In the Zoar neighborhood, about five miles from Sumter, a sad and horrible accident occurred Wednesday after nooi Mrb W. H. Brown was engaged in cutt*"; down a small tree; her little dauguter, about 5 years of age, was playing in tbe near vicinity, and the tree falling unexpectedly pinioned her tender body to the ground. Medical aid was summoned at once, and on ex? amination, the child was found to be dangerously hurt, and suffering from severe internal injuries. The little girl lived until about 9 o'clock Wednesday night, at which time the Angle of Death visited her, and her grief stricken parents are left desolate. They have the heartfelt sympathy not only of their friends and neigh? bors but of all who have heard of their bereavement. Manning News Notes. Mr. I. C. Strauss of the Sumter Bar spent Monday in Manning on pro? fessional business. . The railroad depot at this place was entered last night, and burglars suc? ceeded in damaging the safe and steal? ing 40 cents in pennies. There is in contemplation the build? ing of an electric railroad from Wright's Bluff to ISt. Paul, through Summerton to Manning. The projec? tors of this scheme believe such a road will add greatly to the development of the section through which it will go, and afford freight competition with the Coast Line.

The Key that Unlocks the Door to Long Living. The men of eighty five and ninety years of age are not the J otund well fed, but thin, fpare men who live ou a slender diet. Bs as careful as he will, however, a man past middle age, will occasionally eat too much or of some article of food not suited to hi* constitution, and will need a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to cleanse and invigorate his stomach ana regulate his liver and bowels. When this is done there is no rea? son why the average man should not live to old age. For sale by all druggists. THE SUMTER SAVINGS BUI. HORACE HARBY, President. I. C. STRAUSS, vice-President. GEO.

A Business Organization of Business Men for the Good of Sumter. Mr. J. C. Huger aud Dr. W. L. Mc Cutchen called on a number of busi? ness men Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of enlisting their interest and securing their cooperation in the oranization of the Commercial Club of Sumter. ^awf'^ The proposed Club is to be primarily a business organization, whose object shall be the promotion of the commer? cial and industrial development of this city; but it is expected to main? tain a well appointed and comfortable club house, where ifs members may meet for business or social purposes and where visitors may be entertain? ed. The membership at the outset will be limited to one hundred, probably, although that is a point for discussion and settlement when the club comes to be formally organized. Messrs. Huger and McCutcben found that the proposition was receiv? ed with general favor, and within a few hours they secured more than half the proposed one hundred members. Practically all of those called on ex? pressed their heart? approval of the plan to organize the business men and bring them together to work for Sumter. They realize that organized effort is required to secure the best results for the city and to carry it for? ward m the march of progress, and they were prompt to give their appro? val to a movement that promises to attain the desired results. j it is a part of the plan of employ a competent man as secretary of the club ? who will give his entire time to work? ing for the city, answering all in ! quiries from prospective investors and devising ways and means to induce ! industrial enterprises to locate here. It may be accepted as a fact that the Commercial Club will be established in tbe near future, for it bas met with too hearty a reception from the most substantial and public spirited citi? zens for it to fail.

As there will likely be a quantity of cotton held over until the Spring, I would suggest again that if the same is stored out of doors that the cotton be placed on bricks, say place down on the ground four to six bricks and upon these carefully lay the bale length ways. The altitude of the brick would giv? sufficient space for the rain to pass through and also to admit the sunshine. The bricks not holding moisture leave no rotted sur? face where they touch theflbales which the present system of skids invariably rots the cotton just where the wood touches tlie bale. FF.
