A few more such days nod toe Ssh will*bite. Spring, lovely spriog bas come-aod we are all-tired already. A travelling man says tbat he counted a hundred tod seventeen new tobacco- bares in Darlington County These barns stand for about 685 acres of tobacco. The A. 0. Phelps Cb. removed Monday to the handsome Office fitted Opie the old quar? ters of the Simoads National Bank. Burglars entered the kitchen of Mr. DeWitt House on Saturday night and collected a lot of grocer!? W ??rry otf'witti' tiM?m, put Mr. House wad a waken d tn time to frighten them off empty-handed. ' Supervisor James was in bis office Monday registering voters who made application for certificates. There bas been a crowd around his office all day, and ninety-nine per cent, of the crowd were negroes. A great many of the clerks are anxious to attend tbe Marine Band Concert on Thursday afternoon, aod a movement is oo foot to pe? tition the merchants to close the stores for a couple ot hcur3 while the concert is io pro? gress. The Board of Assessors met yesterday to hear complaints from property owners whose retaros nave been raised. Of coarse those whose property bas been decreased itt violation bave the right to complain, bot it ia oot to He expected that many of this class will put in an appearance. A negro left the depot yesterday afternoon for Georgetown. He bad a motley collection of baggage, a specimen of whicb was a crocus sack, in which were stored two cur puppies and a pig. There is very little talk about the Sumter aod Camden Branch, of tbe Three C's R.R., these days-Likewise tbe tobacco warehouse Th?se things should be agitated aod kept alive. They give tone to bosioess discus? sions and are very important to Sumter. Schwartz Bros. and O'Donnell k Co., have pot in their places of business, what |:s known generally as the "cash and package railway system." By a mechanical device the salesmen in different parts of their stores can send their goods to a certaio place io the store where they will be wrayned up aod re? turned to them by the railway, and sent to the purchasers from the parcel office. The money fer the goods is conveyed by the same system to the cashier and change returned, and lots of walking is saved thereby. Work on the old C. S. & N. R.R. flat cars and box cars at the C. S. & N. yards, under the supervision of the Southern Rail? way Co., which has leased them, is progress? ing finely. Sumter men are employed, and the cara are put into 3ervice right here by the A. C. L., and will work their way to head? quarters in Atlanta, Ga. The cars require overhauling, aod the iron and wood work and painting and re-lettering will give work to a number of borne men for three or four months. A big burrrah and a bigger crowd and two reports of a gun on Liberty St. Thu.sday attracted tbe reporter's attention and drew bim from bis sanctum, thinking that some sort of a row was io progress io the vicinity of the dispensary. It was nothing more seri? ous than a guinea that had escaped from Bill Aodrews' coop. W. J. Dawsey did the shooting, aod oo tbe second sbet be brought the guinea dowe. At the request of a party of young meo, Dr. and Mrs. China gave the use of their parlors last Wednesday evening for what might be termed a Phonographic Concert. Quite a large num? ber of young meo and young ladies assembled there at 9 o'clock to bear the Phonograph give a selection of music, recitations, etc. For an hour aod a half the crowd was highly en? tertained, for tbe selections of both vocal aod instrumental music waa excellent. Tbe affair was entirely impromptu, baviog beeo arranged by a party of young men, aod was not in any sense an entertainment given by Dr. and Mrs. China. The appointment of Mr. Sheppard Nash, as Clerk of Court to fill out the unexpired term of Col. J. D. Graham was no surprise as be had been coosidered for several days as the leader io tberace. A great many, how? ever, were of the opinioo that Mr. E. M. Pitt stood the best chance aod be was the choice of a majority of the people of this city i as be is much better known here than Mr. Nash, baviog beeo raised within a few miles of the city and has always been a frequeDt visitor to the city. Mr. Nash, the I successful candidate, is a native of North i Carolioa and a graduateof Davidson College. < He came to Sumter County about eight or , ; ten year* ago to teach school at Elliotts. ; ' From there be removed to Bishopville and ! i taught with success for several years. He '? < was for a time editor or the Bishopville Xeu-s. ? ? For several years he has lived near Elliotts, ; < having given up teaching and devoted his i ' time to farming, ile married a daughter of [ t the late J. McD Law about six years ago and 1 has several children. Mr. Nash is qualified by education and natural ability to discharge * the duties of the clerk's office satisfactorily, and he will no doubt make a capable officer, j t MARRIED. Mr. Edward D. Fowler *nd Mis? Catherine Thompson, were married OM Thursday, March 28th, at Jackson Illinois Mr. Fowler will be remembered as a former resident of this city. He is a son of Mr. I. W. Fowler, at oue time the General Manager of the Charleston, Sum? ter aDd Northern Railroad. DEATH. Dr. O H. Green, Jr., of Booree, has met ; with a Sud bereavement in the death of his , vounge*t son. S*m Bovktn. The little iel- i low ?urned o*er a ketti- of boiling water and j scalded himself io badly that he lived only I two days. The remnins were carried to 0?ui- ; den for interment. Mr. William C. S Ellerbe. of Hagood. died j suddenly last Thursday night of heart failure, j He was one of the most prominent f-irmers of the upper Section of the county aud had a gre?t ? many frieuds who will regret to learn of his j sudden demise. He was about sixty-one or j two years old, and bad been in ill health for sometime. A family of a wife, several sons and daughters survive him. Mrs. Ellerbe is a sister jf-Mrs. J. D Graham of this city. Joe Levan bas removed from the Barnet; building to his old stHf.d on the Court House square. Don't forget that China's Soda was the best last Summer, and will be this Summer, and every other Summer. Mr. Thomas S. Drayton had a personal difficulty with Policeman Holman last Friday afternoon and was arrested in consequence. He resisted arrest and made an attempt to strike the officer with a stick, who drew his revolvpr on bim Just at this time Police? man Weeks arrived and succeeded in arrest? ing Mr. Drayton and putting and end to the row. A Card. Mr. T. S. Drayton desires to return his thanks to the Mayor and Council for their kindness to him in the Holman Drayton matter; and also to his m*?ny friends for the interest ?hey took in sectiri g bis release from custodv. George W. Murray in Sumter. A crowd of five Or six hundred negroes assembled on " the Court House square at 12 o'clock Monday to hear George W. Murray ?peak anent the Recitation Law Murray is endeavoring 'ror arouse the negroes to an -.merest'in the fight*he is mak? ing against the ?aw on constitution*! grounds, and to raise funds for prosecuting the fight to a termination; He spoke ai con? siderable length a nd-aroused: enthusiasm suf? ficient to bring forth* good ueai of cheering But whether be raised rhe wind in a finan? cial way the writer did nut itarn. Murray's 9pee?h was In line with those he bas delivered recently in o'ber biaces. He told the negroes that they are deterred of their rights and could never bope to have all the rights and privileges of citizens until they were in full possession of the ballot. "In the Court Botise;" be said, "the judge deals out jastice according to the law when the case was between white man and white ma?r, or negro and*aegro, but-when it was between a white man and a negro, the white man was favored against the negro, because the white man bad the ballot and the negro didn't. Tbe judge wants to bold cn to bis office and be knows that his re-election de? pends upon the votes of the white men." And so oo io the same strain. Murray debared that be was confident of being given bis seat tn Congress ; so confi? dent that was sure to bea member of Con? gress unless he died before it assembled. In the first p>:rt of his speech, Murray is said to have paid bis respects to Capt. T B. Johnstoo, who, he said, is worth $200,000, and is very anxious to get negro votes, when he wants an office, but when be is asked for a subscription to assist tbe negroes in ob? taining the ballot, he gives "nairy" a cent. False Alarm A false alarm of fire was given last Friday afternooo a few minutes past six o'clock, for the purp ise of testing the promptness of the reel squads. Del gar Squad got ont a moment Sooner than Monaghan, and reached the hydrant at Ryttenberg's corner firs', but there wa9 only a fraction's difference in the run Monaghan Squad was unfortunate, how? ever, as the reel ran against the hydrant as the corner was turned. The reel was badly damaged and the boys turned over and landed in the gutter. This accident put Monaghan out of the race and Del gar got the first and only water. The Delgar boys are, in consequence cf their continued success, bragging around at a great rate, to the disgust of those who run with Monaghan No. 2. Institute Honors.

WHEELER NOT SHOT. i - i He Works Quie.iy and May be Made a Trusty. I - ; i The report that M. D. Wheeler had been i I shot while attempting to escape from the ? t State Farm bas proven to be unfounded io j t fact. To the contrary, Wheeler bas gone to work industriously and quietly, and ha9 so I g far succeeded in pleasing the manager and d guards at the farm, that be is slated for ap- ? pointment as a trusty, at the first vacancy in f this convict honor roll. It ia strange how re- p ports gain currency and come to be believed c by people whose statements are accepted as true by all who hear teem. If Wheeler con? tinues his present course of good conduct be will not only escape a great many of the hardships of the ordinary convict but will ma? terially reduce the length of his term. He ts not only not dead or wounded, but was hard at work witn a grubbing hoe when seen at the farm a couple of days ago. WRECKED AT BROGDONS. Eight Box Cars Ditched -The Track Blocked and the Pas? senger Trams Delayed. The passenger traiD from Charleston due to arrive here at S 45, last Friday, waa de? layed by a freight wreck at Brogdons aod did not arrive until 1 i.35: The wreck occurred at night when the 1 through freight was going South. Eight I r>ox cars were derailed and turned over into ; ?he ditch. The wrecking train was ordered j jut at once and proceeded to the ; I" scene to clear the track. There WKS so much work to be done that it was thought that :he track could not be cleared until after'mid iay, therefore rhe passenger t rn i ri was sent c-i iround by way of Florence. The track was h< :leared sooner and the passenger train could at lave come through via tho Central and saved C ?me. Ii Hood's Pills are purely vegetable, harmless Elective, do not pain or gripe.

That is What Sumter Has Shipped For a country that has had its smoke houses localed beyond the Alleghaney Mountains, tt ship hogs by the car load is a marked and gratifying change. But this change bas tak? en place. Last week the ti rat car load of hogs was shipped from this place. In previous years not only bacon has been brought tc this country from the West, hut the butchers have bought bogs by the car lo*d in the ?est and Virginia to supply the local demand. Dur? ing the past wittier, however, the supply ol hogs has been in excess of the demand, and the price hns declined considerably in conse? quence. At present hogs are sold nt four cents per pound, the lowest price recorded in many years, and the supply is greater than the butchers can consume. Mr. W. B. Boyle, the butcher and livestock dealer, bas bought a considerate number oj fat hags and pigs, and to get them off his bands made up a car load and shipped them to Charleston this morning. ju the lot shipped were twelve five month? old pigs, rnised by Mr. R. M. Jenkins, that were be?ut:es as pus go. They were as round as pigs, get to be, an<3 would a?era?? more than one hundred pounds in weight apiece. The remainder ot' the car load were rnieed in the vicinity of this city, and are said to be a fine lot of hoys. It is to be boped that this is but the beginniog of a business that will continue and so increase as to briog a good deal of money into the country. THE DOORS CLOSED. The Firm of A. S. & W A. Brown Make an Assignment-Mr. M. R. Wilson tho Assignee. _. The firm of A. S. ? W. A. Brown made an assignment to Mr. M R. Wilson and the store was closed last Friday. The amount of assets and liabilities have not been an? nounced and will not be until stock hns been taken. The force of clerks have been at work several days taking stock. ; The firm has been embnrrased for a con? siderable time, nod the assignment was no surprise to anyone. As f*r back as the beginning of last year the firm made a com? promise with the creditors. The very tight financial condition last ytar and the poor collections reudered it impossible for the firm to get rid of the encumbrances, and the assignment was unavoidable. The principal creditors are Charleston and Baltimore firms and the totnl ?mount due is quite large. The misfortune of the firm of A. S. & W*. A Brown is generally regretted by the busi? ness community, fer the members of it are generally liked by every one. Both have been progressive ?.nd energetic business men and h?d by careful management acquired considerable property, which will largely go to liquidate the indebtedness of the firm. Mr. A. S. Brown, in particular, has been one of the most prominent men in the business circles of this city and did much to build up Sumter. A PICKANINNY HOLOCAUST. The Same Old Story-Two Little Negroes Locked Tip in a House Burned to Death. A negro cabin was burned on the outskirts of the town last Friday nigbtjabout 10 o'clock and with it were bumed two unfortunate little negroes, whose mother bad locked them io and gone to church. The house was situated in the neighbor? hood of the old Corbett place on the Provi? dence road and was too far out for the Fire Department to reach. Monaghan Reel and the Rope Squad did start to the fire, although the bell did not ring the alarm; but gave up the race when Warren Street was reached. Alston Evans, whose children were burned, wa* not at home and his wife, with the care? lessness aod indifference, so characteristic of the negro, left tbe children, five in number, ranging from nine rears to ten months old, io the house alone. There was a fire in the fire? place and from it the bouse became ignited, how it'is not known, but presumably by one of the children falling into the fire. The oldest says that he awoke in time to save himself and one other, and that the next oldest saved herself. He could lot get back to save the two younger ones. He does not know how the fire started. The manner in which the fire started is not important, but such occurrences are entirely too frequent and it is time some law was enacted punish? ing such criminal carelessness It is learned that a tragedy similar to the above, occurred near Bishopville a few nights? ago. Alfate Smart, colored, locked up two small children in bis house md went visiting. Before he returned the bouss caught on fire and was burned to toe ground. The bodies of the children were ilmost entirely consumed. Coroner's Inquest. Coroner Commander commenced on Sunday in irquest over the dead bodies of Daisy Evans md Austin Evans, Jr., the little negroes aurned to death on Friday night. The irquest was in session throughout the lay and adjourned in the afternoon until iext morning. The examination of witnesses ;vas continued until ll o'clock Monday moro? ng before the case was given to the jury. No rerdict had been reached at 1 o'clock and a ?ecess was taken for dinner. The evidence brought out was very engthy, more than twenty witnesses testifyi? ng and a great deal of it was contradictory, n consequence the Jury bas a difficult task, o place the responsibility for the death of he two unfortunate little negroes. The jury of inquest concluded the iovesti ;atioo of the turning of the two negro chil Iren at 9 o'clock Monday night. The verdict j vas that the children came to their death rom causes unknown to the jury. It was ira .ossible to place the responsibility for the leath of the children directly upon either Liston Evans er bis wife, and the verdict of be jury was in the Dftture of a compromise.
