The pasenger depot at this nlace is utterly inadequate to the demands of the travelling i public. In fair weather when people can I stand outside on the platform without in l cooveuence the depot as it is doe' very well, bnt in rainy weather, such as we have been having recently there is no protection for more than half the crowd that is usually at the depot. And as for the passengers who transfer here they sirup.y have to take the weather as they fiod it. The annual pic nic>>at Ross Hill will be held on Thursday. A number of young people will attend from this city, and from reports received a very large crowd from that neighoorhood and other part3 of the couoly is expected to be present.

Those who have been iuvited may count themselves among the favored and fortunate. ; An organization of negro boys that delights j in the title,"The Blue Eyed Boys Ministr?is," I gave a minstrel show in Watkins' hall ? Wednesday night to the edification of all dwell j ers in little Africa, down in Red and White ?town. All of "the blue e.; ed boys" of this ? particular minstrel troup have woolly locks and charcoal complexions without assistance of tbs costumers art, but none of then have blue eyes, or at least so the writer is informed and was willing to believe without a close oersonal inspection. The conundrum is, j "Why is it named thc 'Blue-Ered Bovs' j Minstrel Co.?' " j When one visits Columbia h* is shown the Columbia Hospital with evident leelings of ! pride on the part of a Columbian ; but we need not go so far to see institutions of this nature. We have in our own city two hos? pitals, which are as complete in their ar? rangement as any hospital of cities much ! larger and more pretentious than our own j Our physicians deserve great praise for their J efforts in the advancement of the scient-fie i practice of medicine in our midst and the exemplary manner io which they are dis? charging that obligation which each man owes to his profession.

Coroner Commander wen; to Allen's ! Chapel Friday morning to hold the inquest ic ! the murder case of Golden Mack. While it I is said there were no eye-witnesses of the i homicide, a number of persons were ex? amined for the purpose cf obtaining ail ! the fae's c-OHPcted with and leading up to ! the killing. It was expected that the greater j part of the day would te consumed in the i examination ot witnesses, and tba- much 1 evidence of a circumstantial nature would ,' be brought out, as well as numerous coutra j dictory stories. There is no doubt as to the i killing, however, as Jim Jackson has admit ! ted his responsibility for the death of Mack, ! and the verdict was in accordance with I his confession, and Ellen Mack, the wife of i the murdered mac, was implicated as an ac i cessory. She was arrested and committed to [jail. - rmi Clemson College. Clemson College will begin her fourth i gear's work Aug. 1.

Twenty-Two Half-pints of Wbis key Captured, Andrew Burges?, a negro boy about seven teen years old, was arrested by policeman Smith Monday with a basket containing twenty-two half-pint flasks of whiskey in bis possession The bottles were closely covered with several lnyers of paper and hnd not the boy been under suspicion wonid have escaped detection. He snid that he got th? bnsket cut of Mr. Frank O'Donnell's lot and th?t it was fixed just like it was whe?. taken from bim He disclaimed all knowledge ol where the whis? key came from or how it got into the basket, but when closely pressed admitted that he carried the empty basket to the lot early this morning and left it on the ground, and that when he went b^ck it was full of flisks of whiskey. He finally admitted that P. B. Gallagher sent him for the basket and told him whe?i to go ?fier it, but would cot s?v where the whiskey came from or who put it in the basket. It is probable that he will tell all be knows about the matter before he gets out of the scrape he has gotten into, as he is evidently frightened and will make a denn breast of all be knows to save himself. Soon after tbe arrest of Andrew Burgess, Chief Police, Bradford, aud Dispensary Constables Nufinamaker and Newman search? ed the barn of Mr. Frank O'Donnell, situated in the lot whence came that basket of liquor and found four quart bottles of whiskey and two kegs that bad the appearance of having been recently emptied. The liquor was con? fiscated, but no arrests have yet been made. Mr. Frank O'Donnell denies ihattbeliquor, was his, or that he had anything to do with it Burgess was tried by Magistrate Wells yes? terday for transporting liquor in violation of the law yf the State. He was found guilty and sentenced to :-erve thirty days on the chain gfing. In sentencing him Judge Wells delivered a very forcible lecture on the sub? ject of coons making themselves catspaws for white men who wilfully violate the laws. CHIEF OF POLICE TRIED. Chief J. K Bradford Charged,1 With Neglect of Duty. Chief of Police John K. Bradford, wes summoned before Mayor Bossard Mooday and put on trial for neglect of duty, the charge being formally preferred by the Mayor himself. The charges were the result of an ?r icle that appeared in the last issue of the Sum? ter Herald, in which it*was stated tha: blind ligera were flourishing in Sumter and that the proper officials were neglecting their duty. Messrs. John M. and A. W. Knight thc editors of ihe Herald, were summoned as wit? nesses and were put up to prove the charges made in the paper. They failed to make out a case, however, stating tb?t tbe assertions in the article in question were b?sed upon common report, such as any one could bear, and inat they had no definite information to substantiate the charge. The case against Chief Bradford was ac? cordingly dropped for want of proof. - ? - Blind Tigers. It mav prove a source of gratification to Mayor Bossard nnd a salve to the official pride of the Mayor and police force that it is impos? sible to proTe that there are blind tigers in the c'ty of Sumter, but that it is impossible to prove the existence of blind tigers does not alter the fact that there has never neen a time since the enactment of the dispensary law when liquor could not he obtained else? where than from the dispensary in Sumter, as well as in every o'her town of any size in the State of South Carolina. It is a fact that liqour can be bought in Sumter that has not the questionable recommendation of a pal? metto stamp on the flask containing it, and it is the most puerile folly to attempt to deny or conceal it. It is also a fact that it is weii nigb, if not wholly, impossible to prove that any particular person is selling liquor con? trary to law. The man who seiI3 the liquor knows who he is selling it to,and ninety-nine times out of a hundred runs not the slightest risk of betrayal The man who patronizes the violator of the law will not turn State's evidence against him unless he be either a State official employed for that purpose or a very sorry specimen of humanity. The man who purchases conirfiband liquor is morally as j guilty as the man who sells it, and it is this feeling, as well as the widespread and intense contempt for a spy ?nd informer that makes the apprehension and conviction of a liquor seller so difficult. This in the way of a pre? amble. The charges preferred age.inst Chief of Police Bradford and the summoning of the Messrs. Knight, editors of the Sumter Herald, before the Mayor's Court to prove that blind tiger exist in Sumter aud that, therefore, Chief Bradford has been guilty of neglect cf duty, strikes ns as a very needless and rather ? unwise proceeding. As we have said before, no one doubts for a moment that blind tigers I do exist, but this does not establish a case of ? neglect of duty on the part of the police : force, for the liquor sellers ra-ke it their f-usi j ness to keep out of the reach of the police, j and they generally succeed in doing so. i Therefore the police force may fee! a sense of j inward gratification tha.t although liquor is ? sold all around them they are not guiity of i neglect cf dutv so long as it is impossible to j prove by the firit man they grab up where, i how and when liquor is so!d The only point in which the Messrs. Knight erred was in making 'he charge that thfre was nf-glect of duty. We ail know that there is a here? after, a future state, but none of us have : ever seen it or located it ; so with the blind J ti^er, we ali know ?har it exists and we be j lieve that several of the institutions are Io ! cated in Sumter, but as no law-abiding citi ! zen has ever seen or oatronized one, it ts im I possible to prove the existence or establish j the locution of even one of them Occasion ; ally a blind tiger has bad luck as happened ? yesterday and falls unawares into the hands j of the officers of the iaw, and then and only j then can it be proven that the blind tiger ! does .-xist. i Annual Reunion of Co. *'D" 2d (Kershaw's?

Bichard Nelson ; ud Tom Johnson Quit the Chain Gang. Richard Nelson ano Tom Johnson, who were partners in a little cattle speculation ! that landed them in the clutches of the law j and gave them admission to the chain gan?, ; have tired ot the dull routine of chain ga eg life and bnve left it. They left Friday afternoon while Overseer Du Bose was absent. Nelson w*s a trusty and was i-.c?ng as cook for the gang, and consequently did not go out on the road witt; the gang, but re? mained at the old jai!. There he presided over t!ie kitchen. Friday Tom Johnson, Nelson's partner, pretended to be sick :ind was left locked in his cell. Sometime be? tween 2 and 6 o'clock, Nelson, who had the freedom of the building secured an auger from the tool room and bored around th lock on the ceil door and lihernted Johnsone Tr.ey then each stole a suit of clothes, one despoiling Mr. Tom Du Bose and the other Mr. Jesse Hurst, the gua.d, who h^d left their best clothes i.i their room on the first floor of tae old jail. The fugitives foo* their stolen clothes to a shed in the tard and exchanged them for the convict stripes, which were left on the ground in the shed. One of them stole Mr. Du Bose's razor also The fugitives were seen late Friday afternoon in the negro quarter known as Red and White, but an attempt to capture them that nieht was unsuccessful, although the whole quarter was searched. This is the third convict to pscape from the chain gang within two weeks and they were all trustys, with the excentioo of John? son, who was liberated by Nelson It is about time to do away with trustys io the chain gang. It is contrary to common sense, anywav, to trust convicts, and it should not be done. Acting Sheriff Commander and Mr. Tom DuBose, went to Florence Monday night and brought Richard Nelson back to the chain gaDg. Nelson was captured by Chief of Police, Tumeville, who accidentally learn? ed that be was an escaped convict. Tom Johnson, who escaped with Nelson is Mill at large, but it is thought that a clue to his present whereabout bas been obtained. Candidates' Cards. Mr. E. D. Smith, of Lynchburg, announces himself a candidate for the House of Repre? sentatives Mr. Smith is one of the ablest of the younger men of the county, highly edu? cated, a student of men as well as books, a good business min and a successful farmer, a ready and forcible sneaker, he is the man for the place and should be nominated and elect? ed by a large majority. Attention is directed to the card of Mr. R. O Dixon, who is a candidate for Auditor. Mr. Dixon is one of the best known ?nd most ponuiar men of ?he Bi?hopville section, but better than his popularity is bis qualification for the office. He will make a careful and capable officer if elected, and he is commend? ed to the Democratic voters of Sumter Countv. To Honor Confederate Dead. The subjoined circular has been sent to us for publication with the request that the Me? morial Association of this city and the wc menjof this county generally be urged to unite in the effort to raise the funds needed to erect the monument to the gallar.t Confederate soldserg who lie buried at Winchester. The object is a praisworthy one and we feel sure will appeal directly to women who have ever been roost thoughtful and earnest in all ef? forts to do honor to the memory of those who 'ell in defence of the liberty of the South.
