The hotels were well filled again Sunday with drommers who came in for the day. Assistant Chief Weeks is still out hunting the men who have not paid the street commu? tation tax. Up to date 335 have paid what they owe. The sales of liquor by the dispensary have fallen off considerably recently. Blind tigers, shipments to individuals and scarcity of money are the causes. Fifieen lunatics have been sent from this county to the Asylum since January 1st, and twenty since the beginning of this fiscal yfar, on November l3t. A sneak thief entered the room of Mr. Tom Young, in the rear of Hugbson & Co.'s drug store on Saturday night, and took a valise filled with clothing.

Brown is being repaired and repainted for the ?ura'er Dry Goods i Company, which will begin business anout j September 1st. Complaints are heard every lew days from ! ! peon le who get left a; the depot by mistaking : j their trains. This is not surprising as four t ; trains leave within a short ;ime every after I noon i The Sumter Camp Woodmen of the World \ j will be organized this evening at the ? Masonic Temple at 8.30 o'clock. There will probably be twenty to twenty-five charter members ot the camp, i A crowd of young men went to Bbhop ' ville Sunday to ?ttend ttie revival services ! I ?-eintr conducted there hy Rev Tom Lei'Ch. j j Messrs. R. T. Carr, li W:. Hood and E. Elva j i Solomons made the trip on their wheels. ; Messrs. Allan Flowers. Charlton Barren und ; Wiilis Sanders rode to Bishopv?Se on their wheels on Saturday. Frank Ross and William Brnnsoo,(col.) be- j came involved in a row Thursday night while returning from a barbecue and da-.ce, held ut the pavilion on Graham's boulevard. The row was brought to a sudden termination by ' Bronson shooting R ?ss in the forehead'. The shot was a glancing one. and -the wound was slight, nothing but the scalp was injured. A numerously attended pic nie was held at j Stateburg Thursday bj a crowd of young people from this city Tne greater part of I the pic nicers wer.t out in buggies and sur? reys, but a few went to Wedgefield hy the morning train and rode from that point on their wheels. The day was pleasantly spent by all who attended, j The Sura'er Gun Club had a shooting j match at the Gun Club grounds last Thursday morning. The shoot consisted of seven events io which Col. J. P. Brock and Mr. H. P. Plowden, of Clarendon, participated, as well as the members of the club. These gen? tlemen did some fine shooting. Maj. Moise, as usual, made the bes; record. Mayor Pierson has assigned the terms of i th* members of the Board of Health, recently elected, as provided by law. He made the assignments by lot, so that there could not be any dissatisfaction. 'The term3 of the members are as follows: jGeo. D. Shore, 5 j years : W. M. Graham, 4 years : Dr. J. A. Mood, 3 years ; Dr. S. C. Baker, 2 years ; Dr Archie China, 1 year Sol J. Ryttenberg, who participated in the Great Bicycle Meet in Jacksonville, Fla., oe July 4, entered for four e~ents. He won first in the 2.40 class, first in the three minute class, third in the mile open and second in the quarter mile open. This is a very flattering record, when the large num? ber of riders of note who took part io the contest is considered. From residents of different parts of the county who were io town Monday,it was learn? ed that a number of the Conservative Clubs met on Saturday and elected delegates to the Conservative Convention to be held on Fri? day. The sentiment for and against the division of delegates appears to be anout evenly divided, and until the convention has j met and acted it is hazard to make a guess j as to the result. The rain Sunday night extended over a wide I area and in nearly ali sections it was needed. The crops have been growing rapidly during the last few weeks and have required a large amount of moisture. The corn crop has im? proved wonderfully, and with one or two more rains at the right time a good crop of corn is assured Cotton, tobacco and peas are in fine condition. Gum chewiog appears to be on the increase rather than waning. Some people, young ladies, to be more explicit, and a lot of more than half grown boys, who are not supposed to count, even find it necessary ?o thetr peace of mind and enjoyment to chew gum auto? matically during services in the churches. A well-favored young woman doing her best to j pulverize a wad of gum with her jaws as she i trips up the church aisle is not spectacle conducive to devoutness in the mind of the average man. Deputy Sheriff Jas. H. Light, of Orange burg, carried James Sistrunk. colored, to the Penitentiary Saturday morning. Sistrunk is an escaped convict with a record. He es? caped from the Penitentiary in 1880 and was captured after a year or two, only to escape again in 1889. Since that time he has heen at large. He bas lived in North Carolina most of the time, until located and captured a few days ago. j Mrs. Ann Pauline Moody, nee Tindal, of i Rafting Creek, the widow of Chas. Moody, ! was committed to the Asylum yesterday. ; She has been insane for several years, and ! was examined for admission to the Asylum in 1893, but owing to the opposition of her hus? band was not sent to the Asylum. Since Mr. Moody's death she has become violent and wholly unmanageable and it was found neces i sary to commit ber to the Asylum for safe J keeping. j At the regular meeting of Game Cock Lodge j K. of P., Monday night the following cora j mittee was appointed to arrange for an ex j cursion ; I. C. Strauss. H. C. Moses, J. A. I Schwerin, Abe Ryttenberg, F. M. Spaun, H W7. Hood, E. I. Reardon. It has not been decided where the excursion will be run to. The committee has the power to say when the excursion shall be held and where it ? shall go. i A crowd of men and boys who have been j at work painting the old box cars in the C. S. ?fN. yards were discharged Monday j without receiving the wages due them. This ? morning they were considering measures for ; collecting tbe money due for work. Some of j the crowd were for attaching the cars on j which they have been working, while others ? were in favor of doing nothing until they j can hear from Atlanta, the headquarters of ; the road vh'.Ji has leased the cars, j A box car on a side track between the A. C. L. freight depot and the turn table was ; broken open Friday night by two persons, a man wearing a number 8 shoe and a bare? footed boy, supposed to be about sixteen years old. At least, this is what the officers say after examining the tracks around the car. It is not known what quantity of goods was stolen, as the car was not consigned io this point, and until't is learned what the car contained, the extent of the robbery will not be known. A box of advertising matter and a package of wrapping paper were found in the field near the box car. The railroad officials will make e^ery exertion to capture the robbers, as they wish to break up the gang tha' commits such frequent depreda tions in the vicinity of Sumter. Pomona Grange No. ll.

T. GREEK, JR. Rec. Sec'y. The first business meeting of the new asso? ciation year will be held Thursday night at 8.15 o'clock. Let every-oember be present, as matters of importance will come up for action. Tom Dixon's Lecture. Rev. Thomas Dixon's lecture on "Back? bone" is said to be his greatest effort, and the writer can easilv believe it, for it would require an effort of the imagination to con? ceive of any thiog more eloquent, forcible or j rhetorically more chaste and beautiful than I the lecture he delivered in the Opera House j on Wednesday evening. Dixon is an orator j of unusual ability, possessing all the quali j ties that enables a man to bold an audience j subject to his mind and will for hours. His I presence is striking, his voice is magnifi . cent and under the most perfect control, en ? abling him to express by intonations what ; in others would require sentences, j The lecture was filled with thought forci j bly and originally expressed, and the au ! dience was fully convinced that the Dixon ! conception of "Backbone"' was the correct j one. His hearers were charmed by his ora j tory, impressed by his thought and convinc j ed by his reasoning. - mm , i mum Mysterious. ! One of our citizens quietlv riding home i Monday evening on horse back was suddenly , caught in a whirlwind.

Don't forget the meeting I to-night. --~mmm>- mmm -- Hood's Pills have won high praise for j their prompt and efficient yet easy action. Watermelons are being brought to towo I by the wagon load nearly every day, but the i price .. still up. j A crowd of young men celebrated the ? Fourth hy holding a fish-fry at DesChamps' I mill. They h.-.d an abundance of fish and i the celebration was a great success. A Pure Baking Powder. A baking powder that can be depended to j be free from lime and alura -is a desideratum : in these days of adulterated food. So far as ! can be judged from the official reports, the ? "Royal" seems to be the only one yet found I by chemical analyses to be entirely without one or the o"her of these substances, and absolutely pure. This, it is shown, results from the exclusive use by its manufacturers of cream tartar specially refined and pre : pared by paten; processes which totally re? move the tartrate of lime and other impuri? ties. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used in no baking powder except the "Royal," the manufacturers of which control the patents under which it is refined. Dr. Edward G Love, formerly analytical chemist for 'the L*. S. Government, who made the analyses for the New York State Board of' Health ,in their investigation of baking pow? ders, and whose intimate knowledge of the ingredients of all those sold in this market enables him to speak authoritative'}-, sa\s of the purity, wholesomeness and superior quality of the "Royal." "I find the Royal Baking Powder com? posed of pure and wholesome ingredients. lt is a cream of tartar powder, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substance." Prof. Love's test?, and the recent officiai tests by both the I.'nited States and Canadian (iovernments, show the Royal Making Pow der to be superior to all others in strength and leavening power. It is not only the most economical in use, but makes the purest, finest flavored and most wholesome food. RYTTENBERG WINS LAURELS Result of Races in Jacksonville An Orlando Star.
