A Petition.
The following petition to the General
Assembly is now being circulated for sign??
mes in this city :
"We the undersigned citizens of the City
f Sumter respectfully ask your Honorable
(ody to amend the School Law of the said
Sty of Somter in such a manner that the
itizens thereof may be allowed to elect the
ichool Commissioners of the School District
hereof for the reason that the law as it now
tands makes the Board of School Commis?

ens no voice whatever in the management
fiereof."

The Haynsworth Family.
IQ an article to the Awi and Courier, Mr.
McDonald Forman of this county says :
"Mr. J. 0. Prude, of Alabama, is com?
piling a history of the Hayn?.worth family
and its collateral branches, which he intends
to publish in a handsomely bound volume.
For seven years he has been preparing this
genealogical work, but at first without a
view of publication. He will trace the
history of the family as a people as far back
as the Christian era. In our own State this
family is an old and honorable one. Its
founder, Richard Hayoswortb, was a colonial
settler. The most prominent member of the
family at present is Major William F. B.
Haynsworty, president of the Sumter Bank,
and an honored member of the Sumier Bar.
His brother, the lamented George E. Hains?
worth, will be remembered as having fired the
first gun of the Confederate War. He WHS a
Citadel graduate, and in his complete and
scholarly history of that institution Col.
Pey re Thomas has given us an apjreciative
sketch of Mr G.-E. Haynsworth. Ex-Attor?
ney General J. H. Earle, of Greenville, and
Mr. William H. Ly les. of Columbi?, both
prominent Carolina lawyers, are descendants
of the Haynsworth family."
Who Can Beat This?
Mr. H. H. Evans, of Smithville, butchered
a calf last week only eleven months old which
weighed 400 pounds cet. Can any one beat
that? We asked Mr. Evans bow he managed
to raise such a fine calf His answer was that
he fed it-gave it all it wanted to eat. And
therein lies, in great measure, the secret
of raising fine stock-feeding well.- Wateree
Messenger.

?n Interesting Incident.
The following incident in the trial of
Sullivan, at Anderson, for the murder of
Gilreath, at Greenville will doubtless in?
terest our readers." We copy from the People's
Advocate :
"At the very inception of the case the
court and the" spectators present witness?
ed one of the finest intellectual tilts be?
tween Judge Melton and Dr. J. Thomas
Pate, the pastor of the Methodist Church
iu Greenville, that has been witnessed in
the Court House io many a day. One
looking on was reminded of the
gladiatorial contests of the ancient* and
could almost see the sparks fly as the
keen thrusts and parries followed in rapid
succession.- With a. very little stretch of
the imagination one could see the bright
gleaming of the blades as each nerved
himself to receive or give the stroke and
for an hour or more a rare intellectual
treat was afforded which was greatly en?
joyed by judge, jury, lawyers and spec?
tators. For one iiu?e in his life, Judge
Melton found his match in a witness with
a well trained brain and a nerve as im?
passive a3 steel, and he retired from the
contest somewhat discomfit ted and with
the remark "you a pretty good lawyer as
well as a preacher." The spectators appeared
to be ip full sympathy with the preacher,
for it is so seldom that they have seen a
witness on the stand 8uc*esfully withstand
the badgering of a lawyer and come off with
flying colors, and this Dr. Pate did. It was
a subject of universal remark on the streets
that "the array of witnesses brought for?
ward by the State was remarkable for
character and intelligence and that the
chain of testimony thrown around the
defendant was strong in every link and
that it would be a difficult matter to
break through it. The line of defence
adopted was to show a case of self-de?
fence and for this purpose the main re?
liance seemed to be a note written by
Mr. Gilreath and sent to Mr. Sullivan on
the morning of the killing and Mr. Sullivan's
own testimony."
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 3.-The President to?
day issued the following Thanksgiving proc?
lamation :
By the President of the United States of
America. A Proclamation.
While the American people should every
day remember with praise and thanks?
giving the divine goodness and metcy
which have followed them since their be?
ginning as a nation, it is fitting that one
day in each 3ear should be especially de?
voted to the contemplation of the blessing
we have received from the hand of God
and to the grateful acknowledgment of His
loving kindness.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President
of the United States, do hereby designate
arri J set apart Thursday, the 3o th day of
the present, month of November, as a day
of thanksgiving and praise to be kept and
observed by ail the people of our land. On
that day let us forego our ordinary work
aud employments and assemble in our usual
places of worship where we may recall
ali that God has done for us and whete
from grateful hearts our uuitrd tribute of
praise and song may reach the throne of
grace. Let the reunion of kindred and of
friends lend cheer and enjoyment to the duty
and let the geuerous gifts of charily for the re?
lief of the poor and weedy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving.

? Fall 1893. i
In making this, our Annual Fall Announcement, we desire to
call particular attention to our
HAT STOCK.
For years wc have boen making a specialty of this department, and we can
safely say that we have never been better prepared than this 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 our stock. There are many citizens of Sumter County
who are now wearing hats bought from us toco 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. Our
friends seen: to apprecaite our efforts in this line, for several days before our
stock was received we were having inquiries :
' Have Your Hats Come TUL?"
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 FUR HAT, either soft or stiff in any shapa
AT ONE DOLLAR,
To call early and make their selections, as they are going very rapidly.
HS Clothing Department
We are better prepared than usual to give yon good value for the money
you wish to invest, from a
Boy's Suit at 65c. to a Man's Suit at $35.00.
IN OUR
We feel that we can supply your wants.
Shoe Department
Yon will find HONEST VADUE and a complete stock from which to select.
Wo cannot pass over this department without calling attention to oar
Celebrated Brand of E. P. Reed & Co's*
We have had exclusive sale of these goods for five years and we will pay a
Seward ?K(\ to ?wy lady in the county who has ever bought these goods
of Y"" Hom us. and upon failure of Hie same lo give satisfaction
that we did not BEFUNE HER MONEY? give a new pair of shoes or make
due allowance for the time they were worn. This we are authorized lo
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 }rou 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 Centemeri brands. Oar celebrated
GLOBE KID, in all shades, every pair warranted, has no superior.
Featherbone Corsets.
il
The lady who desires solid comfort, ought to supply heiself willi a pair of
the above brand soon as possible. Tiie subjoined cuts ^?ve only a faint
idea of them. They are 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?
viding 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 tiiis appeal to our friends without something to say
ABOUT THE COTTON BUSINESS.
Our reputation is pretty well established in the market, but we were never
better prepared to handle the fleecy staple than we are this season. Always
have the satisfaction of knowing that
