Water Works and .Electric Lights.
Attention is directed to the notice for a pub*
lie meeting to be held on next Monday after?
noon at six o'clock, at Music Hall to discuss
die matter of water works and electric lights.
The Jeter and Boardman Company having
failed to carry ont their agreement, it appears
?hat the establishment of water works in Sum?
ter is at this time a matter open for further
consideration; and Mr. H. D. Garden having
submitted what appears to be a very foyorable
offer to the city of Sumter for the establish?
ment water works and elcectric lights, the
City Council desires the citizens to consider
the matter in a public meeting as above
stated.

Strawberry Festival.
The strawberry fe<*tival which was held on
last Thursday evening in Mrs. Mikel Te beau?
tiful garden for the benefit of the Episcopal
Church was a source of intoxicating delight
to all who attended. The weather was per
fect, exhilarating and delicious. The moon
was out OB that occasion in all ber glory and
shed the softest rays upon the scene that al?
most beggars description. It was almost too
lovely to be true, but true it was. For there
was the brilliantly illuminated garden filled
with the prettiest of rosebuds that ever bloom
ed in this or in any other clime, and upon
whom the Sumter gallants smiled most di
viaely. . Indeed it was a love feast and hearts
wereligbt, merry and filled with song inspired
hy blissful but deceptive romance.
Picnic at DesCfiansps' Mill.
The picnic at DesChamps' Mill on last Fri?
day was a delightful affair. The Mill is in a
Iqvely spot and is just the piace to spend a
pleasant day. The boys were as handsome
and as polite as English lords and did the
honors oC the day ia the latest style. The
girls were al li n their uew spring clothes and
were as sweet, smiling and gracious as only
new clothes caa make any pretty girl.
Simon's string band discoursed delici?os
music and everybody present took a hand in
the reel and "tripped the light fantastic toe"
until dinner, at which stage of the programme
time was caHed and an exercise of a different
character waa indulged in for some time.

Death.
Dr. Samuel M. Dinkios ?fc? ai hU home in
this City on Itt* Monday afternoon, after a
lonfc illness. His fnneral took place at the
Bap4ist~ Church at 5-o'clock on yesterday
afternoon, and was condncted by Rev. ?. S.
Beasley who afficiated ?in the absence of the
pastor? and who in remarking upon the many
estimable qualities of the ?deceased voiced the
sentiments the large congregation of friends
who were present, and who have known him
all his|life. About six years ago Dr. Dinkins
had an attack of paralysis, from which he
had almost recovered when he had another
und very severe attack about three years ago,
since which time he has been a complete
invalid. HB leaves a wife and six children.
. Ladies Remember. .
The Bret Jane will be hailed with delight
by all the clerks in Sumter. Prom then on
during the snmmer, except Saturdays, all of
the stores will close at six o'clock in the
afternoon. Ladies of Sumter remember this.
S?: and not seven o'clock is the boar for
cloying the stores, and for heaven's sake do
yonr shopping before closing time in the after?
noons in order that the clerks may not be
cheated out of a minute of the time they are
richly entitled to.
Ve received from Rev. C. C. Brown, the
following, dated Baltimore, May 25, from
which it will bereen that he expects to occu?
py his pulpit OR next Sunday :
"Will yon do the favor to announce that
I expect to return to Sumter on Thursday,
31st, and that I will be in my pulpit on the
following Sunday ? I am in good health and
spirits,, and have seen many wonders of which
I hope to speak from my pulpit, on my re tr; rn.
I paid a visit to Congress, and would like to
speak of this ; but 1 don't see where I'll
bring in religious ideas enough to entitle the
topic to a place in the pulpit. I think I could
work in some words on the National Museum
and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving,
but Congress stumps me. I have the puzzle
before me, however, and am trying to put it
into shape.
A Fin? Fruit Orchard.
Capt. J. E. Atkins of Mayesville is an all
around man. Besides running the Mayesville
bteam Mills he has a model farm and fruit
orchard, of which latter we have been furn?
ished some information by Mr. T. C. Scaflfe
who returned from a visit to the Captain last
weeL. His orchard which was set out in
1882. has 184 peach and apple trees, besides
a large variety, of grape vines and other
small fruits including plums, cherries, cur?
rants, gooseberries, hazel nuts, tte. The
trees are now loaded *with " froit, and Mr.
Scaffe brought home with him a number of
limbs showing the great quantity of fruit
upon the trees. He says that upon some of
th? trees fae counted 14 peaches upon one
limb within the space of one span. Some of
the peaches and apples are now ripening, and
tho Captain will haye a succession of froit.
through the season. The cold weather does
not appear to have affected the fruit crop in
the orchard of Captain Atkins at all this
year.
An Unfortunate Accident?
In order to extract the heated air and to
have the Factory in as cool a condition as
possible, a ventilating fan was put up in the
building on last Thursday and on last Sat?
urday about 12 o'clock it got out of fis, and
President D. J. Winn, and Mr. R. J. N.
Hicks undertook to put this piece of ma?
chinery in good running order when Mr.
Hicks bad ?te misfortune to have his leg
broken.
Mr. Hicks was np by the frame of the ven?
tilating fan and was endeavoring to fix it
when the belting slipped off the pulley and
tightened its hold upon the counter shafting
which jerked off the frame of the ventilating
fan, and as quick as lightning both President
Winn and Mr. Hicks were floored, and it was
a providential thing that both were not
killed on trie ht.
Mr. Eicks' leg was badly broken while
President Winn escaped vitb a few light
bruises.
Dr3. China and Mood were sent for and*Mr.
Hicksrleg was re-set and we are glad to say
that he is doing as well as could be expected
under the circumstances.
A Valuable Work.
Dr. J. M. Burgess, of Qreeleyville, Claren?
don County, has recently bad pr":." d a little
book of 103 pages, that will be highly prized
by all citizens of this section of oar State
who take aa interest in our local history.
The title of the book is "Chronicles of St.
Marks Parish, Santee Circuit, and Williams?
burg Towaship, S. C.-1731-1885." It con?
tains a brief account of the first establishment
of Churches in South Carolina, their founders
and some of their de^'c^ants-succeeding
Churches, Protestant " ??copal, Methodist
Episcopal, Presbyterian, Facts and inci?
dents, historical and traditional ; Early estab?
lishment of religious freedom, and religious
instruction for whites and slaves; Proprie?
tory and colonial government ; General As?
sembly, 1759; Provincial Assembly, 1775:
Destruction of Churches by British soldiers ;
Church of England succeeded by P. E. and
M. E. Churches ; Cultivation of cotton ; Cot?
ton Gin, its effect on slavery ; Founding of
Camden, Stateburg, Sumter; Brief Biogra?
ph^ ; Benefits of a knowledge of ancestors ;
Bishop Gregg's "Old Cberaw's"; Method?
ism in America, in South Carolina, in Sumter.
The larger part of the matter in this book
is prepared faom private data, and which
renders thc book the more valuable from the
fact that but for the work of Dr. Burgess
in preserving it ia this'shape it would soon be
lost, and that it cannot be obtained anywhere
else. The book is handsomely printed, and is
cheap at the price of $1, when the work npou
it and the limited edition is considered. It
was published by subscription, bat tome extra
copies are being sold a* th'e price" named. A
few copies are cn sale at Schweria's book
store.
The Sumter District Conference.
For several wec?s our city has been looking
forward to the convening of this body of
: Christian ministers and laymen in onr midst.
They have come and gone. The visiting
members all seemed to enjoy themselves, ard
certainly Sumter enjoyed having them. They
were truly representative men, from all parts
of Sumter and Clarendon, and portions of
Kershaw and Richland Counties. The mem?
bership of the Conference was eighty. About
sixty were present from first to last, sn un?
usually large attendance. The sessions of the
Conference, presided over by Bishop Duncan
of Spartanburg, were wei! attended and of
unusual interest. Rev. E. 0. Watson, of the
i Wedgefield Circuit, was made Secretary of the
body. The review, as made by vhs Bishop,
? shows the Church within the bounds'of this
district to be in Soe condition, and doing a
good work.
The missionary, publishing, and educa?
tional interests received special attention.
On Saturday morning, Rev. W. D. Kirkland,
editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, ad?
dressed the Conference, making a strong and
impressive appeal rbr the religious newspaper,
as an absolute necessity to tbe keeping out of
the cheap and pernicious literature which is
flooding our country, and corrupting many
young lives. All Christian parents ought to
have beard that speech. Mr. Kirkland was
followed by Rev. A. C. Smith, of Wofford
College, in behalf of Christian and denomi?
national education. He made no objection to
any State institution, but asserted and ar?
gued with tremendous force, that the different
religious denominations of this country can
not afford, do not dare, at the peril of our
civilization to commit the education of our
sons to the State. It was a strong speech
and made a profound impression.
Sunday was the great day of the occasion.
The new Church was to be dedicated by
Bishop Duncan. Three quarters of an hour
before the time streams of people began to
pour into the Church, and long before the
hour for preaching every seat was taken.
Many procured chairs, rolled up buggies to
the windows,-stood up, and yet multitudes
went away unable to hear at all. The ser?
mon will not soon be forgotten by those pres?
ent. After the sermon, the trustees, through
F. A. Tradewell, their chairman, presented
the building, which was formally dedicated
to the worship of Almighty God, according I
to the ritual of the Methodist Church. The j
Sumter Methodists are justly proud of their
new Church, now completed, after so much
effort. The pulpit was beautifully decorated
with Sowers and evergreens for the occasion.
In the afternoon a sermon was preached by
Rev. A. Coke Smith which left a profound
impression. In the evening a grand child?
ren's meeting was held, which did credit to
all connected with it. The best of the wine
had been kept to the last of the feast. I never
saw a better closing. Thus bac come and
gone a most pleasant meeting. Sumter will
be glad to have this noble body o? Christian
men - with us again as soon as they find it
convenieat to. do so.
Court.
Cen rt convoked here of Monday with Jndg
Aldrich on the bench and with Solicitor Gil
land and Stenographer Parrott at their posts
of duty. Little or no business was done on
Monday.
On Tuesday the case of P. G. Bowman and
Walter ti Harby, assault and battery with in?
tent te kill, was .taken up. Moises & Lee,
Robert Aldrich and WJ C. Benet appeared
for the defence. Mr..Aldrich asked for delay ;
witnesses were absent and they could not go
on. On behalf of Mr. Bowman he objected to
any case being tried against Bowman and
Harby until the trial for murder bad been
held. Mr. Aldrich argued at length in sup?
port of his position.
Solicitor Gilland and Attorney General
Earle replied to the objection of the defend?
ants' counsel, and claimed that the officers of
.tbe State were the proper persons to-decide
upon the order of the trials.
Mr. Benet rejoined and expressed surprise
that the Governor had instructed the attorney
general to aid in this case. Major Marion
Moise argued in snpport of the position taken
by Messrs. Aldrich and Benet.
Jndge Aldrich decided that the graver
charges shcnld be tried first. Solicitor Gil
land then moved to try the ease against John
Pw. Keels, assault and battery, &c. -
Judge"Aldrich said that at John R. Keels
was also charged with murder, this case must
be postponed until the murder trial was dis?
posed of?

The match game of base ball between Mt.
Z-ion and Bishopville did not come off on ac-4
count of one or two of Mt. Zion's men being
sick. A game was played, however, Bisbop
ville's and Mt. Zion's managers agreeing not
to count it as a regular game. One of the
fair sex of Mt. Zion said that "scruh or match
we will write it up anyhow." We suppose
she was so confident in her own nine that she
would report it. Well, we wonder if she will

So far B. bad won one game from Mt.

Tbe mass meeting here Saturday, as most
meetings of the kind, amounted to nothing.
Discussed the proceedings of the Convention
and criticised them quite severely.
Col. J. J. Dargan .made quite an eloquent
and enthusiastic speech on Free Trade. We
bone the Colonel will be down soon again.
Nearly all of Bishopville has been subpoena?
ed to attend Court. There is a great deal of
grumbling and dissatisfaction shown about
the wbolesole manner of taking a man away
from bis business, and even then making bim
pay his own -expenses while there. Some 50
odd were subpoenaed this tiefte from here, and
for what purpose? To continue the case,
perhaps. Where is the "justice" of this?
Justice bas truly fled. There must be a
change in this. We need ri and must have

The Bishopville Mass Meeting.
< BISHOPVILLE, S. C.,- May 26; 1888.
Mr. Editor: The mass meeting called for
to-day was well attended, numerically and
intellectually. W. A. James, Jr., called the
meeting to order and stated that the object
was to discuss the action of the State Con?
vention and devise some plan by which the
individual voter could bave a voice in nomi?
nating candidates for Governor and Lieuten?
ant Governor. A. F. Cousar was then elected
Chairmao, and R. 0. Dixon, Secretary.
It was moved and carried that Cot j. Jv
Dargan should be beard on the value and !
sacredness of the individual franchise; and
when be bad finished, we all. had come to the
conclusion that the single vote was of much
importance.
Hon. H. G. Shaw introduced a resolution
complimenting our County delegation to the
State Convention, and thanking them for
their faithfulness.
Mr. Parrott objected to the passage of the
resolution on the ground that the sixth clause
of the platform which endorses the Mills bill
eb or; M not have been stricken off, as our
County Convention bad unanimously endors?
ed the Mills bill, and he succeeded in tabling
Mr. Shaw's resolution and passing the follow?
ing substitute :
Whereas, we, the citizens of Bishopville, S.
C , have learned with regret of the failure of
the State Democratic Convention to endorse
the "Mills Bill," now pending in Congress,
Resolved, That we, in mas3 meeting assem?
bled, do heartily condemn such failure to en?
dorse said bill, as thoroughly undemocratic
and contrary to the principles and traditions
of the people of South Carolina.
W. A. James, Jr., introduced a resolution
. requesting our County Executive Committee
to formulate a set of r?les, and appoint man*
agers, &c, whereby each member of a Demo?
cratic Clob could vote at a Club meeting for
one candidate for Governor and one for
Lieut. Governor and the delegations to stand
instructed to support in Coonty Conventions
the candidates for Governor end Lieut. Gov?
ernor who received a majority of votes polled
in their respective clubs and that the County
Conventions be governed by the same plan.
In the discussion that followed it was
proved to the majority of voters present that
it would bc unconstitutional for the Execu?
tive Committee to take any a'ction fn the mat?
ter, and that it was altogether CJab business,
and the resolution was lost.
On motion the meeting dissolved.

W? do not wonder at some of #ur fellow mer
eftants turning green with envy when they note dur
unprecedented success. We ask favors of no one,
but will continue as heretofore to be the leaders of
the most fashionable Dry and Fancy &oods and
the Lowest Prices ever offered itt Sumter,
We say again our Plucky Sagacity and lietel*
minalton hare been the means of keeping prices
down?
Friends and patrons ask yourselves the question
have dry and fancy goods ever been sold as cheap
before in Sumter ?ts they have been since Schwartz
Bros* opened. We sell our goods at the lowest pos?
sible cash prices and not at prices to suit lieners,
and those who have accounts with us can buy as
cheap as for cash.
We say again, We ask favors of no one.
?ur Low Prices, Superior Styles and Square Dealing fe
what's lifting our business onward.
Whereas we are the leade d of low pri?es we do not
elaint to sell goods at ot below? tost*
