The talk of a new hotel is received with more than a grain of doubt by most people io this city. And they cannot be blamed, for ; there has been so much talk of hotels in the past and there bas been no hotel built yet. The information upon which the paragraph published a few days ago was based, came from a person who claimed to know what he was talking about, j and was therefore given to the pub? lic as news. There is no question but that a large and well ?quipped hotel would be an addition to the city as it would attract more Northern tourists, and there is not a man in the city who would not be glad to see one built -Item 30M.

As there seems to be some misunderstand? ing about Mr. Kiott's appointments at Bethel, I make the following statement to set matters right. For the, present be will preach there the afternoon of the first Sunday of each mooth and the forenoon of the third Sunday. The third Sunday of next month (May 19) be will preach a special sermon to the chil? dren and a collection will be taken up for the Connie Maxwell Orphanage at Greenwood. Mr. Jim Cain, of Chicago, recently paid a visit to this township. McD. F. The Kings Daughters will give an enter? tainment in a short time. A car load of tew machinery for the ice j factory has arrived. The Whist Club will meet at the residence of Mr. W. H. Ingram this evening. Remember the meeting of the Ladies Memorial Association in ?be Masonic Temple to-morrow afternoon at 6 o'clock A break io a water pipe on Main Street j Monday was sufficient to attract a crowd of twenty-five. A block of ice with a large bouquet of flowers frozen in it, was an attraction Monday j in front of Dr. China's drug store. The mod that is taken out of the gutters by tbe street bands, gives forth an unpleasant door, and should be limed. James Major, colored, was arrested Mon? day for violating tbe U. S. Revenue laws. He gave bail for his appearance. A pre? liminary hearing will be held on Thursday. The Willing Workers Circle of King's Daughters will give a Pban'om Party on ? Tuesday evening, May 14th. The particulars j will be given later. The cement drains on lower Main Street ; near the Coast Line Depot not only carry off i the water but cause "ve street and sidewalks ! to wash badly. The finest strawberries yet brought to tbis ? market were sold here Monday by Spanu &j Co. The berries were raised at Denmark, i and were a3 fine berries as can be produced I anywnere This State will yet lead the country in the truck business. The rains have d^ae much greater damage to tne crops than was ut first thought. A gieat deal of the cotton will have to be re- ? planted. One farmer says that forty acres of cotton that was just up was destroyed and will have to be planted again. Young corn has heirn considerably injured by the excess of water on the ground. lu low places the corn is entirely under water. I. iportant Warning. The County Hoard of Commissioners gives notice that any person who plows into a pub? lic road will be prosecuted, and it is made the duly ot road overseers to bring the suit for the offence. The person who does the plewiog, and not the owner of the crop, will be the one prosecuted, and it is the duty of every one to read this notice to the laborers iu their employ, so that they may be fully informed and avoid getting into trouble. PIRE. A negro house on Li ber fr Street in the extreme suburbs of the citj', was burned OF, Saturday night about ll o'clock. The niano was given and the department turned out before location of the fire was discovered, hue as it WH3 so far distant from the wnter m wins it wa9 useless to go to the fire. The house was the property of Geo E. W. Moise and unoccupied. The fire was without doubt of incendiwry origin. The fish fry at McRae's mil! F iday was a stag party and a most successful affair. Joe Lev?H was catprer in chief and served ti is famous tish stew as the piece de resistance. Opt. T. B. Johns'on is the possessor of a five pound Bank of England note. He re? ceived it from tbe Bank of Eogland while in London on one of bis European trips. This method of carrying money when traveling abroad, is very convenient, as these notes are taken at par anywhere in the world. Charles .F Hay ne (co I'd) ex-postmaster at Elliott, S. C., was arrested aod lodged in Sumter jail,Friday, charged with embezzle? ment of governmeut postal funds. Hayoe was arrested in 1893 nud convicted of selling postage stamps in paymeut of persoual debts. The Dime Reading at the residence of Mr. A.C. Durant Friday evening was attended by an unusually large crowd, and was success? ful beyond the anticipations of the promo? ters Several who had promised to take part in the programme were prevented from doing so by tbe rain, but nevertheless the programme was very entertaining. There was a young white man in town Fri? day who attempted to sell a pair of spec? tacles which he claimed to have found on the train, he valued the glasses at $5.00 but was anxious to sell them for $1.50. This party may have been all rigbt but it is well to beware of spectacle sellers *s it is au old fake, and many h^ve paid dearly for brass specta? cles tb ti T bad beeu lound on the train or street. All is not gold that glitters, and the world is filled with swindlers. A gentlemen, not a resident of this city, but who owns a great deal of property in Sumter, is thinking of building a large hotel here. If his plans can be matured and be meets wiih proper encouragement. Sumter will bave what has long been desired a large, weil equipped modern botel lhat can offer the accommodations demanded by the North? ern tourists, who would make Sumter a stopping pince going to and returning from Florida. Mr J.

HAIL FOUR INCHES DEEP. A Fall of Hail That Beats the Record. From the Daily Item, April 25. Mr. J. L. Lowry, of Parlers, who is in the city to-day, tells of a bail storm that passed over that section of Orangeburg Couoty yes? terday afternoon tbat beats the records. The haii storm was general throughout this sec? tion of the State, but in a section of country about six miles in w:dtn, of which Parlers was the center, the hail fall was so heavy that the ground was covered as completely as it was by snow during the blizzard in Febraary. the hail stones, which were about the size of partridge eggs, covered the ground to a depth of four inches on a level, and the drifts against fences and the railroad embank? ments were from ten to eighteen inches deep. The railroad was covered, except the rails, with a solid mass of frozen hail ; and at eight o'clock this morning the ground was still covered. Mr. Lowry brought with bim a block of the frozen hail which be cut from the platform at Parlers tb?3 morning, and when the writer | saw the block it was two and a half inches in thickness. Such a fall of hail was never seen or heard of by anyone in this section of country and those who saw it say that unless they had seen it themselves they would hardly credit the fficts. The corn and cotton that was ap was beaten down to the ground .ind wil ? have to be re-planted. Sumter Gunmen m Charleston.

Meeting of Memorial Association. AU members of tb? Ladies' Memorial As? sociation ?re requested io attend a meeting in Masonic Temple, on Tuursday afternoon. May 2d, at 9 o'clock. M. H. GlRABDEar, President. A Fast Attorney of Sumter. A distinguished member of the Sumter Bar, A B. Stuckey, Esq., star:ed on his wheel Wednesday morning to "taxe a spin" over to Columbia, where he had ?ome cases in the Supreme Court. He left at 8 o'clock a. m , and a Sumter gentleman who met him In Columbia Thursday say?, :'that Mr. Stuckev told him that hi? bicycle broke down on the way Wedaesday, and be had to hunt up a hlacksmith shop." He did not reach Columbia until ll p. ra. thai night and was pretty nadly broken up. The record break? ing bicycle attorney weighed about 228 lbs. when he left here, but, no doubt, hi? avoirdu? pois decreased to about 180 lbs b?fore be retired to bis welcome bed in :he Capital City Wednesday night. Mr. G. N. Marshall, who was a charter member of the original Camp of Sons of Confederate Veterans established in Charles? ton, has been thinking for some time of mak ng an effort tcorgaoize a camp ia this city. He bas all the data relating to the organiza? tion of a camp, and if the sons of Confed? erates in this city and county wisn to organ? ize a camp be will take pleasure in explaining tbe purposes of the organization. In Charles? ton and throughout the South the organiza? tion is in a flourishing condition and is growing in popularity with tbe young men who are eligible to membership. There are a great many young men in this place who would be eligible to membership, and it would be an excellent idea to organize a camp here. Mr. Frank Weldon, of tbe editorial staff of the Atlanta Constitution, is in correspondence with Osman Pasha Maher, a member of the Royal Land Commission of Egypt, with a view to securing an exhibit of the cotton raising industry of that country at the Cot? ton States and International Exposition. Cotton picking begins io Egypt in Septem? ber, and it is proposed to have some of the first part of the crop prepared and shipped fmraedntely. This will reach Atlanta in October and can be installed almost at the beginning of the Exposition The cotton industry of Egypt may be further illustrated by models in plaster of the cotton plantations of Egypt, hy pictures of the cotton planta? tions, laborers, and models of the machinery u.-ed in preparing the cotton for market This will tte an extremely interesting feature to cotton planters of other parts of the world, the methods of raising cotton and preparing it for the market being different in Egypt from those of other countries. By Wheel to Mayesville. Mr. Editor: I made a wheel trip along the W. C.& A. R. R. to Mayesville a few days ago, and saw that the space between the rails of the road is being "sanded up." There is enough clay in the "sand" used to make a fine track for bicycle riders, as soon as it settles. Now if the walking delegates will kindly tramp it down they will not be an un? mitigated evil in the economy of nature, and their usefulness will, no doubt, be appreciated by the wheeling fraternity. Then Mayesville may be regarded a suburb of Sumter for wheelmen, and viceversa. A train has been at work on this for more than a week, and a considerable part of the distance, in disconnected lections, is filled; and the weather is getting so warm a young man need not mind taking a plongeon wheels from a trestle into the water to keep from turniog a train over. Wedgefield Letter. WEDGEFIELD, April 29, :>895. The entertainment in aid of tba Episcopal chapel last Friday night was a brilliant suc? cess. Inepiteof the t>ad weather there wa3 a full house. The whole audience seemed charmed with the entire programme, but tbe recitations by Miss Janie Spann, of Sumter, were simply superb Special thanks are due and are hereby tendered Miss Spann for the assistance rendered by her able contributions, which added so much to the lustre of the evening. We wish also to thank Misses Caro Belser and Fannie Brailsford, of Sum- ! merton, for their generous help and support, and tbe friends of the community, not iden? tified with the Episcopal Church, who not only liberally patronized the entertainment, bot generously contributed in the way of loaning their furniture that was needed for the different scenes, which beautified the house and stage to such an extent that one could hardly realize that they were being entertained in the little town of Wedgefield. Many of our bomefolks, as well as visitors, were very mucb surprised. With such a brilliant start, some who were hardly lukewarm on the subject of building an Episcopal chapel are now enthusiastic and believe that one can easily be built. Among our visitors for the entertainment were Miss Janie Spann Misses Bessie and Alma Ingram, Miss Zadah Hughson, Miss Linnie McLaorin, Mrs. J. J. Conyers and Mr. Henry J. McLaurin, from Sumter; Mrs. Richard Belser, Mr. Lucien Brailsford, Mr. Elliott Keels, Mr. J. G. Beckwith. Miss Fannie Brailsford, Miss Caro Belser and Master Irving Belser, from Summerton.

She Did Not Suffer. Three months before our first child my wife suffered so from cramps and pains she could not get io or out of the house without help, und was often in bed for two or three days at a time. I obtained a bottle of "Mothers' Friend," ana after the first application pain3 and cramps ceased. She continued to use the remedy and suffered no serious incon? venience until the hour of con?inement-at which time she suffered but little pain-her recovery was rapid and complete-in fact, she suffered no pain after birth. Her friends say they never saw anytning to equal her case. Truly "Mother?," Friend, isa blessing to expectant mothers, and my wife shall never he without it. E. E JOHNSTON.
