Messrs Editors: Thinking that a let-;

of Tiie News and IIeuald. I have con-j

denizen of this city-like town for a j
short time only, and mast say that I j
am pleased with both place and people. 1

Torn Goldsmith's description off the
'Village Preacher": /
"Remote from towns he ran his godly/race,
Nor e'er had changed, nor wished t? change

Sumter is not without its/"beauties
uid attractions, and not /the least
imong them are its magniffieent shade
rees, which, before denuded of their
oliage by autumn's flfrostv fingers,

;tranger who visitfc Sumter, thought?

he lowness of th(J houses was designed
is a protection /against these terrific
md destructive atmospheric phenome1a.
This in Jfact is not the case, for 1

a growing town. Daily one

flv'ng saw, while, ever and anon, as
it' evoked by the wonderful art of some
mighty magician, new edifices spring
ill to existence, and take their position
in line along with their predecessors.
A factory for the manufacture of sashes
and blinds is in process of construction,
while at no very distunt day, from the
walls of the Bellemonte Factory will
break upon the ear of the town the
music of merrily humming spindles, as
they transform the fleecy staple of
Sumter's cotton fields into tiireads and
yarns. It is just such spirit of enter
prise this, Messrs. Editors, that will
rescue onr sunny land from the thraldom
of poverty and bring back Plenty
with her smiling face oner aiore.
Religion and Churches.?In religion
we find here quite a diversity?Jews,
Catholics ana Protestants. The last
named all have commodious houses of
worship, and their pulpits are filled by
ministers, acceptable and capable.
Schools.?There are several seminaries
of learning here, and, judging
from the number of pupils attending
each, they are certainly in a flourishing
condition. And just in this connection
I may say, if numbers were the only
requisite to the successful maintenance
of schools. Sumter could sustain her
schools most handsomely, for. if I have
ever seen a town pre-eminent for a juvenile
population, Sumter is emphatically
that town.
Hotels.?I can speak of one of these
only from personal kuowledge?the
jervey Jiouse. i nis nouse, as its name !
indicates, is presided over by Mr. Jcr- ,
vey, who possesses in his estimable [
lady a most admirable and efficient co- J
adjntrix. If any of your friends come
thi* way, tell them to stop at the Jer- j
vey House, and, if hey don't find in
Mr. J. a rie plus ultra of a host, then 1 i
sh:ill say that he has degenerated since j
it was my good fortune to be his guest, j
Merchants.?Among this class tucre |
is much energy and thrift, and rue i
business and houses of business of some
of them are on a scale that would do
c e lit to a place of greater pretensions j
than Sumter. For instance, the stores j
of Mr. A. A. Solomons and Mr. Iiyftsnberg.
The former of these gentle- j
men is certainly the meechaut-priuce i
of this town.

A JtEl'LY.
Tlie Hon. John W. Lylos published a
card in your issue of 17th November,
which lor concentration. of falsehood
wonld be hard to beat. Ifc is false bv inference,
fatse by imputation, false by aired
assertion.
r. Lylos lias relieved me from all obligation
to publish his card, no matter in
what way or where I may reply. He denounces
my statement as a lie without
! publishing it and without giving the
["names of the gentlemen whe were present
Mid to wLom I refer r.s to the truth of the
statement, i. e., Mr. K- M. 0wings, Capt
I-'a-ic Means and Mr. Wra. H M Gill.
Hfre I give you the statement to publish:
Fabfield Co , Stbotheb, Oct. 6th. 1881.
Messiis. Andeusox & Boozti', Columbia,
s. c.:
'Dear >irs?In company "vith Mr E. M
Gwin^s, Capt. Isaac Means end Mr. Wis.
H. MiGili, I visited the plantation "f the
hon. John "VV. Lyles, who sliowtd us
where be planted "Cuban Bird Guano."
si.if by side with Enroki. Air. Lyles
claimed that the Cuban Bird hail done
him'no good. Yet lie was* unable to des
gr.afe t;:e dividing rows between tl.r.r
and tiif Earel-a. planted si le by s:de.
This was on gray l md tuat bad been heavily
manured last y< ar with Cotton Seed and
Stable Manure. On a piece of good land
he used Cotton Soe.l Compost and Bird
Giiyno. This is the best piece of cotton
that we saw on his plantation, it wi;l mr.ke
I,5*10 pounds to the acre.
Another test was four rows of Cuban
Bird Guano by the side of Eureka. T-ae
iat>e; r.ttuvt the best.
Again: Cuban Bird Gnino on one side
of 'fche lield and Eureka 011 the other side,
cjv^deu by wash or gully. Tbe side with
the "Cuban Bird" will make the most cot
.on. ) i.Mi\ Lyles says it is the best land.)
One/of nis tenants planted a field at tiie
head of the Cuban B.rd Guano plat, and
uu yue luii i>i jDiiJjJiit; wu nuu:u *z'/ ui;ic*
This,' will not ma'.ce near us much as the
^ubiLn Bird or the Eureka plats referred to
auo\je. It Lad a defective stand and was
notAvorke ' well,
Again: Mr Lvles -bowed us where he
planted Cotton Seed ana 1;"0 pounds of
Otabun Bird Guano by tho side of 3"0
pbunds of Cuban Bird without anything
eAse. Here he again claimed that there
r.vas no result from rhe Gnano, but could
. not show the dividing rows. He said the
[rows had been "changed by breaking up
the lan'l.'r (I don't understand that point )
Mr. Lyles refused to give me a certificate
in accordance with the above facts, as
ihey were seen and understood to be by
Mr. R. M. Owings,.Capt Isaac H. Moans
and Mr. Wm. H. McGill, and as I saw the
facts.
Vnrro rorv fmlr otj/1 rocncr?ffnllv
G. W. Gasmask
P. S.?Mr. Lyles' threat to attend a pub.
lie meeting and to denounce thy the Guano
as a fraud made the necessity for pub
lishing this statement, which was written
out at the time and submitted to the gentlemen,
and who were willing to sign it
with Mr. Lyles. G. W. G.
To which I will now add that in the
side of the field where Mr. Lyles said the
Bird Guano was used, the grass (ov. r the
greater part of it) was as high as the cotton,
while the side with tue Eureka was
comparatively clean. (Though he said it
was all worked alike.) In reference to the
certificate. After we returned from the
fields I rsked Mr. Lyles for a certificate of
fads as they existed. He said "it must be
such an one as the gentlemen present
wAuld sign with him." I nude no objection
to that.
Tue first paragraph that he gave for the
certificate was. that "the purest iand on his
place made Mler cotton irilhaut any Fertilizers
thnn Hip. best 1/inrt on. his rUttr.e. made with 150
pounds of Cuban Bird'. I 'wrote that down.
Tl-ftn I proposed to slate that in the first
field we w<;nt to, we could not distinguish
the dividing r >ws between the Enrekannd
th?^ Bird Guano. To that he objected, and
began again to denounce the Guano.
At this point the gentlemen proposed to
defer the certificate lor the present..and gA
to others' fields. (I suppose they would
not have signed the first'statem^nf.)
The reader of his card would have no
conception of what thof icts were, for his
cunning i erversion of truth icoidd and does
mislead the mind.
I went to the neighborhood by special,
earnest and kindly imitation, from several
ol the most honorable gentlemen. I
don't include the Hon. J. W. Lyles in the
iiunJjer, nor in thai class,
I wrtit to Mr. Lyles' place by arrangement,
to m'jefc those yenllemen. and (as I
understood it to be), for Mr. Lyies to show
as that the Bird Guano did no good.
When we got there I was reqi ested to
read the certificates of prominent gentlemen.
Mr. Lyles did not in plain words
say that the certificates were bought. But
his insinuating remarks and imputations
were such that I objected to going into his
fields at alL And it was only out. of respect
for the gentlemen present, who insisted
on my eoing, that I did so. (Mr.
Lvies also insisted"on my going.)
Now, Mr. Lyles'conduct and manneron
the occasion, and his piibiistvea cara, wnen
analyzed and 'determined" by the standard
of an honorable gentleman, stands
thus:
jlnai/ssis.
Trath, a bare tr_ce, - - Trace
Honor, not one particle, - - - .0!)%"
Candor and fairness, - - - - .00;-^
Cunning and direct falsehood, -- 50. 0>??
Deaiagoguism. ----- - 49.yy??
The above analysis is abundantly verilied
by Mr. Lyles' assertion that the Guano
was "worthlessthereby giving the lie aliso
to the certificates given by scores of gcxvl
men, yes, honorable gentlemen, whose certificates
show a better average result thj.n
any Gupjio sold in the State. And by that
direct assertion Mr. Lyles makes plain language
of his insinuations at his house that
these were bounhl certiiicaies.
I submit the above analysis to any honorable
tribunal, with the fullest conlidence
tnat it will be more than sustained
by their 4,test"
And it makes a worse showing for the
Hon. John W. Lyles as an honorable gentleman,
than the analysis that he holds of
the ''Bird Guano'' makes for that, as a
first-class fertilizer.
Now, there is a palpable He published,
either by one G. w. Garmany in the
statement in his pamphlet, or by the Hon.
John W. Lyies in his card.
And I assert, in the most posttive terms,
that the lie is not in the statement nor paraph
Id of "one"
