They have a big stock and will make the prices right. The Second Regiment arrived at the Isle of Palms on time Monday and the soldier boys had their first taste of camp duty and camp life that night The cotton future market declined again Monday. The price closed 10 to 20 points lower than the opening quotations. The article in this paper from Joel E. Bronson, on the subject of the Baptist Church graveyard, will be found interesting not only to the Bap? tist brethren, but to the general read? er, on account of the historical facts touched upon, and the peculiar style adopted. The city of Sumter has a complete plan for a modern sewerage system and it was secured cheap, considering the amount of work it involved. But the question is, after all, what is to be done with the plan? Are the tax payers prepared to bond the town for ?65,000 and build the sewerage sys? tem? The reorganization of the Cotton Compress Co. is not progressing as smoothly . and satisfactorily as has been reported, and it is feared that the plan proposed by the committee may not be carried out It will be a severe blow to Sumter as a cotton mar? ket, if the compress is permitted to be sold out and moved away. Judge Wells' court is getting a re? putation as a scrapping ground. A short time ago two lawyers from a neighboring county, who were here to try a case, had an argument of so heat? ed a nature that they very nearly came?, to blows ; and last week two members of the local bar got together and for a few moments were going for each other in hammer and tongs style. Those present say it was a great ex? hibition of unscientific pugilism. When a man gets on an ordinary drunk and has to be taken care of by the police he might consider himself fortunate in getting excused on pay? ment of $2 ; but when two men come into town from elsewhere, get drunk with blind tiger whiskey on Sunday and lie down together in the gutter like hogs, making of themselves a dis? gusting spectacle before church-going citizens until they are taken up and carried off by the city 'guardians the amount of the fine should be larg? er in proportion to day and circum? stances of the offence. Sumter is to have another wholesale grocery and brokerage firm in the near future. Mr. W. B. Bowman, until re? cently a member of the firm of Harby & Co., is organizing a stock company to engage in the wholesale grocery business, and as the capital stock of 850,000 has been over-subscribed the enterprise is already a certainty. All that remains to be done is to complete the details of the organization and begin business. ! MR. S. DWIGHT CAIN ELECTED. To Be the Superintendent of Education of Sumter County. The State Board of Education met last night and elected Mr. S. Dwight Cain to be county superintendent of education of Sumter to succeed Mr. Brainerd D. Wilson who has been giv? en an appointment under civil service. There were other applicants who were urged upon the board by representa? tive citizens but Mr. Cain was selected because he is now actively engaged in teaching. There was no appropriation for the expenses of the board, but all of the members were present, Gov. Hey ward, Supt. Martin, Profs. Archer, Banks, Cook, Holloway, Knight and McCain, Hon. W. A. Brown.-The State, July 24. The denizens of Bicker Lane, an offshoot of North Main street, engaged in a hot weather row Monday that disturbed the peace and quiet of the community so greatly that complaint was made to the police. In conse? quence the Mayor's court was largely attended yesterday by nergo women dressed in Sunday clothes. Rapid progress is being made with the extension of the water main on Broad street. It is feared that the ex? cavation for the main will do great injury to the clay roadway and that it will be impossible to restore it to as good condition when the work of put? ting down the main shall have been completed. * Stateburg had the heaviest rainfall 'during the month of June of any place in the State where a record is kept by a regular weather observer. The total rainfall for the month was 18.42 inches. This city had the third heavi? est rainfall, the total being 14.33. Sumter, Orangeburg, parts of Claren? don, Richland, Kershaw, Fairfield, Darlington, Lancaster, Chester and Chesterfield all had an excessive rain? fall during June, the average exceed? ing 10 inches. The rainfall through? out the State, except in a small por? tion of Abbeville county, was above the normal. A very pleasant entertainment was given last Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Harvin at their home near Ramsey in hon? or of Misses Lil Harvin and Hat? tie Bagnal of Manning. In addi? tion to the usual entertainments, music, refreshments, etc., each couple were given paper and pencil and in a limited time were required to answer eighteen questions suggested by a watch. The prize a : beautiful silk watch case, was won by Mr. Ashley Bradford, and was delivered by Chas. L. Cuttino. The booby prize a, dumb watch, was then delivered to Chas. L. Cuttino, Esq., by Dr. R. B. Furman, who introduced his remarks with the words: "I have the honor to deliver this prize to an honest lawyer. The absurdity of the thing has caused its hands to stand still, over its face, and it is doubtful that while in your possession it will ever cease to be dumb."

I must write a few words about that glorious reunion. I was so glad to meet some of my old com? rades once more, and also to meet the young soldiers of Co. B, and the veter? ans of other commands, also the gentle? men who were boys when the war be? gan. Yes, it did my old heart good. The gathering of the remnant of Co. D, and soldiers of Co. B, and the in? vited guests, made the occasion a most pleasant one. I can heartily say it was good to be there, and to meet with those, who shared with ns the duties and privations of a Confederate soldier. Oh ! what a bountiful dinner that was prepared for us. I shall not forget those good and kind ladies, whose nimble hands prepared those elegant combinations of good things for us-may God bless them. A kind word for that prince of barbecuers, maj he barbecue again. The roll of Co. D was called-no answer from eighty-three dead soldiers. Where are they? Echo answers where ! In Val? halla, beyond the grave, where the spirits of dead soldiers- assemble. They will answer there. And now my old comrades, soldiers of Co. B sur? vivors of other commands and the in? vited guests, I say, vale, vale ; may God be with you, and may we meet again. Old Rock. Manning, S. C., July 27. When the macadam work now under? way, and projected on Main street, has been completed a halt should be called until the sewerage matter has been settled. The excavation for the sewer? age pipes will leave the macadam pave? ments in such a bad condition that to repair the streets will cost almost as much as to put down new macadam.
