The merchants ar* all opening their stocks of fall goods and Sumter is beginning to take on a bri?k and fal!-?ke appearance. The I cool and cloudy weather to-day adds to thi { deception, and the clerks are all busy arrang ing and marking goods with an energy that speaks volumes of r>eltef in eight cent cotton. It is to be hoped that none wtll.bedisap pointed, that tbe cotton crop will sell tor eight cents and that the trade this year wiil be the biggest for years. Sumter has bad hard times enough to satisfy the most pessi mistic. The outlook is encouraging and rbr croakers are retiring from the ield. There is no necessity for calling attention j to the announcement of the Sumter Dry j Good* Company, for the announcement wiil | be seen as soon as the paper is opened The ? Sumter Dry Goods Company is an enterprise j for whicb we bespeak a liberal patronage, ? for it will deeerve it at the hand* of the j public. The young men who have establish- j ed the company have years of experience in j the business and bave learned all the details of the dry goods and notion trade by hard j work and close attention. Ttey are in close touch with the public and will always keep a full stock of seasonable good3and their prices will be as close as 'he market will permit, j They buy for cash and will sell strictly for cash, and in this way will be able to make ihe prices closer than where a business is run 00 the credit system.

Fie was a faithful 3oldier, und when she fftir w?s over he remained true to bis f; lends and was h 'rue and tried democrat. The Gospel Met.tines at the Court House nre ?Hended by large congregations and the interest is increasing. The meetings will continue to be held this week. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. C.

Within a few short weeks all of the schools of this city will open for the fall session and the school children will have to forego the pleasures of vacation and take up their stu dies. The Sumter Institute will open on Sep- j 'ember h. The prospect is for a full at tendance in all departments, and President j Wilson is looking forward with confidence j to a successful year's work.

The steady rise in the price of cotton and the evidence that the crop will be shor1" and the demand strong has sort-ad a feeling of hopefulness throughout the South. Sumter has tieen quick to respond to the better feel ine and everybody is talkinu about better times and "Wer business. Sumter is certain to do an immense business this fail, if the piice of cotton keeps up, and the merchant who reglects ? keep his business before the puh?c by judicious advertising, will be left. And right here we want the merchants to sticK pjn.

Mr. H Lee Scarborough, who was elected last summer to the office of Treasurer over Capt. I). E. Keels the incumbeDt, will be given bis office witbin the next few days Gov Evacs appointed him early in the year, but for some unexplained reason his commis sion has been withheld, although his bond and oath of office were sect over to the Secretary of State months ago The continuance of Capi. Keels in an office to which another had been elected in a pri mary and then appointed by the Governor has 1-een the c?u?e a great deal of inquiry and surmise. Mr Scarborough has t>een treated unjustly by those in power is the general opinion of those acquainted with the circumstances At last, however, the powers that be have decided to tr.rn Capt. Keels out and give the office to ihe righitul officer. Mr. Scarbor ough received a letter from Secretary of State Tompkina this morning, in which be was informed that if be would send over his bond and oath of office his commisssion would tie forwarded at once. Mr. Scarborough replied by telegraph that the bond and oath had been on file in the Secretary's office for several months, aud that by looking for them the trouble of pre paring a new bond and oath would be saved. In a short lime a telegram was received, stating that the bend and oath had i?een found and that the. commission would be forwarded immediately. Hence it is now Treasurer Scarborough. Capt. Keels' removal coming -o soon after his defeat on Tuesday 13 a delegate to the Constitutional Convention has a peculiar appearance, to say the least. The administration of affairs by tlve dominant element passes understanding, and it is futile to endeavor to explain how or why anything is or is not done by them. Mr H. L Scarborough received his com mission as Treasurer of Sumter County yester day morning from the Secretary of State. The commission was issued Monday. Mr. Scar borough has received notice from Comptroller Norton that he would come to Sumter be tween the 6th and 10th of September to make a find settlement with Treasurer Keels, and that he must be present when the settlement was made.
