Our Privateer letter was received too late i for publication in this issue. Peaches are olentiful and cheao, but the. quality is not of the best. Housekeepers are putting up a supplv for winter use. The corn crop is safe, and it is the best average crop and the largest acreage ever made ir. Sumter county. The LeConteand Kieffer pear trees in and around this city are laden with magnificent fruit. Hog'Choiera has been prevalent and very | fatal in some sections of the county, y Miller Mayrant, colored, was arrested on Monday fcr breaking into a trunk belonging to Jules Martin, and appropriating several i articles to his own use. The City Board of Health will have to elect a health officer for the city at not a verv distant date, and several candidates for the j position have been in the field for sometime A water main at the corner of Republican and Sumter Streets b?rstet on Monday and flooded the streets before the breaks was di?- ! covered and the water cut off. A hot wave is getting in'pretty good work i now. The last several days were scorchers. The Florence Times is authority for the ; statement that one of the reel teams of that i city has made a record in a practice race of 21 seconds. Delgar and Monaghan squads j will have to hustle to better that record Trial Justice Wells has committed Moses ! Pringle and - Lea colored, to jai! for : trial at the next term of court, for hog steal- I ing A stag party went out to Cain's Mill last Thursday night on a fish fry and spent a couple of hours very pleasantly. Chickens and eggs are said to be scarce ir. j this market. A very large rattlesnake was exhibited on j tbestreete Fridrfy morning by a negro from the | country. The snake was unusually large in proportion to its length, and had fifteen rat tles and a button. The base ball team that went to Camden last week was badly beaten. Score 23 to 2 in favor of Camden in a five in ning game. Any one having old Confederate rnooey or Bonds which they desire to dispose of cun learn something to their advantage by con sulting J. A. Schwerin or Sol. J Ryttenberg. A negro man went to sleep oo the A. C. L ; track about three miles from this city last week and was knocked off by the night i freight. Tl;e negro was unhurt, with the ex- i ceptioo of a few bruises and the loss of a patch of skin from one of his legs. It seems that negroes who get in the way of trains in this vicinity c??rry charmed lives. A large number of persons who should ' have paid the license imposed by the City Council last September on all lines of busi ness and all professions have failed to do so, and that now the patience of the City fathers is exhausted by iong waiting, rigorous mea sures are to he resorted to in order that the license fees may be collected and turned into i the City Treasury. All persons or firms who j are liable for this license and have heretofore - evaded or postponed payment will have to i pay up at once or there will be trouble. Supt. H. B. Bloom last Friday afternoon made a public test of the water system for j the benefit of Mr. Marburg, the representa tive of the Southeastern Tariff Association, , who is in the city. He turned on four streams of water within the fire lim i is to show how abund<int the supply of water is ? and how strong the pressure. He had one Stream playing on the Opera House and ; another on the Masonic Temple at the same I time. The Sumter water system is one of the 1 finest in the South, and if the abundance of water and its availability for use in fightin" fire at ail tim^s, are matters that er-.ter into consideration when insurance rates are fixed the Southeastern Tariff Association should ;:oaie down a peg or two on the rates of in surance that property owners in Sumter have : ceen required to pay. Mr. Marburg has piade a careful inspection of the water system >f the city, including the pumping station iod 9tandpipe, and Mr. Bloom supplied him with foil data <:oncerning the operation of the :dant, the capacity of the standpipe and the iverage pressure maintained. The population of the jail was increased Sunday night by the incarceration of Noah I 3i?30n, John Lewis and Henry Pitts, col- ; ired. who were captured by Messrs. Jim '< fames, Wil ie Reames. Edwin Re?nes and lohn Dixon. wr;!e in the act of robbing the rouse of Mr. Joe! Reames, which is located m the Mayesville road about miles distant rora this city. A fourth r.egro who whs with he gang of burglars made his escape, but ' nil be arrested unless he made all pos ible speed to get out ot the coin.try that ? nght. The name of the escaped burglar is aid to be Zip Williams, and tie j;: well mown to the gentlemen who captured the < ?ther three. Mr. Reames1 house was broken ? riti) by burglars sometime ago and about 1 r>rty dollars worth of goods stolen, h:?? for orne reason it was suspected that the sanse aog would attempt to rob the house guir. Sunday night. A uu:?r:l was accord igiv set and af'er waiting awhile the : -ut ; egroes made their appearance and proceeded l> effect an entrance. The four men on ? uard dosed ;:: on the negroes and made ?, bree ot them prisoners. They were brought : once to jai! for safe keeping. i THE BASE BALL GAME. Mouaghan Nine Defoars Tbe Del gars in a Hotly Contested Game by a Score of 3 to 2. The prettiest pme of oh!! of the season j wr<j played at the- hase bell perk Monday i afterroon her ween picked nines from Mona- j ?hnn and Delgar Reel Squads The game was railed promptly at 5.30 \ o'clock with Mr J. A. Schwerin notine as j umpire. Villeneuve and Wilder were the j ' hatterv for Monae'nan. whilp Ingram and ; : Miller held the points for Delgar. The game from neginning to end was in- : tersely interesting and the few spectators ; present evidenced their appreciation of the j efforts by hearty cheers. It is a shame that so few persons attended the game. The young men who compose j these squads are among the best of Somier and are volunteers in the work of j saving life and property, yet when they offer to the people (the people whose lives and property they do protect) of our city an even ing's entertainment for a beggarly sum, in order that they might raise a little money, the people do not patronise them. People of Snmter, this shonld not be ; yon owe much i to Delear and Monaghan Squads, and n ou j should ever be ready to lend them a helping band in whatever legitimate enterprises they set on foot. Freight receipts are piling up every day. The merchants are buying larger stocks this year. " j Tbe fisherman sneak thief, who quietly lifts j your trousers, coat and vest ont of the open window with a stick, while you sleep, is in town. Better tie a string to your pants. The tobacco ::hreak'' at the warehouse on the 29th, will attract a iarge crowd a* there i are a great many peoni?* who want to see how J a tobacco sale is conducted. The work cf putting down the drains at , the graded fcbool ha? been completed. if; this drama : scheme is y success, it will j prove much ess expensive than estimated : that is until the wooden drains decay and j hive to he renewed. The partridge crop wiil not ne as iarge this : year as last. The slaughter by sportsmen ; and pot hunters and the severe winter de- j pleted the numbers of the partridges to such ' an estent that it will he several seasons un der favorable conditions before there will bei as many birds as during the past two years. ? The Rev. j. L Tiilman, tho evangelist, be-- \ gan a series of meetings in this city on last j Sunday afternoon. Thf? first meeting tnd j ??so the meeting? on Moudav, were at 'he ? V. M. C. A. Hall. Since then the meetings I have hern held at the Court House on hc- j count of t-eing more comfortable. Meetings ? ?re held at 10 am and S 30 p. ro. The team of big horses used in the delivery j wagon of the Sumter Ic-e Co., ran awav one j night last week down VI ai street towards the depot. The runaway cam" to an abrupt end near the Episcopal church by the tongue of the wagon striking a 'elegraph pole that stands ! in the middle of 'he street. The wagon ; stopped right there, but the hordes continued ; to run for some distance. The damage was ; triffiing and neither man nor beasts were in- ; jured. A j > i 11 meeting of reel squads Nos. 2 and 3 was tield at Firemen's Hall Wednesday even- ? ing. The question of sending a team to ; Atlanta to contest in the great national reel j contest was discussed at some length, but the ; primary object of !he meeting was to consider a proposition to arrange a benefit concert for : the two squads. Dr John Leo, who has had much experience in managing rnini3trel con- ; certs tendered his services in arranging the concert, and the offer was accepted. The concert will be given as soon as the arrange ments can be completed. It wiP.be one of I tbe best ministrel shows ever given in Sum- j ter and well worth a liberal patronage. | Details concerning the concert and the dateon which it will be given wilj be published ! later. The German held Thursday night at the old ! Jervey House was, as usual, a very pleasant aff-iir and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The ! following couples were present: Miss Kate Pollock and Mr. Don. Auld ; Mis3 Hattie Ryttenberg and Mr. Loui3 Lyon: Mi33 Beat rice Nolan and Mr. Graham Moses; Miss Arabella Moses and Mr. I. A. Rvttenberg; j Miss Etta Rosendorf and Mr. Sol. J. Rytten- ! berg; Miss Pauline Saoders and Mr. W. ! Lionel Moise; Miss Kate Mose3 and Mr. Her-i ben Moses; .Miss Lillian Moses and Mr. Wil- j mot Kershaw ; Miss Louise Moses and Mr. , Perry Moses; M:S3 Tavie Moses and Mr. F. K. Winn. Thestags were Messrs. Moses J. Moore, Frank Anderson, Jackson Harby, ; Willie Burgess. The extension of the Harlin City branch of ; the old C. S. & N. road to connect with the ' Manchester and Augusta R. R. will be com- j pleted on the 28th and open for traffic. I There will be a general change of schedule of j trains running on the C. S. 4 N. road about the first. In the absence of definite informa- j tion it cannot be stated exactly what the j changes will be. Some of tbe best informed I railroad men say that after the Harlin City j and Lone Star extension is opened up for ? traffic the trains over the C. S. & N. will run 1 via the M. & A. a'id Harlin City to Pregnalls. I The section of the C. S. & N. between this1 point and the Santee River will be operated , by the Wilson and Suraraerton Railroad, j The trains will probably run from this city : to St. Pauls and thence via the Wilson and ? Summerton R. R , to Wilson on the Central j Railroad. Episcopal Council Journal. The Rev. John Kershaw has placed on our 1 table the Journal of the one hundred and fifth annual Council. It is a well printed : book of two hundred and fifty pages and contains a large amount of information ; respecting the Episcopal Church in South I Carolina. Among o'.her items we note that there are 54 clergymen in the Diocese. 18 pos- ? rulati's and candidates for orders, 45G. con- j tinned for the year ending May 1st. 1895, ; 7.602 communicants, offerings from ?11 sour ces and tor all objects $77.459 05. jLost Their Chance. Several of our citizens, members of the j city Democratic Club, were unable after dili- ? gent search to find their registration ceriifi- j cates and were therefore unable to vote to- | day. The certificates were put away so care fully that they might as well be lost for al! : practical purposes. Glenn Springs. This season has been the must successful in the history of (?ienn Springs, which is deserv edly the most popular resort io South Caro lina, and the reason is now at the height.

The election iri this precinct was unevent ful and quiet. The voting began as soon as the polls opened and continned steadiiv throughout the day At no time w?* there absent a roan ready to take his turn, and at times there were upward of a hundred in line in front of the polling place White men and negroes were treated exactly alike, each man taking his regular 'urn, and if qualified whs permitted to cas* his ballot without delay. That there was no delav the tota! number of votes is proof. Had there been two polling place3 in this city a larger vote would have been cast. The negroes weie fully s-ttisfied with the treatment they received and have so express ed themselves Several of the prominent negroes and one of their candidates have sta'.ed to a representative of this paper their satisfaction with the manner in which the election was managed aod their belief that it was absolutely fair and honest. It was a fair election and an honest count. Winthrop Kormai and Industrial College.
