Abotit the first of last week her condition became decidedly worse ant Mr. Chandler immediately hastened to ber bed side io response to a telegram She grew worse rapidly and the end came Saturday morning. t While the dtath of Mr3. Chandler Vas not unexpected, the shock that the sad event gave her many friends was none the less, se? rious is their grief is^none the easier to be borne^. Mr?. Chandler was the daughter of Capt. and Mrs. B.- G. Pierson, of this city, and was bat thirty years old.

Shot at Alcolu. Mr. Gus Bronson, of Alcolu, accidentally shot himself Thursday and death ensued in a short time. Human life^ is held too cheaply when the individual who needs a tonic for bis system, seeks to cover bis wants by purchasing every new mixture that is recommended to bim. Remember that Ayers Sarsaparilla has a well-earned reputation of fifty year'a stand? ing. The kerosene eil sold in this city at present is of very inferior quality and in consequence lamps furnish but indifferent illumination. The Standard Oil Company is responsible for this state of affairs as it has but a single sup plv tank here and keeps zt filled with oil of inferor quality and has not supplied oil of better quality to dealers as-it would bo neces? sary to ship tbe higher grade to Sumter in barrels, or put up another oil tank If the Standard will not supply this place with first class kerosene it would pay some enterprising merchant to order a supply of high grade kerosene from one of the independent refin? eries and let the public know that first class kerosene can be obtained in the city. Delgar Reel Sqnad came out with the new hose wagoo and pair at 6 o'clock Monday even? ing and gave an exhibition run from the reel house to tb* Nixon House. Everybody with? in reach gathered on the sidewalks of Main street to see the exhibition, and they were well repaid for aprettier race has never been made in this cit The horses came out of the house full tilt and ran like racers without a break down the middle of the street to the Nixoo House. The Delgars have a magni? ficent pair of horses and they ruo at the tap of the gong as if they really enjoy the work. When Bob, the driver calls on his team to make time there is no need of whip, al] be bas to do is to brace himself and bold the ribbons. The Lily Whites and Black and Tans have buried the hatchet and there will be no fight between tbe antagonistic factions of tbe g o. p. in Sumter County. Committees from tbe two factions met in Walker's hall on Satur? day and agreed on a basis of compromise as far a3 county affV.irs are concerned, and a county ticket was nominated. The candi? dates were selected impartially from either faction and when the division of the Federal offices come to be made there will be no squabble over them by Sumter County re? publicans. The republicans are, of course, coofideot that McKinley -will be elected and they wish to be in a position to obtain a full share of the patronage that will be dispensed by the administration. The ticket is put out without any expectation of carrying the elec? tion, but merely for the purpose of keeping up the semblance of an organization. If Bry? an is elected, which is growing more proba? ble every day, the efforts of the local republi? cans will be "love's labors lost." The whole story of the wonderful cure3 by Hood's Sarsaparilla is soon told. It makes the blood rieb, pure and nourishing. It cures scrofula; catarrh, rheumatism. i j Charleston's Annual Fall Festival Low Ratlroad Rates-Great Pro ! graefime of Amusements Charleston's Annual Fall Festival, the gala week of the year, commences on next Monday, the 26th instant and lasts one week.

Cadet Drill, Exhibition by United States Life Saving Station and Free Concerts daily The fe-tture of the week will be Pain's latest and graudest spectacular production, "Storming of Morro Castle." The display of fireworks will be magnificent beyond com? parison with anything ever before seen in this State. This alone is worth a trip to Charleston During the week there will he nightly at? tractions at the Academy of Music, several of the best theatrical attractions that visit the South having engagements. The railroad rates have been put down so low that the fare is but an insignificant item -remember that the rate is one cent a mile. Charleston will have the greatest G*la Week in her history and evetybody should be on hand to enjoy the festivities provided. Republican Ticket.
