ber of his steff, and will hereafter be

Among the petit jurymen this week
are Messrs. Charlie Pinckney and
y- McDonald Furman. It is an interest?
ing coincidence that their great
grandfathers, Gov. Charles Pinck?
ney and Dr. Richard Furman, were
both members of the South Carolina
Constitutional Convention of 1790.
Gov. Pinckney presided over the Con?
vention, and his portrait was copied
this summer at the home of Mr. H.
L. Pinckney, Sr.. for the c ci ty of
Philadelphia, to be hung in Indepen?
dence Hail.

A fairly good audience heard Blind
Tom last Thursday night. The con?
cert was much the same as Tom has
been giving since he first began to ap?
pear in public. For a blind and ig?
norant negro of weak mind his play?
ing is wonderful.

who are accused of setting fire to their
store in Timmonsville and causing the
big fire in that place, have been - ar?
rested and committed to the Florence
jail.
Cut this out and take it to Dr A J Chi?

ed. The stores will be repainted and

speed beyond the limit allowed by law.
Officer Weeks got on the "police
horse" and ran the offender down and
arrested him.
The crowd in town Saturday was larg?
er than usual and things had more of
the appearance of fall than they have
had in some days. If cotton continues
on the decline, however, the fall trade
will soon be over, and dullness will
settle down upon the business world
once more.
Death of Mr. J. A. McClure.
I
Telegrams received by relatives in
this city announced the death of Mr.
J.? A. McClure at Hawkinsville, Ga.,
last Wednesday. Mr. McClure has been
in failing health for several months,

ness matter delayed his coming.
Deceased was a native of Pennsylva?
nia, but has resided many years in
I the South. He has a host of friends in
Sumter who will be surprised and
grieved by his death. His wife and
only child reside in this city and have
our sincerest sympathy in their sore
bereavement. "Heart disease was the
cause of death.
The body arrived in the city Friday
morning aiid the funeral services were
held in the First Methodist Churcn

There was some annoyance at :ihe I
Opera House Friday night, caused by j
persons running up and down the steps j
and talking in a loud tone of voice
just outside the doors. This should
be stopped by the proper authorities,
as it is qn.ite disagreeable to the audi?
ence, ana especially so during a lecture.
Officers Smith and McKagen arrest?
ed Sidney Farmer, colored, Monday for
beating his wife and son. Farmer
runs a restaurant on Main street, next
to Witherspoon Bros & Co's store. It
seems that he got on a little too. much
"fuss X" and went home in a bad
humor. He did not go to" the lock up
willingly,, but had to be pursuaded by
the officers. The Mayor fined him $15
or 30 days.
The "Down In Dixie" company,
composed of students from the Sumter
Military Academy, held a rehearsal
in the Opera House Monday after?
noon. The play will be given on
Thursday night, the 14th inst. This
play was. gi vea in Orangeburg last
year and the Opera House was crowd?
ed. It is hoped the citizens of Sumter
will give it a large patronage, also,
for it is a play well worth seeing.
The students will do all in their power
to put it on in first-class style.
The first issue of the "Sumionian."
the journal of the S. M. A. and F. S.,
hsa been given to the public. For a
beginning the journal makes a very
fair appearance, but is rather scarce
on reading matter and the joke de?
partment contains some hits that are
hard to comprehend. However, the
"Sumtonian" will, no doubt, im-,
prove with time.
A Liberal Offer.
.The undersigned wiil give a free sample
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab?
lets to any one wanting a reliable remedy
for disorders of the stomach, biiliousness
or constipation. This is a new remedy
and a good one. Dr A J China.
One of the most attractive exhibits
in the Sumter County section at the
Charleston Exposition will be that cf
the Sumter Water Company. The
water will be displayed in a large glass
vessel to show its purity and clearness
and it will be kept on "tap to quench
the thirst of the thirsty. -A fresh
supply will be shipped to" Charleston
for this public drinking fountain daily
during the Exposition.
The management of the telephone
exchange wishes all subscribers and
others to know that they are required
to call for connections by numbers
and not by name. The operators in
"central" can't remember ali the
numbers on the exchange list, espe?
cially since so many new on?s are be?
ing added daily. When you call for a
connection, you will hear the operator
call "number" and you had better be
ready to yell it out or vou may get
left.
The first exhibit from this county
for the Charleston Exposition was
brought in yesterday to the depot in
the Masonic Temple. It consists of a
number of specimens of iron on; from
the plantation of Col. W. D. Scar?
borough, near Dalzell. Few people,
no doubt, ever knew then; was iron
ore in Sumter county, j?ome of the
specimens are quiet large and heavy.
Other exhibits are expected to arrive
during the next few days.

To the Farmers, Manufacturers and
Others of Sumter County
Who are Interested in Making a Credita?
ble Exhibit at the Charleston and W.
i. Exposition.
From information from the manage?
ment at Charleston, it is reported
that all exhibits should be in position
for the opening on December 1st, and
I request all persons interested to
promptly have their exhibits delivered
without delay, as I wish to have them
all ready for shipment by the 20th of
the month. A. W. Suder,
Commissioner.
A fine bull belonging to Dr. Archie
China was killed at the depot Saturday
morning by a train. Dr. China had
bought the bell in Columbia fair
week. The bull was shipped in a box
car, as a regula:: cattle car could not
be obtained at the time. There was a
small window in one end of the car
which was left open. When the car
the bull was in was detached from
the train and svritched off to the cat?
tle pen at the depot, the bull attempt?
ed to jump through the window and
fell on the track and was killed by the
wheels of the car. It is rather an
unusual case of killing by a train.
Mr. Chas. O' Brien, of Troy, N. Y.,
has arrived in the city and will act as
manager of the Hotel Sumter Steam
Laundry. Mr. O'Brien comes highly
recommended and is the best man for
the place that tie management of the
laundry could have employed to look
after their interests. The laundry un?
der the new manager - will do all
work in the most up-to-date style, and
they ask a large share of the patron?
age of ;?the people of Sumter. This is
an enterprise needed here and our cit?
izens should give it all the support
they can. See their ad. in another
column.
"Down in Di cie" is a beautiful war
drama depicting- scenes in the South
during the Civil War. It contains a
story of love between a Northern offi?
cer and a Southern maiden. It - is
written without prejudice to either of
the opposing sections. It will be
given at the Opera House by the stu?
dents of the Scmter Military Acad- ;
.erny, on Thursday night, ? Nov. 14.
The characters selected for the various
roles are all strong ones and every?
body should see the play. There .will
be other features of the evening, also,
to be announced later.
To the Public.
Allow me to say a few words in praise of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I had a
very severe congh and cold and feared I
would get pneumonia, but after taking the
second dose of this medicine I felt better,
three bottles of it cured my cold and the
pains in my chest disappeared entirely. I
am most respectfully yours for health,
Ralph S Meyers, 64 Thirty-seventy St.
Wheeling, W Va. For sale by Dr A J
China.
A few nights ago someone threw
brick-bats into the piazza of the Sum?
ter Military Academy. Friday night
i the supposed offender was .caught He
I is a colored boy and was captured by
j several students near the Academy.
He was given a hearing before the
Mayor Saturday. Another colored
youth was arrested Saturday, charged
with the throwing of bricks into the
S.. M. A. piazza. He and the other
miscreant were turned over to Magis?
trate Wells' court.
The two negroes, who were charged
with throwing bricks at the Sumter
Military Academy, were given a hear?
ing in Magistrate - Wells' court and
sent up to the court of General Ses?
sions on the charge of conspiracy, j
From all the evidence obtained, it j
appeared to be a clear case of con- j
spiracy. ^

Darlington Depot Burned.
The Atlantic Coast Line freight de?
pot at Darlington was burned Wednes?
day night. Th'3 depot was filled with
freight and the loss was quite large.
The origin of the fire has not been de?
termined, but is thought to have been
accidental. The depot was a new
building, narring been erected only a
few months ago to replace the old de?
pot which was also burned.
