On Mr. Brandon's farm, one mile

months-old negro child named Boston
Bond, met his death, it is claimed,

Brunson, boy nine years OF age, VINO

AS the story goes, Walter, in com
pany with English and Hampton
Price, two boys Of about 10 and IL
years of age, went out to play, taxing
the infant with them.
A dispute arose between them and
some other boys, and rock throwing
contest resulted. Walter, who was
carrying the baby on one arm during
the excitement, let it fall head first
on log, causing its death after lin
gering in agony until the next morn
Walter Brunson and the two Price
lads were arrested On the charge OF
murder, there being conflicting stories
as to the real cause of the infants
death, and on Friday they we're brought
to the Sumter jail.
Brunson was admitted to bail, but
the Price lads are now occupying a

That Debate on immersion.

Editors The Courier: Dr.. G. G.
Browsgsn explaining the subject to be
discussed by Dr.. Porter and himself
in last weeks Courier. states that his
side of tie question is to show that
baptism, performed by a regularly
ordained Baptist preacher, who after
wards backslides and falls into sin to
such an extent as to class such one
as rascal, does not invalidate bap-
tisms !, ,e-formed before such a person
had backslidden. This explanation
does not explain Dr.. Browns side Of
the question, as he will find when he
comes before the people at Sumter to
discuss it. If that is alien immersion,
certainly great many Baptists badly
misunderstood the meaning Of alien
immersion. 1t seems to me that DR..
Brown is rather premature in open.
ing the discussion in the columns OF
The Courier. I think it will be well
for him to wait until after the debate
in Sumter is over, and then if he
wishes to discuss the question in The
Courier, I will agree to find some one
to discuss it with him in that way.
Yours sincerely.

Wake Up !!

A number of prominent business
men and officials of the city in gen
eral street discussion this morning by
actual comparison showed that Sum-
ter could for her size and population
exhibit finer store buildings, a larger
retail trade, better horses, more cap
itai, smoother streets, more automo-
biles, prettier women and handsomer
men than any corporation in the State,
Columbia not excepted, and yet, all
other places were far ahead of her in
publishing their advantages and good
points, in public celebrations OF holi-
days, in street fairs, and all other de-
vices that attract to the place the
stranger and an influx of money. Wake
up, people and advertise the town in
some solid manner.

the court officials were present as well
as numerous other citizens of less

the event of the day, but there were
various and sundry amusements that
made the day pass quickly and pleas
antly. The sporting event of the day
was a foot race between Clerk Of
