Have the contests boys, right ulong if you want to. * The cotton platforms and sheds at the A.

The Sumter Institute and St Joseph's A cad- I erny both eave holiday Friday in honor of Washington's birthday. The school run! by the faculty of the Graded School was in ! session. I Deigar Reel Squad has appointai a day for ? the proposed contest with the Independent j Squad of Columbia, and the Independents | will either h**e to come to time now or take water. A crowd collected on the Court House Square Monday afternoon to hear a sermon by an old second Adventist. He spoke for about a half hour, in relation to the beliefs entertained by the members of the sec*. The automatic drainer in the Graded School cellar is beginning to make headway ! against the water, and the 'evel of the water j bas been reduced about three inches during the past two days. Col. John J. Dargan will deliver the third speech in the series he proposes to make in : prosecuting his candidacy as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, on the Court ; House Square next Monday about the hour of noon. ? The residence of Ex-Secretary of State | James E. Tindal, of Clarendon County, was ; burned Sunday about one o'clock. No ; particulars can be obtained, but the fire is said to have been of accidental origin. A ; portion of the furniture was saved. The bouse was partially covered by insurance. j An engineering corps of the Atlantic Coast Line passed through Friday and went out j on the Manchester & Augusta Road It is ' reported thit :he route of an extension to connect the M. & A., and C. S. & N., will i be surveyed from Cameron station to El loree. There are ether reports current in respect to | the plans of the Coast Line, but none have sufficient reliability to merit publication. The Michiganders are rather rare visitors ; ihtse days. But they always attract more, than a passing glance. Their heavy shoe? with, soles filled with spikes, their kt:ee pants and worsted stockings and general toughness . in appearance lend a picuresqueness to .hem I that is foreign to this section. The rugged negri?, a creature peculiarly southern, and 'he Canadian iog-walker form a striking con? trast. The North and South are met in these two extremes. A crowd can gather as quickly on Main Street as any place the writer has ever seen Friday afternoon there was a rush and jam around Hovt's Jewelry Store, everyone eager to learn the cause of a pistol report from that direction. It was learned that a Michigander, who had come up from the San tee had filled up on dispensary and was fooling with bis pistol while in Hoyt's store : and dropping it cause it to discharged. No damage was done, but there was considerable excitement for a few minutes. The entire family of Mr. Eugene Hogan was taken ill Tuesday last, with no apparent cause, and it was thought from the symptoms that they had been poisoned None of them were dangerously iii, and had almost entire-j ly recovered Thursday the entire family were again stricken down, but have recover? ed. It is not known wheiher the poisoning was accidental or not, or by what means it became mixed with the food or drink of the amity. Somct itif ago Mr. Choen, the electrical inspector or the South-eastern Tariff Asso? ciation visited this city for the purpose of inspecting tiie electric light system in its re? lation to the fire risks of the city. He h-.s recently made his report, and in it he says that he found the arrangements in Sumter pe: feet. A report cf this character is Seldom m-ide, and it is a high compliment to the manager of the Sumter Electric Light Com? pany. The Sheriff has had a warrant for Sara Howard, colored, for mortgaging property that he did not own to several parties, for sometime Wednesday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Gaillard learned that Howard was in town and went after him. Howard was in O'Donnell's back lot, but he had his weather eye peeled fer law officers and discovered Mr. Gaillard before Mr. Gaillard saw him. Howard set out up Republican street with the Deputy in pursuit. The chase continued to the corner of Washington Street where Howard was captured by Messrs. Eugene Moses and W. J. McKagen. Howard pre? tended to be suprised that he should be arrested for nothing more serious than mort gagiog property to Mr. Kingman and several other persons, but surprise was not the thing to secure his release, and he was turned over to Jailer Windham for stte keeping. Friday night Chief of Police Bradford and S. F. Hurst located down in Red and White row Gus Stanley, the negro who shot Police? man Gallagher a couple of weeks ago. They made short work of arresting him, and soon had him in jail. Stanley s-t himself up as something of a terror and made l-oasts that he would not be arrested by any one. He has kept out of the reach ot the officers until Fri? day night, although he has sent word to them what he would do if the attempt to arrest him was made. This night he made a visit to <Kie ot bis women friends down in Red and White and fell into the hands of the police tor his rashness. He submitted without the least resistance, and his reputation a? r.< ir?^ a bad E^gro is go ri?' ??III- - WMm i "Hali a span of angry steel" will produce no more tata! results than a neglected cold or cough.

Delgar and Monaghan Reel Squads have prepared a petition to ttie Board of Firem?s ters asking tt:at the Board recommend the C'ty Council to increase the ap;iropri*tion to thesesqtmds for the purpose of properly equip? ping them for service. Jimmie Sw iuton, a negro boy around town, ; who has be^n in many scrapes, was arres'ed Monday with a fine pair of children's shoes ; 10 his possession. La'er it was learned that \ the shoes were stolen from Lt vi Bros, and : Jimmie was put in j-ul. Wm. F. Harrison, col'd, wns arrested Mon- j day night for attempting io kill his wife. He shot at her with a revolver, and the noise at? tracted the attention of the police, who im? mediately arrested him for shooting within the city His wife then lodged a complaint of assault and battery with intent to kill. The cond ition of the sidewalks is a subject ot continual complaint hy the bicycle riders, and in a great many instances the complaints are just and reasonable. Ditches are dug across the sidewalks and left open for weeks a tit ame. When bridges are put down, more often than otherwise, they are several inches bisher than the surface of the ground. The wheelman are kicking in consequence and ask for fe def. The case of Mr. W Barron Holmes was taken up in the Mayor's Court last Thursday and disposed of. Mr. Holme3 who is the travelling representative of Walker, Evans & Cogswell, was arrested several weeks ago for soliciting orders for stationery and job work, and selling books to consumers in violation of the license ordinance of the city. Mr ! Holmes was represented by M*j. Moise, and the city hy Mr. R. O Purdy, tbe citr Attor Dey. After considerable argument the Maj or i decided to dismiss the case, with the under? standing that if Mr. Holmes returned he will j have to pay the license required by thc ordi nance or suffer the consequences. A negro man went into the grocery store of L. W. Joye l?st week and bought five cents v orth of cheese and crackers. Taking a ^eai on a turrel be proceeded to dispose of his purchase in the customary manner. When he had finished the first lot he invested another n;ckel in the s*me way. This dis? posed of he, rem?; ned sitting on the barrel, but in a tVw minutes a clerk noticed that he 1 was lying acro?s two narr?is with hi3 head ? down in another. At first be was thought to be asleep, but soon he was discovered to be unconscious. He was placed on the floor, ; apparently dead, but after being rolled over a few times he roused up and beean to | apologize for going to sleep on the floor. Every one in lhe store wm rather badly i rightened at first, thinking that the services ! of Coroner Commander would be needed The question now is : What was the matter with that negro ? Abbie Owens, a negro woman from Pri? vateer was brought to town Thursday and . commited to jiil as a lunatic, and was to have . been examioed this morning by 1 he physi- j cians. She has been in a demented condi? tion for several weeks and has made repeated : iffor's to throw herself in the fire and to drown herself Two reputable citizens of the ] neighborhood made application for her arre.-t as a lunatic, and the papers were sent to the Superintendent of the Asv lum for approval.: It sterns that her husband went to Florida to pick oranges in the fall, and she had worked herself into a hysterical condition about his failure to return He returned last night to find that his w ife had been taken up as a luna? tic and committed toj-til. He carne to town mis morning to investigate the matter and was permitted to visit the woman in the jail. Siie was apparently perfectly sane, and . Judge of Probate Walsh, after talking with the woman, decided that she was not crazy j and therefore set her free The return of her ; husband restored her ?o her senses. Dr. D. H. Mann, of New York, Right Worthy Grat.d Chief Templar cf the World1 1 lectured toan overflowing audience in the Methodist Cb arch Sunday nigh: He spoke of tMiiperance from a physiological standpoint, and succeeded admirably in interesting his hearers KI a subject "hat is generally sup? posed to be dry and wearisome. He spoke for more than an hour without losing the close attention of his hearers, and in that time he imparted a great deal of information concerning the history of the temperance movement as well as the effects of strong drink upon the system. His remarks concerning the dispsnsary system of dealing willi the liquor evil were, perhaps, the most striking features cf the lecture. He said ?hat he was thoroughly satisfied after an investigation since he bas been in the State that tiie dispensary system tends to increase the consumption of liquor and will increase the number of drunkards. The dispensary systeru be believed to be worse than the high license system, for the partnership of the State in the evil traffic was closer and more intimate. The dispensary law msy oe the product of conservative, thiuking men, but it will not do, and they will find that they increase an evil instead of diminishing it. At the meeting of City Council Tuesday afternoon Cierk and Treasurer Hurst reporte;! the amount of taxes and licenses collected and uncollected up to the 10th instant, when '.hi- lime for payment expired. The amount collected from real estate wa3 S6.100 ; per? sonal property, S3,600 ; fur schools, 52,800; for school* bonds, $600; for city bonds, ?690; making a total of $13,880.

Licenses collected from April to September, when the new license ordinance went into effect, $181, An estimate of the cost of the Opera Huuse was also submitted, but it was not complete, as all of the bills were not in. 11 is learned from other sources that the Upera House will cost the city not less than $32,000 to $34,000, when all the bills have been audited and paid. Mr. W. V. L. Marshall appeared before the Council and asked aid for the purpose of securing a write-up of the city by the j Southern Tobacco Journal, to aid in placing the city before the country as a tobacco market and as the center ot a large tobacco growing section. -ii- ?? ? - Delays are dangerous.

As 'be proceeds are To be devoted to the building of a chapel at their Convent, it is to be hoped that the public will lit-eially patronize the dinner booth. A .lumber of pretty young ladies will be on hand to serve nr.als ard lunch, and this should be an addiuonal inducement to the gentlemen to turn out in full force. The Sisters of Mercy aie noted tor their kindness and charity at all times, and these good | christian ladies can depend upon it that their ! call for aid in this good cause will meet with i a hearty response. ?
