The G. S. and N. to be Reorgan-
lied.

The Charleston, Sumter and Northern R.
R, which went into lie hands of receiver
in 1891 will shortly be reorganized and pass
into the hands of some larger system or be
taken 10 hand by its new owners.
There have been rumors of n deal and
reorganization for sometime, but until last
Friday and Saturday there Was not sufficient
basis for the rumors to gain general belief.
On Friday and Saturday there were develop
meu,s that enabled those interested TO state
positively that there had been deal, that the
road would be reorganized or change bands,
and that aIl outstanding indebtness would be
paid up within ten days or two weeks.
Immediately there was quite an effort by
those who were posted to buy up the outstand-
ing time checks, which previously had been
drug on the market at a heavy discount. II
the checks are paid of as stated, several
knowing ones will be ahead on the transac-
ton.
As to who has or will acquire contiol of
the road there are numberless reports and
surmises, but not one can be verified, and
those best informed say that it will be seve-
raj days before the matter will be public.
The reports say that the Coast Line has
bought it that the Seaboard Air Line has
boagh, it, that the Louisville and Nashville
has bought it together with the South Caro-
lima road, aud so the reports 60.
It is to be hoped that some strong system
other than the A. G L. has bought the G. 8.
& n. as it will give Sumter the benefit o:
continued competition. To be bottled up by
one system would be The death of Sumter
ambitions.

Accidental Shooting.

Mr.F.L. Player killed another negro on
Saturday. night. The; killing occurred IN
Mayesviiie, and was accidental. Mr. Player
was:in tue store Of jackson 4 Smith and was
examining the pistol of Mr.. q. S. Thomas,
who clerks in that store While examining
the mechanism of the pistol, it was dis
charged aud the ball struck James Remoer'
negro boy about sixteen years old, who
had Just moment before stepped into the
store, mortally wounding him.
The negroes-those OF Mayesville oeing
somewhat noted for obstrepetousness-oega
making threats against Mr. Player and if
the white men of the town, led by the Mayor,
Mr.. J. E. Mayes, had not taken prompt
measures the threats may have been followed
By some overt act As it was they were
forced to keep ,beselves within bounds.
When Rembert died next day at II clock,
Coroner Commander promptly took charge
aud held the inquest. 1t happened that the
Jury was composed of twelve white men and
two negroes, which furnished an excuse for
more insolent talk by the negroes. One or
more of them went so far as to tell the
Coroner that he should not hold the inquest
unless he drew new jury to be composed OF
seven negroes aud seven white men. The
Coroner told them that be would hold the
in quest with the jury as drawn by the Sheriff,
Notwithstanding their objections. This quiet
ed most OF them, although it is threatened
that warrant will be taken out for Nr.
Player, charging him with murder, despite
the verdict of the jury signed by all fourteen
of them, that the shooting was wholly acci-
dental.

Rank Statements.

The regular quarterly statement OF the
Bank of Sumter was published IN the last
issue, aud, owing to the late hour at which
the copy was brought iu, and the hurry in
going to press, notice was omitted. Inc
statement shows the bank to be in healthy
condition, and the amount of deposits are
larger than when the last statement was
made. The management of the hank deserve
the utmost credit for the good showing 1t
makes after several years of the greatest hnan-
ciaI stringency this country has ever e1pe'
rienced.
Attention is directed to the regular state
ment of the Simonds National Bank pub
lished to-day The deposits are $4,000 in
excess of deposits the same date last year.
The rediscounts one-half less, and the busl-
ness has increased one-third in the same time,
judging from the deposits Since the state
ment was called for, large deposit has been
made in New York by the c. S. r N. RI,
and placed to the credit of the bank to cover
pay rolls for five months, which are now being
paid out here. The Simonds Bank is thus
acting in the capacity of U. S. sub-treasury
as be C.. S. l. N. is in the hands of the q. S.
Courts.

the magnificent stock of staple and novelty

the center Of attraction, and several ladies
who are always the best judges of such mat

becoming for several seasons.
In the arrangement Of displays. taste char

Number the Houses.

Mr. Editor: Wouldn't this be good time
10 number the houses in the city as has so
often been suggested by the Kateha0an and
Souttron? 1t will never do for the Carnival
to come and go and designate the places by a
number. When it is done suggest that the
numbers begiu at the intersection of Main
and Liberty streets, ruoning out each (4)
ways: And all the streets crossing Main
Street should number each way from Main,
and those parallel with Main Street should
number each way from Liberty Street. Then
North Main and South Main and East and
IVES. Liberty would be the names Of the
respective parts these streets, and all streets
parallel with Main would have n North or
South prefix and those crossing Main Street
