The statement of 'he condition of the Sitnonds Na'ional Bank at the close of busi? ness on the 11th ins'ant, is puhli-hed to-day under the call of the Comptroller of the j Currency. The large amount of thedeyo/ns, ! for this time of year, shows that the bank bas the confidence of those who have surplus roonev, and the comparatively small amount of "Bills Payable" account indicates that the bank is able to handle its busire?s without requiring much outside funds. Our young townsman, Hugh Hay ns worth who has been elected principal of the West End Graded School in Greenville, is thus spoken of by the papers of that city. Baptist Courier: Mr Hugh C. Havns worth. of Sumter, who graduated from Fur man University at the last commencement, taking the A. B course, was elected a few days ago the principal of the West End Graded School, Greenville. Mr. Haynsworth is a talented young man and we predict for bim a brilliant future. Mountaineer: The selection of the prin? cipal of the West End School is an excellent one. Mr Haysworth is well known here, where he has attended Furman University for the last three years. During his whole course at the University be stood at the head I of his classes, making one year an average ! on ali final examinations of ninety-nine and I a fraction. Mr. Haysworth graduated this year, taking be degree of Bachelor of Arts, . which fact is io itself a sufficient guarantee ! of his scholarship ano ability. -~mmm- -. -? Peaches of good quality are very scarce. A two story annex is being built to the ? Curtis house. The weather reports indicate continued fair j weather and a high temperature. It begins to look as if the season will pass \ without a game of ball in Sumter. The Sumter Gun Club will meet at club i grounds on Thursday afternoon. Ice cream festivals are at a discount, and few are sorry, j The watermelon trust has "busted." Three i for a dime to-day. How many differeut articles can be made ; from taloon sleeves when tight sleeves be I come fashionable ? ! The addition to the A. C. L passenger i depot will be made on the end next to the I freight depot. The condition of Main Street as a drive i way, might t<e worse, but that it might be a i great deal better than it is goes without say I Subscribe for The Item and don't borrow i another man's paper. Ten cents a week is a i small sum to pay for all the news six days in ' the week. ! Cowa that are tied out on the streets and I allowed to stay on the sidwalks, or are led j on the sidewalks, are liable to arrest. The I Chief of Police has said so. A train of ten refrigerator cars filled with i peaches passed through Monday morning. The peaches came from the peach region of Geor? gia and were bound for Philadelphia and New York. Some peop^ express the gravest 3ort of doubt about the Delgar-Independent reel race ever takiDg place. It has been hanging up for a long time. The beard of directors of the Sumter Bi I cycle Track and Park Association held a j meeting yesterday and ordered an assessment of five per cent, on all stock. The crowd of drummers continues to come and go. From the unusually large number on the road, one would judge that the whole? sale men believe in better times. The jail ?3 fortunately very thinly popu? lated at present It is said to be a very warm place when the mercury crawls up about 90 io the shade. The reporter learns that the new bicycle and driving track is not one of the things that w?3 based upou talk and imagination, but that it has solidity aoout it. In truth it may be said bean assured fact for next season. The popularity of The Daily Item ?3 attested by the number of summer travellers who have the paper following them from one place to another as they go here and there in search of pleasure. The Mayor's Court has recently become a thing of very little consequence, as it is very rarely that any one is before toe Mayor for violating the city ordinances. The Knights of Pythias excursion is de? clare off. The committee in charge of the arrangements for the excursion found that it would not be advisable to undertake it and decided against having it. The Bermuda, gra?3 lawns are as green and fresh looking as io early spring. Berm-.i'ia grass :s peculiarly :idai?ted to Kiis climate. The handsomest lawn in this city, and one that attracts much attention, is that o: Mr. Neill O'Donnell on Liberty s?ree*..

Conservative Convention. SUMTKR. S. C , July 20, 1895. The Conservative Convention is hereby cahed io reconvene in ?he Court House nf ten thirty o'clock a. m., on Friday, the 26th instant, pursuant to the order of adjourn? ment, to transact such business as may come before it MARION M GISH, President of the Convention. THE TEMPLARS MEET. The Grand Lodge, I. 0. G., met yesterday at 10.30 o'clock in the Masonic Temple, and proceeded ?t euee to transact the routine business incidental to the fir3t session of the Grind Lodge. The reports showed the order LO be in a somewhat better condition than it has been for sometime in the recent past, but even now the order is much weaker numeri- ; cally than it was a few years ago. The offi- ; errs are hopeful that there will be a revival of interest in the temperance cause, as repre se nt ed by the I. 0. G. T.., and there will be j a rapid and substantial growth in the mern bersbip. An address of welcome was delivered at j the Baptist church on last evening, at 8 30 | o'clock, bv Rev C. C. Brown, and responses j were made hy G. C T. Rev. J. L. Sifley, and ; P. G. C. T. Rev. E 0. Watson. Broke the Fire Box. Monday afternoon when tbe Columbia, Newberry and Laurens train, due at Colum bia at 4.20, was about two miles above that ! city, the eccentric rod broke, while the en? gine was going at a good rate of speed, and bef?te one could speak, a hole the size of a man's head hud been knocked into the fire box The water from the boiler gushed out and the train came to a standstill. The Coast Line engine had to be sent from Columbia to pull the train down. This delay caused the train on the Const Line to be about one hour late leaving Columbia. A part of the lost time was made up between Columbia and this city, but the train ceme in late. Visit tc the Catawbas Mr. McDonald Furraan, of Sumter county, has been visiting the Catawba Indians. The Indians treated nirn with great hospitality, and he has written JO interesting account of bis visit ; nut a9 to whether he got any in? formation on the line desired, does not yet appear. Tne Indians are not especially in? teresting talkers. Some people are inclined to attribute this to a disposition to keep things to themselves ; but we suspect that the j teal secret is to tie found in the fact that they ! koow very little to tell.-Vorkville Enquirer. All Wrong at Pregnall's Manager John A. Smith, of tbe Freight Bureau, of Charleston, is trying to have the railroad commission cause better freight and passenger arrangement to be made at Preg nall's. Mr. Smith alleges that the transfers at that point are not as they ought to be - Nietos and Courier. The passenger depot of the A. C. L.. will be enlarged to accommodate the demands of the increased traffic. The enlargement has been needed quite a long while, aud the traveling public, which has been long-suffer? ing and patient, will, with one accord, con? gratulate itself. The extent of the enlarge? ment bas not been announced, but it is to be boped that in time the Coast L ? officiate will see fit to erect a shed fl acks ard inclose the depot and sheds to keep the crowd of loafers and idiers from crowding around passenger trains and blocking the platforms. As it is the crowd on the plat? form when the morning and evening trains arrive, is a nuisance to passengers. The addition to the A. C. L. passenger depot proves to be a rather abbreviated af? fair-nothing more than an extension of the platform and shed at 0De end of the depot. A large number of boys have tots of sport behind tbe flood gates at Blanding's mill every afternoon. A fine lot of attractions is b?ing booked for the Opera House this season. The mana? gers say that they will have the best on the road and the best that have ever visited Sum? ter. Capt. A. C. Phelps and Mr. H. D. Moise were before the mayor Saturday for rid? ing on the streets without lamps attached to their bicycles. They plead guilty aod were fined $2 each. Mr. Abe Schultz, of Newbern, N. C., ha3 rented one of the stores ic the McGuiones block and will open a general merchandise business in September. It is said that he will carry a large stock cf goods and proposes to make an effort to obtain a share of the trade. The politicians are busily discussing tbe situation in this county and already not less than forty different opinions have been ad? vanced. Some of the politicians have four or five different opinions, and none amount to anything. Dispensary patrons are already beginniog I to call for that ll cents a half pint whiskey, i Dispenser Lee bas not received the new price list, and until he does the old scale will be j adhered to. The best he can do for the fel ! low who wants a cheap drink is a half pint I for fifteen cents. James Montgomery, a sixteen year old ne? gro boy, who bas been an inmate of the Poor I House for some length of time, went crazy i last week and was so violent that it was ,' necessary to send him to the Asylum. He j was ?accordingly sent over to Columbia oSuuday where* he was admitted to the I Asylum. Sol Williams, a negro boy apparently i about eighteen or nineteen years old, was ; arrested Monday morning by Policeman Weeks ; and committe? to the Guard House. The 'boy stole two turkeys from the premises of j Richard Thompson on Saturday night, and sold them for one dollar. Since his arrest he has confessed bis gulit, and pleads in extenuation that he was hungry. He claims Florence as his home, and says that be bas been in Sumter less than two weeks. An excursion train of five coaches came up j from Charleston Monday morning. With the ' exception ot ten or tineen white people, the crowd of excursionists wa3 composed entire? ly ot negroes. A very large crowd of ne? groes were at the depot to meet the train and when the excursionists poured off the packed coaches there was a jam on the platform that rivaled circus days, when old John Robin? son and his show wa3 the boss attraction. The excursionists brought a band along, and headed by this they marched up Main Street and scattered over the city. A seven year old son of D^n Davis, a colored labor employed at the mill of the Lukens Lumber Co., fell into the trough into which the bot water pipe trom the dry kiln discbarges and w.-is terribly scalded Thurs? day afternoon. Th" trough WHS filled with boiling water and one arm and side of the boy was ?0 severely burned that the skin peeled off iu large flakes, lie wns *!m?i;: crazed with pam, and jumping iron: the boiling wnter be ran to tbe lc*- Factory near by and sprang into a barre! ot cold water .:? the vain effort to alleviate the terrible pain that he was suffering. The boy ;.? still suffering intense pain, bat :t is hoped that he will recover from his injuries. That Tired Feeling should be overcome al once <<r ?t may e:.d most seriously.

Whet) the Reform convention adjourned on Saturday without having taken any action in refeience to accepting the compromise offered br the Conservatives there wa3 a great deal of dissatisfaction expressed by the moderate Reformers who were sincere in a desire to avoid a factional ri tr b t in Sumter County. A number of these held a caucus and decided to cali a mass meeting independ? ently of the regular Reform organization, and take 3teps th?t would secure peace between ; the faction* and a division of delegates, j Thev united in signing a request that Mr. H. . R. Thomas call a mass meeting, and it was generally understood that the ma33 meeting would?be cal ed for next Friday, and th?t it would be composed of conservative Reform? ; ers who desired to accept the proposition , made by the Conservatives. Since then, however, there has been a deal of consultation among the Reform leaders, j Mr. Thomas has been to Columbia, and it is j said consulted with Gov. Evans; and to-day he issued his call for the Reform convention : to re-assemble, and not for the mass meeting, | as desi ted by those who signed the request \ directed to him. What will be the action of the reconvened Reform convention no man caa predict. If it could be judged by the meeting of Satur? day, the writer would say a bigger row. worse confusion and nothing done; but no one who bas had any knowledge of the ac? tion of past conventions in this county would be willing to risk a prediction. At present the political situation on the Reform side of the house is very much mixed and very confusing. Chairman H. R. Thomas on Monday sent out the following circular : SUMTER. S C., July 20, 1895. We, the ntidersingned. respectfully petition Mr. H R. Thomas to call a mass meeting of Reformers favoring a division of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, to decide whit action shall oe taken. [Signed] R P. Stackhouse. B. P Kelley, W. W.
