ARTHUR'S ACCESSION".
There are events in the course of nations
life which are so prominent in their effect
upon the morals or politics of the populace a
to be justly regarded criteria of its progress
The history of a nation is but a summary c
such events, and as individual character i
measured by the nature of a limited numbe
of actions, so national character may be fairly
judged by a few events of unusual importanc
together with their effects upon the pu bli
mind.
The attempted assassiflfction of the Presiden
is an event which will mark the year of J SS!
in our future history, and although thc fou
deed was perpetrated by a lunatic, it reflect:
discredit upon .ihe nation. The universa
condemnation of the deed and the wide-spreac
sympathy which has been manifested for Mr
Garfield in every part of the Uiron, evinces i
lore for law, order and morals, whicb i;
gratifying to every good citizen, and forms :
striking contrast with Russian loyalty, d'^rinj
a similar state of affairs. It shows an .. ich
ment for our Republican government wirier,
the bitterness engendered by the struggle foi
snpreraacy on the part of the two great politi?
cal factions, had almost rendered doubtful.
It is anotherforcible attestation of the strength
and liberality of our government, and a prool
that its foundations were laid in justice and
wisdom. Although many innovations have
been made by the Republican party upon its
principles as conceived by its founders, lhere
is still a sufficiency of its original principles
to make it the best government the world ever
saw.
There are many who predict multifarious
troutilcs in the event of the Picsident's death,
(which is almost reduced to a certainty.) and
the inauguration of Vice-President Arthur as
an event which will produce the most disas?
trous results, especially to thc South ; but
there is no reason to believe that a greater
change could possibly occur than bas fre?
quently been occasioned by a change of rulers.
We believe that Mr. Arthur will take the
reins of government without occasioning a
serious perturbation in course of affairs. A
government which has lived through eight
years of Republican administration tinder
Grant and his cabinet will scarcely succumb
to the incompetency of Mr. Arthur.

The Sumter Graded School
while our Town is being improved in a
material way by the new Railroad and Fac?
tory, and buildings going up on all sides, it
is very gratifying to state that those who have
charge of the mental improvement of our
children, are up to the times.
Mr. Rhame and his School Board, with the
concurrence of the Trustees of Sumter School
District have organized a Graded School.
It will have four grtfdes of scholars.
1st.-The Classical Department will be
composed entirely of boys of this School Dis?
trict, with the privilege of any bo vs of other
School Districts being entered-under charge
of Prof. W. S. Durham.
2d.-The Higher English, of girls-under
charge of Mrs. L. E. Stei.nmeyer.
3rd.-Intermediate English, of girls-under
charge of Miss Wilson.
4th.-Lo wer English, of girls-under charge
of Miss J. H. Rice.
The Graded School will open in the new
school building,-3d of October, and continue
for five months, under the Common School
fund-that is, tuition will be free, except
that the scholars iu the classical department
will pay S2 and $2.50 per month, according !
to grade. j
From 1st March the School will bc contin- j
ued upon the same system, fo;-four months j
longer, except that patrons will have to pay |
tuition iorali scholars: which, however, will ?
be comparatively small.
The School Board are exerting themselves j
to get bein from the Peabodv fund, with a I
fair prospect of success. If they succeed,
there will be little or no tuition for the whole i
nine months.
Professor Durham who will be Principal of j
the School, comes with the highest recom- j
mendations. and large experience as a teacher, j
both of boys and girls. {
We hope that Sumter will now be abreasi j
with ?lie towns of the upper country in this j
matter of higher Common School Education. I
Dr. Bliss Manipulating the Stock j
Market.
-o- !
Fora longtime intimations through the j
press have been made that somebody connect- |
ed with ;he President's sick-room was not j
toting lViir-in other words, it was discovered j
that the stock brokers got the points of the j
situation in advance of the official bulk-tins, j
Here is a solution of the difficulty, taken from '
thc Philadelphia Times:
<;A curious story is afloat here anent Bliss !
it is said that on the nay that Drs. Agnew j
and Hamilton were first sent for. which was j
on the occasion of the President's relapse, j
Bliss was seen to <!rive rapidly dow? rvoni ?
the White House and enter Middlitton's Bank. !
opposite the Western Union telegraph office* j
on F.. street. A short time afterwards thc '
critical condition of the Presidc-ni became i
public. Since that time Dr. Bliss has been ?
driving into this broker's cilice every day j
immediately after examinations rind before ?
the issue of the bulletins. There may le !
nothing in this, but it has been suggestive to j
to a srood many people, and the subject < f j
much:speculation uncomplimentary to B'i-s. j
While it luis been charged that reputable j
correspondents were using their information j
obtained ?t the While House to influence the '
stock market, it is worth while to note these I
suspicions. There is a private wireiu Middle- j
ton's communicating with Wall street. No-I
body kuows better than Dr. Bliss the market- j
able value of the foreknowledge of what is to ?
be made public. It is not likely that he j
would distort a bulletin Jo make nioner, but
lhere is noticing crimina! in making a few i
hundreds on margins every day on a ?late of '
fluctuating uncertainty, or on furnishing ?
pointers. There are honest people who are j
ii.cl i ned to believe that the managing physi- j
cian has made a good thing of ?r. ?
This is the charlatan and trickster with j
whom such eminent gentleman as Drs. Agnew 1
and Hamilton have been crropelled to associate j
on:-terms of'equality; Wc learn from a re-!
liable and well informed source that he had
been expelled from the Washington Medical
Society for unp ofesional practices, and had
only been restored to membership a short
time before the assassination, and yet ho was
allowed full power to trifle with a life of
such inestimable value to fifty millions of
people.-Aiken Jovrnal.
THE PRESIDENT.
-o
A Slight Change for the Better.
-o
WASHINGTON-, D. C.. August 28.-The situ?
ation this evening appears to justify thc con?
clusion that the President has, all things
considered, passed the most favorable Sunday
of any for the last four weeks. ITe is unques?
tionably in a weaker state, but thc progress
or change made has been in the right direc?
tion. He passed a bad night Friday night,
but held his own during Saturday, and Sat?
urday night he rallied somewhat and eat a
piece of milk toast prepared by his wife.
Thc following clipped from our extra of
yesterday is the latest intelligence up to the
liour of going to press :
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 29-S.30 A. M.
President's symptoms this morning are as
favorable as yesterday at same hour. Ile
slept, awakening at intervals, greater part of
the night. At these intervals he took and
retained liquid nourishment administered.
His mind continues perfectly clear. Pulse
100; Temperature 93.5 ; Respiration J 7.
BLISS AND OTHERS.
LATER.
The following is the official bulletin received
at Sumter at 9.30 this morning :
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-8.30 A. M -The
President slept the greater part of the night,
awakening at intervals, and retaining liquid
nourishment administered. His general con?
dition this morning is about the same as same
hour yesterday. Pulse 102; Temperature 98.5;
Respiration IS. BLISS & OTHERS.
The last Williamsburg Herald contains the
valedictory of Mr. H. J. Moroso: whe has re?
turned to the Stage, and also the salutatory
of Mr. H. M. Gilbert who has succeeded him.
The paper is now published and edited by
Cunningham & Gilbert.

Tlie cases, eight in number, against Red?
mond, the moonshiner, came up last Thurs?
day at Greenville. He made no defence, and
verdicts were rendered against him in all the j
cases. Sentence has not yet been passed upon j
him. A free pass to Albany is expected.
Our Dying President-Ignorance j
and Bliss the Cause. ^
Dr. Hammond, a surgeon of acknowledged I
professional fame, ascribes the whole difficulty i
of Gen. Garfield's present condition to the !
ignorance and malpractice of the first forty- ?
eight hours. We have the pleasure of know- j
ing ar. officer of the United Stales army who j
concedes to Dr. Hammond all the honor of a j
surgeon which could be claimed for him, and j
who agrees with us that if President Garfield !
had beeu an ordinary patient, submitted to j
the treatment of some plain but scientific
physician, he would probably be uow a well |
man.
There can be no doubt that if the advice of I
Dr. Marion Sims had been followed the Pres?
ident would have been a well man to-day. !
Dr. Sims telegraphed from Paris soon after j
the assassination, to cut ont the ball. His j
advice was laughed at by Bliss and others, j
and called heroic treatment. But that should i
have been the course, and everybody now j
sccs it when, alas ! wc fear too late. ?
A well informed scientific friend of ours j
states what we have never seen in print before |
rfnd we therefore give it to the readers of the j
Journal and Review. He says: "IfI. mis?
take not the Dr. D. K. Bliss who has gained !
such unenviable uotority as the boss of the j
medical corps who have so wofully misman- j
aged the President's case is the same Dr. Bliss I
who. some years ago, monopolized the Con- j
durango business, and duped his patients to ?
the extent of a fortune, insisting that his im- |
ported Can copiant was the only genuine, and j
very different from what the druggists import- j
ed. When the reputation of Condurango
died out the doctor did not follow suit, but, j
unless I am misinformed, took lo more objec?
tionable and less professionale practices.''
This is from a gentleman ci science, and of the
highest moral and social standing, and there?
fore entitled to credit. In other words, the life
of a man holding the highest executive office
in thc world has been confided to a quack, i
who, by his insolence and presumption, has j
forced science and merit to stand back, while
be cut his pranks and capers around a man
upon whom the sympathies and prayers of a
great nation are concentrated. Verily a fool?
ish thing has been done, and the results may
be terrible. Nothing can save him but a
strong constitution, given by Almighty God, j
perhaps, to meet this very crisis. Ignorance j
has done its worst. Science can now do noth- j
ing. When a man loses eighty pounds of j
flesh in six weeks, and can't receive food iu j
the natural way, common sense teaches that
there is small hope, and nothing very short j
of a miracle can save. Even now it is too i
late to establish thc reign of common sense, j
Let such men as Agnew, Hamilton, Wales!
and Hammond have full swing. Any one of ?
them is better than the four combined, lt is j
a bad thing to collect doctors together in !
groups; they are a jealous, imp'.rio'JS set, j
and can't bear contradiction from each other, j
therefore it is better to give one mao his ?
own way and let him follow it to the j
end.
We publish these facts and views for the j
benefit of our readers, and they can take them
for what they are worth.-Aileen Journal and \
Rcvieic.
The Official Returns;
Gov. Jarvis has issued a proclamation an j
nouncing the vote for and against prohibition
in the recent elections in North Carolina, j
The official majority is 116.072 votes. The j
vote for prohibition was 48,001 and against j
104,133. In the County of Wilson four pre- j
cincts were thrown out which cast 43 votes j
for prohibition and SG4 against it. No official j
returns were received from Asbe County, and |
hence it was not counted, but the unofficial
returns gives 200 for aud 3,328 against the
bill. Adding thc majority in Asbe and the
rejected majority iu Wilson the uuofficial to?
tals will stand : 48,370 for prohibition aud
166,325 in a total vote of 214.695. The??r? j
and Observer makes some interesting comments !
on this result. Ii says :
Wc suppose that 8,000 Republicans may
have voted for prohibition, leaving perhaps, |
40,000 Democratic supporters of that side. !
Of the 106.425 who voted against the meas- ;
ure, perhaps 75.000 wcr.c Democrats and j
91,000 Republicans. To be sure these arc j
only surmises, founded on the normal strength !
of the parties and taking it for granted that J
the 30,000 voters who did not vote were about ?
equally divided between the parties. Wc as- j
sume that the 214.000 votes cast represent ; ,
114.(100 Democrats abd 100,000 Republicans, j
Aud so it appears that nearly twice as many ?
Democrats voted against the bill as for it, j i
ar.d more than eleven. Repu!.Heans voted j
against ii where one voted for it., These eal- i
cuiations are, however, more curious limn j
profitable, fur the whole matter is mere spec- I
u'ation. All that we know is that thc ma-j
jo ri: y approximates 120.000.

social event. The couple did not live hap- ?
pily. He was dissipated aud stayed out late, \
anubis wife became disheartened. On Sat-!

They quarrelled in their bed-room and he '
left lier. .She took iii? revolver from a bu- j

had ?ter hat on. Without speaking again !
she died at midnight. Owing lo thc social [

The Sumter Graded School.
It will be a source of gratification to tbe
friends of education to know that the Trustees
of Sumter District have succeeded in making
arrangements for opening a first class
School in our midst. Mr. Durham, the
Principal, will have charge of Classics and
Higher English, and the Trustees frei warran?
ted, from the flattering testimonials they have
received of this gentleman's ability as a teactr
er, in assuring thc patrons that thc schoo
will bea success. Two of the Assistants are
known to us all, the third is a lady of high
attainments who has just completed a course
of studies at the Normal School ic Charles?
ton.
We ask a generous support for our school.
It will run five months with the public funds,
and four more by private assistaucc. But

SALUDA, N. C., August 26, 1881.
Dear Editer: Saluda is one of the coolest
and most pleasant villages in these mountains.
It is, I think, somewhat higher than Ilender
sonville. Tryon Mountain, about T or S miles
distant, is one of the loftiest peaks of the Blue ?
Ridge, and is distinguished from its brothers
by three trees on its otherwise bare summit.
The view from the top, easily accessible from
the western side, steep and wearisome from
the eastern, is perfectly grand. I have been
on most of thc peaks in the vicinity of Hen
dersonville, and also on Caesar's Head, but j
have seen nothing to compare with the view
from Tryon Mountain, except, of course, that
from Casar's Head.
Our party, which consists of four, were in j
Greenville for several days, and we were as?
tonished at the great progress that very enter?
prising city has made within the last few
years. Indeed, prior to the building of thc j
Air Line Railroad, Greenville was quite a small i
place ; but that Road, which opened the wa}- |
to th( West, brought Greenville lo notice, j
and now it is one of, if not the, most flourish?
ing places in South Carolina. It is built on
a great many hills, and the views in and
around the city are very fine. Especially so
is that of Forman University from Main street
near the Court House. The Blue Ridge can j
be plainly seen from the lower of the Univer- j
sity, and Paris Mountain is visible from Main ?
street, being only 7 miles distant. Reedy j
River rons through the centre of the city.
During our stav we met several of our I
Sumter and Bishopville friends, and you can j
imagine how delighted wc were to see them.
From Greenville we went to Hcndersonville,
via. Spartanburg, and from H. to this place.
Wc will remain here for a few days, when we
go back to Hendersonville, and from that
point to Asheville, and hope to write you
another letter from the latter place and give
you my impressions, as it is considered a
growing town and one which will be very
iarge in a few years.
Yours truly, B. E. P.
Thc I'sual Result.
It is not to bc denied that a good yowing ;
machin" is one of the most important appurten- |
an ces ef thc modern household.
We thought we had a g?.od machino in cur j
household until or.c day the agent of tho New \
Ilvinc presented himself at our door and pro- j
cceded to deliver an oration upon its character- I
istic merits.
"But," we answered, '"'our machine servos MS j
nicely and suits us well, and we do not care for
another."
Til" agent, however, was persistent, and
finally begged tho privilege of leaving one of
his machines with us, "for thc ladies to try."
The request was not unreasonable, so we?
era ri ted it-but more to oblige the agent than
anything else; for we really did nut want the j
machine, and had not the remotest idea of buy?
ing it.
Thc machino om-e in the house, it was natur- j
al that the ladies should look it over. They j
did so. nnd as a consequence fell in love with \
it. They say that.without the .?lightest wish I
to decry or disparage any other machine, this, ?
all things t-on.-iden-d, v\ in their opinion, tiie j
most desirable one to bc had.
Thc upshot of ?he whole matter was that thc j
old machine was disposed of, and the ''Light
Running New Home" installed in our house?
hold-a very fair and satisfactory arrangement
being made with tho agent.
It is pronounced a genuine beauty and a real
comfort, and "our folks" wantod us to tell other
folks about it.
This unrivalled machine is manufactured by
JOHNSON, CLARK & CO , 30 Union Square,
New York, who wish us to say that ali who
will send for their new illustrated catalogue
and enclose their advertisement (printed on
another page J will receive a set of fancy adver?
sing novelties, of value to those collecting cards,
&c.

Wicked for Clergymen.
Rev.-, Washington, D. C., writes : I
believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for
clergymen or other public men to be led into
giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile
stuffs called medicines, but when a really
meritorious article made of valuable remedies
known to all, that ail physicians use and trust
in daily, we should freely commend it. I
therefore cheerfully and heartily commend
Hop Hitters for the good it has done me and
my friends, firmly believing they have no
equal for family use. I will not be without
them."-Nexc York Baptist Weekly.
In answer to the question : "Where would
man be without woman ?" an exchange says
"Some would be out of trouble aud some out
of debt, but most of us would bc out at* the
scat of our breeches." That is so. Did you
ever see au old bachelor trying to sew on a
patch.
Ayer's Pills are a general favorite, because j
of their powerful yet gentle operation. Mcdi- j

constitutions.

OBITUARY.
DIKD on the 31st July, ISSI. SUSAN
EMMA, daughter, of T. P. and Annie Mc?
Queen, of Sumter, S. C.
Thc deceased was born on the 15th day of
June. 18G4, and was blooming into beautiful
womanhood when death claimed her as his
own.
Susan Emma'3 mind was unusually bright
and acquiring, and her fond parents looked
forward with pride and pleasure to thc ful?
filment of their most cherished wishes in thc
future life of their lovely daughter, but alas !
for their blighted hopes, they now lie in thc
cold grave with the dead. Timid and retir?
ing in disposition, she made but little display
before the world, and it was only to those she
loved that ber true character was manifested.
The writer will long miss her bright face
in thc Sunday School, where her punctual
attendance, perfect lessons and quiet atten?
tion endeared her to him and made her one
among his most interesting pupils. She died
trusting in her Savior, and sorrowing friends
have one more link binding them to the
'Land or Rest." R.
DIED, August IS, ISSI, at his residence in
Lower Salem, Clarendon Countv, S. C., after
a few days of illness. DAVID E. DuBOSE.
aged 31 years, 6 months and 7 days.
Just in the prime of life, just with the full
bloom of vigorous manhood, with his plans
for life all laid ont before him, and working
diligently for their execution ; looking for?
ward with confidence to their ralization and
the consequent benefits to be derived there?
from by his family, the near future was full
of hope for our departed friend. Dui., alas!
how vain are human expectations ; man may
plan, and it is his duty to plan and labor to
execute his plans ; our friend, when the dread
summons came, was found in thc active dis?
charge of his duty, laboring to provide for
his loved ones, his wife and six children, an?
ticipating for them many advantages in the
future. To them, his death is a heavy calam?
ity to the. community, a serious loss, as he
was a good friend, a kind neighbor and a
useful citizen. Thc whole community mourn i
his loss, and all deeply and sincerely sympa?
thize with his bereaved and afflicted family
who are overwhelmed in grief by the sudden?
ness of the great calamity which has over?
taken them. A FRIEND.
