He visited the tobacco warehouse while a sale was in progrese and was completely carried away. General Manager Kenly, of the Coast Line was in the city on Monday. Whiie here j several members of tbe Board of Trade inter- j viewed bim in regard to tbe attitude of the Coast Line towards the people of the city of Sumter. Mr. Kenly said it was the desire of bis people to do all they could for Sumter, and in tbe near future he hoped to give Sum ter better railroad facilities tban exist at present. Tbe schedules of tbe trains will be chauged as soon as possible, so as to give Sumter tbe benefit of the schedule. A light frost was observed in some sections of tbe county on Monday morning.

The cold wave struck us Sunday night, but the rain we need so much has not yet arrived. Tbe weather prophets predict rain on or about the ful! of toe moon. The crowd seen in the dispensary these days is an indication (bat the State monopoly is benefitted by tbe rise in the price of cotton as well as other lines of busines s. Samuel J. Wilson, who killed George Mims is still at large, and no particular efforts have been made to capture him, as far as can be learned. John McLeod, who was arre3ted as an ac cessory to tbe murder of Mims, had a pre liminary bearing before Trial Justice E. J. Goodman, and was admitted to bai! in tbe sum of SI,000. The schedule on the M. & A. and C. S. & N. R. R , changed Monday. We have received no correction of the schedule, and conse quently are unable to give our readers the correct time of arrival and departure of trains on these branches. A six year old son of Rev. Job Jackson, colored, of Bossards, was killed about one week ago by the door of a cotton press faliing upon him. He was so badly crushed that death ensued in short time. Two dogs were fighting in front of Mr. R. F. Hoy't place on Main Street, a few days ago, and Mr. Hoyt desiring that they should not blockade the sidewalk kicked one of the animals. For this offense he received a sprained ankle, from effects cf which he was temporarily confined at home several days. Mr Nixon, tbe hustling proprietor cf the Nixon House, has purchased a handsome wagonette and a beautiful pair of horses to be used to convey his patrons to and from the depot. Heretofore persons stopping at the hotels in this city had to pav their hack tare, but hereafter tbev will ride free. The Jervey House also rides its patrons free. Removed. R. M. Jenkins has removed from the Opera ! House store to the stand next to Schwerin & Co., in the White store, where he has a fill line of Groceries, all choice and fresh, and at bottom prices. Deaths. Miss Rebecca Hicks died at (he residence of the late Wm. S. Ellerbe, Hagood, S. C, on the 26th. She was probably 90 years old?no one knows exactly what her nee was, but she remembered the war of 1812. She was born >n England while her purent? j were trnve ing in that country, *nd shortly after their retu"i both of them died, leaving ; her an orphan of h few years?hence the date ; of her birth whs lost A ""ter the denih of her parents she can:** to this county anii was the chance of hpr kit and- : mothP"-.

A demoted member or the B*p- ! ?ist church for sixtv \ears, she p.-.ssed away with every assurance that to her a crown of rejoicing would be given when she en'ered I the pearly gates. Mr. W. W.

His wife preceded him to the grave 'hrte months ago; The funeral serviced will be held at Providence church tbi? afternoon at 4 o'clock. | Rev J C Chandler will officiate Fire About a quarter of ten o'clock Monday nigh ? fire was discovered in a sraa!' building in 'tie I rear of Mis9 McDonald's millinery S'ore The j alarm was given and the fire department whs out in a hurry, and before a great many found out where the blaz* wh?-, the fire had been esttngui.-hed and the reel squads were reeiing up the hose. The fire was among a lot of wooden ouildings, and had it gained much headway before being discovered, would have resulted in a big fin* A email, careless noy put a pan of ashes in a house that was used by Mis* McDonald ' 1 storing empty hat boxes.

The buildings are the property of Mis? McElhose und were insured. Bank Statement. The statement of 'he business of the ink ofSumterfor :be quarter ending September 30th, is published to-day. The amount of ! deposit account shows that "his bank has ifae j confidence of our people, and the amount of j loans and discounts shows that 'he bank is j doing its full duty in accommodating i'S j patrons An Oil Mill for Sumter. We have been informed, and our informant ? is the nest of authority, that a cotton sec. oil j mill will surely be erected in lime for next year's crop. The only reason that it is not here now is because the machinery could not be procured. The gentlemen who will em bark in this enterprise are among our best business men and are working for the up building of our city. There is a dearth of small change in the city, and every dny tne demand grows greater jor it. Our banks would accommodate iheir outrons if they would bring enough in the city to relieve the pressure. The no?ce have received stringent instruc tions to arrest all bicyclists who have ? ot obtained the license for the year beginniug September 1st, 1895 The ordinance requires that the license tag r?e attached to the bicycle, and not carried in the pocket of the holder. The new bicycle license t?.g is diamond shaped, and last years tMg cannot be mis taken for the r.ew tag. The advance in the price of cotton has caused a jump in the price of all cotton fihrics Merchants who gave orders for cotton goods several weeks ago, are informed that they will have to pay the advance in price if they wish to receive the goods. The freight receipts at the A.C. L. depot are very heavy now, and the force of clerks are feing worked pretty hard. All day and a greater part of the night is the way they are working down there. There is now under consideraron by sev eral business men a plan to build another tobacco warehouse at once. The plan bas not been fully matured, but it is asserted that the warehouse will positively be built, and thnt within the next 30 day3. It is said that the new warehouse will be large and conveniently located, and that every facility for the sale, handling and shipment of tohacr-o will be afforded. As soon as the plans of the new warehouse company have been definitely set tled, all the facts in relation to the new to bacco warehouse will be published. The Southern States Magazine for September gives a brief but comprehensive notice of the tobacco crop and market in South Carolina. The three markets mentioned are Suro ter, I Darlington and Florence, and the highest j price mentioned as having been paid for to i bacco this season was S2.50, which was paid J here in Sumter for a choice lot of wrappers The Magazine estimates the value of the pro j duct at Si,569,130 and the net profit to the! j farmers at $875,000. The Citadel cadet? left for Charleston on j ] Monday to resume the daily round cf drills \ ! and recitations. Mr. Kinney Foster, who : ; won the Alumni Cndetship has also gone down : to enter the Citadel. Mr Foster is another ' ; addition to the long list of young men who : \ have been prepared by Mr. T. P.

And a several instances qoys from other counties j have come to Sumter to study under Mr. ?
