The Sumter Institute Commence ment. The large crowd of friends, patrons and invited guests who attended the Art Recep tioa at the Sumter Institute on Monday night last were well repaid for their presence. The Art exhibit was decidedly above the average in merit?some pictures showing traces of real talent. The number of pictures bung were unusually large, showing that the talented instructress in art, Miss Stephens, has not been idle. The evening was further enlivened by elocutionary recitations by the pupils also of Miss Stephens. The following ^program was given : ' "Darius Green and his--Flying Machine"? Miss Lei a Dick. "The Young Soldier"?Miss Agnes Rich ardson. "Bessie and I"?The Misses Hughson. "The Wooing of Henry the Fifth"?Miss Mary Scott. "The Painter of Seville"?Miss Nonie Harvin. "Robert of Sicily"?by five young ladies. Last night was wholly given to the concert. The program published below was well rendered. The proficiency of the pupils reflected great credit upon their accomplished teacher, Miss Terry. The songs were happily selected with perfect adaptation to the voices of the singers and the instrumental pieces' were in many instances, artistically and brilliantly executed. Miss Terry's reputation as a teacher of music and vocalization is deservedly high, and her popils showed evidence of careful train ing, -v p20grammb. Qui Vive?Ganz? Miss Delgar. and Miss Haile.

To tbe Editor of The News and Courier : I beg that yon will allow me the use of your columns to say to those of my friends and fellow citizens in different parts of the State who have earnestly requested me by letters and petitions to come out as a candidate for the Gubernatorial nomination of onr party that I have determined, after mature delibera tion and a careful study of the questions now agitating our people, to accede to their wishes. I will be present at the opening meeting of tbe campaign in Greenville next Tuesday. June 10, where I will declare tbe motives and considerations which prompt me to enter I upon the canvass. My efforts in tbe coming campaign will be directed toward maintain ing tbe integrity of the Democratic party at all hazards.and the propagation of those views on economic and political questions that are based on intelligent sentiment without re gard to any class or faction. If defeated I shall accept the result without bitterness, feeling that I have performed a duty I ewe to my people as a citizen who has been honored and trusted by them in the past. Jos. H. Earlk. Sumter, June 4, 1890. Tbe Confederate Monument Editor Watchman and Southron : The current report that the Trustees of the'Graded School are desirous of placing their building upon Monumental Square has "given cause for considerable feeling among those ladies who were first and foremost with their means, their labor and tbeir time in having erected a Monument to our Con federate dead, and obtaining an eligible site for that purpose. For many years the mothers, sisters and daughters of the honored dead labored faithfully for the ac complishment of tbe object so near their hearts, and continued in the g >od work until a lasting monument was reared to commemo rate the noble deeds , and heroic death of these sons cf the South'. Many of them now feel that the beautiful location obtained through their efforts and the good will of oiheis should be devoted to no other purpose, however laudable it may be; but that our City Fathers should yearly expend , a small amount to keep up and beautify this spot sacred to the memory of our dead. They have requested that 1 call the attention of those who are anxious to locate a School House upon the spot to tbeir wishes and feelings in this matter, and also, to the legal and other obstacles that lie in their way. First, this property is deeded to certain Trustees to "hold the said premises for the use, benefit and behoof of the said Ladies' Monumental Association of Sumter County, S. C, whether such Association be or be not now or at any time hereafter legally incor porated and shall and will hold, put and apply said premises to such uses, intents and purposes as shall be by said Monumental Association appointed and directed and to no other use, intent or purpose whatsoever." The Tru3tess have no authority except such as may be given unto them by the Ladies' Monumental Association, for they are further required to apply this property to no other use or purpose except such as shall be "indi cated and directed in writing by the said Monumental Association." A part of the property was given to the Association by the heirs of the late Col. John B Miller, and if J am correctly informed these heirs object to thense of this land for any other purpose than that for which they granted it. While they have no legal rights in this matter should not their wishes be respected when they gave up their own properly for the uses of a Confederate Monument? By all means have a school Building with grounds and surroundings that will be an ornament to our town, but do not even attempt to infringe upon the rights and tbe feelings of these ladies to whom we owe so mnch for obtaining an eligible location and erecting thereon a monu ment in grateful remembrance of onr honored dead. An Old Confbdbrats. Letter from Qui Vive. Pisgah, S. C, June 2, 1890. Last year May was dry, cool and windy. This year, wet, calm and hot. What a con trast! Crops are growing finely. So is grass, which is above par. Labor scarce, mere so than in year3. Tbe reason, I pre sume, ismore rations and politics. Several planters will have to abandon part of their cotton as it would not pay to clean it. The oat crop will be better than expected. Heads are well filled out. Politics as yet are very quiet. I presume when the clubs be re organized tbe "dear people" will show their hands as to whether they are Ttllman or Anti-Tillman. Till then we will be busy trying to make something for the politicians to live on in the future. Dolly Hawkins, a colored woman, was ku-kluxed not long since, for deeds that Dolly should not do, is presumed. Dolly in her wrath for the beating she got swore*ut warrants against some of the best colored men in this section as the parties who whip ped her. Now it seems that Dollv has re pented of her hasty action, for now she is wanted as prosecutor, and diligent search on tbe part of the Sheriff can't locate her. ' Poor Dolly she seems to be in trouble. How contemptible, and what low traits of character are shown, for people to listen to one side of a story, aDd make their minds up without hearing the other side. It is unsafe to live by, or deal with such people, who should never bold office. Mr. Editor, dou't you know that a person can't punctuate well who don't write regular ly, however well educated they may be, juet for the want of practice, Jike one who is always at it, yourself for instance. Qui Vivb. [No, we do not know it. A "well educated" person should know how to punctuate, and tbere is no reason why any one should get out of practice. If the above question has refer ence to our requirement that political articles shall be punctuated, we will, for tbe informa tion of our correspondent, and also tbe pubiic at large, explain that, when an an article is written so that it is not exactly clear what the writer really means to say, and by a difference in the placing of punctuation points tbe words as written can be made to express opposite meanings, it is better tbat the article be published as it is written, than tbat we should punctuate it according to our views when the writer don't mean to say that.?Ed.] Wire Trellises at Durant & Belitzer.

Senator Marion Moiso of Sumter county came down to tbe city a few days ago to spend a while, but when he got to the North eastern depot he was without baggage. It was thus be lost it : When the traiu slacked speed at the junctiou a negro jumped on, walked in the car, took op the young Senator's valise, which was the most promising looking in the car, and stepped off again. The whole thing was done so quickly and so quietly that nobody knew exactly what to do, nor realized what had been done until they saw the darkey disappearing in the Woods. Could this baee been Bob Brewer ? No need to take those big cathartic pills; one of Dr. J. II. McLean's Liver and Kidney Piilets is quite sufficient and more agreeable. ??>- - I Am Not Mad. While Douglass Jerrold, the author, was ill, he was sent a copy of Browning. He read awhile, then handed tbe book to bis wife and asked her to read. She did 60 and ad mitted tbat it was equally incomprehensible to ber. "Thank Heaven," said Jerrold, I then am not mad." This wa3 rough on Browning, but we of this section would have found Jerrold at fault on one score, though knowing of the many medicinal virtues of the tree, he should at the critical time fail to have a bottle of Dr. Westmoreland's Calisayr? Tonic at his side. All wives should see that this wonderful remedy is in their homes always. Chronic headache, want of appetite, nervous exhaustion, general debility, torp:d liver, impure blood, derangement of the kid neys and malarial poisoning find an absolute remedy in tbe Tonic.
