proved that the C. S. & N. engine maje the j

were at fault. The verdict clearly and de- !

COD cert.
The concert of the 4th Regiment Band OJ I
Monday evening was a success. Tbe people
ot thi3 city take a ju3t pride ia the rjtvod and j
their entertainments are always well patron- j
ized ; and never yet have the boys disappoint- j
ed their expectant friends. The nail was j
filled to its utmost capacity, and the applause j
that greeted every number of the program
was not due to the efforts of a few sympa?
thetic or appreciative friend?, but was the en
thusiatt c outburst of the whole audience.
The ball is not well adapted to musical !
entertainments, aod had the acoustic proper- ?
ties been good, the efforts of the perform irs !
would undoubtedly have been more sitisftc- !
tory to both the musicians and the auditors, i
As it was the latter were well-pleased.
Mr. Bennett's recitation and song were as j
good as any with which he h*s ever f'avurrd a
Sumter audience, which is saying m;ich in
bis praise.
The cornet solo by Mr. Kendrick Wilder
and the pic?lo solo by Mr. A. L. Moise were i
especially good.
The quintette-M?sars John, and W. Moran, j
Moise, Wiou and Marshall-rendered several !
delightful selections Mr. John Moran's I
handling of the mandolin is a delight to those
who love music.
The events of the evening were the song by
Slr. Ambrose E. Gonzales and his dialect
selections. He has a magnificent and tune?
ful voice, and after the first selection the au?
dience would not be satisfied until he return
ed and sang again. The dialect sketches of
rice-field negro life, were '.rue tc life. He
seemstohavecaught not only the oegroe's ;
dialect and intonations, but his very traia of j
thought. When it comes to mimicing the j
rice field negro he can certainly specify, j
There were a number of the audience who
were raised in the land of the Gullah dialect, i
aod Mr- Gonzales did more for them, than j
he knew, for by closing their eyes they were
transported over time and space to the happy
aa vs of youth and childhood before the war. j

Cleveland's Cabinet
LAKEWOOD, N. J., February 14-Cleveland

On making this announcement Cleveland
said : 4 "There ia no need of any mystery in

speculate and indulge in guess work. ? shall
make no recret of the matter, bat shn!l an?

acce;>ta?:res and permission to make the mat?
ter public."
develing would say nothing in regard to
the other positions or the men who have been
mentioned in connection with them. It is
evident that Hoke Smith, Hilary A. Herbert
and others who have been mentioned are still
under consideration. A conference, which
will probably settle Hoke Smith's chances one
wnv or the other, will tie held at Cleveland's
office in New York pome day this week. Sen?

the State?
COLUMBIA, February 12.-It really looks aa
if the woods are going to be full of lightning
rod3 waiting for the Gubernatorial nomi?
nation to strike them. Almost every day
I hear of some new candidate who would
like to bear the burdens office, and really
there will be no lack of "would-be's." For
the preseut all of the rods are coming from
the "Reform store," and the purchasers from
that store ought to be pleased with the multi?
tude of candidates. The lightning rods
which are waiting to be struck, according to
popular rumor, will have a variety of brands.
Some will be of the sub-treaSuryAlliance
style, others will be fashioned after a more
conservative style, some will be guaranteed to
keep up dispensary laws, other- to patch it
up, ene to represent anti-sub-treasury views.
Now, of coarse, everybody knows that
because a man's name is mentioned iu
connection with an office it does not neces?
sarily follow "that he can get it, or in other
words, if t:ie lightning will strike him.
There are some of theta waiting for the
stroke, and unfortunately for their hopes it
can't strike more than one place every two
years.
There is no intention to slight anyone who
is expecting an offer, so if anyone is left out a
two-cent stamp and a letter addressed to the
Bureau will rectify the uninteniooal error.
So far as political chat goes the possible en?
tries from the Reform side are:
Secretary of State Tindal, who is said to
be a prime favorite with the Administration,
is, looked upon as a good man, one combining
certain liberal ideas that would tend lo
conciliate certain factions.
Senator John Gary Evans is wanted by some
of the orthodox Tillmanites, who want an ag?
gressive fighter and a champion of the dispen?
sary bili.
Congressman George D. Tillman ?3 said to
have a great many friends who want to see
him elected Governor. They say that be's a
{isuie winner."
Senator W D. Evans is reported to be in
the field, not?as an active candidate,.but one
who bas no scruples against accepting the
nomination and making a fight.
Chairman M. L. Donaldson is thought to be
in the race, if be is not struck with a good
Federal position.
State Treasurer Bate's name has been men?
tioned in connection with the Gubernatorial
office. His candidacy would be recognized
and more generally acceptable than that of
many others.
Comptroller General Ellerbe's name has
been presented by some Pee Dee eothuiasts.
It said that be is not in any race, on ac?
count of his health.
Adjt Gen Farely is said to have some aspi?
rations to succeed Governor Tillman.
Editor Gantt has found a candidate io
Spartanburg, a Mr. L. F Walker, who is in
tetested in the ' Headlight."
It will seen that the Reform element will
find pleaty of material.-News and Courier.

No other preparation offered as Castoria is

Dr. Pitcher's Castoria has become a valuable

anything else on the plea or promise that it
is "just as good," and will answer every

Do not be deceived when you buy if, but
look well at wrapper and see if it has the

No other can be genuine. Castoria without
this Signature is a Base Fraud.
