How would the business men of Sum? ter feel if Bishopville got this connec? tion and Sumter got left? If Sumter people do not buy dry goods and clothing this summer it will not be the fault of the merchants, for many of them are offering goods at and below cost.

J China Second Regiment Band concert will be given in the Opera House to? night. The band is a local institu? tion that the people of Sumter are much given to boasting about to strangers, and this evening will afford an opportunity for showing how much the people ?really appreciate the band. It is rumored that the Delgar Reel Squad will challenge the Camden Hose Company for a race to be pulled off in Camden on the 4th of July. Nothing definite can ' be learned, but we hear the squad will endaevor to perfect arrangements to carry a crowd of excursionists over with them. A day in Camden can be pleasantly spent for the old historic town is a very pretty place. We believe if the young men succeed in their intentions they will have with them in Camden on the day of the proposed race several hundred of our people. We hope the Delgars will succeed in the undertak? ing.' Arrangements are being made by several gentlemen to run. an excursion jrain to Asheville, X. C., about July 1st. The present plan is to have a train of five or more passenger coaches and baggage and refreshment cars. The train will leave about 6.30 and reach Asheville abont midday. Two and a half days will be spent in Ashe? ville and the return trip will be made on the night of the third day. The trip will be the cheapest ever offered to the people of this section of the state and the excursion will afford the best opportunity they have ever had or will have this summer to visit the mountains of North Carolina. The arrangements have progressed so far that the excursion may be regarded as a certainty and only the details as to the date and rates are yet to be settled.

The corner stone laying has. therefore, been postponed for the present and the date for the ceremo? nies will be announced later. It is hoped that when the corner stone is laid Senator Tilintan will be able to lie present and deliver the addrss. "Warding: 24 Hours a Day.
