Semi-Annual Dividends.
In the local notice of bank dividends in ,
last week's paper, we stated the dividends
declared were semi-annual in the case of ?
either banks. A more careful reading of the
advertisements referred to show that the Bank .
of Sumter does not say tha-t tbe dividend de
eta red was semi-annual, bul simply declares
a dividend of 5 per cent, on the capital s'ock, ;
wbile the Simonds National Bank declares a :
semi-annual divider*! of i per cent.
The Bank of Sumter his not yet completed !
the first year of its existence.

Sales Day.
The -first sales day of 1890 brought an
unusually large crowd to the city. Th"
.streets were blocked with multitudes of
.country people. Auctioneer Jervey had a
fine field day and his voice, familiar to almost ,
e*eiw man in the county, was beard crying
the heterogeneous property which carne umVr
his hammer. Property of all sorts sold readily
for cash at good .prices. The hark lets of our
merchants were crowded with horses at.-i
seules and horse swapping seemed the chief j
?business of th?* day. More thin a hundred
(torses and rar.Ies changed owners on Monday.
We earnestly trust that the c-har.g?- will pr ,vc
beneficial to some of the s-ock exhibited on
tbestreets. Many of the steeds look?-<} HS if
a change was essential to prolong * zis'^nr?
Little or no drunkenness of a pronounced
typewas seen, We heard a gentWrnan. who
is a close observer, say that a most marked
-change for the better is noticeable in the
country people in respect ?o ''salesday
.drunkenness." lie said that a few \e>trs ?go

afternoons of sale3 days and Saturdays were !
.always full rjf drunken men. Now, a drunk i

Death.
We were pained to learn that Mrs. Mary
Dongles died on Monday Inst at the residence
of her son-in-law, Mr. Wm J. Jennug5,
near Tiizah, in this County. The dec-eased, j
about sixty-five years of age, was a native j
of Charleston, but ha? lived most of her life at j
Cnrcden. She was ?n estimable old lady, of |
more than ordinary culture, and a member of j
the Pr?sbv:er:.^ Communion. She was sick j
but a short time with tpneuxotvra. Her re-;
mains were interred in the cemetery at Tirzah |

Sunday Sermons.
At most of our Churches on Sunday last \
the ministers preached from texts suggested by
the season-the new year, auri urged upon j
their congregations to reconsecrate themselves ;
to the work of the Church in the building
up of Christ's Kingdom on earrh-more zeal
ia their religious devotions-more charity an? j
loving kindness-more active practical j
christianity.
"Toa man up a tree'' it appears that the
great thing needed "in Sumter is the helpful
and sympathetic co-operation o'f the congre?
gations of our Churches with their pastors.
Too much work and roo little sympathy are
given these gentlemen. They are expected to
do everything, made responsible for every?
thing and blamed for everything.
The pulpits of Summer are filled by capable
and devout men. In this respect Sumter is
not surpassed by any city of i's size in the
State. These men do their duty, earn their
salaries here and we tr*:st ? greater reward in
eternity, hut their work could br more ede t
ivelv done if the congregations would show
mor** appreciation of their ffforts by aiding
them in their parochial offices. Without any
pianifestarion of sympathy on the part of the
people, without that active h-Ip and co-opera?
tion which it is their bounden duty ta ex?
tend, a minister's labors become a discourag?
ing task and a disheartening drudgery.
It is like ham mei ing on a block of ada?
mant, the substance shows no signs of blows
and the arm tires of exertion without per?
ceptible result?.
We trust Sunday's sermons will cet be
thrown away.
Welford College.
Rev. J. C. Kilgo, representing Welford
College, preached at the Methodist Church in
this city on last Sunday morning a forcible
?ermon in which he presented the claims of j
Wofford to the generous support of the ?
.Methodists of the State It is the o'ject of i
Mr Kilgo to ge; an endowment fun i of $50,- i
ooo for the college. Re said m his address
on Sunday that he has succeeded in raising j
more than half that sum already ?nd has not i
et visited m<-re than ene-eh'rd of the con?

The Strange Case of Deisy Rob?

mysteriously connected with the little colored
girl Daisy dobinson cor ti nue daily with un?
abated activity. If there beany change at ail
since we last noticed them, these manifesta?
tions are more frequent and pronounced than
formerly. Every day, startling occurrences
amuse and mystify the persons who visit the
room where the little girl stay3 with ber
sister. The pictures hanging on the walls
leap from their places. Caps, ssuoers and
other frangible articles abo*:? rhe room com?

dead of her family was communicated to the
writer of the foregoing letters The paren?
tage of the little girl .'.as been withheld for
obvious reasons, yet in the second letter
the Philadelphia correspondent speaks of
people who livefi and moved and had their
being in this community. The old Joe re?

Daisy.

DEAS Sia: Accept my thanks !<>r thc
prompt answer to my inquiry about the
Daisy Robinson phenomena
For twelve years. I! ta ve been prc-pa ring a
book upon the ' Substance <-f the Sou!." U
will soon be published : h;ive been verify?
ing the whorled phenomena. You apparently
take scientific interest in these occult su'-jt-cts. |
and I have a belirf I may implicitly rely upon ;j
j our representations. ?j
Please answer :
J. Can the girl fftrecttbispower volitionally
or is it automatic?
2. if she can direct the power by her will
is it without bodily action, such as putting
forth her hand toward the inauimate objects 1
3. What is the effect of her power upon
organized, li vim" objects.
4. .Anv specific phenomena you report to
rae will Ir: <iii!y accredited to you in my book, i
Very respect; u l ly arid fraternally,
We do n >t pretend to any theory or opin?
ion on the Daisy Robinson case These phe?
nomena are to be daiiy witnessed at thc
house of tito passive ri-^n? of them. She
seem? to take no active part in them. Xo
physical contact with the articles of various
kinds that cut these queer capers is neces?
sary to make them "perform." The agency
o? the disturtance is unseen and etherial, and
entirely beyond us even to guess at.
i?ea? philosophy seeks rather to solve than \
deny. While we hear everyday the s-mali ]
pretenders to science talk of the absurdity of
these manifestations, the more erudite
knowledge is aware that the greatest dis?
coveries-^ science have been made through
belief in things quite as mysterious before
rheir solution and could we find the key to
.he mysterious manifestations in question we
might open the way to \et nobler ac quisi?
tions. Whether these manifestations are the
results of a power within the realm of nature
unknown to us and awaiting development by
a bold and great investigator-or whether they
are wholly supernatural we do not pretend
to say. But we have evidence that cannot te
controverted that the facts as stated by us are
of daiiy occurrence right herein our midst.

Electric Lights.
The Sumter C^'t'on Factory is now lighted
by electricity. Tue effect is* beautiful. The
work goes on both day and night without in?
termission, and now, with the light from the
incadescent lamps, fhs -operatives do their
work HS well at night as during the day. The
Baptist church is also partially titted up with
these lights. Most of the lamps were hung
and used last Sunday evening in that edifice.
The rest of the lamps are now being placed
in position and kerosene will take a baok seat
on Sunday next.
The nv<st tasty and artistic arrangement of
the electric lights in Sumter is that of Mr.
John Reid in h*s store. The lights are fixed
on chandeliers with an ornamental procela in
reil-rtor behind each inmp. The double
row of lights, tims arranged, running the full
Irngth of Ins large store, makes a brilliant
and handsome show.

Scrivens' Patent Elastic ?Seam Drawers
Are provided with an improvement consisting of an Elastic Insertion at the inner and
outer seams which gives elasticity in movement and comfort in fit. The Drawers are cut in
figure outlines and afford the wearer all the advantage of knit goods while retaining the supe?
rior comfort of woven fabric. The Patent Elastic Seam? which contains no rubber, retains its
springiness and wears longer than the other portion of the garment; It makes the Drawers
conform to the position of the wearer and avoids any strain, no matter what position the body
assumes. Summer weight 81.00 : Winter weight 81.25. For sale by
Brown & Chandler.
