Last Friday their little boy, James Herbert, was taken from them. He was a bright aud inter? esting child, only three years of age. The hear tie lt sympathies of the people of Sumter go out to the grief st ricken parents in their now almost deserted home. Out of a group of four happy children, death has only left them one, a boy of eleven. Mr and .Virs. Frank Peebles, of Spring Hill, lost their eldest daughter Bessie, about four years old, by death on Monday. Mr. and Mrs J. T. Muonerlyn lost their infaut on Sunday, 1 day old. Ac infant of Mr. and Mrs. Joel E. Brimson, died at the residence of Dr. J. A. Mayes, of M ?yes vi He, last Sunday. Died in the City of Sumter, S. C., on the 15th of June, 1391, Margaret Cooyers, aged nine months and sixtee? ?Jays, daughter of Isaac C. and Lula M. Ingram, and grand? daughter of Rev. H. M. Mood. Her remains were interred in the Manning Cemetery. Dr. W. Hamilton Burgess, after a H?gering illness from heart disease, died at his home, Enfield, near Stateburg, Saturday afternoon last. He bad just prescribed for a friend nod while conversing io bis usual entertaining way, be felt those premonitions, which bis skill as a pbysican told bim were serious. Leaving his f tie nd be went to the bedside of his wife, and telling her of his approaching end he sank quietly to the Soor and expired. Dr. Burgess was graduated at the Charles? ton Medical College and afterwards served on the staff of hospital physicians where be ac? quired very valuable experience. He loved bis profession aod pursued its practice at State burg and throughout the county for the past ten years with marked success. He was en? deared to many by his fine traits of character, and the charm of bis social intercourse. At the early age of 38 with a future of promise before him, his death is one of the saddest episodes in the annals of the community. A widow and four children (the last but a few days ord) survive bim, who have the deep and heartfelt sympathy of their friends. Dr. Burgess' funeral was held from the Charch of the Holy Cross, (Stateburg) last Monday in the presence of an unusually large number of the friends of bis early youth and acquaintances of later years. His remains were laid to rest in the church yard near those of bis ancestors. Keligious. Bishop Howe, of the Episcopal Church, will make his annual visitatioa to St. Phillip's Church, at Bradford Springs on Tuesday, June 30th. Rev. Mr. J. G. Richards, Evangelist of Harmony Presbytery, is expected to occupy the pulpit of Tirzah Church ou next Sunday, 21st inst. Dr Edmunds will preach at Summerton next Sabbath, consequently no service will be held in hts church hore on that day. Four additional deacons wer* elected at the meeting of the congregation of the Presby? terian Church last Sunday. The names of the new deacons are: Messrs. R.A.Brand, H. F. Wilsou, A. White, Jr., and J. L. Haynsworth. . i - ? ? - Children of Israel. Last Friday was the occasion of the aunaat coo?rmation services at the Beth Elohim Synagogue in Charleston. Amid the sur? roundings of the historic old temple these sacred ceremonies were v?ry beautiful and impressive. A number of the candidates for confirmation including their friends went down to attend the services. The children of Sumter, it is observed in the News and Courier, perhaps deserve greater credit, for their excel? lent work considering the lark of early train? ing ia Sabbath Schools..

A few mornings apo we were informed by a well known young gentleman of this city, that one of his customers had shown him a letter received from one of the officials of Sumter County. Copies similar to the one received by bim had been sent out generally over the county to the friends of Mr. Keel?, calling upon them to gather here and consult together as to the best course for him to pur? sue in the criminal cases against him. Speaking for himself he did not regard the case as one of any political significance, what? soever, and as far as he was concerned be would have nothing-to do wish it. We have seen the gen'leraan who wrote these letters. So far from denying the fact he showed them to us, but denies that they were written with any view to create the impres? sion that it was a case of political persecution. He said he did not regard the criminal cases as such, inasmuch, as be thought the Grand Jury, composed, partially of Tillman men most have had sufficient evidence before them to find true bills, but he did regard the civil proceeding on the part of the bar as persecu? tion. In respect to the criminal cases against Mr. Keels we have nothing to say, except that if innocent we sincerely hope that he may be able to prove himself so. As the correspon? dent of the News and Courier remarks in Monday's issue, it will be a very difficult matter to convince the public of such charges of prejudice and political persecution on the part of such men as A F. Cousar, Dr. Henry Stuckey and Maj. W. F. B. Hayoswortb, and others of equally high standing. Mr. Cardar elli's Crane. Mr. E. Cardarelli, of Sumter bas made a name for himself, and perhaps a large fortune J by bis brilliant invention-as brilliant as the electric brightness of the light by which means it is intended more freely to dispense it. Mr. Cardarelli has j'ist returned from the North where he has made a contract with a large factory to manufacture the cranee. This company has contracted to pay him 50 cants royalty on every crane they make. Mr. Cardarelli has also been offered 25 cents apiece for the use of one of his improvements only. When we consider the number of electric lights over the whole of the United States, it is not hard to imagine at 50 cents apiece, or even 25 cents that it will no? be long before we will have a millionaire in Sumter. Besides Mr. Cardarelli o:i!y receives this amount from the factory for the priv?eje of making machines and this has nothing to do with the selling price. We have seen the printed plan from the patent office, and Mr. Cardarelli's model, and it is very complete and simple. By it a lamp can be lowered or raised in the simplest manner, and while it is a trreat laborsaving device, it wii! perform the far more important office in preventing the frequent sacrifice of human life involved io the manipulation of electric lights. We con? gratulate our fellow townsman on his good luck. His fortune oow seems almost assured. Earle O aced by Scarborough and Others. Sometime ago Joe Albright, the German Iohorer, on Capt. Maxcy's place, who testi? fied in the recent mulder trial, was arrested for complicity in the murder, and in default of bond was lodged in jail. A great many citi? zens of the neighborhood were satisfied of his innocence, ?nd were indignant at his impris? onment. Col. Earle volunteered his service? to defend him free of charge. He appeared before Judge Fraser, at Chambers, aod, upon the showing made before him, His Honor granted an order discharging him imme? diately from custody. Appreciating the kindness and magnanimi? ty of the act, Col. W. I). Scarborough, Capt. E F. Burroughs and Mr. John Kingman, in behalf of themselves and other citizens, pur? chased of Mr. H. A. Hov?, of this city, a beautiful gold-headed ebony cane. Last Saturday in the presence of a small number of friends, Col. Scarborough presented the cane in a neat little speen, as follows : REMARKS. Gentlemen and Fellow- Citizens : It is one of the characteristics of all civil? ized people, and especially is it a character? istic of the people of our country to be poss?ssed of a high sense of justice, and also a dee).- and genuine spirit of sympathy for the afflicted and the helpless This characteristic is commendable and praiseworthy when tem? pered with reason, and should be encouraged and inculcated by all who are interested in the civilization and moral elevation of the present and future generations of our people. A very recent demonstration of this char? acteristic of our people, and, in which, it is remarkable and gratifying, to see men of all colors and political parties and factious, for? getting even the recent and bitter political campaign, united in a common sentiment of justice, and moved by the spirit of sympathy, bas called us together at this time, and im? posed upon me the pleasant duty of expressicg, not io the spirit of hero worship, nor undue laudation of man, for that savors of idolatry, and is therefore wrong, but, in the spirit of just appreciation of an act of unselfish and charitable duty performed by a distinguished citizen. In behalf of his 'numerous fellow-citizens, whose names I have on record, and will hand bim, I beg to present to Col. Joseph H. Earle this emblematical, plain, straight, but hand? some cane, as a souvenir of their appreciation of his act of mercy ia rescuing from persecu? tion aod liberating from prisoti without fear of censure, or hope, or promise of reward, as it is believed, the poor and friendless stran? ger, Joe Albright. And it is presented with the request, Col. Earle, that it be handed down from generation to generation of your posterity, that they may learn from the in? scription thereon something of the character and virtues of their ancestor and his gener? ation. Col. Earle replied in a fitting speech, thank? ing them for the hit.h compliment paid him. He said be regarded what he had done as nothing more than a simple duty that any one, who had a proper conception of the re? quirements of the high position to which he belonged, would have done. That the cane would al way s be prized by him and handed down by the family from generation to gener? ation. The cane is quite a handsome one, aud bears the inscription : "To Joseph H. Earle, From friends of Justice. A Souvenir for the charitable defence of a poor German, 1891." Oil Mill For Snmter. Mr. Jas. M. Ormes, of New York city, was here last Monday. Mr. Ormes is the repre? sentative of the Columbia Oil Millo of Chi? cago, one of the wealthiest companies io the country. While io Charleston last week, one of Sumter's Centennial pamphlets, containing a history of its industries aud advantages fell into his bands, and being impressed with what was therein set forth, at the suggestion of Mr. Simeon Hyde, he visited the city, with the intention-if in accordance with the views of the people-of locating a Cotton Seed Oil Mill here. Mr. Ormes has a good deal of experience in the organization of en? terprises of thia character. His company already has several large mills in successful operation in different parts of the country. He thinks from what he has learned of Sumter that such a mill would pay handsomely. The^capital stock will vary in respect to the size of the plant, from $25,000 to $50,000. Mr. Ormes'people offer to subscribe for one half of the capital stock and guarantee to purchase ali the oil manufactured at the ruling market price. They further propose, if the peop'e here approve to build the mill and send on a competent man of large experience to manage and direct its workings. An informal meeting of citizens who came to consult with Mr. Ormes, io the matter, was held in the law office of Messrs. Hyde ? Reynolds, and from the present outlook the mill will be built without a doubt. Owing to the absence of several prominent gentlemen the meeting was adjourned until a day next week. In the meantime ihose who have the points will have time to consider them fully and be prepared to say how much stock they will take. The establishment of such au industry here will be the means at once of introducing a large amount of foreign capital into Sumter, and of attracting more. It will give employ? ment to a large number of people, who will spend their earnings in the city. Every gentleman present at the meeting, and after its adjournment several others, stated their intention of taking stock. Mr. Ormes returned to Charleston the same night much pleased with Sun. ter. He sajs if he meets with any encouragement in the mill matter he will return any day that the gentlemen interested may indicate. Sumter's Machinery Depot. Mr. H. B. Bloom, manager of the Sumter Branch of the Cheraw Machine Works has moved into the store formely rented by Mr. T. B. Curtis as a grocery, aud has located his machinery, engines, gins, mills, shafting, implements, etc. Mr. Bloom is very much impressed with Sumter, and thinks its rail? road facilities are the best iu the state fora city of its size. The Cheraw Machine Works, of which Mr. J. W. McKay is President; W T. McKay, Sec & Treasurer and W. J. Hinshaw, Super? intendent, was established a few years ago at Cheraw, S. C , and has been uuusually suc? cessful. The trade has increased very mate? rially, reaching into all the Southern States, and the company have found it to their interest to establish a branch house here. It pays them better to forward their machinery to this point, which is in every way central and re-ship to their customers. Mr. Bloom who has had considerable experience in machine shops iu the North and West, says the shops of the Cheraw Machine Works are well established and are among the best ii the country. This is a magnificent farming section of the State. The lumber and other resources are as yet undeveloped, and there will un? doubtedly be a great demand for new and im? proved machinery. We feel sure the Cheraw company can supply the demand in this tespect, and we bespeak for them a liberal patronage Mr. Bloom will reside in Sumter and give his entire attention to the manage? ment of the company's business here. Distribution Hop. We have received a very neatly printed in? vitation to attend the annual Distribution Hop, to be given at Armory Hall, Monday evening. June 224. Chaperones-Dr. and Mrs. S. C. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Mattbiessen, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Monaghan and Mr and Mrs. Ferd Levi. Committee-J. J>^Harby, L. L Kennedy, I. H. Moses, Jr , and BTW. Stubbs. -m^m? The Bishopviile Bail Hoad J Work on the extension of the Bishopviile Railroad is progressing finely. There was some apparent delay on account of building ?he trestle over the branch,-which is over 700 feet long, and about 17 feet high in places. This has been finished-and an elegant piece of work it is too,-and progress will now go on more rapidly. They have a large force of hands at work, and the work is being pushed to the fullest extent. They are building a good road, are putting down good cross ties and plenty of them. Our friends along the proposed route may be easy, they will soon bave a railroad, and a good one.- Eayle.

Pursuant to a published call tbs Sumter Cemetery lot-owners held their annual meet inp last week at the City Council Hall. The following gentlemen were present : Rev. Dr. Kdraands. Wm. Yeadon, W. A. Brown, J. D. Craig, John Reid, R. D. Lee, J L. Haynsworth, J. D. Blanding, J. B. Ronch nnd W.H. Yates. The President of the Association Mr. J. B. ROM ch, made the following report: Gentlemen : Si nee our lagt annual meeting very little has been done in the wav of im? provements, or in keeping the grounds in or? der. It has been the wish of the Trustees to ac? cumulate a fund for the purpose of erecting a Porter's Lodge, hence the reason for so little having been done. I am pleased to inform the Association that we have in our treasury, as will be seen by report of Secretary and Treasurer, about $500.00 and hope to see a suitable building for a Porter's Lodge erected in the near future. It has been my pleasure to serve this association as President for over 20 years, and I am pleased to say that our Association is financially tn better condition now than at any time in the past. Respectfully submitted, J. B. ROACH, President. The Secretary and Treasurer's report was then read, the following is a summary of the same: To Cash on hand last meeting $ 259 41 ii i< receive(j from 0i<j a8_ se?graenr, 6 00 ?i it received from burial fees, 63 00 11 14 received from sale of Lots, 165 00 Interest on Deposits, 5 13 $498 54 By Cash from Secretary and Treasurer 5 per cent?n $239 13, ll 96 $486 58 The Finance Committee instructed the Sec? retary and Treasurer to transfer all money now on open account deposit to Savings Department in Simonds National bank. It was decided by the meeting to expend the $500 on band in building a Porter's Lodge and as the amount of course, would not be sufficient, the Sec. and Treas, was au? thorized- to circulate a subscription list to obtain the balance neccessary for that object, and also for other improvements that may be necessary. It was also ordered to employ a porter. On motion of R. D. Lee Esq , the Secreta? ry was requested to ask City Council to re? place the missing trees on the avenue leading to the grounds. The matter of the neglected condition of the cemetery grounds has now for sometime been agitating our people. Constant depre? dations are being committed, fences are in? jured, graves defaced, flowers stolen and the grounds desecrated in other ways. We feel satisfied that the expenditure of the $500 now in the treasury, in building of a Lodge for, and in the employment of, a keeper and in other necessary improvements upon the cem? etery property, decidedly the best disposition to make of the funds. Skirmish With a Squirrel. Mr. W. W. McKagen had around his house, corner of Washington and Republican Streets, a tame fox squirrel, which he kept tn a cage. It is one of the largest of its kind and bad been pampered to a considerable degree. It became enraged yesterday from some cause and escaped from the cage. Mr. Spann and one of the boys were hunting for it, when all of a sudden they heard a scream from Mrs. Jones who lives in one of Dr. China's cot? tages adjoining tbe lot. The squirrel had run along the dividing fence, and pounced upon Mrs. Jones who was standing near the fence at the time. She was severely scratched about the face and badly bitten on the wrist. The sharp teeth of the mad creature must hare struck a vein or artery, as th? blood came so freely, Dr. Hughson was called in for medical attention. At this writing Mrs. Jones is better and the squirrel has been shot. Those who saw the squirrel say it was in a perfect frenzy of rage.
