The spirit is all right but why not give some other ?onoty a chance? Tn us far only sixteen of the forty counties have raised companies, and this sec? ond call affords the others an opportunity to display their patriotism. V ?

A Prize Composition. A rather unique conrest took place last week at the Graded Schee! Some time ago a gen? tleman said to Supt. Edmunds that he would si*e a meda! (or the best fifteen mino tee' com position written by a member of ibe fen tb grade There were two conditions : Firs', that his name should not be made known ; second, *bat the compositions sh -?old be give? to bim after the judge? had rendered their de? cision. At his request Messrs Pordy, Nat-b and Wilson arare chosen as the jadees. The members of the tenth grade had nu idea tatt such a contest was to take placa until tbe ar? rival of the judges No one in tbe room not even tbe Superintendent-had soy idea what sntj-ct the judges bad s*lac ed until it was plae?d on the black beard by M*j>r Wil? son : 'The Responsibilities of Yoatb." Ma? jor Wilson remarked that the jadees consid? ered this subject peculiarly appropriate, as the members of the tenth grade were ?ron to enter upon the real responsibilities of life. The judges have no reason to suspect who the author is of any composition, as these compositions have been sieoed only by num? bers and the corresponding numbers with nene attached have b?en placed under seal ?ed turned over to Sopt. Edmonds. They themselves will not know who the successful contestant is until these seats have been t Tok? en. The name of tbe wiooer of the med el will not be made known to any one until the night of the second of June. 80ft Drinks on a Bot Tay.

CAPT. B. M. CANTE Y. One of Camden's Sturdy Citizens Gone-His Splendid Kecord From Tbe State, Maj 31. It will oe with deep regret that the wt ny friends of Capt Richard Manning Canter, more for familiarly known as Capt. Dick Can?ey, of the Sixth Sooth Carolina regi? ment, learn of his death on Satnrday, the 28tb instant, near Camden, bis birthplace, bis borne and the borne of bis sneezers for generations past Capt Canter was the son of that noble gentleman,>Oen. James Canley, (or years the adjutant and iospector general of this State, the friend and admirer of al! the yoong m?*n of bis day, and of Camilla F. C*otey. nee Richardson, an aont of the present ex Gov? ernor John Peter Richardson. Capt Camey volunteered at the very first part of the war ia bis brother's (Ca jt B B Canley) coo)paoy of the Second (Kershaw'*) regiment. His company, as maoy ethers of th is regiment, was left at Charleston wbeo Kershaw organized an impromptu regiment im med >n rely after the fall of Fo t Sumter, to go to Virginia, and it was then formed io the Ninth, or Standing's regiment. In tbis be served as first lieutenant until the expiration of tbs enlistment, one year, when be j Dined, with his company, tbeSixtb (Bratton's) reg* intent, where he served as first lieutenant until the battle of ?b*rp*bure, where bis bother, Capt. fi B Cantey, was wounded and disabled tor field duty, when he became tue captain of tbe company. He rem... ned with this company as its rap tain, and io this organization, tbe Sixth regiment, until tbe surrender at Appomatox, and tooght and provided for it as bravely, as gallaotty and as carefully as it were possible to do Often thinking and often speaking wirb Geo. Brat too and other ojd comra es cf the war, we have ievartably reverted io Dick Cantey as tbe type of tbe quiet, sincere, brave, careful and active soldier-tbe type of the best soldiership in a war like ours. Aod on the eve of another war, I commaod bis ex? ample to others ef similar official character ; that influence and fores in war means a great deal mote than merely military and mechani? cal training ; this is absolutely necessary, but it is ia camp life that the real worth and merit of the soldier officer is kcown aid ap predated by bis-firm an4 manly, bat kindly and consistent discipline-a disc pline ?nd coosrieotious discharge of duty withal, that giv?*s confidence and obedience to authority. Tb-re was no better, congenial and honest man, and no braver and courageous soldier io our army theo Dick Cantey He wa? a man yon could refer to at al! times as an honorable, high toned aod virtuous gentle? man, and aa a brave, intelligent and intrepid ctficer and soldier When Gen "Bretton, in the campaign for governor agaiust Tillman and Serle, was go? ing co Camden, he said to a friend of mine, "Well, if i meet with Dick Camey aod Dody there I will be gratified, and reei sure of not being destroyed and of a good welcome." The good Lord who makes and takes care of ue will know his goodness, hrs morality, humility, truth and courage aod will reward htm R M. SIMS. T. B.

The protest was received as information and no action taken on it. The Clerk and Treasurer was directed to borrow $600 to meet the current expenses of the city. Tbe Smallpox Beoord From the Daily Item, May 2?. lu yesterday's issue certain statements in reference to the smallpox situation were made that were not exactly correct, being based on inaccurate information. To-dav Dr. A C Dick, who bas charge of tbeoroallpox hospita*, wi s called up over the telephone aod a correct statement of the smal loox record Was obs tined Toe Truth lg so much more encouraging and satisfactory than the ireports heretofore given publicity test particular attention should be given to the record so that etch and every reeireat of th 8 city nay be prepared to refute with facts the many false and misleading reports that are circulated by those who seek to injure Sumter and prevent people from corni oe hereon nrsi ness or pleasure. Dr Dick was asked bow mAnv cases of small pox had r een reported to tbe Board ol Health since the disease first appeared io the city. He said to reply, that from first to lae*, thirty five (35) cases had oreo rjported to the Br>ard of Health a? smal pox, tot that ot these six caees proved ru b* cbicien p x. There had been, therefore, but twenry-i iae cases cf genuine smallpox in tbis city since the first ca*e was reponed Serera! of these cases were of a severe ijpe. hut the majority were mild and tbe patents were not seriously disfigured Those who bad sevt. cases are very plaioiy marked witb typical smallpox pitts ?od tbe last vestige of d< not concerning the correctness of tbe d iagnosis as small pox is removed At tbe present time tbers are seven patients nuder treatment in tbe smallpox bcspittl, and four cases are under trestment in tte city Those in tbe city are kept uod?r*iuaid day and night ?cd a strict quarantine is tig idly enforced. The total noa ber ol c?ees under treatment to-day is eleven Tbe grea1 tr oucjuei of tbes? are convalescent ana will be discharged next week wbile the oihers will be detained io the hospital or kept under guard two weeks more or longer, until all danger of contagion ban passed Tba condition is very encouraging and tbe alarm tbat bas existed in this city and the fear tuat has kept many from coming here on business have been preveo by the facts to fee baseless. Tbe measures adopted by int Board of Health rendered an epidemic im? possible and bad ever) oody io tbe city co? operated promptly aud heartily witb tbe B.mr d instead ot throwing obstacles tc its way there would bave been even fewer ca:es ot smallpox than there have been repored.
