Misses Emily Sanders and Teresa James were complimented last Friday evening by a party in their honor M the Jervey House. Quite a number of young people wetc present and the hours sped oy ns if on golden wings. The occasion was one of enjoyment to all who were present.

Mr. Howell will deliver an address before the Association. Messrs. R. W. McCotcbeo and L. 0.

Since the first of January seven persons have been sent to the asylum from this county. Fish are quite abundant ir the streams and ponds, and the disciples of Izaak Walton are enjoying fine sport.

The crowd of negro boys sentenced by the Mayor to work on the streets, were indus? triously handling shovels the past two days under the supervision of Street Commissioner Trib-ble. The Spring Festival of the Columbia Choral Club will be attended by several per? sons from this city who will take advantage of the reduced rates. A much larger party should attend from this city. The number of does in this city is entire? ly out of proportion to tbe human population. The dog license law should be enforced stricg ently and even more ejective means used to thin out the surplus curs. Able-bodied negro men are going from boose to house begging with such frequency and persistence that it is time fora stop to be put to it. They are vagrants of tbe worst sort, and they should bearrest-d and put to work on the streets. If they are to be sup? ported by the community they should be made to work for it. A negro man reported to Chief of Police Bradford that be met three convicts on the Wilmington, Colombia and Aogusta R. R , yesterday morning. They were going in the direction of Mayesville, and appeared to be in a burry. They were dressed in the regulation Penitentiary stripes, and were without doubt escaped convicts from the penitentiary or some of the farms where convicts are worked under contract. The Knights of Pythias of this city ?re preparing to entertain the delegates to the Grand Lodge in royal style. The banquet and bal! which will be given during the session of the (?rand Lodge will be the most complete affair ever given in Sumter, if tee efforts of the committees in charge count for anything. The Knights of Game Cock Lodge are enthusiastic over the meeting, and will spare no efforts to so entertain the visit? ing brethren that they will long retain a lively appreciation of what Pythianism in Sumter means.

Tramps are getting tony now-a-days, they travel with bsggage. Tbe reporter heard of one who attempted to beat a ride on the freight Friday night and to carry a valise and an umbrella too. Of course he was dis? covered and put off at the junction. The committee in charge of the subscription ists of the Sumter Manufacturing Company has met with success in the partial canvass that bas r?eeo made and it is believed that there will be little difficulty in placing the full amount of stock. A. B. Stuckey, Esq , ha9 obtained a new j trial to the case of Garrett vs Weinberg el al, which was decided adversely to their clients, j the Garrett heirs.

Both . of these trains will have accommodations for carrying passengers. Mr. D. Jas. Winn has a very pretty cron j of crimson clover growing on his place, and : as it is a new forage plant in this section, it is worthy of more than a passing mpntion The plant is not affected by ordinary cold and grows throughout the winter and reaches maturity early in the spring. Mr. Winu was unacquainted with the plant and therefore j planted too early lust fall and a part of the crop was killed "by the hot, dry weather of the fall. A part of the crop was planted on stiff, low laud and a part on high, sandy Und, and to the surprise of every one, that planted on the sundy land has made the finest crcp. The clover is now about a foot or eighteen inches in height and is beginning to head. There is a marked difference in the habits of growth *.s well as appearance of the crimson clover and the common red clover. The crimson clover is a native of Southern Europe and flourishes in a warm climate, while the red clover does not. It is the opinion of leading agriculturists that the crimson clover will prove a valuable addition to the forage plams of the South, as it is both hardy and a vigorous grower, produc? ing a large amouot of fine hay per acre. The subscriptions to the stock of the Sum? ter Manufacturiug Company are coming in at a rate that shows that the people of the city are in earnest in the matter. Messrs. O'Don? nell and Graham hav* not completed the can? vass of the business men of the city and have already between five a?d six hundred shares taken. They will probably have no difficulty in placing one hundred and fifty to two hun? dred shares more, ^s there ?re :i number <<! men yetto see. The meeting of clerks and other wage earners last night considered the advisability of taking stock in the enterprise and there was but one opinion-that every man should . hscribe to the extent ot his ability. The meeting was not as large? ly attended ns anticipated on account of a lodge meeting, but those wno cou id not he present were io hearty accord with what was done. A subscription list was opened and seventy-five shares <>; stock taken by those who were present. The com? mittee of clerks will make a thorough can vrfs of the city at once, and will endeavor to induce every workingman to take one or more shares. Tl e movement is a popular one, as is proven by the way in which all the people have received it, and the establishment of a Si00,000 factory may be said to be assured. : Tbirtv glp.sses soda w?ter at A.

The harn ?nd Stahles of Mr. Perry Moses, >u his residence on Washington St. ?ere de? stroyed ny fire this morning about 5:30 o'clock, together with a valuable horse and three cows, and a carriage and a boggy. The barn was worth $200 and insured tor $100. The horse, carriage, cows, and buggy were valued at S600, and were insured lor S-iOOj-m^in? the total loss $800 and in? surance $500. One pf the cows lost was of a very tin* breed, and was purchased from Wm Valider - nuilt, from his piare near Asheville, N. C. The fire is ?uppused to have t>een incen? diary origin The firtrj department responded promptly but owin<_' to trie very, ir.ftarnaolr ma? terial, were not able to do much good on the burning buildings; but by their superior work saved several other buildings which were in danger, owing to their close proximity to the fire Epperson Reel, No. 4. colored, was the first to throw water on the fire. Lease of the Opera House. At the regular meeline of Citv Council, held last evening, the Opera House was leased to the Fourth Regiment Orchestra ot Sumter. S. C., for one year for $420. The Fourth Ke^iment Orchestra consists of a number of the Game Cock City's most en? terprising and clever young men, and under their management the people of Sumter can rest assured that the finest plays will be pre? sented. Sumter is to be congrutuialfd in hnvioe the Opera House management in such competent hands. -tm Notice to Survivors Survivors of Camp Dick Anderson are urgently requested to pay their back dues before May 1st, as the Camp will be debarred representation at Houston unless all dues are received by that time.

M. C. A. A j considerable amount of r-usiness was traR? i acted. It was decided to have a ' Library i Party,'' on the evening of May 7. at eight . o'clock. An admission fee of ten ce-its will ! be churned which wili yiv- every one the j privilege of >g?*-S:?J?t? fo?" the prize. There ; will also bea pr:Ze ??ra wing, as well .-.S the j usual refreshments, ?ce cream, cake, etc. All are requested to come in character, ; representing the name of some well-known I book, though no one need feel obligated to 1 do so. Any information desired will be I cheerfully furnished by members of the as i sociation. j Entertainment m Bishopville. I At the Opera House, in Bishopvi le, on j Friday April 26th, there will be given the drama, ''Comrades," to be followed by a supper. The proceeds will be u3ed to clear the debt on the cemetery railing of the Presbyterian Church. This entertainment is under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church, and they bespeak the patronage of their friends in other denominations, in and around the town. The coffin factory of the Messrs. Wither? spoon is said to be doing a'i excellent busi? ness and bas large orde.s ahead. The policy for $400 on the barn of Mr. Robert Wingate, which was turned the other night, covered not only the building but the horse, buggy and other articles kept j in the barn and stables-the insurance on the i building being $150, and on the other prop ! erty $250. The loss on the contends was ad j usted at $40. j Three candidates, Messrs Isaac C. Strauss, Rev. W T. Capers and J. H. Levy, were i raised to the degree of Master Mason at Care ' mont Lodge No. 64 A F. M.. of Sumter, last : Thursday night. After the adjournment of the communication, Messrs. Strauss, Capers and ; Levy, together with other Masons who have recently received the M. M. degree invited all their brother Masons who were present to join them in a delightful repast at the New Jervey House. Mr. Jervey sustait ed his well ; known reputation in ''the spread,-' and all i present expressed themselves as having had a ; delightful time. Last Thursday morning about one o'clock ; some unknown person or persons attempted 1 to enter the residence of Maj. R. G. Spann ! on Washington Street. The person whoever he ! was, climbed up to the upper piazza and broke open the venetian blinds to the door which [ opened into Miss Gertrude Jennings' room, j As the glass door was ?tushed open it ; struck a table on which was a hmp. The lamp was overturned and the young lad v ; rcreamed, frightening tne burglars away, i There is no clue to the robbers. It is thought i from the track9 around the house that there were more than one man engaged in the at? tempted burglarv. Tne Parcel Party Wednesday night was not ! attended by one-half the people who anticipat . ed participating in the very pleasant enter? tainment arranged by the Daughters in Is real. but it was a success, nevertheless More than $G? were realized, which, under the j circumstances, is an excellent showing. Had j the weather been less inclement many others would have been present and the receipts ! would been increased. The auction of parcels was very amusing I and the prizes drawn in this lottery were . novel and rather startling to the lucky i purchasers in some instances. One young man bid off a large box and found that he I bad literally bought a pig in a bag. Some : ot the parcels contained useful and ornamen? tal articles while others were neither. The geographical table furnished amusement and . entertainment for a great many, and was highly creditable to those who arranged it. Of course the guesses hazarded wro ludi? crous and far-fetched, and none were able to guess everything correctly. All who attend? ed had a pleasant time and none regretted braving the un-springlike weather. The Republican element seemed elated Fri? day morning when they read the position taken by Judge Goff on the South Carolina Regis? tration Law. Th- results ot this order from a Judge ot ;-:e United States Circuit Court will naturally t.e watched with much interest by all classes. South Carolina has more important poli? tical ami intern;'.! legal contests to he decided hy the T'nited States Court than anv -fate in the I'nion, and in consequence the purdie mind is io a state of expectancy tieatlv ni! ot the time. In point ot turmoil and sensational matter South Carolina is aiso the best advertised Spot ot ground upon the face ot the earth Unfortunately the kind ot advertising she gets is detrimental to her ir,'"res'. Hud her position is too frequently misrepresented bv Northern papers. When will South Carolina cease to he the cynosure of ail eyes? When will white winged Peace hover over thc Palmetto State. Delays are dangerous. A dollar spent tor Hood's Sarsaparilla now may prevent illness which will be expensive and hard to bear. Now is the time to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. , The Camden Eranch. Mr W V. L. Marshal!, who has taken L'ieat interest in the extension of the Three C's road from Camden to this place, has re? cently been in correspondence with the t. fri - ?.inls ut that road in ieg^d to the extension. Th" following letter which tie received a few i-ays si nee is of interest to those who de? sire another outlet: PHHADKI.PHIA, April 19, '95. My dear Mr. Marshall: Your favor of 17th inst . "id marked copy of the Watchman and Soutlirw, i-ce'tved th ? morning. The?? is very little to say ai?out the Cam? den branch nt present, our people hafinir ! t??r??ed 'heir attention in u'her directions. Whether or r.ot we shall te ?nie to revive intetest in the extension depends somewhat, I think, upon the interest which the people of Sumter :*ke in the enterprise. I have seen in the South Carolina papers, : several references to movement in Charleston tn get atio'her railroad connection arid j whiie in Cincinnati the other day a Knox-? ville mao told me of a recent visit of soveral Charlt-s'onians to Knoxville, and of speeches, j which ihev mude there in the interest of a : line from Knoxville to Charleston. As Charleston already ha? a through cor.- ' nectton io Knoxville, and about ap short a lineas it is practicable to make, it would seem to me that an independent line from the 1 South-Wist Virginia coal field? to Camden and Sumter, thence to Charleston, would be of more value to that City, especially as it would give it ?nother L. & N. connection to Louisville and Cincinnati, and tho West much shorter than rbe present line, in addi? tion to opening up about '200 miles of new territory f the timber and miner.-il lands of the B:ue Ridtie in addition to the coal field* of Sou th-West Virginia), which would Seek an outlet Ht that port in competition with the ports on the Middle Atlantic ('oast. Please keep me advised of anything you hear in thi- direction, and onlige. Yours very truly, JNO. J. COLLIER. Secretary. "The Catholic Benevolent Legion m Sumter " The Catholic citizens of Sumter on learn? ! ing that th" city of Columbia had organized i a council ?1 the Catholic B?nevo:ent Legion, n prom i tient fraternal organization with at i tractive insurance and beneficial features, j started a movement to obtain a council here, j and through the energies of Messrs.

The proposed ordinance by Council tu re? quire t:ains lo run ar a speed not exceeding s?ix miles aa hour while passing through the cirj limits has created considerable discussion and a majority of those who have expressed an opinion think that it will be unwise to en? act such an ordinance. A train running at .-ix miles an hour of? fers an invitation to people to jump on and oif the train, for it can be done with compar? ative safety, whilea speed of fifteen to twen? ty miles would i>e prohibitive to all but the most foolhardy. The rea;ilt cf a six miles an hour regulation would be a ??rent many more persons injured and k'lled than hereto? fore Council ha? the power to adopt the regu? lation, bu: it is to be hoped that the matter will be considered from every point of view hefore final action is taken. LLOYDS INSURANCE. Statement by W S. Monteith. General Managre | of the Soulh-Eastern Division of the South and North American Lloyds and the Nev: York and Chicago Lloyds. We have been required by the Compt. Gen'!., to deposit n formal agreement, in writing, by these underwriters, obligating themselves to the effect, that if any suit should be necessary agniust them, the service of sommons upon me, for them, or upon any of my Hgrntsin any part of the State, would tie valid and binding, and would have the same tffect, in any court, as if served upon them per?onHlIy. Every insurance company has to do this, and such service, upon their agents, ninds the company ; and we as separate underwriters have been required to do the same thing. If you had a claim against an insurance company, and had to sue, you wanld have to r.dopt thnt process and serve the agent for that company over there, and when you got a judgment against tits company, then you would have to get a transcript of the judg? ment sent iti to New York, or wherever the company had its headquarters and bring suit against the company on the judgment, and before you got the judgment, you would probably find that the company bad gone into the hands of a receiver, and the chances are that you would never get anything at all; but, if you brought suit against these underwriters and obtained a judgment here, which would be a separate judgmen t against etch or' these men and a joint judgment against them collectively, you would take the transcript of that judgment and send it wherever ihey wt-re, and hy a similar action you would find that you h*d a utan at ih.e other end, who was ready and able to pay the little amount aud could not stand a suit about it. This is the only difference between the Lloyd and old line companies, as far aa sue ing is concerned, but you would never have any trouble with these Lloyds about suits. I have had five losses since I undertook the management of their business in November, as follows : At Waggeners, 22d Feb., paid 23d Feb., $500.00. At Greenville, 30th March, paid 31st .March, $62.50 At Bishoprille, 7th April. Si,000 CO and money lying here ready to pay when proof is sent in. At Greenville, S th April, paid 16tb April, $300 00.
