The intelligence ot' tbe death of Mr. Jo? B. Mayes, which occurred about two o'clock last Thursday at his home in this city, was re? ceived with sadness and regret by the entire community. He bad been confined to his roora for about ten days, but his illness did not assume a serious aspect until Wednesday afternoon. During the last twenty-four hours he suf? fered extreme agony, but he hore it through? out with fortitude and resignation, passif 2 away peaceful ly at las?. He was a youngman of sterling worth, and noone had a greater number of warm friends tban he. Jo? was a general farorite -?nd he will ht-sadly missed. He was a son of Mr. M. P. Maves, Sr., ot Mayesville, and came to this city to engage in busi? nessin 1892, and WHS employed as book? keeper for the firm of Remhert and Marshall. Afterwards he filled'a position in the freight depot ef the Atlantic Coa9t Line until he accepted a position with D. J. Chandler which he held until his last illness He was married last October, to Mis3 Leila Pierson, the 'bird daughter of Capt- B. G. Pierson, and it seemed that his life wa3 just opening before bim, full of promis*? and hap? piness. He was in the full strength of yoong manhood, for he would not have attained his twen?y-Sfth year until July 23d, next. Mr. Maurice Emanuel, of Georgetown, died at the Nixon House on Saturday afternoon of consumption, aged 48 years. He came to this city about four months ago from Sum? merville in hope of prolonging his life, but gradually sank until the end came. The body was taken to Georgetown on Sunday afternoon for interment. He leaves a wife and two children. Mrs. T. C. Gaston, of Chester, a sister nf Col. R. D. Lee and Mr. T. W. Lee of this ?ty, died suddenly on Friday last after a brief illness. "v Mrs. D. M. Campbell died Sunday after? noon after an illness of four weeks. She was a daughter of Rev. W. H. Harlin, of Ridge? way. The body was taken to Rid way Mon? day morning where 'he funeral services were heid at 6 o'clock that evening. The death is a peculiarly sad ooe, Mrs. Campbell having come to this city a bride only two months ago. The sympathy of a large circle ol frieods goes out to Mr. Campbell in his 9ore affliction. - -^^~? ??? mm> The steamer belonging to the Fire Depart? ment has been put iu through repair and re? painted. It presents a very handsome ap? pearance now. A. S * W. A. Brown have removed the re? mainder of their stock of goods to the store on Liberty Street formerly occupied by Dr. I. A. McKagen. Mr. Wm. Graham's six acre patch of strawberries is doing finely and the se'tiog out of new plants will begin in the atter part of the mooth. There was a crowd of drummers io town yesterday. Sumter has not lost her popu? larity as a stopping over point with the commercial tourists. The stockholders of the banks received checks for their semi-annual dividends on Monday. It was a pleasing variation of mid summer monotony. Special Fourth of July excursion tickets will be on sale at all Atlantic Coast Line sta? tions from July 2d to 4th with a limit until Joly 7th, for one and one-third fares The Atlantic Coast Line will sejl round trip ticke?s to Baltimore on Jul] i6th and 17th, good to return until August 5tb, for $12, on account of the Baptist Young Peo? ple's Union, wbich meets in Baltimore. The commiision of tbe Sumter Manufactur? ing company has beea received from the Secretary of State, and the books of subscription will be opened at the store of O'Donnell & Co., on July 5th. Street Commissionrr Tribble has completed an underdain on Canal Street that will drain Washington Stteet and prevent water from standing in that street after rains as it has in the past. J*pan plums, of which there are a few trees in the city, are beginning to ripen. There are several varieties of the Japan plum, all considered very fine by fruit growers, and it is surprising that more of them have not been planted io this section. Supervisor of Registration W. S. James was in bis office Monday and there was quite a crowd of negroes around the office applying for registration. There were also a good many white citizens applying for certificates, renewals and transfers. Fresh water fish, principally bream and maumouth, are offered for sale on the streets in greater abundance than usual. The fish are taken in traps and nets, and it is said that quite a number of people make a business of catching fish for sale in this maiket. Mr. W. T. Keels, conductor on theAtlantic Coast Line material train was slightly injured Thursday morning while attempting to board the train on the depot yards. He started to jump up between two flat cars and one foot was caught between the false bumpers and mashed. None of the bones pf the foot were broken and he suffers no greater incon? venience than an enforced idleness of a week or ten days. United States Commissioners. A. Norris heard *.he case of tbe United States vs. Tad get Cabbagestalk, violation of section 5421, passing a forged order for a registered letter on the postmaster of'he Sumter Post Office, Saturday. When brought before Post? master Gaillard for identification it was found that Cabbagestalk was not the man who pass? ed the foigeg order. He was accordingly dismissed. A row started at a colored church near Providence on SatLTlay afternoon that ter? minated in a shooting scrape. Joe Logan ad Robert Remhert were the principals in the difficulty, which, it is said, originated ?D a dispute over the possession of an umbrella Logan shot several times at Rerabert, one ball taking effect in the neck. Tbe wound was, however, not serious as Rembert was able to walk to town Monday for .medical at? tention. As far aa can ne learned no arrests have yet been made, but these will ptobably follow within a day or two. Arrest?? of Railroad Thieves. George Elliott, colored, formerly a train hand in the employ of the Atlantic Coast Line was arrested Saturday and com? mitted to jail. There is strong evidence that he was connected in the robbery of a freight car on the night of the 21st, wheo 10 cases of whiskey, 10 boxes of tobacco ami 5 kegs of beer were taken. There had been considera? ble talk around the streets this morning that in Elliott the mau who burned the Guard House some weeks ago had been found The pol ice, nowerer, deny that 'here is any foundation for this current belief. Th?- de? tectives who have noen al work cn the ror> bery case pay that there ?s a regular gn:.^ that has been systematically robbing freight trains for several months, but that thc case has teen difficult to work up and that it is a hard nutter tc Incite all ot' thf robbers ?! is possible thit something may bc developed that will throw light upon the buming o! the guard Hons?* and the death of Mnyrant, who belonged to tue gang of tram robbers, but so far nothing has t een learned. George Vaughan, colored, was arrested about noon, as an accessory in tbe iran, rob beries and committed to jail. Thc evidence against the gang is accumulating, and one of the railroad detectives is in town to-day at work on the case. j Notice of Club Meeting. The members of Sumter D?mocratie Club i are hereby notified to meet in the Court j House on Monday evening, July 8'h. at 6 30 ! o'clock, pursuant t0 the call of County Chair- i ; man, Marion Moise.

I. O. E. M. At the last meeting of Pocahontas Tribe ; No. 16, Improved Order of Red Men, held o<? j last Friday night, the semi-annual eieclion oj i officers took place, ar.d all th** incumbents were re-elected MS follows: William Yeadon, Sachem. L. W. Folsom, Senior Sagamore. R 0. Purdy, Junior Sagamore. N. G. Osteen, Prophet. This is one of the nest fraternal societies in ] the city, and is on a sound financial basis. The Red Men always look after their sick and j distressed brethren. Fire in the Country. The dwelling house, barn and smoke j house of Mr. D. A. Outlaw, of the Meehan- j icsville neighborhood, were burned on Satur- | day about 3 o'clock The fire originated j from a spark falling on the roof of the house. Wheo discovered only H few shingl?s were on ! fire, but in a few mi* utes the entire roof was i ablaze and it was i m nos" i ble to stop the spread of the flames There WAS no insur- | ance on any of the buildings or their con? tents. County Board of Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners met Monday. There was not a fall attendance, but a sufficient number to constitute a quorum tor the transaction of business. Mr. F. E Thomas, chairman of a commit? tee appointed to coofer with the per3on9 hold? ing overdu- claims against the county-Mr. E P. Ricker oeing the one most largely inter? ested-made a report. In substance he re? commended as being satisfactory to all par? ties an agreement to pay interest, at the rate of 6 per cent, on the outstanding claims from j the beginning of the last fiscal year, Novem ber 1st, and that an ^?tra levy ot i mill be j made annually until the claims are paid in 1 full. This plan seemed to mee', with the j approval of the Board, as it will be in the end j much easier on the tax navers than an issue \ of bonds to pay off the floating indebtedness, j However, action was der.T<rd until the i October meeting of the Board, when the mat- j ter will be io hettrr shape to be taken np Mr N. S. McLeod, for the committee on Poor House, reported that there were fourteen j children in the Poor House of an age to be ; bound out, as provided by law. There are, altogether, fifteen children io the Poor House, ranging from one to fourteen years old A number of claims were examined and t approved. - mm . ? -^mmm Officers of J. O. TJ. A. M. At a regular meeting of the Junior Order United American Mechanics held last night, officers fo: the ensuing term were elected as ! follows ; Councilor, Sheppard Nash. Vice Couucilor, A. G. Flowers. Recording Secretary, B. C. Wallace Assistant Recording Secretary, W. C. Bag- j nnl. Financial Secretary, B. F. Kelly. Treasurer, William Yeadon. Conductor, R. F Wilford. Warden, E. I. Reardon.

Pate. -^mmm>~? % ? i mm The Board of Health. The election held Thursday for a city Board of Health bolds the record for a quiet election. With only twenty three men to vote and all day in which to vote the election could not have heen otherwise than quiet and uninteresting. When the polls closed at 5 o'clock and the votes had been counted it was found that Drs. J. A. Mood, Archie China and S. C. Baker, and Messrs W. M. Graham and George B. Shore had been elect? ed. These gentlemen, therefore, have the duty imposed upon them of looking after and guarding the health of the city of Sumter. An agreement for the stores to close on Thursday, July 4tb, (to-morrow) has been circulated and signed by nearly all of the merchants and business men. Hence it is safe to say that Sumter will have a holiday on the Fourth, and that no business of any consequence will be transacted. A crowd is talking of spending the day in Charleston and Sullivan's Island, but the majority of people who will be relieved from work on that day will loaf quietly and contentedly at home. Farmers from various parts of the county \ report very rapid improvement in the condi? tion of all crop3 during the p.-ist ten days. ! The improvemsnt io corn is particularly j marked, and with favorable seasons the corn | crop will not be as short as feared some time ago. The tobacco crop has attained a fine | growth and the present outlook :- for a large j yield of fine tobacco. As a result of the crop improvement the farmers are in a much more hopeful frame of mind. With a good corn crop Sumter cnn get along after a fash ion, even though colton does sell for little or nothing. j The fish fry at Cain's roil! Thursday night was attended by about forty person?, and was ; in every respect a very enjoyable affair. There I were quite a number of visitors from other : places present, several of '.vhom came over from Columbia especially to attend (his ? rustic social function. The'pic-nic party: left town before dark and remained at the | mill for several hours, not reaching home until midnight. Fish fries and moonlight pic-nics are more popular this season than ever before, and that they are plpa;ant and enjoyed by all in proved by the frequency with which they are given. Th-'.t of last evening was given in honor of the young Indies who are now visiting in the city. Th- reception given at the residence or Mr. I!. Ryttenberg Thursday evening iu honor u? tru-M i-.-**.- Kohn, of Orangeburg, and.Strauss, of MayesviHe, who were the guests of Miss Hattie Ryttenberg, {?roved ii rao3t delightful occasion to all who attended A feature of the evening's entertainment that was both amus? ing and interesting was n guessing contest to discover the twelve things represented by j tiic devices and inscriptions on a cent.

Such 13 the title of a book just issued bj the Presbyterian Committee of Publication, Richmond, Va., and from the pen of the Rev Dr H. C Dubose, who has been for twentv-three years a missionary in China. The book is an attractive duodecimo of 336 1 pagps-clear, laree type and good paper. The publishers have done their work well, and Dr. Dnbose has placed the church and a very i wide circle of friends under obligation hy the i attractive form in which he has collected and presented thesimplp, eloquent facts concern-' ing the character and work of a great Amen- : can, whose name, while known in all the continents, was a household word in every hrfin'et in South Carolina. But most of all ; was he loved and honored in Sumter County. For Sumter County sent him forth to help the world, and here his ashes sleep. Dr. Wilson gave his great powers and energies with singular devotion 'o Philan? thropic and Missionary work. In early life be spent eighteen years as a pioneer on the west coast of Africa". And for thirty-three years of bis maturer age he filled the exalted ?nd impor'ant office of Secretary of Foreign Mis- ? sions. When in 1861 he left New York to serve and suffer with his own people. Dr. : Charles Hodge is reported to have said of him: "The wisest man among us bas gone out " Dr. Wilson was a man of singular simplicity, elevation, and loveliness of char? acter. And Dr. Dubose, writing evidently con omore, h?s gi?en us a faithful portraiture. I feel confident, Mr. Editor, that if you will do yourself the kindness to obtain a copy, you will thank me for calling your at? tention and that of your readers to it.

Freeland has been in the service of the Coast Line for twenty- j two years, and there ha3 never been an acci- i dent cn .the line under his charge that could i io any way be attributed to a lack of care on bis part. He worked his way up from the j section, and bas always been regarded as j one of the most competent and practical rail- ! road men in this state. The changes that 1 caused the removal of Capt. Freeland are ascribed to the necessity of reducing expen? ses ou the Coast Line system. We trust that Capt. Freeland will not leave Sumter, but will find it to his interest to remain here.
