To-day eloquent speeches were made by McGowan, Patton, Sbeppard and others.

Mr. Editor: If I am not mistaken, at the last session of the Legislatore, provision was made for the establishment of a Board of Health for the city of Sumter. Under this Act an election was he'd, and we all know the result. The Bofrd as elected met immediately and organized, and proceeded to perfoim all other duties required of them. Mr. E. I. Reardon was elected Heaith Officer aod is ready to perform his duties, but there seems to be a hitch somewhere and the machinery of the Board is not working. The inquiry can be heard on every side, j j "What's the matter ?" and the writer asks ! i the same question. There are parts of the! j city needing attention, then why this delay ? : Mr. Editor, unless those in authority make ; some move in ? h : 3 mailer, there is every rea- j son to believe sickness will result.

There wa9 another large sale of tobacco at the warehouse last Friday. From the surrounding counties the plant ers continus to come. Every day or so a oew man finds his way to Sumter, and an other name 13 r.rided to the already lone list of the patrons of the Surater Tohacco Ware house. Mr. S. W. Gowdy, of Williamsbnrp, brouzht his first lot of tobacco to Surater Friday, and after the sale expressed himself as biehly pleased, and said he would bring all of his tobacco to this market hereafter. Mr. M. McClan, of Clarendon, divided one of bis barns, taking half to Darlington and half to Sumter. The lot brought here netted him about $50 more than that taken to Dar lington. We claim Sumter to be the best market in the State. We do not ask you to believe this until you have proven it to be a fact. Do as Mr. McClan has done and be convinced. --*^*-*-m? - The Coast Line Makes a Big Cut in the Salaries of Some of Its Employees. j There is considerable unre3t among the i Coast Line employees Monday. A reduction in salaraies announced Sunday is tbe cause. Tbe baggage masters on some of the runs have been cut $10 per month; so have tbe brakemen and conductors. Why this cut and how long it will continue in operation no one cao tell. It is certainly a hardship on the men who serve this corpo ration so faithfully. At this particular time when the business outlook is so bright, when the traiomen are handling more business than for some time, it does seem strange that this cut should be made. There is some differ ence between this move of the Coast Line people ; and that of a big northern road a few day3 ago. This system, tbe Chesapeake and Ohio, anoounced that in addition to the regular salary of their employees, they would give a fair proportion of all earnings. Meteorological Record.

This lady was Miss Jessie Beat?n, who mar ried the Iate'CcL John G. Fremont, the fa mous explorer, who was a leading candidate for president in 1856. When Coi. Fremont b;c.-ime engaged to Miss Ben ton, she was a lass o? fifteen p.nd could not have Deer: much older ihan thai when she was married. Lit tle Miss Beckham has a ma'.ernal aur?t named Jessie, in honor of Mrs. Fremont. Several of our citizens attended the rece::t meeting of tbe Santee Baptist Association at Manning. Mr. Matt Ramsey estimates that the cotton crop \3 cut eff ooe-third, owicg first to the rains and then the recent io'ense heat. A while back Mr. John A. Baker (who lives at the old Pugb place), found a potato in his patch which weighed ihres pouods; it was a cro.-s between tbe yam and queen va rieties. Should he find rainy such specimens, Mr. Baker may be considered as one of tbe champion potato growers of the county, just as another citizen of our township, Mr. Rich ard Tisdale, may very properly be classed as one of the ckarapion watermelon growers of the county. Mr. Willie Kolb is a striking example of the health of o'jr sectioo. He is 37 years old, of those years only eleven have been passed outside the township, and in all that time be has been confined to the house not longer than three days at one time?then be had measies. A gentleman of this township hns, among his mementoes, an exceedingly interesting relic of the past. I: is the "red shirt'' te wore in ibe historic political campaign of 1876. Is there another instance in the coun ? ty where snch a shirt has been preserved by the man who wore it? Speaking cf this shirt, attention may be called to the fact that ; it will be nineteen years next Monday since i tbe Hampton campaign meeting of '76 took place in Sumter. ! There are several cane mills in our town I ship, which shows unmistakably how the j people are turning their attention to the I syrup indiutry. Wade Gains, an aged Rodbooe, of Priva ? teer, recently lost his wife. Kizz'c Blair, an old negro mauma of the community, died several days ago. It has i been remarked of her that she did as much I good and as little barm to tbe white people, . as any other member of her race in the coun I trj. Jake Campbell, of this township, who is one of the negroes appointed on the committee to solicit exhibits for the Colored Industrial Fair at Sumter, used :o be a school trustee of Privateer. Friday night there will be a festival held at the colored Odd Fellows Hall (near tbe Pri vateer station) for the benefit of tbe Lodge. Thr festival will be managed by a committee, one of whom authorizes your correspondent to say that they will be glad for tbeir white friends to come out and natronize them. McD. F.
