Railroad, near Mayesville, was burned on lastSuuday morning. The machinery was very much damaged but it is likely that tbe most of it can be overhauled and used again.

Early Closing. Tbe first of May is anxiously awaited by the clerks, and it is to be hoped that the stores will then be closed at ? o'clock in the evening, excepting on Saturdays. There is scarcely any business done in Sumter after tbat hour during tbe Summer months, and conse quently no loss in trade is sostai ned by our merchants by closing tbeir places of business at that hour during the Summer. Tbe cus tom has become general in every town in the State, and the recreation thus afforded to both employers and employees is of immense beoe St to them. Let this custom prevail after the first of May. What Was It? Oa one day of last week a bird fell dead in a field on the plantation of Mr. W. J. DuR&nt.

Tbe back of this bird was striped with white and black feathers which were covered with small white* spots. Its breast was pore white, with wings like those of a duck. I c had short legs with large web feet which were situated very near to its tail. The tail feathers of this bird were about two inches in length. me ? * ? ? . Smithvilic Items. Sii Ithtille, S.

Read advertisement of this College io another colnmn, and write for particulars to its President, Wilbur R. Smith, Lexing ton, Ky. A Card. Mr. Editor: Please allow me space to say a few words in reply to tbe communication of j "Regular Attendant," in yoar last issue. I had nothing to do with the seating of'the audience at the play on Monday the 11th. The regular ushers wbo are young men (and not children) thoroughly understand their business, but were not engaged on that occa sion. For the last two seasons I have always been on the floor of the Hali (wbenew any performance was given) assisting in seating the audience and tbe only confusion, as well as I can remember, ever occasioned during tbat time, was by the celling of more than one ticket for the same seat, which the le served seat seller sometimes did. "Regular Attendant" has certainly borne his grievances \r. secret and wirb tbe spirit of a martyr, as no such complaint has ever been made to me by any one, and wby he should be induced to blow his born so suddenly and so .loudly through tbe press is somewhat of a mystery as he has bad ample opportuni y to have made his complaint to me personally, and did not do so. Respectfully, D.J. A?LD. Manager Music Hall. Mr. Editor: In reply to "Regular Atten dant,'' we desire to say that we acted as ushers for tbe play "Comrades" at Music Hall on Monday night the 1 ltb, at the request of Mr. Barbot. We were inexperienced, only one of us having acted in that capacity be fore; but we did tbe best we could to help along a good cause, and if we made any mis takes, are very sorry.
