Beulah Chapter R. A. NJ, after the meet
ing last week, repaired to the Sumter Res
taurant, where supper was served in honor
of Grand e Ugh Priest j. T. Barron, who was
present Plates were laid for twenty-five
persons, and it is no exaggeratiou to say that
no more elegant Informal supper was ever
served in this city All the delicacies of the
season were served, and the decorations of
the room and table. composed of choice hot
house and garden flowers and plants, were
in keeping with the spread to which the
Masons Of high degree Sal down IN addi-
tion to the decorations, at each plate there
was buttonbole bouquet for the guests. Mr.. :.
Carpenter has established his reputation both
as caterer and as man of aesthetic taste in
decoration, tor it is 10 these little occasions
that lies the difference between common

Thursday was another big day at the To-

tobacco they brought. Among those from
that banner tobacco section were Goodman
and Nelson Gamble, the Players, Coker and
others. 1t is useless 10 say that the tobacco
brought big prices Goodman Gamble, as
usual, taking the lead. Some of his tobacco
sold for SAT per hundred and another lot for
S39 per hundred. The average price paid for
his entire 10: was S24 per hundred. The
average price for the day was very good. and
the sellers were oetfer pleased with Sumter as
a tobacco market than ever.

There was not single arrest made circus
day by the police of this city, although there
wss a crowd estima ated at ten to fifteen
thousand This is matter for congratua-
ton, as circus days in former years have usu-
ally been attended by a great deal of drunk
enness, and the arrests have numbered from
thirty to forty One of the police force is
authority for the statemen: that only one
drunken man was seen on the streets, and
that it is no uncommon occurrence for this
particular individual 10 be drunk. There
was no disturbance or disorder Of any sort,
az far as can be learned, during the day or
night The conspicuous absence Of drunk
enness and disorder with such an immense
crowd congregated in the city, is attributa-
BILE to two things, tie closing ofh the dispen-
cary and scarcity of blind tiger liquor in the
city. Had the dispensary remained open,
the carnival Of drunkenness and disorder
that prevailed in Spertanburg severa! weeks
ago on circus day would have been repeated
here, beyond the shadow of doubt. The
thanks of the people Of Sumter are due the
State Board of Control for their action in or
dering the dispensary closed, and it is to be
hoped that the Board will close the dispen-
sary again on he 18th instant, on which
date Pawuee Bills Wild West Show will
give au exhibition here.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH LINE.
It Will Be Completed and il
Operation on December l.
Daily lem, Nov. g.

The manager Of the hrapch line of the
Postal Telegraph Company, from this city to
Camden, was IN town to-day, and from ban
good many Interesting facts were ascer-
taiped concerning the line from this city and
the manner in which the Sumter office will
be conducted From what he said, much OF
it not being intended for publication, it was
made much palmer than ever that the estab-
lishmen, offs postal Office in this city will be
of great benefit to the business men and all
the business interests of the city. The Postal
Telegraph Company pays particular atteu-
,ion to commercial business, and has no cou-
nection with the railroads or railroad bust
ness. and commercial business has the first
consideration at all times. In every city and
town where the Postal Telegraph Company
has an Office, it has become the favorite with
business men, wao give it their patronage.
Their business is already large, but is grow
ing at "a rapid rate each year.
The line from this city to Camden will be
about thirty-two miles in Iength-perhaps a
little more or less-and will be built Of the
best materials. The work is being pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible, ard the
manager gives the assurance that the line
will be ready for business on or before De-
cember |. The Office will be fitted up in the
front part of the Office occupied by the A. G..
Phelps Co., and will have all Of the latest
Improvements for handling the business in an
accurate and rapid manner. At first, there
will be one expert operator iu charge of the
Office, aud as soon as the business Of the Office
shall require it be will be given assistants.
1t is an iofexible and invariable regola-
ton of the Postal Company that no one
save the operator shall enter the private
offte-not even another operator not con-
necfed with the Office. This regulation is en-
forced thus rigidly to prevent the contents OF
the kilograms becoming known to others than
the operator and sender. Even the messen-
ger boys are. oot permitted to know the con.
tents of telegrams received and sent When
q telegram is received 70. delivery, it is given
to the messenger boy in sealed envelope,
and he has 20 opportunity of learning the
contents of the message. These regulations
will be strictly enforced io the management
of the Sumter Office. the manager laying
especial stress 90 this point.
The erection of the line to- this city was
undertaken at the solicitation of the business
men of the city, and the office will begin
business with fair share of the patronage
of the city, and it is the duty of the people OF
Sumter to patronize the Postal Company
literally.

The ordinance prescribing the regulations
of the Board of Health becomes effective on
the l4th instant. On and after that date, 40
burials will be permitted within the city
without death certi6 cate from physician
and a burial permit from the Health Officer.
A compliance with this requirement by un-
dertakers and others in charge of intermeuts
will prevent confusion and embarrassment.
MIR F. Whitlock being disturbed Monday
night, after retiring, by an unusual noise In
the room, got out Of bed aud began an in
yes,igstion. When he looked under his bed
bare-heeded and bare-footed negro man,
holding a pistol ie his bscd was discovered.
Mr.. Whitlock went into the roono adjoining
10 get bis pistol. and the negro utilized the
time to escape Mr. Whi,lock shot at the
fleeing negro through the door, but did not
hit his mark.
Mr.. l.. S. Carson bad an experience with a
burglar at his residence on Saturday night that
will serve to put others on their guard. Af-
ter tea Mr. and Mrs Carson locked the house
and walked down the street, where they re-
NAMED few minutes When they returned
,hev observed that a window on the side OF
,he house bad been opened and the sash
raised. Investigating further, it was dis
covered that the person who had entered
through the window had taken nearly all of
q waiter of apples and oranges that was oa a
rable ia the dining room, aud had taken the
from. door key also. Later in the night the
burglar made an attempt to re-enter the
house, but was seen and shot at with pistol
by M.. T. E. Richardson, who occupied a
room on the second floor. The negro leaped
from the fence, on which he was standing
while endeavorng TO open the window, and
made his escape. He was not hit by the
nissol balls, as FIR as can be discovered, no
bloody trail having been left, nor has aoy
negro reported TO the doctors with pistol
hall in his body There is no clue to the
identity of the bprglsr. On Sunday moro-
mo pile of orange peel was found under
the house where the burglar had concealed
himself after entering the house early in the
night. Mr. Carson is of the opinion that the
burglar was frightened out of the house when
ne returned from down town, and be then
concealed himself under the house until be
shonpb; all the inmates had fallen asleep.
