As tbe long? bot days of tbe se m aver sea eon approach aod the dulie*** -et" business makes time haa g heavy on our hands it is well for our merchant* to consider tbe early dosing movement. Tbe same arguments %fhieb heve been advanced for a number of years and which hare been proves correct, bold good. It ie better for both etsp?aycr and employee to bare some recreation from their tab >rs, particularly when it doe* not interfere with business, and we trust that our merchants vid again take tbe matter in band aod make the move in the general eleerogoflbe store* at 6 o'clock during tbe eu m m er. Improvements end Embellish ments. A most cordial invLation is this week ex tended to our readers by Mesere. Schwartz Bros, in their new advertisement to visit their Palace Dry Goods Emporium aad Milli nery Parlor. Their extensive business house ha* recently been greatly improved and em bellished and tbe millinery department added Jo their general dry goods and dress making tontines*. This branch of tbe business is un der tbe charge of an experienced artiste from New York. In the few years since this firm established business here the? bare assumed a j position in the foremost rank of oar business | fceases and we doubt if there is any portion of! our county where the reputa-ion of Schwartz Bros is unknown. We cannot attempt to describe tbe stock carried by these gentlemen but simply extend their invitation to the pub lic to visit them City Election. The election for officers to govern the etty for the n?xt two years was held oo yesterday nod resulted in tbe election of the entire ticket nominated at the mas* meeting several weeks since. An opposition ticket was put out at the last moment composed of a part of tbe regular nominees, but in place of Messrs. Brown and Pierson, bearing tbe names of A. W.SuderaodW. P. Saiith. Considera ble interest was manifested in tbe election, but everything passed.off quietly. Our new Council is composed of good material aod we look to them for an administration both ac ceptable to onr citizens and beneficial to our citjL Following we give the vote receivrd by each candidate: Mayor?R O- Purdy, 390 Aldermen?W. R Delgar, 3C9: H. Rytteo berg, 298; A. S Brown, 259; B. G. Pier eon, 221 ; A. W.Suier, 181 ; W. P. Smith, US. The Mayor and first four aldermen named were declared elected and compose our Cou eii tor the next two years. Steter Services. The Cache;ic and fipEscopal Churches were beaottfaUy e?cerated on last Sunday. Tbe floral adornamente, while not so elaborate as en last Eaeter, oaring to the lateness of the spring, and tbe coasequeat scarcity of flowers, were tasty and handsomely displayed. The beautiful Easter ItJIiee growing in such prod igal abundance about Sumter, were conspic oee* among tbe flower*. High Mass was held in the Catholic Church In the morning There were no ?ervices at the Episcopal Church in the morning, but an overflowing congregation listened to a fine sermon appro priate to tbe season preached by Rev. Jobo Kerchaw in the evening. A large party of ladies and gentlemen of this city attended morning services at the beautiful Church of tbe Holy Cross at State burg. This Church is tbe handsomest coun try Church and tbe mo*t complete in its furnishings in the State. On Sunday last it was noit elaborately decorated. At the Presbyterian Church of Semter Rev. Dr. Beanie, of the Columbia Seminary, preached a grand sermon to a large congre gat ion. Tbe day was beautiful and balmy?a typ ical Easter Sunday of tbe South. ? $ em Elgin Creamery Batter, just received by T. B. Corti*. Grand Concert. For tbe lover* of fine music a treat, far j earpassing scything we bare yet had in Sum- , ter is in store. A graod concert of vocal and instrumental music will be given at the Opera House on the evening of Wednesday next, April 16th. The best talent of the 8 ta te ha* been drawn apon to furnish this rare feast of music. Among others who will assist, ve are permitted to mention the name? of tbe following ladies aod gentlemen we 1 known throughout the State for their rare talents, who have promised to sing : Mis8 May Taylor, and Mies Mary Gayer, of Charleston, Miss Ellero*, and Mr. W. L. Arthur, of Carneen, Messrs. Henry B., and Richard C fcchardsoe, aad Mr*. /oho C. Manning, ef Clarendon. Tbe Ave Maria so much admired in Charleston and about which tbe hopes of that ? tity are so enthusiastic will be rendered with j piamo, violin and voice. j Mies Anita D^Lorme, Mr. Lucine Bultman | an4 Mr. Harrold of this city will take part in the concert. J This musical treat is direetfy under the j eeepioon of Mrs. John Kershaw aed tbe ladies ef tbe Episcopal Church, who are puttiogforth eeery effort to make it the grandest concert ever presented oo the Sumter ho*rd9. its ! object is to pay off the indebtedn^is of the Church for tbe organ now in use there. We hope tbe peo pi* of Sua ter aod sur rounding town* and country will reward the enterprise and untiring iabore of tbeae ladies for theirentertainment, by greeting tbe en tertet? eteat with such an audience as Sumter ha* never seen before. The only way to procure a repetition of there too rare entertainments io oar midst is by fiberal patronage.

On Thursday afternoon last the Baptist Church at this place was filled to overflowing with the friends of Miss Lizzie Bradwell to witness her nuptials with Capt. J. J. Wilcox, of Georgia. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. C. Brown precisely at the hour ap pointed, 5 o'clock, P.M.

The lovely bride was becomingly attired in the conventional bridal costume. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreen*?. The happy couple departed on tbe midnight train on a tourof Florida, carry ing with them our best wishes for their future happiness. ???p>? ' Black River Union. The Black River Uuion, composed of the Baptist churches of Clarendon county and a part of Samter county, convened ia the Baptist church in this place Net Friday, and continued in session until Sunday night. Rev. H. W. Mahoney was chosen moderator. Rev. C. C Brown, paster of the Sumter Baptist church, prearhed Friday uight, Saturday morning, and again Sunday night. The people of Manning are always delighted to hear this "young man eloquent," and as sonn as it was announced that he was going to officiate at the meeting large congregations were assured. Our people were delighted with all of Mr. Brown e sermons, and especially the one delivered Sunday night, which was grand, f?ev. Mr. Galphen, of Wedgefield, preached Saturday night and Sunday morning. He adao had large congregations. Sunday morn teg a?arge collection was taken for foreign mistione. it aras decided to bave the n??xt meeting of Catoa -at ?he Calvary Baptist church in this coac-n-t y, to take place on the last Friday in iu*e*ext. Mr. James S. Tindal, of Calvary, was |Kresent and extended an invitation and hearty welcome to the delegates and visitors ai tbe"?Coming meeting. There was no spe dai business before the Union. When Mr. Brown dismissed his congrega tion Swaday night his last words were. * Go? be with yoo till we meet again." Thus ended *. eery pleasant and profi:a-?Ie meeting of God's people.?Manning Time?. ? ? ? ? - Homieide As the result of the careless handling of a pistol we are again cabled on to report the ?eath of an unknown negro at Tindall's depot, on the C. S t N. R. R , this morning. The pistol was in tbe hands of a negro named Willis Moses, and he claims that tbe shooting was entirely accidental, and that be does not even know the name of tbe ?afortunate man who is the victim of his carelessness. The particulars are very meagre, but as far as we could gain them are these. Both mes were in the employ of the C. S. ?fc R. R. And at the time of tbe shooting were on a train which was loading with wood at Tindall's. The man who was billed was sitting in the open door of a boxcar, and Moses who was on a fiat car near by, claims to have been simply handling his pistai when j it was discharged, the ball taking tffect under i the eye of the negro and ranging upward into the Drain, from which he died iu aboat ten j minutes. As the deceased had only been em ployed by the Railroad on yesterday and had gone to work this morning for the first time it was impossible to get his name. Moses gave hi self to tbe authorities and is now ic Jail. While he claims that the shooting was accidental there are rumor* to the effect that <e*eral witnesses say it is otherwise. Moses j was seen on the streets yesterday with a pis- j tol in his pocket a?d was warned by several 5 of oer policemen that he better not carry it as | it would ve y likely cause trouble. He did not heed tbe warning nod this morning we see the resa It. -??m-?-?-? ' ? The Opinion of One ''Farmer." Makxtilub, S. C, Apt il 5, 1890 Mr Editor : Some of us folks away down here in the backwoods, have been watching passing events pretty closely 1/ late, and it is cheering to some of us to see that \ ou adro cate in your paper tlie adoption of the plat form of the late Shell Convention, and that so soon after itsbi.th; but it is completely beyond our comprehension to know why a man would so much enjoy the taste of nice, juicy and delicio-us fruit and in the next breath should want to cut down and destroy the ttee th*t bore it. Now, Mr. Editor, we bave always been ready to believe you a good roan at h-enrt, and we begin to realize the fact that the *?*ry best ot men are linble to err at time?, ar.d eotpe are willing to acknowl edge their mistakes. We would be slow to be lieve that *n Editor of your acknowledged ability and intelligence will allow your pre judice to overrule the dictates of your con science so far as to ruin the very cause that you are working so hard for,?that is good Government. A this vilifying and slander ous abase of Til:man and his friends as you Editors and ma-iy newspaper corespondents are doing is not the way to calm down excite ment and bring about a good and healthy state o? feelings among men who chose to differ with you on different issues. It will evidently hare just the opposite effect, in that such a course persisted in is going to create tbe worst kind of antagonism in the demo cratic party so that if dwgracf, desolarion and ruin dont follow in its wnke it will be sup prising, if the worst should come those venom sltngers will have it to shoulder You should bare it io mind that this is a free couotry in habited by free men, and intelligent free men are not going to quietly euhcoit always to this would be bossiem and abuse that is be ing eternally heaped upon their beads. For bearance is going to cease to be a necessity, tb?n the tug of war will come. Decent criticism can do no harm but often does good ; slanderous abuse without the canse to justify it will no" long be tolerated. Mr. E mor, tbe rule ot give and take ought to be applicable in this case. We s** that some friend in the Ust issue of your paper hap Dominated Joseph H. Enr?e for Governor, &r d in all tbe days and years (hat I have been a reader of newspapers I have never seen such an elaborate boom made ov?r the nomination of any one man. It is really amusing. Now your object in writing such a long and puffy article about your man is b-cause }ou are his friend, for you say your hem and hands fire in the work of making him your next Gov ernor and "God speed him in the race," and I don't blame \ ou. neither do I want to abus* you for manifesting your zeal for tbe man of your choice, but I don't think any of C*pt. Tillman's friends and admirers have ever felt the necessity for preaching such a pleading and imploring sermon over his nomination. Now, I don't want you to understand me to mean aoy disrespect towards Gen. Earle, for I am his friend and admirer, but Capt. Til'man comes iu fcr my first share of admin ration. Now, what more authority and right have you in your great zeal and in your own opinion to give Joseph H. Earle such a puff for Governor than I have in my own opinion j to puff Ben R. Tillman. You and your crowd j won't suppor: Capt Ttllman, and there will be hundreds and thousands in this State that wod't support Gen. Earle. What is the use | for us to turn tools and a'?e complete asses 1 of ourselves over men when we know so well 1 that they are mor?al and all made of clay. Mr. Editor, I am afraid you are going to j fall under the load that you are trying to ! carry. Your man will never be governor <>f ? -Qth Carolina while B. R. Ttllman is in the \ field. You have builded your hopes upon a j weak andi shaky foundation, the very first 1 Ttllman wave that comes along will wash it j ail into oblivion. I don't doubt but that Gen Earle would j make a good ruler. He has had considerable experience in governing men If he should ! be elected and wouId govern the w hole peo ple of the State as satisfactory as he has governed your S?mter Ring his administra tion would be a complete success My opinion is that your man is like yourself and all other lawyers, he wou Id give more of his time and attention to the filling of his pocket than hi* abilities to relieving the horny handed sons of toil. Fari?kr. Won by Winn. The prize Watch that tickets were being gl ven away for. by our enterprising young merchant, T. B. Curtis, wasdeltve-ed on last Saturday to the lucky holder of ticket No ?630 and the possessor of same was one Have Winn a colored man of our city. There will be one grots double case gold watch on exhibition io a day or two (now on the way) a ticket to same will begiree to each person buying 50 cts. worth of groceries until 2 000 tickets are sold. Remember it costs nothing to get a ticket. We sell our goods just as low as though there were no watch given away and our distribution will be always done when haT?og the largest audit c ,es. Every oac is invited to try their chances. T. B. Ce? ?, M?i? Sueet. Letter from New. Sunny Dale, March 31, 1890. Being a new hand at the business I hardly know how to begin mj letter. The farmers about me are more than usually forward with their planting. Oats are a failure in this section. That cold Sunday we had made an end to fall oats. The buds are withered, though the plants look fine. It is the bottom blade that makes the show. The plants are putting out new suckers from the roots, but I am afraid when matured, they will prove a cheat?all straw and no grain. The spring oats, on the other band are very promising. We have a few cases of bog cholera in our j neighborhood?something we have not had for many years. A neighbor brought a very fine hog from the Ma^esville section some time ago. It died after a few days and other hogs have been dung right and left ever since. The disease was evidently propagated from the hog imported from May es ville. Old Rimberts Church is on a firm footing once more. It has a fine organ ? Mrs. Jaines Herriot teing the organist. The Sunday School was reorganized on the 4th Sunday in March with Dr. H. T. Abbott Superintend ant and Jas. E. Rembert, Secretary. There will be divine services hereafter at this Church every Sunday, except the first Sun day, at II o'clock, in each month, and at 3 o'clock P. .M., on every first Sunday. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me ask a quesiiog. Trial Justice Stuckey has said that it is against the law to put out poison of at y kind. If this be the case what is a man to do? Some dogs undermined my fowl coop and destroyed a hundred eggs I had forse ting. Icoun'fd thirty-five dogs in this im mediate neighborhood, and poultry is bei; g destroyed without any hope of redrfSS to tbe owners. New. [Mr. Stuckey is right in his opinion as to putting out poison.?Ed.] Letter from Qui Vive. Pisgah. S. C, March 31, 1890. Mr. Et?ilor : Tbe storm of the 22d inst., was quite heavy. \V?ile no houses in this section were blown down, or no one hurtas far as I have heard, yet trees, fences, &c, went down before it in a secdnd. Our far ra-rs who are fortunate to have fences, were tfom>'time righting their places up. In new grounds the laud was literally covered in some places with logs and tiasu. We are thankful it was nc worse The Pisgah neighborhood last Tuesday, was visited with a heavy fall of water, which did a great deal of damage by washing. On j Friday moruing we had another rain and blow after which a severe wind raged all day, blowing things right and left, causing o? course more work iu the tree and fence line. Corn hns been plan'ed, and cotton planting commeuced. Oats look miserable. 1 saw some the o:her day knee high which looked as if ?re bf?d burnt over them. Tbe ouly oats that will make a crop tbis year will be the spring oats, or those sown after January. Labor is not as easily managed as it was during CleveUnd's reign. The solution of the Negro Problem is a democratic administration at Washington. Every one remembers how peaceable and quiet, everything was during the four years of democratic rule. Chairman Hoyt's address to the democrats of tbis Stats is well received here. It is echoed by all true men of this Slate. I presume he alluded to the Shell Convention when he said, that there are differences of opinion among our people. That is as much recog nition as it should ever get. Sunday the 23d and Saturday and Sunday 29ib and 3Ulh iust. weie the prettiets days of the y ear. Mr. John K. McLeod lost a fine mule re cently and Mr. Keels a fine horse. Miss Iiene . Alleu and her sifter Theo, have gone to Providence on a visit to rela tives. It is amusing to read tbe advice the editors of ?11 gmdes give the heavy-headed farmers.
