Sunday night, wn?le Mr. Bradwell was at Church, his bicycle and gnn repair shop was broken open, and ? three pistols were stolen. The thief j was evidently very familiar with the interior ,of the shop, for he went i directly to the secret draw in which ^ir. Bradwell keeps pistols that are Drocght to him for repair, and took away the three that he found there. Mr. Bradwell is almost certain that he can put his finger on the thief, and he expects to swear out a warrant for his arrest at once. Revival at First Baptist Church. We clip the following from the Johnstown, (Pa.) Democrat: Ebensburg, Feb. 21.-Revival ser? vices were begun in the Ebensburg Presbyterian church Sunday evening and the attendance was a record breaker. The Rev. Dr. Wharton, a notad evangelist, conducted the meet? ing and his ability as a speaker and his winning personality captivated everybody who heard . him. Last I night services were again conducted j in the Presbyterian church and the attendance was even larger than on the preceding occasion and it became j evident that a larger place of worship wo aid have to be selected in order to accommodate the overwhelming at? tendance. Consequently the Congre? gational church, the largest house of j worship in the county seat, was sel? ected as the place for holding tonigt's meeting. The church was crowded to its doors and passage ways and the evident interest taken in the revival at sue h [an early stage cause its promo? ters to feel that the meetings will be profitable. , All the churches have taken a deep int?r?ts in arranging for the meetings and are now doing their utmost to make them successful. Dr. Wharton will begin a meeting with the First Baptist Church of this place, on March 29th. He was Mr. Moody's right band man in all the great Chicago meetings, and is very magnetic as a speaker and charming as a singer. The fire this morning was at the residence of Z. E. Walker, but did li ttle damage. Mr. L. W. Folsom, the popular Jeweler, recently presented the Jew? ish congregation with a very hand? some clock for the Synagogue, lt has been placed in the bnilding. At a meeting of the gentlemen of the congregation last Sunday, Rabbi Jacob Klein was reelected for an in? definite time. The machinery of the Darlington Steam Lanndry recently purchased by 2dessrs., W. E. Brunson and D. D. i Moise has arrived and the Sumter Steam Laundry will be in operation ina short time. The urgent need of a sewerage sys? tem crops out in all sorts of unexpect? ed places. For instance note the ap? plication of the Sumter Shearn Laun dry Co. for permission to discharge the waste water from the laundry into one of the city drains. Note," also, ishe refusal of the city council to grant :he petition and the satisfactory rea? sons fer the refusal, r We learn from the health officer that there are two cases of smallpox j in Epperson row opposite county jail. ? The two cases are in one room and ! quarantine and wholesale vaccination has been applied in that vicinity so that an epiemic is not possiblle. This may be of interest to families whose washing is done in this section. ! It is uncsnal for cotton ginneries to be in operatin at this season of the year, but the Farmer's Gin has been as busy recently as if it were the height of the cotton season. For the past week there have been numbers of cotton laden wagons waiting their turu at the gin every aay and the eud of the ginning season is not yet in sight. Mr. Edmunds, superintendant of the city schools, has received from the president of ?Vashintgon and Lee Uni? versity the announcement of the award of a scholarship in that insti? tution. The scholarship is worth $50 and exempts its holder from payment of tnitiou fees in the academic and engineering departments of the Uni? versity. Dr. Denny the president of the University says in making the award:-"It is understood that the scholarship will be awarded to one of the best of your most advanced stu dents prepared to enter the Univer? sity.' ' The Sumter Commercial and Real Estate Co., which is composed of col? ored people, has completed its organi? zation by the election of the following officers: Z E. Walker, president, C. C. Jacobs secretary; Alston West berry, treasurer. This company has purchased from the estate of Mrs. O. H. Moses, the property on the corner of N. Main and Bampton avenue for $15,250. This property-rill| be im? proved and a block of first class busi? ness houses erected io the near fu? ture. A SERIAL STORY. In the issue of March 8th we shall begin the publication of "The Wings of the Morning" an intensely interest? ing and dramatic serial. It is a story of love and adventucre and it is told with the artistic force that can be done only by an adept in literary handicraft. This story alone if pur? chased, in book form costs just what a year's subscription to the Watchman and Sonthron does SI.50. The Wings of the Morning is the first of several that will be published during the year. Work on the machine shops and foundry of the Sumter Machinery Co. will begin within the next week or two, the weather permitting. The lumber is being hauled and a large part of it is already on the lot. It is expected that the plant will be in operation abont the middle of April or first of May. Mr. H. J. Herby has decided to erect a large office building in the rear of the office of Harby & Co., to front on the Court House square. This building will be built of brick and stone and will be fitted np with all modern conveniences-water, light and heat. Work will begin in the near fnture and it is expected that the building will be completed by early fall. It was reported on the street about 4 o'clock today that the Pocotalego trestle on the C. S. & N railroad was on fire. An in? quiry at the A. C. L. depot elicit? ed the response that the report was not true-that the train had just gone down onthat road. John Windham, the porter of the Sumter and Gibson passen? ger train, w?s painfully hurt this morning by being hit on the head by a billet of cord wood while assisting in throwing wood on the tender. He was ren? dered unconscious for a time, but his injuries were not serious. In the Recorder's Court For the second time Major Thompson was before Recorder Hurst Tuesday morning charged with dsorderly conduct and dis? turbing the peace. The case to? day was almost identical in ev? ery respect to the previous one, and consequently the fine was doubled, because tre recorder had warned* him against a repe? tition of the offense charged. This time, Thompson will either pay a fine of $10.00 or serve on the county chain gang for 20 days. Haily Market Ueport. Special by Ware & Leland's Private Wire. NEW YORK COTTON.

Some never learn it at all and end their lives and their happiness through the neglect. As it consumes much of our time and must always do so it is a duty to make it an ade? quate source of pleasure. It is some? thing which all may appreciate, and so has much to do with democratizing pleasure. As long as pleasure is con? fined to the higher-to music, litera? ture or contemplation-it' must be lim? ited and be the privilege of a few who can have the required culture. It is important to secure enjoyments which all men may have and not depreciate the capacity of the poor or low. That there may he much happiness it must be in the many, and these can have only a simple happiness. The good things of life must be found in the common acts in the elementary things which are necessary to life itself or which every one will occasionally have. To disparage "physical" enjoy? ments- though all enjoyments arc such -is to try to limit enjoyment to the rich or t:>e educated.-Boston Cooking School Magazt-^i. YOUNG MAN GONE WRONG. Warrant issued for the Arrest of P. R. Felder. Book Keeper of Sizer Lum? ber Co.-Charged With Lar? ceny. Monday afternoon Mr. John H. Sizer, of the Sizer Lamber Co., went before Magistrate Harby and procured the issuance of a warrant for the ar? rest of P. R. Felder, on affidavit charging him with larceny in that he took, stole and carried away the sum of $325 belonging to the Sizer Lumber Co. The young man for wt om the war? rant was issued is well known in this city where he has residec for several years. He was the bookkeeper for the Sizer Lamber Co., and had the confidence of his employers to such an extent that he had charge of the moneys of firm, made np the payroll received money due the company and drew money from the bank as needed for the conduct of the bcsiness. Some days ago he told some of bis friends that he was going to Colorado and others that he was going to Ari? zona and still others that he was going to Cuba. Mr. Sizer in checking up the bank book and comparing it with the stubs in the check book discovered a discrepancy of $120 and called Mr. Felder's attention to it. He admitted the discrepancy and paid over to Mr. Sizer that amount. Mr. Felder -left here Sunday night on the 9 30 train for Columbia, and his present where? abouts are not knowu. Yesterday Mr. Sizer continued his investigations and in a short time dis? covered an additional shortage of $325. Then he decided to have a war? rant issued and to make a determined effort to bring abont the arrest of Fel? der. It is surmised bnt not known I with any degree of certainty that Felder went direct to Florida Snnday night, and by this time may be in Cuba. It is reported but not confirm? ed that he had a ticket to Cuba in his possession when he left the city. His method of misappropriating his employer's funds was simple but effec? tive. When he would make out the payroll, of which he had full charge, he would fill out a check for an amount greater than the payroll and put the difference in bis own pocket. To keep the cash book straight he j would enter on the stub of the check book the correct amount of the pay- j roll. Then to make bis balance at the bank tally with the footing of the check book stubs, he would, in bring? ing down the additions on the stubs, add in the amounts appropriated to his own use. A comparison of the check with the corresponding stubs, when made, immediately revealed the discrepancies. The books have not yet been thoroughly checked up and it is possi? ble that the shortage may exceed the amount charged ic the warrant The young mau had many friends in the city and his downfall is'not only a shock to them all but causes keen regret. . THE NEW RAILROAD. The Enterprise Takes On New Life , Bishopville Extends a Helping Hand. Mr. W. H. Ingram, wbo has just re? turned from a visit to Bishopville, where he went at the invitation of the citizens and city officials of that town for the purpose of conferring with them in reference to the Sumter & Northern Railroad, stated today that he had a pleasant and satisfac? tory interview and that the outlook for the sn cc es s of tho enterprise is now brighter than it has been for some time. At the conference and in personal interviews with the town officers, pro? perty owners whose lands the road i will traverse and citizens generally the most cordial interest was express? ed in the new railroad and he was con? vinced that the enterprise will be ac corded liberal treatment. The town as a corporation is dis- ; posed to grant the railroad a liberal cash bonus to be expended for termi? nals and to do what ever is possible to make the acquisition of a right of way through the town easy of accom? plishment. A committee of citizens of Bishopville and vicinity will tske up the matter of securing the right of way for the road from the point, where the obstacles that caused the calling in of the surveyors, were en? countered, to 3nd through the town of Bishopville. Mr. Ingram is satisned that the present attitude of the people of the Bishopville section insures that the rights of way will be obtained on terms that will make it possible for the road to be carried through to suc? cess. As soon as the right of way matter shall have been settled satis? factorily the surveyors will take up the work of locating the permaneut line at the point where they left off. Mr. Ingram is naturally very much encouraged over the outcome of his conference with the citizens of Bish? opville. He feels that the success of the enterprise in which be is so thoroughly interested and which means so much to Sumter and Bishop? ville and this section of the state as a whole is almost assured. Of Interest to Knights of Agriculture. There is a clause in the certificate of the Knights of Agriculture that is apt to be misleading though it is not so intended by the contractors. In the total disability or death benefit the certificate only provides five per cent of the face of the pollicy for each year that the same has been in force. In other words if insured carries one thousand dollars and becomes totally disabled or dies at the end of two years, he or 1 is beneficiaries only receive $100. The writer knows that there are some unscrupulous agents ol this con? cern that purposely allow this clause to be over looked making the induce? ments appear more attractive than they reallly are. This warning is given against any probable misrepre? sentation or oversight and bas nothing to say against the concern. On the contrary the protection it gives is a good one and especially for young un? married men. Smithville, Feb. 25. tl. When Lee Resigned. In "Recollections and Letters of Gen? eral Lee." by his son. Captain Ii. E. Lee, a new light is thrown on the great commander at the time of his resigna? tion from the United States army. In a letter to his sister he says: "With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I have therefore resigned my commission in the army, and. save in defense of my native state, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed, I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword. I know you will blame me, but you must think as kindly of me as you can and believe that I have endeavored to do what I thought right." That he really did not expect to fight is shown by the following extract from a letter to his wife: "I do not know what my. position will be. I should like to retire to private life if I could be with you and the children, but if I can be of any service to the state or her cause I must continue." Circumstantial Evidence. Sir Henry Hawkins, a brilliant advo? cate and one of England's greatest criminal judges, expressed the follow? ing opinion in his ''Reminiscences." "Let me say a word about circum? stantial evidence. Some writers have spoken of it as a kind of 'dangerous innovation' in our criminal procedure. It is almost the only evidence that is obtainable in all great crimes and it is the best and most reliable. I have wit? nessed many great trials for murder, but do not remember one where there was an eyewitness to the deed. How is it possible, then, to bring home the charge to the culprit unless you rely on circumstantial evidence? "Circumstantial evidence is the evi? dence of circumstances-facts that speak for themselves and that cannot be contradicted. Circumstances have no motive to deceive, while human tes? timony is too often the product of ev? ery kind of motive." Fish That Chance Color. Anglers have noticed that fish of the same species caught in the same stream often differ completely in color and take protective hues that match the prevailing local coloring of their homes. Herr Otto Gotthilf found by a. course of experiments with turbots that this faculty of changing color in accordance with the surroundings is primarily due to the action of light upon the optic nerve. The light does not act directly upon the eye, but is re? flected from such substances as are around and affects the coloring cells through the nerve centers of the fish. Proof of this was obtained by severing the optic nerve of the turbot, when it was found that it no longer possessed the power of changing color.-Pear? son's. The Misase of "Quite." "Quite" strictly means "completely" and is rightly used in such sentences as "The/flower is quite faded." Its secondary meaning, "very," "to a great extent," has the authority of good writ? ers, though such expressions as "quite young" and "quite hot" have a collo? quial ring about them. There is, how? ever, springing up of late the slovenly practice of employing the adverb "quite" with a noun-e. g., "quite a. panic ensued." If an adverb can mod? ify a noun, where is the distinction be? tween adverb and adjective? As a matter of fact, the functions of the ad? verb seem to be encroaching on those of the adjective.-London Review. Spain's Orange Groves. The Spanish orange region extends over eastern and southern Catalonia, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, Malaga and Seville, and in parts of Valencia and Murcia the trees now grow in forests, the soil of the famous Valencian "huer? ta," lavishly manured with guano, be? ing the richest in Europe. Here a sin? gle full grown tree will yield 1,500 and at times as many as l,SO0 oranges in a season, fruit bearing beginning when the trees reach their sixth year and in? creasing until they are twenty, when degeneration usually sets in. J Do Your Share. A little thought will show you how vastly your own happiness depends on the wa}' other people bear themselves toward you. Turn the idea around and remember that just so much are you adding to the pleasure or the misery of other people's days. And this is the half of the matter which you can con? trol.-George S. Merriam. Disquieting Suspicion. "Do you enjoy your wife's teas and receptions?" "No," answered Mr. Cumrox. "to be candid. I do not. I can't help harbor? ing a suspicion that if I didn't happen to be her husband Mrs. Cumrox wouldn't consider me of sufficient so? cial consequence to be invited."-Wash? ington Star. Tact.

Expected. Landlady-The coffee. I am sorry to say, is exhausted. Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith-Ah, yes. poor thing, I was ex? pecting that. I've noticed that for some time it hasn't been strong.

Mr. Cashbag-Oh, yes, you can. Work never killed anybody yet. WRECK AT JUNCTION. North Western Special Runs Into Atlantic Coast Line Freight No. 85 at Junc? tion Near Cotton Miii. Monday night about IO o'clock there was a serious acci? dent at the junction of the Northwestern railroad with the Atlantic Coast Line near the Sumter Cotton Mill. Fortunately, however, there was no loss of life and none of the crew of either train were in? jured. The accident occurred just as A. C. L. freight train No. 85 was pulling out of the yards for Co? lumbia and an extra on the Northwestern was coming in from Camden. The engineer of the Northwestern train com? ing around the curve did not see the A. C. L. freight and his en? gine struck the freight as it was passing the junction point. Three "ox cars loaded with cot? ton seed were knocked from the track and two of them almost completely demolished. The trucks from one of the derailed cars were thorwn up in the air and landed in the cab of the Northwestern engine, narrowly missing Engineer Lide. The en? gine of the Northwestern train was only slightly damaged by the collision. The wrrecking train has been at work all the morning remov? ing the debris, but the track was not blocked long enough to pre? vent the regular morning trains going out on schedule time. LEVY VS TELEPHONE COMPANY. Suit to Recover Damages to be Heard in Magistrate's Court. The above style cause will come for trial before Magistrate Harby at 3 : SO o'clock this after? noon. The plaintiff, Mr. J. H.\Levy, is suing the Sumter Telephone Company for damages sustained by him, caused by the falling of a pole, alleged to be the property of the defendant, upon his buggy. The occupants of the vehicle had a very narrow es? cape, the shafts were broken and the horse became so entangled in the wires that it became neces? sary to cut the harness so that it was afterwards unfit for use, in order to extricate the excited animal. The trial will be by jury in the office of the magistrate, 18 Court Square. The accident out of which th? suit grows occurred on the night of the trades display parade dur? ing the Fall Festival week.

Startling, But True. ?People the world over were horri? fied on learning of the burning of a Chicago theatre in which nearly six hundred peopie lost their lives, yet moree than three thousand peo? ple died from pneumonia in Chicago during the same year. Every one scarcely a passing noticce. Every one of these cases of pneumonia resulted from a cold and could have been pre? vented by teh timely use cf Cham? berlain's Cough Remedy. A great many who had e\*ery reason to fear pneu? monia have warded it off by the prompt use of this remedy. The follow? ing is an instance of this sort: "Too much cannot be said of Cham? berlain's Cough Remedy, and especial? ly for colds and influenza.
