MUSTERED INTO SERVICE.
The Newberry Boys Mustered Into
Regular Service Compan, B
First Regiment South Caro-.
lima Volunteers u. s.. A.

The Newberry Guards have succeeded
In recruiting their company to the re-.
9uired number and on Wednesday
evening were mustered into the regular
service Of the United States Agny.
The company Is composed of 81 meu
and the official roll will be published in
Tuesdays paper.
The following complimentary notice
OF the Newberry boys is taken from the
Columbia Register of yesterday:
"When the Newberry company was
drawn up In the pine grove that sur
rounds Col. Alston's tent last afternoon
to take the obligation, it was seen that
| nearly every man was on the sunny
side of thirty, and finer body of young
follows never faced o mastering officer.
In the ranks were represented al the
avocations OF life-eXcs spt that one Of
peace-the ministry. These men have
made many sacrifices to the call Of
duty, and their patriotism must go nm
questioned. They have left pleasant
homes and relatives for the precarious
hard knocks and possibly worse. Cap
tain Langford and his officers have
worked earnestly to furnish tho gov
crnment an entire company. Their
original command was rent almost in
twain by the rigid medical eXamina-
tions. Undismayed these young gen.
tlemen went to work with redoubled
interest; obstacles only served to in
crease their zeal, and as u result of un-
tiring effort, directed by Intelligence,
one OF the commands that suffered most
had the honor OF being the second mus
tered into the service OF the United
States.
"The mastering was done by Captain
Ezra Fuller Of the Seventh United
States Cavalry. The roll was verified
by the actual presence Of the men.
The two lines OF recruits were counted
md Captain Fuller stopped Out in front,
removed his hat and gave final in
struction. Then this veteran--who
had possibly seen thousands of men
sworn into tho regular service-in q
voice that sounded strangely sole nm
in comparison to his usual CHEEKY
tones, administered the oaths to the
men who stood uncovered with their
right hands raised to God. The scene
was impressive and instructive, every
by-stander forgot curiosity for the mo-
ment and lifted their hats also.
"TEe company was then marched
back to quarters and there received the
cheers and congratulations of those
who are now their comrades in arms,
! and those who soon expect to bc. While
this reception-if it might SO be called
was in progress it occurred to some
Of the men that few speeches might
noo be out OF order. Accordingly they
began calling for favoritics. Mr.. Cole
Blease, Capt Langford and Gen. J,
| Gary Watts each responded in happy
style to the call Of the men,

There IS DOT the slightest danger of another

smallpox is winter disease and is said to DC
more viruleot and to spread more rapidly

Something should be cone at once TO pre-

and all who have not been successfully vac
cinated within the past year or two should
be vaccuated without delay.

There has been considerable discussion @

There has been considerable discussion Of
Sthe csse against Early P. Lee FOR forgery and
the continuance granted nntil the next term
Of court. Tp yiew Of the fact that masy
people who haYs discussed the matter ere not
acquainted with the circumstances that led
80 the contiauance of the case it is well to
place the facts in brief form before the
public When the case was called for trial
Solicitor Wilson stated that the State was
ready to 60 10 trial, and the defense who
was represented by the Assistant Uuifed
States Attorney who appeared for Abial
Lathrop, United States District Attorney,
whose name was entered 90 the record as
counsel for the defeadant, stated that although
several witnesses for the defense were not
p,eseef, he would consent to the case be ng
taken mp. Just at that stage Solicitor Wilson
received telegram from Attorney General
Barber, which be read and had fled bv the
Clerk Of Court The telegram requested
Solicitor Wilson TO hare the case against
Early P Lee eontinued snd stated that let.
Ser which followed would explain more
fally. The case was therefore confined. The
letter referred to by Attorney General Barber
was received yesterday. Gen. Barber stated
that the request for the continuance Of the
Lea case Was made at the direct req est of the
representative Of the Attorney General Of the
United States. Lee is . priacipal witness in
the Lske City lynehing csse aad the United
States authorities do uot want the case
against him for forgery pressed until the
|. lyncbing cases have been brought to trial.
Solicitor Wilson is in no wise respon sible
z for the contiuusnce of the case, as he simply
ssobeJed orders from the attorney General, his
SUPERIOR officer.

No Smallpox IN Sumter.

The fact thst cese of smallpox has been
reported 70 the State Board of Health from
Sumter County appears to have thrown some
of the town authorities in the upper section
of the State into Mysteries and they are talk
ing of quarantiniug against tha city of Sum-
ter. This is notably the case with Greenville,
from which city talk of qoarantiniog comes
with i'll grace, for smallpox 6rst appeared in
this State in Greenvile, and to the Greenville
cases all othe, cases of smallpox that subse
quertiy appeared in the State have oeen
traced. Greenv,lle was the original center
of infection, and the spread of the disease
was due to the fact that for weeks the G1een-
vile authorities maintained that the ''erup-
tive disease was chickeupox AID not geo.
uine smallpox, during which time the proper
precautions were not taken to prevent the
spread of the disease. 1t is late day for
Greenville to become hysterical and talk
about quarantining against smallpox in Sum.
ter County miles away from any town.
There are a few cases of smallpox in one
family in Sunter County, but not single
case 10 the City OF Sumter, nor is there sus-
picious case in this city. The case reported
to the State Board of Health is miles away
from this city, and in neighborhood whore
1t is uolikeiy to spread, as there is not much
probability Of others coming 10 contact With
those who are rot infected. The township
board of health has taken all proper precan-
tiops to preveo, further spread Of the ois-
ease, the family baviug j, now having been
isolated. Every persou living within two
miles Of the family will be vaccinated and
the house in which they live will be thorough
ly disinfected when the disease has run its
course and danger of infection he's passed
There is no danger Ct smallpox ,eappearing
in this city, for every mau, woman and child
vas successfully yaccinated last Spring when
the disease first appeared here, and now there
is not the remo,est probability of any resi-
dent of Sumter contracting the disease. A
quarantine agains, the City of Sumter is both
needless and foolish, aud the authorities OF
other towns should do th.s city the justice to
ascertain the facts from the State Board OF
Health before they rush into the papers and
advertise to the world the false charge that
smallpox has brokeu out in Sumter. eumter
County is large place and it ls quite diff,
ferent thing to hive smallpox in Sumter
County miles distant from the city and to
oave it within the lin its of the city.
