The alarm of fire Saturday afternoon came from the residence of Mr Geo. F. Epperson, and was caused by sparks from the chimney setting fire to tra n in the valley of the roof The fire was discovered before any damage was done, and the fire department responded so promptly that the flames were subdued almost as soon as the alarm had been sound? ed by the bell.

The second annual ball given by Mr. Nixson of the Nixon House last Thursday evening was attended by a large number of society people and was a delightful success in every way. Dancing regan at 9 30 and the hst figure of ?he german was not concluded until after 2 o'c'oc1' At midnight the guests were in? vited into the o'd dining room where a tempt? ing lunch was served. The lunch was one of those repasts that the caterer of the Nixon House knows so well bow to prepare and serve. The music was furnished by the Columbia orchestra and it never played better or more inepiring music The annual ball at the Nixon House will be looked forward to with pleasure by the dancers of Sumter, for they have been so pleasantly entertained heretofore that they desire to repeat the experience. A LIQUOR SEIZURE Dispensary Constables Ignore the U. S. Supreme Court. Notwithstanding the decision of the United States supreme court, declaring unconstitu? tional that portiou of tbe dispensary law which authorizes seizure of liquors shipped from without the State to parties within the State for their private use, the cispeDSary con? stables seem to be still engaged in that kind of work. Mr. Daniel D Gerston had shipped to bim from Richmond. Va , recently for his personal use a few bottles of wine, and it was'seized at the Sumter express office" cn the 26th inst The shippers have notified Mr. G-ratoo of the seizure and he intends to lay the matter before the State authorities and if he doe3 not receive proper redress from them, be will apply to the United States conrts Th's is tbn first seizure th?t bas been reported since the decision was announced, and it remains to be gern if ?he constables will be upheld ia defying a decision of the bi?he?t tribunal in tbe /and.-Tbe State. Why the Liquor was Seized The package of liquor consigned to D. D. Gerston, of Columbia, which was 'seize J at tbe depot at this place last Tuesday by Consta? bles Nunnamaker and Neuman, promises to bea bone of contention, and a case in the courte may result. The package was not marked for personal use, uor was there any marks on tbe package to show shat it con? tained liquor. Io addition it was a C. O. D. p*ckaf?9 Thc constables have orders to sieze all liquor shipped C 0. D or order notify, and in siezing Mr Gerston's five quarts of whiikey obeyed orders. The New Counties. Tbe Senate Judiciary Committee at its meeting yesterday evening decided unani? mously in favor of Greenwood County. The other applicants for equal honors were not so fortunate. Dorchester County was reported unfavora? bly because tbere was not a two-thirds vote for any of the reval towns for county seat. There will, however, bea minority report io favor of tbe bill signed by one member Salem County was unanimously defeated because of A lack of a constitutional vote for its establishment -Columbi^ Register, Jan? uary 28. The spectacle fakir bas reaped a rich har? vest in Sum'er county. Io every neighbor? hood visited be has sold from one to a half dozen pair of "fine gold spectacles which were found on the roal." The price paid by the unsuspecting purcbase*rs ranged from a dollar to three dollars, and the spectacles were, of course, utterly worthless-simply brass and window glass. People will grab at a hargaio, and this propensity is used for all it is worth by the spectacle swindlers and others of their Mk. It is a good rule to re? member that whoever proposes to give more than your rooaey's worth is nine times out of ten M swindler If the business men of Sumter wouid ex aroines^mples of the hosiery turned out by the Maning Hosery Mill they would see what they lost by permitting the proposed Sumter Hosier? Company to die for the lsck of sub? stantial encouragement to the extent of a few thousand dollars The Manning Mill is turning out half bose that are as good, if not better, than are sold every where for 25 cents per pair. The Manning bose eau be retailed at two pair for twenty five cents and give a big profit to the retailer and the mak? ers are satisfied with the profit they receive. While tber? is no hosery mill in Sumter it would be good business policy to patrooizj the Manning enterprize as liberally as possi? ble, for what benefi s our neighbors directly ?3 sure to benefit us indirectly. If the South is to prosper the peorie of the South must patronize home enterprises and thus keep the money m-de in the South at home. An enterprising little Degro boy spent Sun? day morning driving around the city, and ia more than apt to get into trouble. He did not po to the livery stable and hire a tumour, as most sports do, but being of an economi? cal turn of mind,- took possession of Mrs. G U. Graham's buggy which was standing in front of her gate. When Mrs. Graham came out to drive to church the team was gone and could not be found anywhere. Along in the afternoon the horse came back without a driver. The boy bad amused himself for several hours and then turned the horse loose The horse being an intelligent and docile beast, returned borne and did no dam? age to the buggy. Rev. Dr. Snyder, the missionary to Central Africa, delivered two lectures to large audi? ences Sunday afternoon, one at the Presby? terian Church to the Sunday School and many others, the other at ihe Y. M C. A. hall to a large and appreciative audience. Dr. Snyder is a forcible and entertaining talker and kept his audiences interested throughout his lectures. He ?3 thoroughly conversant with the conditions ?nd needs of the na?ive3 of Central Africa, and from the Storehouse of his wi and htiraate knowl? edge of African lite gave his hearers an insight into customs and habits of the negro in h's native land that could not be oluain ed elsewhere A lecture such MS de ivered by Dr Snyder, shows more clearly than any other way the vasily superior condition, religiously, industrially a:<d int effectual ly, ol tbe American negro to those 'nf Africa.
