pal, esme over oa Friday nod spent the

duce tbe same system of instruction io Dar
iiagtoa. In the evening they adjourned
to the J er tey Boase where they were enter?
tained by the Sautter teachers, with au oyster
supper.
It was a pleasant relaxation from their
daily labors aod was enjoyed by all.
Lunatics.
The attention of the Probate Judge, Tris!
J a? tice and physicians bas been very much
occupied with the examination of lunatics in
tba mst three weeks. Several of these eases
have been the result of the protracted
colored religions meeting oo Mr. Tourney's
Bell's Mill place. The following have been
.tnt to tbe Asylum in Columbia: Jane Nix?
on, Susan Pearson and John Moore.
The worst ease of insanity we have seen
is that of John Moore, a colored mao living
ont a little East of the city, near the fair
grounds. He was committed to jail until the
doctors could examine bim. Passers-by, and
those liviog io the viet ai ty, say that be made
night hiaeuni with bis cries, and disturbed
thurn greatly. _
Too Mach Money in the Safe,
Os Saturday last the door of the specie
vault, ia the safe of the Simonds National
Bank, refused to open, despite the efforts of
ail tba Bank officers, and it became necessary
to send at ones to Cburlettoo for an expert.
Mr. Richardson, of the firm of Richardson k
Son, came sp aod worked at it all day Sun?
day, loosening tba binges of the doors, and
resorting to every means known to bis pro?
fession, bet without success. Tba combina?
tion lock controls a perfect nest of bolts, sud
it became evident that there was something
wrong with one of them bolts, which inter?
fered with tba movement of all the others.
Mr. Richardson advised that the tafe be
taken ont into the street and turned down on its
back. If this availed notbiug, he said the
door would have to he tara open'. Tbe ex?
periment was tried and proved successful.
It was ascertained that a canvass bag foll
of ?peck that had been packed in the safe, fell
forward an4 * portion of the hag got caught
behind ene of the bolte and was tbe soie cause '
of ail the trouble. j
Wedding Bells in Straiter.
Tbe Presbyterian Coomb, in the twilight
of last Wednesday evening, was the scene of
a mott interesting sod imprest i re ceremony
the doable wedding of Miss Elma Yeadon
daughter of Mr. William Yeadon to Mr. Peter
Pitts? of thia coun ty, and Miss Katie MrKin
non, daughter of Capt. McK?nnon also of this
county to Mr. A. McNair of Darlington
County.
Tbe Chancel of the church was tastefully
decorated with evergreens md flowers, the work
of loving bands, and long before the hour ap?
pointed, the church was crowded with eager
and expectant friends. Precisely at 5.30
.'clock the Rev. N. W. Edmunds, accom?
panied by Rev. A. M. Sale, walked op the
aisle and took their places in front of tbe
pulpit. A littie later the soft tones of the or?
gan Sited the church with tbe breathing in
! spiration of Mendelssohn, under tbe touch
of Mrs. Ruth McLanrio, and held the
rapt attention of the auditors, only to be di?
verted by the slowly advancing ushers ?cd
attendants, who preceded tbe bridal couples.
No incident occurred to mar the happy ar?
rangements.
The bridal parties passing op the several
aisles arrived safely opposite tbe letters P. Y.
?and M. M. above the flowers, beautifully
worked in evergreens on a band of white
ribbon which marked respectively their
' places io the picture. Dr. Edmunds spoke
the words of tbe solem service that made them
one, and Mr. Sale offered up a fervent prayer.
Al its conclusion the couples and their a tteo
dants passed each other in front of the pulpit
and retired through the opposite entrance to
the one they bad entered and were driven to
the depot.
Messrs. W. F. Shaw aod W. A. Mcilwaine,
friends vf Mr. Pitts, and Messrs. Love and
Telo, friends of Mr. McNair, acted as ashers.
A brother and sister of each bride, acted as
bridesmaids and groomsmen.
The bridal parties left the same evening tor
Charleston, where Mr. and Mrs. Pitts lingered
for the festivities and fan of Gala Week. Mr.
and Mrs. McNair went on to Washington.
They intend making Wilmington, N. G., their
home.
Their wedding was an exceedingly well ar?
ranged one, and will long leave an afterglow
of pleasant associations in the memory of
their friends.

Excuse the Liberty.
A short time ago a thick coating of clay
was laid on Liberty Street. The Railroad
Company hauled the clay. The street was
leveled and rounded up, but the dirt could
not have been packed very firmly, as several
sanken aod uneven places appeared and the
rats became very deep and muddy. Driving
dowo the street last week .we observed in one
place where an attemp. had beeo made to
cover the day with fin ? sand. We do not
wish to be considered meddlesome or fault?
finding, bat suggest to the Council-a? they
bave given ns a splendid foundation for the
street i~ tbe clay-they ought to be careful
not to make matters worse by putting this
very fine sand on it. We think covering it
with sand is a good idea, but it ought to be
clean, sharp sand, mixed only with gravel.
Our inform?tico is. that such can be easily
obtained. The C. S. * N. Railroad offer
to deliver it for the same price as it
would cost the city to baal it. We hope they
will consider tbe matter and if practicable as?
cent the offer.
Sumter's Machine Shop.
Seater now has, wbat it bas long been
wanting badi), a machine shop. It is a great
saving in time and money, not only to citi?
zens of Sumter, but to farmers-those living
in tho vicinity ano throughout the County,
espc ally those who ruo gins, saw mills, and
who ose machinery. .Heretofore if anything
went wrong, or got broken, one bad togo
to Columbia to have it fixvd, and could not
be present to give persooal supervision of the
work or to inspect it when ft nibbed, to say
nothing of the time spent in traveling and
waiting, and expenses incident to the same.
Mr. Edgar Skinner has supplied the long
felt want. In bis machine shop, near tbe C.
S. A N. R. R. depot, can be found the best
workmen, une tools aod all modero applian?
ces, aod Mr. Skinner guarantees the best
work. One prominent farmer said his shop
bad already been worth to him over fifty
dollars.

Literary Notes.
An article of much practical value on
"TbeCareof the Eyesin Youth," by tbe well
knewn oculist, Dr. George S. Norton, will
appear in the Supplement to Harper's Young
People for November 4tb.
Freedom Triumphant is the title of the
fourth and final volume of Charles Carleton
Coffin's history of the civil war for young
readers. It will be published in November by
Harper k Brothers.
Harper's Youog People will eater upon its
twelfth vol?me with the number to be publish?
ed November 4tb. Among the attractions
an cou need for the new volume are serial
stories by Sophie Swett, Howard Pyle, and
others; "Travel Notes'* by Sophie B Herrick;
a series of articles on out principiil colleges
written by recent gradoates ; and a tempting
variety of short stones and practical articles.
One of the most appropriate of holiday
books is tbe volume entitled Christmas in j t
Song, Sketch, and Story, by J. P. McCasky. ? s
just published by Harper & Brothers Tbe | a
volume comprises a collection of the most fa- I a
mous soogs, hymns, and stories relating to \ c
the Christmas season, and is sumptuously
illustrated from paintings by the old masters ;
sad from drawings br modern artists. i
Bishopv?le Post Office Matter.
Oar friends at Bishopv?le with persistent
pluck and perseverance still send to Wisacky
for their mail, a point about 6 miles dis?
tant. They have been greatly imposed upon
by the U. S. Government in the matter of
post office facilities as will be readily seen
from the following facts.
One Isaac R. Miller, now a negro preacher
at Siateburg, bad been appointed postmaster
in the place of Mr. H. 6. Scarborough.
Miller came to Mr. J. L. Parrott to make
some arrangement about renting a building
from bim, to use for the postoffice. Mr. Par?
rott consented on condition, Miller would
sign an agreement to conduct himself, and
manage the affiairs of the office, properly.
This he agreed to, and said if the people
didn't want bim be would not force himself
upon them. He gave some sott of bond and
assumed charge of the office. Shortly after
this, be went to Stateburg to preach, leaving
n very trifling and impertinent negro,
LeGraod Thomas, tn bis place. He was not
only incompetent, but exceedingly impudent
and disobliging. Two or three citizens went
to get their mail one morning and just as they
got to the pest office Thomas locked the door
and walked out and when asked for the mail
remarked that they would have to wait until
be got his breakfast. The place where he
got it was about a mile off and these gentle?
men bad to wait until his return. This was
a little more than tbey cared to put ug with,
and a meeting of the citizens of the town was
held to consider the matter. A resolution
was passed which provided that all Bishop
ville mail should be sent from and receired at
Wisacky, until the Government should give
them a decent mau for the office. Miller and
Thomas had been reported for carrying con?
cealed weapons, and when notified that they
would be fined for it Miller said, come to the
office and I will show yen my authority.
When the books of the office were examined
by inspector Beard scarcely anything could
be learned, they were in such confusion, and
the bond given was discovered to be what is
commonly known as a ''straw bond." This
is hut a simple statement of the facts which
we intended to publish in our issue before the
last, but it was crowded ont by other matters.
We are informed that there is a probability
of Mr. W. L. Dennis being appointed to fill
the vacancy. If be succeeds in getting the
appointment the office will atones be re-estab?
lished at Bishopv?le.

BULTMANN & BRO.,
PROPRIETORS OF
The Sumter Shoe Store,
Have bought this space for a time, to inform
the public that they are prepared to protect
their lower extremities from the rain and
frost of the coining season.
The older citizens of Sumter know this
OLD FIRM
so well that comments to them are not neces?
sary, bat the population of our city has in?
creased so rapidly, there are a great many here now, who have not made their
acquaintance and we do not think we would be acting the part of the Good
Samaritan, did we not advise them to go to BULTMANN & BRO., when in need of
SHOES,
for they are better prepared to snit the:n in that line than any other House ia the
city, as they are Shoemakers of 40 years experience and make the shoe business
their sole study and occupation.
Their present stock was manufactured before the advance tn the Leather
market and will be sold at former zero figures. By this one item they will
Save you from 15 to 25 Per Cent.
on your shoe bill, and always give you solid Leather to walk on. In addition to
their regular line, they sell the renowned
WHITE MACHINE,
and carry a complete stock of Fine Trunks and Valises, &c.
