. Smith. Winusboro, S. C., says:
'I have felt decided benefit usiug Brown's Iron
Bitters for general debility.'

No Grease for Him.
"When Greece her knees-Greece her knees !
-Greece her knees," stammered an embar- j
rassed school-boy, forgetting the next line cf !
his recitation "There is no occasion to |
grease anybody's knees," shouted his teach-',
er "Go and study your piece." Neither is
there occasion to grease your hair. Parker's j
Hair Balsam is ail the dressing you want.)
Restores the oiiginal gloss and color to gray j
or faded hair. Does not soil the liuen , not j
a dye; good for the scalp; preveuu falling!
out.
In the Pilot House.
"Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges a man j
to keep sober as a judge. Of all men in the !
world, steamboat pilots and railroad cn- !
gineers shun Id let liquor alone. For on their :
clearness of sight and coolucss of head de?
pends the safety of" life and properly."
Keeping his hand on the wheel as he said
this, Mr. A. Brockman, of No. 2??? Silver
street. Chicago, noded : "Of course, some of
'em drink ; but the sober oms have the ??est
positions a^id the best pay. Yes, the work
and exposure sometimes tells on us; but for,
my part, I find Parker's Tonic to be all the
in vigora ut 1 need. I've got a bottle aboard
here now ; never go ou a trip without it.
When I haven't any appetite, or am io any
way out of sorts, it sets me up in no timi-.
lt drinking men would" use the Ton ic, it would
I help 'en? to break off. (No, that isn't a light
! house; it's a star, low down near the water. )
! As I was saying, The Tonic is new 1 ?fe bot
I tied up. You sec that Sag-staff? Well, with
j a bottle of Parker's Tonic in the locker I can
! keep malaria as far from me as that, all the
I time. My wife has used it for three years for
i summer complaints and colic, and as an in
j vigorant when she's tired out from overwork.
I She says the Tonic is a daisy. Goad-bye!
j Don't break your neck going below."
I This preparation, which has been known as
i Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be ad
I \eriised and sold simply under the name of
j Parker's Tonic. As unprincipled dealers are
j constantly deceiving their customers by sub
j suturing inferior articles under the name .of
j ginger, and as ginger is really an uniiupor?
' lani ingredient, wc drop the misleading
I word.
There is no change, however, in the prc
I panition itself, and all bottles remaining in
' the hands of dealers, wrapped under the
! name of Parker's Ginger Tonic contain the
genuine medicine if the facsimile signature of
Iltscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside
wrapper:
