Arrested.
Polieceman W. W. Wheeler arrest
ed a horse thief by the name of Col

stolen a horse from Mr. Wiggins, near
Sumter city, and the arrest was made
on Thursday night. The young
was about twenty-three years old.

The Players.
Quite a large and respectable

Dramatic Company at the Opera

nights. The playing ts excellent for
the amount of money invested be the
spectator. Certainly especial praise
should be accorded Mr. McElreth for
his artistic performance of his work.
We advise our readers to attend these

Attention is directed to the adver
tisement of Capt. T. J. Brannon, who
proposes to take a number of board
ers from the first of April next The
location isonoofthe healthiest and
most convenient to the business por

best of eating, comfortable quarters
are furnished. Those who want a
desirable lodging place had better call
on Capt. T. J. Brannon.
A Big Blaze.
On Sunday night about t o’clock
the quiet of a Sabbath night was dis
turbed by the alarm of the fire bell.
People rushed to their doom and win-
dows and saw ascending an im
mense sheet of flame illuminate the
heart of the business pan of the city.
Soon an immense crowd had hasten
ed to the scene, and the fire compa
nies were promptly at work. Wil
lett’s immense livery stables proved
to bo the building on fire. In a very
few moments the entire wooden
structure was a mass of seething, roar
ing flames.The attempt to extinguish
the flames were utterly futile. AH
the brave firemen could do was to so
subdue the devouring element as to
save the valuable piles of brick build-
ingsand wooden dwellings. Fora
While, so strong was the wind and so
fiercely blew the showers of sparks
that this seemed rather doubtful of
success. Still the two steamers be
gan to get in their steady work, and
the crowd felt a kind or comfort and
protection as they heard above the
shoals of the people, and above the
roar of the flames the steady whining
of the engines and saw them shake
under thepressure placed upon them.
Several streams of water soon had
the burning building under complete
control, and the other property was
safe.
Mr. Willett succeeded in extricat
ing all his stock, and when they rush
ed recklessly through the streets, ter
rified and even frenzied, they were
unharmed. The building was the
property of Mr. J. A. Kendrick, and
was only insured for $250. The loss
must have been several thousand
dollars.
Hew the stable caught was a mys
tery. Some think It caught from the
stove in the office. This is hardly
probable as the stove was almost
cold when removed. If it was the
work of an incendiary, we must
loathe his act wo must respect his
courage, thus to set fire to such a
large building on a pjpular thorough
fare, so early in the night Such
courage deserves to have even a
greater test put to it, Rnd the man
who would thus run into danger
should be given an opportunity to
stand firm as the hangman’s trap
was kicked from under him.

Oar Artesian Well Again.
Yesterday afternoon work was re
sumed on tho artesian well under the
management of Mr. J. J. Sloan, who
is thououghly capable of the work he
has undertaken. The well is now
about 700 feet deep and it Is thought
that a sufficient stream can be reached
within a few hundred feet. The
City Council have taken the matter
in hand and have gone at it with a
determination to win and we hope in
a few days to see a stream of pure wa

When Advertlsln is Wanted.
Tho Bridgeport Post strikes the
nail on the head when it says:
“There’s nothing on earth so mys
teriously funny as a newspaper ad
vertisement. The prime, first, last,
and all the time, object of an adver
tisement is to draw custom. It is
not, was not, and never will be de
signed for any other human purpose,
80 the merchant waits till the busy
season comes, and bis store is
of customers he can’t get his hat off,
and then he rushes to the newspapers
and puts in his advertisement. When
the dull season gets along and there
no trade, and he wants to sell goods
bad he can’t pay his rent, he takes
out his advertisement.] (That is,
of them do, but occasionally a level
headed merchant puts in a bigger
and scoops all the business, while his
neighbors are making mortgages
pay the gas bill. There are times
when you couldn’t stop people from
buying everything in the store if you
planted a cannon behind the door,
and that is the time the advertise
ment ]B sent oat on its holy mission.
It makes light work for the advertise
ment, for achalksign on the side
walk could do all that was needed
and have holiday six days In the
week, but who wants to favor
vertisement? They are built to do
hard work, and Bhould be sent out in
the dull days when a customer has to
be knocked down with hard facts and
kicked insensible with bankrupt
ductions and dragged in with irresis
tible slaughter of prices before he will
spend a cent. That’s the aim and
end of an advertisement, and if yon
open a store, don’t try to get
them to como when they are already
sticking out of the windows, but give
them your advertisement right be
tween the two eyes in the dull
son, and you will wax rich and own
fast horse, and perhaps be able to
smoke a good cigar once or twice
year. Write this down where you’ll
fall over it every day: The time to
draw business is when you want
business,anil not when you have more
business than you can attend to
already.”

A Pleasant Hour.
According to previous arrangement
with a party of friends from Macon
Republican representative took
the 10:30 train Tuesday for our neigh
boring city Albany, where we spent
few delightful hours with the mem
bers of the Press and a few of tho kind
citizens of the Artesian city. The
Press was well represented and as the
train halted into Smithville, a com
mittee from Albany greeted us and
badged us for tho excursion to tho
Cresent city. As our train rolled in-
the Artesian City with its precious
cargo there was a committee to re
ceive the editors and their ladies and
place them in carriages, furnished by
tho citizens,and drove them over their
beautiful little city. Albany can boast
six churches and six Artesian
wells, and as many generous, M-hole
sou led people as any city we know of.
Afters delightful ride the visitors were
received by a committee of ladies at
the Artesian House who did their
part well. When their guest were in
