In the vicinity of this city the condition of ?he roads is fully as bad as elsewhere, especially where work has been done recently and the road bed has not bad time to settle and become hard. They have been cut op by beavy hauling until they are little better than bog boles. Expert judges have recorded the opinion that the worst piece of road in Sumter Caun ty is that section of the Mayesville road lying between ihe point where the CS AN. track crosses Liberty Street and the track of the W.

Dr Steele's lecture, ''Horne Life in Dixie during the late war, " was delivered Thursday night in the Methodist Church before a large and appreciative audience. Tbe lecture was a narrative of the personal experience and coservation* of the speaker as a boy on a plantation in Mississippi during the war, and while intensely interesting was full of huoror. Tbe Doctor has a pleasing and remarkably clear voice, and spoke for fully two hours, doring which time i-ot a word spoken by him could not have been he ?rd by those in tbe .most distant pnrts of the building. The closing part of the lecture, descriptive of "Dixie," W83 especially fine, and charmed the entire audience. The financial difficulties under which Mr. R. P. Monaghan bas labored for several months p'ast culminated Thursday and his store was closed bv 'be Sheriff. Mr. Mona? ghan bas beci engaged in the general mer? chandise busioess for many years, succeeding bis father who was one of the old rxerchaots of Sumter. Hts business was one of the largest in the city, and was considered one of the best paying of all the lien mercbaots, but the poor collections of the last few years so crippl-d him that the final collap-e was in? evitable. The failure of Mr Monaghan has caused sincere regret thioughout the com munitv, for no business man in tbe city was more highly esteemed or personally more pop? ular. He bas the sympathy of all his asi5 ciates in bis trouble and it is tbegfnerai hope that his financial embarrassment roi-.- be but temporary. Mr. Monaghan bas been sick since about the middle of December and un? able to leave bis room, and tbH probably ba3 6ad much to do witn bringing about the failure, which otherwise might have been averted ew. .AT S.
