This Is fair week and many people
will go over to the capital city from
Sumter to take In the sights and the
crowd and get taken In. also.
II man wants light to give him
light does he put 1t under some clos
cd ob5ect2 No. Then why should
the business man hide his business by
not advertising? The progressive
man advertises.
Although there was the usual large
crowd In the city on Saturday, there
was no disorder. The colored show
on South Main street attracted a
large crowd on Saturday night, but
everything passed of very orderly
there.
Since the Court House Is no longer
In the center Of the business district.
the large number Of court attendants
are no longer seen on the streets. 1t
Is Impossible for them to loaf uD-
town nov and hear their names whom
called. Judge Prince made it very
plain yesterday that all persons hav-
ing business with the court must be
on hand when needed.

coived favorable Commo mt cverywhcrc

ladies' of the city ami will be pro-
ductive OF much benefit.

A negro was arrested this morning
for stealing brass from the machine
shop Of the Northwestern Railroad.
He had appropriated among other
things q valuable injector and a ratch-
ct. 1t was said that he took about
$7S worth Of brass. The idea in steal
ing this stun was presumably to sell
n at a junk yard. The negro should
have known that an attempt to sell
such useful articles would eventually
lead to his arrest for these articles
were far from being funk" He was
bound over to the higher court by
Recorder Hurst.
1t Is said that the farmers are be-
ginning to store their cotton right
along since the recent slump in the
market. "The cause for this decline
Is due partially 10 the unsettled state
OF the financial centre in New York
city, said a prominent buyer this
morning. IF the market had OPEN
ed at eight or nine cents and then
gone up to thirteen before declining,
the present decline would have not
been felt 30 heavily by the planters,
but when the market opens high, as
It did this season. and then declines,
1t causes general state Of dissatis-
faction among the farmers, although
the present price Is very good
price," said the same buyer.

Mr.. Garfield Is busy cleaning
house these days and If he keep
up the work in the way he ha
begun he will make 8 thorough
job Of it. He has introduced tw,
innovations lately that will en-
amle the various bureaus under
him to do more effective work
though it will throw out OF EN-
ployment over a hundred al,
clerk, who have been retained
on the rolls through pity 70,
many years. In the Land Office
the records have alwas beer
copied by hand in pen and ink
Hencefolth they will be copiet
On the typewriter at u saving ol
fifty per cent in cost and sixty
per cent in labor. Thirteen
clerks have already been dis.
missed ana q hundred more will
follow as Il rcsul. Of this chang
and thGrc ~ u howl from the
Government clcrl; and the news
papers of the city oil Of which
bcfriend the Government clerks.
TO do so is popular here. This
dism.ssing Of aged and decrepit
clerks j" an unpleasant and some
times even u heart breaking
business. Most of them have
worked nearly all of their lives in
a.Goyernment oAica, Or, ~ might
more correctly be said, have
drawn their salaries from the
Government for that time. The
majority of them could not have
retained place On merit any
where else for Il year and now
AT the time of their dismissal
they added intirm;ty to incompe.
tencc and having saved nothing
for old age and being without the
ability to find or keep Il place
must become dependent on
charity.
Secretary Garfield is also in
Producing y new system of book
Keeping in the various bureaus
and the old one which was near.
~ as old lis the constitution and
entirely Inadequate to the great
business OF the Department will
be- displaced with the old clerks.
Modern methods and new clerks
educated in expert book keeping
will be introduced. This causes
II howl too but the Secretary has
cotton wool.in his ears and is go.
ing ahead. He was Il member of
the Keep Commission appointed
TO investigate the workings of
the various departments and it
WIS not difficult for him to see
that the principal impeachment to
effective work was the retention
Of old methods and old clerks
from sentiment, timidity or in.
difference. Now that he is in a
position to make reforms he is
useing some of the information
