J S Hugh- : SOB & CO. Tribute of Respect. --- Again the dreaded summons I and in j the "twinkling of an eve," the breath j of our friend and brother, Harry. Ryt tenberg, is stayed forever. He was one of " Nature's Noblemen" I To know him, was to love him. Unaffected and simple in his habits, he pursued his way in life bearing the good opinion of all who knew him, the enmity of none. His death will be be regretted by the entire community. To the many who sought his advice, he was ever a faithful Counsellor. He had " A tear for pity, and a hand Open as day for melting charity. ' ' He was endowed with those traits of character and virtue which "GaveHhe world assurance of aman." He was of strong religious convic? tions, but liberal in his views, yielding to others the right to worship as their consciences dictated. He was upright, honorable, truthful and conscientious. He was a member of Claremont Lodge No. 64 A. F. M., of Beulah Chapter No. 25, R. A. M., of Sumter Lodge No. 1077, Knights of Honor; of Fidelity Lodge No. 251, Knights and Ladies of Honor: Sumter Lodge, No. 1, A. t>. U. W. ; the He? brew Benevolent Society, and the So? ciety of Associated Charities-and the Treasurer of all. He was a member of the Grand Lodge, Knigths of Honor, and a member of its Finance Commit? tee at the time of his death : he served his city as alderman, and he was Chairman of the County Board of Equalization. \ His death will be most felt in his family circle, for he was a loving hus? band and father. A useful and public spirited citizen has been called from labor to refresh? ment. As brothers, as Masons and as Men, we inscribe this testimony to the end that those who come after us may be inspired to live higher and purer lives. Therefore, be it Resolved : Our Lodge has lost a faithful mem? ber, one who has exemplified the prin? ciples of our order ; This city, a man who willingly and ably served her : The county, an efficient officer ; The State, "One who has done some ser? vice;" His family, an affectionate father, guide and friend. Humbly bowing to the will of God in removing from us Harry Rytten berg, we rejoice that we knew him and called him friend, and to those who weep and cannot be comforted, we tender our heartfelt sympathy and trust that God will give his mercy "to shine upon them" and strengthen them to bear with fortitude their heavy loss. Resolved, that a blank page in our record book be dedicated to the mem? ory of our Departed Brother, and that the usual badge of mourning be worn. Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, a copy sent to the family of our deceased brother, and that the" city papers be requested to publish them. ?

Strauss, Marion Moise, Committee Claremont Lodge, No. 64, A. F. M. The macadam work on Main Street may not be commenced until fall. The minutes of the meeting of City Coun? cil show that the matter was brought up and that it was proposed to postpone the paving until fall on account of the danger to public health that may result from the necessary ex? cavation of the sand on Main street. The chain gang has been kept busy the past sixty days repairing the dam? ages caused by the continued rains and the high water in all the swamps and streams. Supervisor Seale has been a very busy man going from one end of the county to the other, looking after the work on the roads and bridges. Many people who have never made a trip to the mountains will take advan? tage of the cheap rate offered by the excursion on Julv 9th to visit the "Land of the Sky."" Two and a half days in Asheville will give ample time to visit all of the points of inter? est and beauty of Asheville. It ia elater to keep well tb*o get cored.

The con? certs will be resumed this week and the lost time will be made up during the summer by giving several addi? tional concerts. The meeting being held by Evange? list Ingle of the Christian Church at Whites Hall has closed. Two converts were -: baptised Thursday afternoon. The Christian Church of Sumter and Eangelist Ingle are under many obli? gations to the Bartlette Street Church for their kindness in loaning them their baptistery.

A great many Sumter people have already ?ro?e to the mountains or the springs for the summer and many oth? ers will leave this week.

Quite a number of Citadel cadets spent Saturday in the city and many others passed through on the morning trains. They were en route to their homes from" Darlington where they have been encamped.

TUTE AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, AT MAYESVILLE S. C. Some Facts About the School. The tenth year of the Lowry Insti tate and Industrial School was closed" on Friday, June 28. The commence? ment exercises were attended by an immense crowd. Quite a number of white people. were present and were pleased with the entertainment given. The exercises were much better than they have ever been since the found? ing of the Institute. In the afternoon a picnic dinner was served on the jrounds of the school, and a parade of the younger scholars was given through tne town.

The address of Prof. Wallace was a reat. It was brimful of good thoughts, xpressed in the choicest of language. Iis advice to his race was sound and B ho wed that he held broad-minded J views on the great problems of today. - He urged a greater interest in educa? tion by his people, and in a civiliz? ing agencies. Prof. Wallace is one of the leaders in this State in colored edcuational matters, and is well known; to be a man of high intellectual atj tainments. He stands as an exam? ple of what education rightly applied1 ' may do for the colored man or women. The institution was, indeed, fortunate in securing his services for the occa? sion. \ Prof. Wallqce was introduced by an? other weil known colored man, George W. Murray, of this county, former? ly Congressman from this district. In a few well chosen words, he intro? duced the the speaker of the evening. The Lowry Institute and Industrial School was founded in 189L Since that time, it has steadily grown in the number of scholars and in influ? ence. Under its present management, Lt has every prospect of continued mccess and greater achievement. The president, and financial agent, W. M. Boley, is an enterprising and energetic man and is always ready to help the ;ause in which he is interested. His report to the trustees on Friday was approved by that board and it was veil pleased with his work. The .acuity of teachers is composed of per? sons well trained for their profession md much efficient work has been car? ried on under their* direction. This year the management has done i srreat " deal toward the completion of ;he school building and has, also, mrchased a lot on which to erect an? ther building. They hope to have - ;his building completed within the ?ext year . In order to put the indus ;rial department in full operation the uni of ?10.000 is needed. This depart nent has not been fully equipped on iccount of lack of funds, as it takes [uite a large sum to operate success - ully this part of the Institute. Mr. Shepard Nash, of Sumter, has >een elected treasurer of the Institute, md Hon. Marion Moise, attorney. The next session of this institution rill open on Oct. 1, 1901.
