This would indicate, when we consider the tory huge demand existing for such mate? rial io Sumter, that the establishment of a factory of that tort ia this place would be a pajfng io vestment. A Telephone Excitan ge. While improvements of ali aorta are. being ia trod need io to our city, it would be worth j tot ?hile of some enterprising man to post himself 00 the cost of est&blisbiag a telephone exchange, and vigt our merchants and other botines* men wi lb i view of securing a suffi? cient nanber of subscribers to warrant .the .ttahtohment of a telephone service le Sum? ter.

E Wells was oarr?e?to Miss Grace Brownson, daughter of Mr. W. G, Brownson, formerly .Genera. Manager of the C. S. k N. R. R, by Rev. C. C: Brown, at :he Grand Central Hotel in Columbia. The bridal party return ed to Sumter on the afternoon train, and went to Summerton the next day. Capt. J. P. Brock and bis most excellent lady welcomed the party, with their friends, and entertained them with an excellent supper, all of which was copiously enjoyed, by one of the party at least. The Columbia Record, in reporting this marriage, got the name? most sadly mixed, and left the impression that the officiating minister was married by the groom to the ?h???y who was, the rightful property of the groom. In this way, Mr. Brown would appear to bare two wives, and Mr. Wells none. It is to be hoped that this not?? will lead the good Record to make a statement in which justice will; be done to both parties named herein Death. Died near Columbia, S. C., Oct. 8, 1890, William Joseph, infant soo of J. Edwin and M. C. Rembert, aged 3 months and 21 days. Religious. There will be service at the Church of the [.Holy Comforter on Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, it being All Saints day, whereon all the faithful departed ara commemorated by the living, and their good examples held op for emu lat JO ?J and imitation. ! The Rev. John Kershaw will conduct divine service in the same Church on Sunday mora? ine nod evening, at ll o'clock, A. M., and 7.30 P- M. Owing to the early celebration in the Church of the Holy Comforter next Saturday morning/there will be no service Friday evening. . Marriage Bans. V At tbe Baptist Church on Wednesday 'evening nen, at half past 8 ?'clock, the marriage of Miss Emma, daughter of Col. and Mrs. T. V. Walsh, to Mr. Ernest H. Rhame of this city will be solemnised. Their wedding will bea quiet one and there will be no cards. .imam ? < ll ? Orange Blossoms. All those who have "an eye for the beauti? ful" would be enchanted with a glimpse of an orange tree at Mr. A. A. Solomons. It stands a central figure ia their charming conservatory ladea with the fragrant and beautiful blos? soms, that never fail to bring to miud the tender associations of that most interesting and happy occasion in social hfe. Weasel Killed. Near the first of this month, Mr. J. D. McElveen, shot a weasel near bis borne in Privateer Township. --^?-?-?-?-* - The Cotilion. The weather last Wednesday was certainly very discouraging to dancers. One would have imagined that a Straightout primary was going on, the rain kept pattering and pouring so incessantly, nevertheless there was assembled at the S L. I. Armory, a number of our society people, who enjoyed the even? ing immensely. Unfortunately the weather was such during the day, that postponement was imperative; bot after Ute arrival of guests from ^Columbia, Darling;on, Manning, and other surrounding cities, it . was contin? ued and resulted in the most delightful affair of the season. The 4th Regt. Band Orchestra rendered its ninnie in a .very acceptable man? ner, and other details were equally successful. The Cotilion propose having their next dance shortly after^Christmas. We regret lack of space necessitates omitting the' names of those who were present and a description of the ladies' costumes, which were elegant. Before the Ear of Justice. The State ys. July Shaw-Defendant was arrested upon oath of Mr. Ben j. J. Barnett of Sumter for deposing of crop upon which Mr. Bnrnett had a lieu for rent. The evidence made a strong case against him and he was committed to jail in default ot bail. Mr. T. B. Fraser, Jr. represented defendant. . The State *a. Isbatu Fisher-Defendant indicted for breach of.Trust, iu that he fraudulently appropriated to his own use, a certain ox, the proper* goods and chattels uf one Sam'1 Dicks, (colored) the prosecutor. The animal was described in the evidence ol two of witnesses for the State to be *'a sorter dull red, brindled, bluish striped and black ox.'* After examination of witnesses case dismissed lor want of evidence o> a proba? bility of gcilt of prisoner John T. Greeu, E?q., appeared tor the State. H. Frank Wil? son, Esq., represented the prisoner. The Fasal Kerosene Can. About half past 6 o'clock last Sunday afternoon a number of people living oe Green Street in the vicinity of ibe C. S. * N. R. R. depot were alarmed by a loud explosion, ?ir. W. H. Commander was among tb-3 a umber who beard the explosion and hurrying to the house of a colored woman named Anderson, from whence the sound proceeded found a little boy and girl, between S ve and six years old covered with flames. The former was rolling over and over on the floor, literally like a ball of .fire. Mr. Commander quickly cut the clothes from the girl and extinguished the flames, not however until she had been badly burnt on tbe lower part. of her body and limbs. The boy was burnt beyond recovery and died tbe next morning at 8 o'clock The remnant of a kerosene oil can with the top and bottom blown to pieces on tbe hearth explaioed the cause of thia horrible accident. It is supposed that the children wera endeavoring to kindle the fire by pour? ing oil on the coals and the flames flickering up the funnel of the can caused tbs explosion that was strong enough to send the oil of which there was little less than a quart in the can-over one side of tba wall and the bed. The woman who is a sister of the little boy Pani and aunt, of the girl bad jost returned from a forerai and bad left the children to go to a neighboring house for some * ry wood. Th* ittle girl Emma bas since died. A coroner's jory being empanel led found a verdict in accordance with tbe above factai New Delivery Wagons. The gay and festive appearance of the streets of Sumter have been materially added to by three new delivery wagons. The one belonging to Messrs. Ryttenberg k Sons is quite the handsomest affair of its kind we remember to have seen on wheels. It was manufactured by the Chillicotbe Com? pany of Chillicotbe, Ohio. Mr. C. F. A. Bultman bas a new dairy wagon throughout by Mr. R. W. Bradham of Sumter It is neatly painted, done in tempting tints of creamy color. The Ice factory also sports a fine turnout, new wagon, new harness, a well matched pair of horses and a good driver. This wagon was alao built "from the ground up" by R. W. Bradham. The Snmter Boulia g Factory. Being in the vicinity a few evenings ago, we called tn at the Sumter Ice aud Bottling factory and the genial manager, Mr. D. Rosen dorf, showed os . through. He explained explicitly how ginger ale, etc., etc., was manufactured and the gas generated. Everything works by machinery even to the sponging out and rinsing of tbe bottles, of which they ose a large number. When filled, they are put. in the ice house which ts brought down to a freezing temp?rature through the agency of two-inch p.pes, that communicate witb the compartment in which the ice is made. A Worthy Enterprise. The enterprising real estate firm of Bowman k Ingram proposes within a short time to begin the publication of a pap?r devoted exclusively to the development of the city and countyofSumter. They have furnished the following information in regird to it : The I paper will be called The Sumter Trade Jour? nal and as its name denotes, will deal solely with the business and trade of this city aud the surrounding country. The sworn circula? tion is to be not less than 2000 copies a month. No subscription will be charged, but the journal will depeud for its support on the advertisements that will crowd its columns, and ;he incidental benefits which will accrue to the real estate business of its wide-awake proprietors through the prominence thus given it. The size of the paper will be 8 columns. 12x8 inches, folded in pamphlet form. The circulation in this county will be !,000, and the other 1,000 copies will be distributed throughout the world. An enterprise of this kind deserves and "we ' do not doubt ?'ill receive the hearty co-op? eration of our.business people, cad property holders more especial ly when it i? considered . fhat nothing wi?? tm asked without mi < <??;.v,t- j lent feeing given. Coo tracts for ad vert ire men ts ore bein? now taken c.:.ii The rirst I The Sante? Baptist Association. The Suntee Association met with the Baptist Church at Summerton on Thursday t?? 23d. The meeting was well attended and just as we!! entertained. All the preachers in charge of Churches in Jhe Association were present, with two exceptions. Every Church WHS represented in some way, by letter or by delegate, and the meeting was quite full of enthusiasm and perfectly harmonious through? out. Every evening at 8 o'clock, a preaching service was held, and almost the whole young "city" turned out in a body to attend. On Sunday, five services were held, two Churches being opened at the same time, in order to give sitting room to the large crowds who were seeking the opportunity of bearing the Gospel preached. On Friday nipht, Rev S. M. Richardson delivered a most entertaining lecture on Africa, having special reference to that country asa mission field. lu addi ton to ibe salaries paid to the pas? tors and in addition, too, to something over $1,500 paid out daring the year to general benevolence, the Churcues sent up over $600 io cash to the Association for missionary and educational purposes. This showing is probably the best ever made since the organ? ization of the body in 1877. On Sunday, after the morning service, all present were invited to a repast which was spread in profusion in the High School build? ing. The building soon became a popular resort, but after doing our best to demolish the "spread," we had to give up, and cry "enough." Every man of us is willing to go back to Summe-ton on the shortest possible notice. Tbe meeting next year will be held with the Baptist Church at Bishopville. DELEGATE. A Traveling Man's Figures. A well koo wo traveling man who is a sup? porter of Judge Haskell bas made au estimate of the result of the corni ns; State election. He gives Judge Basket} and his ticket 10,OM, and arrives at his estimate as follows: Of the 110,000 negro votes in the State he takes off 10,000 who. will vole for Tillman, 25,000 that are not registered and 25,000 that won't vote, leaving 53,000 Republican votes for Haskel!. Then he gives Haskell 20,000 of the Democratic vote of the State, making a total of 70,000^. Of the 80,000 white voters he puts 10,000 as unregistered and 20,000 for Haskell, leaving Tillman a w.bite vote of 50, 000. Add ng 10,000 negro votes to this gives Tillman 60,000 -Greenville News. Fine Cotton. PISGAH, S. C., Oct. 27, 1890. Mr. Editor: In company with Mr. E. E. Reinsert, I walked through a piece of bis fine cotton recently. It stands four by five feet, and I assure jon it is a perfect "wilderness of cotton." Yon can't walk through it with? out difficulty. It will make at tbe lowest three bales ?f 5?0 lbs. to the acre. The land it is planted on would not make more than a bale to three acres three vears ago. This shows what our lands can he brought up to bf heavy manuring and fine culture. 1 did not hear Mr. R. say, but presume he is making a fine per ceat. on the mai-ure used. He ii propagating a variety of ''cluster cot? ton" which Oida fair to be verv fina. J E. DUPRB. HIS P2EM?UM WAS Uli PAID. But the Mutual Life, of New York, Paid the Widow the Amount of the. Policy. An emphatic illustration of the benefits of life insurance io general, and of tbe decidedly superior advantages of the Mutual Life In? surance Company of New York as a medium for securing the same, will be found in the letter pn-smted below, recently received by General Ageut Edward L. Gernand, of Co? lumbia, from the widow of the late John P. Reeder ot ?eneca : SENECA, S. C , Oct. 1, 1890. Edward L. Geruaud, General Agent for South Carolina, of the Mutual Life Insu? rance Co. of New York: DRAB SIB : I have today received check for $1,961.04, in payment of the death claim of Mr. John P. Reeder, under policy No 391,785 in the Mutual Life Insurance Company ot New York, and in making the proper ac? knowledgment of the receipt of the same I wish to avail myself of the opportunity of al? so testifying, in behalf of the family of the deceased, and for myself personally, io the high appreciation in which we shall ever bold the promptness, fairness, and we might say liberality which has characterized the compa? ny io its action in this case. It certainly has convinced us, as well as all those io this vicinity conversant with tb facts, that the Mutual Life I usuran ce Compre ny carries out the principles of justice aod equity to the utmost in ito dewings with its pohcy-boi?ers- . * Thefac'.s ia the case are as' follows: The quarterly -premium of Mr. Reeder's policy was due August 10th, 1890. On August 9th, at ahout 10 p. m., while OD his way home in bis cart, Mr. Reeder was thrown therefrom, drag? ged son.e distance, and was found in an un? conscious condition Sn oday morning (thelOtb) at about 8 a. m. Io the read near by was found the card notifying him that his pre? mium was due, sent from your office some time before. Mr. Reeder remained unconscious until his death, which occurred at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, the 10th, and the date on which the premium was due and unpaid. These facts show the unquestioning spirit io which the Mutual Life rote ts its obliga? tions. Very truly yours, H. J. REEDER, Administratrix. mm ??????? A Scientific Wonder. Scieoce supplies us with wonders unac? counted. Mite. Janotba once played in a presto by Mendelssohn, rendering 5,595 ootes in four minute?. It is estimated that each note involved three distinct movements seventy-two per second. There were four distinct qualities for each movement ; so it is fair to say that there were not less than two hundred transmissions to and (rom the brain outward and inward every second. Science in another field has furnished cause for wonder. Medical research has, bj bringing to? gether from the antipodes and blending with local herbs, given to the world a medicine that, while not a panacea for "all ills that flesh is heir to," is potent in arresting and eradicating those most general. Dr. VT est morelands'8 Calisaya Tonic has been found the peer of all preparations in coping with malarial troubles. For general debility, for enervation and chronic loss of appetite, head? ache and dyspepsia, no medicine is its equal. It can be had from all druggists, aud wholesale from Dr. A. J. China.
