The Distribution Bop on last Thursday evening was unusually well atteoded, aod proved to be a most pleasant aod successful eveat. The furniture warehouse of Mr. Arthur Beliize., near the A.

Willie Tnrner as captain, and Willie Wells as secre? tary and treasurer. The Privateer boys make good players, and doubtless this club will make a good record for itself. Fine Hains. Several fine showers bave visited the city and vicinity recently. We hear that most sections of tbe county have been visited with like refreshing showers, for which all should be devootly thankful. Youthful Benevolente. Three little girls, Ansley Holman, Irma Smith and Alma Stancil, got op a little show at tbe residence of Mr. W. P. Smith, on Mon? day afternoon, for the benefit of the Wallace family, realizing $1.25 for that purpose. The gift of the little ones was highly appreciated, and will do mach good. Such actions might be more frequent without doing violence to the spirit of cnarity that never fuie tb. Y. M. C. A. Tbe annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was beid io tbe Presbyterian Church Sunday evening. As there was no services ia tbe otber churches, the seating capacity of the j cborcb was taxed to accommodate the con? grega tioo. Rev. J. W. Daniel preached the i sermon, and State Secretary Lewis made ' a talk on the work of association. A sub? scription of $15G was raised to keep the work going doring the next year. Wild Cat Killed. For several weeks, Mr. James White, who lives about three miles from tbe city near Green Swamp, bas been having bis chickens stolen by some thief, bot of what variety be could not tell. A few nights ago he set a steel trap in the edge of the swamp, and the next ? morning found io his trap a wild cat measor- j ing 32 inches in length. Tbe varmint was i killed. It was a female and is the first seen j around here for some time. Inspection. The Sumter Light Infantry was inspected on Friday afternoon by Col John Gary Watts, Assistat Adjutant and Inspector Genera!. Forty men, rank and file, turned out, and the company made a very creditable appearance. The Game Cock Guards, one of the re? cently organized companies, was inspected at Richardson's Grove at 3 o'clock p. m. Fifty four men turned out under Capt. T. W. Lee. Col. Waits says that the company is made up of Soe material and with proper drill and discipline will be a fine company. New Cotton. Capt. J. W. Cooper, of Mayesville, on Monday brought os a specimen of a new variety of cotton with which be is experi? menting. It is known as King, and is both prolific and early. The stalk we have is fifteen inches in height and bas four bolls, two blooms open, a number of blooms nearly grown and forms. This variety begins to take on fruit sooner than other varieties and i will make a crop in almost any season, j There ?3 one peculiarity about this variety : 1 the blooms have red spots near the center, \ similar to those in okra blooms. Married. The marriage of Mr. A. W. Knight, of this city, aod Miss Bennie, daughter of Mrs. S J. Legg, of Manning, was solemnized at the re? sidence of the bride's mother on Thursday morning last. Death. Mr. R. M. Wheeler died at bis borne near MayesTilie last Thursday night, in the eighty fifth year of bis age, and was buried in the M *y es vi i Ie Cemetery. Mr. J. H. Hood died at bis home in this city on Saturday morning. The immediate cause of dcHth was paralysis, but be hud heen in failing health for a long time Mr. nood was a native of Canada, but had been a resi? dent of Sumter for seventeen years. Mr. John M. Plowdon, an old citizen formerly ot* the Fork of Black Bi ver section of Clarendon County, but who has followed tbe turpentine business in varions places for many years died on Sondav, June 17th, in the ?oar neighborhood,, to which be removed last winter from Georgia.. j Mrs. Ju nius N. Spoon died oo Friday morn I ing last from heart failure, produced by tb*? ! shock from the reception of the telegram an I noonciog the death of Bennie Spann in A raericus, Ga The funeral services of both Mts. Spann nod Bennie were held tn the Methodist Church on Sunday morning. The interment was made in the Cemetery, both I bodies being placed io one grave. The following notice concerning the death of Bennie Spann is taken from the Americus, Ga., Times-Recorder : "The an non oc*men t yesterday morning that Benny Spann was dead, while not a sur? prise, brought keen sorrow to tbe hearts of many warm friends who knew and loved bim and who had tenderly watched by his bedside through the long weeks of illness and suffering. Almost a stranger within our gates, he was taken to tbe hearts and home of a generous people, wbo nursed bim with utmost tender? ness. It was a labor of love nobly per? formed. Mr Spann came here from Sumter, S. C., and was employed at the Central depot. Several weeks ago he went with the Light Infantry to Griffin and there was stricken with typhoid fever. When the company returned home Mr. Spann was carried to the Hawkins House, but later, by invitation ot Mr. and Mrs. 0. A. Coleman, was taken to their beautiful home in Leeton. Here he was tenderly nursed, many ladirs and members of the Light Infantry lending their assistance For awhile be r J lied, but the fever had taken a strong hold upon him and at 9'clock yesterday tbe end came. The body was embalmed, and under mili? tary escort was taken to the Central depot arid sent to bis home Mr. J. N. Spoon, jr., an elder brother of the deceased and wbo was with bini for several days before he died, accompanied the body to Sumter, S. C. The broken-hearted brother had the sympathies of everyone in bis deep affliction. Hardly had the train departed when a telegram was received here announcing the sudden death of the poor boy's mother, j The news of the death of her boy was too i mach for ber, and io the cemetery in the little ! Sooth Carolioa town to day, two coffins will j lie side by side in a single grave and mother j and son will be at rest for ever." Religious. - The Rev. John Kershaw will officiate next Sunday at the Cborcb of the Holy Comforter, Sumter. Hours of service ll a. m. and 6 p. m Tbe Holy Commanion will be adminis? tered at tbe morning service. Rev. D.

At tbe annual meeting of the Sumter Cern- j etery Association last week the following . report was made bv Secretary and Treasurer ! W. H. Yates : Cash on hand Jone '93, $39.52 Cash from interments, 87.00 j Cash from sale of Lots, 77.50 j Total, $204.02 j Total amount expended, including wages paid lodge keeper, 139.10 1 Leaving balance oo band, $64.92 ; The following officers were elected : J.

J. j Longest, from Richmond, Ya., and claiming to be a K. of P., a Mason and also a Red Man, was in this city yesterday, and under? took to work members of the different frater? nities for aid. He received help from several, and about night was seen on the street glo? riously drunk. It has been acertained that he is an impostor, and those who gave him a careful examination, found that he wa3 not what be claimed to be. He is about 5 feet 10 inches, somewhat dark features, and wears a brown mustache. He has been working the same dodge in Wilmington and Charlotte, and if the papers will pass him around, the benevolently inclined may be saved from bestowing their aid upon an impostor and a man wbo is mean enough to try to get money by falsehood to be spent for whiskey - M .??.-i Cheap Money Orders. On and after July 1st, the post office will sell money orders at the following reduced j rates : Not exceeding $2.50 3c. Exceeding $ 2.50 and not over $ 5 5c. 5 " " " lo 8c. !

Rains during the week have been very par? tial and irregular ; over a few favored spots of a few acres in extent tbs rainfall was plenti- : ful, but as a general rule it has been exceed- ! iogly light and the need of it continues with unabated or rather increased urgency for the j relief of suffering vegetation. Indications j for more plentiful rains are good to-day, 25th. i St. Joseph's Academy, j The Thirtieth Annual Commencement ; St. Joseph's Academy was held on last Thu j day evening at tte Academy, and was i : tended by a large number of patrons a ! friends-many from abroad, i The program, which is published in fi j below was rendered with a vim and en thu j asm which were imparted to the audiencr j large measure, making th? ent ente betwe performers and hearers, perfect. Tbe aft< noon was very warm, and the accoramod tions insufficient to the need of the audien< hut that was due less to the size of the hi than to the magnitude of the audience, w j always throng these distributions Weo"8erved, on ?he stage, the Right Rf H. P. Northrop, Bishcp of the Diocese, ai Fathers Mouaghan ?nd McNeill of the clerg Father MenHghan announced the hone and Bishop Northrop bestowed them upi the fair roDtestams The Bishop WHS dov for ao address, but owing to the lateness the hour, after the other exercises were co eluded, be considerately refrained from deli ering a formal address, contenting hims* with a few witty mid pleasant informal r marks, which received the unqualified appro al or bis hearers. Altogether, whether we consider the wor accomplished by the pupils during the la year or the quality of the music, or tl general ensenble of the distribution, ti Sisters have cause to congratulate tbemselvi upon its success.

Bli M. Cooper and the present incumbent, Dr. H. T. Abbott. It is not a certainty that Messrs. Moses, Williamson and Mani.inp will make the race, but their friends are using every argument to get them to enter the race. The other candidates mentioned are also as yet prospective. Messrs John M. Miller, D. E. Keels and H. L. Scarborough are numbered for the Treasurership. For Auditor, A. B. Stuckey and Peter Thomas will each bave a strong support. The rumors in regard to other candidates are as yet too hazy, bot by next week will, no doubt, assume definiteness.
