heavy to killing frosts that injured

vegatables. Ice was observed on two
mornings.
liiere was from 1 to 3 inches of
raine over the whole State, farther
delaying farming operations, which
were already from two to three weeks
later than osnal. Over the western
postions of the State plowing has
been impracticable the entire spring,
owing to the wet condition of the
ground, and of course little or nc
plan-ting bas been done except in
patches. Over the central and

Tjave been prepared in this section,
and some sea-island and a little
upland cotton bas been planted.

has made favorable progress, bot
some rice fields have been recently
inundated. Some cane has also been
planted .
Tobacco plants, in beds, are avail
able to set ont as soon as the weather
becomes warm enough ; a little has
already been transplanted.
It appears from correspondents'
reports, that peaches are about all
killed, bot tha,t apple, pear cherry
trees are^blooming profusely. Gar
dens are isle, and not growing well.

School Chart Firm.
The Superintendent of Edooation has
received from B. 0. Evaos & Go..
the school chart meo, a letter asking
permission to canvass the schools of
the state in the interest of a school
library gotteo op by them. Of course
the superintendent will pay no attention
to the request. The firm states that
it is no longer pecuniarily interested
in the ohart matter. They have gotteo
their money and the trastees who
bought from them will be the losers.
Educational and Missionary Insti
tuts.
The Educational and Missionary institute
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Sooth, of
Sumter District, assembled ia the Methodist
Church last night. The services were opened

College, N. C, who delivered an interesting
and pleasing lecture. He spoke for an hour
and a-half, holdicg the undivided attention
of a large congregation for the entire time.
The Institute will continue in session today
and tomorrow, services of a special character
being held at night. Sessions will be held
at 9.30 a. m , 4 p m. and 8.30 p. m.
The Institute is held in ths interest of the
educational and mission fond of one and a
half million dollars that the Methodists pro
pose to raise before the eod of the century.
NOTES ESOM PISGAH.
April the tenth and winter yet. We are
cold op here where the wind can get at us
good. The tender vegetation looks sick, and
we are worse so, for various reasons. Rations
going, and co work scarcely being done.
May be we are j-:st nearing the end of this
bard, cold winter. I notice the peach trees
below Spring Hill, in places, are fall of young
fruit, but whether they will stick or not,
remains to be seen.
Measles is getting rather thick in places,
not only on one, bot on many. It seems that
the epidemic of a few years ago did cot get
all. Colds, coughs, sore throats, c., are
above par, and jve would trade the stock of
such things off at a large discount.
What slick-tongue next wants some of the
schoo! men ? ? I am rubbing up an old pen
to stick with. Wheo I get it bright wiil let
you see it.
The sudden death of Prof J. P. Gibbs wa3
quite a shock to his many friends here, where
he bad lived and taught school for years. He
was buried at Rembert's church on yesterday
at 12 m , after a fine service by the Episcopal
minister of your city A large number were
present to testify to the respect and friendship
they bore bim. Tbe floral tributes by the
ladies, were beautiful and touching indeed,
and the many tearful eyes showed the deep
sympathy and feeling for him by the best of
God's creation. None of his relatives were
p sent, but he did not die a '/stranger in a
stranger's land," but among his best and
dearest friends, who tenderly laid bim away.

Horse Thief Captured..
William Dixon, colored, ac escaped con
vict from the Clarendon county chain gang,
was captured near Bi hopville on Tuesday of
last week with a horse belonging to Mr. C. R.
Harvio, of Manciog, in bia possession. He
was brought to this city Wednesday afternoon
and committed to j-iii until be could be sent
on to Manning. Dixon escaped from the
Clarendon chain gang some time ago, and a
reward was offered for his capture, but he
succeeded in keeping out of the way of tbe
officers. Io the meantime several horses were
stolen iu Clarendon county, and it is now '
believed that he stole all of them, but there
ls no proof agaist him except in the case of
tbe Harvin horse wbicb was in bis possession
when captured.
There 9 some talk of the Wilson k Sum
merton R. R. building from Oswego to Cam
den instead of from this city, as originally
planned. The ebange of route, if it is made,
will be due to the great cost of the right of
way ia this city and immediate vicinity.
Tbe route by Oswego will be but little longer
and mocb cheaper, owing to the less cost of
rights o' *ay.
London Thompson was before the Mayor
Monday for creating a disturbance and
using profane language on the streets. The
sentence was $10 or twenty days. Meriman
Graham was np for reckless driving, and
being found guilty was required to pay a Soe
of $5 or work ten days on the streets.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery bas been made, and
that, too, by a lady in this country. "Disease
astened its clutches upon her and for seven
% ears she withstood ita severest tests, but ber
vita! organs were undermined and death seem
ed imminent. For three months she coughed
incessantly, acd could not sleep. She finally
discovered h w *y to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all night ; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.
Her name i* Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes

Meeting of Harmony Presbytery
The Presbytery of Harmony convened in
the Presbyterian Cbnrch at Bisbopville, on
Wednesday last, at 8 o'clock p. m The
oneniug sermon pas preached, in the absence
of the retiring Moderator, Rev. Howard L.
Patterson, by theRer. Dr. McKay, of Salem.
The organization was effected bj the elec
tion of the Rev W. H. Mills as moderator
and tbe Rev. C. M. Richards as temporary
clerk.
All tbe ministers of the Presbytery were
present with one exception, and tbe represent
ation of elders wa9 pretty fall Tbe church
in this city was represented by Mr. J. D.
Wino, being his first experience in that line,
and giving promise of great usefulness ic the
future.
Narratives of the state of religion, statis
tical Sand abbath school reports were sent up
from twenty-seven of the thirty-two churches
which comprise the body Tbe narratives
were generally cheerful and encouraging.
Tbe statistics showed that the money con
tributed by the Churches reporting, fer self
support and for the various causes of the
Church at large amounted to between eleven
and twelve thousand dollars and the Sab
bath schools reports showed that, while this
important branch of the Church's work was
largely emphasized, yet tbe officers aod older
members generally did not take the interest
in it that they should. \
The work of the Presbytery was mainly
routine, though there were some animated
discussions on several matters of moment.
The Rev. W. J. McKay, D. D , was chosen
as principal ministerial and Mr Samuel
Bradley as lay commissioner to the General
Assembly which meets in Richmond on next
month, and Rev. Mr. Gaston of Mt Zion and
Eider H. L. Scarborough as alternates.
Preebytery adjourned near midnight of
Friday to meet next fa T in Manning
Bisbopville is certainly beautiful for situa
tion witb ita broad level area and its fertile
surroundings, and if built up might be not
only the fitting seat of a county, but the
proud capital of a state.
The Hoes fell to tbe writer io pleasant
places when be was assigned a home under
the hospitable aod generous roof of Mr.
Robert Carnes, senator of Lee Coucty during
tbe term of its existence. If one would
know what true hospitality is let bim seek
it under that roof, though every Presbyter
was ready to say, not there but under the
roof under which it was my good fortune to
scpuro, or indeed no der any roof io Bish
opville. This hospitality was shown not
only in the welcome to their homes, bot also
in the generous attendance of the people opon
all the sessions and the preaching of the
Presbytery. The people seemed glad to see
and we were sorry when the time came for
us to part from them.

NORTHERN LADY'S VIEWS.
She Shows Flattering Appreciation
of Sumter Emerrprise.
To the Editor of The Daily Item.
I hardly think that tbe people of this city
realize how far ahead of most places of tbe
same size they are both in culture abd busi
ness enterprise.
There are many facts which I might point
out to illustrate the truth of this statement,
. but one will suffice.
As I am a woman who resides in oce of
the largest cities of tbe country, I assume
that you will grant that I am competent to
speak authoritatively on that distinctly femi
nine matter-millinery. Besides it ia espe
cially timely at thi3 season.
Well, I was passing Miss McDonald's milli
nery store the other day when the frie -d
with me called my attention to the beautiful
window displays.
If such artistic creations are not a sign of
culture I don't know what is.
That old southern cabin with all its life
like details would have done credit even
to an establishment like Wanamaker's.
The display in the other wiodow was a
delicate conception worked out with the true
aesthetic sense of a painter. Inside tbe store
tbe combination of culture and business
en'erprise was equally praiseworthy. I am
not flattering Miss McDonald whee I say that
ber spring display would compare very
favorably both in freshness and style with
the spring displays of the milliners of New
York itself.
It is often a source of wonder to visitors
that the women of euch a smail place as this
so far removed from tbe large cities, are
dressed so stylishly. But a visit to a store
like the one to which I bave jost referred ex
plains the mystery.
Mies McDonald may be termed tbe con
necting link between tbe fashionable produc
tions of Philadelphia and New York and the
fashionable needs of Sumter.
If you think this testimony of a stranger
may be of any benefit to your enterprising
townswoman, you are at liberty to publish
every word I have written. O ly don't use
my real name, but sign it
lt NORTHERN VISITOR.
Yellow Jaundice Cured,
Suffering humanity should be supplied with
every moans possible for its relief. It is with
pleasure we publish the following : "This is
to certify that I was a terrible sufferer from
Yellow Jaundice for over six months, and was
reated by some of the best physicians in our*
city and ail to no avail. Dr. Bell, our drug
gist, recommended Electric Bitters ; and after
taking two bottles, I was entirely cuicd. I
now take great pleasure in recommending them
to any person suffering from this terrible mal
ady. I am gratefully yours, M. A. Hogarty,

THE SUMTER COMPRESS COM
PANY.
The books of subscriptions to the capital
stock of the Sumter Compress Company were
opened last Wednesday and the subscriptions
amounted io $18,700. The remaioder of the
S25.000 authorized capital will be placed
without trouble as all bat two or three tboa
eand dollars was pledged before the applica
tion for a charter was made. All of tbese
subscriptions will te nade good and the
remainiog twedy or thirty shares will be
taken by those now interested, if no new
subscriptions cerne forward. There are a
number of business men in this city, whose
coutinued success and -.rosperity depend
upon the growth of Sumter, who have not
taken a dolors worth of stock in the Com
pany although they are well able to do so.
It is this sort of public spirit that has retard
ed the growth and prosperity of Sumter for
the past ten years and bas made it a bard
aod up-bill taek for the men who bave the
disposition to establish enterprises to accom
plish anything No one ia asked to give
away money, bot simply to unite with others
to establish enterprises that will benefit the
town, increase business, attract desirable
people and pay satisfactory dividends on tbe
money invested. The chief difficulty is not
a lack of money in Sumter, buH the disposi
tion of tbosa who bare it to board it with
miser-like selfishness, for fear that some other
people may by some chance be benefitted, if it
is invested in any enterprise. The establish
ment of tbe compress is assured, and it will
bring more cotton to Sumter than baa ever
been marketed here before, but the refusal of
many business men to take stock acd help
the enterprise along is making it a more diffi
cult undertaking than it should be for those
who have taken stock and mean to have the
compress io operation this year.

In the ordinary course of events the past
week would have been the period for the
spring holiday at tbe Graded School. It is
fortunate that consideration ef the Reunion
at Charleston induced the Board of Education
to make a change ; for the past week bas
been cold, wet, aud disagreeable-far more
suitable for work than for rest and recrea
tion.
