A number of farmers inform the writer

Religious
Litany services were held in the Church of
the Holy Comforter this morning
Rev W. W. Mills, ot Camden, will preach
at Hebron Church, next Sunday at 2
o'clock, noon.
Last Sunday was the last Sabbath of the
Conference year, and a large congregation was
present at the Methodist Church. Mr. Daniel
preached an ablesermon, to an appreciative
and interested .audi tory . Should Mr Daniel
not be returned to this charge, there will be
great disappointment in his congregation and.
the city a large.
The services at the Y. M. C. A. Hall Sun?
day afternoon were largely attended, a great
many ladies availing themselves of the
invitation extended. The hall was .filled to the
limit of its seating capacity, and a number
could ?ot obtain standing room.
Mr. : George M a no tte led, and talks were
made by Drs. Brown and Edmunds. The
singing was excellent and services ? ere en?
joyed by all who attended.

A Fiery Ordeal.
Tuesday night last, a colored tramp stole a
ride on the truck of an out-going train.
Just after the train got started, a spark from
th? locomotive flew under the o r and fell on
the darkey's pants, and set them on fire ne- ]
fore he knew it. ' Wheo he did discover it the
fire bad made good headway. The train I
waa going fast and tba wind acted as a blower
on the fire. The poor fellow coaid not get to
the burning pants; he could not torn loose,
nor pu 11 up h ts legs to pot out t be fire. For*
tunately, however, for bim, the next station
was only a snort distance, and the train soon
stopped. The darkey lost oo time in rolling
ont from under the" train and into the ditch
OB the side of the track, and succeeded in
potting out the fire. Hts pants were burned
nearly off, bat bia skin waa not much bort.
The New Opera House is the toast of.all the
theatrical people, who have visited Sumter
this season. They pronounce it unquestion?
ably tb* most complete,-t? *H its appoint?
ments, in the State. .Sumter is proud of the
Opera Housa and ts gratified to have it
praised.
There are some things that are difficult to
be understood. A member of one of the
largest firms of this city stated a day or two
ago that the cash sales of his firm during
October exceeded by more than a thousand
dollars tbe sales of tbe same month last year.
Where does the money come from in such
hard times.
Through tbe instrumentality of H. L. B.
. Wells, Esq , Attorney for Gary W. Mims,
j the young white man recently committed to
I jail by JJ. S. Commissioner S. A. Norris, in
default of $100.00 bqnd, bas furnished bond
I and been released. Mims is uoder indictment
? for knowingly and fraudulently passing
counterfeit coin and refusing to redeem the
same.
I LeGraod Davis, colored, swindled another
' colored man, one of Mr. W. F. B. Hay ns
j worth's tenants, out of tbe price of half a
bale of cotton. Davis induced the other man
to put in enoagb cotton with him to make
out a full bale, and after the cotton was
ginned and packed, Davis sold the cotton
and pocketed the whole proceeds and skipped
ont. He is supposed to have gone to Char?
lotte, N. C.
Thursday, Mr. Coben M. Brand met with
an accident that came near resulting serious?
ly. He was riding bis wheel on Main Street
sidewalk, on Jervey House side, and aa he
was passing the gate of Mr. C. T. Mason, an
express wagon was coming out of the yard.
Neither the driver nor Mr. Brand saw each
other, and the driver on the wagon drove
right over the wbeelmau. The horse struck
the wheel and rider and knocked them both
to the ground. The rider was scared more
than hurt, but bis bicycle was badly damaged
and bad to be taken to the shep for repairs.
The cheekiest man on record, for these parts
was released from jail Thursday. Warren
Smart, (colored) stole some corn from Capt.
R. A. Brand's field in October, and the
solea corn was found in his possession.
(Two bushels and a few ears. ) He waa taken
in band by some colored mea and made to
come up to the city, and was turned over to
Assistant Chief of Police A. H. Weeks, who
took bim before Trial Justice Wells. Smart
plead guilty and was sent to jail for thirty
day s. He served bis full time, and when be
was released be went to Mr. Weeks and
demanded the corn that be bad stolen, claim?
ing that aa be bad served his sentence tbe
cora now belonged to him. Weeks of course
did not take this view of tbe matter and the
darkey was grievously disappointed. Mr.
Weeks sent tbe corn back to Capt. Brand's
place as soon as be received it, one month
?go.

j RAILROAD MAGNATES IN THE
CITY.
Our Citizens Take Them m Hand
and Point Out the Advantages
of the City.
Mr. Hunt, President of the 3 C's Railroad,
and Messrs. Simon Maher, Coilyer, Loeb,
Jackson and others, a party of ten, fron
Philadelphia, arrived in the city Sunday
night in President Hunt's private car.
Monday morning they were driven over the
city, so that they might see what advantage
it wouid be to their road to have a connec?
tion with Sumter.
They left after the drive for Camden and
other points on the 3 C's, which road they
will thoroughly inspect, with the view of
extending and improving ibe road. These
gentlemen represent the Trust and Construc?
tion Companies, which furnished the money
to pay off the indebtedness of the road and
take the road out of the hands of the receiver.
Hon. Altamont Moses accompanied them
on their trip, at their urgent invitation,
althongb he declined at first, on account of
business engagements.
Messrs. Altamont Moses and W. Y. L. Mar?
shall, who accompanied the president and
director* of the 3 C's road to Camden on
Monday, returned yesterday. They had A
very pleasant trip, and, of course, did not
neglect the opportunity to place before the
visitors the many advantages that Sumter
possessen over other places, both as a railroad
center and as a field for investment.
The party spent the afternoon in Camden,
and from there went on up the 3 C's road.
They return direct to Philadelphia, where
they will arrive the latter part of the week.
The gentlemen who composed the party
were : Charles Hunt, President ; J.J. Collier,
Secretary and Treasurer, and John Gold
tbwatth, T. S. Jackson and A. B. Loeb,
Directors of the Ohio River and Charleston
Railroad {the new 3 C's) ; Charles Lei per,
President of the Philadelphia Investment
Company ; and H. M. Howe, Simon Maher
and C. E. Hiller, of the Finance Company
of Philadelphia
There is uo question but tba: these gentle?
men who control the 3 C 8 route are anxious
to build through to Sumter and thus com?
plete this rmi of the road, for they so stated
to Messrs. Moses and Marshall. They desire,
however, that Sumter shall tnke a substantial
interest in the Work, either by privat? sub?
scription or by subscriptions.of townships or
municipal bonds. If the road is built the
men who famish the money desire some as?
surance that the road will have the friend?
ship and support of Sumter.
Old H osa Sale.
The Old Hoss Sale, or better perhaps, t he sale
at auction of undelivered express goods, took
place at the Coort House Saturday. There
was a very large pile of packages, and boxes,
and bundles offered and bid off at ridiculous
low prices. One large, wooden box which
weighed about 118 lbs., looked like a
regular bonanza was put up for sale. It was
started off at 15c and finally knocked down
to a colored mao for 80c, a great many
seemed to think that the purchaser
"Strock it," bot when the box was
taken dowo it was seen through the
cracks of the cover that it contained only a
lot of soiled. and very cheap second band
clothing, pots and tinware. The purchaser
however, can ose the articles to advantage
and got bis money's worth. After this
catch, the suckers bit slowly, as it was a
cloody day.
A number of other articles were pot op
such as books, clot bini, printed matter etc.
Some of the parcels sold were taken away
without being opened. There was a large
crowd and considerable foo, laughter and
jokes. Occasionally as some single yoong
or old person woold bid off a parcel that
turned out to be an article of clothing pecu?
liar to the opposite sex, the crowd woold set
op a yell and guy the purchaser, who woold
regret the folly of purchasing a "pig io the
bag." Some good bargains were secured,
however, in the .shape of books and other
articles of a usefufnature." T^n fact all of the
goods sold were bought cheap. Mr. J. E.
Jervey was the auctioneer, and Mr. J. M.
Spann, express agent, represented the Com?
paq. _
