Spain Accepts Our Terms. Dispatches From Madrid, Home* and other Points Bring the News-She Asks for a Few Modi? fications - Reports indicate What They Are. London, August 3-The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The government has accepted the principa! of the American conditions, but the acceptances will not be made pnblic until inquiries to Washington on matters of detail have been settled, thus rounding off the preliminary ba? sis THE NEWS C?NFIRMED. New York, August 2-A special cable to the Evening Joe rn al from Madrid, published io a late extra edi? tion of that paper, says : "Spain ac? cepts the principal conditions of peace as set forth by the American government and only the peace de tails are needed to cause all hostilities to cease at once. "A peace delegation will be chosen at once to confer with the representa? tives of the United States. The peace conditions set forth by Presi dent McKinley were discussed at length to day by Minister Sagasta, and at the conclns?on it was given out officially that the terms of the United States would be accepted. There are one or two amendments in the proposition of the United States that Spain will ask to be made, and if this is done peace will be declared at once " OFFICIAL SILENCE. London, August 2 -The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News says : "The government's reply to to the American peace terms left here Monday evening. The government believes that the nature of the nego? tiations'requite-the greatest secrecy and that their success will depend tepon the observance of the most ab? solute reserve here Official silence, therefore, is complete ,? CONSIDERED PEACE ASSURED. London, August 3 -The Gibral? tar correspondent of The Daily News telegraphing Monday night, says : "The censorship ?s daily becoming more severe, and little is known be j yond the fact that peace is assured It is understood that the note from America asks only part of the Philip, pines, and that Senor Sagasta having replied that the terms will be accept? ed, hostilities are consequently sus? pended THE CHIEF DIFFICULTY. "A commission will be appointed to determine the basis of peace. The chief difficulty it is asserted io official circles is as to the date and manner of the evacuation of the Spanish possessions " SPAIN'S WAR MATERIAL IN CUBA "There is no question of the dis? posal of (he war material in Ceba Senor Sagasta, if he has a chance, will probably represent a restitution of the material as a diplomatic vic? tory It has just been asserted here that the premier has succeeded in ob taining slightly improved terms The treaty will not be signed before September." ROME ALSO REPORTS IT. London, August 3.-The Rome correspondent of The Daily Chron- j ide says : "Spain, it is asserted here, has accepted the American terms, j with unimportant reservations and the peace preliminaries will be sign? ed before Sunday " ---MM*- m m mwmmm About a monto, ago my child, which is fjfteea months old, bad an at t..ck of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting.

On last Thursday the Norwood colored base bali clubs-1st and 2d ni?ee-came to this place to pUy a match game with the 1st and ?d nines of Magnolia, and daring the game between the second nines, of which Burgess McDaoald was ampire and Ambrose Garland one of the scorers, a dispute arose between toe latter and-Zeke McIntosh. This being settled the game was resumed and ev? erything moved oo quietly uotil Zeke McIn? tosh agaio commenced cursing at Garland, who cursed back at bim, and jost as McIntosh ottered the words : "I am as good a man as walks on this grot:nd,i: with an oath, Bur gess McDonald came np with a pistol in his right hand which he held nader his left erm, and shoving Zeke out of his way, fired three shots, in qcick soccessioo, at Garland, who walked a few feet aod fell on bis face, dyiog in twenty or thirty rEinates Garlard spoke ooly two words after he was shot. As soon as McDonald fired the three shots he ran as fast as legs could carry him aod took refoge io Dr. Darby's house. He had been io Dr. Darby's employ for several months, aod is a bright, active mulatto fellow. Be remained in the plunder room up stairs uotil the place was surrounded by a number of men, both white aod colored, aod Constable Wheeler weot to the front door and asked if be was io the house ; getting an affirmative answer, Burgess was called and came down, aod the officer took charge of bim. As Burgess Mc? Donald was Seeing from the base ball grounds a few shots were fired from the croird, none taking effect. No attempts were made by any one to barm McDonald afcer he left the field. He bad two colored friends who undertook to be quite boisterous, but were quickly silenced. Accordiog to the testimony, no attempt was made Oy Ambrose Garland to defend himself. No words passed between McDonald and Garlaod before tbs shooting I will oot attempt any comment on the character of either defendaot or de? ceased. The jory of inquest examined the pjrsoo of McDonald, and found no wounds or bruises, save a slightly raised spot near bis wrist. The affair brought fresh to memory the brutal Simon Cooper, aod, of course, oc? casioned considerable excitement for a short while. Not desiring to prejudice or influence the miads cf any either for or agaiost, I will stop right here oo this subject. The Lyochburg boys are proud of their victory over tbe Mayesville boys, several days ago. Tbe game was played for all it was worth on both sides, bot our boys bad only victory on tbe.ir minds from start to finish. Oar boys are reidy to play Sumter as sooo as ehe defeats Mayesrille I'm 'fraid they won't get to play us. We had a young flood here between 12 and 1 o'clock Sunday morning. Nearly every low or level place was inundated for a short while. Bridges were overflowed and washed about like straws io some places. Tbe shed over Capt. S. T. Kilpatrick's engine was blown down, and cottoo is injured to some extent. Misses Edna and Annie Keels, who have been visiting at Col. J. A. Rbame's, are now vifltiog in the upper part of the county. Mrs. J. A. Rbame is also visiting abroad. The sick arouod are improving under the skillful attention^ Dr. E. F. Darby. It is whispered-around that some one in Magnolia is selling whiskey, aod our people are getting aroused on this point, and if this be true, then we say, Go ahead, gentlemen, and act. Go forward in discharge of j oar duty, aod speedily briog the offender lo jus? tice. Concealed weapons io this county are be? coming as common as pocket knives The law sbouid be enforced or repealed. Law abidiog people are, by this concealed weapon act, placed at the mercy of the rowdy. Peo? ple should not be allowed to carry pistols at all, concealed or unconcealed, ooly under certain circumstances in certain places. I notice that nearly all the colored base ball players carry pistols to the ground. Many carry them openly. Nor are all the white ball players clear of this practice. Well, it's giving a "Clack eye" to tbis most attractive ! game, and people who are anxious to keep out of difficulties-as all should be-will cease to patronize it. OCCASIONAL. Magnolia, August 1. ? - i ? i - Wedgefield Happenings. From the quaotity of raio that bas fallen I the last month it looks like the atmosphere is so heavily ladeo with moisture that the whoop of the raia frog bas tbe san e effect as tbe dyoamite explosions out west several j ears ago.

An enjoyable community picnic was held near Mr. Richard Singleton's on last Wednes? day. The crowd was dispersed by rain early after dinner. The morning was warm, and ; instead of the afternoon being more pleasant, 1 a? ail wished, it was more unpleasant for those who lived at a distance. The friends of Mr. Fant Stokes were very sorry to bear of bis untimely death. How sad to be cut dows ic the bloom of manhood. Mr. Stukes clerked io town last fall, but was drumming at tbe time the first call was made for volunteers. He joined the Manning Guards. When be was passing through once oo a furioogb, be told a frieod who was at tbe depot it was the mistake of bis life when be volunteered. Camp lifo did not agree with bim. That is exactly tbe cause of tbe delay in getting up the second regiment. I have not felt like they needed me, and I did oot waot to be shot up io a camp io Colum? bia or Cbickamauga Park for three or four mootbs, never shoot a goo aod probably die of typhoid fever; not because I.don't want to be under a Yankee general or tbe bine uni? form. War was declared in or for the inter? est of humanity, and judging from the few casualties reported oo tbe American side, it does look like we are right io the sight of God. Mrs James H.

Some are holding on between the showers with the hope of finish? ing up right. We have a few cases of sickne83, but the health of our community at large is very good. Mr. J. C. Allen is again quite sick. Mr. Duncan closed bis meeting Sunday. He was assisted by Mr. Elkins, of Bishop ville Mr. Gilbert Flowers aod wife and J. D. Mc?

Tbe fortress that baa been so fiercely bom? barded for sometime bas surrendered, aod the white wioged dove of peace hovers over the belligerent parties. Some shelling is going on at long range here by Mr. Cupid, who seems bard to expel from this section. Whee the short range guns are used, there, no doubt will be destruction all around. We staod out of the danger and enjoy the fray. I inspected Mr. T. M. Bradley's fine crop not long since. Some of his corn will make 40 bushels to the acre, and the rest 28 and 30 bushels. He is a progressive merchant and is a good example what pluck and energy cao do in our country without runntDg over the world to fiad wealth without working for it. Miss "Bright Eyes" was through here not loog since. We hope she will come agaio soon aod stay looger. So the Item editor is married. Hurrah for him aod bis fair youog bride, aod a long and happy life to them. Pisgah, August 2. End of the Teachers' Institute. A fairly good audience assembled lest Fri? day cigbt in the auditorium of tbe Washing? ton Street Graded School to bear the final ex? ercises of the Samter Ccuoty Teachers' Io stitnte. The occasion was a highly entertaining ace* instructive ooe, aod those io attendance were richly repaid for going. Au instrumental solo by Miss K-.te De Lorme was first on the orogramm?, and the sweet strains of "Oid Folks at Home" put everv one in a meditative mood. Recitatioos by Misses Lee and Michaelson, were well rendered and thoroughly appre-* ciated. The selections were "How Salvador Won tbe Race," and "Qaeen Marguerite of France." A vocal duet by Miss Carre Solomons and Mr. A. G. Flowers aod a quartette by Misses Solomoos and Carson, Messrs. Graeser aod Hayns worth were generously applauded. Tbe ?peaker ef the evening was Mr. W. Z. McGbee, of the Boys' High School, Colum I bia. The subject of his address was "Edu I cational Ideas," which was doDe full justice by this talented young man in a forcible ?nd original maoner, which held the undivided attention of bis audience Mr. McGbee bas been thinking for himself and is plain and vigorous in style. An occasional bright wit? ticism unexpectedly brought out every now and again held up our weaknesses and foibles in a ludicrous light and was quite amusing. Altogether the entire programme was a veal treat. Time prevents us from writiog more fully of the Teachers' Institute, bot we | will have more to say hereafter. Notes About the Teachers' Insti? tute. What brought ns to it? Only for our S2lves can we speak with con6deDce. Toe writer :s a country teacher, having never taught but one school i*. town. We grew up, too, before the graded ecbool wiih its system cmue into vogue, and had no ac? curate knowledge of its rules and methods, nor of their value. A desire to acquaint ourselves with these with their adaptability to the country school, together with the best j me<?ns of imparting instruction in the vari ons branches of study induced ns to ?eave borne, business, everytbiog. for one wpek io j order to be present at its sessions. At the end of tbe week can we say we have realized this? We answer in detail: We have a much clearer knowledge of what tbe graded school is, and a tolerable under? standing of its system. Of course weean make oo claim of a practical acquaintance with tbeir value ; bot we hare been so im? pressed with what we have seen and beard that we are determined to iotroduce them i?to our schools By thia mems we will be able to discover their adaptability. Every teacher mu3t, io a greater or less ex? tent, be a law unto himself as to methods and means of teacbiog ; but no teacher is so proficient that there is no room to learn more. We are much pleased with what we have learned, its quantity aod quality. We came to learn, aod did so ; while we expected much io thia wey, we were sur? prised to Bod more than we expected. There are Prof. Snyder's fioe talks on Eng? lish literature, warm with iife, full of in? struction, and good to edifying, that are worth the trip ; those of Pro?s. Graeser and McGhee, practical, pointed, ponctuated with goodbutror; those of Miss Withers about the little tots. She is au enthusiast, Siled with her subject, and never fails to ioterest you. We leave the Iostitute core in love with our work, and while we have tried in the past to do oor duty, we have here received greater momentum and fresh incentives to works. Prof. McGhee's talks en bow to 611 op school rooms, to make raised maps, globes, blackboards, etc., are fully appreciated by ail, and will doubtless bear good fruit in Sum? ter County. He or she who dees oot feel on leaving the Iostitute, that they are better equipped for school work, bad better stop teaching. We eojoyed the social feature of the occasion, but tbe young people can tell of that better than we. A few suggestions. Would it uot be well to allow time at tbe end of each lecture for the teachers to jot down aoytbing that may have suggested itself as worthy of remem bance? And would it uot bt well for tbe teachers lo have an experience meeting among themselves at the end of each daily session ? The Iostitute is here to stay, because it is indispensable to the teachers. Mr. Editor : I wrote the above before tbe entertainment of Friday night, an account of which I now attempt to give you. It con? sisted of an address, /music aod recitations. Much might be said of each, but I will not speak particularly of any except the first rec? itation. This followed variations of "Old Folks at Home," rendered by Misse OeLorme. She had finished, was just taking ber seat again in the audience, and I had turned away from the rostrum when I beard quite indis? tinctly tbe next announcement. Io a mo? ment another lady is upon the stand ; but who is she? Her whole being is teeming with animation, and ber soul, like some dazzling solitaire, flashes full out of her face. Sbe :s speaking; let me catch what she is daying. 'Tis of a horse race she is telling, aod she is a rider. I see the agitated, mighty throng, the riders, the borsea ; I bear the loud hur? rahs. What excitement ! 'Tis a close race. Hold, sbe is gaioing, she is gaining ! On, on they sweep. What look of triumph is oo her facel The race is wool No; with mighty effort the black steed plunges along ; one length is lost and still he-is gaining. She is aroused, alarmed ; all may yet be lost. With whip and spur and coaxing words, she urges on. We bold our breath. Hurrah ! hurrah for Bessie Lee-the race is won. H. C. BKTHEA Soul Culture. Prsf. Griffith, of Furman University, lec? tured Tuesday evening, last we-k, in the anditorum of the Graded School building to a small number of inter ested listeners. His subject was "Soul Culture," and education was diseased from tbe two standpoints of utility and culture. Tbe latter was given greater prominence Sach lectores cannot fail of beiog helpful to thoughtful people; they lead to a higher p?aos of living, aod aid io the development ot that which is nobler aod better ic ouman nature. Dr. C. C. Brown introdociog Prof. Griffith, remarked upon tbe slim attendance, and evidently felt somewhat mortified over the large number of empty chairs The altars of learning io this city are not crowded with devotees as shoold be. Why ? We cannot say. But as a matter of fact a game of baseball, a reel squad race, a dance, or a bicycle parade will bring out ten to one aa against a lecture. While these are well in their place a9 means of enlightenment, it is not creditable that higher claims are neglected. The Sumter Y. M. C. A. This organization continues intact, though the membership has of late decreased very much. However, we are pleased lo note that ! there is a somewhat renewed effort, and hope j there wiM be euch a revival of interest j among the young men of Sumter that the I association may regain its former popularity j aod prosperity. I Toe Y. M. C. A. has done a wonderfol j work all over the civilized world wherever it i bas beeo established. It is now at tbe front j with the soldier boys aod will be, indeed, has j beeo, a powerful meaos of overcoming the j demoralizing influences of array life. We have reason to believe that it will remaio with us a valuable moral aod religious insti? tution. There are peculiar difficulties io ope? rating ao association ic a small town with volunteer workers, but experience has demon? strated that Sumter can have one, and a good one. Tbe work is worthy tbe attention aod assistance of Christians of all d?nominations, ministers and laymen. Let us oot allow PO good ao institution to vanish from our midst. The weekly prayer meetiogs are held every Sunday moroiog at 10 o'clock. A hearty welcome awaits all visitors. The Sumter Dry Goods Company. At the meeting of tbe stockholders of tbe Sumter Dry Goods Company, held oo last Mooday, the following officers were elected : G A. Lemmon, Preaideot and General Manager. T. H. Clark, Secretary. C. L. Stubbs, Treasurer. Board of Directors-J. L. Haynsworth, C. L. Stubbs, G. A. Lemmoo T. H. Clark. The Philippine Situation. ------- ? It is Considered Unsatisfac? tory. Washington, August 1 -Geo Mer ritt bas again cabled the war depart? ment re'ativ; to the situation in Ma oila, which he finds very unsatisfactory and dangerous, owing to the attitude of tbe insurgents. In the opinioD of Gen Merritt, the attitude of the in? surgents there is similar to that assum? ed by Garcia's Cubaos upon thc ques? tion of their right to enter and possess themselves of tbe oity, although io this case thc'iosurgents are a very more for? midable element, being not only more numerous but better armed aod filled with the arrogance following numerous viitories over their Spanish foes. Gen. j Merritt, however, indicates that he will do h?8Utmo6t to protect the citizens from the savagery of the insurgente, \ though bis task is a- delicate tod diffi- j cult one, because of the fact that he must, whiie ?ghtiog the Spaniards-, be ready at any moment to repel the in? surgents. The general gave notice that he was about to combine with Admiral Dewey in a joint demand for the surrender of the city to the United States forces, thus forestalling the insurgents, and this move may cause a rupture. It is pos? sible, in view of the fact that Gen Mer? ritt's cablegram was sent from Cavit? last Thursday, that this government has been made already by the combined American military and naval force, al? though there is some doubt about this on account of a statf Tient from Merrit that be may need ail of his soldiers be? fore attaoking. Still, it is possible that the demand migbtbemade without being immediately followed hy an attack which might be deferred until all the troops have reached Cavite. Up to the date of the report, Gen. Merrit, bad with him about 12,000 soldiers So far, seven expeditions have left San Francisco carrying soldiers to the Phil? ippines, and it is the intention to fur? nish Merritt at least 8,000 men more than his present force, if be delays his attack until all these have reached him, Manila will not be taken io that way before September, for tbe last of the troops have not yet started from San Francisco. It may be, however, that the arrange? ment as to the Philippines, which, it is expected, wiil be included in the peace treaty, will obviate the necessity for farther action on the part of the Amer? ican commanders. Later io the day Secretary Alger and Secretary Long had a conf?rence with the President over the situation io the Philippines. They bad important dis? patches from Gen. Merritt and Admiral Dewey. GETTING READY. * Hong Kong, August 1.-Letters re? ceived here from Cavite, dated* July 29, says Gen. Merritt is completing his pre? parations to attack Manila, and that otherwise there is nothing doing. The blockade is strictly maintained, and no date has been fixed for the at? tack, though it will probably be made as sooo as the remaining American troops arrive. The troops from San Francisco continue to enjoy good health. The Spaniards, it is further an? nounced, have determined to hold out until peace is proclaimed. Philippine insurgents who are dom-i oiled here, say that the inhabitants of the island are confident that a republic will be established there. NOTHING ADDITIONAL. Hong Kong, August l.-The United States transport Zafiro has arrived in these waters, and is anchored outside tbe Lyeemao Pass. She repotts that oo American or insurgent advances have been made on Manila up to July 29. The remainder of the third San Francisco expedition was expected to arrive at Cavite during the evening of July 29. Kev. W. J. Dowell Goes to the Baptist Church. Special to the State. Wiliiamstoo.July 29.-The Rev. W. J. Dowell, who was appointed at the last annual conference of the Metho? dist Episcopal church, south, to serve as pastor on the Williamston circuit, has served bis connection with the Methodist church and yesterday eve? ning, in company with bis wife, united with the Baptist churoh at Pelzer, where they were both received into full fellowship in that church Mr. Dow? ell severed a circuit io Sumter county last year, and duriag bis itinerancy in the Methodist church, south, bas preached for 13 years, during which time he has beeo a member of the Georgia, Florida and South Carolina conferences. Washington, August 2-The Pope applies to tbe authorities io Washing? ton to protect the Catholic clergy in j the Philippines, in the disposition that is to he made of these islands. Institute for White Teachers. Editor Darlingtooian. I am sorry that you were not present personally at the meetings of the Teach? ers' Institutes that have just dosed. It was tbe first time a thing of this kind has been undertaken in Darlington. The undertaking was a great eucoese. We hope when the next cal) is made that all the teachers in the couoty will respond j The teacher that neglects to attend j things of this kind cannot expect to be ! an up-to date teacher. Taking teach? ers' journals and attending teacherc' meetiogs are essential io good teaching. Next year let the teachers remember the scriptural iojunotion, ''Neglect not the assembling of yourselves togeth? er," Professor Edmuds, of Sumter, was; the leader of the Institute, and afc euch did his work magnificently. He waa ably assisted by Messrs, Woodward, Hamby. Griffith. Clinkscales and New? man. The work started off ratbar poorly, because of the slender attend? ance, but closed in a great success, be oause of the zeal and intelligence of those in charge of it. Not the least among these was lion H. C Burn, Darlington's Superintendent of Educa? tion. He was in attendance always, with attention to every detail and with marked courtesy to all. His closing speech at the breakiog up was most ap? propriate and embodied noble thought io conception with the teacher's work. LOCKER ON. CANDIDATES' GARDS. FOR CONGRESS. -o Congressman J WM.
