Read tbe advertisement of the Sumter Book and Novelty Co., in this issue, and save money by dealing with them. (Communicated.) ? Statement of Facts. It having come to my knowledge that an impression exists in the minds of many in this community, that tbe teachers elect in the Graded School were not notified of tbe reduc tion in tbeir salaries in due time, I desire to State that letters were mailed on July 2nd to etery teacher elect, notifying them of the fact of tbeir election esd of the reduction oi salaries, giving also the reason for this action and regretting its necessity Tbe replies of every teacher elect, but one, accepting tbeir positions at tbe reduced salary, are on file in the office of our Secreta ry, and are open, as aie all tbe acts and pro ceedings of the Board, to tbe inspection of the public. Tbe one exception above noted ba? since accepted the position offered, at tbe reduced salary. In view of these facts it is impossible reasonably to claim that tbe re daction acted as a su prise to the parties con cerned, or that time was not given sacb as were dissatisfied to look for work elsewhere. A Member of the Boasd. **A Way Out of the Woods." Mr. Editor : It h a well known fact thai tbe asasses of the Demoratic party of Su mer County?Tillman a ad a n ti-Til Ima n?earnestly desire cnion and b&rmony ; and it is equally wall known that this most desirable condition would soon be reached were it not for a few extremists on either side. Tbe "Straight outs" have held a primary and nominated a ticket. Tbe Tillmanites will pnt np a ticket for tbeir faction, and a contest is inevitable. Now, which is better: to settle tbe fight -inside tbe Democratic ranks, or to go into the general election divided? If, in November, there are two white tickets in Samter County, there will be an appeal to tbe negro by one or both factious, Democratic unity will be des troyed, and the result will be disastrous. Can white Democrats who went through '76 consent to this condition of things? They cannot, and to avoid this danger ongbt to be the aim of every true man in Scmter County. Your correspondent bas beard a plan mooted, which, if it proves to be practicable, would be a solution of the whole matter, and here it is : Let tbe two factions come to an understand ing regarding tbe County Chairmanship. Let the Tillmanites pnt a ticket in tbe field, nominated by a primary or convention con ducted exclusively by tbeir faction. Then let a general election be ordered, at which only Democrats will be allowed to vote : pit one ticket squarely against tbe other and let tbe candidates receiving tbe highest number of vote* be declared tbe regular Democratic County ticket. With each side pledged to abide by tbe result, we would then go into tbe general election with an unbroken front, having had the contest in our own ranks and settled it there. As I said in the beginning, tbe agitation is kept up by extremists? principally office-seekers?on both sides. By the plan proposed these men, with tbeir ideas, would go before the whole people, and they should be satisfied with tbe result, and Set us have peace. With conservative men at tbe bahn?men who recognize tbe rights of their opponents, and wbo are striving for that union in our r?nks which is essential to tbe pr?servation of white supremacy, all will yet be well.

Earle Club, -Basting 21 votes, sent in returns too late to be tabulated, making no difference, however, in the result. Proceedings of Court. The court of Genera! Sessions convened on Monday at 10 o'clock a m, with Hon. T. B. Fraser presiding. Notwithstanding the raw, inclement morning, jurors and officers were prompt in their places, and the Judge charged the Grand Jury briefly, substantially as follows : That being the third term there was very little instruction for him to give. Our duty is to administer and not reform tbe law. He went on to say that it was their part to supervise the officers, and to see that the officers of the law properly administered them. If there were any charges to be made it was incumbent on them to prefer them. It was a duty to themselves, the County and officers that they should be punished or ex b on era ted as the case might be. He had heard no special charges.. He refrained'from giving them any parti cular definitions of the law. Not being law yers, be said, they would not be likely to remember them. It would be their duty, in considering indictments to see that prima facie case was made out. After a few re marks upon their general duty, His Hoaor turned them over to tbe Solicitor. Solicitor WilSou then gave out several bills to tbe Grand Jury. The following cases were disposed of on Monday : The State vs. Jack Harrell?Assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. Guilty. The State vs. Wesley Rose?House break ing aod larceny. Prisoner plead guilty. Tbe State vs. Charlie McRae?Larceny from field. Prisoner plead guilty. Tbe-State vs. Joe Cowens?Stealing corn from the field. Verdict not guilty. Tbe following on Tuesday : Tbe State vs. Staggers Thompson?Assault with intent to kill.

Suppose in some strange want of reason she should "object" to your paying anything for the support of the Gospel ; for the education of your children ; for a good family newspaper ; to your calling a physician it she or one of the children was dangerously ill; to your potting something in a savings bank ; to your providing suitable clothing and food for yonr household?would all these "objections" affect your duty as a husband and father of a family? Many a mistaken wife has "objected" to berhnsband providing the com forting anchor of life, and when be, the bread winner, was unexpectedly called from earth, has found herself and children dependent upon humiliating charity. If yonr wife does "object," your duty still remains to provide for the fatore support of your family?the education and comfort of its members. Go at once to the Agent of the Peon Mutual Life of Philadelphia, apply for such an amount as yon feel you ought to leave your family ; when the policy is-received put it in your safe or other depository of valuables ; pay your premiums promptly and have the continuing security and satisfaction of a duty done. Under most favorable circum stances it will not be a long time before the claim of your life policy will mature. Then when yoor business papers are examined, and perhaps unexpectedly is foond that valuable policy of life insurance; and when the representative of the Company tenders its check in payment of the full amouot, be assured your children will bless your memory and the bereaved widow will not then "object." For any information apply to A. C. Phelps, Agent, Sumter, S. C. Joseph S. Bean, Gen'l Agent, Augusta, Ga. Plastico, mised with a liu'e water makes a splendid substitute for KalsomiDe or wall paper.
