It is fortunate for Mr. Bradham that he happened to go out just at that sime. tu m ? < mmm The- Superior Caucasian. The Caucasian is superior to the Ethiopian, in every respect, and it is ouJy necessary for a , representative.of the fo;mer race to make-the effort to furnish indubitable proof of- the troth ?f the assertion. It is- generally con ceded that Cunee is an accomplished* petty thief, but on Monday & white man proved, his superiority in this respect and didn't stem io half try ekher. ft happened* in this wise:. A negro had bis mule bitcbtd ia the -Masonic Temple lot, and was getting ready to leave town late- in : lie afternoon. H**vmg alieady placed the saddle on his mule was standing talking to some of his cronies as is Cuffee's? habit, when the white man in ques tion approached and after examining the saddle inquired wbo owned it. After re ceiving the desired information, he remained standing near the mule, ai.d-, while the negro owner was busily engaged in explain ing the abstruse points of the emancipation proclamation celebration oration, be coolly threw the stirrups across the saddle, took it from the mule's back and walked away. When the explanation was concluded the white mnn had disappeared and the saddle went with him, The negro was left lament ing, "exspechully 'case dat saddle been a borrowed or?e" and he ent neber been parshul to ridin. base back do how " ? - mm ?? The Eire Fiend Agaia. For the third time within two months the people who live in the vicuiity of Mr. Calvin Chandler'9 p'anta?io?r have been treated to some of the work of a veritable fire fiend.

When discovered the fire had made so much headway it was useless to attempt to sav* anything. It was certaiuiy the work of au incendiary as no fire had been about the building. Iiis loss was &bo*t $2,000;. insurance $1100. City Clerk aad Treasurer is attending to his duties with his broken arm in a sling. Being unable to write be bas an amanuensis to assist him.

We refer onr readers to the Quarterly Statement of the Bank of Sumter which is published today. Its large deposit account is proof of the confidence felt by the people of Sumter in this Bank as the custodian ot their money, whiie its very creditable profit ac count is evidence that its afftirs are well managed. Its loans the past year have aggre gated more than half a million dollars. Since the opening of the cotton season it bus cashed or credited cotton drafts to the amount of $610,000. Un one day?the largest possi bly that Sumter has ever had in that line?it sent off drafts for one thousand bales. It has also done a large business in lumber, staves and tie drafts The new \ear opens with prospecteuf increased activity beneficial alike to its customers and stockholders. Plenty of Money. The sptcial statement of ?he condition of the Slmonds National Bank at the close of butftoeitf on Dec. 31s? is the best that the bank has made >ince there have been two banks in the city. The deport account, ?144.748 is the largest the bank has bud ; and the net available assets of over $90 000 is a guaran tee of the truth of the assertion, made by the officers of the bank, that they are ready to meet and supply all demands for money, when the collateral offered is satisfactory. When the banks have an abundance of money, the outlook is bright for the country, and the year 1893 opens under a great deal more propitious auspices than did 1892. Musical Entertainment. In order to assist in raising a fund suffi cient for erecting a lecture reom or assembly hall for religions purposes, the Daughters in Israel (Circle No 1) will give an entertaiti ment on Tuesday evening, January 10, at 8 o'clock.

Pringle'e well known taste, with recitations and vocal and instrumental music by some of our local favorites The price of admission will be low so as to be within reach of ail, general admission 25c, reserved seats 35c, and it is hoped that the attendance will be large in consideration of the well known liberality of onr Jewish friends in helping all denominations ou similar occasions. Mayor's Court There were two prisoners before the Mayor's Court on Tuesday morning?a very light docket, considering the large crowd in town the previous day and the enthusiasm engen dered by the emancipation celebration. Jimmie Dargan was charged with disorder ly conduct and carrying concealed weapons. Plead guilty was fined $25 or 30 days on the Street. Albert Dargan was taken up for disorderly con Jt'ct aod public drunkenness. Plead guil ty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $2 or work on the streets for four days. Taxes?State, County and City. Treasurer Keels informs us that more taxes have been paid up to date than at this time last year. The Sooth Carolina Railway has paid its ta ves with the exception of about $800. The & laOtic Coast Line has also paid its taxe* except aboat $800. Both were given receipts on account by Treasurer Keels. The Charles ton, Sumter and Northern R. R. has not paid its taxes.

Purdy, Esq , City Attorney, thiit licenses, for the sale of liquor, could be j? testied only until June 3oth, at whieb time j! the licenses can be extended for the remainder t of the year, should the conrts in the inter- [ vai, bave decided that the Evans law is of no force.

Gallagher k Bro., H. Manheim, Frank O'Donnell. All of these bars have paid the County Treasurer $50 for a half ye?trly license until June 30th, the county officials baviag taken the same view of the law as the city eouneii. There are 9ix licensed bars his year, in place of ten last year?Kahn, 2L ?. Walker, lseman, and one of Strauss k Weinberg's bars have been discontinued. The total income, derived by the city tor liquor licenses, last year was $5,600, while tbe income in sight for this year, fiom tbe same source, is 1,800.
