Reardon Monday night, j and Emmett is cow a full fledged Knight of I Pythias and knows a good thing when be j sees it. j There is a corner in wood and one-horse j loads are now selling at one dollar each instead of fifty'cents. Ail of the wood ; haulers have not taken advantage of the j necessity of those who need wood, and are! selling at the regular prices. . Hause breakers attempted to enter the resi- ! dence of Mr. W. F. Rbame on Sunday night, bat failed. They attempted to force the kitchen window, but evidently found it too strong for the tools they had, and desisted. Eggs are being brought to town in abun? dance, and the prices are dropping in con? sequence. For a time it seemed as if the hens had gone on a strike, but the strike is now orland omeletts are in ordef. Capt- D. E. Keels, Chairman of the Coon- j ty Executive Committee, is preparing to issue ! a cali for ? meeting in accordance with the recommendations of the Irby Committee. The ! call for the meeting will be issued at once. ! The plumbers are having ?. pic nie this ; winter. For the third time a bard freeze has come down upon the town and the water i pipes have broken in all directions. As soon as the thaw seta in the plumbers will be rushed with work. Manager Schwerin star.e9 that he bas ap- j plied to the police to keep drunken men out of the Opera House, and that lie has all along ! done his utmost to protect his audience from annoyance by rowdy and disorderly cbarac- , ters. It has been too cold for our local Chief 1 Justice, H.L.B. Wells, Esq., to have any cases before him. and in consequence, the ? public is deprived of the edifying pleasure j of reading that Primus Black, or some other j dishonest son of Afric's sunny land, was before His Honor for purloining a pig that otherwise might have won one of the Newt and Courier1* prizes. The cold wave struck Sumter with full force last Thursday night. Before 5 .o'clock io the afternoon the temperature had fallen below the freezing point and by dark the ground was as crisp aa pie crust under foot and the wind was as cold and piercing as if filled with splinters blown off the north pole. At 10 o'clock the mercury had fallen to 12 degrees above zero, w ith the wind blowi g briskly from the northwest. At 12 o'clock the mercury stood at 10 degrees above zero, and the temperature still grew colder. Friday morning at 7 o'clock several thermometers registered 7 degrees abcve zero, while others went even lower. At 8 o'clock the tempera? ture bad moderated slightly, and the ther? mometer registered 10 degrees above zero. Several of the large panes of glass in the show windows of the stores were cracked by the severe cold last week. The beat within the stores caused a great deal o ? moisture to condense on the glasses, which freezing caused the glasses to cr%ck. Nearly every window in town was covered with H thick coating cf frost and it is remarkable that more damage was not done. The oat crop bas been severely injured by the freeze during the ?as? three days, and it is feared that in some localities the entiie crop .rss been killed. There is no question about the crop being cut off, and even the fall oats will have a very thin stand. A great deal of the oat crop was planted in bottom land, which was flooded by the heavy ruins prior to the freeze, and wherever this was the case, there i3 little possibility that the oats will revive.

The bride is also a residrnt of this city, and bas a host ot friends, who unite io wishing the joung couple the happiest ot happy lives. Mr. Thos. V. Walsh, Jr., of this city and Miss Kathleen Barden, of Fayetteville, N. C., were married at 3 o'clock Feb. 6th, at the residence of the bride's parente in Fayette? ville. The bridal party arrived in this city j last night, and a reception was held for them ! at the residence of Col. j\ V. Walsh. A large j number o? friends of the groom were prefect ! to welcome his bride to Sumter A very : pleaasoterening was spent beneath the hos? ! pitable roof of Col. T. V. Walsh.

He was attending court, as a witness in the murder case of Gardner. He wa3 well known iti this county as bis home WHS. not far from Bishopville. The Medical Association. Friday was the date for the recular quar- j terly meeting of the Sumter County Medical j Association, but the meeting was not held, owing to the absence of a quorum. None of the members from other parts of the county were present, no doubt finding impossible to come on account of the bitter cold. Those who were present could do nothing except decide to postpone the meeting until the Strcond Friday in March. Regular notice will be sent members of the time of meeting. -^??-? i ? i mm Mt. Zion Baptist Church The anniversary meeting ot Mt. Zion \ Baptist Church, which was to be held on last j Thursday nicht was postponed on account of' the blizzard.

Rhame, j while out hunting last Saturday in Turljey j Creek Swamp, accidentally got shot in the j leg. He wa9 walking along with Genie Wilder, Genie having the gun under his arm, ! when i* was discharged. The load took effect in the leg just above the heel, inflicting j a very painful wound. He is not in any ! danger, but will be unable to walk for j some time. R. 0. Purdy, Esq., is still at hard work i taking testimooy in the Johnston-Stokes con- | gressional election contest. He is visiting various election precincts tn the couotv, and at each place a great many witnesses are ! examined. W. T. Andrews, Esq., colored, ; is ecting as notary and takes down the testi mony for Capt. Johnston. So far there have ; been no sensational or startling develop- : ments. The testimony of the witnesses has i been of the usual character. Most of them I complain that they were not permitted to I cast their ballots on account of irregularities io their registration certificates or from other causes. The marriage of Mr. Baker and Miss David Thursday afternoon is said to have been rather unexpected to the families of the young people. Mr. Baker called to take Miss David driving, and she hesitated at first about going, on account of the cold. She decided to go, however, and when they returned they announced to Mrs. David that they had made up their minds to be married and had been to the Methodist parsonage, where Rev. Mr. Daniel had performed the cememony. The newly married couple went at once to Mr. Baker's home in the country. This is the third marriage in which members of the same families were the contracting parties Two of Mr. John Baker's brothers have mar? ried two of his wife's sisters. The Catholic Aid Society of St. Lawrence Church shipped on Tuesday seven boxes of clothing to Charleston to be sent to the Nebraska sufferers The members of the Society met with a very liberal response to the request for contributions, nearly every j one giving something in the name of charity. The Society desires to express to che public : the hearty appreciation thut is felt, and to thank those who assisted them in making up 1 the contribution for the people of Nebraska. It would be impossible to thank each one in person, so The [tem has been requested to as? sure one and all that the'ladies who solicited the contributions are deeply grateful for the support their efforts received from the people of the city. The Board of Commissioners for Sumter township after inspecting the Cane Savannah road has derided that the only way in which it can be made passable for public travel, is to change the line of road so that it will skirt the savannah on Dr. China's place, above high water mark, lt would C?;t not less tnan $500 to drain the savannah and make the present road nassable, and the town bhip board now hss a petition before it to change the road to skirt the savannah. The change will be made as soon as the procedure prescribed by law can be complied with. The Trial Justice court Wednesday eve? ioc was occupied in hearing the case of Ducster & Bultmao vs J. H. Christmas, for the recovery of a mule. The case WHS tried before a jun . nnd a verdict was giver, ir. tn vor oi Ducker & Bultman. The trial was at times rather hu? morous, and his Honor had to threaten io clear the room to Ke>-;. order. The de? fendant endeavored to prove that the mule tn question was too valuable *<> be disposed ot by a trial justice's court, and, in support oi this claim, ?aid that the mule was a fast ani? mal, a very fast road trotter, that heculd trot a mile in four minutes, and if he could DOI trot the mile in four minutes, he would get t'iere justis soon *3 he could, his claim vi^as not allowed, however, and hereafter that t r'Vj? ? t i t.* tr mule will get there as soon as he om for Ducker & Bullman. j COL. DARGAN A CANDIDATES T'ttc Freeman contaioed 'hf following au Houticem?nts i ci lust Friday's issue : To I fi p. People : Nor. Mt the "solicitation of numerous friends," but solely bec?use I believe my candidacy, at this time, will result in helping along tlie cause of good popular goveromeni in South Carolina, I announce myself in the race for a seat in the coming Constitutional Convention. I shall appear for no party, faction, race or sex. I staod for ti unjan rights and simple justice to all. with a mind opeo, I trust, for the reception of troth from any quarter. 1 shall be delighted io obtain for opponents of my views fullest opportuuitv to expose their unsoundness un evtry platform,. or in. any paper that they may appear. Respectfully, j Jons J. DARGAN The announcement of Col. Dargan's can? didacy was somewhat of a surprise, to mots people, as it has been thought ?int Cid. Dar? gan wa? out of politics. However, as a dele- - gate to the Constitutional Convention cannot he classed as a political office in the accepted meaning of the term, he cannot be said to have re en'ered the political field as a candi? date for office As stated iu his announce-, ment, Col Durban will make the contest as : an independent caudidate, independent of all j factions and mees. It goes without saying j thrtt Col. Dnrgan will make an aggressive and lively campaign. Coiouel John J. Dargan requests that the ' announcement ?ie made that he will speak in ! the Court House on Friday u>ght at 8 o'clock, j The Court House will be comfortably heated, i anr the public is i ti vi ted to t>e present.

February 12th, 1895 --wm- ? The Opera House Matter. Manager J. A. Schwerin Gives Up j the Opera House. Messrs. J. A Schwerin & Co, lessees of j the Opera House on Friday afternoon noti- j fied the City Council through their Attorney, Lee & Moise, that ?hey would surrender the I lease of the Op?*ra House. It was agreed after consultation that the surrender of the j lease should luke effect OH April 1st. The reasons given by the lessees for their action are that the inadequate arrangements for healing the building .have caused them heavy losses dining 'he'present season, and that the losses will continue as long as the j present arrangements continue. They esti- j mate thnt the loss on Thursday night was ; not less than $150 and probably more, hence it would be an injustice io themselves j to continue a contract tnat caused ihem to | be subjected to such heavy iosses. The question of heating the Opera House | bas been more discussed than even the cold weather, and this is not to be wondered at '?? when the experience of Thursday night is con- ' sidered. There is no doubt about the present ! arrangement being a failure as far as heating the Opera House is concerned, for there WHS scarcely any perceptible difference in the ? temperature outside and icy atmosphere with? in. Manager Schwerin says that be tarted the fires in the forn?cea at 7 o' ' ? psday morning and kept them going .ay and Doti] the play was over, and that it is Btterly | impossible to heat the building so ns to ren der it comfortable with the present furnace and the present arrangement of the buildiug. | The arrangement of the entrance to the Opera House is such that there is no means to keep out a draft from the front, which ? sweeps across the .house and stage. This : is more perceptible Mnd more uncomfortable when the curtain is raised than at auy other j time. The opeu front also permits the heat within to escape almost as rapidly as it is! generated. It is absolutely necessary, if the Opera House is to be used as a place of amusement ? and entertainment, that some measures be taken to make it confortable. If other heat- j iog apparatus is needed, it should be sup plied ; it the front entraoce is responsible, as [ some claim, something should be done to re- I medy the defeat. The public will not submit to being frozen, even to have the pleasure of' witnessing the very best plays. The City Council, Architect Turner and Contractor McKeiver made a thorough in? spection of the Opera House Friday after? noon, and then had a full discussion of the ! whole matter. Architect Turner said the heater now in , use is not large enough to beat the building, and that even with a larger beater, it would be necessary to keep the fires running for twenty-four hours before a performance io order te have the building comfortable. Contractor McKeiver said that be had ob? tained the advice of an expert from Wilming? ton, X. C , before putting in the heater, and that he was assured that the No 3 heater | now in use would furnish sufficient heat to I make the house thoroughly comfortable He . offered to take out the heater and put in a | Xo. 5 heater, the largest made. This will be | done at once. It was decided also, that the open transom ! above the entrance shall be closed with glass, and the doors at the entrance shall be made closer to keep out the drafts that now sweep I across the house and make it so exceedingly uncomfortaole. Council will use every exertion to have the detects in the building remedied and have it made comfortable. It will be a difficult mat- ' ter to accomplish this, however, as the design of the building seems tb preclude the possi- ' bility of comfort during cold weather unless steam radiators should be put up in various parts of the building to distribute the heat. To put in steam heaters would require a large expenditure of money and considerable time. It is estimated that not less than Si,500 would be needed, which is more than the city can afford. This idea may not be correct, however, and when the new and larger heater has been put In it may be found that it will work satisfactorily, lt is to be hoped that the new heater will be a success, for the city has already expended a great deal of money building and equipping the Opera House, and it would be a great disappointment to the public to have H building unavailable on ac? count of so trifling a defect. The Henrietta. Stanrl Robson preserjied Henrietta to a lair audience Thursday night, and those who were present were ail delighted, tor it was o^e of the t>es' plays that has ever been ^'iven in Sumter. Mr. Robson is n great comedian, >i:ni ? i m Ii H? H company of nr'is.;? to support hun. The piny itself deserves ali that has been said commendation cf it. Th?.- bitter cold kept many away, and trio?*- present suf? fered intensely, for ?t was scarcely less cold within the (. ?pera House than i' was outside;. The players came on the stage ? rip-, MHO the audience kept their wraps and overconts on, and wished for more. A number left before the performance was hait through, and the tact that so many remained in their seats until the final curtain was the highest com? pliment that an audience could tone paid ant play or any actor. lt is to be boped that Mr. Robson will visit this city again when the weather is more favorable. He will then be greeted by a j packed house, suchas he deserves at all times, j Snow in the State. Tue :-:.(.\v rtmui Mocdav V.?S general i h ron ghoul the Stale. In Vork.
