The object of this con? fieren ce ia to form?late plans Tor the proper and Sui ng exhibit of South Carolina's natur? al resources and manufactured products. At the same meeting a committee was ap? pointed to confer wtth the Atlantic Coast -Line authorities for', the*- revocation of the order forbidding the freight. trains to carry ^asiengers. "This ; order : went into effect about thre? wee?Sa'or a month ago, and 'the injury it: has already done to Sumter's trade is perceptible to even a casual observer. A. Ry t ten berg, J. H.

The pressed brick being used in the construc? tion of the Graded School building are the first lot of pressed brick ever manufactured in Sumter. The brick are of good quality and perfectly hard and smooth. After being made by the regular brick machine the bricks are passed through another machine which represses them, reducing their thickness about one-third. The cost of the brick is increased $3.00 per thousand by this process, but it is claimed" that the pressed brick are worth tbe difference. The brick are made at (be brick yard of J.

Again on Monday night some villainous scoundrel, ?ho desires to injure the city, cut the ropes suspending five electric light?, thus dropping them to the groaad, breaking the ?iresit and throwing the city into darkness from before I a. m. until daylight. The lights cat are located at the Methodist Church, corner Warren and Mein Streets near the residence of Col. R. D. Lee. Pres? byter ian Church, and on Mill Street near Mr. j W. F. Rhame*s residence The number of tights eat dowa shows that the parties com emitting the outrage were actuated by a spirit of destructiveness, tor as soo:i as one light is . cot down the city is deprived., of light, and ! ail other lights were evidently cut down for ' tbe single purpose of destroying them. Old fashiuaed punishments were often very effective, and it seems that the tar-bucket should be hunted op, the gaftty parties given j a liberal coat of it, and then taken - out of j town astride a rail with a warning not to ! return, lest a worse fate befall them. -a^ Boll of Hoaor.

Mrs. Ann Brailsford, an aged resident of the P.vuola, Clarendon county, neighbor? hood, died on Thursday evening last, after a lingering illness, aged ??out ?5 years. She was the mother of Capt. D. W., and A. Moul? trie Brailsford, and of Messrs. Thomas, and John, and Miss Clara Brailsford, who survive ber. Her remains were interred at St. Mark's Church, rear Fulton, of which she hud been loni; and consistently a member. A large concourse of friends attended the burial serrice On Tuesday flight, of diphtheria. Miss \Umie Harby, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs Horace Harby. Seldom, if ever, hare we taken up our pen to recorn a death notice with greater reluct? ance and more sincere sorrow. It seems im? possible that we shall never again on earth meet and greet Mamie Barby. Bright, beau? tiful, amiable, gentle modest, a flower just bursting into full bloom, a star just mounting to the zenith of our social firmaneut. she bas beeu called to bloom on in the Garden of God, and to shine on in the land of pure and undefiled spirits. "She ?aw a hand we cannot see, That beckoned her away ; She heard a voice we cannot hear, That would not let her stay." Stricken .but a week ago with the terrible disease tbat took ber off. she was calm, col? lected, quiet and perfectly self-possessed, tnroupout ber entire illness. Her physicians having decided that tracheotomy was neces? sary, she submitted with impressive courage to the ordeal that might have theo end there terminated ber existence, though no anaesthe? tist were used. The entire community felt and manifested a deep ?nteres! in Mamie's illness, and many and earoect were the prayers that went up on her behalf to the Throne ol Grace. When it was known this morning that ber gentle spirit had fled during the night, while nature wept as if in sympa? thy with the human sorrow, and the winds wailed a requiem, it is no exaggeration to say that the whole city felt that it bad sustained a personal bereavement and loss. On jamie's beautiful honv-life, and on the grief of the family circle, we do not intrude, feeling that these are subjects too sacred for public comments bot we wish the stricken hearts to know and be assured of the univer? sal sympathy that is felt, and that though powerless to help in a sorrow sb sore, all their friends are mourning with them to-day -For the touch of a vanish'd band, And the sound of a voice that ls still'd - Gin Accident. Anthony Jackson, a negro running the gin for Mr. B W. Pegues on the plantation I own*d by Rer Hodges, near Providence, bad the fore finger of his right hand wrenched off, [ on Monday ' evening by becoming caught ; between the belt and the gin pulir. The ac i cident was not dangerous, although ex I treacly painful. One peculiar feature of the accident was that the wound did not bleed at I all, this being caused by the manner io 'which the injury was inflicted; the finger being twisted off, producing natural ligation of the blood vessels. Hotel Meeting. At the meeting of the Hotel directors on last Friday evening matters of importance came up for consideration, which after con? siderable discussion the directors decided to submit to a meeting of the stockholders for settlement, as they did not desire to assume the responsibility. Therefore a meeting of all the stock-holders has been called for on the evening of Monday, November 16th, in the office of A. White k Soo. Final action will be taken and it is important that all stock? holders be present, or represented. Fair Visitors. The crowd of fair visitors to Columbia from this place is not as large as usual, but the crowd is sufficient to remind people from other parts of the State, that Sumter still holde a place amoog toe cities of the State. - 175 tickets have been sold over the A. C. L., np to this morning. A large number from this county along the line of the C. S. k N Rail rond have probably taken advantage of the excursion rates over tbat line in connection with the A. C. L., and this number must be added to the 175 that bought tickets at this depot. Change of Bank Officers. Many people will learn with surprise and regret that Mr A. White, Jr., Cashier of the Bank of Sumter has resigned bis position on account of continued ill health, the resigna? tion taking effect on the 15 tb instant. Mr. W. F. Rbame, at present teller, bas been elected by the directors to succeed Mr. White ; and Mr. Bryant J. Rbame, book-keeper, has been promoted to the tellersbip. No Book? keeper bas been selected yet to succeed Mr. Rhame. The following r?solution was unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors : Mr A. White. Jr , having requested the Board to release bim from his position as Cashier on account of the impairment of his health, Resolved that appreciating the reason of Mr. White's resignation, we cannot refuse to accept it ; but we do so with regret that the reason exists for it. That we highly ap? preciate bis past faithful and efficient services, and cordially wish for bim speedy restoration to health, and, in any future undertaking the success to whi b his fidelity, tudnp*** ?nd superior business qualifications eminently entitle bira. By the Board, W. F. B. HAYHSWORTH, President. - ALTAMONT Mosas, Secretary. The Champion of the State. Mr. A. G. Flowers, who entered the Inter State Type Setting Contest at the Piedmont Exposition, Atlanta, Ga., returned on Monday night, the winner of tho ^ecood'prize $125.00. There were twenty two entries from ail pxer the Sooth, all of wbom, stayed io the race to the close. He is undoubtedly the fastest type -seller io this State, -rf not in the South, and with equal chances would have woo the first prize in the contest.

DuBose on last Thursday evening, complimentary to Misses Susie Haile, of Camden, May Ervin, of Darlington, and Nina Moise, of this city, who were the guests of the Misses Dick. Dancing began about 9 o'clock, aod many happy belles and their admirers tread the mazy intricacies of the waltz in unison with sweet strains of music furnished by West berry's band until long after the witching hoar of midnight had past. Besides the young ladies of the neighbor? hood and those previously mentioned there were present Misses Emmie Sanders, Florida Wilson and Addie DesCbamps, and Messrs. Wv McD.

T. C. Scaffe. Marriage at Kcmbert's Church, Nov. 4th, 1891. Upon the evening of the 4th inst, a large and brilliant company met at the above Church upon the occasion of the wedding services of Miss Alja Heriot to Mr. Samuel J. Hill. The Church is beautifully situated amid stately oaks and majestic pines, ; while at its base, a meandering stream with pure and limpid water glides. Upon its site for over a century have religious services been here observed, and from this sacred spot, one of the first vigorous impulses have been given to Methodism in Carolina. Yet, strange to say, tradition gives no re? cord of any marriage service having been performed at "Rembert's Church^ until this auspicious eve. Before the entrance of this Church? brilliant lights illumined the spacious grounds, while the interior was superb? ly decorated with floral wreathes and evergreens-^the chancel was an actual bed of rare exotic plants-innumerable waxen tapers shone with a softened, mellowed light amid the wealth of love ly flowers. In front of the altar a spa? cious arch of the same treasures of the Spring of varied hues, far extended, and from whence there hung an exqui? site marriage bell with a lovely lily to proclaim the ' espousal, whilst above the chancel stood in beauteous mono? grams the initial letters of the betroth? ed lovers. Nor were these alone, for the gallery and chandeliers were alike embowered in the loveliest flowers, while Chinese lanterns lent an addi? tional brilliant lustre to the already beautiful scene. But see! how expec? tation sets upon every brow ! The hap? py pair with their attendant escorts are at the outer door. First, in ad? vance, approach the respected parents of the lovely bride-Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Heriot-he dignified, serious, as sym? pathetic with the gravity of the occa? sion, yet with a contented repose in his demeanor; she, the prudent part? ner of his life, in full splendor of iorm and face. "Wearing the rose of womanhood, Leaned on him", faithful, gentle, good." Next followed, the elegant and grace? ful ushers, Messrs. R. B. Wilson and T. D. DuBose, Jr., leading the way for the charming bridesmaids and their attendant groomsmen. First in the van came : Mr. T. S. DuBose and Miss Lou Chandler. Mr. Donald Green and Miss Florida Wilson. Mr. Arthur Green and Miss Agnes Dick. Mr. John Law and Miss Annie Din kins. Mr. Willie McLeod and Miss May Joye. Mr. Clifton Dinkins and Miss Mar? gie Hill. Mr. Rembert Hill and Miss Addie DesChamps. The bridesmaids all m purest white, brilliant and dazzling visions of ethe? real beauty; the groomsmen, manly types of gallant gentlemen. And now came she, the cynosure of all eyes, the accomplished and loyely bride, just freed from academic halls; her mind deeply stored with solid facts, and graceful, poetic thoughts; in rich ar? no cream silk and lace en train, but, fr . without her bridal veil, shone out a sweet expectant face, and an expres? sion full of purity and grace. Whilst up the aisle moved the joyous throng, loud and full, with a grand, stirring melody there came upon the entranced ear of the hushed assembly, the inspir? ing strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March, as skilfully wrought, in many a noble organ rolling wave of sound, by Prof. H. D. Corbett. How, at last, beneath the beauteous marriage bell, stand the bridal pair. He, with the aspect of a victor looking down with pride upon the lovely trea? sure at his side. She, looking upward with fond trustfulness in all her air and mien, and are here solemnly united in the holy bonds of matrimony by that excellent christian divine, the Rev. W. H. Wroten, bestowing upon the united pair (they reverently kneel? ing) a benediction full of high and holy hopes. IGNITUS. Resolutions of Thanks. SCMTKR, NOT. 10, 1891. ?t a meeting of the board of School Com? missioners held Nor. 3rd, 1891, the following resolutions ^ere unanimously passed : Resolved, That the thanks of the Board of School Commissioners are due and hereby tendered to Claremont Lodge No. 64, A. F. M., The Killougb Piano Co., and to Mrs. Jno. Kershaw and the ladies who formed the Choir, and to Prof. Scull and the 4th Regiment Band for the services rendered us?t the laying of the Corner Stone of the New School Houee on the 19th Oct. last, also to the Hon. H. Frank Wiison for bis appropriate and elo? quent address. Resolved, that the papers of cur city be re? quested to publish same. - ? ? i Milton Nobles. . The play from Sue to Son, in which Milton and Dollie Nobles took the leading parte., drew a fair siz-d audience on Saturday evening, in fact a large audience for Saturday. The play is attractive throughout in plot, execution and conclusion. The acting of Milton and Dollie Nobles was especially good. They presented their parts so uaturally and easily, that some people weredisappointed and pronounced them wanting in ability. There was that absence of all stagy effort, or super-dramatic enun? ciation that makes it delightful to be present. Io copying nature an actor attains the highest perfection of bis art when the copy is most correct, and Milton Nonles deserves to he called an artist. Dollie Nobles was as sweet and attractive in each of the characters she took, as natural and graceful. The support was excellent, especially Frank Cotton, as Peter Grimes, William Yerance, as Jonas Hardy and Harry Brown, as Dr. Mandrake. Exchanges.

How quickly a small thing can call np the recollection of thc past, and carry us back to the good old days when we, like the bojs of to dar, could go barefooted, play the good old games of yore, and enjoy a good case of cholera morbus, superinduced by a bat full of green apples, and this pleasure we have just gone through with in our minds caused by a conversation overheard on the streets, as carried on by two urchins, and we give it verbatim : "Say Johnnie let's play hop? scotch." "Hop-scotch, wats that?" "Why you just draw with chalk like this (making a diagram of the game), and then you take a flat rock and throw it io the different places and* hop in and kick it out." "Well that's good, let's go up here in front of E. E. Rem? bert k Co's, store, for that is a good smooth pavement." "Go away, child, don't you know you can't play there." Why?" "Be? cause Rem bett A Co dc ?v ^haUng big busi? ness, and the people coming in and out all the time would keep us continually stopping. No, sir, let's gel the paper and see who don't advertise much, and we can play before their doors all day without being disturbed ; but it's oo ase trying it at Reuibert k Co.'s for they do too big a business for thur." So off the two urchins weut tc find some secluded place, and shortly they were engaged before the door of a store that does but little ad? vertising. -mt* - -^???^~ The latest and most beautiful novelties of the season can be seen at Sumter Book and Novelty Store, opposite Court House. lt New arrivals-at Ducker ?fe Bultman.

The effect an advertisement has upon the reader is very well illustrated by the following, as related in the Mechanical News: A wealthy man who owns a country residence recently became dis? satisfied with it, and determined to have another. So he instructed a real estate agent famous for his descriptive powers to advertise it in the papers for private sale, but to conceal the location, telling purchasers to apply at his office. In a few days the gentleman happened to see the advertisement, was pleased with the account of the place, showed it to his wife, and the cwo concluded, it was just the place they wanted, and that they would secure it at once. So he went to the office of the agent, and told him that the place he had advertised was such a one as be desired, and he would pur? chase it The agent burst into a laugh, and told brm that it was a description of his own house where he was then riving. He read the advertisement again, cogi? tated over the "grassy slopes," ..beauti? ful vistas," "smooth lawns," etc, and broke out: ,4Is it possible? Well, make out my bill for advertising and expenses, for, by George! I wouldn't sell the place now for three time*what it cost me." The Merit of Persistence. One of the secrets of successful adver? tising consists in keeping your establish? ment and the wares you have to sell be? fore the eyes of the public continually. The great advertisers of the country never cease reminding you of their ex? istence. Their names, the location and nature of their establishments are thrust before you continually in the great dai? ly, weekly and monthly publications, and at the moment yon are ready to buy anything they have to sell, at that stane moment the names of these advertisers flash before your mind's eye, and* un? conscious of the influence their adver? tisements hs^e worked upon yon, you find yourself going to their places for what you require.-Reading (Pa.) Eagle. Look for an Invitation. Keep your eye on the newspaper? and see which of the enerchants want your custom and are sufficiently courteous to invite you to call There is much more in advertising than you may think. It is not only to tell of his goods that a man advertises, but is to invite the peo? ple who read-the thinking, the intelli? gent-?o pay him a visit, and judge for themselves as to the quality and price of what he offers for sale. People read the advertisements. Don't make any mis? take about that They are just as much interested in knowing where to buy to an advantage as tho advertiser is in sell? ing his goods. Qualifications for a Salesman. John Wanamaker addressed the Trav? elers' club in Philadelphia recently. .'Yon waut to be successful and you ^an. 1 don't believe that God ever or? dained that one man should be success? ful and another not, but lt lies with the man himself. One comes stumbling into your store, does not shut the door, and his breath smells of whisky. You want nothing to do with him Right after him comes another bright smart fellow. He walks briskly, shuts the door behind him and is cleanly attired; a dirty man can't be a salesman. The fellow majces an impression and sells his goods."
