The plans to organize a first class amateur base ball team are progressing nicely. The first tobacco from this year's crop was sold at the Manning ware? house last week. There seems to be little prospect of a firemen's tournament being held in this State this summer. Up to today the rain that has fallen in this city during the month of June amounted to 14.30 inches as measur? ed by the local weather observer. The hail storm Friday, of which this city got part, did considerable damage to crops in parts of Privateer township. A first class pottery would be a good thing to have in Sumter and if the right man comes here to establish one he can get all the encouragement needed. Street Superintendent White is mak? ing more rapid progress with the macadam worl? on Liberty street than has ever been made before on similar work undertaken by the city or by contractors. If the present rate of progress continues this will be the cheapest macadam the city has had put down. .* If Policeman Pierson had not been cool headed and forbearing during the row on Ricker street last week there would have been several negro funerals in Sumter. He cannot be too highly commended for his course for he would have been justified by the circumstances in shooting into the mob that assaulted him. It will be regret? ted if it takes a severe.lesson to teach the negroes that they must submit quietly to arrest when an officer pre? sents an arrest warrant. ?HOBOniaBBBMBBBBBaHaBnHaaM g > l l O IF ir E R, S A GRAND FREE TRIP TO THE ST.
