H. Davis, of Clarendon county, killed a penitentiary convict two weeks ago. An account of it is published elsewhere. Mrs. Mary O'Hara, widow of the late John O'Hara, of Manning, died in Colum bia, at the residence of her brothers, Feb. 23rd. W. L. Bass, of Kingstree, is said to have invented a type writer that will be superior to those in use, and can be constructed at about one third the cost. Chester, S. C., is ahead of every other town in the State in one respect, by having a barber shop run by a colored woman, *hich is patronised by the best citizens of the place.-Florence Ts. The Kershaw Gazette says:-One day last week four widows of Confederate soldiers applied at the Auditor's office to have pa pers fixed in order to draw pensions from the State. Their names were Black-Berry Pye and Honie. Hon. C. G. Menminger, who, until his resignation a year ago, had been chairman of the Board of Educaion of Charleston for a third of a century, was honored last week, by having amarble bust of himself placed in the city Council Chamber. Melvin Youngblood, white, was buried alive on Capt. D. S. Hair's plantation at Blackville, last Friday, whilst cleaning out a well. The earth caved in upon him thir ty feet. The body was recovered about 4 o'clock that afternoon, standing erect in one corner under about eight feet of earth. The examination of applicants for the vacant cadetship at West Point was held in Florence Friday. Seven candidates ap peared, and Mr. Chas. D. Miller, of Flor ence, made the highest record, and he has been notified that he will be recommended for the place. His marks were 141 above those made by the highest applicant, which speaks well for Charlie and the Florence Graded School, where he- was educated. Florence Times. Philip Brunson, who at the Feb. (1887) term of court in this county, was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years, for arson, has had his sentence commuted to one year, and on Feb. 21st was released from impris onment. His commutation of sentence was recommended by the foreman of the jury, and by Judge W itherspoon, before whom Brunson was tried. Brunson is a mere child, only ten or twelve years old. Western Republicans are working to have the nominee of their party for the Presiden cy to come from their section. Judge Gre sham and Robert Lincoln, both from Illi nois, are leading in popular favor though neither of them is an aggressive candidate. Their plan is to run in as dark horses. Sen ator Harrison, cf Indiana, is turning every stone in his State that will help him to se cure a solid delegation to the Convention. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, and Senator Al lison, of Iowa, are said to be carefully feel ing their way. According to Judge Wallace, one of the greatest causes of the miscarriage of justice in our courts is false swearing from the wit ness stand. Thisis undoubtedly true. Any one familiar with court room scenes knows how prevalent among the lower classes of people is the idea that to stand by a friend who is in trouble means to go upon the wit ness stand and deliberality perjure himself in his friend's behalf. The teaching of the church and the school is not sufficient of itself to eradicate this evil. A few well-di rected indictments for perjury will do much to clear the .moral atmosphere of the court room.-Colwnibia Register. A FE!W BARGAINS AT F. LEVI'S. Sumter, . . C. Fruit of Loem at 9 cents.

LEVI'S. *Shooting a Convict: CoLTYxBL&, February -24.- -Special: The body of Joe Berry, a negro desperado. thief, and escaped convict, was brought to the 1eitentalry this morning by Mr. R. H. Davis, the manager of the State farm on seegers's Big Lake Plantation. About 10 o'clock last Wednesday night, while on his way from Mr. Lyke's place to Big Lake, Mr. Davis came face to face with Berry walking on the track of the South Carolina Railway in the direction of Columbia. Mr. Davis says that he recognized him at onca, but asked him his name and ordered him to halt. This Bery refused to do and start ed offon arunl. Mr. Davis by this time had dismounted and as Berry started he ired at him. The shot seeming to have no effect he fired again. Berry, having reach ed the top of the little cut in which they were, ran down through a cotton patch, and Mr. Davis followmng sent a third bullet at him. He fell, but before he could be reach ed got up and ran off again. Mr. Davis ired at him the fourth time, and although he made dihli'ent search for him could not find him. He then went to Mr. Welsh, who lived near by, and told him that he had shot Joe Berry, and asked him to have search made for him in the morning and let him know the result. The body was discovered in the morning within thirty '.teps of the place where Davis had last seen? him. A jury was empanelled by Trial Justice Lykes, and an inquest was held on the body last night. The verdict of the jury was that the shooting was justifiable. As Joe Berry, he was sent to the Peniten tiary for three yeas, in March, 1875, for burglary and larceny committed in Marion County. As Henry Johnson, he was sen tenced to two years imprisonment in Sep. tembor, 1882, for burglary and larceny com mitted in Lexington County, and as John Wiiams he was sentenced to nine years imprisonment in April 1888 for burglary and larceny, grand and petit lanceny of live stock, (three cases,) comnnitted in Richland County. He escaped from the Columbia Canal October20. 1888, and was recaptured by Polieman Bartin near Rabb's row in this city, on the 21st of December, 1886. He escaped from the Blackvile and New berry Railroad on the 2'Zth of August, 1887, and since that time has terrorized the color ed peo in almost the whole of the lower pato hscounty. He was reconzdby them all as a desperate fellow. When the body wasfound there was an open knife lenched in his right hand. showing that he had determined to defend himself if his pursuer came to close quarters. Mr. Davis said that all the colored people in the neighborhood were rejoiced to hear of his death, and~ while assisting to put the body in. a wagn this morming, some, of them remarke that they were shipping him out of that section with a great deal of Lynch Law Near Columbia. Couxon, S. C., Feb. 24.-An attempt was made in this county Wednesday night by a gang of unknown men to cremate a family alive. A white man, William My ers, had been liv~ with a colored woman and had several 'idren. A party, to pun ish this conduct, surrounded the house, barred up all doors and windows on the outside, and set the building on fire in sev eiral places. An axe was in the house, and with this Myers cut a hole in the door in time to save himself and the other inmates from a terrible death, but they were severe ly burned. "Only a Little Hillock." The Columbia Register says, The Register was at first disposed to regard the Charles ton World's advocacy of D. B. Hill for Pres ident as somewhat on a par with the Regis ter's advocacy of the great and good Ccorge W. Childs. But the World actually seems to be in earnest, such being the case, it will permit an older if not wiser journal to sug gest that South Carolina is very poor mis sionary ground either for protection or the candidacy of David B. Hill against Grover Cleveland. The Register believes that it will have the practically solid South Carolina behind its work for Cleveland, Tariff Reform, Civil Service Reform, and Victory I Hill makes a good Governor of New York, but gauged by the Presidential standard, he is only a little hillock. We can't see him. Romeopathic Advertising Will Not Pay. One of the shrewdest and most respected of the leading American advertisers is P. T. Barnum. He has always been considered a man who understood how to advertise, and he ascribes his success in accumulating $1,000,000 in twelve years to unlimited ad vertising. He says: "Whatever your occu pation or calling may be, if it needs su port from the public, advertise it thorough. ly in the public press. A homeopathic dose of advertising will not pay. It is like half a dose of physic, making the patient sick, but effecting nothing. Administer liberal ly, and the cure for a lack of business will be sure and permanent. A man must have a thick skull who cannot see that the cheap est and best mdium through which to speak to the public is the newspapers. Put on the ap rance of business, and generally the rlty will follow." Was There Sufficient Reasoni The cases against the Bowmans and Keelses have all been continued on the ground of non-attendance of material wit nesses for the defense. The Attorney General objected that the affidavits do not state that due diligence has been exercised, that the motion was not to secure delay. But the Judge said that he assumed that the declar ation had been made in good faith, and under the present practice of courtshe could not force the case to trial. The diligence used by the defense does not seem to be very exhaustive. The re port of the dews and Courier statesthat when Mr. Moise read the name of Mr. G. C. Ba cot, as a material witness who could not be found, the Solicitor remarked that he had just met Mr. Bacot at the hotel. 'Again, it was alleged that Capt. Dawson, as editor of the sews and Courier, was a most important witness, and could not be found; and yet on the same day Capt. Dawson was reported by the ews and Courier as being in Charles ton and making a speech. If it be the custom to grant a continuance for a term, of course, then no affidavits are necessary; but if diligent search be a pre requisite for continuance, the public may judge to what extent it was complied with in the present instance. The Register does not desire to prejudice the case. It merely wishes to call attention to it.-Columbia Reg ister. A Sensation of the First Water. The Chronicle a few days ago briefly men tioned the marriage at Gaffney City, on the Air Line Road, of Dr. Atkinson, a druggist of Chester, S. C., to Miss Florene Little, the belle of Gaffney. They were married at Black's Station, about 1 o'clock on the night of February 12th, and it was thought at the time that there was something peculiar about the marriage, and so there was. Dr. Atkinson's bride had been married a few days before to another man. It seems that February 5th was the day set for the mar riage of Dr. Atkinson and Miss Little. He reached Gaffney on the evening of the 4th, andfound that his intended had gone bug gy riding with a young man named Mintz, who was one of her former sweethearts. The par did not return until next morning, and D. Atkinson, incensed at the conduct of the young lady, returned to his home. She began a correspondence with him and mut ual explanations and a reconciliation follow ed. It was arranged that they should meet at Black's station and be united in the bcnds of matrimony. The ceremony was per formed as already mentioned, and Dr. At kison and his bride went on to their future home in Chester. It has since transpired that the-young lady was married to Mintz on the occasion of the buggy ride. It is said that they went to the residence of Rev. J. G. Carter and were married by him, the minister agreeing to a pledge of secrecy for a term of two years. Groom N~o 1, it is said, is under age, but claims that Miss Little belongs to him, as she married him first.-Charlotte Chronicle. TORPID LIVER Is known by these marked peculiarities: 1.

When tils is obstructed It results in - . - BILIOUSNESS, which, if neglected, soon leads to serious diseases. Simmons Liver Regulatorexerts a most felicitous influence over every kind or biliousness. It restores the Liver to propr working order, regulates the seere tion of bile and puts the digestiv'e organs in such condition that they can do their best work. After takmngthis medicinle no one will say, "I am bilious.'' "I have been subject to severe spells of Con gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of taking from 35 to grains of calomnel which gen erally laid me up for three or four days. Lately I have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator. which gave me relief without any interruption to business."--J. Huco, hiiddleport, Ohio. has our Z stamp in red on front of \Vrapper -J.H.
