DeLorme, of Bennettsville, is an extremely sick man and his condition canses serious apprehensions in the minds of bis many friends in this city. Cotton receipts are ta?iine off every week and it is the opinion of cotton buyers that there is very Utile more in the country, except what the large planters and Country mer? chants are holding. Horace Jackson, colored, was tried by Magistrate Wells Friday for disposing of property under mortgage. He was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of fifteen dollars ox serve forty.days on the chain gang.

Bultman has given Delger Beel Squad the ase o#his ball fer the Bazar to be held on the evening of the 25 instant. The members of the squad appreciate the liberality of Mr. Bultman, as it was a volun? tary contribution on his part toward the soc cees of the Bazar. Delgar Reel Sqoad bas, as yet, taken no action on the challenge of the Florence reel team, but it is probable that it will be ignored entirely. Delgar Sqoad will, how? ever, always be represented in all contests held in this State, and Florence will be af? forded an opportunity of making good some of the big talk now being indulged in. The Sumter Cotton Oil Mill Co., bas been baying seed ever since the opening of the cotton season and now has a large stock on band As soon as the remainder of the plant has been put in place the machi erv will be set in motion and oil making will be commenced.

Carson picked up the ?amp on the en?? of a billiard cue and threw it out of the window, and the burning ci! was ex? tinguished before any damage was done. The accident created some excitement ia the ciub rooms, but it was all over so quick that no alarm was given. r---^ F MARRIED. Mr W. A. Green and Miss Minnie, daughter I of Mr. H. W. Scott, o?

The shocking intelligence^ the sad death of our esteemed yoong friend, Mr. Robert Ay cock, reached here, his home, at 7 o'clock this p to. ' Robert was a student at M?j. Bingham's school in North C?rolina, and it was Dot known by bis family that be was seriously sick till a telegram was received this a m. at 9 o'clock sayiDg he was danger? ously ill.

Ay?ock, left on the 10 o'clock traio this morning for bis bedside, bot alas, ere they reached it death had claim? ed bim as its own. Bob, as we all called bim, was an especially promising boy and bad, as we all had every reason to believe, as promis? ing and bright a future as any one we knew. We have often heard him spoken of hy his teacher, wheo he was quite a small boy, who would say what a pleasure it was to teach one so bright aod pleasant as be was Bob was abor t seventeen years of age. His remains will be brought on here for inter? ment. The most profound sympathy of the whole community go oot to the family and the writer's heart is running over with grief and sympathy for bi "?voted mother especially. May we have thb strength to say Thy Will be done. Wedgefield, S. C., Nov. 10, 1896. Mrs. Hannah McLeod died at her borne n ar Bossard P. O , on Monday, Nov. 10, after a protracted illness.

The second quarter of the session of 1896- j 97 of the Graded Schools began Monday, at>d, j in accordance with the custom established by Supt. Edmut.ds, the occasion was marked ny asiembiiDg the entire school in the Assembly Hall, w here appropriate exercises were held.

Reading of Roll of Honor for First Quarter. Vocal March-Song by School The general invitation extended by Super? intendent Edmunds was accepted by the frierds and patrons of the school in such large numbers that the seating capacity of the school was overtaxed, and the central ballway had to be brought into requisition. Mr. Hillock spoke for about ten minutes, succeeding admirably in interesting his bear? ers. He emphasized his remarks with draw? ings on a blackboard, a feature that appealed directly to the understanding of the children and tbat appeared to excite a greater degree of interest and a livelier Attention than usual. There bas been a very decided improve? ment in the singing since last year. The children not only keep better time and throw more life into the songs, but the music that they now so successfully render is more diffi? cult than heretofore attempted. Mr. Ramno has accomplished much since be undertook the training of the children in this depart? ment, and the sieging was highly praised by those wb? were present thia morning. Mr. Rambo's present success should encourage him to greater exertions in the future, and be can go forward with the assurance that bis work will be appreciated bj all who are in? terested in the growth and proven.develop? ment of the school.

The people of Wisacky entered that place as a caudid.ate for the county seat of Salem County late in the day, but they have made an offer that far surpasses the inducements held out by Biehopville and Lucknow. They offer to give $5,100 io cash, 105,000 brick and If 0 acres of land oa which to build the town. The land has been valued at $25,821 and it ?9 estimated that the money to be ob? tained from the sale ot the land will pay off ? be entire indebtedness : hat will be inherited from the counties of Sumter, Darlington and Kershaw. The men backing Wisacky are able to do exactly what they promise and Bishop ville will have to look to her laurels or she will lose the greatly desired court boose Eogene Gaillard and Charlie Bynuro both colored, had a scrap at the depot on Sunday afternoon and Gaillard was badly used up. He was ?aid ont by a lick on the bead with a beary stick and had to'he removed from the scene of conflict hy his sympathizing friends. Since then be has been io a critical condition and this morning it was reported that be bad died from the effects of the blow. Later it was learned that be was still alive, but is considered in danger.

No mention bas been made of the trouble in the Mayesville dispen? sary ic anticipation that the facts would have been obtainable before this time.

The line of Salem county will be approxi mately as follows: Starting at Sanders' Bridge, on Lyocbe's River, a straight line is drawD to Scape O'er swamp to a point one half mile south of Swimming Pens crossing ; thence it follows the run of Scape O'er to the mouth of McGirt's Branch ; thence a straight line will be drawn to Pisgah Church, and thence to the Kershaw line. It has been im? possible to ascertain the exact ontlints of the new county, although several parties inter? ested in the matter have endeavored to do so. As a matter of justice to all parties concerned, it should be required by law that the exact lines be published in advance of the election, so that those entitled to vote on the question should have timely information.
