Remhert, whose good wife Sold ns that she had about four hun jdrecL chickens. At this remark it seemed en exaggeration until you got .?at among them, in swarms and of all .sizes.

D's. Devil Dodgers. A tramping around those days anything to shun the Devil, jf Work seems to be a big Devil with some people these daya j SMITHVILLE. Smithville, April 8.-Many of our [armers are planting cotton. They do 3 aot seem to think that the cool spell f >f the past few days amounts to much c tor they are not holding up at all. The smallpox has visited one fam- j3 ly here. It is a very mild form. One j0 >f the cases had to be turned in a sheet on last Saturday, but on the fol owing Wednesday was in the field plowing. The rest of the family had t even lighter than that. We are rlad to say that the family is out of langer and that no other cases are re? ported. It created a little excitement ind caused a few vaccinations. On yesterday week the old Reynolds louse was destroyed by fire. It be onged to Dr. Spann, of Sumter, and vas occupied by Dennis McLeod, col >red, who was fortunate enough to save nearly'all of his personal prop ?rty. The stables were saved with lome dimculty. With the burning of ;his building passes another of the >ld landmarks dating back almost to colonial times. Time was when the >ld Reynolds place was pointed out vith pride as belonging to one of the eading families of our county. Wealth md beauty were once its adornments, mt in later years it was allowed to go o ruin. When pride and ambition ?eased, then decay set in. The broad lelds were divided up and there re nained only the hui of a house sur? rounded by only a few of the many icres that belonged to the once splen? did estate. The family pride and rr ea tn ess that once existed is now on y tradition. Like old veterans, these fine country estates are ..going.j?.ne by one. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Booth, Mra W. S Smith and Mrs. C. L. Kirkley, at? tended Presbytery yesterday at Hep zibah church at Mannvilie. SALEM. Salem, April S.-This section was visited by a hail storm on Wednes? day evening last. The pellets were small and no damage done except the up-rooting- of a few trees by the wind. The extent of the hail seems to have been about four miles wide, extend? ing in a northeasterly direction. Miss Lessie Witherspon, of York ville, S. C., is visiting relatives here. Rev. W. J. McKay is back from his trip to Hepzibah, where he attended a meeting of Harmony Presbytery. Very few, if any, attended the Cot? ton Growers' meeting in your city on last Monoday from this section. Little stock seems to be taken in the reduction scheme. On the other hand some contend the acreage will be increased 10 per cent., which we are inclined to think is most likely the state of affairs. ' "We were hurled from the bosom of winter into the lap of spring very sud? denly about three weeks ago. But the past few days sent us back again into winter quarters. Frost on Friday morning, but no damage noticed. Considerable cotton has been plant? ed, while some are still planting corn and will be unable to plant cotton be? fore 15th to 20th instant. Our last seems to have been con? signed to the waste basket, where possibly it justly belonged. If this meets with the same fate we will write again. * TIXDAL. Tindal, April 10.-The farmers in this section are progressing nicely. Some are planting cotton, while others ire still planting corn.

Colclough and Richardson banders spent last Sabbath with their >arents. We are glad to report that flour shing Sabbath school has been organ? ised at Horeb church and we have easons to believe that there will be L great interest taken in the work. REMBERTS. Rembert, April 10.-The health of ?ur neighborhood has greatly im? proved. The grippe has about abated .nd farm work is progressing rapidly. There are two men canvassing this immunity selling watches to the ne nroes on time payable this fall at $15, aking chattel mortgages on their ?ouseho?d effects. I am sure the catches can be purchased in Sumter rom $2 to $3. This is an imposition >n the poor darkies and I fear much rouble when the time comes to collect heir pay and hope some action will >e taken to stop their oeprations. We had quite a rain storm last week md light hail followed by a slight rost, but it did no damage to gardens >r early planted corn that is now up. Rev. C. S. Felder filled his regular .ppointment here at McLeod's chapel n yesterday and your correspondent lad the. pleasure of entertaining him nd his charming bride. Mrs. J. P. Phillips and Mrs. S.

Lynchburg, April 10.-This section ras visited by a very heavy rain, ail and wind storm yesterday-some ay it was the heavitst hail storm they ver saw. There will be but very little done n the farm this week in this imme late section. Corn is coming- np and some cotton lanted in this community. Mr. W. B. Galloway has cojttori up. The-smallpox;scare has about sub? sided-no new Cases have developed in about three "weeks. ? Mr.^M. L. Keels is improving from his smallpox. Mr. and Mrs. Gus "Haynie, of- Car? terville, visited at Mr. J. W. Brown's jg*'-*.' .. ? . . ? '. V yesterday..:. Mr. -and Mrs. M. Hill visited in .our burg yesterday. Mr. J. W.

Mr. S. D. Hurst is having some if provements made on his dwelling house. Mrs. M. E. Mitchell is spending some time with her daughter, Mrs. E. C. James. PISGAH. Pisgah, April ll.-It looks as if spring has come for good. The woods present a pretty view with its varied hues and colors, intermingled with the white dogwood blossoms, all remind? ing us that "spring time has come at last.-" Rain is needed very badly for the oats and gardens, especiall early cab? bage that are trying to head. Corn is coming up to a good stand. Cotton planting is now in full blast, and the buk of the crop will be plant? ed this week. This section had a light rain Sun? day. At Camden and on there was some hail. From Smithville towards Bishopville the rain was fine, so I am informed. McLaurin's speech in Sumter was in part a defense of his course in the senate and while we do not agree with him in what he did there, in voting with the Republicans against Demo? cratic principles and policies, he should now be encouraged and sus? tained in his present efforts to help the farmers win this fight against the sharks who are trying to destroy them. It ill becomes the News and Courier to try and criticise him for what he is now doing and throw cold water on the efforts that are now be? ing made to better the agricultural conditions of the South. This paper did he same thing in 1S90, and the les? son then taught it don't seem to have had much effect, but if it keeps on it will be taught another lesson that it and Charlestoon are a small portion of South Carolina. Mr. Elias Smith, and wife and Miss Sarah Hatfield of Smithville and Mr. Freeman of Boorden's attended ser? vices at Pisgah church last Sunday. Rev. J. C. Crouch of Bethune's will fill the pulpit of the Pisgah church on next Sunday evening, the 15th inst, at 8 p. m. PRIVATEER. Stateburg, April 10.-Mr. A. M.

We understand grinding white-lead and white-zinc. The two sorts of grinding are not much alike. Very likely oats and wheat behave very differently in the mill, and you man? age them differently-we know very little about your work ; don't need to ; we'd rather depend OH you. But we paint your house and mill and out-buildings ; perhaps you'd be glad to know about grinding paint; for some people mix their paint with a stick in a tub. We use lead-and-ziinc-nothing else. And our zinc is ss tough as your oats. Tob mixers imagine they mix it. They don't: they can't. Takes grinding to mix lead-and-zinc. They are both whiite ; when are they thoroughly mixed? Tub-mixers don't know it; but tub-mixed lead-and zinc is a streak of one along side of a streak of the other. We grind as yon grind ; and our paint is lead-and-zinc ground together, mixed intimately; il; is neither lead nor zinc, but lead-and-zinc; the lead is lost and the zinc is lost; each lost in the other ; both lost in the mixture. Lead chalka and zinc peels ; lead-and zino ground together hang on and protect each other. We Uke care of your mill outside ; yon take care of it inside. Yours truly 95 FW Devoe & Co. j ?

Rev. .Barnett Elzas of Charlestin ar? rived in Manning last Monday morn? ing on a visit to the family of Mr. A. Loryea, and left for Sumter yesterday. Rev. A X. Brunson, pastor of the Manning Methodist church,* has been honored with an invitation to preach the baccalaureate sermon for the Cita? del commencement. Mr. Branson is of the class of 18ST. Last Thursday afternoon the dwell? ing house of Mr. D. R. Lloyd, about one mile from Manning, together with its contents, was destroyed by fire, caused, it is thought, from a stove flue. One bureau, sewing machine and two feather beds was all that was saved, and among the things of value de? stroyed was a new piano recently bought. Mr. Lloyd had $900 insurance, while it will not compensate his loss, it will be of great help to him.. THE BOER WAR SPECTACLE. The Greatest Attraction of the St. Louis World's Fair Coming to Sumter. The entire original Boer War spec? tacle, the feature of the St. Louis World's Fair, and the largest, most marvelous and realistic spectacle of modern warfare ever produced in the world, is coming to Sumter and will give one performance, Monday after? noon at 2:30 o'clock. The Boer War Company was form? ed in South Africa early in February, 1904, by Captain Arthur Lewis, the originator and general manager of the company, who was fortunate enough to be able to induce one of the greatest of all Boer generals, the hero of Paardeberg. General Piet A. Cronje, to join, and each and every one of the 600 men composing this small army, half Boer and half Brit? ish, were first compelled to prove that they had fought for their respective country in the late war. A special ship was chartered to bring the men and equipment to this country from Cape Town and the first performance was given at the St. Louis World's Fair early in June, and thence three times daily until the Fair was over. Eighty per cent, of the visitors to the World's Fair saw the Boer War and loaded their treasury to the extent of nearly one million dollars. The Boer War Spectacle was given in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras this season, with enor? mous success, many thousands of peo? ple flocking to the city who would not otherwise have attended the festival, and although two and three perform ancees were given daily, thousands were turned away. In addition to Gen. Cronje, the Boers are commanded by fifteen of? ficers, all of whom took a leading part in the great struggle for their country. Other distinguished Boer leaders who will be seen are Commandant J. Ni Boshoff, a grandson of a late pres? ident of the Orange Free State and who held command of President Stein's boody guard. Commandant G. M. Dam, for sev? eral years in command of the Trans? vaal mounted police, Commandant G. Mare, chief of the Red Cross corps; Nick Van Gass, known as the one armed hero of Spion Kop, and Cap? tain O. J. Hindon, who bears a bril? liant record. The Boers are all mounted with the exception of the members of the Transvaal State Artillery who ride on the cannon, and the famous States Artillery band, some forty pieces strong. The British are also commanded by officers who held commissions for their country in South Africa. The contingent is composed of cavalry, mounted infantry, artilery, a large de? tachment of Scottish Highlanders, a Nava! Brigade, with two guns and in ambulance corps. There are also South African Mule ind Ox wagon transports, ammunition wagons, and cape carts drawn by four in-hand teams. Also a number of Boer women and children, and a par? ty of South African natives, Zulus, Bastutos and Kaffirs.
