The lecture of Rev. E. E. Ayres delivered ast night at the Sumter Institute was indeed . rare treat. Belhoven, was the subject, and ifter speaking generally of music as afine .rt, and showing what was and what was tot artistic music, tbe lecturer proceeded to rive a most pleasing and artistic sketch of Jethoven's life and works. The lecture was eplete with information, and so entertaining is to cause every one a feeling of regret that thad net been an hour instead of a half tour long. The speaker showed himself a ?erfect master of his subject, and a worthy >upil of the great master whose character and vorks he so forcibly portrayed. At the close of the lecture Mr. Arres reo lered in masterly style one of Heineken's ocatas. The evening was a delightful one, nach enjoyed by the teachers and young adies of the Institute and their friends who rrere so fortunate as to be present.

I ara at present unable to see what will be est for us to do. Some say plant tobacco, -ut we are not ahle to prepare for it. It rill cost so much to build barns and ar ange flues to cure it and then we would ave to hire some one that has experience in j v obarco culture to teach us to cultivate and ure ii, so I think that it is a l-ad job. but ne thing certain, we wtil have tr- make our iving at home more than we have been oing, for we cannot raise cotton and sell it yr less that it costs us to raise it. It is not JO late yet, I think farraeis had better plant .heat.

The following account of Mr. Geo. Duckers suicide is taken from ihe Columbia State. Mr. C. F. A. Bultman returned t0 Sumter yesterday morning, leaving Mr. Ducker in a condition that gave hope for his recovery. He was telegraphed for last night, Mr. Ducker growing worse, and re? turned to Columbia this morning : Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon no informa? tion had been rtceived from Mr. Bultman as to the condition of Mr. Ducker. fFrom the State, November 21 J One of the most deliberate attempts at self destruction that has occurred in Columbia for years, was made by a young man about thirty years of age, in his room at the Hotel Jerome yesterday morning. The young man js George Ducker, a Charlestonian. He came here previous to the Fair, remained through it, and returning to the hotel on the 15th, h:ts been there ever since. He was a man of means, and a very quiet, gentlemanly and apparently happy man. Monday morning, at 7 o'clock, a pis'ol shot rang through the hotel. A lady in the next room to Mr. Ducker's, beard groans (nut not the shot,) and rang the bell. A porter came and finding it impossible to get into Mr Ducker's door, the lock having the key io it on the inside, he lifted out the transom and went in. The bed prevented him from seeing Mr. Ducker. Once in, he found the unfortunate man in a pool of blood, with blood still gush? ing from the wounds in his forehead. He was still lying on his back on a pallet consisting of ? comfort neatly folded and a pillow. By bis left hand lay a hand-mirror and near his right was a 32-calibre pistol. The porter frightened by.the horrible sight, rushed down stairs A gentleman, learning of some trouble, went to Mr. Ducker's room and found him still alive. Dr. A. N. Talley was summoned and in twenty-five minutes was by his side. He found that the bullet had entered the right temple, glanced around foe eye-socket, severing the optic nerve, and passing through the ball of the left eye buried itself in the wall. The man was found to be in a very critical condition. The physiciao dressed the wound and bound up the poor wilow's head, he all the time asking them to let bim die. He8eemed to be conscious, and muttered a good deal, but it was unintelligible. He was lot removed from the pallet where be had expected to end bis life until in the afternoon. Last night his condition was about the tame as an hour after the shooting. Hopes ivere entertained of his final recovery. Even f he should recovei, however, the sight of )Otb eyes is totally destroyed. From all appearances the attempt was nost deliberate. The young man had spent Sunday afternoon -on the canal, apparently tee from care. At eight he remained in the lotel lobby until ll o'clock writing and batting pleasantly with friends. When his room was entered, a dress suit, t full outfit of underclothing and other hings were found on a chair. To these were lin..ed the following, written in a clear firm tard : "Gentlemen : Dress me in what you find on bis chair. Do what is right and al! will be veil. Yours very truly, "GEORGE DUCKER ." On the table were letters addressed to arioos parties, and this : "NOTICE." "Teleeraph to C. G. Ducker, East Bay treet Charleston ; also to J. H. Ducker, 58 Kiog street ; also to C. F. A. BultmaD, Sumter. Tell Mr. Bultman to come on first rain. Deliver letters to parties when they rrive. Yours very truly, "GEORGE DUCKER." On the edge of this was written : "Yon rill find pocketbook in my trunk containing ?165 instead of $190." There were letters ddressed to Mr. J. H. Ducker, Charleston ; Ir C. G. Ducker, Charleston, and to C. F. L Bultman, Sumter. The letter addressed to the latter was ob ained upon'the arrival of that gentleman. "Dear sir aud kind friend: When you ead this I will have passed away out of this rorld. Allow me to thank you aud your rift/for the many kindnesses you have cott? ered on me during my stay in- Sumter, and hope that both of you will enj-?y life the alance of your days in this world. Kind ?gards to all, and good luck to your son lucius and his prospective wife. Truly ours, "GEO. DUCKER." There was also a letter to Mr. Fagan, the roprietor of the hotel, in which he said : "I have nothing on this earth to live for ny longer. My mistake was made three ears ago wheu I sold my interest in or.e of he fiuest businesses now and at that time D the city of Sumter. I have no family and io one dependent upon me for a living." A letter to another gentleman io the hotel, sked him to see that the instructions for the imposition of his body be carried out in full. The instructions as to telegraphing were trictly carried out, and the poor fellow's datives and friends are now with him. He tried tc secure poison at one of the drug tores in ihe afternoon but it was refused him. [Columbia Cor. News and Courier.J The" most pathetic of all the correspondence s contaiued in th- following letter, which Mr. 3. G. Ducker presented to-night to Tbe News ind Courier : "COLUMBIA, November-,1891 "Dear?Brotber : You will not see me again dive. Do not let thi3 worry you. I owe lotbing to anyone io this world and hope all ny friends and acquaintances may prosper ted do well. I havt-? wri'ten to Brother John ind you will see from that what my desires in .egard to what I leave are. "Dear brother, if Mr. Bultman comes over rom Sumter you and he will decide as to vhere I ?ra to be buried. I prefer Sumter, providing Mr. Bultman can obtain a place here for roe. All this, however. I leave to rou, Johii and Bultmnn. Whatever you do [ am su"e will be satisfactory to John. If rou come to Columbia you will find Dr. Saker a very pleasant gentleman, and I am iure he ?ill assist you and give all informa ioo regarding roy action. After you read he letter to Fagan Bros. you will know why . concluded to end my life. "Let all be forgotten, and don't think of it my more. I leave in my trunk $185 or ?190, for which Fagan Bros. will account for o you. Good-bye to all of you, with hopes rou will see that every thing is done right. I am your brother, GEO. DOCKER. Yesterday afternoon about 5:30 Mr. Seorge Ducker whose premeditated attempt it suicide has been fully detailed, took a urn for the worse after being considered in an mproved condition. At the hour mentioned ie was taken with severe convulsions and Dr Talley was hastily summoned. He has little ?ope of recovery now. The poor fellow in tis agony tried so hard to tear the woundo n his bead that it was found necessary to >!ace bim in a straight jacket. He was last light in the care of a trained nurse and beg? ged hisattendants to give him something to :iil him. State. Nov. 25th The Elfin Stars here next week in an at ractive reportoire of plays.

Carrying of Passengers Resumed. About two weeks ago the Board ol Trade met and appointed a committee to confer with the management of thc Coast Line in reference to the mattel of carrying passengers On the freight trains between Sumter and Florence which had been discontinued by the road and was working to the disad? vantage of our merchants as well as tc the convenience of passengers. The following letter explains itself and our cit}' is to be congratulated on its Board of trade and their efficient com? mittee: WILMINGTON, X. C., Nov. 23,1891. Mr. Abe Rettenberg, Sumter, S. C., DEAR SIR: Your communication of the 13th inst to Mr. T. M. Emerson, Traffic Manager, in regard to carrying passengers on local freight trains was referred to me. I regret very much that my absence has prevented an ear? lier reply to your letter. . The handling of passengers on local freight trains was so unsatisfactory both to the public and ourselves that we felt obliged to discontinue it be? tween Sumter and Florence, particu? larly as we believed that we had sufficient passenger trains or. that part of the road to properly and conven? iently handle the travel. Yon, of course, understand that it is impossi? ble for us to give the same accommo? dations on freight trains that we do on passenger trains. Many passen? gers, however, cannot be convinced of this fact, and in consequence thereof we were flooded with tri val and un? reasonable complaints in regard to the accommodations on our freight trains. I am glad to say that in deference to the wishes of the Chamber of Com merco of Sumter and the request of other committies, we will resume carrying passengers on local freight trains between Sumter and Florence commencing on next Monday, the 30th inst., and we trust the travelling public generally will appreciate the fact that we are doing the very best we can to accommodate them on freight trains, and will cheerfully put up with the inconveniences necessarily incident to that mode of travel.
