Work on macadamizing Main street will be commenced in a short time says the special committee. The street committee has purchased 2t000 tons of crushed rock, not 20,000 ons as was inadvertently stater! yes? terday. The heaviest fall of hail ever seen by the "oldest inhabitant" is said to have occurred in the Rafting Creek section last Monday. The ball cranks are getting things in shape to have a "fat and lean" game in the near future. The twe teams will be corkers and it will bo worth money to see them play. The ' ' uncontaminated bontons un besillicus" is what a survivor of the Columbia reunion was talking on Main street Thursday morning, after reaching the city from Columbia. At a meeting of the County Legisla? tive delegation held yesterday, it was decided to recommend Mr. Isaac W. Bradley of Mayesville, for appointment as Magistrate at that place. Sousa's world famous band has written to the manager of the Opera House for a date in next February. This will probably be the star attrac? tion of the next theatrical season in this city.

The fire alarm Sunday afternoon was caused by a small fire at Mr. W. T. Hall's house on Salem Avenue. The fire was extinguished with a few buckets of water before the reel squads arrived. The managers of the "fat and lean", base ball teams are growing so enthusi? astic over the plan that they are thinking of ransacking the country regardless of expense, to secure the best possible base ball talent of the right size and shape. The County Board of Education has ordered that a special election be held in Magnolia School District No. 22 "for the purpose of deciding whether or not the Constitutional School tax shall be supplemented with an extra levy of 4 mils.

Two thousand tons of crushed granite were purchased last week for macadamizing Main Street. The price paid is said to be 90 cents a ton deliv? ered. Two years ago the rock used on Main Street cost $1.20 a ton delivered. The present work will be, therefore, decidedly cheaper than that two years ago.

It is not propos? ed to apply for a charter and organize the bank until fall, but the stock will all be placed within the next few weeks and the bank is now ah assured fact. That the proposed bank is needed in Sumter is the opinion of a large num? ber of business men and the subscrip? tion list already shows the names of quite a number of the wealthiest and most successful business men in this county. The shares will have a par value of 850 each and the payments on stock will be made in easy install? ments so as to enable all who desire to subscribe for stock to do so.

Line Will be Built to Camden to Connect With S. C. Telephone Company. The Sumter Telephone Co. has clos? ed a contract wiht the South Carolina Telephone Co. for a long distance telephone service and Sumter will soon be on the circuit connecting all of the large towns of the State and the big cities of the North, South and West. The Sumter Telephone Co. will build a long distance line to Camden te* which point the South Carolina Tele? phone Co. agrees to build a long dis? tance line from Columbia. The poles for the Sumter-Camden line are now on the ground and Mana? ger Belser of the local company, states that unless some unfor seen obstacle arises the line will be completed to Camden within the next six weeks. Long distance service will be established as soon as the Colum bia-Camden line shall be completed, which will be about the time the Sumter line is finished or soon there? after. The tolls for long distance messages will be made as reasonable as possible and it is expected that the business men of this city will find the service economical and very convenient. Miss Florence Newman, who bas been a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism, says Chamberlain's Pain Ba!m is the only remedy tbat affords ber relief.

SHALL SUMTER BE THE NEXT. The Question of Inviting the Veterans to Meet in Sumter Next Year. Mr. Editor : The reunion of the Confederate Veterans of South Caro? lina for 1901, is now an event of the past. There was extended to the con? vention no invitation for 1902, and in consequence the selection of a place for next meeting is left to the discre? tion of the Commanding General of the South Carolina Division, Gen. C. Irvin Walker. Now Mr. Editor, Sumter in one sense might be considered to have done her duty in extending an invita? tion last year to this body for the meeting in 1901. But does this natu? rally follow ? In a few more years there will be no old confederates to whom we may do honor. Hence iffwe would honor them and through them the cause for which they contended from '61 to '65, it must be done soon. Columbia has responded most nobly to the call made upon her, nobly did I say : Y'es ! and in a manner that no other city in South Carolina is able to do, except perhaps Charleston. Now sir, Sumter (in size) is neither Charleston nor Columbia and may not be able to do quite as well as Colum? bia has done. But with a steady pull and a pull altogether Sumter can entertain the veterans all the same. The only question now is are we will? ing to make the effort ?

The family of Mr. John W. Mont? gomery-, of St. Charles, had an ex? perience Monday afternoon that no one would care to undergo. During a thunder storm the house was struck by lightning and every member of the family was severely shocked, though none were seriously injured. The bolt struck the roof, near a chimney, scattering the shingles in all directions. The weatherboarding on one end and side was torn off and scat? tered over the yard and part of the plastering in one room was knocked down. The only thing in the room that was injured was a double-barrel shotgun, which was leaning in one corner. This was split from muzzle to stock, one barrel falling in one direc? tion the other in the opposite. After tearing off the weatherboarding the electric current jumped from the house to a pump on the back piazza and did no more damage. Mr. Montgomery says ho knows the lighting never stopped till it got to the bottom of the pump, for it stirred up things at the bottom so thoroughly that the water has been red ever since.
