A Iiong Range Guess.
The Oraugeburg eorreepondeot of The State
sakes to fol.owing bold astertioa that bas
Wited the firemen of Sum UT to laugh :
"Ko saco fire as occurred at Sumter the
day oar test WM coade can occur bera if
wubin the reach of the fite system, which
.overs tba cuy."
Saater bar toe best equipped and most
.Sacien t volunteer ire department io the
State, tbat of Colatnuia excepted in so far as
tbe e%u:p?uent ts concerned, and tba water
system is undoubtedly the equal, if not the
superior of any other in tbe State, yet the
ire occurred. The fire department was on
the ground and bad several stream* of water
wo tbe fire wittie three roioutes after the
alarm ?as given, and, before tbe fire was
extinguished, more than a balf million gal
tons of water were thrown on rbe bnraing
buildings. Tbe damage was all done within
a hilf hour and the greater part of tue les?
..curred within ten minutes after the fire was
discovered. It is easy to m ike a long range
brag l:ke tbe ?ne quoted above, but squaring
the ooast with the facts it? another thing.
-;Fire Came Down !"
A shining light among the prisoner in
the j*il on vbe night wren the jail wae
.uroed, was Ed O'Can tey, a negro preacher
of the local exhorter variety He was tried
and coovtcted of rape at the last term of
court, but was not sentenced, owing to the
unexpected adjournment of court in C?Dse?
quence of the illness of Judge Gary.
He has oeeu kept in jdil awaitog sen?
tence, and, as be bad no bio;j else to do and
so trial to worry about, be bas spent bis time
to a large extent in preaching, praying aod
singing Ga Monday night toe Rev Edward
be!d a lengthy prayer and song service and
had just concluded ny singing with gr*-at
unction "Fire Came Down 1" when thecoaifia
gratioo broke oat and in a moment Epper?
son's stable was a seethisg, rearing mass of
flv^es and the jail was almost immediately
enwrapped io billows cf smoke and fire
which the high wind swept across tbe nar?
row street
The other prisoners were for the ticse too
badly scared to think or say anything about
the surprising climax to the Rev Edward's
song service, bet when they were all safely
lodged in the guard boose aod the keen
edge of meir terror bad worn off, th* Rev
Bdward started to sing "Fire Came Down 1"
again But as soon as be began einging
there was aa outcry from all the' prisoners,
and bia cellmate expostulated forcibly witb
aim after tbis meaner : "Look a here, you
? - fool nigger, boab ap your --

PRINCE PRO TEM.
A Slow Show and a Small
House.
Dan Packard's "Prince Pro Tem" Co ap?
peared io the Opera Boose last Friday night
oefore a email audience The less said about
the quality of the show the better, for there
was little to commend in tbe perfo rcacce
The play itself was neither opera nor vaude
villeoutaa oo3atisfactory combination of both
with other things thrown in. The small
bossa may have bad a depressing effect upon
the spirits of the players, for they went
through their parts in a desultory port of
wayas :f they never expected to visit Sumter
again and didn't eire whether they pl^ed
the crowd or not. There were a few clever
specialties scattered be-e and there through
tht; performance and the crowd that came out
