Death
Miss Maria Haynsworth, sister of Maj. W.
F B. Hainsworth, died at twelve o'clock
last night after a brief illness, in about the
54th year of her age. She has had for the
pnst few days a very clearly d* fined case of
the Grippe accompanied by considerable fever.
Miss Haynsworth is an old resident of Sum?
ter, and beloved by all who knew her. She
was one of a large family, well known in
Sumter County. The surviving members are
Maj. W. P. B. Haynsworth; Capt. Henry
Hay nsworth, (now on a visit to Sumter)
Mrs Ly les, and Mrs. McMahon of Fairfield.
Rev. A. M. Sale died at bis home on West
Calhoun S?reet yesterday morning, from
pneumonia. He had only two weeks ?go
suffered from a severe attack of Grippe, but
from this he rallied, and his family and
friends hoped he would soon regain his
health and strength, but in some way be con?
tracted a Cv>ld, which brought on pneumonia.
Rev. A. M. Sale was born in Abbeville, S. C.,
and was 37 years old at the time of his death,
w?s ordained to the ministry of the Presby?
terian Church twelve years ago. He mar?
ried four years afterwards, the youngest
daeghur of Mr. Anderson of Camden, S. C.,
and had just moved his family to this city io
order to take charge of the Summerton,
Hebron and Tirzah Churches. Arrange?
ments had jost been made at the late meeting
of Presbytery at Camden for his installation
at Summerton on the third Sunday in May,
pros and at Hebron on the fourth Sunday of
the same month. He leaves a widow and
three children, the eldest a boy and two lit?
tle giris. His ministerial won has been per?
formed iu three different Siates, Virginia,
Tennessee and South Carolina. He was suc?
cessful wherever he went. His untimely
death entails a heavy loss on the church
which he served, and irreparable loss on his
young and helpless family. The sympathies
of this entire community are deeply stirred by
this sad event. Mr. Sale's remains were
taken to Newberry to-day for interment.
Mr. Fred. A. Sale, of Columbia, senior
partner of the Real Estate firm of Sale ? Sim?
mons, isa brother of the deceased. Mr. Sale
held a policy in the Aetna Life Insurance Co.
for $3,000
Mr. T. F. Mason, formerly of Foresten,
and employed by the C. S. & N. R. R. here.
died at his residence on Harvin street about
2 o'clock last Sn oday morning. There seemed
to be some affection of the brain, and his case
being rather an obscure one, several of the.
physicians-Drs. Mood, Hugbson, Bossard
and China held an autopsy and found that a
tumor, considerably over an inch in length,
had formed on the brain, around which had
gathered ? cheesy looking substance of
tubercular character. The remains were
taken to Fores?oo Sunday afternoon for
burial. Mr. Mason leaves a wife and one
child.
Mr. Tho3. D. Durant, Jr , son of Mr. T.
D. Durant, of Lynchburg, died at Wotford
College, last Saturday io the 20th year of his
age. He bad a week or two before an attack
of measles, and it is thought exposed himself
too soon, and brought on a relapse. Mr.
Durant's death was a great shock to bis
friends and family. He was a young man of
good mind and heart, aod was held in uni?
versal respect and esteem by all who knew
him. His remains will be interred in the
family burying ground at St. Lukes Church,
Lynchburg. _
One That Will be Missed.
Old Mose Harrison is dead. That face and
figure which has been a landmark in Sumter
for about twenty-five years, will be seen no
more. Mose was a well known and respecta?
ble colored man, who came to Sumter just
after the war from Virginia ; he has been
complaining for some time of indifferent
health and fell dead on Council Stieet, ne?r
his boose about 7 o'clock, Friday evening,
from apoplexy. Ever since we can remember
Mose has been Janitor of the City Hall and
Episcopal Church, and street lamp-lighter for
many years He was a man of all work when
occasion required and was called npoo by
outsiders whenever lhere was any extra errand
to ron or piece of work to be performed in
addition to this Mose was almost always t>
be counted on as an attendant at all public
dances and entertainments. He was a con?
sistent democrat and was liked and respected
by all. He was 60 years of age aod was insured
in the order of Wise Men.
Sumter's Centennial Arch.
If the Game Cock Arch is not the "glass
oflfashion and the mould of foi m-the ob?
served of all observers" at the Columbia Cen?
tennial, it will not be Columbia's fault, for it
bas been assigned one of the most central and
conspicuous places in the picture-to wit : the
intersection of Main and Washington Street?,
commonly known as the City Hall corner.
Sumter's interests in ihe matter are in charge
of a very competent committee, Messr3 Alta?
mont Moses, W. H. Ingram and Abe Rytten
berg. They visited Columbia last week and
arranged all the preliminaries. The office of
Col. Geo. K. Wright has been offered them
for the Sumter headquarters during the Csu
tennial. We hope the people of the County
j will conti ibute generously and make Sumter's
! bow symbolical of peace, promise and plenty.

j Stories of the Sandwich Islands.
Prof. J N. Ingram delivered two interest?
ing and instructive lectures last Friday at the
Sumter Institute and the Graded Schools.
He says while engaged in work on a daily
paper in San Francisco, the received a call
from the Frank Leslie Company to go to' the
Sandwich Islands and write up the country
and a description of the people, customs, etc.
He spent six months there and bis lecture was
the result of his observations.
His style ii; somewhat unusual and interest?
ing, his sentences short and pithy, and his lec?
tures are said to contain more correct infor?
mation than is generally found in the histo?
ries and geog rap by s on the subject.
Caught Stealing.
On Saturday evening, as Sheriff Carson was
wending his way homeward, be was attracted
by a noise and bustle on the opposite side of
the street, in front of Mr. Kahn's grocery
store. On approaching the scene be found a
very animated discussion in progress among
a Frenchman and three excited negroes, con?
cerning a ham that had been surreptnonsly
removed from a wagon in. front of the store.
As the sheriff came np one of the men moved
off and was immediately pointed out as the
culprit. In arresting him,.he was caught in
the act of passing a brand new pistol to one
of the bystanders. A bunch of keys, which
resembled those of a warehouse and office,
three or four new pocket knives, and a half
dozen packages of cigarettes were found on
bis person. He was brought before Trial Jus?
tice Wells' pleaded goilty to the barn act, and
was committed to jail in default of $25 fine.
Walter Anderson is the name of the prisoner,
and he says he is from Columbia, S. C.
Job lot Parasols and Ladies' Umbrellas at
Ducker & Bal?mao.
Tennis.
The match game of tennis between the
Sumter Institute Club and the Sumter Lawn
Tennis Club, was played Monday afternoon
on the grounds of the latter club. A large
number of spectators assembled to watch the
progress of this interesting contest for the
championship. The ladies in their cool cos?
tumes and pretty uniforms made a striking
picture on the smooth and shady lawn. The
regulations of the game require three sets to
be played each afternoon, for three consecu?
tive afternoons. So far, the score stand? two
sets to one in favor of the Sumter Instituie.
On Monday afternoon the contest was between
Misses Dick-and McCutcben for the Institute,
and Miss Mamie Edmunds and Mr. Jno. B.
Duffie, for the Sumter Lawn Tennis Club.
Miss Susie Haile and Rev. J. S. Hartzell who
umpired, rendered fair and impartial deci?
sions. Tbe game was hotly coutested and
some excellent playing was done on both
sides. Those whose sympathies were with
the Institute expressed their enthusiasm by
beating tin cans, and waving their flag, which
was quite a handsome one.
Your Name in Stencil.
Prof. Powell has been doing a lively busi?
ness in his art of stenciling. He works on
the street on Saturdays, and canvasses other
days and doe3 the work at the Mansion
House. He has a very superior key-ring oa
which he puts name and address ; also key
check, and umbrella plate with name. Fe
puts different err^?ems on his work : Masonic,
I. O O. F., Good Templars. K. of P. His
Masonic Trestieboard ard K. of P. Treslle
board has to be explained to be appreciated.
He comes among us well endorsed ; is a first
class workman, bas a pleasant word for all,
and is ever ready to please. He warrants his j
work. "
Religious.
The religious meetings at the Baptist
Church, mentioned in our last issue, are
attracting much interest, and are well attend?
ed. Rev. Mr. Hundley, of Edgefield, who
bas preached some fine gospel sermons, left
this morning to attend the meeting of the
Committee iu the Baptist Orphanage matter, at
Greenwood.
New Houses.
Messrs. Holman & LeMaster have raised the
frame ot the residence of Mr. W. F. Shaw on
Washington Street. This will he or.e of the
prettiest and most convenient houses in the
city. It will contain five rooms beside the
hall, pantry, storeroom and kitchen. Capt.
R.A. Brand and Mr. J McFadden Spann
will shortly build residences, on their lots
adjoining either side of Mr. Shaw's.
Mr. J. B. Carr has been given the contract
to build the new residence of Messrs.
Schwartz Bros., on the site of their former
house, on Washington Street. We have
taken a peep at the plans, and it will be one
of the handsomest and most convenient
houses in the city. The rooms six in number
besides, pantry kitchen, etc , are unusually
large and airy. Anice, wide piazza will ex?
tend around the front of the bouse to the
projecting bay of the dining room to which
thete will be an entrance from the piazza.
The windows will have two light double
strength glasses. Some of the rooms will be
17x20 feet. The specifications call for a first
class job, costing about $4,000.
Mr. E. W. A. Bultraao at an early day will
commence the construction of his residence
on the fine lot he purchased jast month from
the Presbyterian Church. His house will
be on that portion of the lot which adjoins the
parsonage.
Mr. Frank O'Donnel says he will build a
bouse "some day" on his Liberty Street lot op?
posite Saint Joseph's Academy.
Mr. C T. Mason, Jr., broke ground
yesterday for his handsome house on Main
street. Judging from the depth of the exca?
vation, be will have solid foundations.
Mr. E J. Dunne is apparently doing his
best on Mr. Laughery's two bouses near the
depot. The diagonal storm sheeting has a
very neat and thorough appearance and will
doubtless make the frames as secure, as the
houses comfortable.

Those Brick Stores.
Mr. Tg?ac Schwarte, acting for Mrs.
Schwartz and her sister, Miss Lena Solomons,
bas commenced work on the two brick stores
on their property at the corner of Main and
Republican streets. The old half rotten oak
trees in front of the lot have been cut away,
and the old one story frame buildings have
been hauled off-displaying to view one of
the finest corner lots in the city of Sumter.
The writer has been attracted by a few of the
old citizens of Sumter, who would occasion?
ally reconnoitre the place with a look on their
faces as if they were trying to take it all in.
Some would stand, perhaps thinking of the
time long gone by wheo the acorns were
planted from which the great oaks grew.
Their dim spirit waking upon the verge of
evening to recall the old forms and faces that
went trooping past, the lights and shadows
scenes of the days that are no more.
The stores will be fine ones with iron fronts
and plate glass windows on Main Street.
They will front fifty-five feet running back
ninety feet in length. There will be a hall
and three large rooms in the upper stories.
The store on the corner has been leased to
Mr. E. E. Rerabert for five years the
other to another firm for three years.
Both stores will be used for general merchan?
dise Mr. J. B. Carr has the contract to com?
plete them by next August at a cost of about
$6,500. He commenced excavating for the
walls last Monday evening.
?'A MISTAKE."
How The Advance Fell Into Error Attempt?
ing to Correct the W. ? S.
The account of the appointment of Col.
Averill, General Manager, of the C. S. & N,
R. R. published in the News and Courier and
in the Watchman of last week, was not a
mistake r.3 our E. C. the Sumter Advance
gratuitously asserts it was. We obtained our
information from Mr. Martin him-elf, who
showed us the letter notifying him of the
appointment of Mr. Averill. Our information
in the premises was further confirmed by C.
S. Nettles, E.-q. General Counsel, and A.
Ames Howlet a Director of the Company.
If our rostected contemporary has soy higher
authority-than we have furnished, for con?
tradicting the correctness of our statement,
we would be enchanted to have it produced,
without simply alleging error in "A-ioance."

We have had so much rain, that we could
not compose our mind, and can't do much at
it yet, never could. But this has been the
Spring for long-faced farmers, and we could
not well help it either, seeing our rations be?
ing consumed, and the land so wet that we
could not plough, and it still getting wetter,
[t is enough, to make our faces long, for
whether we are honest or not, we have to try
ind pay our debts, to keep our credit good.
Notwithstanding the gloom that has pre
railed with us. Agents have not forgotten
us. We have bad them of all kinds. Well,
aot all kinds for I expect that we will
Dave some more after awhile. But I do
wish that they would go somewhere
;lse, unless they were of the right kind.
We have been troubled more by life tn
>urance agents than any other, for they would
eave our house after dinner and be back to
?upper. Oue would be going down the road
md the other up at the same time. It seemed
:hat they meant business, if they didn't do
ouch.
We are in hopes of making good crops this
rear, but I think it impossible, from the fact
:hat very few fat mers have been able to pre
>are their land as it should have been. The
and bas been so water-sobbed that when it
iries it will be as hard almost as brick, and
.vhen it is broken it will be in clods.

The Boston Musical Herald is one of the few

writers of experience, which maintains a cou

3ditori?lIy the Herald deals honestly and out?
spokenly with topics of the day, devoting
ipace to subjects which attract the investiga

Hesitation.
Perhaps it may be true that the man
who hesitates is lost, but we don't be?
lieve it. Don't be in too much of a
hurry unless you want to be sorry for it.
Be sure you are right and then go ahead,
for it is the hasty man who makes the
most mistakes. There are times, how?
ever, when it is easy enough to make
up your mind. Some things require a
good deal of study ; others can be seen
at a glance. There is no excuse what?
