D1PHTHER1A IN SUMTER.

We learn that the report is current
in other portions of the State that
diphtheria of malignant and fatal
type is epidemic in this city, and that
the number Of cases is increasing.
The report does Sumter a grave in
justice, particularly as it it false.
The facts do net furnish grounds for
the report
During the latter part of May and
first weeks of June there were nine
cases of tliphtheria reported to the
Health Office Of these cases. bet
one, the first, was attended by
fatal results The other children
recovered, and there have been no
new cases within the past three
weeks. The promptest measures
were taken by the Board of Health
and the physicians of the city to
isolate all cases aud to prevent the
spread of the disease, which was at
no time epidemic. The disease has
been eradicated, and sufficient time
has elapsed since the last case was
pronounced cured to satisfy the
Beard of Health and the physicians
that there is no danger of the disease
spreading. Every house in which a
case of diphtberia occurred has been
thoroughly disinfected and fumigated
by the Health Officer, and we can,
without hesitation, assure the public
that Sumter is free of diphtheria. and
all reports.to the contrary are false

CHRISTIANS BURNED A
MORMON CHURCH.

Special to The State.
Rideeway. July 5.-Yesserday the
Mormon congregation. led by II elders,
held a quarterly conference az Jake
Freeman's place. about eight miles
southeast of this town. the services
being attended also by outsiders attract
ed by curiosity. A feature of the oc-
cssioo was the presence Of 16 Catawba
Indians, who have been converted to
this faith.
The rapid increase of the Mormon
denomination 10 that portion Of the
couutry bas created much feeling. so
that one Was hardly surprised to hear
that q little after midnight Saturday
the church which the MorroDs bad
erected at the cost Of much self.denial
vas set a6re and burned to the ground,
uecessisating the use Of the primitive
bush arbor FOR the celebration yester-
day.
However much any Que may deplore
the spread of the doctrine around him,
it is needless to say that this form of
argument against it (arson) is not CAL
cula,ed to ipjure the Mormon faith by
superiority Of reasoning or Of Christian
practice. As matter Of fact,
the church will be rebuilt
10 short order and OF superior
size by the members justly ipceused,
apd With the help of contributions from
sympathizers who depricate the use
of such weapons as we're used on this
occasion.
