Os Friday last appeared the Sumter Herald, edited by Mr S.A.Netties of the Manning Times. It bids fair to be a live journal, and we welcome it among oar exchanges, hoping that oar relations with it will be as pleasant as they were always with its forerunner, the Sumter Advance.

With deposits of nearly $91,000 and re-discounts to toe amount of about $15,009. the Simonds National Bank commends itself to the attention of the busi? ness world, as a safe and well managed institution.

The live teacher will not allow the day to pass wim? ont a good lesson impressed upon those under their charge. - -*>?- -? Demand for Houses. We bear that there is quite a demand for bouses of four or five rooms near the nosiness portion of ocr city. In view of this fact it seems that those, who own the number of ra eaot lots to be found so located would con? sider it a good investment to build such houses and thus supply this demand which must be supplied if our city is to grow ss we would bore it grow. Success of the C S. & N. R. R. It is with pleasure that we note from the report of. the earnings of this road that, ?t?feongh the same mileage bas been operated (this year as inst year, yet it has managed lo ??orease its earnings over that of last year. 'In 1891 the earnings of this road amounted to $9,721.86, while in 1892 the amouat is $11, '306.88-an increase of $1,480 02. The C. S.?S. bas done much for our city .and as a consequence we are pleased that its -earnings ace increasing and hope that such will continue to be the case. It is Natural. Daring the past summer a number of fam? ilies baye moved into our city for the ed ?ca? tion of their children. This i3 an evidence of the good to be derived by the city from her Graded Schools and other institutions of learning in her midst* With a graded school system ?ecood to none in the State and two famaie institutes that will compare favorably with any of the kiod in the State, our growing city le claiming ?be attention and patronage of both county and State.

The family of Mr. Bennett have ar? rived in the city in a special car in which the bridal party will retnni to New York for a short visit. Miss Clem has long been one of Sumter's most charming and popular young ladies and she will be much missed in the social circles of our city Death. On the 5th inst at Bishopville occurred the sad death of Mrs. Daniel Munn, who leaves a husband and several small children to mourn ber los3. Io this city on Friday last Capt. Jas. D. Mcilwaine, an ?ged and useful citizen, de? parted this life after several months of great suffering. He was a native of Lancaster Couuiy, where he resided until a few years after the war, when he took up his abode mao og us. By reason of bis accuracy in surveying, his services have been continually in demand up to the time of his failure in health a few months ago. He died at the advanced age of eighty years, leaving a son and two dauggters, to whom we extend our sympathies. At the home of his nephew. Mr. G. H. Curtis, at pHcksville, Mr. Curtis, an uncle of Messrs. Horace and Charlie Curtis of this city, departed this life at an advanced age. His remains were brought here yesterday and interred in our city cemetery, the Rev. Mr ; Hansel! of the Episcopal Church officiating. Church Entertainment. The Ladies' Aid Society, of St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church, ofSumter, will give an oyster supper aod ice cream festival, at the armory of the Sumter Light Infantry, on Thursday evening, Oct. 13, for the pur? pose of aiding in the erection of a Chapel. The publicare cordially invited to aid in this laudable object. The festival will begin at t> o'clock, P. M. Music by 4th Regiment Band. MRS. J. F. LAUGHERY, MRS. C. F. A. Bu LT M AN. The Colored Fair. This important enterprise of our colored friends was opened on Monday last with a large exhibit in every department. Thursday and Friday will be the most im? portant days-when it is expected that the fair will ne numerously attended. Every colored person tn this county particularly should lend encouragement to this enterprise of their race by attending it on Thursday and Friday. A goodly number of o^r white citizens will j attend, and thus show our colored friends that I we admire their posh and enterprise. Tonight President H. F. Wilson of the Sumter Female Institute will deliver an address to those in attendance ou the fair. We return thanks to Z. E. Walker, one of the directors, for a season ticket. An Unusual Taste of a Swine. A few days ago in the yard of Mr. Deveanx Moore oo Church Street, there was a startling occurrence and what might have proven a roost fearful death, lt seems that two of Mr. Moore's infant children were ?tit alone in the baby carriage for a few moments. A hog kept by Mr. Moore seeing the children with? out protection, approached the carriage and, seizing o?e of the children by the clothing, dragged it from the carriage and ran with the little thing under the bouse. The father bearing the cries of toe child rushed to the assistance of the babe, and found the beast in the act of eating it. For? tunately help came in time to prevent any in? jury being done to the little one. The ani? mal bas beeu disposed of by Mr. Moore. At times this animal proves very dangerous and therefore care should be taken to guard against any accidents of the kind related aoove. The death of a child from au attack made upon it by such a beast would indeed be fearful. - -?????? Leap Year Hop. The young men of the city have quite a treat ahead of them tn the way of a Leap Year Hop to be given them by the young ladies of the city at Armory Hali on Tuesday i evening, the 18th inst. Cnstom has decreed that once every four years the gentler sex without impropriety ma\ return the courtesies shown them at all times by their gentlemen friends. Such being the case the young ladies of the city will do the honors to their favor? ites among the young gentlemen. Daily among the young men one ean hear them in? quiring within themselves whether they wUl Oe honored by her whom tbey bave so Ung sought to impress. Each young dancer flat? ters himself that his time of reward is near at band. Io any event we wager that no young man will be found to adopt for excuse a pre? vious engagement. Don't be too uneasy, boys! All of you who are not so fortunate as to have secured an escort can go en matttc for the protection of each other. Once in the hall you may sud? denly become favorites in the dance, or, what might be more flattering, be honored with the positions of adorning the walls and thus be the objects cf undivided attention. Yon should be encouraged by the fact that you are all invited to attend the hop whether you are to be accompanied by a young lady or ant. This we are authorized to say to you by the committees in charge. On this occasion Misses Virginia Moses, Lena Solomons and Emmie Alike!? will con stitote the reception committee, and, as such, will do all in their power to make the bashful youog men feel free and important. The floor committee will consist of Misses Lily Delgar, Nina Moise and Belle Sanders, under whose management we feel assured there will be nothing to mar the pleasure of the most bashful young man. - iM. II . ? + ^? - Mr. E. G. DuBose Shot At. We team from Mr. E. G. DuBose of Clar? endon County that on Saturday the 1st inst, he was accosted by Mr. Fant Stukes near the point where the former's son, Mr. Butler Du? Bose was murdered last March. It will be remembered that in June la3t, at Manning Messrs. J. Carson Stukes and Fant Stukes were tried and acquitted for this murder. On the occasion first mentioned Mr. Fant Stukes overtook Mr. E. G DuBose and his grandson Fleetwood and as he passed fired six times at Mr. DuBose, none of theshot3 however taking effpct. Mr. Stukes rode rapidly away. So far as we have learned no warrant has been issued by ,\Jr. DuBose for bis assailant. Mr. DuBose is a one-armed man and we congrat? ulate hint on his narrow escape. Mr. Stukes has published in the News and Courier a denial of the above statement of Mr. DuBo3c. He claims that he fired off his pistol in an opposite direction when about three hundred yards ahead of Mr. DuBose. - - - i- i They Wanted Money. As Mr. LeGrand Joje was returning to his home on Thursday night last, about nine o'clock, he was accosted by a white man on Washington Street who demanded money. Mr. Joye not appreciating sucfi a recognition of the lact that he was doing a thriving busi? ness in the city, reminded the gentlemen that lt was just such flatterers as he that some? times get punctured by conical shaped pieces of lead, at the same time suiting his actions to bl* words. Immediately an apology was given ana 'he mao swiftly took to his heels. Also on ttie 5th inst., Wm. McDuffie, about nineteen years ot age, son of Sandy McDuffie, (colored) was stopped near the poor house by two negro men, one of whom drew a pistol on him while his associate cut opea bis* Docket and took ther^?rosi fifteen dollars. ?cD?'ffie is unable to identify either of the parties. The party of whom mention was made id our last issue as having been robbed of thirty five dollars io the public road near the poor house, was one Rush Kennedy of the Mecban icsville neighborhood. It seem? that our County Commissioners might have found the neighborhood of the poor house the proper place for our new jnil, judging from what has occurred there in the past few days.

At eleven o'clock on Friday morning- Judge Kershaw adjourned the court until Saturday morning, when the motion for a new trial in the case of the State us. J no. R. Keels (Cou? sar case) was heard. The motion was refused ?nd Mr. Keels was accordingly seutenced to one year impris anment in the State Renitentiary. Notice of intention to appeal was i ra medi? ately given by conusel for defense, and there? upon an order was granted staying judgment rf the court pending the appeal. The jefendaot was then released from custody by entering into a $1,000 bond, which was done without trouble. The Court of General Sessions adjourned so Saturday afternoon, sud the jurors iischarged for the term. On Monday morning tbe Court of Common Pleas was called, bot owing to the condition rf the presiding judge, it was adjourned over until Tuesday morniug, when the Bar occupied the attention of the Court hr a few hours, taking out orders in default cases and attend? ing to such matters as could be attended to without contest. On account of the continued indisposition of Judge Kershaw, the Bar declined to give him any further work at this time. With a few appropriate and feeling remarks ftom the presiding judge as to his de? clining health and the consideration shown bim by the Bar, the Court of Common Pleas adjourned for the term on Tuesday afternoon. --m*- ? II - Successful Effort. The musical soiree under the management rf Mrs. John Kershaw, at the Academy of Music ta this city on Thursday evening last, was a decided success, as are all such enter? tainment* when under that competent man? agement. The audience was large and appre? ciative and made to again recognize the fact that our city is peculiarly gifted in musical talent both vocal and instrumental. The management was fortunate in securing as a support to eur home talent the services of Mr. Ambrose E. Gonaales, of Columbia, who sus? tained fully the reputation he has won for himself io such entertainments in our Capital City and elsewhere in the State. Our home talent on this occasion consisted of Mrs. Henry J. Harbv, Mrs. Jno. Kershaw, Mrs. E. E. Remberf, Mrs. M. Levi, Miss V. M. Girardeau and Messrs. Bennet, Bultmao, Hood and Wilder. Mrs. Henry J. Harby carried away the au? dience with her sweet and cultivated voice, and was welt sustained by Mrs. ?? Levi and Miss Girardeau "Lucios" was at his best and well supported by Messrs. Bennett, Hood ind Wilder. The instrumental renditions of Mrs. Ker? shaw, Mrs. Remnert and Miss Girardeau were much appreciated. The audience did not lose the opportunity rf showing their appreciation of our home talent, as was evidenced by the liberal ap? plause given to each of them at the conclusion rf their several efforts. Mr. Gonzales was encored to such an ex? tent at tbe conclusion of his ?rst soto, that be was forced to favor the audience with a second. During the evening he was per? suadid to favor the audience with the "Ser? mon of Parson Kinloch," in the dialect of the low country negro. It WHS a decided hit and ?onvinced the audience tnat he could "specify," even if the lady love of the "par ion" couldn't. During the rendition of this piece the applause was so great at times that Mr. Gonzales coa ld not be heard; and at its :lose cheer followed cheer, outil be returned to favor his admirers with the speech of tbe "Gentleman from Mount Pleasant Precinct in the Berkeley County Convention" in -.e same amusing dialect. During this delivery the compliments of the season were paid to George W. Murray, the colored candidate for Congress in the 7th district. A great addition to the entertainment was the part performed by the Fourth Regiment Band Orchestra, that never fails to secure a complete hit with its delightful music. The entire program was a complete success, ill the participants doing honor to tbe repa talion of our henuiifui eily for musical talent rf the first order. As the object of thia en? tertainment was a charitable one, we truit 'hat the manager, Mrs. Kershaw, feels fully repaid for all ber labor ID giving to the city such a treat. -^t? i ? - A Card. Mr. Editor : Please allow us space to ac? knowledge our heartfelt gatitude to the people rf Sumter, and County as well, for the spoo L* neo us Sow of sympathy manifested in our behalf, also for the sustaining prayers offered when we were passing through deep waters of affliction in consequence of ibe wounding and suffering of our boy. W. P. SMITH AND FAMILY. Do Figures Lie. Mr. Editor: Figures beg that yon will give them a bearing in the ease of two norato who, as stated in your last issue October 5, Bold 30 chickens each, one selling hers 3 for SI the other selling hers 2 for $1 and the mer? chants who were asked to divide tbe proceeds said : You sold your 30 chickens three for a dollar and you sold your 30 chickens two for a dollar, making 60 chickens sold at the rate of 5 chickens for two dollars which gives you $24 to be divided between you. Now Figures say that only 50 chickens were sold at the rate of 5 for two dollars and that the remaining ten were sold 2 for a dollar. Therefore they assert that it was w * they (Figures) but the merchants who lied. Yours Figuratively, MAT MATICKS. Stateburg, Oct. 7, 1892. Charleston's Gala Week. It Will De a Magnificent One and Surpats Anything Yet Given. Charleston, S. C., Oct. 7-In October, 1887, the year after the great earthquake, merchants and business men of Charleston instituted a gala week, a celebratioo commemorative of gratitude for the preservation of the city from total destructioo and the gen? erous aid extended it by the people of the entire nation. The money necessary for paying the expenses was raised by voluntary subscriptions and contribu? tions and the people were invited from all over the South and North to come here and spend a week, railroads and steamship companies giving reduced rates. The festival was kept up year after year and has now become a permanent institution. It will occur this year October 31 to November 5, and arrange? ments have been made for a grand carnival. Among the attractions will be an exact reproduction of the great bombard? ment of Fort Sumter by the federal fleet of monitors,Jin April, 1863. This will take place in the harbor at the entrance of which the grim old fortress stands. The committee in charge of the carnival have offered three cash prizes of $1,000, $500 and $200 respectively for the best historical or allegorical u;?play in the grand pageant to be held on 'Wednesday, November 2. Entries open to the Uni^-d States.

Loeb, : secretary, David Goodman, chairman j executive committee. ' ?&ifo? ?tems. S?LOEf, S. C., Oct. ?, 1892. Ou last Friday evening about du??k dark, Dr. T. R. McElveen, armed with a Winches? ter rifle, was comfortably {f) seated in an old oak treeon the Westside of Dyal's Bay, await ine the return of the bear to the spot where it had played such havoc with the corn the night before. A fier remaining in this posi? tion about two hours he heard a noise like some heavy hody pressing its way through the dense growth near hy, and in a few sec? onds, closely watching in the direction of the noise, he SHW emerging from the bay a dark ot ject. It paused a moment and then ad* vanced slowly toward the tree in which he was partially concealed. Cautiously leveling bis rifle to his shoulder, he fired and down fell the bear (as it proved to be.) Feeling satisfied thnt the bear was dead or dying, the Doctor descended and walked a few paces toward the bear when to his as? tonishment, it recovered from the shock, and with a terrific growl, rising on its bind legs, came toward bim. He attempted to shoot a again but his rifle failed to fire, and a second attempt with same result. By this time a hand to hand encounter seemed inevitable, but the Doctor by retreating a few steps raan Hged to get aim again, and this time felled the hear to the ground, and continued the fire until tb? hear ceased to move. Dr. McElveen was all alone, but a neighbor living about a half-mile off, bearing the rapid firing, suspected the cause, and was soon to bis assistance. The bear's hide can be seen at Shiloh P. 0. by "doubting Thomases." The Doctor, with others, has been back several times since the killing, hoping to get another shot, but so far failed. They, however, b?ard the other bear, but it did not come in sight. Mr. ?Too. K. McElveen tells us that "while sitting in a tree on Monday night last, watch? ing for the bears, three large raccoons parsed in a few feet of the tree be was in, and that he came n*?r firing on them for cubs." Won? derful indeed tbat he, under the circumstances could distinguish a coon from a cow. Mrs. Gamble, we are glad to report, is con? valescent. Some needed and valuable repairs have re? cently been made on our church in this place. Our school will open on the 17th instant, instead of the 10th. We are glad to see so many of our farmers raising their own sugar and syrup. Let's raise our flour and meat too ; yes, everything we consume, il possible. AGRICOLA. Smithville Items. SMTHVILLK, S C., Oct. 8th, 1892 Mr. Editor: We hear that a serious injustice wa* done a very worthy creature on account of an error in our last items, so we make haste to correct it. We stated that Dr. Ostaen's horse ran away, but we are glad to learn that our informant was mistaken and that the hors?, which on acconnt of its gentle? ness was U fi without being tied, only wan? dered a few yards and was stopped by the buggy becoming fastened. The horse was fascinated br the beautiful herbage while bis muster was detained longer than usual on one of his calls. The shafts of the buggy were broken by being wrenched around the tree against which the wheel was caught and not through any vicion-ness of the horse. Mr. J. E. Bar6eld had the misfortune to lose his dwelling bouse with most of its con? tents by fire on Inst Thursday evening, sup? posed to be caused by the explosion of a lamp. All the family were away with the exception of Mrs. Barfield who was in the yard, and hearing a slight noise at the bouse, turned and saw the room, in which was the lamp, in a blaze. Assistance soon came but too late for anything but to sa?e Mr. Bar field's horse. The mass meeting held on last Thursday was largely attended and a good impression was made on the minds of the people by the elegant speeches on education rendered by Rev. J B. Hollev and Mr. W. A. Massabeau. Rev. J. B. Holley filled the pulpit at St. John's M. E. Church on'last Sunday and treated us to as fine a sermon as we have ever heard delivered by a young roan. The Smithville High School opened on Mon? day under most favorable circumstances and we predict for it a great success with Mr. Holley as principal. Rev. J. Walter Keneny closed his work at the Pisgah Baptist Church on last Sunday week with a very fine sermon and left on the following Thursday to attend the Theologi? cal Seminary at Louisville. Mr. Kenney was much beloved by bis people here and it is with regret wc see him leave. Mr. B. M. Roberson left on Saturday for W otford. Miss Lena Kirkley is spending awhile with friends at Stokes' Bridge. Mr. B. D. Colclough bas returned to col? lege at Clinton. Dr. S. C. C.
