The Slip of a Figure. .There was a slight clerical error in the Statement of the Bank of Sumter, as pub? lished last week. Tbe item "Undivided Pro nts" should have been $17,570.73 instead of $15,570.73. The mistake made a difference -of $2,000 in tbe item mentioned, but the .footing of tbe column was what the correct statement would have made it. Tbe state? ment is republished to-day with the correction made. S i monds National Bank. The report of this Bank having been called for by tbe Comptroller of the Currency, for Oct. 3rd, 1893, the report is made of that date.

This is an excellent showing for the bank, manifesting tbe conservative character of its dealings, and the care with which its loans and discounts are made. These amount to $163,158,16. In National Banks it is not known when a .tatemeni ts to be called for, and hence the call maj come at a time when the showing is not so good as a tew days before or after it would be.

In trying to walk or leap from one pair of scales to the other, the scales were upset and he fell, striking the stapf of the School Com? missioner's office.

Ferguson, A geni, baa canvassed this city, and issued tickets tQ.-person8 who paid him fifty cents each, agreeing to furnish a crayon portrait free to ticket holders who will have same framed, at his studio. The studio ts not located, but be represented that P. Sin? clair's Art Gallery is the agency in Sumter. Mr. Sinclair allowed the tickets to be issued with bis name, but, upon investigation is satisfied that the whole thing is a fraud. Mr. Ferguson, however, has collected the 50 cents each and gone on to other pastures green. He said be was going to Florence and Darlington from here. Criminal Carelessness. Doc Davis, a colored boy about grown, was sentenced yesterday to 30 days imprison? ment in jail, by Trial Justice Mauning, fer shooting little Willie Dunn with a parlor rifle last Wednesday. The boy was arrested first by the police, but Mayor Pierson decided to turn the case, over to the Trial Justice, on the gruuna that the extent of the punishment be could' impose was, iir his judgment, insufficient. lt waa doubtful if it was a malicious shoot? ing, for there bad been uo quarrel, but as a piece of criminal carelessness with fire arms, the act richly deserved to be punished. Mr. Dunn's two boys, Willie and George, and Frank Lynam were playing with the rifle when Doc Davis came along, took the rifle rom Frank Lynum, aud saying to Willie Dunn, "I am going to shoot you," pulled trigger and shot Willie in the thigh. The aa 11 was probed for, but was not extracted. Willie is doing weil, however, and is up and Dut again. ---? ? ?. - ll I will exchauge milk cows for beef cattle. Eugene Hogan. T. C.

Duffie and H. G Osteeo of the committee aopointed to investigate and, if practicable, establish a night school under the direction of the Y. M. C. A meet in the Reading Room of the Association on last Thursday afternoon. The question was discussed, and it was decided that the school should be established, provided a sufficient number of persons should indicate their intention to atteud. It was found that sufficient funds were in sight to permit the employment ol a teacher at $20 per month. Rev. C. C. Brown was appointed commitee to ascertain whether &r. J. D. Wilder could be employed to teach a night school for a salary of $20.00 per month. It was decided also that 1. School shall bein session three nights each week. 2. Book-keeping, arithmetic and penman? ship shall be taught. 3. All members of the Y. M. C. A. Asso? ciation may at Hen d the school. 4. A fee of one dollar per month shall be paid io advance by all attendants. This fee shall be used, to defray current expenses of the school, such-as lighting, beating, etc. 5. Persons not members of the Association may attend school-noon payment of $2.00 per month ; payment of fee being required monthly in advance. 6 Three consecutive absences without satisfactory excuse will debar students from classes. 7 School shall not open unless there are at least ten applicants. 8. The school shall open atas early a date as practicable. 9. The teacher shall keep a record of attendance, progress, etc, and report at stated intervals to the Association. The Committee adjourned subject to call of the chairman. It now remains with those for whose benefit this school is proposed to be established to say whether it shall succeed, or not. That the school is needed, and that there are large num? bers in this city who are in actual need of the instruction offered them is indisputable. The fee charged should deter no one, but if there are any who cannot pay it, there are persons ia this city who will see that they obtain the benefit of the school upon being satisfied in regard to this inability. "Progressive Jenkins" Party. The "Progessive Jenkins party" which was to have been given by the Daughters in Israel, Circle No. 1, but which was delayed on ac? count of the inclement weather, is now ap? pointed for Tuesday evening, Oct. 17th, at 8 o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. R.
