On account of a broken shaft at the Somter Cottoo Mills ooe day last week the mills have been shot down temporarily. A Dew shaft has been ordered and the Mills will resume operations again soon. A Small Fire Just as we were going to press an alarm of fire brought out the reels to extinguish a small blaze OD several bales of cottoo io front of Court House square on the side? walk. Io about three minutes four reels and their squads were OD the ground, and au immense crowd of spectators. Where they all came from is hard to say. The first stream came from No. 2, but io a second more, three more streams were turned on aod the feeble little blaze expired without an effort to prolong itself. The damage was light and more by water tbao by fire. The fire caught, probably, by the carelessness of some passing smoker tossing away the ead of his cigarette or cigar. We learn that the cottoo was the property of Mr. B. J. Barnett. The Bicycle Track Messrs. C. L. Martin, I. Harby Moses, J. G. R. Wilder, I. A. Ryttenbergand R. H.

The Association, as stated in these columns heretofore, proposes to construct a - bicycle track, base ball park, etc. The track will be located near tbe City Park on Turkey Creek. The books of subscription are now open sud the work of building the track will be started as soon as possible. Mr. Irving Rettenberg has received a letter from the secretary of the Charleston Wheel? men's Track Association saying : Our Association wishes to find out if it will be possible to get up a circuit of, say, Sumter, Columbia and Charleston, S. C., and Savaanab, Augusta and Atlanta, Ga., and by giving a series of races at these points, induce fast racing-men from the North and West to come South in competi? tion. We shall be glad to bear from you whether your Association will enter any such arrangement. A Convict Escapes From the State Farm. At the State farm, in the Northwestern part of this county, and under the superintendency of Mr. Tbos. O. Sanders, Sr., there was quite a lively and exciting time a few days ago. Early in the morning some convicts under the charge of one of the guards were sent down near the Wateree Swamp to do some work. On tbe way a coavict, George Cum ings, made op bis mind to escape, and turning quickly grasped the gun the guard was carry? ing and attempted to wrest it from bim, when another of the convicts weot. to the rescue of the guard. Failing in this attempt Cnmings made a dash for liberty, plunged into the the swamp and as was soon lost to view. Bloodhounds are kept on the farm for the purpose of catching runaway convicts and they were put into service. In about half an hour Cumings was caught and brought back to shelter. Two convicts wbo are serving life sentences were sent with the dogs, and seemed to be very proud that they had caught "de nigger." Emboldened as seems by tbe attempt of Cumings, Luther Jones, another one of the gang, decided that he would go, and io au hour afterwards be made a successful dash for freedom. He got the jump on his pursuers, and although the bounds were pot after him he escaped and has not yet been captured. Just Received* One Car Load Broke Mules. //. Harby. Sumter/S. C , Jan. 27, 1894.

Gentlemen : lu reply to yours of tbe 15th., beg to say that the Home Fertilizer chemicals paid this year on my farm better than any other fertilizer used by me. I think it was owing to its holding out so much longer than the ammouiated fertilisers which appear to start off crops early and after appear to fail too quickly. Yours truly, S.;D. LANE. JACKSON, N. C., Oct. 17, 1892. Messrs. Boykin, Carmer & Co. Gentlemen ; In reply to your enquiries as to the efficacy of Home Formula, I have used the same for the past six years in quantities varying from 3 to 25 tons. I consider it one of the most reliable fertilizers that I have ever used, and, cost considered, cheaper than other fertilizers that I have used. My experience is confined to its use under and by the side of corn and cotton only. When carefully and properly made, and used as per directions, I consider it unequaled. Respectfully, GEO P. BURG WYN. MARLVILLS, N. C., Sept. 20, 1893. Messrs. Boykin, Carmer & Co. Gentlemen : The chemicals I bought of you for making "Home Fertilizer" codtinue to give satisfaction.
