JBDITO?IAL NOTES. The article from Prof. R Meaos Baris on the sob-treasur? h?l, which ?3 given on another page ?? a most tempe? rate and logical discussion of the mer? its and defects of the measure. Prof Baris is a stan -of great learning, a ?an ?ho has made a scientific study of history, and as such is better qualified te point ont what is good, or bad in the proposed measure than any other we ctn call to mind. It is by tba study of the history of the past that wo may judge of what the future may bring forth. We commend the article to the careful attention of our Alliance readers.- * Frank Brown, democratic candidate for Governor of Maryland has been ' hall? ged to a plowing match by ~ an j .e Kepeblican candidate. Brown j bas fe JU endorsed by . the farmers and * his- election is assured. Tao Nort hopes to invalidate Brown's claim to being the farmers' candidate by' out pie wing him. Brown has accepted the challenge, aod says he can plow a straighter farrow than Tao Nert, al? though he has not touched a plow io ten years. v A pic nie party of a few British ma? rnes on the island of Mi ty lene io the Hellespont on Moo day set ali Enrope on the ?itt vive, and the whole world agog.

THE BISHOPV1XLE POST OFFICE. - ft 9:r We publish a fall account of the '?rents that led to the closing hf the BisbopvUle post office by the Post Office D?partaient more than a year ago, aod the eSorts that have since been made to hare the office re-established. We do not know why the office has been kept so ?long closed, unless it be to vent a portion of the ill-will that those io authority hare towards this section. While we believe that the parties who indicted Miller were wroog io ac? cepting the overture of Miller to vacate the onW in consideration of not bein g prosecuted Cor ear ry in g concealed wea pons, instead of letting the law take its course, we do not see that this is any valid reason for depriving a community nf folly 1000 people the mail facil ties to which they are entitled. We trust the matter will be thor onghly investigated by our represen? tatives io Congress, and, if posible, bave the ojjbe re-established at Bishop tille, fiar the citizens of that place are 86v? put to great inconvenience. Fur? thermore we believe that it is an outrage sot to be justified' by ac? law of the Post G&ce Department. %OB? ABOUT SOmOh BOOKS, j In a late issne we had something to say about the establishment ef a re? pository as a os eau s cf cheapening school books. Space prevented going toto the details of the system as we have ween it applied. T>-day ve wish to briely omtftae the plas, . The county board of education, of j ' which we have BO counterpart in this Stale, appropriates a sufficient som of j money to purchase a supply of the se? ries of books used io the public schools. These books sr? boaght at a discount nf 20 per ?ent from the* list price, and sis ?old at a price just suffi - clent to corer the freight and cost of handling. Thc School Commissioners io th>s instance, is appointed mana? ger of the repository and is respon Bible to and under the supervision of the County Board of ?ducation. A j price Hst is furnishes each teacher, and j the Hst also published io tbs coon y j 1 paper. The books are sold strictly for j cash, asd coder -no sireumstanses al ' lowed to go out on credit. Teachers are expected to act as j agents, and it is very little trouble for j them to do so. The price list being published, there ts no opportunity for ! teachers to speculate on the books on their private account, if a teacher loses money by percussing books for pupils aod failing to collect, it is bis ,own fault. The plao is not perfect by any means, bot wheo a plao is a means of saving fro? %) to 75 per cent., as has been actually the case, it is worth trying. School books are too dear, and the children must be educated for the coun? try's good, hence there must be found some way to lessen the cost. SANITARY 8BWEBAGE. It is stated by men who have given the subject life-long study, that there is not a city io the United States where the sewerage is properly disposed of, and the proper sanitary precautions taken in ?be disposal of the garbage which collects io the streets, with the excep? tion of Pullmao, III , built by Geo. Poi 1;?:ac the car manufacturer ss a model. |n that city the European sys? tem of sewerage is followed, and all sewerage is collected in one place and thence pumped to a farm several miles away, where it is used for fertilizing purposes. j?o garbage of any descrip? tion is allowed to go into the sewers, bot is collected sod the refuse burned. X* u.i I lusa. Is iadeed the ai va el city of the United States, but the majority of the German cities far surpass it io cleanli? ness. The streets of Berlin "are as cleao as our household floors," says Dr. Far? quhar Ferguson,* of New York, who has travelled throngh Europe observing the sanitary precautions used in the various countries. Immediately after a shower, io Berlin, a regiment of men Hoe the streets, flush them and wash away all refuse. Tt is to these obser? vances of the- laws of health that the absence io Germany of many of the fevers prevalent m this country is due. Many German physicians claim that, to the total disregard of sanitary condi? tions may be ascribed the prevalence of I fevers throughout the United States, j Some of our cities are naturally bet? ter located for drainage and are, there ! fore, more healthy. But it is due to a benignant Providence more thao any ! thing else, that^tbere are not more, and ? more fatal epidemics of disease caused and fostered by the filthiness of our cities. v Iris a common idea that when an open ditch has been dog to carry away tho surface water from a town to the nearest water course, ali that is necessary has been dose. That is drainage, not saoitary sewerage. Every one will agree that health is more to be desired that money, aod for that 1 reason we urge upon our citizens the j necessity of taking steps towards pro? viding for a system of sewerage that will make this city even more healthy than it is at present. Sumter is natu rally drained by the streams on either hand of the city. By the exercise of a little common sense the city could be thoroughly drained, aod all mud-pud? dles annihilated, aod that cheaply. But common sense seems to be a scarce, a very scarce, article io these parts. Converse College. The crowded condition of ocr columns hutt week prevented of.a notice of this college, which we intended giving at that time. By reference to the advertisement the reader will see that the coarse of study pursued at Con? verse entitles it to rank in grade with the best male colleges ia the South. The establish? ment of Converge College was a long stride towards that ereat desideratum, the higher education of women in -the South, and it is worthily fulfilling ita office. ' At the head of . the faculty is Rev. B. F. Wilson who was raised io Sumter conn ty, and who still, no donut, io memory thinks of it as home. The college bas aa able facul? ty, and deserves the distinguish*d success it baa already achieved; and we should be greatly pleased to know that a hearty support was b??og given it from President Wilson's native county.

M# Dear Mr. Reynolds ; Your letter for the Ladies Memorial'Asso? ciation of Sumter asking me to make the oration oo memorial day next year, is just to band.

St Joseph's Academy. Ou Monday the 7th instant, St. Joseph's A. ca deja y opened ander the most favorable auspice*. This school has done a good work in ?e past, ?nd its sphere of usefulness la creases ead? year We take the. following item of interest from the Charleston World's Sumter correspon? dence: Sister, Mary Joseph, who bas for many years oficia ted as sister aa per tor at the con? vent at the Sister* cf our Lady of Mercy io this city, feas been chosen by the sisters of tfeat order iu the city of Charleston as assis? tant mother superior of the order is that city. Over tweuty-f v? years ago whee the ai-jters sought Ibis ci y as a ref?ge from the dangers of war,* bringing arith them their orphans, Sister Mary Joseph accompanied tbaa. Soon after they were well settled here they estab? lished a boarding acd day s- hool for young ladies.. This much loved sister se: ved as a teacher is ifcis insfuu-te until abojft ten years ago, ?kan she succeeded Sister Mary Agatha j as sister superior. As a trainer of ?hs j aid ? i*ct of yoctb, anda good head of toe order i and school, the hundreds of graduates of this I school during the last twenty-five years will \ testify, and the time-honored institution of St. Joseph's academy of to-day, stands as a mon? ument to ber ir.de-awgfible efforts during ber stay in Sumter She has by ber kind and loving ways endeared herself to the people of this county, particularly the younger element, and ber departure from ibis, her Geld of labor for so many years ia the works of mercy and the servir? ot God, will be deeply regretted by all who know her Sister Mary Joseph has been succeeded by S-'Ster Mary Loretta, another charitable and dearly loved sister, who has worked for many years Side by side with sister Mary Joseph, in the establishment of 09e of the finest female colleges in the South. Sister Loretta's long experience fully qualifies hf r for the important dtuifS of sifter s perior, ?nd under her man? [agemeat St. Joseph's Academy basa bright future .tc. deed.' ? ?Jj.ll I I The Darlington Home Guard. The military comedy, The Home Guaid, produced by the Darlington Theatrical Com? pany at the Academy of Music on last Thurs? day night was as tine an Amateur perform? ance as a Sumter audience h*s evpr witnessed. The Academy was filled with the most intel, ligeut-.people of this city, and they chowed their -appreciation of the play by fr? quent ap? plause. The entire self possession which each one displayed, the ease wi'h which they adapted themselves to the parts poi tray ed and the grace and naturalness of gesture and movement evidenced careful preparation and natural histrionic ability. We would not attempt to criticise individual excellences, or defects tn act? ing but eau not forbear to express ihu gen? eral appreciation produced by the acting of Misse* Emma Williamson as .Mrs. Law. ton, Catsie Spain, as Nellie Lawton -sbt was undoubtedly ttie bright partie? I rr star of the performance?-and Carrie Mciver, as Mabie Rutledge. Mr. R. E James as Cate ! was an artistic study in charcoal, who livened up the evenj*?g with Dashes of wit attributed to, hut ysuallv so rare iu the real brother in black. Mr. f. U. Spain, as Chester Lawton, the hero, looked, as weil as actrd, the gallant soldier boy, to perfection. \V. J Garner, at Gordon Reid, T. H. Spain, a- Hiram Jinks, and J. L Michie, as Hosea Jinks, post master aod punster, were nil admirable. One of tbe features of the eren in j?, whick was nola pait ot the announced program, but which was enjoy ed by many more tba H anything else was the song by Miss Bessit Williamson, who bas a voice of grett purity and sw ??turfs. We can assure the Darlington Gwrds an ? their fair and talented co-arijmors a hearty welcome from a Sumter audience when next they grace the stage of our Academy ol Music.

We have decided to make a departure from the old order of things, and to that end have wade arrangements for a supply of artistic advertising cuts. These cuts are attractive and, it will be impossible for a properly worded advertisement containing one of these illustrations to pass cnseen or unread. The progressiveness of the times has left far in the rear the old stjle of advertising which usually consisted in a simple an nouncement of the arrival of new goods, and that the firm of Allwool k Ayardwide would sell goods cheaper tbao any other firm in the city. At the present time a merchant most make his advertisement catchy and attractive, and at the same time give useful information con? cerning the poods he wisbess to sell. We can assist rou to do this and will be glad to have you come in and look at proofs of the new advertising novelties we have on hand. mm r i mm Prom Another Point of View. The editors of onr Sumter exchanges would be very ungrateful if they were not fat and happy i for, so far as we know, they could take the first premium for the space they have io advertising. This clearly shows that Sum? ter has as enterprising merchants as can be found anywhere and that they are cot afraid to spead money in order to make money. The town not only does a large retail busi? ness, but has a very fine wholesale trade also, and this trade has been lnrgely built up by liberal and persistent advertising. Of course we can only guess at the figures, but some of the Sumter business houses rou3t spend seve? ral hundred dollars in ibis one item alone, and as they keep it up they must be convinced that it pays. Our Sumter contemporaries are kept too busy to quarrel with each other, even if they bad the disposition, bot we think they are too good natured, grunting that they bad the time.-Darlington Herald. Davidson College. Mr Charles Montgomery returned last week to Davidson College, where be bas been a student for tbe past two year*. Be waa ac? companied by Mr. Prierscn Reid of our city, and Mr. Milton McKinnon of Bossards, who go np to begin their college course. Although this delegation from onr enanty is sroasler than of yore, when Sumter count? ed her boys there by the dozeo, we are glad to know that the quality is first class, and we are willing to have them taken as a sample of our youth. lt will be cheering new? to the cid students and friends generally of the institution to know that in the midst of the depressing times on wbicb we bave fallen, the College has made the finest opening in her history. A larger number have already, during the first week, been enrolled than ever before, and many more are known to be coming.
