Mr. H. R. Jac?son, soliciting agent of the Georgia Railroad, was in the city vestercay looking up visitors to the Atlanta Exposition The Georgia Railroad, in conjunction with the Atlantic Coast Line and South Carolina & Georgia Railway, is the most direct and quick? est route from central and eastern Sooth Carolina, and the schedules are the most con? venient. The through Pullman cars offer ex? ceptional advantages to those 'who desire to travel in comfort. Mr. Jackson is explaining all of these advantage ahd others, ar-.d he will probably have a large crowd trout ibis section to take over hts road on Carolina Day. The stock of goods of F. K. Winn was sold Monday ny the Sheriff to satisfy the claims of creditors. There was a good s:zed crowd present and the goods were sold at fair prices to various parties.

Pi^ckney Owens has been awarded the con? tract ro siagic the Lincoln Schcol building. Dr. A. J. China is breaking the record in prices, having cut prices on ali preparations, prescriptions and. in fact, his entire stock. See the prices quoted tn his new adrertise mect to day. Alderman Monaghan's idea about paving Main Street is a good one and it is hoped that the agitation will be kept up until not only Main Street is paved, but all thc princi? pal stree's cf the city. Taxpayers are not crowding the office of Treasurer Scarborough these days, and the taxes are being paid rather slowly. There is but little prospect of art extension of limp, and these who habitually delay paying their taxes until the last, in expectation 0; an ex? tension of time, need not do so this year, for they will undoubtedly be disappointed. The Board of School Commissioners met Monday afternoon, and after a discussion, a resolution was adopted declaring to-day a holiday. The Board considered the wishes of tb? children tn this instance, and they should be duly grateful for the holiday granted them. Mr. J. P. Durham, Chief Clerk io the Comptroller General's office was in the city last night for tt.e purpose of making a final settlement with ex-Trcasurer Keels. In con? junction with Capt. Keels he was at work until a late hour last night -md completed the settlement with the exception of a few minor matters that are said to bc unimport? ant, and can be cleared up by a comparison of the hooks of the Treasurer with those cf the County Supervisor. Mr. Durham left tor Columbia this morning, bat will return on or before the 10th to complete the settlement. Scipio Williams who bas been wanted sev? eral months for burglary and larceny v.-j-.s ar? rested in Bisbopvilie o:> Saturday by Mr. Joel Reams, and w?;s brought to t;jr.n donday fer cornmi?meat to jail. Scipio Williams and several others broke- into Mr. Reames' house during the sanvoer, taking about $50 worth cf groceries and other articles. The othsr partifs wer?:- arrested but he escaped and had eluded arrest until cap urcd by Mr. Rea m PS. Mr. J. E. Normer.:, the travelling corres? pondent of the News and Couritr, will write at an '.-arly day an article descriptive of Sumter for his paper and will l:a\c- it hand? somely illustrated. He will probably s^end a Dortion of next week in the city collecting data and securing the Necessary pictures for rh? illustration:-. Mr. Notment has a taleu* for'his character of work, as his articles on Spartanburg, Darlingtor?, Bennetts?ille and Florence abundantly testify. Sumter wiil l-j fortucat? in having so able a chronicler, and it goes without saying that with Sumter as a subject Mr. Norment will do himself and the theme full justice. DEATH. Mr Warren T.

A ?er.tlerr.m from Bishopville says that there was a free for a!! fight at Lucknow, the terminus of the South and North Carolina R. R.. on Saturday night in which several persons were injured There were ten or fif teen engaged in the row, all of them being white men and ail drunk. The fight was a rough and tumbie affair, in which knives and pis?is figured, and it was a matter cf wonder that there were none killed. The names of thc- participants in the fight were not kno -n definitely, but the Balls and Johnsons were the most numerous and active of the beligerents. The wounded parties were none seriously if jured and there is no expectation that any faia ities will resolt. Killed at a Frolic Sancho Merchant, who shot Ezekiel Black and Sum Pearson at a negro festival near Pocotaligo, about three miles from bis city, on Friday nigh', was committed to jail Sunday night. Merchant says that the shooting wa3 acci- ! dental, the pistol just going oil, but the story j is too thin to hold wa'er. Others who were j present 'ell another story entirrlv, and if these accounts arc substantiated Sancho .Merchant will have tho crime of murder to .answer for at the next term of court. The festival waa attended by a large crowd of negroes, ar d many of ihr-m were engaged in ?i dance. Pearson wa3 dancing with Mer? chant's girl, which enraged him to such a degree that he drew ? revolver arid com? menced shooting at: him. Thc first ball struck Ezekiel Bmcfe in the face, i: Hiding a flesh wound ; the second shot went true to the mark, striking Pearson in the forehead . Merchant at once made bis escape .inti was not he*.:rd of until ysterday Dr. Mood attended the wounded men. Black was unconscious, and there was uo hop" :"or bim from thc- first.
