The foundations for the brick stores being put up by Mr. Isaac Schwartz, have been commenced, but there was a delay caused by a mistake in locating the line of the North wall on Republican Street too near the street. The wall bas been drawn in, however, and the work is now proceeding. The frame of Mr. E. W. A. Bultman's house, on .Main Street, near tue Presbyterian Church bas been commenced. It will contain about seven or eight rooms Mr. C. T.

Mr. Elli? son is an authority on the subject of hers, and a most successful producer of queen bees, for which he bas a large demand from ell ove' the country. He is the pioneer of advanced bee culture in Sumter County. Honey, as an article of food is superior to most sweets and more digestive, so that in its natural state, it is ready for assimilation by the digestive organs, whereas sugar and other saccharine ptoducts have first to be converted by the gas? tric juices from cane sugar into grape sugar, honey being already grape sugar. Sumter Light Icfantry, Attention! ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MILITARY. The military committee of the Columbia Centennial have not been idle.

It seemed that with the execution of Centry Butler and Hamp1on Nelson, the public would have heard the last of this case. On Thurs? day morning quite a little sensation waa created by the arrest and imprisonment of Jue Allnrigbt, the German laborer, on the late CaptM?n Maxey's place. He was arrested on an affidavit sworn out by J Pete Wilson, before Trial Justice L. L. Fraser, charging him with complicity in the Maxcy murder. It has been known for sometime here, that in? fluences have ?en at work to procure other evidence in this case, but almost any one might sooner have been expected to be put under arrest than Joe Allbrigbt. Hts testi? mony in the case was clear and truth con? vincing. There was absolntely no inconsis? tency about it, and scarcely an attempt was made at crops-examination. In the initial confession of Centry Butler, when the narars of all who might, in the remotest degree, be connected with the crime, ought to have been mentioned, there was no one referred to but the real ac? complice Hampton Nelson. In the night ride to the jail on the evening of their arrest, Hampton Nelson said to the Sheriff, "Centry killed Capt. Maxcy." From the time when the net of circumstances first began to entangle them to the last awful momeo t spent on earth, no word escaped them that pointed to the slightest complicity on the part of Allbright in the crime. It has bepn stated that Mrs. Maxcy and some of the colored people in the community have paid the expenses incident to the working up of the case leading to the arrest and probable prosecution of Allbright. By a large majority of both white and col? ored in the community, be is believed to be innocent, and the fact of bis being a foreigner only recently naturalized, and a stranger without money and friends, taken away from a sick family, dependent upon bis daily labor for bread bas aroused their jympathies. On the other hand the idea pre? vails with some, that Allbright and the negroes on Capt. Maxcy's place supposed that DD the day of the murder Capt. Maxcy bad come down to Sumter to sell about twenty bal?s of cotton, and they thought he would come back that night with between $500 and ?1,000 on bis person. Taking advantage of the ill will existing between Butler and Nel? son and Capt. Maxcy, Allbrigbt induced them to assist him, along with the third negro, Andrew Spann, who has been in jail since the last term of court. It is stated thal the gun which did the shooting has beeo found and near the place of ambush, in a ?ecluded place, a long hole resembling a jrave. It is supposed that it was intended to conceal the body here. Capt. Maxcy really bad only a few dollars on his person at the time of the murder. WThether he was search? ed after the shooting is not-known, but it is ?oubtful. Allbright manifested no surprise at his irre3t. He said that he had beard it rumored that he would be arres'ed for some time before it was done, but that it had giveo him little concern as he could easily prove an alibi. Several gentlemen came to the city last Monday, in behalf of the prisoner, and Mr. 0. C. Habenicht, by whom Allbright bad been employed for a numbet of years, was written to for information concerning bis character. Mr. CF. A. Bultman says his brother Emil Allbright served through the war and be can testify to bis having been a brave and faithful soldier. Wonderful Work in Woods At the invitation of Messrs. Bowman & [ngr.-.tci, we stepped into their office to exam? ine some samples of the work of the Krutsch ?mbossing machine. The gp?c:mens exhibited mowed a variety and beauty of design in ilmost every ep*cip?i of wood, that in our >pinion quite eqnals, if they do not excel, the landsoraest carving. The process by which [his embossing is done is very much after th? nanner of planing and moulding, and c?ti ?>e done quite as cheaply, placing the pio iucta of the machine in any designs to snit ihe taste of the most fastidi?os, easily within ;he power of those of limited means, to in inlge their taste for the beautiful. A promi? nent government architect has written the fol owing about the machine: "Gentlemen, this ie one of the most com? plete, as well as useful wood-working ma? chines I ever saw, and the only oue of the {ind I have met with in my travels. It com? bines Strength, rapidity, elegance of execu io'n, and wherever it is introduced it will be ture to become a prime favorite with carpen? ters, contractors and builders. The former ;o8tly methods of preparing wood cutting or ?ngraving for ornamental finish, made it one >f the most expensive parts of the internal fit? tings of ail buildings, and it could only be indulged io by people of great wealth, or rich corporations and the Government. This ma? chine puts it in the power of even the builder )f limited means to indulge their tASte for the beautiful, and thisembosped work will become pooular wherever introduced. It is simply elegant in its soft and well lefined outlines, it is appropriate for a hun ?red uses, and psrticularly to Tor passen? ger coaches, sleeping And dining cars of the nighest style, as well as for the inside orna? mentation on all public buildings. I am thoroughly captivated by the machine a id ts work and shall at once pend in my recom? mendation that this material be used in the inside finish of your Government building." The patent rights of this machine fur the territory embraced in Virgina, North and South Carolina is controlled hy Messrs Bow nau & Ingram under a contract whh the jwners of the patent and it is the intention >f these gentlemen to organize in this city a company for the manufacture of furniture, iside furnishing of houses, coacbe", -tc, mat? ing caskets and in fact to make the products af the mill to fill any line tn which orna? mental wood can be used. Sumter is par? ticularly adapted for an industry of this ?ind-being abundantly supplied with hard wood of all kinds-and facilities which it of? fers for transportation, etc. The Northern cities will afford good market for the output af these mills, from the fact that the manufac? tured stuff can be shipped cheaper from this point after being manufactured at a legs cost than similar mills could afford to buy the raw material and prepare it for the market. mam -9m A Wagon Factory For Sumter. A perfectly reliable man, well known in Sumterand of large means, intends locating % large wagon factory in Sumter at an early ?ay. He wilt allow some of the Sumter peo? ple to tike stock in it, if they desire to do so Deep Rock Water, Peach Cream Soda, etc., at Gilliland's & Cu.'s Drug Store. Shooting Scrape Near Columbia. A most deplorable shooting affray occurred last Thursday, at the railroad camps of Stack and Root, on the South Bound Road, 10 miles from Columbia, resulting in the killing of John Bossard Hammett. The immediate cause of the quarrel was about $24.00 due by Messrs. Slack & Root to Mr. Hammett who was an employee of the firm. They were die cussing the seulement of the $24, that morn? ing and an eye witness reports .Mr. Hammett, as saying, "If you come dowa off your horse I'll whip y ou." Mr. Stack instead of accept? ing the invitation to fight, galloped his horse forward about twenty yards. Hammett im? mediately started to follow bim, when Stack turned and fired at him fire times, three of the balls taking effect, one in the fore-nrra, another in the upper arm near the shoulder and the third in the abdomen, the ball pas?* ing through the body to bis back, where it was extracted. The same witness says that at the time of the shooting, Hammett had neiih er knife or pistol. This statement is con? fided by Hammett in his anti-mortem state? ment. He died in Columbia last Friday ?rom the effects of his injuries. Stack claims that the killing was donein self defence, and under tue advice of his counsel Melton & Melton, bas delivered himself to the Sheriff Mr. Hammett was a son of thel*.*-- Wm. J. N.
