Death.
For the third time within the past two
weeks, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Ep perso a have had
to. bear a most severe afflction. 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

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.

sacred ceremonies were v?ry beautiful and
impressive. A number of the candidates for

The Keel'e Case.
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.

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.

Sumter Cemetery Association.
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

$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.
