For a large and select stock of shoes one cannot do better than to call on O'Donnell & Co., who sell shoes at prices that place good footwear within the reach,of alL There is some talk of the organiza? tion of a strong company to build a large and handsomely equipped tourist hotel and to develop Sumter as a win? ter resort. The plans are still in a somewhat nebulous state, but there is more in the matter than mer? talk. Schwartz Bros. has a special blanket advertisement today. They make a specialty of all wool North Carolina blankets and are now offering the well known brands "Dixie" and "Tar HeeL" The outlook for the State Fair is said to be brighter now than it has ever been in former years. The xe hibits already entered are more numer? ous than ever before in the his tory of the association and the program of outside amusements and entertain? ments Taried. Already the pot hunters, the un? sportsmanlike sportsmen, are beating the fields and with dog and gun are hunting down the half-grown part? ridges. It is a violation of the law to shoot partridges at this season and if the pot hunters are not more careful in their observance of the game law, some of them will be brought into court. The City Council made a start in the right direction when a committee was appointed at the last meeting to collect data in support of the claim that this city is entitMd to a PostofEce building and to put the facts in proper shape to be used by our representa? tives in Congress when a bill is in? troduced carrying an appropriation for the erection of the building. There is a good deal to be done and it is to be hoped that the committee will re? ceive the proper assistance from all public spirited citizens. ^Alderman Brown and Supt. of Streets Lucas, of Florence spent a part of Friday in this city inspect? ing the macadam pavements and the street improvements now in process of construction. They also obtained data in reference to the cost of the work, the process of construction and the sources of supply from which Sumter lias obtained the crushed rock for macadam work. The Florence City Council has under consideration a plan for beginning extensive street im? provements and as soil conditions in Florence are somewhat similar to those existing here they were desirous of learning how Sumter had succeeded in building good streets in spite of un? favorable natural conditions. BRIDGE COLLAPSED. Fell 100 Feet to Death-Horrible Accident on a Bridge Over the Monongahela. Pittsburg, Pa. Oct. 19.-By the breaking of the ropes, carrying five beams to their position, letting the tons of iron fall upon the movable cranes, at the Pittsburg end of the new Wabash bridge being built by the American Bridge Company, over the Monongahela River, almost a dozen workmen were hurled to death by a fall of more than a hundred feet, strik? ing the water and two barges beneath. Ten of the dead have been recovered. Five are seriously injured. Several bodies are yet pinioned under the wrecked barge. The part of the bridge exteftdng out over the river from the Water street side is a total wreck. Former Governor Peter Turney, of Tennessee, c'ied Monday. Tiie yellow fever epidemic is grow? ing worse in Laredo, Texas. There were thirty new cases Monday, a*id five deaths. _ THE TELEPHONE LITIGATION. A hearing in the case of Peter E. Blow vs. The Telephone Manufactur? ing Co., application for the appoint? ment of a receiver for the said corpor? ation, was held before Judge E. 0. Purdy at Chambers on Saturday. Mr. Blow was reuresented by John J. Mc Mahan of Lyles & McMaban, and Raynesworth & Haynesworth, and Lee & Moise represented Mr. C. T. Mason. Judge Purdy has not filed his decis? ion, but it is stated on excellent au? thority that a temporary receiver will be appointed to take charge of the affairs of the company. The name of the temporary receiver bas not been made public and so far as can be as? certained no selection has yet been made. The course that the litigation is now taking seems to indicate that the business of the Telephone Mfg. Co. will be wound up by a reciever, and that the factory may be closed as a re? sult of the contention among the stockholders. It is to be regretted that this condition of affairs exist, for prior to the beginning of the disagreement among the stockholders the company was one of the most successfuul enter? prises in the south, and had a large and rapidly growing business. The commission appointed under resolution of the last General Assem? bly to make a thorough investigation of the tax question of the State and to report, with recommendations to the next session, held a meeting in this city last Wednesday night.

A telephone message from Manning on last Wednesday gave the news of the most destructive-fire that has oc? curred in that town in several years." The large store building occupied by : W. E. Jenkinson and practically all of [ the large stock of goods it contained, ' and the store building and stock of the Manning Grocery Co., were de : stroyed. The fire originated in the old part of the Jenkinson store under a sky light and when the fire was discovered about 4 o'clock that morning a large part of the interior of the building was burning fiercely. Every effort possible was made to save a portion of the stock of goods, but it was impos? sible to save much. The fire spread from the Jenkinson store to that of the Manning Grocery Co., and this build was soon destroyed also. The loss was ; quite large, about $10,000; the amount I of insurance is stated at $25,000. :h it Shall Be. th here. We lay them Tou Choose." We are C. All-Wool Blankets. C.
