there is any shortage in the banks

ing of the directors will be held IN

tion win follow. I'm viewof the death

His sisters are Mrs. E. B. Cantey and
Mrs. Brown Manning, and his broth
ers are Messrs. A. H., Burwell, Allen
Jones and Z. Whitaker Boykin, all OF
whom are prominent and popular men
here.
Mr.. Bokyin was one of the most
prominent business men in the State.
He was member of the Democratic
convention at Chicago III 1884 which
nominated Cleveland for president !;
was member Of the legislature and
in 1885 was appointed United States
marshal. After serving his term OF
Office he returned to his home near
Camden where he engaged in farming.
A few years later he moved to Camden
and organized the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank; was eelcted president OF
the institution and served in that Ca
pacity until his death.
At one time he was p1esident of the
Camden cotton mills. then resigned
that position and organized the De-
Kalb cotton mills. of which he was
made president. He was also president
of the Press Brick company and several
other enterprises of this city. Mr..
Boykin was man of charming per-
sonality, Christian gentleman of the
old regime with a gentle and cour-
teous manner and bearing.

strongly condemned by the two Sena-
tors from South Carolina and the white
people of the city. The President
named Crum as recess appointment
and be has been serving several
months. It is believed that the Com
mittee on Commerce to which the ap-
pointment has been referred will report
favorably on it, but Senator Tillman
will fight the confirmation in the exc
cutive session and threatens filibuster
which may arouse a prolonged debate
on the negro question. In the House,
Representative Crumpacker of Indiana
has reintroduced his favorite resolu-
tion providing for the appointment of
a committee to examine the suffrage
conditions in the different states. with
the evident intention of bringing
about reduction of the representation
in Congress of the Southern States.
Representative Dick of Ohio will sup
port similar resolution and Senator
McComas has introduced bill in the
Senate calling for an investigation Of
the condition of the colored race. The
National Sociological Society, a COM
mittee of which has just been cordially
received by the President, is going to
appeal to Attorney General Knox, to
protect the negro by defending the
Fifteenth Amendment.

4 SENSATION IN COLON.

(. Iombian Flag is Not Allowed to
Land.

Colon, Nov. 15.-The overdue Ger
man steamer Scotia arrived from the
coast at sundowa today flying the
Colombian flag. Her agents signalled
the Scotia to come alongside her
wharf, but she is row anchored a
mile and half from the harbof. Cut
ters from the United States auxiliary
cruiser Dixie are plying to and from
the Scotia, which has no communica-
tion with the shore. There is great
excitement, and it is said that Gen.
Reyes and his staff are aboard the YES
sci. The United States converted crui-
ser Mayf1ower left her anchorage and
steamed to meet the Scotia.
The moment the Scotia anchored
twenty marines from the Dixie were
landed here.

The City Treasurer received taxes
today from the Sumter Insurance
Agency ON behalf of their companies,
amounting to 5000, which together
with license tax already paid in, ex-
ceeds 81, 10000.
The ordinance under which manu-
featuring enterprises may be exempt
from taxation, at the discretion of the
City Council, provides that manufac-
turing or other enterprises, whose
principal business is the producing or
making of articles for shipment to
other places beyond the corporate linn
it's of the City of Sumter may be ex-
enpt from taxation for a period of five
years. The tax exemption asked for
by the proposed street railway and
power company cannot be granted
under this ordinance The ordinance
could be amended by vote of the
people of Sumter, provided the consti-
tuition of 1885 permits the exemption
of enterprises other than strictly man
ufacturing establishments. The proper
ty owners of Sumter would probably
vote to exempt street railway system
from taxation for period of FIVE years,
if they have the right to do SO under
the State Constitution, but as the
matter now stands the Council is DOW
erless, even by the most liberal con-
strpction, to grant the request of the
str@t railway promoters

tification and arrest of the thief, but
having no evidence to work on has

Firebuss in Privateer.

Two fires occurring within few days
of each other, and both under suspi-
cio1s circumstances, have give rise to
what appears to be well founded be-
lief that there is ap incendiary at
work in Privateer township.
One might last week the barn and
stables of Mr.. Frank Wrinkles we're
burned. In addition to his corn, for
age and farming implements a mule
owned by his son-in-law was burned
His loss was quite heavy and he hae
NO INSURANCE. On Monday night the
barn and stables of Mr.. John W.
OsSeen were burned and the circum-
stances were so suspicious that there
was little room to doubt that it Was
the work OF an incendiary. A messen-
ger was sent to this city Immediately
after the FIRE and cold Station the
bloodhound was loaned by the police
in che hope that the incendiary might
be captured. The dog was put On the
trail abort midnight and followed it
without a break for seven miles until
it crossed a swamp where it was lost,
the man having taken to water. The
dog was not carried across the swamp
and given a chance to pick up the
trail or the other side, which he may
have been able to do after having
made such fine chase
It is not known whether any parti-
cular person is suspected of setting
fire to the barns, but the people of
that neighborhood are considerably
wrought up and if 6rehug should be
caught in the act it will be a serious
matter for him.
