We direct attention to the half page
advertisement of the Wells Dry Goods
Store in Sumter. This concern is for
ten days running a Salvage Sale"
The stock in this store is up-to-date
and first class. When you go to Sum
ter>be sure you visit the Wells Dry
Goods Store.
The. .DuRant Hardware Co. of Sum-
ter. is perhaps the largest hardware
dealers outside of Charleston and they
are always up-to-date. This concern is
so well known that it is hardly
necessary for US to say anything about
them. The name of DuFsant in the
hardware line, means q guarantee for
quality and price.
Died suddenly on the 20th, OF Sept.
at his home near Jordan, Mr.. John
Cutter, aged about 81 years. The

The deceased was a Confederate SOL

the train suddenly started and he
missed his footing causing him to fall,

The great storm sale of Mcleod
Wilkins-King Co., advertised in this
issue began today and for the next ten
DAYS the trading public will get the
advantage of rare bargains. This con-
cern is determined to convert their big
stock into cash and they have stock,
not made up Of ''odds and ends but OF
live values which will pay anybody
with money to invest in Go to see
them while the sale is going on.
In the last issue of THE TINES,
there was reference made to our friend
Mr.. Manning Richardson, but by some
means it got sandwiched into the Sum
merton letter signed H The refer
ence was in good nature, and was intend
ed to go in our local columns the
same as other news items; 1t was writ
ten by US, and ''H'' had nothing
to do, nor knew nothing about it; its
getting mixed in with his letter was
purely accidental.
Several of our citizens nave expressed
their endorsement of an editorial mourn
last issue relating to the enforcement o.
the vagrancy laws. We hope our towr
council will take up this matter as it i:
:. of great Importance. If there is nc
ordinance against vagrancy here, there
should be one, and it should be strictl.
enforced. Go out upon our streets any
dav, and you will find able-bodiet
negroes wolking about with no visible
means OF support. follow the creature:
up and it will be seen they live from
pan from some white mans kitchen
The town is 100 small for such cattle
and the police should be Instructed
that wherever one of them is found
lettering about, pull him, and give hin
thirty days on the gang. The class 0
men we speak of, are those who d.
nothing. even for pay. They must b.
made to get away from here Or go t
work.
