A gre.nd "cake walk," to be held in the Armory ball, sometime next mooth, is spoken of. it will be a novel departure for this city, but the public can take the writer's word for it that for fun the eake walk is a long way ahead of pink tea, cabinet parties, rainbow parties and all the other mile, aud harmless dissipations prevalent io the winter. The eake walk idea is original with the negro of the rural district*, aud be who has not witnessed one of these fetes, as observed by the originators, has yet one hearty laugh reserved for tbe future, if he will but attend the firs: negro cake walk be bears of - --1>- ????-^^ Council Economizes. The City Council held a meeting on Friday night, at which it was decided to curtail ex? penses by reducing the police force two mem? bers-Messrs. Barwick and Nichols, and re? ducing the salaries of Clerk and Treasurer Horst, $12 50, Chief of Po?ice Weeks, $5 00, and Street Commissioner Tribble, $5.00. This was made necessary by the los3 of revenue from liquor licenses amounting to over $5,000 per year, lt is probable that !be levy for taxes, now 10 mills, will, of necessity, have to be increased to enable the city to pay running expenses. The reductions in the salaries will be felt more by the men f?om whom they are taken tbs.n by the taxpayers. It was reported that 8 the Mayor's salary had also been reduced $25 j a month, but that seems to have been a joke, j -? - * A Persistent Thief. j ?j Willliam Hey ward, colored, takes the lead j ^ as a persistent and successful thief. On last t { Friday he offered three terkeys for sale on the I i street, and finally disposed of them to Mr. R. P. Monghan.

He kept them Saturday night and Sunday, but Monday morning they had disappeared, and William j . was on the street with hts three turkeys sell- I ? ing them to Mr. S. F. Flowers. While Mr. f , Flowers was making tbe trade someone who ; j had he*.rd of Mr. Monaghan's loss of three turkeys came up, and iu a few minutes Hey- j j ward was quietly identified, and Mr. Flowers 1 told him be would take him under arrest ! Hey ward made a bre.k for freedom, but was . run t?> earth un de one of the offices on the j Court House Square, by Mr. Flowers and a crowd that came to bis assistance. The thief is now in jail, hut can anyone justly decide to ? whom the turkeys belong ? ! ' Marriages. Married ou Monday, night 23d inst., at the residence of Mr. Horoshy, Lexington, S. C, by Dr. 0. C.

At the present rate ot sales-$3000 per month-the Sumter Dispensary will absorb something over 1000 bales of cotton iua year. If this be taken as a fair-average for the State, $1,296,000 will be spent for liqoor during the year, or the value of nearly 40,000 bales cf cotton, by South Carolina thirst developers. Halve the figures, and they still furnish a frightful exhibit of depraved thirst and wofol waste. This sum would give 1440 preachers each a salary of $900 a year, or 240O school teachers $540 each a year, or par off the State debt in less than five years. How is that for a State that voted for pro* bibition ? The Y. M. C. A Kight Sch??L Applicants for membership will please hand their names to Mr. Geo. Manotte, staling the studies they desire to porsne. Mr. Wilder has consented to teach writing, mathematics and book-keeping, and his salary will be paid by the Y. M. C. A.

In order that the school may begin at once, it is desirable to have the applicants hand in their name? without delay. Au opportunity for obtaining useful knowledge, almost with? out cost, is thus put within easy reach of those wno desire to improve themselves. C. C. BROWN, Chairman Com. - - ^???. mm The Bainbow Party. The young men were out in force at the Rainbow Party Monday evening, and most of them made exhibition of their skill with the needle. The spacious home of Dr. A. J. Cniua was turned over to-the Dorcas Society and guests aud it was filled to overflowing. At the call of time the gentlemen drew the bows that corresponded to the aprons worn by the young ladies, and set to work indus? triously to hem the aprons. Wheo Ute sew? ing waa finished the aprons were submitted to a committee of ladies tq adjudge the merits of the work and award the prizes. After careful consideration, the committee could not decide between Messrs. John Whilden and Dan Young, for first prize, and Louis Lyons and Willie Sanders for the booby. They drew straws and chance declared in favor of Mr. Whilden for first prize, a gold scarf pin, and Willie Sanders for the booby, a paper of needles. The sewing of some of the contest? ants was pronounced ''lovely," and if this be true the public may know that some young men have at least one useful accom? plishment. The net proceeds of the enter? tainment was something more than $20. Attention Sumter Light Infantry. HEAD0.UARTKR3 SUMTER LlGH? INFANTRY. SUMTE?, S. C., Oct. 23, I893-. Order No. 1-Private W.

The following article from the local editor of Columhia Register gives the other side of the question as to-wheth? er Rabbi John Surgius is an impostor or not : * I? the Rock Hill letter to the Jour? nal last Friday it was stated that the above named gentleman was preaching in that town and hereby bangs a tale. On Thursday, September 21, a digni? fied looking personage with a long heavy dark beard, arrived in Columbia. He went to the house of Rev. S. M. Smith and showing him a number of recommendations from well known ministers secured from him a letter of recommendation to Rev. G. A. Black? burn. That evening he went to Rev. Mr. Blackburn's house, where he said he was from Cochin, India, on the Mala? bar coast, and said he was a represen? tative of the tribe of Gad, one of the lost tribes of Israel. He said his tribe, which were Jews, were Christians and had preserved the Gospel in its purity as they had received it from St. Tho? mas, the apostle. He said he was manager of an or? phan institution and a mission, and his church had sent him out to raise money to carry on its work. He was asked for his credentials and he showed a number of letters of re? coil? men dation from such men as Drs. Curry and Dodge and Rev. J. L. Mc Leos of Summerville. S. C. Mr. Black? burn asked him for his original cre? dentials, when he showed a document which he claimed was written in Hebrew, but which was not. Mr. Blackburn could not read the charac? ters and he pulled out what he claim? ed to be a translation of it. This translation was not signed. Mr. Blackburn then asked him why he did not get an endorsement from an English official (India being under British domination), and he said there was no English official there and no English people, as the province of Cochin was an independent province and governed by a Rajah, and there had never been any missionaries there, when the facts were that the city of Cochin ha* 20,000 population, with five English churches, and is second only to Bombay in ship-building. These facts Mr. Blackburn knew, and it was at once evident that the man was an ins poster. More so that this tribe of Christians should have remained there so long and not have been known of. The man said he had been in this country for about eleven months, and when asked how he rame to speak English so well said he had learned it from his wife who was au English missionary. Mr. Blackburn asked him if he had &ver been in Texas, and he was very iimoh surprised at the question, but answered ' yes.v Mr. Blackburn told Iii m he had read an expose of him there several months ago. The man said that was wrong. Mr. Blackburn told him to stay all night and he would see him further next morning. When morning came the man saul lie had to go to Summerville to see his wife and would come bark to Columbia >n Saturday. But he never cann*. He wanted to get permission from he ministers of Columbia to preach md lecture in their churches and raise money. The next heard of the man lie was working the people of Rock Hillas ?tated above. Those ministers who gave him the recommendations must have taken liim on faith, and the private note Kev. S. M. Smith wrote to Mr. Black? burn was based on those recommenda? tions. Mr. Blackburn went further than this and soon discovered the man to ?ie n fraud. He said no one else had ever de? manded his credentials in the manner Mr. Blackburn did. This same man was exposed in the Aiken Times last week. Pass him round. If 3 ou are fond of a nice cup of Tea, buy my high grade Moy une Gunpower, and you will ha?e no other.

In making this, our Annual Fall Announcement, we desire to call particular attention to our HAT STOCK For years we have been making a specialty of this department, and we can safely say that we have never been better prepared than thia season. -OUR STOCK COMPRISES OVER 100 DOZEN SAMPLE HATS of the latest shapes and styles, which we offer AT ONE-HALF REGULAR PRICE. This statement would seem incredulous, but we are prepared to prove it by an examination of onr stock. There are many citizens of Sumter County who are now wearing hals bought from us tico and possibly three years ago AT ONE DOLLAR EACH, Who will bear us out in the assertion thai in some grades they are even less than one-half what they have been paying for the same class of goods. Oar friends seem to apprecaite our efforts in this line, for several days before our stock was received we were having inquiries : 1 *??T?-O Your Ha^ts Come Izx?" And when they did come, before we had an opportunity of assorting and marking them, several dozen were picked out. We would therefore advise friends who wish a CHOICE F?R HAT, either soft or stiff in any shapa AT ONE DOLLAR? To call early and make their selections, as they are going very rapidly. S Clothing Department We are better prepared than usual to give you good value for the money yon wish to invest, from a Boy's Suit at 65c. to a Man's Suit at $25.00. We feel that we can supply your wants. IN OUR Department You will find HONEST VADUE and a complete stock from which to select. We cannot pass over this department without calling attention to our Celebrated Brand of E. P. Reed & Co's. We have had exclusive sale of these goods for five years and we will pay a Beward ?K(\ t0 an.v lady in the county who has ever bought these goods Of from us, and upon failure of the same to give satisfaction that we did not BEFUND HEB MONEY? give a new pair of shoes or make due allowance for the time they were worn. This we are authorized to do by the manufacturers. IN OUR DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT We offer a complete line of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods and DRESS GOODS, with Trimmings to match. We might enter into an enumeration of prices here that would astonish you, but as the STOCK IS SO LARGE and advertising so expensive we merely ask you to call and be convinced. In our Notion Department we Have a Lot of Slightly Soiled Kid Gloves at 25c. pr. pair. This includes some of the celebrated Centemen brands. Our celebrated GLOBE KID, in all shades, every pair warranted, has uo superior. Featherbone Corsets. The lady who desires solid comfort, ought to supply herself with a pair of ihe above brand as soon as possible. The subjoined cuts give only a faint tdea of them. They aro made strictly of feather-bone and sold exclu? sively by us. We have elaborated considerably upon your exterior wants but have said nothing about THE INNER MAN. No matter how poor the crop or how low the price, WE MUST EAT and we were no less particular in pro vidino" for you in this respect than in our other various departments. Flour is Cheap, and we Bought 500 Barrels, So if you Want Rock Bottom Prices See us before buying. We cannot close this appeal to our friends without something to say ABOUT THE COTTON 1USINESS. Our reputation is pretty well established in the market, but we were never better prepared lo handle the fleecy staple than we are this season.
