Flowers as n committee to draw up rules and regulations for the reel race. There were a large Dumber of travelling men in town Monday, having run in to spend Sunday, and both hotels were well filled -Sumter is the most popular Sunday point in central South Carolina. Mr. Thomas E. Richardson, who announces himself a caudidate for Clerk of Court, needs no introduction to the people of Sumter County He is well known personally, and t.is ability to fill the ofSce acceptably and to perform every duty connected with it effi¬ ciently will not be questioned by anyone. He places himself in the band3 ol the demo¬ crats of Sumter County, who will make no mistake if they nominate him. The reel race for the Pierson medal has been agreed to by both squads, and in addi¬ tion, there will be foot races to Hfford further amusement to the crowd. Delgar Squad formally suggested to Monaghan squad that foot races be held and a race between the horse reels. Monaghan agreed to everything except the race between the horse reels, baa¬ ing the refusal to this on the ground :hat a race between the Dellar horse at.d the Mona¬ ghan norse would be a one-sided affair. The Board of School Commissioners visited the white graded school every day la9t week, and inspected the work of each grade in a painstaking and thorough manner. Tbi3 week the Board will visit the Lincoln school, visiting each grade as at the white school, so that a personal knowledge of the methods . roployed and the discipline observed in each of the schools under the control of the Board may oe gained. The Board bas given much time and atteution to the schools, and the fact that the general condition of the schools is highly satisfactory to the Boatd is a de¬ cided compliment toSuperintendentEdmunds and his corps of teachers, for the opinioc of the Board is based upon the impartial obser¬ vation of practical men. ' The directors of the Sumter Cotton Mills held a meeting Thursday afternoon for the purpose of taking action in reference to the policy to be pursued. It wa9 decided that, under present circumstances, it would be unwise to continue running the mill, as to do so would enteil a less on the stockholders, therefore the mill will be shut down for an indefinite period. First, however, the cotton on hand and the stock in process will be worked up before the shut down. The shut down will fall heavily on the operatives who are wholly dependent for support on their daily labor and it will be impossible for them to obtain other employment in this city at the present time. A number of the operatives have already left the city to seek employment iu cotton mills in the upper part ef the state, where lhere is said to be constant demand for capable mill hands It is to be hoped that ihe shut down will not be long continued, and that the directors will be able at an early day to arrange for a resumption of work on a basis that will insure a profit. - mm» « » - The City Water. Recently there ha3 been complaint that the water from the city mains was not as good as it bád been, and a few people began to im¬ agine that it was not as pure as it should be for drinking purposes. In order ihat the fears of the timorous might be allayed, Su¬ perintendent Bloom sent a sample of the water to the North to have it analyzed by a firm of chemists of national reputation and unquestioned reliability. The report of the chemists has been received and it shows that the water is as pure and as free from contara- enation as it ever wa?, which should satisfy even the most exacting, for it has been pro- non need more tha*) once to be water of ex- ceptional purity and healthfulness. The re- port of the chemists is as follows : PHILADKLPHIA, May 28tb. 1S96. American Pipe Mfg Co., 1319 Filbert St., Philadelphia. Gentlemen: The sample of ''Water from Faucet in Sumter S C. supplied by Sumter Water Co." contains per gallon: Solid matter, 2.57 grains. This is composed of the Carbonates, Sul¬ phates and Muriates of Lime, Magnesia and Soda, together with a small amount cf Nitrates of the same bases. One million parts of the water contains : Ammonia-traces. Nitrogen, as Nitrates. 1.25 parts. Hardness is equal to 1 25 gratn9 of Carbo¬ nate of Lime io one hundred thousand of the water Excellent for drinking and all household USPS BOOTH, GARRKTT & BLAIR. -.- i At the 3ame time Mr. Bloom sent off the water from the Water Company tank, he also sent a sample of the water from the Mona- ghan artesiati well, and the following is the analysis of the last named: PHILAOKLPHIA, May 28, 1896. American Pipe Manufacturing Co., 1319 Fil- bert Street, Philadelphia, Gentlemen: The sample of water from Mon¬ aghan artesian well, Sumter, S. C., contain« per gallon: Solid matter 5.06 grains-This is composed of the sulphates, muriates and carbonates of lime, magnesia and soda, together with a little bicarbonate of iron. Ooe million parts of the water contains: Ammonia-trace?. Nitrates-None. Hardness is equal to 2 60 parts of carbo- nate of lime in one hundred thousand of the j water. We consider the water healthy for drink¬ ing, and excellent for household uses. Very respectfully, BOOTH, GARRETT & BLAIR. What would summer be without a ham¬ mock ? H. G üsteen & Co. have a full sup¬ ply at the lowest prices. The Commencement. The Educational Event of the Sea¬ son is, as Usual, Attended by a Large Concourse of Inter- ested Friends. THE CONCERT. rhe annual concert was held in the Insti1 tute hall Monday evening,therebeing no varan* seats left when the first ¿.umber of the pro» cram was announced by President Wilson" not withstanding V¿»e rain that nad been fall ing. since eat ly dark The audience was ap«- preeiaiive and the hrartv applause tha- greeted each numner was the highest compli- rrent the fair young musicians could ha.-e re ceived or could desire. The recitations were unusually excellent, and as each was of a type altogether diffident from thc others there was no opportunity for comparisons. The vocal and instrumental music was of such a character that the teachers of these departments were undoubtedly Gratified with the proficiency and artistic skill their pupils displaced. The program was as follows : PART I Instrumental Quartette, Husarenri'f op. 140, Spindler-Misses Lucile Hughson, Edna Hughsoc, Mary Miller, Bertha.Strange. Instrument*! Solo, Zinetta, Overture- Miss Pauline Sanders. Vocal Solo, Who Will Buy My Roses Red? Schleiffarth-Miss Bertha Strange. Recitation, The Singer, Evelyn Noble- Miss Geurgia Edmondson.

THE COMMENCEMENT The commencement exercises b^gan promptly at ll o'clock Tuesday morning, the pupils of the schcol filing io «ud being seated in time to a march played on two pianos. Maj. H. Frank Wilson, President of the In¬ stitute, welcomed the large crowd that com¬ pletely filled the large hall in a few graceful remarks, aud then the regular program was takenup It was as follows : Prayer-Rev. W. C. Power. Icstrumental Duel, op. 31-Mohr -Mi*s lograra, Miss Sanders. Salutatory-Miss Strange. Instrurneoial Solo, Galop de Concert, op. 24-Ketterer -Miss Edmondston Address-Col. James Armstrong. Vocal Quartette-The Wooing of the Rose -Hill-Miss Durant, Miss Edmondston, Miss Miller, Miss Strange. Valedictory-Miss Ingram. Awarding Medals-by Mr. H. G. Osteen. Awarding Diplomas-by Maj. H. F. Wilson. Instrumental Quartette, Die dieoische Elster-Overture-Rossini-Miss EdmoDd- ston, Miss Ingram, Miss Sanders, Miss Strange. The musical numbera, both instrumental and vocal, were as classically beautiful com¬ positions as those on the program at the con¬ cert, aod were fqually as well rendered ; con¬ sequently the enjoyment of the audience was thorough The Salutatory by Miss Bertha Strange, was well conceived, chastely and forcibly ex¬ pressed in clear virile English and was de¬ livered in a most pleasing and graceful man ner that had much of natural eloquence in i'. Miss Georgie Ingram, who received the first, honor of the class, delivered the valedictory, and to say that the task imposed upon her by the distinguished proficiency she attained io ber class work, was well performed would scarcely be doing justice, but taking the word in its literal and primary meaning it more aptly expresses what we would say of the Valedictory. It was well thought out, well writteo and well delivered, all partaking of the individual and, personal charm that is inherent to the graceful and talented young valedictorian. The feature of the program, however, was the address by Col. James Armstrong, the witty and eloquent orator of Charleston, who, called in only a few days since to take the place of Hon. H. Cowper Patton, made his audience feel that the loss was a gain. There is no more pleasant and altogether charming speaker within the borders of the State of South Carolina than this same James Arm¬ strong, who spoke yesterday. He wanders along talking without effort and with un-1 conscious eloquence punctured ever and anon with flashes of wit and humor that are irre- sis tibie. He carries his audience with him aiways and in the guise of merely amusing his bearers, he ever plants seed of wholesome instruction and purest and truest sentiment, Col. Armstrong's address was a ti eat io his hearers and u will long be remembered as a day to be marked with a white stone in the history of the Sumter Institute, when Col. Armstrong, the South Carolinian, the Irish patriot and Confederate veteran, delivered the annual address. The scholarship medals were awarded to Miss Adele McLeod in the collegiate depart¬ ment and Miss Sadie Muldrow in the primary department The announcement of the award was made and the medals presented to the young indies by Mr. Hubert G. Osteeu. Maj. H. Frank Wilson, presented the di¬ plomas to the members of the graduating class, and made a brief but feeling speech, his theme beiog the future life and opportu¬ nities of those to whom the diplomas had been awarded Then came the final number on the pro¬ gram, and the commencement of :9rj was ended, aud the workaday life of the gradu¬ ates begun. The Alumra.- Association held a meeting immediately after the commencement exer¬ cises and routine business was transacted. Mrs. L. A. Brown, the former principal and founder of the Institute, was present, and ad¬ vantage was taken of this by the Alumna-, and H very pretty little incident was the re¬ sult. Miss Nina Moise was chosen as the representative of the Association to welcome Mrs Brown back to Sumterand to the Insti¬ tuto. This duty she performed so gracefully and appropriately that Mrs. Brown doubtless felt thrice welcome in her old home Mothers will find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy especially valuable for croup »nd whooping cough. It will give prompt re¬ lief and is safe and pleasant. We have sold it for several years and it has never failed to give the most perfect satisfaction. G W. Richards, Duquesne, Pa Sold bv Dr. A. J.

The directors of the Sumter Cotton Millsheld a meeting Thursday afternoon for thepurpose of taking action in reference to thepolicy to be pursued. It wa9 decided that,under present circumstances, it would beunwise to continue running the mill, as to doso would enteil a less on the stockholders,therefore the mill will be shut down for an

indefinite period. First, however, the cottonon hand and the stock in process will beworked up before the shut down. The shutdown will fall heavily on the operatives whoare wholly dependent for support on theirdaily labor and it will be impossible for themto obtain other employment in this city atthe present time. A number of the operativeshave already left the city to seek employmentiu cotton mills in the upper part ef the state,where lhere is said to be constant demand forcapable mill hands It is to be hoped thatihe shut down will not be long continued,and that the directors will be able at an earlyday to arrange for a resumption of work ona basis that will insure a profit.

The City Water.

Recently there ha3 been complaint that thewater from the city mains was not as goodas it bád been, and a few people began to im¬agine that it was not as pure as it should befor drinking purposes. In order ihat thefears of the timorous might be allayed, Su¬perintendent Bloom sent a sample of thewater to the North to have it analyzed by a

firm of chemists of national reputation andunquestioned reliability. The report of thechemists has been received and it shows thatthe water is as pure and as free from contara-enation as it ever wa?, which should satisfyeven the most exacting, for it has been pro-non need more tha*) once to be water of ex-

ceptional purity and healthfulness. The re-

port of the chemists is as follows :

ceived or could desire. The recitations were

unusually excellent, and as each was of a

type altogether diffident from thc others therewas no opportunity for comparisons.The vocal and instrumental music was of

such a character that the teachers of thesedepartments were undoubtedly Gratified withthe proficiency and artistic skill their pupilsdisplaced.The program was as follows :

THE COMMENCEMENTThe commencement exercises b^gan

promptly at ll o'clock Tuesday morning, thepupils of the schcol filing io «ud being seatedin time to a march played on two pianos.

Maj. H. Frank Wilson, President of the In¬stitute, welcomed the large crowd that com¬

pletely filled the large hall in a few gracefulremarks, aud then the regular program was

takenup It was as follows :

Prayer-Rev. W. C. Power.Icstrumental Duel, op. 31-Mohr -Mi*s

Elster-Overture-Rossini-Miss EdmoDd-ston, Miss Ingram, Miss Sanders, MissStrange.The musical numbera, both instrumental

and vocal, were as classically beautiful com¬

positions as those on the program at the con¬

cert, aod were fqually as well rendered ; con¬

sequently the enjoyment of the audience was

thoroughThe Salutatory by Miss Bertha Strange,

was well conceived, chastely and forcibly ex¬

pressed in clear virile English and was de¬livered in a most pleasing and graceful man

ner that had much of natural eloquence in i'.Miss Georgie Ingram, who received the first,

honor of the class, delivered the valedictory,and to say that the task imposed upon herby the distinguished proficiency she attainedio ber class work, was well performed wouldscarcely be doing justice, but taking the wordin its literal and primary meaning it more

aptly expresses what we would say of theValedictory. It was well thought out, wellwritteo and well delivered, all partaking ofthe individual and, personal charm that isinherent to the graceful and talented youngvaledictorian.The feature of the program, however, was

the address by Col. James Armstrong, thewitty and eloquent orator of Charleston, who,called in only a few days since to take theplace of Hon. H. Cowper Patton, made hisaudience feel that the loss was a gain. Thereis no more pleasant and altogether charmingspeaker within the borders of the State ofSouth Carolina than this same James Arm¬strong, who spoke yesterday. He wandersalong talking without effort and with un-1

conscious eloquence punctured ever and anon

with flashes of wit and humor that are irre-sis tibie. He carries his audience with himaiways and in the guise of merely amusinghis bearers, he ever plants seed of wholesomeinstruction and purest and truest sentiment,

Col. Armstrong's address was a ti eat io hishearers and u will long be remembered as a

day to be marked with a white stone in thehistory of the Sumter Institute, when Col.Armstrong, the South Carolinian, the Irishpatriot and Confederate veteran, deliveredthe annual address.The scholarship medals were awarded to

Miss Adele McLeod in the collegiate depart¬ment and Miss Sadie Muldrow in the primarydepartment The announcement of the awardwas made and the medals presented to theyoung indies by Mr. Hubert G. Osteeu.

Maj. H. Frank Wilson, presented the di¬plomas to the members of the graduatingclass, and made a brief but feeling speech,his theme beiog the future life and opportu¬nities of those to whom the diplomas hadbeen awardedThen came the final number on the pro¬

gram, and the commencement of :9rj was

ended, aud the workaday life of the gradu¬ates begun.The Alumra.- Association held a meeting

immediately after the commencement exer¬cises and routine business was transacted.Mrs. L. A. Brown, the former principal andfounder of the Institute, was present, and ad¬vantage was taken of this by the Alumna-,and H very pretty little incident was the re¬

sult. Miss Nina Moise was chosen as therepresentative of the Association to welcomeMrs Brown back to Sumterand to the Insti¬tuto. This duty she performed so gracefullyand appropriately that Mrs. Brown doubtlessfelt thrice welcome in her old home
