Oar suggestion that a petition he presented to Governor Evans requesting that the dis pensary be closed on the day of the ci t cus, receives the ameo from nearly everybody in Suinter. The trains on all the roads are doing heavy hauling now The paseeoger train from Bennettsvilltt yesterday morning brought in a large number of people, who were on tbeir way to the Exposition. The recular passenger 'rain from Charles ton, doe here at 9.50 Friday mcraing, did not arrive until 11 o'clock. Several box cars, derailed near Manning this morning, blocked the track and caa?e3 the delay. Main street is a source of annoyance in all kinds of weather. When the sun shines you can hear people crying, "Ob. the dust: the dost!" When it rains you bear the same people saying, "Ob, the slusb; the slush!" The habit of discharging fire arms in the city limits is getting to be a nuisance, and it should be stopped. The report of a eun or pistol is terrifying to the average womnn, and when they are alone at night and a pistol is fired near their place of residence, serious consequences may result. Monday night about 7 o'clock, on Somter street, some miscreant j got fuDny and Bred off bis pistol. The offi- ! cers investigated, bot the bird had flown. Walter Peters, a promising young colored man, died in '.his city Monday night. Young j Peters was a graduate of Claflin College, j After gradaatiDg there be attended a ?rum mar school in BostoD.

Some excitement wns created on Main t Street Saturday afternoon by a negro who bad been cut on the shoulder. He got into a ' difficulty io a back lot, received a stab in the ; shoulder and rushed out on the street, calling for the police. The officer went in search of ! the fellow who had done the cutting, but be ' could not find him. Rev. C C. Brown and Mr. W. G. \Vells were given the "Protective Degree" of the Woodmen of the World ?t Holly Wood Camp last week They are both well versed in the mysteries of "Wood Craft', now, and will in future he good choppers, as they are, ; no doubt, well acquainted with the "Forest of the Woodmen of the World." We suggest that Dr. Brown organize a 'possum and coon bunt, or a rail splitting contest and invite! the public to participate. "Paw," inquired Tommy Tucker, "when it was young did tbey call it Boy bat tan Isl and?"?Chicago Tribune. DEATH. Mrs. E. . Williams, mother of our fellow townsmen Mr. T. P.

Tbe freight receipts at the depot are the largest for years.: The force of clerks seems to be too small, as ih* men are working day and night, and yesterday the office men worked most of tbe day. Condoctor Zdgler and Engineer Wolfe bave ebarge of the nassenger run on the C. S.andN R. R. Yard-master Pope bas his bands full try ing to keep tbe tracks clear. Eighteen cars of transfer freight at the de pot bad tbe boys bustling tbis morning. Mr T. V. Walsh, Jr , one of tbe tfficieot clerks in tbe freight department is confined to bis b^d by sickness C?pt. W. H. Simpson, who has been a conductor on the C. S. and N. R. R. since the first train passed over this road, has re-j signed his position Capt Simpson's many! friends will hear of tbis with great reeret. We were at ibe Coast Line depot this morn- j ing tod there is a great reform needed there in regard to tbe movement of trains. Tbe yard is so small thatit is impossible to bnngall : tbe trains on tbe main line before leaving tbe | station, and very often persons desiring to board tbe cars bave to hunt up their train; and ron the risk of getting on the right one. What we need is a passeog-r shed and more j track Since writing the above we learn that it is the intention of the Const Line authorities, , at an early day. to institute reforms men- j tinned. This will be a great convenience to ? the public and we hope it wili not be long before we snail fee tbe old freight depot moved out of the way and the passenger shed erected.

His acquaintance wiih the city and the peonie of .Sumter, and his well-known ability in this line is a guarantee that the work will be well done.
