The tournament at neriot's Cross Roads, on Jan. Sth, inst-, was a grand success. Knight of "l*be Lost Cause,"Mr. Valley Hug gins, was the successful koight, and crowned Miss Ni Da Weldon, queen of the occasion. Knight "Would iM Could," Mt.. Jimmie Huggina, was next, and chose Miss Fleda Hudson first maid of honor. "Knight of the Unkm," Mr. Mikoo Hudson, was next, and chose Miss Mamie White second maid of honor. "Kb^htof ?l,*' Mr. Blending Durant, war next atd chose Miss Ida White third maid of honor, all tied, ooZy one ring behind the snceesaM knight, making it very' inter-' eating. The successful knight took, six rings, the others tied and bad to run over, the result was as above stated. 0? Who Attchdxd. New M&??L?uery for the Ice Fac tory. Sumier's1<? Factory has already been tried in die severe school of practice, and has not been found wanting. It has not only kept the town welt supplied with the cooling com modity, hat lias shipped a qaan ti ty of icebergs to ?nailestofl and other sister cities. Indeed so heavy has been the demand that arrange meots hare teen promptly taade for increas ing the supply, and four new six-ton pumps bave been ordered from -the Alanta Iren Works and sze sow being placed in position by Mr. Cook of Atlanta; All the ma chinery has. not jet arrived; bat will be here ?ext week. Every industry so far established in Sumter is on a solid basis and meeting with a full measure of success. There is room for many more busiaesti enterprises here, and this fact should have its full weight In encouraging them. The plants that hare -been located here are conducted in a strictly business capac ity. There tuts been aojoose management, no wild-eat watered stock soW, ,no large salaries paid to friends and relatives of capitalists who bave in vetted. On the-eoetrary business men base put their money into' these concerns and ha*e employed the best talent and ability\at command to posh them on to the accomplish ment of the most successful resul ts. Things That Sumter Needs. - A harness and saddlery establishment, where the psbhc. can get everything they want from an interfering ring to a pair of homes. Also an out and out Cfcror. store. There is a China store wow in the. city, but while it is one of the beet in tbe city?and altogether undispeosable, it is not the kind we refer to A fine system of water works, that will give an ample supply Sot. drinking purposes and a safe guarantee against fire, it will help tet preserve tbe reputation of tbe city in point of bearthfolness and the great number of new building* that have been erected? as well as the old?from destruction ; it will further' dimranfr the-' rates of insurance? in short its benefits will be incalculable. Our, enterprising and wide awake City Council are now at work upon a plan that will insure u5 good streets and crossings. They have realized the fact that they are not ail that they should he, sod have delayed potting them ;n good order, not'by reason of any tack of money, or disposition to do the work?-but hare hesitated on account of ex pediency?mat is to say ,Jthe best method of procedure. They are now in correspondence with several parties in reference to securing the granite blocks for crossings. Poultry and Pigeon Premiums. At the great Pet and Poultry snow in Charleston, last week Mr. W. B. Mims, of this city was awarded the following pre miums: For Black Minor?es?First prize on cocker el, aod second, third aad fourth on pallets. Wnite Legborns?First and second on cock erel ; first and third on pullets.' Brown Leghorns?Second, third and fifth on pullets. Several complimentary cards were aiso pre sented to him on many of his coops, by the Association. While in Charleston Mr. Mims purchased of Mr. B. A. Fox. of Hamilton, New Jersey, tbe handsome Brown Leghorn cockerel which won the first premium. Capt. John Reid of this city also received quite a number of premiums on pigeons and poultry. It gives us great pleasure to publish the above success of our fellow townsmen at an exhibition where there was a great deal of sharp competition, there being quite a number ot exhibits from all parts of tbe Union, more especially fron tbe Northern, Western and New-England States. It Is worthy of note and something, of wbicb Sumter shoald feel justly prood that there is not a fair, show, or other exhibition beld at anytime, in any part of tbe Sate, that Sumter?both ity and county?does not come in for a full share in the list of premiums. Mr. Mims has gone to much trouble and expense in securing tbe best fowls, and in preparing for the business. While others have kept 6ne fowls more or less, be may be called tbe pioneer of Sumter in the" fancy pool try line, as a business. His pees and. boasts have been arranged with care, and on approved plans, and he bas stadied the different points of poultry keeping with the-view to success. The fact of bis being awarded so many premiums by tbe judges?men of established reputation as poultry fanciers?shows that be has good biriff and that f bey were in good condition. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorfs. When She was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became? Miss, she clung to Castoria.

Dozier, Jr., died in 1874, She leaves surviving her, nine children, twenty-six' grand children and one great grand child/ Of modest and most retiring disposition, yet her kindliness and unvarying courtesy bad served to attract many friends, and these, with her numerous re latives, mourn the death of this aged and most excellent lady. Mr. Edward L. Murray, formerly of State burg, but more recently of Florence, died in that town on Wednesday last, and was buried in the Cemetery at the Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg, on Thursday. Mrs. Mary Preston Darby, relict of the late Dr. John S. Darby, died suddenly at her residence in Columoia on Sunday last.

Preston, and a first cousin of Senator Wade Hampton. George Bancroft the great American histo rian died on Saturday last at Washington, aged 91 years. Capt. Maxcy Murdered. Captain John Mazcy, of Bradford Springs, was waylaid and shot on the highway on Monday night. [ The town was much startled by the report on the streets yesterday morning that Mr. Maxcy bad been found the night before, about 11 o'clock, lying in bis yard, near a stump, in the thioes of death, bis wagon almost broken to pieces near by, aad his horse stand ing a short distance off. Be was quite un conscious and died about 5 o'clock the next morning. It was at first supposed, and so reported, that his horse had run away, broke the wagon, and thrown Maxcy violently^ to the ground, against the stump, thus causing the injuries from which he died, but it grad ually leaked out that foul play was smspected and groups ot eager and excited men were collected on the streets yesterday talking and asking questions. -About noon the report reached here that Mazcy had been shot while returning the nigbt before from Sonjler, only one mile and a half from his borne. Suspicion was directed to. two laborers on his place, with whom Mazcy bad some difficulty about violation of their contracts. Although it was quite late in the afternoon Coroner A. G. Warren, ac companied by two physicians, went at once to tbe scene. As threats of lynching bad been made, Sheriff Carson and bis deputy, followed shortly af erwards, and arrived at Maxcy'8 house a little before ten o'clock, whore tbe Coroner had summoned a jury and was holding the inquest, oeveral of the con servative men expressed themselves relieved at the arrival of the Sheriff, as feeling had reach ed such a pitch that it was not unlikely the parties arrested would be lynched before they reached Sumter. The facts connected with the killing so far developed are as follows : Mr. Mazcy left Mr. John Kingman's store, which is about five miles from his bouse, about 9 o'clock. Somewhere about eleven Mrs. Maxcy and her little son heard tbe noise of the wagon in the yard and on going out found Mr. Mazcy unconscious on the ground, breathing heavily. Be was brought in the house and died soon afterwards. It was sup posed at first that he' was killed by being thrown from the wagon, and not until day break the nezt morning, when they found blood in tbe wagon body and boles in his hat, did they know he bad been shot. Tbe greater part of tbe load, some number eight and some as large as turkey shot, entered tbe left side of his head, one large shot having entered bis temple and ranged through tbe brain ; bo h eyes- were shot out. Tbe murder was commit ted in a dark place in the road, where it is crossed by a stream. Tbe assassin was con cealed by what is commonly known as a "harricane"," On left side of tbe road. The impression left by bis knee on the soft soil was plainly visible as well as the imprint of the barrel of tbe gun where be had rested it on the top of the obstruction. The wad from the gun was also found in the road and the ; marks on a sapling where twigs bad been cut i by the scattering shot. The tracks leading from the lair of tbe as ! sassin corresponds with those of Sentry But ler, one of the men with whom Capt. Mazcy bad bad some trouble. He gave no account of himself except that he was at borne all night and only heard of the death tbe nezt morning. Be and Hampton Nelson, tbe other, have been arrested and lodged in jail to await the result of tbe inquest, which was continued nntit 2 o'clock in the morning, when it was adjourned to meet again on Tuesday next. Captain Maxcy wsb a nephew of General Maxcy Gregg and was about forty-five years of age. He was formerly a resident of Ricbland County, where he ha3 relatives; He has been living in Sumter County for about 12 years and was knows as a successful planter and valuable citizen. Capt. Maxcy married Miss Frost, of Ricbland, and she and his little son survive him. He was a member of the Sumter Lodge Knights of Bonor. Vick's Floral Guide for 1891.

Don't fail to see Man and Master at Acad emy of Music, Monday, Jan. 26. The Wilmington Star speaks as follows of the appearance of this Company in that city : The "Pe^rl of Savoy" was presented to a good bouse last night. This charming tale of.woman's love has many passages of vigor, which were given with force by Miss Helen Minkley as Marie. Certain natural graces of manner are essential to a correct interpreta tion of this character, one of the most love able with which we are acquainted. The sweet peasant girl of famed Savoy, as pare as the streams that leap from its crags, as beautiful as the landscape of her mountain house, that charms us with her inncccncb and truth, seldom finds a better or more capable representative. Miss Minkley bas the personal charms as well as the histrionic talent to make a most acceptable Marie, and that she did so, the cordial reception accorded her by ber auditors is evidence of. Besolution of Thanks. At tbe regular meeting of the S. L. I, held on Tuesday evening, Jan 21st, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered to be published : Whereas.

The older citizens of Sumter know this OLD FIEM so well that comments to them are not neces sary, but 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 suit them in that line than any other House in the city, as they are Shoemakers of 40 years experience aud make the shoe business their sole study and occupation. Their present stock was manufactured before the advance in 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. ou your shoe bill, and always give you solid Leather to walk on. In addition to their regular line, they sell the renowned WHITE SEWING MACHINE, and carry a complete stock of Fine Trunks and Valises, &C.
