Not having a knife to cut tbem off, he undertook to beat off the rattles with a s?ck and thus broke tbem, was wbv he only had sixteen. He says be killed two pilot snakes about four fet long near the same place?one on Monday and one this morning. Ico Factory for Sumter. The movement to establish an ice factory here, has been so successfal that the factory is an assured fact. As soon as arrangements can be perfected with the manufacturers "of j ice plants, work will begin. The latest bid that has been received to furnish an ice plant with a capacity of ten tons per day is $6.000, and as $5,000 has already been sub scribed in this city, with the promise of more, it is evident that in a short time the factory srill be is operation.

On Wednesday evening, June 18th, St. Joseph's Academy gathered within its doors a large and very appreciative crowd of visitors, who assembled to witness the closing exercises of the 26th, year, of its work as an Institution of learning. It were superfluous to speak, at length, in commeodatioo of this long established Academy, enjoying as it does the entire con fidence of the people. For a quarter of a century this school has beeo sending from its halls many voting ladies, with expanded minds cultured intellects, fully prepared to battle with life, its trials and difficulties. On the evening indicated, prominent among thoie present were, Bishop Northrop and the Rev. Fathers McNeill and Monagban ; the lat ter reading the program from the rostrum. Miss Carrie Marks, of Charleston, gradua ted with distinction, and was awarded a gold medal. She delivered a well prepared valedictory, in a clear and impressive style, j Honors and awards of merit were bestowed upon a large number of scholars in the dif ferent classes. That tragic page from history was finely rendered, recalling the fateful life and bloody martyrdom of "Marie Antionette." Where all did so well it is difficult to make distinc tions, but on all sides it is asserted that special credit is due Miss Agnes Kuker, of Timmonsville, whose impersonation of this beautiful and lovely queen of France, dis played very considerable dramatic skill and talent. The occasion, though one of great enjoy ment, was not unmixed with disappoint ment. On account of severe throat trouble, the learned and eloquent Bishop Northrop was unable to deliver the address expected of him. We regret that our limited space precludes a fuller notice of this interesting occasion. Public Meeting. At a meeting of Democratic citizens of Sumter County at Music Hall this day, at 12 o'clock M-, oq motion of Dr. W. W. Ander son, Jr., of Stateborg, Mr. R. M. Cooper, of Mt. Clio, was called to the chair. The fol lowing named gentlemen were elected Vice Presidents, viz: W. J. Pringle, R. I. Manning, O. C Scar borough, C. L. Williamson, N. S. McLeod, W. Wl Anderson, Jr. Dr. J.'S. Hughson and Mr. Robert C. Blaoding were elected Secretaries, and the meeting declared ready for business. Gen. E. W. Moise being ieq t. ted to state the object of the meeting, in a few well chosen remarks stated the object of the meeting to be the securing of good order, and the allowing a respectful and full hearing to all who may desire to be heard on the 9th July?our cam paign day. On motion the following were appointed a committee to draft and present to this as sembly suitable resolutions expressing the senti men t3 of this meeting, viz : Messrs. W. H. Ingram, E. W. Moise, A. A. Brearly, R. M. Jenkins and J. A. Rhame. The following resolutions were presented by the chairman, Mr. Ingram : Whereas, It behooves good Democrats to look carefully into the condition of the party j and to investigate all charges which may be ; made against public officials with a view to I keeping the party pure and free from such ! reproach, and Wheieas, There are romors abroad in the land which, if based on any real foundation, are worthy of serious consideration. Therefore, be it Resolved by the Democratic party of Sumter County, That all persons having any complaint to make against any public servant be respectfully invited aod re quested to make such complaints known and to formulate such charges as he may be able to sustain by proof at the general meeting of Democrats of the County to be held at Sum ter on 9tb July, proximo. Resolved 2nd, That whilst every opportu nity will be accorded to those who desire to submit their grievances to the consideration of the Democratic party iu council assembled, yet no attention will be given to any state ments unsupported by proof and no respect shown to charges which rest solely in the as sertion of interested office-seekers. Resolved 3rd, That it is due to those in ; whom the people have reposed confidence in the past that they should be sustained by public sentiment until tbey bave been shown to be unworthy. That the reputation of the Democratic party depends on the good faith of its officers, and to besmirch their names is to blacken jtbe fair fame of the party itself, j Resolved 4tb, That the charges of reck I Iessness, corruption and extravagance :n the ; administration of our State Government since 1876 are, in onr opinion, slanderous. That, on the contrary, we believe that all our Democratic State officials, many of them farmers and all honorable gentlemen, have discharged the duties of their respective offices with scrupulous fidelity aod conscientious zeal for the welfare of the wboleState without regard to any class, trade or calling, and that any chargea to the contrary are without foundation in fact. Resolved 5tb, That we deprecate and con demn as unwise, unpolitic and undemocratic, the purpose of the movement, the method of starting it and the manner of conducting the campaign which has been forced upon our party by what is called the March Conven tion, and that we dread the results which must logically follow from the strife so open ed by a faction outside the constitution of the Democratic party by arraying politically one class against others, by dissension and divis ion in our owo ranks?giving hope and cour age to our common enemies both within and without the State. Resolved 6th, That the unwarranted at tack upon an honored member of onr judicia ry is shameful and without parallel iu the political history of our party, and tends to bring into disrepute and contempt that de partment of our government upon which de pend the good order, stability and purity of our society. That we repudiate the charge of perjury against Judge Izlar with the con temptuous scorn it merits Resolved 7tb, That we declare our purpose to remain straigh?out Democrats?that we will keep within the bounds of our political constitution, will oppose all who camp out . side of it, will support for office none but truthful and tried Democrats and demand an economical and faithful administration of the government both of the State and the Coun ties for the wbole people without regard to class or occupations. Gen. Moise in seconding these resolutions stated their full meaning, the circumstances that have called forth such expressions of sentiment and the necessity for protecting our State from any unjust insinuations and charges that may be brought against it. Mr. John R. Keels spoke in opposition, and defending the action of the March Convention. Col J. D. Blandiog in eloquent terms sec onded the resolutions. They were unanimously adopted. On motion of Jno. T. Green, Esq , the City Council were requested to have the bar rooms closed from 6 o'clock, A. M., to 6 o'clock, P. M , on the 9th day of J^.iy. The meeting then adjourned. R. M.
