A Cfaild of Fortune.
Maj. Haynswortb is again in luck ! The old
time professional appearance of the law office of

degree departed. The law table of this po pu?
ter and esteemed fellow-citizen, with the ink
staines and the legal dust and documents of
over a quarter of a century, bas been put
aside and in its place a beautiful walnut,
roUiug cylinder 'desk, from the indianapolis
factory, substituted. It bas been our pleasure
on -hree occasions to refer to testimonials,
evinced in a very handsome and happy way
to the character, and worth of Mr. Hayns- ,

many acts of kindness And service This

New Medical Society.
Tfcere were quite a number of physicians
from the county ia the city last Saturday.
Later in tho day they assembled *t the office
of the Bank of Sumter for the purpose of or?
ganizing a County Medical Association.
About eighieen physician? were present. A
temporary organization was effected by the
election of Dr. J. J. Bossard as ??airman,
and Dr. S. C. Baker as secretary of tb? meet?
ing. On motion a committee of three con?
sisting of Drs. John H. Furman, J. A. Mood
and Francis 2. Mayes w^e appoiated by the
chair to draft a constitution aad by-laws for
the government of the society, and ordered to
report at a subsequent meeting, the dute of
which was fixed for Friday, May S. As noth?
ing further cocld be accomplished till after the
adoption of a constitution, the meeting then
adjourned.
The meeting was a harmonious one and all
present <were thoroughly interested in the suc?
cess of the undertaking and-the benefits that
will unquestionably result from such an or?
ganization of the citv and county physicians.
The constitution and by-laws will be adopted
at the next ?eetiog and a permanent organi?
sation effected. A .reference to the con6titu
a of the Medical Association of a few
years ago will doubtless relieve the committee
of some trouble is drafting the new instru-"
Eient. it is*o be hoped that there will be
enough doctors *o fceep the new Association
from dying as was the fate of the former after
& few n?e?t?ng3.

arranged to play another game at Sumter,

Meeting of Hotel Stockholders.
A meeting of the stockholders in the ra-at
ter of the new Sumter hotel was called Tor 6
o'clock Monday afternoon, at City Hall.
At that hour many of the old stockholders
were present, and quite a number of other
citizens who are deeply interested in the suc?
cess of the movement. Mr. W. M. Graham
was requested to act as chairman, and Mr.
Abe Rettenberg, secretary. Hon. Altamont
Moses stated that the object of the meeting
was to build a hotel for Sumter, and they had
assembled to act upon certain propositions,
one of which, made by Mrs. McGuinnis, he
desired to submit.
Mrs McGuinnis off-rs her lot, at the North?
west intersection of Main ?nd Dueao Streets,
fronting 200 feet on Main Street and extend?
ing the same width and dis'ance along Dugan
Street in exchange for $20,000 of stock on
condition a $30,000 brick hotel is built
thereon. She further agrees to subscribe
$1,000 in money towards the erection of the
hotel, and will not o* j-ct to the company's
executing a mortgnge upon the property, in
the event the necessary amount of money
cannot be raised promptly.
The following proposition of Geo. E. W.
Moise was submitted : He will convey toa
corporation for the purpose of building a
hotel, P lot on Main Street, where the Jervey
House now stands, measuring ou Main Street
one hundred and forty feet, and two hundred
feet deep, covering the front between the store
now occupied by Mr. Craig and the one now
occupied by Miss Miller, and including the
buildings on that lot, for the sum of nine
thou??nds dollars. And if this offer is ac?
cepted he will take four thousand dollars of
stock in the hotel, and if desired he will re?
move the buildings from the said lot at bis
own cost, he taking the material in the said
buildings, to pay for the cost of removal.
Mr. Cohen Wilson, it will be remembered,
offered his lot on Liberty Street,
feet for" $7,500, only $1,500
of wb icu he was willing to take in stock;
the balance $6,000, he demanded cash for.
Mr. Wilson further embarrassed the matter by
insisting that no mortgage should be given
on the property for aoy amount, however,
small that the company might need.
Mr. Wilson's proposition was considered
out of the question, aud the meeting pro?
ceeded to discuss the propositions of Gen.
Moise and Mrs. McGuinnis.
After remarks by Messrs. Schwartz, O'Don?
nell, Rutenberg. Marica Moise, Altamont
Moses and R. D. Lee, a srytion was made by
Hon. Altamont Moses, and seconded by Mr.
Lee to accept Mrs. McGuianis' proposition
forthwith, and open the books of subscrip?
tion.
It was plainly demonstrated by Messrs. R.
D. Lee and Altamont Moses and others, that
the proposition of Mrs. McGuinnis, was the
best business offer yet presented to the stock?
holders. The rental of the stores and saloon
would alone pay the interest on the invest?
ment, irrespective of the rent from the hotel.
If the building were put on Mr. G?hen
Wilson's lot, being off from the business centre,
the single item of income would be the rental
from a single occupant, for the hotel.
With respect to the offer of General Moise,
the difficulty was that he only took $?,000 of
stock ; that the lot offered by him was not a
corner lot, having a frontage of only 148
feet, and being hemmed in, at the front on
either side, by brick stores.
Mrs. McGuinnis' lot, being a corner lot,
having a frontage on a central portion of
Main Street, of 200 feet at one hundred dol?
lars a front foot was worth more than
the Jervey House lot at sixty-five dol?
lars, a front foot, mo3t especially when
the greater part of this sixty-five dollars was
tc be paid in cash, and all of the one hun?
dred dollars in paper-besides Mrs. McGuin?
nis subscribes $1,000 additional in cash.
The following are the names of those, who
bave subscribed :

As our names did not appear on the list of
"Merchants to close at six o'clock," (in last
issue of Watchman and Soitthroit) and not
wanting the public to have the impression
that we refused to close, we cffer same, viz :
We did not this season and have rever re?
fused to close our place of business at 6
o'clock P. M. When the list was being car?
ried around for the merchants' signatures and
shown ns by Mr. Allan Flowers, we told him
we were perfectly willing to close, but not to
begin till May 13th (instead of May 1st,
as list read) thinking it quite early
enough, owing to our late Spring, and
moreover the stores have never hereto
tofore closed before the 10th of May.
As for compassion and liberal hours accorded
our salesmen we leave them to testify. We
accede to the 'general demand in closing our
store (from May 1st, at. six o'clock ) Our
dress-making department will not close until
May 15th, being impossible owing to rush of
work and promised suits between now and

You all know the man whose trousers look
a,s though they had been made for somebody
sise. He isn't altogether to blame for it.
rhe probabilities are that he spent as much
for them as would have purchased a perfect
it. The chances are that he couldn't tell
?rou just what's the matter with them-all
ie knows is : that there is something wrong,
[t's all a question of cut, and if the cutter
loesn't know his business it's a moral cer
:ainty that he will spoil the best material
:hat ever left a factory.

ind you'll find out just what we mean if you
livest in a pair of our

able pair. The ones marked
