While Sanders, the sexton of the Presby terian church was ringing the second bell before services Sunday evening the clapper be came loosened and fell. It is s?id that Sanders thought that the hell was coming too and was rather frightened. He was not scared, of coarse, just slightly star tied for the moment as it were.

' _ / - Tbe regular statement of tbe Bank of Sum ter for tbe fourth quarter of 1896 is publish ed to-day in conformity with the act cf the General Assembly, and the attention of our readers is directed to it. The statement is worthy of careful exam ination, for at tbis time when banks in otiier portions of tbe country are failing by dozens on account of mismanagement, our people should not only familiarize themselves with our own bank but should know bow much cause for gratification tbey have that IockI 6o nocini institu tionsare not onl sound but ere c&refoily and ably managed. Tbe confidence that tbe Bank of Sumter has inspired is best shown by the large deposit account, which, at the close of tbe quarter aggrigated $149,; 426.64 Supplementary to tbe capital stock of $75,000 the bank bas an undivided sur plus of undivided profits amounting to $16, 872,47. Tbe loan and discount account foots up $185,206,18. Tbis is ho index of tbe accommodation extended tbe business men of ] the city and the farmers of the county. Tbe latter bave always been large depositors with tbe bank, bot bave always received tbe most liberal treatment, for not being restricted by inflexible rules, tbe bank of Sumter bas been 1 in a position to extend credit to all who merit it aod can furnish security. Tbe Bank of Sumter has paid its stock holders a dividend of 8 per cent yearly since the first year of its establishment, and since the 1st instant stockholders have been receiv ing checks for the regular semi-atu.ual divi dend of 4 per cent. Tbe new year is entered in fine condition, with tbe continued con6 dence and patronage of tbe public, created and maintained b; the stability of tbe insti tution and the I i bt rai treatment accorded its patrocs, and the bank tbould have in '97 the most prosperous year of its history. - MB ? ? -H?? Why Mr. Lee Declined Dispenser T. W. Lee, who has d.scbarged the duties ot that position lor two years, sev ered his connection with tbe local dispensary at the close of business cn Dec 31st, and (n Friday turned everything over to his suc cessor, Mr. J R?ffield. Mr. L?c has made a most efficieot officer.aod even those who are most opposed, to the dispensary concede that no one could bove filled the position more satisfactorily nor enforced tbe rules and regu lations governing it more rigidly ; it is there fore general y rezretted that he declined re election. His successor is ? thoroughly com petent mau, however, aod will doubtiess give as geoeral satisfaction as Mr. Lee. In a coversation with Mr. Lee a few days ago, tbe reporter ii quired why be de clined re-election, and Mr. Lee very readily gave the reasons for bis somewhat unusual action. He said that be had always main tained that no public official should serve more than two terms, and that he therefore could not consistently ask or accept election for a tbird term. He believes in ro'aticn in office and lives up to bis belief, which is in office bolders so rure that it calls .for more than passing notice. Sumter can claim to bave bad the most unique dispenser on lec ord ; be goes out of office leaving everything in the be3t condition, no thortage exists and Done has ever been charged agaiast bim, and above all, be would cot serve a tbird term, although he could have bad it.

One Killed and Five Wounded. It is customary to hold big Emancipation Celebration in Magnolia on New Year's D?y, and Friday was not an exception to the rule. There was a big crowd of negroes pres ent, rive hundred or. more it i? said, and ['everything whs pleasant and harmonious and ! everybody bad a big time until afternoon Thea a row started and Si on Cooper killed another negro of the name of Davis. Coop r has tbe reputation of being a desperate char acter and when he had killed Davi9, tbe crowd fi>d in terror >?nd left him in posses sion of tbo field. He made no attempt to leave the place, but armed with a shot gan and pistols walked about the streets of tbe town bunting for the negroes with whom he had bad tbe row'. Some of the ? egroes went before Magis trate J E Goodman at Lyncbburg, a mile distant, and stated the case, and he forthwith deputized six or eight ot the negroes to arreBt Cooper. They arm?d themselves and returned to Magnolia, but when they attempted to ap proacbJOooper be deliberately opeoed fire on th?-m and they got out of his way as quickly ne possible, after one or more were wounded Cooper then took refuge under a bridge that spans a ditch near tbe depot, and tbe negroes who wished to arrest him renewed the attempt, by collecting at tbe ends of tbe bridge and shooting at Cooper. Be remained under the bridge until be bad reloaded his gun and rerolven and then boldly walking out opeoed fire on bis pursuers. They returned the fire and for a very brief space a perfect fusilade was exchanged. Cooper again proved himself the better marksman, wound ing several end was himself slightly wouod ded iu two or three places One of tbe ne groes was seriously wounded, the others eligbtly After, this everybody left Cooper severly alone an-t he roomed around tbe town bunting for those who had attempted to cap. ture bim. At 7 o'clock, when the passenger train bound for Florence stopped at Magnolia, there was a great crowd of negroes collected around tbe depot, many of tbem with tbe intention cf boarding the train to return to their homes between Magnolia and Florence. Just at that moment Cooper rushed up curs ing io a horrible manner and ordered tbe negroes to stand back as he wanted to see whj ?cton the train. The negroes stam peded in ever direction, some faliiog into tbe deep ditch by the side of the railroad track, and all yelling and screaming in tbe wildesttprror. Cooper, with his gun nnder his arm, jumped upon the steps of the train, and crossed over on the platform between the first and'second class cars to tbe depot plat form, where be sto"d unmolested "until tbe train pulled out, leaving many negroes who were too greatly terrified to make tbe attempt to botrd tbe train. Shortly after the train left, Cooper disap peared and at last reports had not been seen again, nor had any active effort been made to capture bim. Magistrate Goodman empaoBelled a jury and an inquest w*s held over tbe body of Davis this morning. From ioformation obtained from reliable gentlemen who spent the day in Magoolia, it appears that the white people of Magnolia osde no effort whatever to capture Cooper after he had murdered one man and wounded six others. He wae in practical possession of tbe place for two or three hours, and while be made no effort to molest the white people ? and made no threats against them, be openly defied anyone to arrest him and bad tbe negroes fleeing from him like a lot of j-?ck rab cits before a hound. Jt seems strange that Magistrate Goodman or some of tbe law abiding citizens of Mag:.aolia did not make it their business to capture tbe red banded and defiant murderer instead of permitting him to defy and intimidate the entire com munity. SHOOTING AT PANOLIA. Thomas Rhame Killed by Ralph ^ Deschampe. From the Daily In-m, Jan. 4. A report of a fatal shooting at Panoia reached town this morning.

It was not known whether he was wounded or not, although some people are- said to believe that be was seriously injured and may have since died fro-i his wounds. Tbe shooting having oc curred in the night, and those bringing the news to town having left Panoia early this morning there had been ::o opportunity for searching tbe woods in tbe viciuity for DesChamps. A man who left Panoia at 10 o'clock to-day has been sem since the above was written. He corroborates the ?bove particulars, and said that DesChamps had Dot yet teen found, and that his horse and buggy were still at A D. Rhame's Later, from the Daily Item, Jan 5.
