sale along tbe line of the M. & A. road and
it is thought that tbe lots will bring fair
pri?es. Attention is directed to their adver?
tisement io this paper.
Mote cotton bas been bought in Sumter this
asasoo tb! n op to the same date last year, but
the receipts are begin ni og to fall off, and it is
said that little or oo cotton remains in the
fields. It is a safe prediction to make, how?
ever, that Sumter will hold her o wo as a cot?
ton market.
As Greenville bas tbe same system of water
works that Sumter bas, sod a good prsssore
e* n be secured, thereby guaranteeing a quick
flow of water through the boee and conse?
quently faster time. Suppose tbe contest
" between toe Independents, of Colombia and
, Delgar reel squad of Sumter, be polled off io
Greenville. Then there won't be any trouble
or delay in getting water through the nozzle,
no lost time and no kink in toe bose,' as was
experieoceed io Columbia.
Mr. W. L.. Saunders, of tbe Palmetto
Stock Farm, bas returned from Charleston's
F* li Festival very mach disgusted with tbe
treatment he and other horsemen from be?
yond toe city limits received. He carried
dowo a horse to enter for the purse races, bot
when be arrived, learned that tbe unheard of
precedent bad been established of closing the
entries on Tuesday morning before tbe races
oo Wednesday, whereas it is the custom, of
tbe force of a rule from long standing, to per?
mit en tries oo the oight preceding the race.
No notice of tbe fact that entries would be
closed was given until Sunday previous to the
races, when it was published in the Sunday
News. Mr. Saunders' having no idea that ?
special roles would be adopted for Charles?
ton's parse races, that would exclude ali
but Charleston horsemen, took bis horse
down and bad the expenses there and back
to pay tor bis pains.
It bas been suggested that tbe city of Sum?
ter should bave a regular city detective. A
'mao to do nothing else bot ferret out crime
aod robberies. A policeman cannot be io
cambered by bis duties as an officer oo a cer?
tain beat, at certain boors and run down
criminals as successfully as a man whose
t whole time is devoted to this business. Of
course some'very fine work bas been done and
a great deal of it by our efficient policemen,
bot they cannot walk a beat and catch thieves
at the same time. As an instance, when
Assistant Chief Weeks told Messrs. Mims and
Winn to go back into the swamp the oigbt '
they were after Roy, tbe subsequent events
showed tbat be knew Roy to be the thief, but
be was due oo duty at one o'clock
tu m., and bad to leave. Now, if
Assistant Chief Weeks could have stayed
out there, he would have no doubt captured
Roy and saved all of this subsequent sensa?
tion, trouble aod expense.

MARRIED.
The marriage of Miss'MUT Bossard and
Mr. Percy Smith, of Georgetown, last even
iog was the most notable event that bas oe
enrred in social circles of this city this season.
The Presbyterian Church WHS thronged lone
before 5 o'clock, tin? hoar fixed for the cere?
mony. The entire church WHS tastily deco?
rated with Smilax vines, palms and a pro?
fusion of potted plauts. The columns sup?
porting the galleries and the chandeliers were
twined with the graceful Smilax, and the
altar was hidden in a bower of palms and hot?
house plants.
The Wedding March-Mendelsohn's-was
played on the violm by Mr. John Moran, HC
companied by Mr David Winn on the organ.
The ushers Messrs. E. M Wilson, R L.
Cooper, E. 0. Ingram and Fraser, two in

stood at the side of the bride during the cere?
mony The bride's maids came in two at a
time followed by two gentlemen, they crossed
in front of the pulpit, and ranged themselves
in a half circle on either side of :he pulpit.
The bride who came in on the strm of ber
father, wore a beautiful costume of white
satin, en train. The bridesmaids wore em?
pire costumes of white organdie with ribbon
trimmings Each one carried a bouquet of
yellow chrysanthemums.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. N.

siveness.

CAPT. W. R. DELGAR.
A Prominent And Useful Citizen
Passes Away.
The death of Capt. W. R. Delgar Monday
night removed from Sumter a man, who for
than twenty years has been one of the city's
most prominent citizens, and one who was
throughly identified with the growth and
development of the city.
Capt Delgar served both as Warden and
intendent when Sumter was under the town
government, and since 1890 has been an
Alderman of tfie city of Sumter. For many
years be was Chief of the Fire Department
and under bis supervision the old hand
engines fought many a battle with fire.
Capt. Delgar was born in Colleton Coun?
ty, S. C., November 25, 1842, and spent his
early life in the low coo? try and io the city of
Charleston. At the beginning of the war be
joined the Palmetto Guards and was stationed
on Morris Island until the fall of Fort Sum?
ter. He remained with the Guards, which
were subsequently organized into ac artillery
company, throughout the war. He was a
gallant soldier and was io many of the great
battles of the war.
At tbe close of the war he returned to
this county, and in 1865' was married to Miss
Margaret T. Sanders, wbo, with three chil?
dren, survives him. For several years be en?
gaged in planting on Rai ting Creek, until be
removed to this city about twenty-two years
ago to engage in mercantile life. This en?
gaged bis attention for a number of years
until bjs was appointed Auditor of Sumter
County in 1882, which office be filled until
about the beginning of 1890 when he re?
signed to take the position of Soliciting
Agent for the Charleston, Sumter and North
ern R. R He was one of the moving spirits
in the organization of the Sumter Light
Infantry aod was one of the first captains.
The funeral services were held in the
Church of the Holy Comforter this morn?
ing at ll o'clock.
The locomotives of the A. C. Line Rail?
road are draped in mourning, as a mark of
respect to the late well-known and prominent j
official William T. Walters who died at his I
home in Baltimore last week. .
. The November term of the United States
Circuit Court, for tbe District of South Caro?
lina, convened at Columbia Monday. A num?
ber of witnesses from Sumter weot over this
morning.
Messrs. E. E. Rem bert, R. L. Wright, D.
China and I. C. Strauss, took the degree of
Esquire, in the lodge of Knights of Pythias
Monday night.
Mr. Willie Boltman, one of Sumter's
fastest riders, distinguished himself at the
bicycle races in Charleston this week by
winning two prizes. He vron first prize in a
mile race, and second prize in a half mile
beat. Hurrah for Billy. He's a rattler.
Gus Richards, a young white man, was
arrested Saturday upon a warrant from Trial
Justice Wells for violation of Dispensary
Law, having contraband whiskey in bis pos?
session. The whiskey was found in bis
truck. He was given a bearing before Jus?
tice Wells and in default of $300 bond was
committed to jail.
A runaway mule, attached to a wagon, on
Liberty Street, Thursday afternoon, caused a
little excitement. The animal was stopped
at the corner of Main and Liberty Streets,
and no damage was done. The same stub?
born mule was brought back to where be ran
from, and had the cheek to run away again
but was caught once more without doing
damage.
The case of Bella Lewis, colored, indicted
for rescuing stock from J. W. Gamble, which
be had taken up for trespass, under the
Stock Law, came up before Trial Justice H.
L. B. Wells, Thursday. The evidence show?
ed the taking ot' the stock without permission,
and the circumstances to have been very ag?
gravating. She was found guilty and fined
$4 or fifteen days in jail. The fine was paid.
This is perhaps the first case for an offense
of this kind in this sectioo, and establishes
the precedent that persons cannot take the
law in their own bands, and that when your
property is damaged by other people's stock,
you can secure redress through the law.
SAM JONES.
Sam Jones lectured l?st Wed nef day night on
"How to Get There and Stay There!" His au?
dience was an object lesson showing how to get
there, and the reluctance with which they
heard him briDg bis hour and a quarter talk
to a close proved that he has learned how to
keep a crowd when he has them before him.
When Mr. Jones came on the stage he was I
accompanied by Rev Dr. Edmunds, Rev T. !
G. Herbert and Mr. R. 0. Purdy. Dr. j
Edmunds offered a brief prayer, and Mr. I
Jones was then introduced by Mr. Purdy, j
who said that be could not introduce the I
speaker as "of Georgia" because he now
belonged to the country at larg*?, and there i
waa not now a place so remote in all the
country where Sam Sones is unknown.
The speaker took bold of the audience from
the start in his characteristic way, and there
was net * moment when the interest flagged.
To outline or describe his lecture is im?
possible. To hear it was to be interested,
amused and made to thuik seriously. The
humor and sUog merely Siled in the spaces
between tbe chunks of facts that came one
after another from his lips. Society, politics,
the greed for money, the whiskey evil, lying,
cowardice, physical and moral cowardice,
bigotry, and laziness were handled with
gloves off. He told many serious truths con?
cerning the condition ot the country in
his humorously exaggerated style, and these
truths will stick long in the memory of his
hearers mainly by virtue of tbe flavor and
snap that is decidely Jonesque. Many who
heard him last night for the first time wete
surprised that they heard no more slang, and
that that beard was so unobjectionable. Sam
Jones made an impression decidely favorably
in Sumter and it will be many days before
bis sayings will cease to be quoted.

within a few moments the fire was under
control.
The fire started from the stove in the dining
room and spread to the mantle pi?ce, and the
walls. The flames bad not gotten beyood
