Lee Sing saw Ling drunk, but Ling was a nigger and Lee a Chinee, so they sang differ? ent songs. The blind tiger which walks abroad seek? ing whom be may comfort does not regard the snow at all. The bicycle season will open soon after the beginning cf the year, and Sumter will lead the State as usual. The case of the State against Peter Ander- j son for assault and battery was nol pros3ed at the hearing Friday morning. Judge Walls, the Trial Justice, since his reappointment and confirmation, wears an added dignity. The newly elected Sumter Dispenser Mr. T. W. Lee and his assistant Mr. James Baker, took charge of tbe Sumter Dispensary Monday. Jaaaary 1st, and the present Dispenser Mr. W. H. Epperson aod his assistant, Mr. J. Walter Dinkins, will retire. The Governor is receiving a number of ap? plications for positions on the Metropolitan Police Force, from a number of cities and towns in tbe State, tbe impression being prevalent that the Metropolitan law will be put into effect generally. The Books of Registration for the ensuing municipal election on January 29th for one Alderman, were opened to-day at the Clerk and Treasa er's OSce, and will be open for fifteen days. It is the duty of every citizen to register, and be prepared to cast his vote. It is particularly important for every demo? cratic voter to register. The persons who own the savannahs iti the vicinity of this city where the ducks coog'egate in the evenings have posteo their lands, and all persons who go then e to shoot, as has been the custom for years, are personally warned to keep off on pain of orosecution. It is rather strr.nge that these oersoos, who are said not to shoot ducks at all, should forbid shooting on the savannahs ; and some of the sportsmen are thinking of retaliating by presenting those persons to thc-Grand Jury for plowing np the public road right of way which passes through their MARRIED. Mr Frank Potts and Miss Beulah Penning? ton both of Magnolia, were married on t ue 19th instant. Mr. \Y. B. Phillips ?nd Miss Mims, of Lynchburg, were united in marriage on the 2is; instant. DEATH.

The irony of fate-n Keeley cure bottle with blind tiger liquor in it. Mr. E. IV. Hurst is building a two story house on Liberty Street, opposite the Monu? mental Square. Mrs. Mary Epperson mother of Alderman Geo F. Epperson, is having erected a hand? some two story residence on hwr ?ot on Main Street. A party of ladies and gentlemen indulged in the luxury of a sleigh ride Monday. Sleigh? ing was also indulged in by a party of gen? tlemen Saturday alternoon. Constables Sam Newman and S. J . Brown captured ten gall?os of corn whiskey in a box car at the A. C. L. depot Saturday. It was consigned to E. Rembert. Eastover, S C. So one man's New Year's toddy will be lacking. Richard Jones, colored, was before the Mayor Monday morning charged with using profane language and interfering with W. J Dawsey at his place of business on Liberty Street. He was fined ten dollars or twenty days on the street. Fine not paid. This is the man that Mr. Dawsey struck with a weight on Saturday for cursing. Mr. Daw? sey was not arraigned for trial before the | Mayor. The Mason Telephone Factory is now in shape to turn out telephones at a r?pid rate. 1 The addition to the main building has been completed, and a portion of the new ma? chinery ordered has arrived and hus been set up. It has been found necessary to r.uild a second addition to the Factory tn the shane of a wing to hold the machinery set to arrive. A large force of hands is at work and it looks ?ike business down that side About 6.30 p. m. Saturday afternoon the re aUrm sounded. A :rame nuil ding on Republican street, near ibe corner of Main, was on fire, but despite the snow and ice, the Sumter Fire Deptrtmen: responded promptly and soon extinguished the fire. Delgur No 3, Reel Squad, got first water on the fire Vey hide damage was done by fire, but the house was fioodrd with water. Had not the fire been {>rotnpr!y handled a disastrous [ conflagration would have been the result as the building is in the midst of a lot of oilier wooden bui.dings. Mary Shaw occupied the ; building as a restaurant. It was tough, work for the firemen righting ; the fire in tue cold and getting pocked with the wa'er, which froze as soon ?s it strucK them. Some of the firemen's clothing were a solid mass cf ice aod the cold must have beeu intense. The Sumter Fire Department had a splendid opportunity to test their grit; u?der trying circumstances, but as was fully expected of them they proved themselves fully equal to the occasion. Hurrah for Sumter's, wide awake and brave firemen. The large amount of cotton seed shipped I from Sumter County every fall is suggestive of the advantages of a cotton seed oil mil!. ; Where one price is received for that particular : product now, an oil mill would coin the : money to be turned over several times. There would be money for the seed, money , for tbe oil, money for fuel, money for labor, and the be3t of all, money kept at home. ; Will our people ever open their eyes? If manufacturers cat, make money out of cotton seed after purchasing it nere and giving two or three margins upon it and paying freight and other expenses incidental to the manu? facture of oil, could not a home enterprise make as much or more money with fifty per cent, less expense. Why don't some one con? sider and make a move? It is as plain as the nose on your face, and it does not take a large amount of money for a cotton seed oil plant. Wake up and keep money at borne, aod give our own unemployed work, and create a home market iorour home products. mmmt * ? - Harby & Co.

We persuaded them to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and they now recommend it with the j rest of us." 25 and ."<> cent bottles for sale | by Dr. A. J. China. THE COURT HOUSE. How it Will be Remodeled and Improved. The Sumter County Court Rouse will shortly undergo considerable much neecit-d improvements. It wiil be made larger, more : convenient and more comfortable; and, be? side;, security will be another important con? sideration. Under the present condition of the building, the books and records are entirely unprotected in case of fire Tbe ( ffices are too small nur uncomfortable and the court room should tie Urger, and neater. An outline only of the improvements con? templated will be giver; i:: this article, as r.o n-gular plan und specifications have bern adopted ?s yet. The extension of the Court House building as com'empiated, nil! consist ot an addition in thc rear of Court House. A two S'ory fire ; proof building will be erecied. The first i floor will connect with the Clerk of Courts' I and Probate Judge's offices, and on that floor 1 there will be built two large improved fire ' and burg ar proof steel vaults, about 18 by I 20 feet each, for the safe keeping of books, ? records eic. Inside these vaults there will be : among ether conferences, steel revolving , shelves, riles and tables. These additional rooms on the first floor will also give more room to tbe Clerk of Court and Probate Judge. The upper story of the addition will '? be made into jury rooms, and the present I jury rooms will be thrown >n!o the court] ! room, by taking out the partitions and the j court room, thus made considerably larger. The space now railed off for ihe jury seats, judge, bMrand court officers, will he moved ? ! further back, and more room and seats will ; j be nut in for spectators. It is also suggested j that the present plastering be taken down in the court room overhead, Hr.d that the court ; room be ceiled. All of the present old-time' windows, wiii be cut down nearer to the j floor, so that more Hght and air will be had i in the entire building. New sash and blinds will be pur in, M.nd the general appearance j and comforts of the building will be much 1 improved. Tbe outside of the building will . tie painted anda new s' vie front is expected to be put on There are other improvements ihat will be made, but at present they cannot be ascertained. The entire building, how? ever, wh>n completed will be a vast improve? ment on the present one, and will tie a great . deal more modern and comfortable, and se? cure. Five thousand dollars have been appro? priated for the renovation of the building, aud when completed. Sumter County will have as Convenient, roomy ami secure a court house as there is to ne found in the State The improvements have nee:i long needed and will t;e welcomed as "he present Court House ?nd accommodations h*ve been an eye-sore to the progressive and enterprising element o! Sumter County for wars. i The Cold Snap. The teceot cold speli will go on record as one of the severest in trie ''memory o' the oldest inhabitants.'- The snow commenced on Friday the 28th, about 9 o'clock, at d continued all day and during most of the j night. Water pifies and everything con? taining water froze up before night, ?nd on Saturday morning, the temperature was re- I ported by some ns ?ow as zero, while other reports put it at 4 to 8 degrees above zero. Saturday and Sunday moderated slightly : with an effort to thaw on Sunday afternoon - the thermometer indicating 36 about 3 p. ( m. Or; Sunday nigh:, however, another snow came down all night, and covered every? thing io the depth of 5 or 6 inches. The cold increased, and on Tuesday morning the thermometer registered 14 above zero at 9 o'clock While there bas been a slight ten? dency towards moderation, there has not been j enough to thaw the ice, and this morning the temperature is still six degrees below freezing, with indications of another snow, or rain. A great many pipes throughout the city were bursted by the freeze. The public drinking fountains and all of j the pumps were frozen. Many people had to resort to melting snow to obtain water for j driuking and cooking purposes. In some stores whole bunches of bananas; were frozen as hard as rocks, and presented a | petrified appearance. A water pipe burst in the Simonds Nation- ' al Bank Saturday and caused the floor to be rather damp in there for a few hours Another pipe burst in Probate Judge T. V. Walsh's office some time between Saturday1 night and ^Monday, a?d flooded 'he floor. '?? The Judge bad to move ir to an adjoining of fice temporarily. Street Commissioner W. A. Tribble adopt- ! ed a new method for clear ?og the fro- i z*-n snow from the sidewalks. He attached one hundred feet of hose to the hydrants and played streams of water on the hard snow. The fresh warm water had the effect of dis? solving the snow, and a force of street hand? ; followed with shovels and hoes and quickly ! scraped off the snow and water before they could freeze again. By night the sidewalks I are likely to be clear of snow. A curious freak of nature was to be seen in ! one of the front show windows of the Dis? pensary The extreme cold caused the glass- I es to sweat and then freeze. The freeze transformed the moisture into a scene of tropic . beauty. Old winter traced a scene of; Florida luxurance with the blizzard's hand, j These were traced in as naturai shape a3 it is | possible to be painted cs canvass, pictures of. palmetto trees, live oaks, pine bushes, tall grass and toliage. ----.???- T-? An Observation Party. Miss Hattie Ryttenberg entertained a party of friends last Thursday evening at '. he resi? dence of her father, and the guests, one and all, spent a delightful evening. It was an ^Ob? servation Party," and one handsome young fellow, at least, was so busy watching the smiles and shadows in the lovely eyes of a fair young maid that he could remember none of the objects displayed for his observa? tion. He won the "booby" prize, and a ; "well done" from the maiden fair. Miss Ryttenberg is an ideal hostess, enter . taining with grace and tact, making each guest feel that he or she was peculiarly wel? come When the happy gathering dis? persed after midnight, it was the general feeling that those who were present had sipped the nectar from the flower of pleasure o r the holiday season. Dr. Shields, an eminent physician of Tee- . nessee, says : "I regard Ayer'S Sarsaparilla as the best blood-medicine on earth, and I j know of many wonderful cures effected by its use." Physicians all over the land have ! made similar statement. Real Estate Transfers. Sumter Township. W. H. ingram, Master, to Samuel Rich-: ards, guardian. 19 acres, price $235. E. W. Moise to L. N.
