From a reliable colored man if was learned
last week thar two white rr.cn, evidently
Northerners, have been travelling through .
ibis county selling to the ignorant negroes
what they represented to be moulds for mak?
ing money. The country should be made
too hot to bold these rascals and they should
be made to leave it at once. From what
could be ascertained concerning the moulds
which the negroes obtained. it is believed]
that the moulds were as g.-?at frauds as the
men who have been selling them. The mouids j
do not turn out even a tolerable imitation ot
a coin of the United States, and tbe negroes \
who imagined they would grow rich by muk- j

mained io Asheville, N. C., during the fall
and came to this city earlj in December after
finding that the climate of Asheville was not
beneficial to her. For a time the milder cli?
mate appeared to have a most beneficial ef?
fect and she entertained the hope of, at least,
a partial if not a complete recovery. But
the hope was vain and gradually her
strength waned until she passed peacefully
away this morning. Until this morning she
was able to take a daily walk when the
weather was fine and the sudden collapse and
death was a great shock to all who had
known her, although they knew that- he
was marked ?s another victim of consump?
tion and her days were numbered
Miss Dietrick w*s but twenty-three ye?rs
of age, and her early death bas removed an
accomplished woman, of a sigularly lovable
and gentle disposition.

The KarDival cf Komerce.
The Opera House was not only filled, but
crowded, last night by the audience that
turned out to witness the Karnival of Kom
erce. The display was so much more magni- I
ficen? than any one anticipated that the en- I
tire audience was delighted. Ninety young!
ladies, a great many little boys and girls not j
to mention a half dozen or so young men,
took parc io tbe display. The young ladies :
were appropriately and handsomely costumed,
and, as expected of them, all were charming. ;
It is the unanimous verdict of all who were 1
i
present last night that not only was the Kar- j
nival a success, tut it was one of the very j
best ard most entertaining attractions thar
has ever graced the stage of the Opera House.

Board of County Commissioneis.
The Board of County Commissioners met
yesterday for the transaction of regular busi?
ness. The most important matter considered
was the establishment of the county chain
gaDg. The Board decided to orgao'Zi the
chain gang at once and commence work on
the public roads in the vicioity of the city Of
Sumter. An overseer and the guards have
not been selected yet, but they will be en?
gaged between ?his dat* and neit week, when
the gang is expected to be ready for duty.
Clothing and shackles have been ordered
from the penitentiary to ensure the comfort
and safety of the members of the gang, for
it would demoralize and defeat all plans
were the convicts not kept in safety so that
they shall be on band every morning. It has
not been decided on positively, but the Board
is thinking of quartering the chain gang in
the old jail. If this is done the chain gang
will be under the sole control of the overseer
that shall be selected.
