We expect to bear in a day br two that bail fell to the west and north of us Monday. Cotton has surely had a bard time thus far. It looks sickly and the leaves are speckled, showing tbat the plant is not vigorous. It needs bot nights as well as bot days to make it strong and healthy. Bad Scheme. It is a bad scheme to fill up depressions in the street with brickbats. They make a rough roadway, damage vehicles, tend to hurt horses' feet, and cause them to stumble, and finally the brickbats make two boles instead of the one filled. Fill the boles with clay.

The vonng ladies who played instrumental ! solos, Miss Freeland and Miss Laura Mood. ; won the plaudits of the audience, white Mr. Carson's reading brought oaf Mr. Pickwick's j iii I erna in a most glaring light.

Monday afternoon the Florence Club and j the Sumter Club played a game in this city. The Sumter boys played in bad iuck and a few costly errors at a critical point in the game gave Florence most of the runs she scored. At the end of the game Sumter had tailed to score while Florence had 7 runs to her cn dit. The following is the score by innings : Sumter -0 0000000 0-0 Florence-0 0 0 4 2 1 0 0 0-7 The second game' betweeo the same clubs took pince yesterday afternoon, and as our boys bad pulled themselves together, a fine game of bate ball was the result. We felt that our boys were able to defeat Florence, but for some unknown reason,, played in bad luck the first day. in yesterday's game Florence scored 4 runs in the first inning, and failed to score >?ny more, while Sumter by good and careful playing scored 5 iiroe3. The follow? ing is the score by innings: Sumter -0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 2-5 Florente-4, 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-4 The battery for Sumter io the first game was Sanders and Brimson. In the second game Harper and Brimson. Both batteries did good w ork for the club. The fielding of the Florence team was as fine as ever a Sumter audience witnessed. Joe Villeneuve is hard to beat on 1st base, and Genie Wilder can't be beat in the field. The Sumter Club left this morning on ih? Excursion to Red Springs where they will meet the Mt. Clio Club, of this county, and endeavor to add one more victory to their list. Our boys will stop over in Darlington and play there to-morrow and Friday. The pro? bability is that Darlington will play a better game than she did tn Sumter. The Club will leave Jone lOtb for a week's trip to Greenville and Spartanburg. The boys will play three games with Greenville and the same number with Spartanburg. The Sumter Club challenged both of the dobs named, and the challenge was accepted.

Tom Somers Again. The manner in which this criminal came ! to be arrested as related by a Florence I contemporary, shows how murder and i other crimes will oxt. He brutally ; beat his wife and for that was ar- j rested and locked up. Sheriff McLendon wired Assistant-Chief Weeks, who went over j and brought Somers -to Sumter. No suspi- : cion attached to him until he beat his wife. I Then investigation led to suspicion, suspicion j to inquiry, inquiry to arre3t. Somers says I he is sorry now that he beat his wife No j doubt ! It does not take long to make a fellow develop sorrow of this sort, when the action gets him into trouble. - -- -- City Aid to Sectarian Schools.

Gen. Moise gave an in? teresting sketch ot a number of South Caro? lina authors, dwelling chiefly on that unique genius, John C. Calhoun. Altogether the entertainment was instructive and stimulating and the Association deserves to succeed io its laudable objects. The Coming Bicycle Meet.

Fire at Mayesville. MAYESVILLE, S. C., May 28. The fire fiend has again visited Mayesville. The fire on Saturday evening last came near being a disastrous conflagration to the whole town, and but for the heroic and determined efforts of the citizens, both white and colored, together with the small band engine belong? ing to tbe town and also one belonging to Mr. George G. Cooper, there is no telling where it would haye extended after crossing Lafaytte to West Main St. The fire origi? nated in a box of old papers belonging to tbe late Robt. P. Mayes, and which was stored io tbs rear end of tbe store boase occupied by R. C. Hodson, as an office, and is supposed to have been caused by a rat and matches. Tbe building was owned by Rev. Geo. G. Mayes, and was insured with A. White & Son for $500. Mr. Hudson's loss was slight. Tbe postoffice came next, but by the timely work of Mr. M. P. Mayes, jr., the mail and P. O. material were saved, with the exception of the lock boxes and contents. The build? ing was Capt. T. B. Johnston's, and was insured for $250 with A. White & Son. Mr. J. W. Cooper's store was next, but be saved a part of his stock, mostly groceries. His insurance on both stock and store was $750, with a Mayesville agency. The loss is particularly heavy on Mr. Cooper, inasmuch as be was burnt out at the same stand about three years ago. His loss is estimated at $2,000. A warehouse of Mr. A. A. Strauss was also burned. Insured with A. White & Son for $300 The store ofl?r. J. E. Mayes and the drug store of Dr, C. E. King, (formerly the property of Dr. F. J. Mayes,) eaught several times but were saved. The citizens of Mayesville should feel under obligation to the Sumter Fire Department for their prompt response in getting ready to go to their assistance. Had it not heen for the telegram sayiDg they did not need them,'and that the fire was under control, the Sumter Fire Department would have been on hand in less than 30 minutes. June Term of Court.
