A very aoigae and interesting entertain? ment was gi veo on last Thursday night in the recitation hall'of the Eclectic College by to? sinai! pupils of that institution. We copy from the Columbia Register the follow ing.account of it : The Register correspondent was among the few fortunate adults whp were invited, and newed" with as much wonder as interest the manner in which the perfect miniature enter? tainment was conducted. The little ones had arranged everything without assistance, and. Lt was a treat in itselfjo witness the ease and grace with which thef committee greeted the guests. The regular presiding oificers,were in the .chaira, and announced 'the diff?rent parts of tr programme with a self-possession worthy of veterans. The programme con? sisted of reading, music and recitation, and children of eight and ten years of age showed i knowledge of elecutionand musical technique that was doubtless envild' by their grown up audience. One coold not but regret, when witnessing the surprising intellectual devel? opment ? of the performers^ that precoci ty was so often found in wrong channels and so sel-' dom in proper ones.

Bishopville Items. B?8Ho?m??, S. C., mj 7, 3888. There was quite a severe wind and rain in oar section last Friday night. Houses were shaken, acd about three miles above here a good zg&ny fruit trees were overthrown and uprooted. Further up still there was a severe bail accompanying, which cut down all the watermefon vines, 4c. W? have had rain now for four afternoons, making all the farm? ers quite jubilant.

Armstrong and Fitzpatrick's Merry Makers and Swiss Bell Ringer* will give one of their grand musical entertainments at Music Hal!, May the 11th. Of this company the Lexing? ton (Va. ) Baily Gazette^ of March 9th, says : "Armstrong and Fitzpatrick's Merry Makers and Swiss Bell Ringers played an engagement at the opera bouse last night to a crowded bouse. The programme, a highly interesting and select combination of mnsic-instrumen? tal and vocal, the silver bells, charact?r im? personations, &c, won the applause of a cul? tured audience. There was not a single feat? ure of the programme but secured an encore. Tbe Bell Ringers made music of a high order. The lady cornetist displayed a wonderful ability. Miss Beebe, the soprano, showed a high cultivation and compass of voice, far above the average. The children acted and 3ang their parts well, but the leading feature of the evening was Fitzpatrick in bis charac? ter impersonations. He is simply immense, and ridiculously funny. Fitzpatrick is a second So!. Smith Russell." .Admission will be but 25 and 50c. Re? served seats 75 ; now on sale at Scbwerin's. Ninety Record Books! "Is it possible?

Earle, was nominated and* elected by acclamation as Chairman of the delegation. Twelve other gentlemen were nominated and the vote resulted as follows": J. D. Blanding 116, W. 0. Cain 116, J. D.

The first nine were therefore declared, with Col. Jos. H. Earle, the delegates, and the three last alternates-the delegation to have authority to fill any vacancies that might occur. While the votes were being counted Colonel J. J. Dargan offered the following resolu? tions : 1st. That we have received from our fellow citizen, Grover Cleveland", satisfactory service in the high office to which he was elected four years ago, and are thoroughly in accord with the niovcm?t for Sis re-election. 2nd. That we specially approve and com? mend " ourse in regard to pensions/ honest mooe), ..ie civil service and the tariff. 3rd. That Grover Cleveland's re-election to the Presidency ort his of&cial record- will afford unmistai pie evidei "e of the intelligence and manhood of the American citizen and will give encouragement to public officers every? where and in every grade to' look solely to the faithful and fearless performance of official duties, and not to conciliating wily and skillful political manag?rs for cbtfrinnahce and promotion in the public service. 4 tn. That we desire to express particular and earnest concurrence with' 5im in his re? cent message in regard to our present tariff system, and pledge bim our hearty, energetic and tireless support in bis manly efforts to relieve the country of its most unequal and unjust burden. Tb"?se resolution? wera supported by Col. , Dargan in an eloquent speech of some length, -, in which he discussed the tariff, free trade and other important questions of the day ; and after some further remsrrks by R. D. Lee, Esq., in which be said that he favored tariff reform as President Cleveland did, but d?? not advo- i cate free trade, they were unanimously : adopted. Col. W. D. Scarborough offered a r?solu? tion, which, being amended, was adopted as follows: k Resolved, That it is the sense of this Con? vention that it is unwise and improper for the coming Convention to nominate Sta?? ??ficer3. The following preamble and resolutions, presented by Mr. McDonald Furman, was after some little discussion adopted : Whereas, a number of newspapers in the State have urged that a primary plan of nominating Stute officers be tried : Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Sum? ter County, in Convention assembled, do re? quest our delegates to tbe-State Convention v? oppose this plan, as we believe it will prove not only cumbersome and unwieldy, but it will also have a tendency to weaken the Democratic organization in South Carolina. John T. Green, Vith some appropriate re? marks, offered the following paper, which was adopted unanimously by a rising vote: Whereas, Sumter County bas watched with interest the career of ber able and distinguish? ed son while occupying, for the past two years, the position of attorney general of the State ; and whereas, we feel that he baa re? deemed every pledge made for him by this tri '^-<'? :-VC *. * ' .- - . " I. '* '*.. C'" . . /' . . . . :V.. v.V other counties ici thc State,' and that in no case hare the interests of the State been neglected or prejudiced dering the term of bis office; and whereas,.'hie administration of office bes been marked by eminent ability and economy; and whereas,.we Jbelieve that the State at large has been satisfied with his con? duct of the affairs of State entrusted to him : Resolved, That we, th?citizens of Sumter County, do adopt this opportunity and mode of endorsing the Hd?. Joseph H. Earle, and of recommending his renomination for the office of attorney general of the State for the ensning two years. Tbs discussion of thc mode of nominating county officers was postponed to a future time. The Convention, after a most harmon? ious session, adjourned. Cupid in Colored High ?if?. The Sumter correspondent of the the Gol um? bi* Register writing tf?der date of Slay 4, says : Quite a sensation -was caused in elite negro circles this morning by the announcement that Mr: J. B. Edwards had eloped with and married Miss Refietta E. Johnson. Edwards is a member of the Sumter bar, and Miss Johnton is the daughter of Rev. W. E Johnson, who, in Jhe heyday of Radicalism, was a conspicuous man in State polities. The young lady's father was tn Charleston, and wrote his daughter to come to him, but she, knowing- that it was a ruse to prevent ber marriage, had a consultation with her l?ter, and they decided to tie the knot ?t once. Shortly after 8 P. M. they watted on the Rev. C. C. Srown, and in a few moments were man and wife. Goliath was killed by such a small thing as a pebble. To-day things as formidable to the system as Goliath was to the Israelites are re? moved by such a small thing as Chipman's Liver Pills: small but effective. Ask for them, take no other.
