The Asheville excursion is a certain? ty and the biggest crowd ever carried out of Sumter on an excursion will go to Asheville. The trip will be a pleasant one and the stay in Asheville will be long enough to permit the crowd to see much of the most beauti? ful part of America.

The rain may have prevented a few people from attending the band con? cert last night, but notwithstanding this hindrance there was a large audi? ence present. The prediction that the concert would be the best the band had ever given was more than fulfiled, the greatest anticipations being fully realized. The programme had been carefully arranged and the thorough preparation that had been made for the occasion enabled every member of the band to carry ouf his part to per? fection. Thorough training by com? petent directors, familiarity with mu? sic and long practice fits the Second Regiment Band to sucessfuily play a class of music that few amateur or? ganizations ever atempt, and that, I when attempted success rarely attends the effort. Not so with the Second Regiment Band, they play the most difficult music as skillfully as most professional bands and much better than the majority. The concert was a triumph for the band, and the audience was more than pleased with the evening's entertain? ment. The Minuet was a charming feature of the entertainment and this graceful dance was never more grace? fully danced by the great grandmoth? ers of the charming young ladies who took part in it. The costumes of both ladies and gentlemen were particularly handsome and being exact replicas of ?the costumes worn a hundred and fifty years ago gave to the dance the air of reality that led the imagina? tions of the spectators back through the years that has passed to the day of romance and chivalry. Mrs. H. J. Harby sans one solo, and although the audience was de? lighted and applauded as enthusiasti? cally as possible in hope that she would respond to the encore and sing again they were disappointed and had to be contented with a single gem of vocal music. Miss Daisy Dean Goldsmith, who recited "A Pair of Boots," is a most accomplished elocutionist, graceful and gifted with a musical, flexible voice and having that dramatic and magnetic quality that attracts and holds the attention and sympathy of an audience. The male quartette rendered two selections with equal satisfaction to themselves and audience. The enteraainment]? was altogether a most successful and enjoyable event, and the band should arrange to give another during the summer. A Deep Mystery it is a mystery why women endure Back? ache.

It is not yet known whether the case will be brought to trial at this term of cot.rt or postponed ?until the October term. There is, of course, a possibil? ity that the trial will be held at this term, but it depends altogether upon whether both sides, the State and the defense, are ready for trial. Funeral of Frank K. Winn. The funeral of Frank K. Winn was held in the Presbyterian Church Sat? urday afternoon at 5.30 o'clock, the ser,-ices being conducted by Rev. N. W. Edmunds assisted by Dr. Davis of Columbia. The services were simple, but inexpressibly sad, and there was not one of the large congregation pres? ent but who was impressed with a feeding of sadness, and all felt for the family in their terrible grief and afflic? tion. Dr. Edmunds, in his brief address, referred in the strongest terms of con? demnation, to the evil of carrying con? cealed weapons, from which evil prac? tice the deplorable tragedy, the sudden violent death of a young man in the strength of youth resulted. He ap? pealed to all men, the young men es? pecially, to frown down this evil, and to band themselves together to put a stop to it. If men will fight, and it is true that they will on occasion, they should not fight to the death, and if the.' would not carry concealed wea? pons they would not fight to the death. Thc land would be freed from the dreadful evil, the shedding of blood would be rare and many lives would be spared. BISH0PVILLE NEWS. Bishopville, June 17.-The laying of the cornerstone of the new town hall, which was to have taken place here on Thursday, June 20th, has been postpon? ed indefinitely on account of Senator Tillman having other engagements that prevented him from getting here in time.

Corn is also small and needs attention. Small grain which is being harvested, is fine although some? what dmaged by the raains. Mr. Arthur Baskin has just return? ed from Memphis, Tenn., where he at? tended the 'old soldiers' reunion. He stopped over at Arlington, Tenn., to spend a few davs with his brother, Dr. A. C. Baskin.
