Saturday morning to get hts reports io shape for mustering on: He belongs to the to? piral corps of the First r?giment. The removal of tba Lakens Lumoer Co.'t ini?l from this city, which has been :.tlk*d of for a year or more, ? likely to take place within tbe sear future. The company ba* cut all of the timber within reach that can bo bough ?, and it will be necessary for the mil! to go to the timber. The log train ha? been discontinued and some of the employes h ave been laid off already. Tba Atlantic Coast Line is either trying to _ nie ff the South Carolina and Georgia Rail road ont cf building the Sumter And Weteree . Railroad or is getting ready to fight that sys? tem on its own. ground. Thomas Wilson, President of the Wilson sad Sommetton Railroad, a division ot the Atlantic Coast Lice, has advertised that he will apply to tba. Legislature for a charter to extend the Wiison and Summerton Railroad from the City of Sumter to Camden. This may be only a ole ff, bot it may mean business, and every one interested in Sumter will hope that it does mean the early extension of the A. C L. to Camden, for it would open up a fine country to the trade of this city and would revive tbe lumber business, sisee there is a large area of timber land between this city j and Camden that bas never been touched by che siw mill men. If it is only a bluff, it will bave no effeet, for the Sooth Carolina and Georgia has taken bold of tbe Sumter and Wateree io earnest and will build ft as soon as pos ii ole. A considerable arnon n c of money has .been expended already in making the sur? veys and in obtaining options on rights of j way and io the purchase of a tract of land for terminals io this city. The Sumter and Wateree is a certainty and it now remains for tbe Atlantic Coast Line to show its hand in connVctioa with tbe proposed extension to Camden, if this road is built Sumter will have real competition, for it looks like the two systems are determined to fight for ?be business in this section of the State, and if j they do begin a fight both, Sumter and Cam? den will receive decided benefits hy the reduc? tion of freight rates. It is generally be? lieved <bat the Sooth Carolina and Georgia will not stop with the completion of the Sumter and Wateree Railroad to this city, bot wiri extend tbe road on to Monroe, N. C., .yi* Bisbopville, to secure a direct connection j to tbs North over tbs Seaboard Air Line Toe story is plausible, as tbe proposed road to Monroe would traverse, in the maic, a coun? try now without a railroad. From Bishop ville to Monroe it wonld be entirely without competition in a fine timber and farming country and it is estimated that the local business alone wonld support the road, while a la: je volume of through busioess would be obtained from the Seaboard Air Line. At all events, the railroad situation is in? teresting and the developments of tbe next twelve months cannot bot benefit the city. In fact, the outlook is mote encouraging to? day than it bas been at any time since the C. S. ? N. passed into the hands of the A. C. L. Cow Feed for sale at W. B. Boyle's Stables. Gala Week Bates The Atlantic Coast Line will sell round trip tickets to Cha?lesion on account of the Fall Frstivcl. The tickets will be on sale from tbe 24th for $2 10 If you have cotton seed to sell, call on me I will pay you the highest market place. W. B. Boyle. Cotton Movements and Fluctua? tions. The twenty-fifth annual edition of L-ttbam, Alexander ? Co's ''Cotton Movement and Fluctuations" bas beeu received. Tbis book has became a standard of reference for tbe cotton trade. Besides the usual tables cf receipts, stocks, exports, consompticn, acreage, total visible supply and fluctuation?, there is much inter? esting original matter tbat cannot be found elsewhere in such concise form. Tbe book also contains tbe annual review cf tbe cotton trade for the past season. An article on the "Cotton Industry of Japan," written by Mr Thomas Ellison, of Liverpool, is of particular interest at this time when the Southern cotton planters are looking to Japan as a prospective consumer of targe quantities of American cotton. An illustrated article descriptive of the new Lowry Compress, is also of much interest, ss the general adoption of it wonld do away with compressing after the totton leaves the gin. The book is, as usual, a model typograph? ically and is as bandscrne as it is valuab.e to those interested in cotton. Wanted :-Cotton seed. Highest prices paid. W. B. Boyle.

ANOTHER MURDER CASE FOR THE COURTS. Inquest Over Lee Joye Who Died From Violence. Lee Joye was the name of the negro who died ia Providence Township OD Monday sight and over whose body Coroner Mooes held an inquest last Tuesday. Tbe inquest bronght ont the fact that the death was the result of a blow on the head which was ioflicted with a hoe by Rufus Johnson about tba middle of last Joly. The row io which Joye received the injury from which be died started between Johnson and his wife, Jove interfering and separating them. Shortly after Joye went to Johnson's bouee and was ordered not to enter the yard. When he disregarded the order Johnson at? tacked him with an axe. The axe was takes from Johnson before be succeeded in striking Joye, but be seized a hoe and struck him full io tbe top of the bead, tbe blade cut ti Hg through the skull At the time it was thought that Joye's wounds were mortal bot be rallied and hope of recovery was enter* tained.

KITED CONFEDERATE VBTSBAKS, CEABLKTO*, S. C., Oct. 18, 1838. General Order No. 39. I. A. period of thirty days bas been al? lowed to elapse, before the formal annouace meut of tbe death of "The Daughter of the Confederacy" is made to the com? rades of the Division, as a season of silent mourning for the irreparable loss of the representative of the war period, who bound us to oar only Confederare president, Jeffer? son Davis. Tbe division commander extend? ed to Mrs Jefferson Davis, the sympathy of the comrades by telegraph, in these words : "Io the name of the grief stricken comrades of the division I offer most respectful and sincere sympathy," end also ordered the Adjutant General of tbe division to accompany the del? egation from tbe camps of tbe Charleston regiment, who were sent to Richmond to atreod the funeral, taking with him the divi? sion colors, thus representing tbe division. Io his official capacity he was invited to be one of the honorary pall bearers. II. Miss Varioa Annie Davis died at Nar a eau sett Pier, R. I, September 18, 1838 The title "Daughter of the Confederacy" died with her. Were it not for those who are to follow us, and perpetuate the memories of tbe struggle of the Confederate States, the division com? mander wonld remain silent, as words seem to have lost the r significance, and some griefs are too keenly felt to be relieved by wailing ont our woes. T^e position of "Tbe Daughter of the Co. federacy" was unique, and there can be no I successor. Neve* did woman have the same ? devoted and reverential affection of sc many hundreds of thousands of earnest God fearing I people, never d d woman so fo'ly deserve it. f To the Confederate Veterans she represented mons than a sentiment, she was the embodi | men t of a principle. We have furled our banne s forever, and now we have buried our hearts in tbe giave of ,sTbe Daughter of tbe Confederacy," a3 she peacefully sleeps by ber father's side sbariog with bim the blessing of theil und our God. We can enly mooro and say God's will be done. To Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and to ber only remainiog child, Mrs J. A. H yes, we extend heartfelt and earnest sympathy, and as most kre.oly and for the rest of their lives, they must sofiVr^so in greater plenitude may the God of mercy comfort them and bring solace to 1 heir crushed and lacerated hearts. III. Fer three months, from September 18th, 1898, the camps of the division will drape their colors in mourning, in roaor of the memory of "The Daughter of tbe Con? federacy," and io testimony of ?he sincere gr ef of the comrades of the di vision.

Before tbe sale pf the Ohio River and Charleston railroad its authorities bad contemplated running a branch line from Camden to Sumter This would have given the road two cut? let 3, one by the Coast Line and the other by the Sonth Carolina and Georgia Since the latter road has absorbed the Ohio River and Charles? ton road, it bas also seen fit to estab iish the branch line The Ohio Riv. er and Charleston people bad already bad a route surveyed Mr. L A. Emerson, of the Sooth Carolina and Georgia was in the city yesterday conferring with the railroad commis stoners in regard to the minutiae of building the proposed branch road. It is not known when the new road will be built, but it is reasonably certain that such steps will be taken. The contemplated road would be a good thing for Sumter, making that a competitive point, by giving her two outlets, one by the Coast Line and the other by the South Carolina and Georgia It will also be a wise step for the South Carolina and Georgia road, as j the proposed road will not be over 15 miles long, from Middleton to Sumter and may bring considerable j business to the old road. The South Carolina and Georgia now controls a straight road from Marion N C., within 30 miles of| Asheville, to Charleston, with a branch from Biac^sburg to Gaffney, soon to be projected to Spartanburg -State Slicec?J?'?l Physicians.
