In a short note to this office, and dated the 16th, he makes the follow? ing announcement of the death of his child: Again God in His wisdom and good? ness has seen fit to take away our dar? ling. This is the fourth and last. Marion was two years old in May gone. She was a sweet, bright child, and a great comfort to us. Rev. Wm. H. Strickland, a well known Baptist minister, at one time pastor of the Darlington church, and afterwards at Anderson and Greenville, S. C., died at his home in Decatur, Ga., on August 9th. He was also for several years corresponding secretary of the State Mission Board, and was well known in Sumter as well as throughout the State. The result of the trial of Lawrence M. Foxworth in the Mayor's court was the principal topic of discussion on the streets the next day. Everybody wants to know why Foxworth was not found guilty if he really did go to Mr. Lide's house in an intoxicated condi? tion and did conduct himself in a manner that frightened Mrs. Lide and the other female members of the family. That's the question. a There was a fine sale of tobacco last Thursday. The quantity was large, the quality good and the prizes satisfac? tory. Sumter is not one of tke big tobacco markets of the State, but it handles a good lot of tobacco during a year and the prices are always as high as on the other markets. Mr. W. Quinn Jeffords, who for twenty years has been foreman of the carpenters' force of the roadway de? partment of the Northeastern Railroad Company at Florence, has been ap? pointed roadmaster of the Manchester and Augusta division of the Atlantic Coast Line system, with headquarters at Sumter.

Mr. Jeffords left Friday, accompanied by his family, for Sumter, where they will hereafter reside.-Florence Cor. News and Courier. We are in receipt of the handsomely illustrated catalogue of Converse Col? lege, showing its elegant plant, and high standard of work. This is an in? stitution of which the whole state should be, and is, proud. It is a per? manent gift to the cause of educating our young women, and is controlled by a non-denominational Board of Trustees. It has a good endowment, and is ranking in the South as the best colleges for women do in the North. The conservatory of music has an elegant Auditorium,* seating 2,000 people, with the magnificent pipe-or? gan (the largest in the South) and thirty-four music rooms. Everything is up to the highest standard of equipment and work. We call atten? tion to the advertisement in this issue. The following new novels are in the Sumter Library : Simon Dale-Hope. Splendid Spur-Couch. House in Bloomsbury-Oliphant. Heart of Toil-Thanet. Face to Face-Grant. Fair Barbarian-Burnett. Owing to the illness of one and the absence from the city of five impor? tant members of the Band, then- will be no concert on the Green until Sept.

Assistant Chi^f of Police Weeks cap? tured Sam Dozier last Wednesday with a cow in his possession that had been stolen from Mr. Sep. Harvin, of Clar? endon County. Dozier claims that he did not steal the cow and that he is an innocent victim of circumstances. He claims that th** cow was turned overt?) him to be sold by a man named Carpenter. The excuse was too thin to pass muster and Dozier was locked up to await trial at the next term of court.

The Sumter Club is arranging to give a dance Thursday night to the Sumter and Stateburg ladies. Glance over D. J. Chandler's new advertisement. The bargains in cloth? ing now offered cannot last long. The sporting coons down on Divine street are getting gay again, and a spe? cial policeman is to be detailed to look after them. Work on the jail was commenced Thursday and it will be put into thor? ough repair-as good as new-as quickly as the work can be done. The Congressional candidates spoke in Orangeburg yesterday and will spend the remainder of the week in Orange burg County. The open air concerts by the band are missed by hundreds, and when they are resumed September 1st there will be general satisfaction. The promoters of the Seaboard con? nection should be getting a move on and have the work of construction un? der way before January 1st. The primary on September 10th will not deprive the Third Circuit of its Judge, but the Legislative election in January will probably give the circuit new one. Dr. Wilson, of Charleston, says the city water is pure. When the report of the test to be made by the University of Pennsylvania has been received the people will know all about the water. The rains for several weeks have been very irregularly distributed in Sumter County. Some sections have had so much rain that the crops are suffering from an excess of moisture, while in other sections it is too dry. House breakers and burglars will find that Sumter is not a safe place for plying their trade. A blood hound is the most difficult of all detectives to throw off the track. Jim Veney, alias Hobo, the negro who escaped from the chain gang a few weeks ago was brought back Satur? day and was put in jail in shackles to be returned to the gang. He was cap? tured in Whitevil?e, X. C., Friday. Since his escape he has been to Charleston, Florence and Whiteville. The annual mountain excursion will be run today by the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Railway. Many who have not already visited the mountains this summer will take ad? vantage of the reduced rates. The county democratic executive committee will meet to-day to appoint managers and to make ar? rangements for the Congressional pri? mary to be held on September 10th. The card of Mr. L. I. Parrott, Ex Court Stenographer of the 3rd Judicial Circuit, will be found interesting reading, inasmuch as it throws light upon his dismissal from office by Judge Buchanan. Two games of ball were played at Dalzell yesterday between the Dalzell and Spring Hill clubs. The score of the first game was Dalzell 4: Spring Hill, 3. The second game resulted Dalzell, 17: Spring Hill, S. Moise, of Sumter, pitched for Spring Hill and Cuttino for Dalzell. Quite a number of Sumter people attended the second game.

The special street paving committee of City Council held a called meeting on the 13th at 6 p. m., to consider the proposition of Mr. W. Y. Fair, of Newberry, to take the contract for the macadam work on Main Street. After going ever the matter carefully, it was decided to accept the proposition and a contract was accordingly drawn up and signed. Mr. Fair agrees to fur? nish all material and to pave Main street from Liberty street to the At? lantic Coast Line track, to put in brick and cement enrbs to support the macadam and to do the work in a manner satisfactory to the street com? mittee. The work is to be commenced as soon as the City Board of Health will give permission and shall be com? pleted within sixty days. A forfeit of $3 a day will be paid for every day in excess of the sixty days allowed for the completion of the work, but in case the work shall be completed in less time Mr. Fair is to receive a bonus of S3 a day. --?> The man who pays for ten pounds of ice .gets about six or seven, and the twenty pound chunk weighs about fif? teen or less. The Kansas City law re? quiring ice dealers to weigh the ice in the customers presence would be a boon in Sumter. This year prices are i higher and the pounds are lighter j weight than heretofore. I Business Change. - Mr. D. M. Dick, who has been with B. J. Barnett for the past three years, and previous to tiiat time with Duck? er Sc Bultman for twelve years, has accepted a position with O'Donnell & Co., and after August 15th, he will be j found in O'Donnell & Co's, grocery' department and will be pleased to serve his friends.
