a petition signed by nearly all of the citizens
of that towo atid surrounding country. He
is to-day returning from over there, and we !

The talk of a new hotel is received with

there has been so much talk of hotels in the

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.

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.

Mr. G. N. Marshall, who was a charter
member of the original Camp of Sons of

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.
