The Salvation Army: is said to be preparing for a Southern raid. Well v we would rather those cranks would ? - gi go elsewhere. We strongly doubt if the cause of religion is strengthened by such means. Christianity does not need_ the adventitious aid of ridiculous trappings and senseless parades to make it attractive. The Salvation Army ought to disband. Election frauds m Ohio were simply % atrocious daring the late election. Both sides endeavored to outcheat the other, and in Ciccinnati, especially, the Judges of election are utterly at sea as to the real results. The great wonder is that all this rascality should happen in John Sherman's State. We do not see how he manages to breath the air polluted with so much fraud. Two of the lawyers in the Ferguson I trial nt Abbeville attacked the newspa? pers almost as savagely as Ferguson did Benedict when the m order occurred. We ponder if those gentlemen were afflicted with petit mal or was it grand mal which was the moving cause of their reckless onslaught upon newspaper criticism. Of course it was not done with, malice, for like their client they are incapable of that naughty feeling. Qen. Geo. B.

A COUNTY WANTS] The Grand Jury of Clarendon Cow in their presentment took strong grot against the Trial Justice system ; a if the opinion about the Justices of t County, as expressed by the Manni Times, is correct, there is abund; reason for their opposition. The Til says : *'It is apparent to every obser that Trial Justices in Clarendon Coun aa a whole, are an ignominious faila Recent events have disclosed the f that more than one of these positic are occupied by mea whose ignorai can only be compared to the conten and ridicule measured to them and th Courts." That paper endorses the recomrae dation of the presentment favori County Courts, but suggests that t present system could be materially i proved. "Increase the salary of the office, a give it to a man oi sound sense a education and let the practice cease making a Trial Justice out of an ige rant boor, because he is the friend ol Senator or chum of a Representative is the suggestion of the Times, and \ think it very good. We see that Grand Juries in a nm ber of counties are in accord on tl matter, and a change of some sort much desired. We suggested, two years ago, tl economic advantages of a County Com Observation has strengthened our vie' as torts advantages. We believe sn* a change would discourage petty lit ig tion, and the contempt now felt and e; pressed for the administration of tri justice would give place to the respe always manifested towards a proper ei forcement law. mm .? * $ ? wm LAST TUESDAY'S ELECTION! The outcome of the elections of ti 3rd instant was a surprise to many. New York gave a plurality of ten ( twelve thousand to the Democrat: State ticket, but the Republicans hav the Legislature by a majority of moi t^a-twenty on joint ballot. In Yirgiuia, the victory was magni Scent. The Democrats were successft both as to the Governor and Legislatur ind Mahone will be telS^fed to privat life aa-s?oT?s his present term as Sen itor expires. Mississippi elected the full Demo sratic ticket, though the vote was light ;here being no opposition. Pennsylvania elected Quay, Itepub [ican, State Treasurer by 30,000 ma iority. But little iuterest was showi n the election. In Maryland, of course, the Demo ?rats were successful. The r?gulai :icket was opposed by an Independen >ae, and we are inclined to regret thal ;he Independents were not elected, Maryland is ring-cursed aud ought tc ?e reformed. Connecticut and New Jersey both elected Legislatures, and both are Re? publican by small majorities. Iowa went Republican as usual, hough the majority was small. The contest in Massachusetts was spiritless. Governor Robinson (Rep.) vas elected by a plurality somewhat ?maller than last year. In Colorado the Democratic ticket vas elected ; while Nebraska went as ?sual, to the Republicans. The Democratic victories in Virginia md New York were the chief surprises. The Democrats were sure of Virginia, )ut did not anticipate so complete a rictory. In New York the Republicans vere confideut of success. The muir vamps had all returned to their first ove, and the ice-berg candidate, Dav mport, expected to have a walk-over. Their disappointment is correspoud ngly increased by these high hopes. lYe think the result the strongest pos? ible endorsement of Cleveland's ad? ministration, and feel gratified accord? ingly. 0 - - -?4?- -? -- A Brilliant Affair. The wedding of Miss Williams, laughter of Mr. George W. Williams )f Charleston, and Mr. Patrick Cal? houn of Georgia was a tremendous social event in Charleston last week. The correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says : The Calhoun-Williams wedding was the town topic yesterday and last night. At dark the Williams mansion was a blaze of gas jets 'from turret to foun? dation stone.' This house is the finest residence in South Carolina, and will sompare favorably with any iu the South. It is surrounded by a garden of rare and curious flowers, which is kept as carefully as a parlor. Tho evening was warm, and the immense hall doors were thrown open, followed by strains of soft bewitching music. Thc scene disclosed was romantic and enehauticg in the extrem?. Long rows of many-colored chande? liers and glittering candelabra painted the tessellated panels ?md mossaic floors with all the variegated colors of the rainbow, while the subdued light from windows high and luw shod a soft ra? diance on the rich colored flowers iu the garden which one could almost im agine, were exhaling their sweetest odors io retare. Between the large drawing rooms on either side the hall, handsome men and richly-dressed ladies flitted to and fro, while the bright faces aud nerve-soothing music, with lamps above and laughter below, im? parted to the whole scene an air of the unusual and the beautiful, which can be compared to nothing better than our Bewi-cooception vf the magic-lit dells of the geni-i, w? read of ?tf the Arabian Nights. The-street in front of the house was-crowded with elegant equipages and liveried grooms. The pavements were literally packed with many hundred people, the ladies predominating in number, determined to view from the outside, at least, the most notable wed? ding Charleston has witnessed formjany years. The presents were profuse and cosily but all others dwindled into pal? try insignificance before a little slip of paper which the millionare banker, Geo. W. Williams, handed to his daughter, the bride. It was a check for $100,000. The cermony was per? formed by Rev. A. Coke Smith, a Methodist minister. The wedding supper can be best described by saying it was in keeping and harmony with everything else. The bride and "groom left on the midnight train for Washing? ton. Clarendon News. The Court of General Sessions con? victed four sinners at its last term. The most important was John Miller, for manslaughter. He was sent to the penitentiary for ten years. Minus Beu bow was sent to the same harbor of refuge for two years for bog stealing; and the root doctor, H. H. Green, got 3 months for carrying concealed weapons. Mr. J. H. McFaddiu died last Friday after an illness of several months. Ile leaves a wife, several children, and a large connection to mourn his death. Enterprise. Maj. H. B.. Richardson was unani? mously elected to the Legislature last week. Snow and Dennis have been in Man? ning lately, to the delight of the pick? aninny and to some who are not pecan inious. Kershaw News. During the month of October, 1885, there were 9 deaths in Camden-3 white adults, 3 colored adults and three colored children. Miss Fannie Pack, of Clarendon gave a concert last week in Camden. Mr. Rob't Man, an old citizen of Camden died Oct. 25. The Wateree River was on the ram? page last week. Tbe Wateree Messenger office is the j recipient of a pod of bell pepper "for ! the editor and his devils."' Charles Johnson, a sixteen year-old j white boy, shot and killed a aegro named John Williams *in Lancaster county last week. He claims that the shooting was accidental, as he did not know that the pistol was loaded. When a few of those persons who do so much killing with "uu?oaded" guns and pis? tols are severely punished, we may . reasonably expect to see that class of j murders stopped, but not until then.

On a purchase of ?10 worth, you get a discount of $1, getting ?10 worth of goods for $9 ; on a ?15 purchase the discount is ?1.50, which will pay your railroad fare one wav between Sumter and Columbia, The discount on a ?30 purchase pays your fare both ways ; or a ?50 purchase pays your fare both ways and.Hotel Expenses in Columbia. Now, as you will doubtless need something in our line, say JEW? ELRY for wife, daughter or sweetheart, or SILVER WARE, either with or without handsome Plush or Morocco Cases for Wedding Presents, would it not be to your advantage to buy it from us ? We think so, and only ask that you give us a trial. We will send goods C. O. D. with privilege of examining before paying the bill if 50 cents is enclosed with the order to ! guarantee us express charges in case of no sale. If the article ! sent was satisfactory, and bought, the 50 cents would ba deduct? ed from the bill. It would be hardly fair to expect us to go to the trouble of packing and shipping an article and also have to pay express charges when no sale was effected. We will now give you some of our prices, but should you want anything in this line write to, or call on, us and state what you would like to get and how much you wish to pay, and we can suit }'ou. Remember, only one price on each article, and that in plain figures. SOLID GOLD WATCHES, GENTS' SIZE from ?45 ap. SOLID GOLD WATCHES, LADIES SIZE from ?16.50 cp. GENTS1 SIZE SILVER WATCHES, ?10 up.
