Lock j*w developed from a wound in bis foot, produced by stepping on a nail about ten days ago Tbs woo nd healed within a few days and no trouble was feared until Wednesday, wheo the symptoms of lock? jaw manifested themselves. The case was a very severe one, aod the suffering that the unfortunate boy had to endure were of tbe most intense description. 'TILL BESUBBECTION MOEN. The Mortal Part of: Joe Jenkins Laid to Best. From The Daily Item, Sept. 21. The saddest of sad occasions was the fan? erai of Joe Jenkins, which was held in : he Baptist Church ibis morning. The building was crowded with the friends of the boy whose end was so sud and so untimely, and there wer? few dry eyes in tbe large audience wheo Rev C. C. Brown conceded a feeling, bot brief, address. Tbe active pall bearers were : George Levy, Robert Graham, Ashley Mood, Harry Green/ Porcher Gaillard and Charles Gaillard, Ivs classmates, and tbe honorary pall bearers were the girls of the Ninth Grade, of which Joe was a member. The teachers and pupils of the Sixth, Seventh. Eighth and Teoth Grades and the School Board attended the fnoeral in a body as a mark of respect to b's memory. The death of Joe Jeokios ts recorded with pecnl.ar sadness and regret by tbe writer, for he was for more than two years intimately associated with this paper, having been one of the first carrier boys io the service of The Daily Item, and he Was not only one of the most efficient and reliable boys ever in our employ, bbt one of the brighten and mest capable ir. every respect that we have ever known A bright and promising life bas been cut eff just as it began to develop and give evidence of future worth; the place.tbat be he'd, though but a mere boy, ta the esteem ?nd affection cf a wide circle.

The Small Patronage Senders the Business Unprofitable. The cotton exchange which bas b?en run in the City Hali building during the past two weeks by R H. Taylor, forSitsny & Co , of Richmond, Va , b*s teen closed. The pa? tronage of the exchange WHS SO small that i? was run at a loss, beoce the discontinuance j Mr. Taylor, the manager, bad paid the city license for two months in advance and reot for one month, and the city is therefore $112 ahead on the deal, unless the license fer one month is refunded. Mr. Taylor left the city Thursday evening aod will engage in business elsewhere While there is alwavs more or less specula? tion io futures by residents in this city, it ap? pears that tbey do not take to a local ex? change, or "bucket shop," ae such affairs are popularly koowa, but prefer to place their margins through New York or Chicago brok? ers. The discontinuance of the exchange will give great satisfaction to a large number of people, as there bas been a great deal of opposition to the establishment of bucket shops io tbis city. At 10 o'clock Friday morning there was a solid line of cotton loaded wagons extending from the weighing platform to the Episcopal Church. The reduced rate on all roads on account of the production of the "Pied Piper of Ham? lin," Sept, 28:h, will enable a large crowd to attend. The fare is low enough to induce a large attendance. Tbs Cotton Oil Mill resumed operation for the season yesterday. The capacity of the mill has been increased from thirty to fifty tons per day since last year ard the increased out? put will necessitate but little additional ex? pense. The mill has a lar^e supply cf sfed on band, more than ?ve times the quantity at the sam? time last year, aod a prosperous season is ahead of the mill, if the present outlook is accepted asan index of the coming season.

The streets of Sumter are infested with loafers and it is time they were put to work on the cbain gaoor driven ont bf the coun? ty. There are able-bodied men in this town who have beeo loafing babituaHy for ten or more tears, but nevertheless manage to live and wear pretty good clothes. Tramps, loafers and criminals shonld be put on tbe chain gang or made to move on. The merchante of this city as well as those who sell cotton bere are making a great big kick against the export buyers who are sys? tematically discriminating against this mark ?t. Yesterday the representatives of the same bouse paid from ten to fifteen points more for cotton at other towns in the county than the resident buyer in this city did What is oeeded is more export buyers, and this can oot be obtained-until the merchants quit buy? ing cotton from the wagon. Ii th* market was left open to all buyers and they were 'orced to buy cotton fror, the wagon by grade, instead of waiting until afternoon and then buying from the merchants, there would ne coropetiiion, and a number of cotton ex? horting houses would have representatives located here. What Sumter wants is more auvern and mere competition between the ex? hort houses. The merchants all say that they make no a-o ney by buying cotton, and it is certain that th? mak?t is not the gainer there ay, consequently the bt-st solution of the question is for tbe merchants to get out of the market and unite in the fffort to induce nore cotton firms to locate rt presen tali vt s aere-Daily Item, Sept. 17.

Indeed it WHS generally remarked upon last week on the street, of the crowds that gathered in their store to trade No more obliging or gentlemanly corps of assistants can be found anywhere than those which this firm have eurrouoded themselves with, so that anyone visiting there can count oo most courteous reception.
