schools of Kansas about 10 death: In "A
rccent communication made mention OF
the 81. John circuit' Of prohibition camp
meetings, and referred to the purpose to
have them continue over the Sabbath. Then
the first was in progress; since then sever
al have bcen held, and the dOings have been
fully reported. In every instance the
speakers were able and attractive, and thc
audiences were very large, and had the
meetings been restricted to week-sIays
there would probably have been nothing
objectionable to report. But such were
the features OF the proceedings on the
Sabbath that Christian, and ortler.loying
people, could not but be panied and regret
tllat the meetings were not ended or sus-
pended Oh Saturday night. The speakers
selected for the Sabbath were always the
best, or most popular; these were exten-
sively advertis,vl; special trains were run,
and an increased gate-fee was charged.
The addresses were nothing less than po-
litical addresses. Then during the entire

Deaths.

Died on Monday, the 26th, Mrs. Barbara
Jones, mother OF Mr. Charles H. Jones of
Sumter. She was &c years old the 9Th of this
montb-was stricken with paralysis seven
months ago, though sue had partially re-
covered, and her dea,h was the result of a
combination Of diseases. Her funeral services
were held at the Cemetery this morning by
Rev. C. C. Brown.
Nr. Cunningham Boyle, formerly of
Lynchburg, died near Greeleyville on the
Central R. R., on Saturday the 10th instant.
Mr. Boyle was well-knqyn over Sumter
County, through his peculiar religious
rotions, which he advocated for years most
s.renuously. His honesty of purpose was
known and acknowledged by all, and while
but few were inclined to subscribe to his
religious views, none doubted his conscieo-
tious belief.
Ar. Boyle was twice married. Mrs. Mar
,ha Fullwood was his first wife and Mrs. n.
S. Carrawav his second. He leaves his wife,
two sons, two daughters and brother to
mourn his loss

Court.

The Court Of General Sessions opened yes-
terday, with Judge Witherspoon presiding.
His charge to the Grand Jury covered the
usual ground and was clear and succinct. He
dwelt with emphasis, upon their duty in re-
porting violations of the State law in refer
ence to selling whiskcy, and the necessity of
making careful examination of the books and
bonds of the County officers.
True bills have been found in the following
cases:
The State vs. John Howell-burglary and
larceny. William G. Pierson-obtainiug
watch under false pretence. S. G. Dennis
trespass and larceny. William Thomas and
Samuel Demonstrating live stock. Robt.
Aalden-burglary aud larceny. Virgil V.
Lawson; Robt. Rose and Bina Lawson-riot
aud assault. The same defendan,s-riot and
trespass. Henry W. Wilder-carrying con-
ceaied weapons. Hector Stewart-selling
crop under lien. James Bracy-burglary
and larceny. Vim. Geddis-larceny. Allen
Nack-Arson.
Judge Wi,herspoon is pushing the work
rapidly aud the Sessions Docket will possibly
be cleared by Wednesday night.
The Grand Jury was discharged to-day.

Our Democratic Club met at its usual place,
Reid's Mill on Saturday afternoon, 24th

to serve for the next two years. Our honored
and esteemed citizen, Col j. Harrington

Mr.. J. C. Scott, Vice President, and Mr.. \.

The weather has been fine for several weeks,
with now and then refreshing showers to
quench the thirst of the young cotton plant.
Crops are growing finely. A good many
farmers did not get perfect stand Of cotton
at the beginning of the season, but by pa
tlence and replanting they have all succeeded
in getting good stands. Corn crops are quite
encouraging at present. Farmers in this Sec
ton are paying more attention 10 the cultiva-
ton Of small grain than formerly, and when
they devote still more attention to it, in my
opinion, there will be !. corresponding i'm
provement in finances: and the most effectual
way Of abolishing the ''Iien Law" will be
for every farmer to make his bread-s:uffs at
home, and not have his granary in the far

Street Row.

Sunday night, the congregation going
home from the Baptist Church met q bolster
Gus crowd in front of Whiteheart's saloon,
and some Of them had difficulty In passing.
Next morning we heard that the proprietor
had been drunk the night previous and snap
ped a pistol, which WAS fortunately empty,
at colored man. He was arrested and
brought before Council for punishment. Our
Information Of the Council proceedings was
meagre, but we understand that two Of the
Wardens, whose sympathies and predictions
are always on the side of the saloon Keeper,
voted for fine of S.. 90. Capt. Lorus, who
believes in tine observance of law and the
punishment of wrong, moved for fine Of
$1,000, but no one being present 10 second the
motion the Inteudant imposed fine Of
$40 90, and would no doubt have been glad
to make it twice as heavy, for so aggravated
an offence. Warden DeLorme WAS not pres

A Pretty Scene.

The crowniug Of the May Queen by the
Methodist Sunday School last Wednesday
evening, brought out prodigious crowd.
The Hall was packed aud the behavior even
of the 'bad boy" was remarkably good.
At 8 80 the curtain rose and disclosed a
pretty scene. A beautiful bower in the CEN
tire Of the stage, elabora,ely decorated, con-
taiued the throne for the Queen and seats for
her two maids Of honor placed against the
crimson background.
The exhibition opened with a song from on
invisible choir, and then six girls as lovely rs
fairies trooped in under the control of their
directress. The Queen of May was crowned,
the Queen of Fairies opportuuely being
present to perform that duty; and through
out the remainder Of the exercises, consisting
Of songs, dialogues and recita tons, the two
Queens sat most lovingly side by side, while
the stage was covered and pervadcd by vis-
ion of loveiness rarely seen. The exhibition
was full of delightfully."- fanciful coacci,s; and
the pretty little girls (and Dig ones too) in
their fairy costumes made the scene most in
teresting even to those who could hear moth
ing. Dr. Aud stated at the close Of the
ceremony That ice cream, Strawberries and
lemonade, were on hand and for sale in the
rear of the Hall. Then came the rush 4; hum
dreds of thirsty souls trying at the same
time t" cool their parching tongues. Will
ing hands waited on the eager customers,
and the purse of the Church Building Asso-
citation was heavier by quite large amount at
the close of the evening.
Miss Sue Corbett was May Queen, Miss
Lula Bultman Queen of the Fairies and Miss
Glenn China was Directress.
