Our worthy County Commiseioaer, . i. Baker, Mr. Henry Spann, Miss Jacqueline Baker and Miss Elma Yeadon left Sumter on last Saturday morning for Summerton, Clarendon County, where they hare gone on a visit to friends and relatives. Our much esteemed aad honored friend, Rev. John Kershaw is exceedingly popular with tbe young people of onr town of all de nominations. With a good deal of unction a bright and bewitching damsel of twenty sum mers informed us tbe other evening that no other preacher in the wide world should ever marry her but Mr. Kershaw. Mr. P. G. Bowman, Jr., editor of that bright, newsy, spicy aod sparkling journal, the BishopviiU Enterprise called to see us on last Tuesday morning and told us all about the .New County which as yet exists only in the vivid imaginations c? land speculators and would-be office-holders. Mr. Bowman left Sumter on that evening for Charleston where be has gone in the interest of bis paper. We bad a pleasant visit yesterday from Mr. J. H. Dixon, formerly of Bishopvilte, but for the past few years a resident o? Spartanburg. We are glad to learn that we are soon to bave Mr. Dixon as a citizen of Sumter, be having made arrangements while here for tbe lease of tbe Branson House which be will take charge of in a few weeks?as soon as be can close np his business in Spartanburg and move to Sumter. Mr. Dixon has bad expe rience in hotel-keeping in Spartanburg, and bis house was a popular stopping place by visitors to that city during the Encampment. Tke Branson House will be renovated by him, and he proposes to mai a tain and if possible improve opon its present popularity. We received a call on yesterday from Mr. Halleck who is here for a few days as traveling aad advertising agent for tbe Dr. Harter Medicine Company, of St. Louis, Mo. He is the same person who recently received some free advertising on account of alleged offen sively partisan talk in Orangebarg, and opon reference being made to tbe matter, be denied Recharge is substance, saying that he is a enneseean, aod that bis feelings naturally are with the Southern people. He denies talking politics, and claims that whatever foundation ] there may have been for the paragraph in the Orangeburg Times grew out of an attempt by him to make a settlement with a party who j was in arrears with his house, which attempt failed in point of business, but provoked^ some personal remarks. Haviog copied the para graph from the Oraogeburg Times, we give tbe above statement, without solicitation from Mr. Halleck, $or what it is worth. He is a middle-aged man of rather venerable appear ance, and geeras to be straightforward in bis manofr. Death. Miss Leila Doby> of Providence, died on 16th instant. The deceased was about seven teen years of afe. Lena, an infant of 29 months> daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Richardson, died on loth instant. Miss Lizzie Crane, daughter of Dr. C. L. Crane of the Mt. Ciio neighborhood died on last Friday, after a protracted illness. The Manning Times : . Died on Wednesday, the lOtb instant, Mrs. Maria . Montgomery, wife of Mr. James H. Montgomery. This sad death from consumption, bereaves a young husband and deprives two small children of tbe fostering care of a thoughtful mother. Religious. The WOrds of wisdom spoken by the Rev. John Kershaw on last Sunday evening were listened to by a large and an appreciative con gregation. Rev. . E. Wannamaker and Rev. W. B. Duncan will exchange pulpits on next Sun day. _~?^mm ? ? -' A Festival. Quite an affair io the shape of an Ice Cream Festival will be held at Graham's Church on Bext Friday evening. A delightful evening is promised all who will attend. Improvements. Our first class barber, J. S. Nettles has re cently made addition to the furniture of bis shop, and made improvements generally in the interior arrangements of the same. Al ways polite and accommodating, Nettles takes pleasure in looking after the comfort and satisfaction of his patrons. The First Bale in Sumter* The first bale of the new crop of cotton was bought in this morning by Henry W. Mackey, colored, who has a farm of about 20 acres near town. The bale weiged 454 pounds, and was bought by Messrs. O'Donnell & Co., at 10 cents. The ginning was done by Mr. W. Ervin Brnnson. We learn that another bale was shipped from Sumter to-day by Mr. John M. Tindall to Messrs. T. P. Smith, Mclver & Co., Charleston. Bishopville. We had a pleasant visit from our friend J. L. Parrott of Bishopville, a few days ago. who gave ns a bright account of the "going ahead" of his thriving village, and future city. A number of new buildings are going op, among which we got tbe names of Mr. 0. C. Scarborough, Mr. A. C. DuRant and Mr. W. R. Shaw, who are putting up hand some residences. We welcome these evidences of the prosperity and building up of our County town. Another evidence of Bishopville's enterprise and substantial progess is her well established High School, with a suitable building and two thoroughly accomplished Professors. We direct attention to tbe advertisement thereof, and recommend Bishopville as a healthy and desirable place to send pupils to. A New Enterprise. We have received a letter from a party in quiring as to the opening in Sumter for a Steam Laundry, and requesting us to get some opinions on the subject from the citizens. It is probable that the gentleman will come to Sumter about the last of the month, and in the meantime, if any one has anything to saj ?n reference to such an enterprise we will be pleased to make a note of it. Also, if any one bas a building suitable for the business please leave that information at this office on or before the 29th instant. Providence Meeting. What is commonly called tbe Providence Camp Meeting commenced this year at the usual place at 5 o'clock on last Sunday after noon. It is expected that this religious meet ing will continue for a couple of weeks anyhow. Bevs. Watson and Duncan are in attendance and both have preached able ser mons. Sunday will be the big day and we bave been requested by one of the most prom inent citizen of the Providence section to say that the public generally are most cordially invited to attend these meetings. "Mistake of the Printer." During the late war, a compositor set up, ' The conflict between the maniac and the minister," instead of the "Merriraac and the Monitor." Our friend H. Dickson Corbett, perhaps wonders if that same compositor is still alive and is responsible for making him advertise to teach music throHijk bars, when he will, no doubt claim that he wrote tkorovfk bass. The Annual Excursion to the Moun tains. The annual excursion from Charleston to tbe up-country took place to-day, and the low rates offered" were taken advantage of by a groat many. The train on the Atlantic Coast Line bad five coaches full when it pass ed here this morning, and the South Caro lina Road perhaps had" ? larger crowd. Cap tain Bradley ofthat road *as reported yester day as saying that he expected to carry 400 or 500 excursionists. mm ? - Dr. Dick's office will be closed after Friday, the I8tb, for one week. A big bargain in second-hand machinery will be found advertised in our paper to-day by D. J. Winn, agent for owner. Attention of those in want of machinery is directed to the advertisement of Messrs. Lid dell ? Co. Charlotte, N. C, for whom Mr. C. H. Moise is agent in Sumter. Tailor Stoney has finished tbe uniforms of the Conner Mounted Rifles, of Clarendon county, and the workmanship on same reflects great credit upon his ability as a tailor. See notice of meeting of Building and Loan Association adjourned over to Saturday even ing 20th. A quorum of Directors not being in town is the reason for the same. Quite a party of young ladies and gentle men went out on a straw ride on last Monday evening, and, after enjoying themselves hugely for several hours, they returned to Sumter convinced of the fact that a straw ride was just the thing to make young folks have just a splendid time. The bright and smiling face of Mr. D. J. Chandler can be seen at Brown ? Chandler's where he will be glad to see his friends and acquaintances and to show them the excellent stock of clothing they are receiving daily from New York. The recenti; completed residence on the corner of Republican and Sumter streets, the property of Messrs. Jesse and Willie Hurst, is most conveniently aranged, and we know that these gentlemen will have no difficulty in renting it whatever. We invite attention to the prospectus of the Cha7itav2van, a monthly literary journal for tbe teachers and students of South Carolina and all others interested in the cause of educa tion?to be published at Bennettsville, S. C, by Mrs. E. C. Nettles Alsbrook. mm -* ?*- mm Active, enthusiastic, well drilled military organizations are valuable in any town. Their value lies not so much in the actual service they perform, but in the spirit of en terprise of which they are tbe sure indication. Nt> dead town ever kept up a thriving mili tary company. It would be hard to find a live town any where that did not boast of one or more. They show that the town is wide awake, by their very existence, and they do-' much: to keep- it so-.? GnenvilU News'. Pires. a last Saturday morning about three o'clock fire was discovered in the office and front part of Epperson's Livery and Sale Stable, on Main Street, and before assistance could be obtained such progress had been made that the entire building was destroyed, with a part of the contents. All the horses and mules, of which there were a considera ble number, and also the vehicles, etc., were saved, but the stock of oats and other feed, and the books and the contents of the office were destroyed. The loss is supposed to be about $2,100 with about $1,400 insurance, $1,000 being in the Liverpool, London aad Globe, upon tbe building, which was owned by the estate of J. M. Epperson, and $400 in the . Y. Home upon the stock, Ac. The ori gin of tbe fire is not known, but there are sus picious of incendiarism on account of the kerosene can being found in the open drive* way by those who first entered the building. A negro who slept in the office had a narrow escape from being burnt. Tbe residence next South of the stable also caught on fire, and was damaged to about $200 it is thought. There was considerable alarm occasioned again on Saturday night by the high wind which blew the embers about, and fanned into flames, the sparks left burning upon the sbade trees; but the firemen were called out and prevented further spread of the fire. During - the day on Saturday, ?re was found burning in the straw of the lot in rear of Mr. Winn's store, caused, it is supposed by some one smoking. It was extinguished be fore any barm was done. Again, on Sunday morning about 9t)'clock, a lamp was discovered ou fire and the burn ing oil dripping down and spreading flames in the store of Messrs. Ducker & Bultman. This was also extinguished before any serious damage was done. These occurrences should cause our citizens and the town officials to seriously consider the condition of the town in regard to our water supply for fire purposes, and urge tbe doing of something to relieve oar necessity. One citizen, a prominent business man and tax payer, who says he voted against the sub scription for water works, came to us on Mon day and asked that we bring tbe question up again before the people, and urge the impor tance of doing something to increase the water-supply* It is important that something be done if our people expect to do business and get in surance at anything like reasonable rates in pood companies.

We are informed that a young man of this town went to see a young lady the other evening, during which tbe usual topics of the day were discussed, but the subject of matri mony was very gingerly touched upon. And be actually left that evening without express ing himself fully and manfully upon this all important and living issue, aod as a matter of course something had to be done about it, and that quick. Well, before he reached the gate, however, Pup was called into requisi tion and the meat on the leg of Mr. Faintheart was sampled and that good. Between a kick and a dog bite, choose tbe kick every time. For these are dog days, you know. Throw the Powder Orerb?ard, were thrilling words, spoken at a time of great danger.

S?MTfeft CorjNTY, Aug. 15, 1887. ?fr. Editor: I see jou take the Augusta Chronicle to task for "bfowing the political horn too early in the morning" for "Gor. Courtenay." I don't see that it makes much difference one way or the other. Major Courte nay, sad to say, has become almost too unique a figure in the present etatus of the politi cal horizon in South Carolina to stand a chance of getting a nomination. Our present day conventions, appreciate more an anxious, hungry look ef a future "servant"(?) stalk ing around their doors. An urgent, humble "tapping" at the door from a faultless, de serving aspirant, has moreaeouDdof "pro mise" to the future in it, to the pouting par ticles of which conventions are apt to be form ed, than the indifference which people, with "old fogy" notions like Mayo? Courtenay, show by their absence. Mayor Courtenay has a vicious way of demolishing the public grindstones before the eyes of smiling gentle men with axes to sharpen, as utterly regard les of their plans as of the ''votes" which they control ; and has an ignorant way of striving to do what he innocently conceives to be his duty to the public. So lie i3 not likely to be "Gov. CourtettayJ' The "right man" is more apt to see that he i.- put into the "right place" at the "right time'* than the people are. The "Augusta Chrmicte" is perhaps ig norant of our methods though, so weforgiveit. It is true that Cleveland had the same sort of way as Mayor Courtenay of trusting Albany political officials, and tbe people of New York foolishly made him Governor, and tbe people of tbe United States more foolishly made him president-^-perhapa the "Chronicle" expects a political earthquake to make our next Governor out of a man who truly serves the people and attacks bumbuggery and fraud wherever it appears. This letter may appear uncalled for at the present time, but no one can deny that Mr. Courtenay is a very inter esting "unknown quantity" in South Caro lina ; and ifit be any satisfaction to him, he may rest assured that a great many people through the country "believe in him" and think that he is one "thing" Charleston has of which the State onght to be proud, in spite of all the sputtering political aspirants, of high or low degree, or the verbose advertise ments of "carpet-bag" blatherskites in town. A Farmer. Carter's Crossing Dots. Mr. Editor : It is said humanity is a grum bling lot of discontented beings. Can tbey be blamed for being such just now when the heat is actually intolerable and sttipping fodder is on band, for that is our present occupation. Some, I hear, have started to pick cotton. Last week, the citizens of Carter's Crossing offered op their sacrifice of time to the pub lic highways^ One of our citizens appear ed to be a delinquent, not thinking it neces sary to 3end a substitute or a reasonable ex cuse to the overseer, for which he was duly tried before our Trial Justice Baskins and fined fifteen dollars and costs of the court. Said citizen declared himself not satisfied with tbe verdict and gave bond in two hundred dollars and will appeal to the court of General Sessions. His plea was that be was not legally warned, i. e. tbe warner sent a sub stitute. This trial elucidated to what resorts some people will have recourse to avoid pub lic duty, and no doubt these are tbe very one3 that will clamor loudest should some accident befall them on the public highways, for which they can hold the county responsible. We congratulate the overseer for the persist ency be displayed in bringing this delinquent to justice. It sounds like the administration of Cleveland: To mete out justice where jus tice belong?. --j*A. B. PROSPECTUS ? of? THE DAILY SUN. JOHN McELREE; Proprietor. A. B. WILLIAMS, Editor. The 6rst issue of the Daily Sun. will appear on or about Monday, August 15th, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the paper will be issued at that hour every week day there after, from its office, 25 Broad Street, Charles ton, S. C. The Sun will be an absolutely independent newspaper, giving the news of tbe day and offering opportunity for tbe free expression of all shades of popular sentiment. It will not be tbe organ or opponent of any person, party or faction, but will be always ready and will ing to defend the rights of tbe people, to assail corruption, or incompetence in the ad ministration of public affairs, or to defend honest and capable officials from unjust or unreasonable assaults. While it will not be apolitical paper, its general editorial policy will be in accord with the real principles of the Democratic party of this Country. The Sun will be a business enterprise, orig inated and conducted by business men for for business purposes. It is not intended to antagonize or injure any other enterprise ; its interest or pleasure wiil be to help, by all just methods, the upbuilding and develop ment of this City and State ; to give its aid in promoting tbe establishment of new enter prises and industries, and tbe prosperity of all those already existing; to join, with all its strength, in every effort to push Charleston forward and maintain her pre-eminence among the South Atlantic cities The Sun is an experiment for the South, a step in the direction of cheap reading for the people. It will be sold at three cents a copy and delivered, or seat by mail at $5.00 a year, ?3.00 for six months, fifty cents a month, fifteen cents a week ; and its proprie tor confidently believesthatit will beso success ful that other Southern newspapers will grad ually follow the uew departure and learn to prosper, as the Northern and Western jour nals do, by putting the news of the time, and intelligent reasoning within the reach of the poorest. The Sun will be a four page, twenty-four column s"heet, printed with clear type and ar ranged in good style. It will shine fur all. Its low price insures for it a large circula tion and makes it an advertising medium worthy tbe attention of all business men. Ross A. Smith is soliciting agent, and will call on you for subscriptions, and also furnish rates for transient or contract advertisements. For the present, subscriptions, advertisements and other communications for the Sun can be sent in the care of JOHN McELREE, 2G7 King Street, Charleston, S. C. State of South Carolina.

A few days ago a farmer in Sumter County near town, was congratulated on having such fine healthy children. He replied that ever since he has been using O'Connor's Patent Bread and Cinnamon Rolls, be lias seen the improvement himseif. So we advise every one in Sumter County and town to try them. THE DARKEST HOUR. For a, period of four years I've been a Vic* tim of a severe and agonizing case of Saft Rheum, which affected my hands to euch an extent that they almost became a burden. My hand became raw and horrifying, com pelling me to keep it covered all the time. ve spent hundreds of dollars for various preparations, but instead of beneGtting my condition, they all seemed to stimulate and encourage the progress of the miserable dis ease, until I bad about given up all hope. Buttbank heaven, "the darkest hour j3 just before day," and I am rejoiced to koow that a positive cure has been found, which is known as . . B.?Botanic Blood Balm. My family all rejoice at its magical curative powers in giving me relief. My hand has been cured and resembles a burnt surface after being healed over, more than anything else. It has also cured my two children of a loathe some form of Itch which had resisted all pre vious treatment. I refer to any business house in Moody and to Thomas Payne, Drug gist, of whom I purchased the goods. Sign ed, W. A. Bryant. Moody, Texas, April 27, 1836. FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES. For two years I have beeo confined to bed with a loathsome form of Blood Poison, which bad about eaten me tip, and I and others had no hope of a recovery. For a while I could neither walk, sit down, nor lie down, only in misery as my flesh elemed to be falling off my bones in pieces as big as a hen egg. My ap petite was lost, rny bones ached and pained me, and friends even shunned me. I used various blood purifiers wthout benefit, and several physicians treated me until large sums of money bad been expended, but not one par ticle of good did any one give me. On the 9th of February, 1886, Mr. F. R. Jackson called to see if I was not dead, as it was thought I could not endure my suffering much longer, lie concluded to try B. B. B. oo me and got a bottle from Mr. Brockington, at Beaufort, S.
