C. C. Conyers is the presiding officer of this special lodge. Nelson Cfeavis, a Redboneof our township, who will serve cn the petit jory next month, has a remarkable family history in regard to military service.

F. PISGAH NEWS. Pisgah, Sept. 19.-The big rain here on the 11th instant seemed to have drawn the line between summer and fall. The cool weather daring the last few days has been a tonic to oar people from the excessive heat We fcope to never see another euch a bot cnmmer. A short time ago a terrible hail fell here on a few places. Messrs. T. M. Bradley, J. M Ross, S. W. James, C. S. Baker and others got the force of it. The young corn was eplit into shreds and cotton beat out on the ground. Mr. Bradley told me that he thought be lost 300 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, while that he picked was so dirty that it would command a very low price. Wat. Watson^ an industrious colored man, who lives on Mr. J. D. Evans' place, bad the misfortune to lose a stack or so of fodder by lightning cot long siace. Wat. says be had jast finished a stack a short time when it was struck, and he is happy at his escape, as be desires to iive here a long time yet. Mr L A. White has the prettiest patch of cotton I have seen this year. It is as green as in mid summer, and no doubt our friend is proud of it, as I notice be is sporting a "black mustache." He says there is a bale to the acre open on it now. He lets it all open before be picks it, and uses the seed to plant with. A large congregation assembled at M ?zoah Charch os Sunday last to witness the ordi? nance of baptism, which was administered in the church, by the pastor, Rev. J. Walter Kenney, to ll persons, at the close of the ^services. Mr. Kenney preached a sermon ap? propriate for the occasion. The church cold only seat about half the people present. Capt J. fi. McLeod has been quite sick in bed for the last week. Rev. E. A. McDowell and family, of Monticello, visited his sister, Mrs J. H. Mc? Leod last week. Also her?oiece, Miss Mamie Team, of Bishopville. From present indications there will be a good many people take each other for "better or for worse" in the near future. If a large number of them would see, thick and study twiee before acting, they would have less to regret in the future. All my life I have loved France. Loved her because she came to os in a time cf need and gave us that noble patriot and soldier, Lafayette, to battle for onr rights, but the recent condemnation of Dreyfus the second time, to save and hide her corrupt officials, has obliterated that warm and high opinion I have had for her. She bas both persecuted and prosecuted him, an innocent man. There is o?t a particle cf proof brcrght to light in bis trial to convict him. She, a strong nation, pouring out her wrath on him ana punishing bim is in keeping with barbarians, and for what ? To please the army. No pardon can right the wrong done to that man. No wonder tbs world is aroused about the treatment be has received, and it makes the blood boil io one'3 veins to read about it. Put France by the side of Spain. There is her place. She has lost the right to stand by the side of the civilized Christian nations cf the earth. In trying to degrade Dreyfus she has degraded herself, and lo3t ber moral bold on the world. Her star of destiny bas gone down in a cloud of dishonor and set forever CUBAN OIL cures (ats, Burns, Bruises, Kheuraa and Sores. Price, 25 cts. Sold by Hugbson-Ligon Co. PROGRESSIVE SOUTH CARO? LINA. Official Hand Book of the State m Which Sumter Should Have a Prominent Place. Mr. M. Oblaoder, who is engaged in collect? ing statistics for bis book, "Progressive South ; Carolina," was?in the citj last Wednesday I afternoon for a few boors.

"Throughout our fair Southland can be heard the ringing of the tocsin of progress. None of our sister States possess more amply or more lavishly all that goes toward the making of a great and grand commonwealth. The eyes of the capitalist, the mercantile investor, and the sturdy emmigraet are today scanning the South as their'mecca of bope.; In the summing up, it is South Carolina's duty to occupy that position which by natu? ral heritage is hers-'the front rank ' " Mr. Ohlander is at present collecting sta? tistics in Columbia, bot will return to Sum? ter within the next two weeks to gather the facts for bis write up of Sumter. Se will then go before the Business League to explain the scope of the work more fuliy. Each town will be written up whether a dollar is subscribed in that town or not, bot the man? ufacturers and business men of each place will have an opportunity to insert special advertisements io the book Not the Wisest Way. It is not always best to wait until it is needed before buying a bottle of Chamber? lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Quite frequently the remedy is required in the very busiest season or in the night and much inconvenience t?nd suffering must be borne before it can be obtained, lt cost? but a trifle as compared with its real worth and every family can well afford to keep it in their home. It is everywhere acknowledged to be tbe most successful medicine in tbe world for bowel complaints. For eale by Dr. A. J. China. The freight and passenger transfer tracks connecting the Southern and Atlantic Coast Lice have been completed. It is rcmored that until the Southern passenger depot is built that road will use the A.

During the service at the Lutheran Church last evening Miss Bolton, of Charleston, now visiting at Hotel Marion, most excellently sang Bischoff'8 : "I Heard the Voice of Jesu3 Say." Barglars entered the residence of Mr. Paul Kennedy yesterday morning, stole two gold watches, a quantity of silverware and many articles of clothing, and then made their escape., The burglars were seen going to? ward Providence, and Chief of Police Brad? ford and Mr Kennedy followed them about 12 miles, then gave up the chase. For wounds, burns., scalds, sores, skin dis? eases and all irritating eruptions, nothing ao soothing and healing as DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.

S'reet Commissioner Tribble is working on the last section of Main street tbat is to be macadamized at this time. The next macad? am work should be done at one time and not by piece meal. Main street should be mac? adamized from Calhoun street to the depot and Liberty street from Washington street to Harvio or Magnolia street. By letting the work out by contract and having it all done at once tbe city coali save money and secure a better job. Tbe pain of a burn or scald is almost in? stantly relieved by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It also heals the injured parts more quickly than any other treatment, and without the burn is very severe does not leave a scar. For sale Oy Dr. A. J. China. Work on the Northwestern R.

In another column we publish a Dotice from Quartermaster Palmer, calling in the arms, uniforms and equipments of the Bisb? opville Guards. This means that the Guards have disbanded, and all the equipments of the company will be turned over to the Adju? tant and Inspector General of the State. Some time ago this company was reorgan? ized with some 60 or 70 members, but have never gotten in shape to be accepted by the proper authorities , and owing to the lack of interest manifested in the company by its members, it was found necessary to disband.

During the last few years Sumter county bas not been represented at the fair by the numerous exhibits of field crops, stock and manufactured articles that should be there, and it is to be hoped that there will be a marked improvement in this particular this year. At a time whin every possible means should be utilized to advertise and bring our town and county before the public, ths State Fair should not ^>c neglect? ed, and in many respects no better method could be adopted for advertising the county than by placing a fine and extensive exhibit at the State Fair. The Charleston correspondent of the Co? lumbia Stale says that the Charleston Busi? ness Leagut wiil make every effort to induce the Sumter Tt-lephoue Co. to build the new j factory in Charleston. The Charleston peo j pie are undoubtedly waking up and are j learning to recognize R good thing, but in : this instance the efforts of the business league j will be fruitless.

Early Closing on Saturday Night Daiiy Item, September 15. A committee of the Young Men'e Christian Association, consisting of Messrs. Bartow Walsh, J. L Haynswortb, H. L. Scarbor? ough, R. I. Manning and A. B. Stuckey, is callicg on the mercbants for the purpose of irjducirjg them to close their stores at 10 o'clock on Saturday nights. Only a few of the merchants have been seen, and it is diffi? cult to say in advance whether all of the merchants will aeree to close at the hour named, but thus far the committee bas met with great encouragement and they have rea? son to believe that a majority of the mer? chants will agree to close their stores as re qaested. The committee contends that the merchants would lose no business by closing on Satnr day eight at 10 o'ciock and that the public would surfer no inconvenience a3 there is ample time between the close of the business day and 10 p. m. for everybody to do their trading. That closing the stores at 10 o'clock would be a great boon to the mer? chants and their employees is undisputable and it would work to the bene?t of all par? ties. There is no good reason for keepiog the stores open until 12 o'clock Saturday sight. Any merchant or clerk will tell you that the people who trade after 10 o'clock spend the eariy part of the night loafing on the streets and io the stores. They do not begin to trade until late, knowing that the stores will remain open until ll or 12 o'clock, and they find the stores, particularly in win? ter, comfortable loafing places. If it was a roleforthe stores to close promptly at 10 o'clock the loafers would do their trading early and go home instead of banging around and keeping the mercbants and clerke in the stores half the night. Daily Item, 16th. The Y. M. C. A. committee was eminently succesbful yesterday afternoon io securing the signatures of the merchants to the agree? ment lo doss the stores at 10 o'clock Satur? day night. Every merchant in town, white and colored, with one exception, signed tbe agreement to close at lo o'clock Saturday night, and this one-F. L. Stewart, colored, who rans a small store near the depot-may yet sign the agreement. The other store keepers should close whether Stewart does or not, for bis place of business is insignificant and not in the business district. Where is Bill Dickson ? "Several men from the Douglas section of Salem were io town last Wednesday night and they were vary free with their criticisms of those who went over to Salem in search of Bill Dixon. These parties are morally certain that Dixon and his party were in that section at that time, aod they believe if the searching party had made a diligent search instead of listening to one individual, Dixoo wonld have been caught. The parties alluded to, we know to be reliable men, and they hon? estly believe Dixon and his confederates were the parties seeo, and that some white man in that section misled the searching party with that "visit to a root doctor" theory. The buggy seen over there answers the description of the one stolen from Mr. Wells at Brog dons, and they claim the mule was one that came from near Mayesville Somebody is mistaken about the whereabouts of the Dixon gang certain, because at the very time these Salem gentlemen claim they were over there some strange negroes were seen in the Pisgah section of Snmter county driving a black horse to a buggy similar to the Wells boggy. News also came here that a party suspected of being the Dixon gang was seen on their way to Georgetown, and another suspected party waa below St. Stephens makiog: inqui? ries aboot the Savaocab train. So tber6 you are, and tbe question is st!1! opeo, where is the Dixou gang?-Manning Times. District Appointments.
