The ladies of the Baptist Church are rais' j i og a fund to repaint the parsonage, and -contemplate having barbecue dinners, begin? ning Monday of court week in January. We learn that they have already received gifts of pigs and turkeys. The inference is that the parsonage will be painted. Tbe Southern Express Company is waus porting free of charge all articles sent io des? titute people ot Cedar Keys, Fla All of the Southern Express Agente have been instruct? ed to receive aod forward contributions to the storm sufferers at Cedar Keys. Io many towns of this ar>d other southern States special collections will be taken up in the churches for the relief of the thousands of people in Florida who were made destitute of tbe necessaries of life. Ii would be well for a collection to be takeo in each of the church? es io this city for the same purpose. A committee of the Board of County Com? missioners met Mr Edwards, cf the firm of Edwards & Wilson,* architects, Columbia, S. C. and held a consultation over the plans for the repair of the Court House He has been employed to prepare'plans and speci6 catioBS for the work in accordance with the suggestions submitted by the committee from the Bar. If there was collusion between Treasurer Keels and the auditor, as Comptroller Gener? al Norton says there must have been, thta Mr. Peter Thomas, another fruit of the reform tree, that, fortunately, did not flourish very long ic this county, will be in the toils with Capt. Keels. The greater part of the sbort " age io Capt. Keel3f accounts ?ccurred when v Mr. Peter Thomas was Auditor. Births a'?d deaths reported to Health Offi? cer Reardots for past week, ending Oct 9tb, are : Births-White-two males ; colored one male, two females.

Dr. Pell, President of the South Caro? lina College for Women, of Columbia, ?preached io the Presbyteriao Church Sun? day morning and lectured at the Y. M. C. A. prayer meeting io the afternoon. He had large audiences on both occasions, and the favorable impression made will insure bim a warm welcome and larger congregations whenever he visits the city in future. The oew ice factory subscription li3t is growing every day and there now seems to he no doubt bat the oew factory will be built and will be in operation wheo the busy seasoD for ice men begins next spring. The shares ate small aod a great many men who conld not afford to tak" stock in a company where the shares are held at ?100 each can very easily take ooe or more shares at the price fixed for those in the People's Ice Com? pany. The proposed enterprise is bound to be a popular one, for it will pay handsome dividends and at the same time enable the peo? ple of Sumter to obtain ice, which is a neces? sity, at the same low prices that people io other places enjoy as the result of legitimate competition. The bird bunters have already commenced shooting partridges, although tbe open ?eason does not commence until Nov. 1st. There is J , e talk of instituting peoceedings against the hunters, where proof to convict can be j obtained, but as the violation of the law j is tbe rule rather than the exception there is j reaKy *ery little probability of any one being i prosecuted. It is a matter of regret, how? ever, that it is not possible to put a stop to the wholesale slaughter of birds, for at the present rate there is a prospect of extermi? nating the partridges.

A Hule to Show Cause Issued Against Him. ? rule to show cause wa3 issued Monday morning against Capt. D E Keels, ex County Treaeurer, and he will be required to appear before the Court 00 Thursday morning If he cannot show good cause why he should not be arrested on tbe charge of embezzlement made by the Gra. d Jur*-, ao indictment will be drawn up at once and hs w iii be tak;n in? to cus'ody. Solicitor Wilson has acted pr* ptiy, and the matter *ill be fully and imt -rtially investigated. If Capt. Keels can prove that he has not embezzled the county's money be will be vindicated aud discharged. If it is proven that be h ts embezz'ed county funds he will re prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A rule to show cause was also issued against Coroner Commander, who was pre sented by the Grand Jury on account of a shortage in his accounts when acting as Sheriff. The rule is returnable on Thurs? day. The hearing on Thursday promises to be very exciting and sensational, and as the mat? ter has excited tbe greatest interest the Court House will doubtless be crowded. - - i i - TSE RECEPTION. TAO Initial Social Event in the Sum? ter Club Rooms. The rooms of the Sumter Club were filled with the members and guests ??st Weunesday evening, \e occasion hi? ing the opening reception. All of the rooms were thrown open and the ladies and gentleman who were press?t by invitation as well aa the club members made themselves at home where it best suited them.

Jones the noted evangelist and lecturer, will visit ibis city OB October 28:b and will lecture in the Opera Heu*e that evening. The largest crowd ever in -;he Opera House, with the single exception of the Graded School Commencement, was when Sam Jooe3 lectured here two years ago.

City Connell met i i extra session Mondar nigh t for the purpose of taking action on the license tax ?\steru that has i-suse-1 60 much discussion s mors g ail c asses of citizens for two months pa?*, and hus kept the taxpayers and salaried men in a state of uncertainty and unrest ever since the City Ccur.cii made ! public i's unprecedented and unequal fcheroe ! of levying a rax on incomes of salaried men. The matter wa3 taken up and ditposed of j in a summary manner, the entire license sy3- : tera being aboilsned, except insofar as it re lates to transient acd inn? rant merchants, j agents and Trade s, shows and circuses, j There will be no license tax on any regular j business or occupntion ?ind the license has j bpen removed from more than one business ! that p?iid license for many yeaTs prior to the inauguration of ?he general license system three years ago The total abolition of licenses will d-crease the revenue of the city to an appreciable ex? tent and it will therefore be necessary to in? crease i he tax levy on real and personal prop? erty to raiie the amount of money required to pay the expenses of the city government The tax levy will be fixed at the next meeting of the Council. A letter of resignation was received from Alderman C M. Hurst, jr., who is at present .ngaged in business that requires him to re Bide in Philadelphia. Mr. Hurst expressed great regret that circumstances beyond his control forced him to resign the position to which be had been elected by the people of Sumter, and that he did so only because he felt it to be bis duty to do so, inasmuch as it would be an injustice to the city and to the other members of the Council to retain a position, the duties attached to which he could not discbarge. The r signation was accepted and a special election for his suc? cessor will be held at the earliest date possi? ble under the law The resignation of Policeman S F Flow? ers was Hcceuted.

Tbe ball passed .ntirery through Bisque's body just above :he heart, and was removed from beneath the ?kin of the back between the shoulders 3risbune received prompt attention and be nay possibly recover, but it ia extremely Joubtful. He was not dead late yesterdi; if?ernoon The row is said to have been caused by whiskey. There was a good deal of it on the 'rounds and a number of the negroes were ntoxicated. Dtnkins was one of those under he influence of liquor and was using profane anguage around the church. Brisbane reproved him for cursing so near he church aud Dinkins shot him without .uriher words. Mr. C. E. Stubbs says that the prettiest :otton ot the season was sold in this city last ?riday. It will grade, he says, as "middling air" under tbe most rigid scrutiny. This tttton was grown in tbe Catchall aeighbor iood. Confusion as to tbe choice of a blood-puri ier is unnecessary. Tbera is but one best Sarsaparilla, and that is Ayer's This im >ortant fact was recognized at the Word's Pair, Chicago 1893, being tbe only bloo-S 3u ri fier admitted to be placed on exhibition. To remove tbe constipated habit, the only jafe treatment ia a course of Ayer's Pills, fol? lowed by a laxative diet.
