Co. gave away six or eight thousand pounds of ice which was taken from the tanks yesterday. The roof of the water tank at the A. C. L. depot caught afire Monday, by some means, and a watery conflagration was averted onlv bv the exertions of Mr. Eugene Hood. Mr. Hemby Smith has charge of the Mon? aghan Hose Co reel wagon and will drive. The remodelling of the reel house is still in progress, but sufficient headway bas ijeen made to enable it to be seen that the Mona? ghan boys will have very corofortr.oh and convenient quarters. The street hands are working on Liberty Street and have succeeded in making a oe cided improvement iu some places. A subscription hst to the capital stock of a company to build a knitting mill in this city has been opened. A few boars canvass se? cured more than one huodre? shares.

The fruit is packed in large glass jars, which are hermetically sealed, and the natura' flavor is preserved perfectly. There is scarcely a known variety of fruit missing from the assortment at ? China's, and there ate many good things io store there for thc weary, thisty mortal duriug the coming summer. One of the leading drinks at China's soda fount this season is Roman Punch, and this is displayed by means of a Brownie Bicycle in the show wiudow. The prize for the winner in the race is a bottle of Roman Punch. The Board of School Commissioners met in regular session Friday afternoon for the purpose of transacting regular and special .. M8ioess. The only matier of public iuterest was the adoption of a resolution fixing the annual spring holiday on the week beginning April 20th. The Graded Schools will not ' ! close until June 12th. The Confederate veterans met in the Court House at ll o'clock to-day for the purpose of j electing two members of the Pension Board, j The u'eeting was organised by the election of ! Co! Thus. V. Walsh, Presideut, and Mr. D. E Durant, Secretary. An election for' two members cf the County Pension Board was held by ballot. Dr R. Y. McLeod ?nd Capt P. P. Gaillard were elected. There ? was a much larger attendance of oid veterans dian was anticipated, as the ranks are grow? ing thinner each year and many are becoming feeble. The ballet showed that there were one hundred and seventy-six veterans present and voting Gimp Dick Anderson met subsequent to the adjournment of veterans' meeting and authorized the Commandant to appoint dele? gates to the re-union to be held in Charles? ton during the latter part of this month. A meeting will be held in May to elect delegates to the re-union in Richmond. The Ducker & Bultman Co. have an entirely new corps of/clerks to-day, none of whom have ever had experience in serv? ing behind the counter. But they are ! King's Daughters, and do whatever work for ; charity that tuair hands find to do, and they usually do well whatever they i undertake. The young ladies woo acted as clerks to-day are: Misses Berti* and Fannie China, Kate DeLorme, Lucie Graham, Clemmi Fuller, Rosa Fuller, Wil? helmina Bultman, JU Mitchell, Annie Gall? ard, Antonia Gibson, Bessie Jervey, Ger lrude Jennings, Julia Power, Blanche Pate, Pauline Sanders, Daisy Nash, Gordon Weeks, Laura Walsh, Lillie Delgar, Helen Brown, Pauline Gaillard and Mrs. Dan Dove.

The warehouse is to be 100 x 200 feet with a truss roof. The floor j space for tobacco will be 150 x 80, unbroken by post3 or other obstacle. On one side there will bea 20 fact driveway for wagons, and j in one end the offices and rooms for the ac- i commodation of the patrons of the ware bouse will be located. The warehouse will j be well lighted and ventilated, and it is coo- ? fidently believed that it will be the largest, j most convenient and best m the State. The prize houses will be 30 x 60 feet, two and >\ I half stones high. If there is a demand, \ other prize houses will be erected in time for j this year's crop. The Board of Supervisors of Registration j opened the books Monday morning and com- I menced the registry of the voters. As usual the crowd of negroes around the door of the ' office waiting for an opportunity to register outnumbered the whites There was, how? ever, a smaller crowd than was customarily seen at the Registration office in former years. The provisions of the new constitu-j tion and of the new law, which was drawn in conformity with the constitution, have . made it impossible for a great many to ob- j tain registration certiGcutes, they not pos? sessing the necessary qualifications. The negro vote will undoubtedly bs considerably reduced by the new law. even though every one having the required qualifications shall j be registered. . 1 Now Advertisements.

At the meeting of the County Board of Commissioners Friday the most important transactions were as follows : Dr. H. M. Stuckey, county physician for Poor House and Juli, reported that fourteen in? mates of the Poor House, to wit: Ellen Croft, Martha Logan, Mrs. Dawkins, Lizzie Dickin? son and two children, Drayton Dennis, wife and six children, were in a condition to earn their own support, ?nd therefore not proper subjects to receive maintenance at the public charge. On motion it was decided that the above named persons be discharged from the Poor House on April 1 Stb The clerk of the Board wu s instructed to notify them and the keeper of the Poor House.of the Board's action. Dr. Stuckey wan employed to attend the convicts in the county chain gang duriog the remainder of the present fiscal year. Pe? titions were received from Messrs W \V. Sfuckey and Harry G. Scarborough asking for the position of cotton weigher for the town of Bisbopville The Board decided to defer action until the July meeting. The Board of County Commissioners held a reguUr meeting Monday, but as the work of the session was confined almost entirely to routine work, the approval of claims, etc. a detailed report will not be interesting to the public. The Supervisor was instructed to run the chain gang on a cash basis, and the means to do this were proyided. The Sjper visor w?s authorized to purchase a pair of mules ?od a wagon to be used in road work in connection with*the chain gang. Contractor J W. McKiever will begin work on the Plnnters' Tobacco Warehouse as soon as the material can be placed on the ground, prohaoy next week. Tne award of the con? tract to Mr Mciver was quite a compliment to him a3 well as an achievement on his part, for he bad ?. number of contrno.tors in this State, as well as three or four from the to? bacco reeion of North Carolina, who have bad years of experience in this character of work. His bid was right in figures, and his work* will be first-class in every respect. The artesian well at Mr. W. F. B. Hayns worth's is becoming a popular resort. Mauy people ate drinking the water regularly with great benefit to their health. The water cootains iron, sulphur, magnesia and lithia in considerable quantities and is without doubt a remedial agent of value in certatn cases. As the water is light and pleasant to the taste, it will probably grow in popularity as its health-giving virtues become better known, with time and by tests. It appears that this section has an inexhaustible supply of mineral water underlying it that can be obtained ?t the small cost required to bore an artesian well, and there is no reason why this gift of nature should not be utilized and to turned practical account. Winter visitors from tbe North are comiDg to Sumter in larger numbers each 9easoo, although no effort bas eveo been made to induce them to come. No attempts have been made to bring Sumter into notice as a resort for Northern tourists, who seek in the South a genial temperature and health-giving climate. Somter has these io common with other towns that have be? come knowo, by means of advertising, as winter health resorts, and if in addition, valoable mioeral waters can be offer? ed as well as an absolutely pure free-stone water, there is no reason why Sumter should oot have? a large colony of Northern tourists in future winters. A Card of Thanks. The members of Monaghan Hose Company No., 2, having a live sense of appreciation for the assistance of the many friends who contri", uted eo largely towards making the Bazaar a success, and it being impossible to thank each one in person, desire in this man? ner to extend to each and every one who assisted them in any way, their sincere thanks -ihe public for the liir^e and gener? ous patronage, the ladies, without whose presence and valuable services the Bazaar could not have achieved success, and the young men ?ho aided with time and talents. Monaghan Hose Company feels especially indebted to Col. D. J. Auld nod the young ladies who participated in the Scarf Drill ; to Miss Louisa Moses; and to Mr. Irving A. Ryttenberg, and the yoting ladies and gentle? men who conceived acd executed in so ad? mirable a manner the Bicycle Diil, and will ever be grateful and appreciative. R. S. HOOD, Foreman. The Silver Meeting. The Frei Silver Democrats met in the Court House Monday for the purpose of" taking action that will be effective in shaping public sentiment in favor of the free coinage of sil? ver. The meeting was called to order by Mr. W. A. James, who made a lengthy speech in advocacy of free silver aod urging united action by the deraccrats for the purpose of re? storing free coinage at the old ratio of 16 to 1. Mr. James was elect coairman of the meet? ing and Mr. L. V. Brown secretary. The annexed resolution introduced by Mr. J. E. DuPre, was adopted and the meeting then adjourned : Resolved-That this body urge upon the democratic electors of Sumter county to elect delegates to the State convention who favor the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. mssma The Press Association.

Langston, of the South Carolina Press Asso? ciation have issued the official programme for the annual meeting of the Association, which is to convene in this city on 23d of April.

''Your pinn for the aid of the CutHwbn inditas imposes so lights (nx upon the Stale, and promises such increase of school facilities to the Indians as to commend itself to even the most economically inclined Legislature." Republican County Convention The following report has been furnished by the Secretary-the meeting having been held with closed doors : On Saturday the Regular Republicans of Sumter county held a county convention to nominate ?elegntps to the State and Con I gressional Convention. W. T. Andrews was 1 made teraporajy chairman by acclamation ; I and T. B. Johnston permanent chairman, also i by acclamation, with J. C. Whittaker and F. K. Butler, secretaries. Col. Johnson was unanimously chosen to the State convention ? His fight for his seat in Congress was en? dorsed, and the secretary was instructed to prepare a memorial to Congress asking the early seating of the ''clonel. The other deleg?is are, State: W. T. Andrews, W. W. Hornsey. M. J Sumter, J. H. Belspr : for the Congressional conven? tion : Z. E. Walker, J. C Whittaker, J. R. Smith, W. T. Andrews. J. C. Wilson, F. K. Buller, P. A. Sanders. The delegates go all uninstructed for the Congressional convention, but ?re pledged to use al! efforts to elect Col Johnson at large. The meeting was very orderly and harmo? nious, and devoid of the usual useless speech making. The conven?ion was largely at? tended. The Passing of the Songsters. Mr Edi'or : Our country is fast getting depleted of the beautiful variety of birds that have so long been bete. The innocent and lively little blue bird was destroyed by last year's frefze The sweet songster, the mocking bird, is gpuing to be very scarce, and so with all ihe other?. Tbe swamps used to be full of the lively little chirpers, hu? iou cnn hear very few now Nothing but the hawks, buzzards and crows seem to I hold thpir numbers. Thej"fox" squirrel isa j thing of the past, and the "cat" squirrel is j getting to be rare. The law protects certain ! classes of birds Why not protect ail of I them ? This destruction of birds is caused j by shooting them continually. Every . un that can fire is turned loose on them, and ;t is a wonder that we have any at all here. Let us hope that an enlightened public senti? ment will arouse itself against the wholesale destruction of our im-ocent birds and our law makers will be forced io protect them by law. A country without birds is like a house without children-dreary and desolate. J. E. DUPRE.
