REMBERTS.Rembert's, May 1.-Our section was

-rèsited with a delightful rain last Sat-

urday afternoon-we had what thefarmers call a good season-but justbelow us between Rembert's and Bor-

dens they had a severe rain storm

washing up a good portion of the

Northwestern railroad track at a

point known as Pollard's swamps.

The regular afternoon passengerarrived here at Rembert's that after¬

noon on schedule time, but on .leav¬

ing here ran slowly knowing the dan¬

ger below here after heavy rains and

on reaching Pollard's swamp discov¬

ered the track washed away. Theybacked the train to Rembert's, gotthe section master and hands and re¬

turned to the scene of danger and

worked faithfully with a good force

until near midnight before they could

get over, reaching Sumter1 after 12 m.

and on their return trip to Camdendid not reach Rembert's until 2 a. m.,

and it was only through t eh*6*6*66and it was only through the thought¬fulness of the engineer that saved a

terrible wreck and perhaps many

lives.Your correspondent had the pleas¬

ure of attending Easter services which

were deferred and celebrated on yes¬

terday at Shiloh Episcopal churchnear Hagood. Th church was beau¬

tifully decorated with handsome roses

and lillies, interlaced with green vines

artistically arranged giving much

credit to the ladies of the church and

the children's part added greatly to

the occasion. Rev. Wm. Barnwell de¬

livered a fine sermon after which the

Holy Communion was served. The

church was well filled as a great manystrangers were present. After ser¬

vices my good wife and myself were

delightfully entertained at the hos¬

pitable home and beautiful residence

Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sanders..1 The pretty cottages that have gone

up around Hagood the past year give;^he place quite a city-like appearanceand shows prosperity and enterprise.St Matthews* school will close here

MANCHESTERManchester, April 29.-Cotton

planting is progressing finely with the

good weather we have been having.Corn plowing has commenced in goodearnest. Some few sweet potatosprouts have been set out. We had

fine rains Wednesday which, with the

warm sunshine, is bringing up cotton

nicely. 4Mr. George Lewis, the photographer

of near your city, dined with W. J.

three years, died last Thursday even¬

ing at the home of his son-in-law, M-.

paralysis in the fall of 1903. He was

about 65 or 66 years old and was an

old Confederate soldier, a member

of Company H, with South Carolina

calvary. The interment will be at

Bethel church (Privateer) today at

10 o'clock, a. m., of which church he

has been a member for many years.

He leaves an aged wife, tt.rea sons

and one daughter to mourn his loss.

I fear the peaches are ali (or nearlyso) killed by the freeze of the 17th.

I was mistaken about Mr. J. R.

Griffin moving to Mr. G. P. Ardis'. He

moved from Pinewood to Mr. W. «J.

Pritchard's place, near Mr. W. D.

Osteen's.Sam Wells, colored, of Privateer

who lives near Mr. D. M. Lackey, had

his barn with all of its contents burn¬

of an incendiary.

white o:gandie and looked unusally

pretty. Directly after the ceremony

the bridal party left for Mr. Jackson'shome, near Horatio, where an elegantsupper was served. The bride was

quite a popular young lady and her

PISGAH.Pisgah, May 3.-April has come

md gone and it is very much like the

one of two years ago-cold, wet and

windy. The crops are not as promising as they might be; oats are head¬

ing low and will not equal the crop of

last year. Cotton^ is small, yet some

folks have started to chop out

Peaches still falling. How many will

:emain on the trees is yet to be seen

'ndications point to a repetition of

?ear before last. If correct, not more

lhan ten million of bales of cotton

will be made and the price will be

fair, but let no one deceive themselves.13 to this. Expect to get five cent*,

and act accordingly.The washout on the Northwestern

railroad at Pollard's Old Mill last Sat¬

urday afternoon was a bad one for

some length. Conductor Hall and his

engineer, Mr. Brown, deserve credit

in getting it patched and their train

through to Sumter that night.The crops on each side of the rail¬

road present a bad appearance ano.

will have, in many places, to be

planted over. From the looks of

things in general there, it must have

been a cloudburst like the one that

destroyed the crops of Mr. Woodleynad others a year or so ago.The intolerable noise in the street

Jrom passing vehicles is the best ar

gument to remove the court house to

a more quiet locality. It is almost

Impossible to hear what is going on

except you are near the speakers.A couple of runaway, ride-away or

walk-away couples were stopped last

week here and made happy. One byMr. Kenney, the other by Mr.

Crouch, who was passing throughTell the unhappy souls to come here,

and our ministers will make them ex

tremely happy in a short time, all

things being equal.I wonder what some of the news

papers take the people of this state

for in advocating Hèyward for a third

term? The state is not so poor as

that. Grant tried it and got left,

though to him to the last. No man

will be president or governor but two

terms except by revolution. Wash

ington settled that as to the presi¬dency and precedent as to governor

'company of several Episcopal clergy¬

men on the train yesterday on their

way to Camden, and found them very

pleasant and entertaining.After safely passing the winter

without the grip, your correspondenthas at last got it in royal style.

Thc Close of a Successful School Year.Some School Statistics.

Eishopvflle, April 29.-Exercises at

¿he Bishopville High and Graded.Schools were held in the court houselast evening, April 2Sth.The entertainment consisted oí

charades, drills and recitations.There wert none who finished the

course and no diplomas were awarded.Our school has been efficiently con¬

ducted during this term, especiallythe department of discipline and the

retiring faculty deserves commenda¬tion for their particular insistence

along this particular line.We are tiying the experiment of

electing our trustees by popular vote.

The retiring board got the bill

through the legislature on their own

initiation and offered for the positionin the manner in which they had

created and were defeated to a man,

such is our political consideration.The new board inherits the good

work of the last four years along with

a $20,000 school building erected at a

cost of $11,000, a well stocked library,a $500 piano and also the educationaldestiny of 300 children, who are pre¬cious to the hearts of the patrons.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

Hie Gamewell System Installed. Test¬ed and Xow Ready for Use.

The Gamewell.Electrice Fire Alarm

System has been installed and after

being given a thorough test Fri¬

day afternoon was declared ready forservice. There are tweleve alarm

boxes located as follows:22-Corner Main and Canal.23-Corner Main and Warren.

24.-Corner Washington and Cal¬houn.25-Corner Church and Broad.26-Corner Salem avenue and Cal¬

houn.27-Harby and Hampton avenue.

32-Corner Washington and Lib¬

erty.33.-Corner Bartlett and Council.34-Foot of Sumter steet.35-Corner Main and Bartlett.36-Corner Kendrick and Magnolia.37-Corner Liberty and Levi.When an alrm is sent in the number

of the box is struck by the bell in the

city hall tower and by gongs in eachof the hose wagon houses.To send in an alarm the glass in

the little door on the box should be

broken, the key within turned, un¬

locking the door to the alarm box,then pull down the lever. The personsending in an alarm is expected to re -

main at the box until the hose wagonsarrive to direct the firemen to the fire.

The alarm system is connected with

the Telephone Exchange and an

alarm sent in by telephone will be

promptly transmitted to the hose

wagon houses and the alarm bell will

be rung just as if sent in from a box.

Those who have telephones can sendin a fire alarm quicker by using the.phone than by going to an alarmbox.The penalty for tampering with the

alarm boxes or sending in a false

alarm is sufficiently severe to deter

the mischievous or malicious from

mending in alarm for the fun of it.

to the hospital this morning it wasevident to the attending physicistsi;hat bis case was a very serions one,out they believed that his strong vital¬ity and will power weald assistmaterially in a partial recovery atLeast from the attack. His coi ditiv nremained fair, considering the sever.tyof the attack, during the day, butshortly at ter 9 o'clock be began togrow weaker, his breathing becamemore rapid and is poise lower, termi¬nating in less tliau two hoers in death.The end was peaceful and withoutpain, the general remaining consciousuntil five minutes before be died.Half an hour before death Ger.."Leerecognized his brother, Danial L?e,who came into the room for a momentA pathetic feature of the case is that

although Gen. Lee had a family con¬sistir g of a wife and five children, notone of them was with him at the ii ueof his death. The general was 68 yearsof age.Arrangements for Gen. L°e's fune¬

ral, together with the selection of theplace for interment of the remainswill net be made until after the arri¬val in Washington of Mrs. Lee, whois now on ber way to Washington fromFort Oglethorpe, Ga. Meanwhile thebody will be prepared for burial andwill remain at the Hospital. It ispossible that the body may be laid torest at the National cemetery atArlington, although it is expected thatGen.
