Owing to the condition of the streets In the vicinity, which are torn up by the sewerage work, it was Impossible for the hose wagons to reach the fire as quickly as usual.

The Southern Railway Co. will operate passenger and freight trains over their llin> between Sumter and Levl, 8. C, every other day until the tracks can be replaced. The sched? uled days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. o Bxcept on the Wateree river swamp the flood has done comparatively little damage in Sumter county, as the lo? cal rains were not excessive. Cotton that waa open in the fields was dam? aged to some extent, but in compar? ison with the immense losses the farmers of other counties have sus? tained Sumter county has been ex? tremely fortunate. Those farmers, who plant on the Wateree swamp have loot the entire crop and many of them lost heavily on live stock. The hotels here have been filled for several days with travelers who havs been flood bound. The Daily Item has been requested to announce that subscription lists for the Democratic campaign fund will ha found at the Baak of Sumter and the First National Bank, where sub? scriptions will he received. Attention it invited to the adver? tisement of O Donnell * Co. Su?ter appears to be the battle ground of the race for the solicitor ship. Mr. McLauchlln spent yester? day here looking over the field and getting his organisation In shape for a stiff fight for the votes next Tues? day. Mr. Stoii, accompanied by sev? eral friends, came In from Klngstree last night, and he spent the day In the city. The race between the two premises to be a close one In Sumter county and the friends of each are working with the utmost energy and seal to bring out every possible vote. ? i o Saturday afternoon Mrs. Archie China displayed great presence of mind, when her horse, Joe Whee'er, becoming unmanageable bolted up West Liberty street When she saw that, she could not control the frightened anlmsl snd that children In the street were In danger, she unhesitatingly drove the horse Into a large oak tree. Joe then freed himself from the har? ness, and procfedel up to the base? ball park, and entered the gate, ex? pecting to see the Game Cocks wallop Chester. Little damage was done to the vehicle, and the horse was unin? jured. FLOOD DAMAGE SMALL. Sumter County Suffered Little Loss by the Flood. The County Board of Commission? ers met In regular monthly session yesterday with all members present. Only regular routine business was transacted. Supervisor Seale made a report of his personal Investigation of the dam? age to bridges by the recent flood. He stated that one bridge on Rafting Creek hal been slightly damaged by the high water, but that the repairs would not entail much expense upon the county. The on'y considerable damage was at Hudson Bridge on Lynch's River. There the county has a bridge and causeway aggregating more than 1. 900 feet In length. Supervisor Seale spent all of yesterday at this crossing. He made a careful inspection of the causeway and bridge from end to nnd spending several hours In a boat. H" found that the actual damage was much less than anticipated. He esti? mates that the repairs can be made at a cost not exceeding $150. He made arrangements to begin the re? pair work at once and a force of twenty-flve hunds. under the super Vision of a competent foreman, wns pnt to work this morning. Supervi? sor Seale estimates that the repairs can be com ned this week. BOARDING BOOME BURNED. Fire Department Doc* Good Work This Morning. The two story residence on 8outh Sumter street, owned by Mrs. Isaac Schwans and occupied by Mrs. Mat? thews, who conducted a boarding Souse, was burned Friday about 11 o'clock. Practically ?11 of the sec? ond floor was destroyed and the lower floor was badly damaged. The fire? men by a hard fight extinguished the fire at the second floor and prevented the spread of the flames to adjacent houses. The Insurance will probably cover the loss on the house. Only a portion of the furniture and effects In the house was saved and that In bad condition. FLOOD OH SANTEE. COMMUNICATION WITH CHARLES? TON INTERRUPTED LAST NIGHT. Flood on Santee Rcuclics Northeastern llrldrc and All Trains to Charleston Annulled. * The Mood on the Santee reached the Northeastern bridge, near St. Stephens yesterday afternoon, the water over? flowing the trestle and rendering the crossing unsafe for trains.

The regular pas? senger train between Columbia and Charleston went only as far a? Lanes last night and there was no train from Charleston this morning.
