r A STATE BA??K.
Tir. G. A. Norwood, of Marion, who was
bore, some time ago for the parp?le of trying
to establish a State Bank in Sumter wfth the
capital ?tock of $50,000, was in Sumter yes?
terday for the same parp?se. He is very
anxious to have tbe citizens of this County
.. X take stock in this, proposed bank and the de?
sde?ar of. the capital stock be promises to
take himself. This enterprise is looked upon
- - with iavor by some of our leading business
- meir and whose co-operation Mr. Norwood j
will be likely to hare in this movement.
AK HONORABLE ACQUITTAL.
The honorable acqnitm?mTCbarlotte N. C.,
on last Saturday night of Mr. John I. Green
of "the offence charged against him is a most j
* righteous and eloquent commentary upon the
Jost administration of the laws of North Car
-?lina. An account of the testimony giren in
behalf of Mr. Green can be found elsewhere
ia this issue.
LThe speech of Attorney-General Earle in
this case was a most brilliant effort and its
effect upon the' jury was electrical and over?
whelming. It is certainly very gratifying to
South Carolina to have the brow of her dis-,
tjnguished son and able representative lau?
reled with success and greatness and to know
that be ia fast traveling the high road to
Mr. Green's attorneys from South Carolina,
Ce!. Barle and John T. Green Esq.? returned
. to Sumter on last Sunday night after a week j
?of hard work in this important case.
, ? THE GALA WEEK.
The ci ti jens of Charleston have prepared a
" "roost elaborate programme for the Gala Week
which will commence-the last of this month
and continue into November. The amuse
ments for this grand occasion will be of a
varied character and will be of snch a nature
as to please all classes who will be in Charles?
ton at the time. They may be summed np
. . thus :
Firemen's tournament, base ball, glass ball
" - shooting, excursions around the harbor yatch
" . - racing, drill and parade of the Citadel Cadets,
prise boat racing, aquatic sports and fire
works on the lake at Rutledge street, trades'
display and torchlight procession, grandest
? display of fire works ever seen in Charleston,
where there has been some magnificent "send
?offe" of the kind, fantastic parade, Venetian
rsport?n the harbor at night, music on the
Batted and Hovse racing every day at Wag
eoer?&k.
The horse racing will be as good as in
Washington Race Course memory days, as a
large number eJf stables will be there.
,- -Another important feature is- that the
- " Academy of M asic, now in handsome order,
- -under management of Mr. W. T. Keogh, will
"be open every night by MacColhVs Comique
Opera Company.
The items giren above are the specialties.
There will be other entertainments "in
doors," which will greatly enhance the occa?
sion. .

Mr. Editor : The heavens are weeping and
the rain, the welcome rain, has.come at last,
too late for "tater" crop. We heard a gen?
tleman say the other day it wocid be a bad
winter for adding one and one and making
- oue, but we doubt this assertion, if the signs
ol the times bespeak anything.
We are pleased to-see our friend W. F.
Wright who has-been at his home in Richland
-sick, again at his post of duty.
Owing to the slight ad vance in cotton, busi
rness generally has been livelier, and our cot?
ton buyers have been kept busy. One bought
as many as ninety bales on Friday and Sat?
urday, each. Eight sixty-five is paid to-day.
The bayera have heretofore labored under one
?disadvantage, not being: able to keep posted
~?S to the market ; bot we trust in a few days
?fen this difficulty may be obviated. We
ooderstand the telegraph wires are within fonr
cuites of this place.
That Hot Supper ? by ladies of the Presby?
terian Church will be on next Friday evening,
"2Ist instaut in the large new store of Mr. D.
Pate. From preparations? we judge nothing
to fen tice ?the inner man will be warning.
We always like to appear to the best advan?
tage, *od as our "city" will down pnrpie and
tunie, we suggest that you, Mr. Editor and
corps join as on tbis occasion.
We are very much gratified to learn of.

St Luke Items.
ST. LUKE, S. C., Oct. IT, 1887.
Mr. Editor : It was quite amusing to see io ,
your paper of the 12th instant, where your
Bishop ville correspondent had taken up what
I had to say in regard to the "Imagination
City," as being addressed to bim. Well, it
really seems that such a city must certainly
be in existence, and that a great many of its
inmates must certainly carry io their pockets
that most developed machine, "the vivid im?
agination reinforced by a good inventive fac?
ulty," as used by your Bishopvillc corres?
pondent. A's no allusions were made by your j
St. Luke correspondent in regard to Bishop- j
ville's being the imagination ciTy. we cacao?;
gee why "Lu" should have thought that St.
Luke was striking at the wonderful city, un- i
lest it was that "Lu" was guilty of the suc?
cess ia which he, she or it hus wielded that
machine, or in the carrying of it. There are
bot few outside of Bisbopvi??e who think that
that place will be the seat of the new County, j
Perhaps the fact that they think it. will has ]
stl ."Lu" to th?nk that I referred to hU gar?
den spot ; but I think it is more probable
that the former is correct. We, io this sec?
tion, would like to know in what gender is
."Lu," whether masculine, feminine or neuter.
Forest fires have been quite prevalent for
some time past, but by perseverance aad hard
labor they have been subdued.

speaking of having: an entertainment in tbe

is Ititi? doubt as to what they could do if
better circumstances should atterd them.
For the past few days we ba.ve been having
some very coo! weather and a goad deal of

Presentment of the Grand Jury,
TBE STATS OT SOUTH CAROLINA,
COUNTY OF SUMTER.
To the Hon. J. H. Hudson, Presiding Judge
Third Circuit:
The Grand Jory visited, the Master's Office,
examined his books, and found his cash
ledger, in which a record of receipts and dis?
bursements in al! cases are entered,neatly kept,
and regularly and systematically balanced
Vouchers in relation to Estates in his hands
are properly filed. There is a small balance
of cash, in the Master's safe, and a balance in
bank as per bank book, which agrees with
his Annual Report. The Estates in bis bands,
as mentioned in his Annual Report, are cor?
rectly reported as his books will show.
The other offices and public buildings were
visited and inspected at the May Term, and
it is deemed unnecessary to visit them at this
time.
The recommendation of the Grand Jury
at the proceeding Term, a3 to the insurance
on public buildings has not been follow?
ed. They are satis?ed insurance opon the
public buildings can be reduced and effect
ed ata much lower rate, and the recommend?
ation is renewed.
Attention was called to the sheriffs charges
in cases before the Court of Sessions. The
views advanced by the Grand Jury, are sus?
tained as will be seen by the following opinion
of the legal adviser to the Board of County
Commissioners :
SUMTER, S. C., June 21, 1887.
To. the Board of County . ^Commissioners for
Sumter County:
GSSTLEMEX-In response to the request for
my opinion as your legal adviser, as to what
compensation is allowed by law for services
by the Sheriff under warrant issued by a
Trial Justice in a criminal case in this Coun?
ty. I would state, that by .the Act of 1886,
19 St. 704, constables are to be appointed ny
the various Trial Justices of the County ; but
it is also provided in that act, "tbat in crimi?
nal proseen tiens cognizable by the Court of
General Sessions the Sheriff of the County
may be authorized to serve process, and .he
shall receive therefor the same fees as are
now, or hereafter may be, allowed by law for
such services." *
To ascertain those fees reference must he
had to 3ection3 2437. and 2438 of the General
Statutes of 1881, 1882. In section 2437, the
Sheriff or bis Deputy serving or executing
papers issued by a Trial Justice is "allowed
the same fees as are allowed to Constables."
In section 2433, Constables are allowed "for
serving warrants in any .criminal case, upon
all the persons included in said warrant, be?
sides five cents a "mile for each mile necessari?
ly travelled, one dollar; for conveying pris?
oners to County Jail, five cents per mile,
going and retnrning : Provided the Constable
be reimbursed fer necessary ferriage."
I understand the inquiry to be*specially
directed to cases in which the warrant is
served or executed upon two or more persons
includednn one warrant. I' thiok it is clear
that a fee of one dollar only is allowed for
service npon all, instead of upon each, of the
persons against whom the warrant is issued.
The mileage allowed in addition is five .cents
per mile for each mile necessarily travelled,
which excludes the idea of constructive mile?
age, (to wit, mileage from and to the Court
House in the case of each person included in
the warrant.) Butif the warrant is necessa?
rily served or executed upon each separately,
then such miles are necessarily travelled
A warrant is executed when the person
arrested is taken before the Trial Justice. If
the Trial Justice commits him to the County
Jail, then a further charge is allowed of five
cents per mile, going and returning, for con?
veying prisoners to tbe County Jail,
Yours Respectfully,
W. F. B. HAYNSWORTH,
' Attorney.
In the final Presentment of the Grand Jury,
at the May Term of Court a statement of the
financial condition of the County was given,
showing :
Balance from all sources to credit
of County, May 1st. $6,603 53
Amount rec'd from licenses, &c,
omitted in statement, 379 43
Balance received from Treasurer,
omitted in May statement, -1,922 44
$8,905 40
Bills approved since May 1st, to
Oct. 1st, $2,175.14 2,175 14
Balance to cr?ait of County, Octo?
ber 1st, $6,730 26
Bills (estimated) for the month of
Oct., including Court expenses,
?kc, 1,800 00
Balance to credit of County,* Octo?
ber 31st, . ' $4,930 26
Or the-financial condition of the County may
be shown in this way, as per the statement
from the Board of County Commissioners, of
the aggregate receipts and disbursements from
Nov! 1st, 1886. to Nov. 1st, 1887: embracing
the fiscal year 1886-87 :
Total receipts expected from taxa?
tion, and balances from all other
sources, $19,679 91
Total disbursements for the fiscal
year (the month of October esti
. mated), 14.749 65
Balance to credit of Cou nt v, Oct.
31st, 1887, $4,930 26
This balance of $4.930.26 to credit of tbe
County remains after all bills and deficiencies
for past years, have been provided for.
The books ia the County Commissioners'
office 9bow9 this wholesome financial condi?
tion. Whether correct or not, the Grand
Jury have not examined sufficiently to deter?
mine. Balances may have been brought for?
ward to debit of County Commissioners, dis?
bursements made, and acconnts not properly
closed. The books will be thoroughly exam?
ined by a committee of the Grand Jury at the
end of the fiscal year, and -up to the time the
law requires them to make a report. The
conclusions of this committee will be turned
over to the next Grand Jury. -
t'he disbursements for this fiscal year is
about the average of the past five years, as
the Annual Reports of the County Commis?
sioners will show.
Ia 1883 accounts approved and
paid were $11,500 00
In 18S4 accounts approved and
paid were 13,000 00
In 1385 accounts approved and
paid were 15,000 00
In 1836 accounts approved and
paid were 18,000 00
In ?6S7 accounts approved and
paid were 14,700 00
The monetary wants of the County have
apparently fi?ctuated i:i a marked degree
during these years. The rate of taxation has
been aniform, rarely exceeding ? of one per
ceut. A County tax of J of one percent, is
not much of a burden, and in comparison
with the usual premium upon policies of In?
surance paid by individuals upon private
propecty, is a small per centum.
TheGrnnd Jury, would, therefore, express
the opinion that if the County is insured
good government, a proper preservation and
improvement of public buildings and high?
ways, a due r^ard for the poor, and the even
conduct of affairs ?n the various public offices,
the people would cheerfully meet an annual
tax of tbis.amounr, aod even stand the limit
of County taxation, when needed, without
complaint.
The Grand Jury will not at ?his Term com?
ment upon the variety of offences embraced in |
the billet handed out by the Solicitor, in view !
of the fact,- that at? fminem jurist in active
service before us. and learned lawyers have
recently ?iven rearons for the failure of justice i
under the criminal! laws of the Statt-, and '
have suggested wise and practical remedies j
that the Legioiatnrr will, no douM; apply.

IN MEMORIAM.
The death of Miss "Sarah McBride Muldrow
has cast a gloom over the entire Salem neigh?
borhood that only Time can dispel. In her
death, Brick Charcb bas lost one of its best
and most valuable members whose pure and
saintly life was an inspiration to all ?embers-"
of that Church. She was a devout worshipp?
er and exemplary Christian. Ker wtffle life
was a devotion to truth and religion, spent in
deeds of kindness and mercy, exhibiting those
qualities wbich make life appear a garden of
sweets ever beautiful and green. Truly Time
will ooly increase the loveliness of her Chris?
tian character in the memories of those she
has left behind.
Her home was always enlivened with cheer?
fulness and a happy welcome for one arid all
who came within the melody of its precincts,
the fragrant recollections of wbich will ever
esert an ennobling influence opon those who
knew her intimately.
The memory of this estimable lady will in?
spire noble thoughts io all who saw the beau?
ties of ber christian life which will ever re?
main as an enduring monument of human
love and Christian piety.

Oa account of their inability to digest food,
will find a most marvellous food and remedy
in Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil
with Hypopbosphites. Very palatable and
easily digested. Dr. S. W. Cohen, of Waco,
Texss, says : "I have used your Emulsion in
infantile wasting with good results. It not
only restores wasted tissues, but gives strength
and increases the appetite. I am glad to cse
such a tellable article." Dr. Charles C. Gar?
rett, Calvert, Texas, says : ' I have used your
Emulsion for over a year, and have derived
much benefit from it in the marasmus of
children, betrjg tolerated by the stomach when
all other medicaments were rejected.".

Young Democrats to the Front P
[From the Unioo S. C., Times]
The noble army of 600 young men
of Charleston bas set a proud example
to the young men throughout the State
in organizing themselves into a clnb for
the ?purpose of taking active part in
the political affairs of the city, county
and State, and especially to make them?
selves felt as an important factor in the
business prosperity of that city. To
our mind-and we judge , from what
we are told by good citizens of Charles?
ton, as well as what we have lately read
in the Charleston papers-a younger,
more liberal and inviting business spirit
is sadly needed in that good old city, to
secure to her the prosperity which her
natural advantages so eminently entitle
ber to. There must be a change of
business names and customs in Charles?
ton, before she can regain the business
she has lost in this State; and it cannot
be honestly denied that she has lost
much ground in that respect.
The sentiment that 'Charleston is the
Metropolis of the State/ and the 'grand
old city by the sea,' in these days of
"new railroads to new markets, new busi
noss men, new business methods and
necessities in the interior towns of the
State, has no talismanic power to attract
trade to that city. Solid business ad?
vantages, constant and earnest work,
are the ruling power in the business of
to-day, and the man, town or city that
neglects or ignores these great levers to
success, will soon be forced to the wall
by younger, more ambitious and ener?
getic competitors. The business men
of Charleston are surely not so blind
that they do not see the tide setting
against them, and if they have not the
necessary business tact, energy and am?
bition to make some sacrifices to stem
that tide, it seems to us the better
policy would be to change the old pro?
gramme and place younger men, with
more progressive ideas, more push, more
work, more ambition, in the front.
But it is the same all over thc State.
Look at nearly all the old county seats
tn the State and you will find the same
deadalive state of affairs, while within
a few miles of them new aud flourishing
towns have sprung up in the last few
years, gradually sapping the old towns
of their business aod becoming their
equals in wealth, population and busi?
ness attractions. And why? Because
the bu?ioess affairs of these new towns
are controlled by ambitious, energetic
young men-perhaps crowded out of
the old towns-whose business charac?
ters aod social standing are altogether
io the future.
Io those towns there is no superannu?
ated listlessness and apathy ; no waiting
for 'something to turn up,' for some one
to help them, or business to come to
them, but, uniting as one, sparing
ueither labor nor reasonable expendi?
ture of ujoocy, and sacrificing personal
preferences and feelings for the general
good, they build up their town and
themselves together.

IF EVER THERE WAS ? TIME WHEN
Could justly be proud and gratified
at the result of their business

THAT TIME IS NOW.
This season surely will prove the season of all seasons that
will make everybody realize more than ever that our store,
with its vast and marvelous wealth of merchandise, is just as
important and necessary to the people of Sumter and vicinity

BARGAIN WEEK!
BARGAIN MONTH!
-OFFICE OF
DUCKER & B?L.TMAN,
DEALERS IK
G?N?RAL MERCHANDISE,
SUMTER, S. C., OCT. 19, 1887.
BARGAINS from this
day on until Christmas,
and may continue for
about a mile or two
the other side of Christ?
mas if the people of Sum?
ter County will only take
advantage of it and buy
first class goods at a
GREAT DEAL LOWER PRICE
than what they have been
made to pay for inferior
goods in the past* year or
two.
Our Motto is
Quick Sales ail Small Profits.
This rule we apply to -one
and all, and would say to
those that expect to lay in
a supply of goods during
the next 30 days, never
mind what the wants may
consist of, that we will not
only promise, but
GIVE YOU AS MUCH FOR $1
. and if you will give us a
fair showing we think it
safe to say, a* little more
for a dollar, than you will
get elsewhere. In order
that everyone may fare
alike we will do this
EVERY DAY IN THE WEEK,
Sudays excepted.
The old saying has been
going the rounds through?
out Sumter County for the
past ten years (and every
word of it is the truth,)
that DUCKER was the first
? merchant in Sumter to re?
duce the price on Grocer?
ies so . that everybody
could live well and eat a
plenty.
Ducker k Bultman
of to-day intend to keep
on with the good work,
and if the people of Sum?
ter County will assist us
by giving us a share of
their patronage (we don't
want it all) why then your
children's children will con?
tinue to repeat the same
old saying that originated
IN THE YEAR OF 1877.
Come in to see us when
^"in town, and don't buy
your goods on certain days,
when we can do as well
for you every day in the
week.
Look out for our adver?
tisement next week and
profit thereby.
