Wecail express attention of the city tax payers to the fact that tbe time for making their retcrns expires with this month, and that Thursday of this week is the last day. * Fourth of July Holiday. The merchants of tbis'city, ever distinguish ed, by a liberal spirit, have decided to close their stores on next Monday, July 4th. The clerks appreciate a holiday and the merchants will find that by giving the day they have gained rather than lost. Por the Eye of the City Council. The type written ordinances posted at the Post Office, having been written in analine ink, have been washed out by the recent rains and are now illegible. It is suggested that a new copy be posted for the convenience of those of our citizen? who have not, as yet, made themselves familiar with tbe laws enact ed by tbe new Council. Two Excellent Lectures. Prof. S. B. Craighead, of Wofford College, lectured in the . E. Church, South, on last Thursday evening to a large and intelligent audience. His subject, wa3 "The Press," which he treated analytically and historically. He is an attractive speaker and the manner in wb>eh be presented bis thooghts to his hear ers fixed their attention. On Sunday evening be again spoke in tbe . E. Church, taking this time as his sub ject, "Skeptics, Bigots and Unbelievers." Unfortunately the writer was ooable to at tend, but every one attending spoke io the highest praise of this lecture. Prof. Craig head has made a most favorable impression on tbe people of Sumter and will henceforth bea welcome visitor to the city. Election of Teachers. At a meeting of the Board of School Tras tees ou Monday night the following teachers were elected to serve daring the next school year: \y J. B. Duffie?Soperintendenti/ White School?S. H. Edmunds, Miss M. H. Girardeao, Mrs. L. E. Steinmyer, Miss V. Eloisa Wilson, Miss. Janie M. Mikell, Miss Gertrude Waddill, Miss M. A. Hagbsoo. Lincoln School; J. C. Wbittaker, Miss M. A. Savage Miss J. E. Walker, Miss R. E. Andrews. All of tbe old teachers, with the exception of Miss Ella Davis, were re-elected. Tbe following is self explanatory : On account of tbe recent action of tbe Board of Trustees in failing to re-elect Miss Ella Davis as one of tbe teachers of the Graded School, we feel that her reputation as a teacher will be greatly damaged and therefore feel called upon as members of tbe examieing beard of visitors to endorse her teaching as in every way satisfactory. fffignedJ H. F. Wilson, Ch'm., H. G. Osteen, A. J. Stokes, H. Harby. Is it Partisanship? It is generally conceded that public offices are public trosts and tbe men occupying them should consider themselves public ser vants, placed in office to execute such trusts to the best ot their ability and judgment. We would like to ioqoire, then, if such was tbe feeling of the individual members of tbe School Board at tbe recent election for teachers? Why was it that one of tbe female teachers who bad come bere with the special recommendation of Prof. D. B. Johnston, one of the finest educators in the State, and also bad the recommendation of her super intendent and the support of all of the pat rons of tbe school who were fortunate enough to know her, wa3 deposed? Tbat she was a good and officient teacher cannot be denied, nor can we learn tbat there were any charges against ber. And further, she 13 an orphan, poor and struggling for tbe'daily support of herself and her little orphan brothers nod sisters. These facts make it incumbent opon the Board to show why such a removal should take place without taute. Can they do so? Justice. A Card. Mr. Editor: Why is it the Methodist Church bas no representative among the teachers of the Sumter Graded School ? Wby bave the Commissioners of the School drawn the sec tarian line as they seem to have done? If the children of Methodist pareuts withdraw from this school what would be tbe numerical strength of said school ? Yours for justice. A Patron. - ? ?-?-? ? - The Teachers' Institute. The Sumter County Teachers Institute was brought to a most successful conclusion on last Friday. A large number of teachers were present, and great interest was taken in all tbe exercises. The subjoined resolutions were offered and adopted without a dissenting voice just be fore tbe Institute was dissolved: We, the teachers of Sumter County Institute do hereby heartily endorse the action of our Board of Examiners in holding this Institu? at this place during this week.

Revoked, That as Democrats in mass ? meeting assembled we hail wich en thusiastic pleasure the nomination by the National Democratic Convention under the 2-3d rule, upon 1st ballot, of that true, pure and great Statesman, Grover Cleveland, for President. That all true Democrats will now feel assured that we have a leader who will firmly and boldly stand upon the great principles of the Democratic party, first enunciated by the author of the Declaration of independence,. Thomas .Jefferson?enforced by Madi son and Jackson?demonstrated by Calhoun tobe the only principles on which a free Republic can rest and be perpetuated and beautifully illustrated by Grover Cleveland, t trough his late administration. That we approve and endorse the platform adopted by the Democratic Convention at Chira#o. With such great statesmen as (irover Cleveland and Stevenson standing on so firm a foundation, backed by a Democratic House of Representatives, the people! of this great country need have no more fear of force bills, nor of taxa tion of the poor to enrich trusts and corporations, nor of billion Congress, nor corruption in office, nor of dis graceful blaster about war with a petty republic, but we feel confident that public office will be used only as a public trust for all the people of every class and section, for the great est happiness of the greatest number and the government will be beloved and obeyed at home, and honored and respected abroad. That whatever may be our differen ces of opinion as to men and measures in our ?ocal State allai rs we cannot afford to differ and disagree as to National policy and party principle, but must yield our personal preferen ces and judgments to the will of the majority, and with patriotic love of country unite our -wills and strength to save that country from the thraldom threatened by the Republican party. We desire to put on record an ex pression of our grateful appreciation of the manly and ind?pendant stand taken and maintained by Mr. G. F. Jervey in the Chicago Convention. ~ NOMINATIONS.
