Last evening the Jewish day of atone
ment began, and all of the business men Of
the Hebrew faith in Manning set aside their
worldly affairs to do devote to affairs spir
itual. The suspension of business among
them continues until after sunset this ev-
ening. Throughout the world this day is
devoted to fasting and prayer by every
man and woman who has not forsaken the
faith and is not ashamed Of his Jewish
ancestry.
Mr.. A. Barron Holmes, the handsome
and popular representative Of the Walker.
Evans, & Cogswell Printing Company. OF
Charleston, had the unpleasant experience
of being arrested in the city of Sumter last
Saturday for soliciting orders without
license. After wiring his house for in
structions Mr. Holmes declined to pay the
license upon the ground that the courts
have decided that towns are not authorized
to impose license for soliciting orders.
Parties having cane to grind will do well
to call on Mr.. Jno. P. Thames, who has
just set up drst-claes apparatus for the
business.
It is not necessary for US to say anything
about the Levi Brothers, as they are so we'll
known to the people of Clarendon who we
might say raised them, but We will direct
attention to their advertisement in another
column, and say that they have with their
usual watchfulness to bushes laid in
stock of aods that excels in the way OF
prices, anything heretofore carried by
them. The facilities for handling their
immense trade has been increased, and
they are now rated the largest cotton buy
ers in Sumter, which is saying much when
the great competition is considered.
In looking over our advertising columns,
don't fail to carefully read the attractive ad-
vertisement of Hammond. the Sum

ries q beautiful line of dry goods and no.
tons, and whatever is bought at his store
is first class. He is fast gaining reputa-
ton among the people 81 this ees9tF- thai

cheap, and as a result, he is doing large
business. a visit 10 his attractiyely az
ranged store. which is on Main Street. will
convince the most doubling, that he has on
elegant stock. Mr. r. 4. Lowry formerly
of this town, is one of his salesmen, and he
would be pleased to have his Clarendon
friends to call on him.
One of the saddest events that has oc-
Cured in tkis community happened at Al
colu last Monday morning. Little David,
the eipht-year-old son of Mr.. D. ". Alder
man, was seated on pile Of brick beside
his fathers tram track, and just as the
train of trucks was rolling past him some
of the brick that he was sitting on slipped
from under him and threw the little fellow
under the tram car wheels. Both legs
were crushed so badly that it was impossi-
BILE to save them, and amputation was nee
esssry to save the poor little fellows life.
