He has more to butcher, aod he knows where he got them. There was a fight Monday evening on Main Street, near Levi's store between Spencer Barr and Beau regard Davis, both colored. They fought until satisfied as there were no police around. The lookers on pronounced it a very pretty draw fight with tbe odds a little in Davis' favor. In another column is given an extract from tbe Yorkv?h Yeoman in regard to tbe 3 C's R. R. There seems to be a strong probability that tbe road will be extended to this city. A gentleman wbo is a director of Sumter k Wateree R. R., has been approached concern ing tbe matter by interested parties. Tbe charter of this company grants the right to build a road between Sumter and Camden. Tbe crowd of young men who have been camping on tbe beach near Wrights vi ?le, .

Tbey all had a big time and speak in tbe highest terms of their treatment by the members of tbe Caro lina Yacht Club, whose clnb house was thrown open to them. Tbey were tbe recipi ents of many courtesies aod attentions that will not soon be forgotten. Upper Main street. The funds for tbe improvement ou Main Street are now available. Tbe County Com missioners have appropriated $100, the citizens living on that end of Main Street have subscribed more than tbe amount agreed upoo and the city is able to do ber part. Therefore the work should be commmenced at once. Tbe street needs improvement, and there is nothing to be gained by putting off the work. If the city has |tbe work in charge, we are sure there will be no unneces sary delay. Deaths. Mrs H. P. Jackson, (nee Miss Carrie Folsom) a daughter of Mr. F. A. Folsom, died at ber home, Clover, S.

Hour of ser vice, 7 30 o'clock. There will also be service at 11 o'clock. Great Bicycle Meet. The President of tbe League of Araericao Wheelmen has requested the Su rater Track Association to hare a Bicycle Meet here dur ing tbe second week in October. Tbe officers of the Association have decided to bold the meet and it will be the biggest thing of the kind ever held in the State. ? majority of the famous bicyclists of America i will be bere and fast time is promised, j Johnson, Sauger and other men of Class B, will be bere, and Adams and Baird will meet j again. It would be a good idea for all of the peo ple to get together and make the second week of October a sort of gala occasion and get a big crowd to come to Sumter. A Fireman's Tournament would be a drawing card, and a first class company playing in the Opera House would also help. Tbe matter is worth consideration, at least. Fires. The house of Julius Edwards, the barber, situated on Council Street was burned oo last Saturday morning. The alarm was rung at 2.55 a. m , and the 6re department responded so promptly that the fire was extinguished and tbe water turned off at 3.13. The fire had mude considerable headway before dis covered aod tbe rear portion of the house consisting of two rooms and a kitchen were j in flames when the reels got inere. The i front rooms were not seriously injured. The bouse was,insured for $500 and tbe furni ture for $300. Tbe stables of Richard Thompson who lires near tbe A. C. L. Depot, were burned this morning about 2 30 o'clock. Tbe fire was too far adraoced when the alarm was given for the department to do more than prevent the fire spreading. In tbis connection a remark on tbe effi ciency of the fire department is not out of place. The Edwards fire is proof of what will be said. Tbis boose was situated between two other houses, which were distant not more than ten feet. When the reels arrived tb? whole back portion of tbe boose was ablaze, yet the fire was put out aod neither Q? the adjoining houses were injured. Sumter has a Sre department tut gires protection. Tbe efficiency of the department is trace able to two things, the energy aod enthu siasm of the members and tbe fact that Mr. Bloom is tbe man for tbe position of chief. Quite a number of firemen have asked tbe writer to make public mention of the fact that chief Bloom speaks of refusing re-election, so that tbe people may bring pressure to bear upon him and induce, him to continue in a position he has filled to the satisfaction of all parties The New County? Messrs. Jobn R. Haynsworth, of this city, and Pate, of Florence, commenced the survey of tbe proposed new Salem or Rutledge County on Monday. Tbey were employed'by the Salem County Committee o? Bisbopville. Tbe lines of tbe proposed county are as fol lows in Sumter County : Beginning at Lynches River near Wood's Mill, below Lyncbburg, tbence to Swimming Pens, then up Scape Oer to McGirt's Branch, then up McGirt's Branch and in a straight line until the Kershaw line is reached at the point where Rafting Creek Township and Bradford Springs Township comes. The line will ex tend hence up into and acetose the south eastern portion of Kersbaw to Chesterfield. The south-western portions of Cbester?eld County and tbe north-western portion of Dar lington will be cut off. The line will cut tbe Sumter line at Field's Bridge on Lynches River, and from tbt3 point the river will be the line to tbe starting point. From what can be.learned the people in the territory adjacent to Bisbopville are nearly all in favor of tbe new county, but bow the peo ple of Lyncbburg, Swimming Pens and Spring Hill will look at it we have not beard. Tbe next question is whether tbe required territory is available. According to tbe survey of Robert Broun, as given oo tbe map of Sumter County, published in 1878 by M. H. McLaurin, tbe area of Sumter County is 850 square miles. Tbe census statistics of 1890, credit Sumter County with 870 square miles. Darlington, according to the census of 1890, has an area ol 675, Chesterfield 986 and Kersbaw 775. From these figures it would appear that tbe required area can be obtained, so this objection"Ss removed. The last question is in regard to the shape of Sumter, Darlington, Kersbaw and Ches terfield after Bisbopville has secured her territory. Speaking for Sumter, it must be said that tbe shape would not be at all satisfactory. Let all parties interested get a map and go to studying tbe question. Let those who live in tbe proposed new county ascertain whether they would be beoefitted by the change in any respect, whether they would be nearer tbe Court House than at present, or whether tbey would not rather come a few miles farther and have the advantage of a better market both to sell and buy. Tbe "last game of base ball of tbe season," played oo Thursday afternoon by Sumter and Providence, was not much of a game?a sort of last rows of pea-picking affair. The score was 37 to 16 in favor of Sumter. Hide out, Little Office ! Git out o' tbe way, little office 1 The candidates come with a shout ; You'd better skeedadle? They're all in the saddle ! Hide out, little office, hide out I Git out o' tbe way little office ! There's no use to preach or to pout ; Tbe brass band's a drummin'? The candidate's comi?'! Hide out, little office, hide out !

Tbe K. of P. will confer tbe rank of Page on Mr. I. A. Ryttenberg next Monday night Tbe new parapbanalia will be used. All are requested to attend. REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON VENTION. A Bich, Bare and Baey Bow. Many Pints of Carder and Questions of Priv ilege . Much Information Desired by the Delegates. The Republ?car County County Convention j assembled here y esterday to elect delegates to the Congressional Conveution to be held at St. Matthews ou the 19th instant. The dele- j gates began to assemble early and there was considerable log-rolling and pow-wowing on the Street corners before the Convention was j called together in the Court House about 2 o'clock. R. H. Richardson, the District Chairman, held a caucus of bis followers in the hall o? tbe Colored Investment Association on Liber ty Street and there was considerable speech making. Richardson, be it said, is one of the most active candidates for the nomina- j tion. When the delegates assembled in tbe Court House all were ready for business and more than ready to demand all tbe rights and priv ileges that citizenship m.ikes tbem heir to Richardson, by virtue of bis offic, took charge and called for the toll of delegates ; and while this was being made up called for the election of temporary chairman. Here the fun began. S. T. Frierson, one of Richard son's most zealous adherents, was nominated, a motion made to close tbe nominations, and in the face of several attempts to make other nominations, Richardson pot tbe motion and declared Frierson elected, although tbe noes greatly outnumbered the ayes. This threw the whole house into an uproar, and nothing more was done for some time. There were dozens attempting to get a hearing, most of them protesting in the plainest language against the partisan, unfair, rascally, outra geous, unparliamentary, <fec , ruling of the aforesaid Richardson. Richardson held fast and pounded the desk without intermission, but there was no order. Cf.pt. T. B. Johnston, another candidate for Congress, protested against Richardson's rul ing, but it was no use. J. C. Wbittaker made a motion to nominate a temporary chairman. .He was ruled out of order by Richardson, who held on to the ! chair and announced that he bad decided that tbe temporary organization had been per fected. (Turmoil and yells.) E. Walker got the floor. He condemned ! io much talk and row "Tbe members of! the convention is the bosses of this meeting ! j and they should bo9s it." "They should ? keep order and see that outsiders keep order j also " "We must proceed intelligently, and | put out those who don't act intelligently. ' Cap Shiver interrupted. "1 want to know if the chairman is acting fair and square with us." Answered by Walker : "1 don't re cognize anyone as chairman." "Richardson has prevented the meeting from being called to order, and has not done bis doty." W. W. Ramsey took the floor aod said that if there was ever a time that be was dis gusted with the proceedings of a meeting from tbe commencement to the end, this was the ime He believe in conducting a meeting in an orderly manner and according to law and decency. "I am a member of this con vention and stand bere to support a Republi can candidate. Richardson?"For what pur- ] pose does tbe gentleman rise?" (Row and disorder.) W. J. Andrews?"Did you ever see a convention that assembled to do the will of tbe people?" Ans.?"I have seen such, butnot this one." (More disorder, and a baker's dozen or more attempts to make speeches.) Richardson takes control again by main force of lung power, and reads bis lists of delegates to Congressional convention. Motion made and seconded that nominations close?carried. Question of election put by acclamation, and declared carried amidst a war of protests. Meeting declared adjourned by Richardson, who hastily lefr the Court House, followed by bis crowd. (More dis order, speeches and general confusion.) Then there was a lull in the storm and something like quite was obtained Z. E. Walker took charge, and bad started to make some remark, when a regular pandemonium broke loose around the secretary's table. S. T. Frierson, Richardson's attempted tem porary chairman, bad returned and seized tbe roll of delegates and was tearing it to tatters before anyone knew what was up. When the crowd realized what was going on tbey grab bed him on every side. Tbey fought and pulled and struggled to get the roll from him. The police rushed in and took a hand in the incipient riot. Chairs were overturned and it looked like the convention of the G. O.^P. of Sumter County would wind up in a free fight and the delegKtes land in the guard house. Chief Brad fard and Assistant Weeks were equal to the emergency, and with the assist ance of some of the more quiet delegates rescued the roll, or rather what was left of it, and let Frierson depart in peace. Z. E. Walker again takes charge, and an nounced that be did so as County chairman, the Congressional chairman having aban doned tbe position. The committeemeo re tired to tbe jury room to make up the roll of delegates, in tbe interval several high flown speeches concerning the Republican party, the negro race and rascally chairmen were made. When tbe roll wa3 completed 56 delegates answered to their names. M. D. Wheeler and R. C. Wessberry took the floor. Wessberry was recognized, but before he could begin his speech Wheeler took the floor on a question of privilege. His question was : "I want to know why Mr. Wessberry was recognized?" Chairman: "Take your seat, and if you don't behave we'll have yon put out." Wheeler: "Well I want satisfaction and must get it. I am a delegate to this convention aod have as much right on the floor as anybody, and you can't run no bull over me." During tbis Wessberry was going enthusi astically forward witb bis speech, and when he concluded, Z. E. Walker was elected tem porary chairman, and J. C. Whittaker, secre tary. Wheeler was constantly on the floor demanding recognition on questions of privi lege, information and correction. When tbe organization had been made permanent, Walker proceeded to read the riot act for Wheeler's benefit. He told him be must treat the convention with resnect or be put out of the door. Wheeler could not be intimidated, however, and insisted on having his rights as a delegate respected. Commiteee on Credentials reported favor ably on all delegates except Spring Hill, and for tbis delegation recommended that both regular and contesting delegation be seated on half votes. W. W. Ramsey moved that the chairman appoint a committee to oominate delegate.9 to tbe Congressional convention. Then there was more disorder, some objecting and some seconding the motion. Albert Spears held tbe floor. He did not want any sucb cut and dried plan. He would not agree to let two or three men lay out what is to be done. Ramsey wanted to ask Spears a ques tion, who refused to yield the floor. Spears : I bave been a delegate to convention for 23 years?" Ramsey: "You wont be here 23 years longer." Spears: I may be dead." A voice: "We hope so." It must not be imagined that Wheeler had subsided. Not much, he was still calling to tbe chairman. "Mr. Chairman; 0?b ! Mr. Chairman! You woot recognize me now, but my time will come. I am a delegate and got a right here and I will talk." Then he would make a speech to those immediately around him about the bull dozers and bums, trying to run the convention and not going according to parliamentary law. Nominations for delegates to the Congres sional Convention were finally made from tbe loor, amid great confusion. About fif teen or twentr were nominated, but wben | the election had been held by roll call, seven i Johnston delegates were safely elected. j While the election was going od there was ! a continuous bub-bub. Wheeler was so I insistant in bis questions of information and correction that the chairmnn sent for the police and asked them to take Wheeler out if he did not sit down. Wheeler made a few remarks about his rights as a delegate and and not letting them run the bull over him and then left the hall, but returned in a few minu?s. Tbe delegates were then instructed to stick toCapt. T. B. Johnston, "first, last and always," over the protest of Albert^ Spears. The meeeting adjourned. It was a circus of the first order, but out of it Crtpt. Johnston and bis followers came off vii-tors. They whipped Richardson and Mur ray, who was on hand to aid his lieutenant, and then worked the remainder of tbe crowd just as they saw fit. ' There will be, of course, two delegations to St. Matihews, one declared elected by Richrtrdson and tbe one by the Johnston Walker crowd. There are already five candidates out in this district. T. B. Johnston and R. H. Richardson, of Sumter, J. H. Fordham and E. A. Webster, of Orangeburg, and E. M. Bray ton, of Ricblaod. Unless all signs fail there will be a monkey and parrot time at St. Matthews, for as Wheeler remarked several times : "There is a monkey in this, and tbey are trying to run over us vindictively." THE M. & A. RAILROAD. Something About tbe Coast Line's New South Carolina Line.? The New Road to be Opened for Traffic August 1st. General Manager John R. Kenley, and General Auditor W. A. Riach, of the At lantic Coast Line, returned to the city yes terday from a trip over the Coast Line's new branch, the Manchester and Augusta Rail road, recently completed from Rimini, Clarendon County, S. C, to Denmark, at the junction of tte Augusta division of tbe South Carolina Railway and tbe South Bound Railroad, in Barnwell County, S. C. They left here a few days ago, and on Wednesday last, in company with the South Carolina Railroad commission, made a tour of inspection over the new road. The inspection proved very satisfactory in all particulars, and accordingly tbe new line will be opened up for traffic on Wednesday, August 1st. Toe Manchester and Augusta Railroad, as completed, embraces sixty-three and a half miles of track, including nineteen miles completed in 1888 from Sumter to Rimini on tbe Santee River. That portion just built from Rimini to Denmark is forty-four and a half miles in length, and runs through a magnificent country that is already well settled and largely .developed. It is a particularly fine agricultural region, and we are informed that tbe crops along the new line are simply splendid. Tbe country is also well timbered and well watered, and is one of? the richest cotton districts on the South Atlantic, brides being admirably adapted to other crops and abounding in the resources so peculiar to this favored part of tbe South. The track of the new road is laid with 70-pound steel rails and tbe rivers and waterways over which it crosses are spanned with splendid steel bridges of the moat approved make. Tbe principal streams crossed are tbe Saotee and tbe North and South Edisto rivers, while there are numerous smaller streams along tbe line The principal towns connected by the Manchester and Augusta are Sumter, which contains a population of 5,350, Rimini with 250, Orangeburg with 5,000 and Denmark with 500. The road traverses portions of Sumter, Clarendon, Orangeburg and Barn well counties, and at tbe city of Sumter it is in junction with the other roads of tbe Coast Line ramifying in all directions traversed by the system. At Denmark it forms a junction with tbe South Bound Railroad running to Savannah and Florida and with the South Carolina Railway running from Charleston to Augusta and there making connections South and West. It will thus be seen that the new road is an important link in the Atlantic Coast Line system, and its construc tion during the period of financial depression that bas paralyzed ail industrial progresa in America, shows that this great Southern railrod system is in the very front rank as a factor io the development of Southern re sources. The Coast Line people are now building six miles of belt lioe around Petersburg, Va., aud that work, we learn, will be completed at an early day.? Wilmington Messenger, July 13. What is Beauty? 'Question of a Blind Man!" Replied Aristotle. But Mrs. Sherwood says that it is "dynamite" in ber article which opeos the interesting pages of tbe July Cosmopolitan. Beauty is always a fascinat ing subject, and Mrs. Sherwood's discussion is an especially interesting one. That tbe July Cosmopolitan is a midsummer number is shown in many directions. Tbree short stories, including one of sport and adventure, two travel articles, and other light matter, make up 128 pages of charming summer reading. The July Cosmopolitan marks tbe close of the first year since tbe revolutionary an nouncement was made that tbe price of that magazine, already low, bad been cut to one half of three dollars a year. AH sorts of predictions have come to be unfulfilled during the year?it would be impossible to maintain the rate?tbe quality would be lowered?tbe size would be decreased. But even ^3vere critics admit that with each suceeding num ber there has been a betterment in the quality of articles and illustrations, and the size has remaiued unchanged, except the always growing advertising pages. Tbe magazine printed, for the six mooths embraced io Volume xvi, ooe million four hundred and nineteen thousand copies, an entirely unap proacbed record, and bas doubled its already large plant of presses and binding machinery. The walls of tbe magazine's new borne are rapidly rising at Irvington-on-the-Hudson. Aristically designed by McKim, Mead & White, tbe new building, with its eight great porticos, will be 279 feet long by 76 feet wide, and one of tbe most perfectly lighted build ings in the world, having 160 large windows, each nearly double tbe size of the ordinary window opening.
