ness example for our men?

ways draws large audiences.
Other towns in the State are max
ing big efforts to get the State school
for gills, but we have not yet heard
a moneyed man of this town say a
word in favor it. Manning will not
get the school
We begin this week the publication
of series of war sketches by Mr. T.
Adams Way. We have in our Office
copy for another series, and we hope
to be able to get others SO as to keep
them up during the entire year.
Sumter had committee of hustlers
at the Columbia Centennial, adver-
sising their city, and we'll did they
succeed. Their activity was admired
BY every one, and Sumter was the
best advertised county in the State.
Gov. Tillman has requested the
resignation of DR.. P. E. Griffin, su-
perintendent OF the State lunatic asy-
lum. The requested resignation
grew out of the recent investigation
of the management of said institution.
The Freeman is a new paper pub
hshed in Sumter, with Mess. John j.
Dargan and Edwin F. Miller editors
and proprietors. It is spicy and
newsy sheet, well printed, and presents
a strong claim for the popular sup
port of the people of Sumter.
The Teachers State Association
viii meet in Anderson July %, %,
and "a. Anderson has offered to en-
tertain. the teachers free Of expense,
and the railroads will sell tickets at
reduced rates. Every teacher who
can spare few dollars to buy tick
ct should go.
This spring has brought forth a
lot of third party cranks, but we pre-
dict that after a summers sun gets
through with them, an autumn breeze
viii blow their crispy existence into
some other chine more suited to its
growth. The Democratic party is
good enough for US.
Col. James A. Hoyt has retired
from the Baptast Courier of which he
was the senior editor and proprietor
for thirteen years. Rev. A. J. S.
Thomas, of Orangeburg, has pur-
chased Col Hoyt's interest in the pa
per, and after the first of June it will
be conducted by Messrs. Keys &
Thomas.
It would be a good idea, when you
hear uncompGmentary assertions
about the conduct OF the affairs Of the
present county and State administra-
tion, to make a little investigation
before believing all you hear. We
are in a position to know whereof
we speak, and we can assure the peo-
pie that "all's well!''

The railroad board of equalization
have increased the assessments OF the
railroads in this State S15,000,000.
The board raised the assessment of
every road in the State except the
Cheraw and Salisbury. One OF the
best features OF the present admins
tration is to have property assessed
somewhere in the neighborhood of
its true value. Ellerbe is q young
man, not yet thirty, but he makes a
model officer.
A gentleman of this town expressed
considerable surprise last week at the
assertion of an article in the TINES,
that the county was virtually ont OF
debt. he says he had been told that
The present county administration
was almost bankrupting the county
by heaping up debt it would take
years to pay Of: The fact is the gov
ernment, both State and county, was
never better conducted than it now
! is, and assertions to the contrary, es-
pecialiy as in the instance above
cited, are made with malice afore-
thought.
On our first page will be found an
account of the Columbia Centennial.
It was big thing, huge thing for
Columbia, but it seems to US that a
spirit of petit discourtesy was exhibit
ed in placing the governor Of the
State so far back in the line Of pro-
cession. It could not have been
otherwise than premeditated slight.
Then when the speaking was over,
the committee, regardless OF the
proprieties of the occasion and OF
the respect due to the governor
of the State, was, so we learn from
one of the daily papers, left at the
Fair grounds, to make his way home
