A number of farmers complain tbat it is difficult to find sale for pea viae hay. The trouble lies in tbe fact tbat tbe bay ie in bulk, if tbey would put tbe bay up in 150 to 200 lb. bales, tbey would dispose of it much more readily. There is still a quantity of Western bay sold in this coiraty uocl there should not be a pound brought bere. There was another row op tbe street last night. Patrick Burns was arrested by police men Holman for disorderly conduct, and resisted*arrest. Chief Bradford and Police man Weeks came to Capt. Hoi man's assist ance and made tbe arrean.

Tbe charge of carrying concealed weapons was not proven. On tbe other charges be was found guilty and fined $10 or twenty days. When tbe railroad from'here to Camdeo is built tbe lumber men will bave a fine territory opeoed to them. There is some of the finest timber in tbe State still to be found in tbe country through which tbe road must pass, It is stated on good authority that a great deal of this timber bas never been turpen tined. Providence and Bradford Springs and Sumter's Mount should become the Summer resorts for Sumter and Camdeo, for there can be found as pure water from perennial spriogs and aS bracing air as can be found this side of tbe peaks of tbe Bine Ridge. There is a negro lad kin jail charged with attempting to commit a foul crime upon a highly respectable lady of the Sammy Swamp section. Information reached the sheriff that an attempt would be made to lynch the prisoner, so be at once took tbe precaution to have the Manning Guards guard the jail, and after getting bis jail and the prisoner safe he found means to com municate with the parties tbat contemplated tbe lynching and secured an assurance that tbe law would be allowed to take its course. ?Manning Times, 18th. Mr. I. H. Moses, Jr , secretary of tbe Bicycle Association has received a letter from Rev. J. B. Middleten, President of the Colored Industrial Fair Association of Som ter in respect to the gala week. The dates fixed for the fair are October 15th to 19th but Rev. Middleton wishes to co-operate with tbe gala week idea and have tbe fair at the same time. He is heartily in favor of tbe proposition and says that bis association can be counted oo to work to make tbe week a success. The fair always draws a big crowd, and it would oodoubtly be a good idea to have both during tbe same week. The City Hall Clock now gives the time of day to all people regardless of age, sex, occu pation, or previous condition of servitude? to quote several delegates in tbe Republican Convention. "The clock was placed in posi tion and commenced to strike the hours regu larly on Thursday afternoon. Tbe tone of tbe bell is much better tban when it was first placed in the tower, bat it does not seem to bave the distinctness in tone and carrying power of tbe bell tbat was in the old Town Hall tower. Tbe writer has beard th old bell at a distance of at least seven miles. On one occasion, a calm and cold winter's night, be heard it distinctly as it struck the hour, when nearly eight miles io tbe country. Go to D. M. Campbells for ice cold meats.

The "hypnotize man," who has given several performances in our town this and last week, has organized a class, and among others Jim Tillman and Eppe Norrie are tak ing lessons. After taking one lesson these embryonic professors of neuro-hypnotism sallied out oo the streets to practice.

Tbe hypnotize man" above referred to is our fellow townsman, L. I. Parrott. He should caution bis pupils lest tbey get ioto worse trouble.

Attention is directed to tbe announcement of the above school, which appears to-day. The school is tborooghly equipped, tbe build ings are all new, large and especially adapted to school purposes. The location is healthy and no better place could be selected for tbe education of a boy. Mr. S. H. Edmunds, of this city, is at the head of the faculty, than which we could give ! no higher recommendation. The ?ew Nixon House. The new Nixon House is nearing completion, and when it is ready for occupancy. Mr. Nixon will be able to offer re-inforced attrac tion to tbe travelling public. Tbe dining room is 45x60 feet.

The old portion of the boose will be re-modeled and re-painted. Tbe whole house will be lighted by electricity, and several new bath rooms are being fitted up. The Tricks of Lightning. During the storm yesterday afternoon lightning struck tbe telegraph wires near tbe Camden Junction, and ran into tbe office playing havoc. Tbe instruments were de stroyed and tbe operator, Mr. Penny, who was sitting at tbe table, was knocked off his chair, tbe bottom of the chair was split and a plank ili tbe floor torn up. Tbe remarkable part of tbe affair was tbat Mr. Penny was not injured, bey od d a slight shock. The telegraph instruments in the Wedge field office were destroyed at the same time. A Parting Banquet. The friends of Colin C. Manning, Esq., tendered him a farewell banquet at the Nixon House Friday evening on the eve of his departure for Favai, Azore Islande, where he will represent the United States Government as Consul. The spread was elegant?host Nixon laid himself out?and tbe company was select and congenial.

If any of our subscribers who are mem bers of Tbe Farmers Insurance Association, of Sumter County, have forgotten to pay as sessment No. 4, l'or J. M. Witberspoon's barn and stable burned March 15th, and wish to keep up their insurance, tbey will thank us for reminding them tbat tbe time expires next Saturday tbe 28tb. If any have mislaid their cards, the amount is 2? cents on the $100.00 of insurance, and ail policies dated previous to March 16th, are assessed. Enough has been paid in to give assurance j tbat the amount ot Mr. Witherspoon's loss j will be met. Treasurer, W. F. Rbame, of tbe Bank of J Sumter, is receiving these payments. Fire. The bouse of Thomas Richardson, colored, situated oo Liberty Street, beyond tbe Catholic Church, was burned on Satorday night about 11 o'clock. The H re originated in tbe boxing under tbe eaves of tbe boose, and it is supposed that the trouble was caus ed by a rat and match. It was quite awhile after tbe fire was discovered before tbe alarm was given by the bell, and when tbe reels got there the house was too far gone. Tbe adjoining houses were saved by tbe good work of the firemen, although they were slightly damaged. The line of bose was stretched from tbe hydrant near the Methodist Church, a distacce of 1900 feet. Tbe house was the property of Tom Richardson, for many years porter for E. P. Ricker and Co. His insur ance was about $500. A Shooting Spree. While going to tbe fire pn Saturday night Newman Rosendorf, Gus Epperson, Marion Kingman and Jimmie Miller, met Jim Bracy, a rather notorious negro on Bartlett Street between Main and Washington and got into a fight with him. Gus Epperson was struck on tbe bead with a pair of brass knucks, and then one of the crowd began to shoot at Bracy. Three shots were fired in rapid suc cession, theo another and a moment later two more. Bracy escaped unhurt. A gentleman, who was going to the fire and was within fifty feet of tbe crowd when the shooting began is of tbe opioiou tbat he came nearer being tbe victim tban Bracy as the firing appeared to be directly towards bim. This is where the real danger lies in tbe reprehensible practice of street shooting ?it is nosually some unsuspecting passer-by tbat gets shot, while tbe combatants escape to shot another time. Bracy is still at large, and none of the parties have been arrested, so far as the writer has learned. The South Carolina College. The announcement of the South Carolina College for 1894?95 has been received. Some important changes have been made by tbe Board of Trustees in tbe requirements for ad mission, courses of study, etc. Geometry has been omitted as a requirement for admission, and provision has been made by which students may begin the study of Greek or Latio, either in regular or special courses. Special courses are also offered for those who are not able to take tbe regular college course, while a number of regular four years courses bave been added, Normal, Chemical, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and a modification of the Literary Course. This gives greater flexibility to the system and ( pens opportunities to those who might be debarred by tbe requirements for a regular course. Tbe necessary cost of living has been greatly reduced, and as tbe college bas a full and able faculty and full equipment for tbe work which it undertakes, it deserves the patronage of the people of tbe State.

Some three of four weeks ago a negro man made his appearance in the Shiloh section, aod did not take long to get tbe lay of tbe land and begin bis devilment. He was identified as a boy. who was raised about eighteen miles below Sbilob and bad been known by tbe name of McCrea before going to Georgia six or eight years ago. On his return be bad two names?Tom Burgess aod Toney Eppe. On last Tuesday be robbed tbe bouse of William McDonald, of Claren don, Tuesday he robbed the house of a negro woman, and Thursday be appeared in Mayes ville and in tbe broad daylight broke into tbe bouse of Mr. W. J. McLeod, Jr., and stole forty or fifty dollars, a pistol, a lot o cloth ing and some other articles. He weot towards Alderman's and on Fri day Constable F. S. Player bunted him in that section with a warrant, bot failed to Sod him. Saturday be was in tbe neighborhood of Scotts vi lie. and Messrs. W. A. Cooper aod Frank McEIveen, who were after him came up with him on the road and arrested him. While searching bis bundle, Burgees stood quietly by, pretending to submit to tbe arrest. Mr. Cooper made the search and Mr. McEIveen kept his eye on tbe prisoner. Burgess began to scratch himself and suddenly whipped out a pistol and fired point blank at Mr. McEIveen, who saved his life by dodging. Tbe ball passed within a few inches of his neck. Bargees made a break followed by three or four shots from Mr. Cooper's pistol, none of which hit tbe mark. Later in tbe day Mr. WUherepoon Cooper attempted to arres-; Burgess, shooting at him several times with out effect. Saturday night Mr. F. S. Player was in formed that Burgess was biding in a negro's boose near Sbilph. He got Messrs. Willie Odom, Ran3 Welch and S. J. Mime and several negroes to accompany him and went at once to make tbe arrest. He found his man at tbe bouse of Daniel Lemmon, wbere be was located by some negroes. When tbe party arrived within fifty yards of the boose Messrs. Mime aod Odom refused to proceed, aod Odom turned bis gun over to Mr. Player, who was armed only with a revolver. Mr. Player walked up on one side of the door and Mr. Welch on tbe other, Mr. Player covered a negro man be saw just in front of the door aod ordered him to throw up bis bands. Tbe negro obeyed promptly but be was not Burgess, aod tbe mistake came near costing Mr. Player hie life. Burgees was in tbe corner.of the house bebind a table aod before Mr. Player could brine bis gun around to cover bim, Burgess shot at him, tbe ball borying itself in tbe door-facing and miseiog him not more than a few inches. Mr. Player then fired one barrel of bis goo, a part of the load taking effect in Bur gess' eide, tbe rest struck tbe table leg. Burgess then attempted to make bis escape through tbe back door, but tbat was locked and when be started to jump out of tbe win dow Mr. Player was there to meet him. Burgess shot again aod ran back to the front door. As he dashed out into tbe darkness Mr. Player got to the corner of tbe house aod Burgess shot again and then Mr. Player let him have it with the other barrel, bringing bim down with a bole in bis back. It was thought that Burgess would die im mediately, bot be did not, so be was brought here on Monday night and placed in jail. He is desperately wounded and there is not moch hope of recovery.

At a meeting of the State Reform Execu tive Committee tbe following action was taken: That the Reform Clubs of Sumter County meet at their respective places on Saturday, August Uth, and express their choice by bal lot for Governor aod Lieut. Governor of this State, said ballot to be under tbe direction and management of each clnb, and at tbe same time elect delegates?one delegate at large and one for every twenty-five members and one for a majority fraction thereof?to a re form convention to be held in the Court House at 11 o'clock on Monday, the 13th of August, to elect delegates to tbe State Re form Convention to be held in Columbia on Thursday the 16th of August.

In obedience to these instructions I call tbe Reform Clubs to meet on Saturday, August the 11th, and.also the Reform Convention on Monday, August the 13th. Noting that the Reformers bave but a few candidates in the field, I respectfully suggest tbat at tbe convention to meet on August tbe 13th, tbe Reformers do come prepared to nominate a full County ticket if thought advisable and for tbe beet interests of the County. Knowiog there are many conservative democrats who desire to support Governor Tillman for the United States Senate, and who for patriotic motives desire to aid tbe Reformers in selecting a Governor and Lieut. Governor for thf State, I respectfully invite all such toj?in our clubs and take tbe same pledge we ourselves take to support the nominees. H. R. Thomas, President Reform Democracy. E. M.
