Mayes, of Mayesville, stating that one of Mayesville's cotton bayers bought a lot of cotton in Sumter Jast week. He does not say who bought the cotton, or whether the mysterious bayer had it compress ed, "only tbis aod nothing more." We are always ready to accord to Mayes ville any credit she deserves.

Tbe open air concert by tbe Sumter Bra?s Band, advertised in a late issue of the W. and 8., for last Friday evening was largely at tended by the music-loving people of Sumter. Tbe Band, consisting of eighteen members, as sembled on Main Street, at its intersection with Liberty. Tbe electric light was lowered and the musicians read their notes as easily as ifin the light of day. Then came a burst of such music as the people of Sumter have not heard for maoy a long day, if ever. It was of a very high order, and we would be doing tbe Band a very grave injustice should we attempt to enter upon any description of it. They played through their elaborate pro gramme aod were generously encored by the people, among whom were many of our Ger man friends. In tbe minds of these last, the sweet strains of this magnificent music could not have failed to revive some forgotten or fast fading memory of their far-away father land. Too much cannot be said to tbe praise and credit of the young men who compose the Band. Tbey have arrived at this point of musical perfectioo, oot only from their talent, which is considerable, but by much perse verance and personal expense Tbey were fortunate in engaging the ser vices of Prof. S. Scoli, of Mifflinhurg, Pa., which tbey bave bad tbe benefit of for over a year. He has made a contract to give tbem bis assistance one year longer, and now that be expects to make Sumter his home we con sider ourselves safe in predicting that tbe Sumter Brass Band will be if indeed it is oot already tbe finest in the Stat ic the Wrong Flaco? While feeling "So awful jolly" along with his fellow citisene of Sumter tbe other evening when tbe Band began to play?the attention of tbe scribe of the W. k S. was attracted towardea mournful, forlorn looking figure, standing solitary aod alone, on tbe sidewalk, in the shadow of tbe store of Brown k Brown, vacantly gazing at the gay and glad group in tbe electric brightness before bim. He looked dazed and bewildered as if be wondered what it all meant ; as one would look who saw, oot a scene of life aod light?happiness and joy?bat dark visions of broken hopes and honors lost forever" still floating before bis heated imagination. That individual was one Ellery M. Brayton, and in his dejected mien the writer scarcely recognized the man who only ooe short week before, surrounded aod encouraged by several coal black negroes, was barangueing a motly crowd on Court House Square, felicita ting in tbe triomphe of the G. 0. P. aod pre dicting with great glee and gusto tbe certain downfall aod destruction of democracy in Sooth Carolina. We were just revolving in our mind tbe propriety of approaching Mr. Brayton and interviewing bim apon tbe political situation when he quickly turned away and left the scene "A sadder," and perhaps, a wiser mao." Wedding Bells Again. On last Wednesday evening, at tbe Baptist Chorch of this city, the marriage of Mr. Ernest H. Rhame to Miss Emma, daughter of Col. T. V. Walsh, was solemnized. Long before tbe hour appointed for the ceremony the Church was filled with a large aod brilliant assemblage of the friends of the young couple.
