A Suggestion.?It has been suggested
to us that we are in great need of a
society here for the protection of the
English language. The unauthorized
use of such words as scoop, mash, etc.,
it is said should receive special ani
mad version, and in this we take occasicn
to say that we very cordially
agree. In fact it wouldn't be much
amiss to make the preseDt current
misuse of the latter term a misdemeanor,
punishable by fine and imprisonment.

ASSAULT AXD BATTERY OF A iilGH
an*d Aggravated Nature. ? Trial
Justice Neil issaed a warrant on last
Thursday for the arrest of Andrew
Gadsden, colorcd, who lives on the
plantation of Mr. S. W. RnfF. lie is
charged with committing a violent and
brutal battery on the person of his
wife with a bed slat. She is said to be
in a very critical condition, and he is
at large. The Sheriff has dispatched a
deputy in search of him.
Survivors ok the Twf.lth Regiment.?Capt.
J. R. Boyles, Secretary
of the Twelth Regiment Survivors Association,
has received a letter from
Hon. I. D. Witherspoon declining with
much regret to deliver the annual address
before the next meeting of the
said Association. Asking the Secretary
to assure the Survivors that it
would afford him great pleasure to
meet and address them, he insists that
only the pressure of official duties
I could induce him to forego the same.
A Liberal Offer.?In order to
advance our subscription list we have
decided to make the following offer:
To any one sending us one dollar cash
we will send the weekly News and
Herald till January, 1S86, or for two
dollars cash we will send the tri-weekly
News and Hf.rald till the same
date. A prize of five dollars will be
givj to the party who sends us the
greatest number of subscribers at the
fnr^o-rtincr r>rovided the success
-*""7 i
ful contestant shall send at least ten
names. This to stand until the 15th of
June next.
In the Tkial Justice Court.?On
Friday the case of the State vs. Joseph
Bird, charged with breach of contract,
was heard. He was found not guilty.
The case of the State vs. Os Yongue,
charged with assault with intent to kill
was called on last Saturday. The defendant
waived a preliminary examination
and gave bond for his appear
ance at the next term of the Court of
Sessions.
On the same day the State vs. Silas
Paulding was tried and he was found
not guilty.
County Normal Institute. ? Dr.
Boyd has received a letter from the
school commissioner of Chester county
suggesting that instead of having the
Normal Institute in each county, as
Drovided bv the school law. that the
four counties. Chester, Fairfied, York
and Lancaster, combine and hold a
union institute for white teachers at
Chester. By such a union a larger
fund would be secured, and the session
of the institute made larger. The
question is, would the teachers of the
adjoining counties go to Chester? The
Board of examiners are holding the
matter under consideration. A Normal
Institute for colored teathers will
be held at "VVinnsboro this summer.
The Supposed Incendiary .?William
Shuley has. been arrested and
lodged in jail, charged with the attempted
incendiarism of Monday. The
evidence against him, however, is not
very conclusive. The accascd lived
with Mr. Sugenheimer, and it was
thought that the first fire, which originated
in the plunder-room of Mr.
Sugenheimer, was the result of his
carelessness with his pipe, and Mr.
Doty, whose property was in dangerous
proximity, did some plain
talking to him. tie was accused or
firing the stables out of revenge, which
he denied of course, but failed to give
a very coherent account of his whereabouts
during the interval of the first
and the second fire. He is a boy about
eighteen years old.
A Pestilent Imposter.?TV'e learn
one "Doctor" Diana Sumter, a negro
claiming to be from Lancaster has set
up as a physician near Flint Hiil in this
county, ana is now "practising" to tne
great terror of the colored people in
that community. She offers the lizard
it is said as a panacea for all the evils
with which her race is afflicted, and
th*1 negroes far and near are thoroughly
frightened at the power of conjuration
which they are persuaded that she
possesses. Her charges for services
rendered are paid, as the story goes,
* i- J 4 -
very promptly, ana witnout regaru iu
homestead exemptions. She has be*
come so troublesome in the neighborhood
that complaint has been made
here to Trial Jnstice Neil, and he has
issued his warrant for her arrest.
stii-l Ahead.?On Sunday, May 17,
the celebrated Atlantic Coast Line
changed their schedule between
Charleston and Columbia so as to leave
Charleston at 7.25 a. m., instead of 7
a. m., and arrive at Columbia at 10.55
a. m., making the ruu of 137 miles in
three hoars and a half. This is the
fastest train in the. South. This line,
so celebrated for keeping up with the
times and providing-for the comforts
of its patrons, has substituted for the
ordinary ladies' cir, on the Charleston
run, elegantly equipped parlor-dining
cars, without extra charge for a seat,
on which you can get a first-class luncheon
or meal at a moderate-cost. This
effort to please the traveling public
should be encouraged, and We advise
our readers to take this route when
thev visit the "City by the Sea". Con
nections the same as by the South
Carolina Kailroad.

The St. Louis Range.?Attention is
called to the advertisement of the
Wrought Iron Range Co., ofSt. Lonis,
Mo., which will be found in another
column. Perhaps the best evidence of
the merit of this article is found in the
following, which we take from the
Sumter Advance:
Sumter, S. C., May 9, 18S5.
We, the undersigned, citizens of
Sumter, S. C., take pleasure in recommending
the representatives of the
Wrought Iron Range Co., of St. Louis,

Memorial Day.- Another Memorial
Day has passed and an appropriate
tribute has been once more paid here
to the memory of our fallen soldiers.
At 5 o'clock p. m., on Monday evening
a large crowd had assembled in
front of the Court House and around
the monument which was beautifully
decorated with flowers. A procession
. /-ineicfincr nf thp. Hordon Li?ht Iifiant
rv, and a line of carriages having
formed on the College green, were
marched down to this point. The
guns were stacked on the speakers
stand and the exercises were opened
with prayer by the Rev. G. P. Watson.
Gen. Bratton was then introduced to
the audience. He delivered an elo!
ouent address, paying especial cotnpli
| inent to the heroism and fidelity of the
Southern ladies. He was listened to
throughout with undiminished interest.
At the close of his remarks,
prayer was offered by the Rev. John
I. Chalmers and the crowd dispersed
the special committees repairing 4o
the different church-yards to decorate
the graves. Memorial Day will be
observed by our people until time has
tnken all seeming reproach out of
forgetful ness.
Personal.?Miss Alice Barkley, of
Nicolasville, Ky., who has been spend

returned hpme on Friday. Miss Barkley
made many friends during her stay
here who parted with her with much
regret. "VVc wish her a safe and pleasant

A Bold Attempt at Incendiarism.
| ?The alarm of fire was given on
Wednesday at 12 o'clock a. m. A
small plunder room in the rear of
Mr. Sugenheimer's saloon, near the
store and livery stables of Messrs.
W. R. Doty & Co., was the immediate
object of solicitude. The flames were
soon extinguished and it was generally
agreed that the fire was the result of
an accident. Later in the day however,
at 2b o'clock p. m., the. alarm
was again sounded; it was discovered
that the large -stables of Messrs. Doty
& Co., on fire. Fortunately the discovery
was made before the fire had
made much headway, and again the
trouble was soon ended. But the fact
DerhaDs most to be resrretted is, that
the circumstances in this connection
leave the idea of accidents out of the
question. There is no room for them
in the horse troughs of the unfrequented
rear end of these stables. The fire
in the first and last instance was a
diabolical attempt at incendiarism. It
may be said that it is unreasonable to
suppose that one intending crime would
choose the middle of the day for its
perpetration, and that a second attempt
would be made within two hours after
the first had proved nnsuccessfol, but
to this the stereotyped answer comes
up that crime is always illogical. It
is to be hoped that the guilty scoundrel
may be apprehended and punished.
There is no criminal against whom
society has fewer resources for protection
than against the sneaking emisfrnv>li
oai ? vi w?v iwfcVM.
The Entertainment
To say that thp entertainment at
Boag's Opera House on Tuesday night
was a success would scarcely convey
our meaning, in as much as the word
j is given to some ambiguity. But to
j say that the fullness of the audience
I puts its financial success beyond ques
tion is to affirm a fact patent to evenone;
and if the continued rounds of
applause which greeted the rendition
of each successive piece may be taken
to mean anything, we may certainly
? I: ^ * .. j* it.
say that tne dramatic success 01 me
venture reached also the level ofexpections
of its most sanguine promoters.
The performers were doubtless conscious
of the fact before hand that they
would play to an audience, "who if not
versed in the technics of the art
of music, were at least sufficiently
cultivated to distinguish the goou
from the bad, and who have been Jong
given over to extreme canucr in criticism.
Artists who undertake to entertain
the people of this town must
reach the level of success; mediocrity,
is endured with silent toleration, and
the least jugglery; the least exhibition
of want of capacity, is mercilessly hissed
from the stage. It must therefore
have been a source of gratification apd
encouragement to the amatuers on
Tuesday night to be reminded at every
| step of the programme that the sympathy
of the House was theirs.
We cannot undertake to say which
was the best piece, or which was most
artistically rendered as the traditional
variety of tastes among mankind, for
which the Baptist deacon was so thankful,
would at once ass... t itself. We
may say however that the "Mellican
Man" was received with especial
favor, and the "Catholic hymn" whose
sombre eloquence reaches "the height
of sublimity" was rendered with splendid
effect. The realistic representative
which accompanied this piece was
also a pleasing surprise to those who
have heard and admired it before.
The concert opened at 8? o'clock and
closed at 102 o'clock p. m. The thanks
of the community are due to the miu
strel troupe for a very pleasant entertinament.
THE COLORED PRESBYTERIANS.
Messrs. Editors: Permit me to say
through your paper that the Colored
Presbyterian Church is nearly completed.
"VVe hope to have it fully completed
by the middle of June, at which
time we want to dedicate it to the
service of our Lord, and we cordially
invite all the white friends to be
present with us. The Rev. S. P.
Hood, of Beaufort, S. C., will preach
the dedicatory sermon.

ITE3TS FROM HOREB.
Since our last communication the
mad dogs have been ranging and pneumonia
ragingiu this section.
Our farmers think that winter is
lingering too long in the lap of spring.
The nights are cool and cotton looks
sick. Good stands are reported and
some have commenced "chopping out".
UJd corn tdat nas oeen worsea out
looks well. Mr. Joel Ashford has a
field that is hard to oeat. The wheat
crop is fair, but the oats crop will be
almost an entire failure. This will be
a heavy loss to our farmers, but we
think the loss will be heavier on the
horses and mules, as they need all they
can get to give them strength to carry
the heavy mortgages with which most
of them are loaded.
We regret to learn that our old and
oetoomsil frionf} Mr. Thomas MeKin
stry is very ill at the residence of his
son-in-law, Mr. "W. P. Gibson.
Onr community has been called upon
to mourn the loss of one of its oldest
and most useful citizens, Mr. D. Y,
Camak. He died of pneumonia on the
morning of the 8th inst. b.
ITEMS FROM HOREB.
Ifoev-fe 7TrJifnm' As snmfi matters
of interest have transpired in and
around Horeb since your correspondent
(Senex) wrote you, and he has
failed to keep you posted, will you
allow me to jot down a few items?
By the way, what has become of the
old mas, and what does he mean by
styling himself thus? I think I am
acquainted with the gentleman, and
when last in his company was not impressed
with his ancient appearance;
but perhaps he feels old now, as I
learn his wife has left him and gone
back to her lather, and, furthermore,
took the children with her.
Bat to the point: On the 27ih ult.
Mr. I. D. Griffin, who had for years
been sorely afflicted at intervals, passed
away from this world of affliction and
was buried in Bethel chnrch-yard on
Tuesday, the 28th, the Rev. J. K. McCain
officiating at the funeral. There

girl, the other an aged and respected
negro man?Osmond Burrel?for years
daring tbe days of slavery a faithful
servant in the Mann family. He died
at the old family homstead on Sunday,
the 3i*d inst., and the number of white
people at his burial testify to the
esteem in which he was held in the
community. The funeral services were
utjnuuuicu in o. ?ci j cvicuiu uuu impressive
manner by the Rev. Mr.
Edwards, of the A. At. E. Church.
How true that death is no respe'ctor of
persons. The young, the middle-aged
aud the old, the white and the colored,
one by one cross the river and are seen
<-vn tKic nn mnrfl. Tn this nonnfifl
tion allow me to say I have jast heard
of the death of Judge W. R. Robertson,
and panse a moment to pay a
silent tribute to his memory.
"We still have some sick ones who
deserve and are receiving the kindly
attentions of their families and neighbors.
Uncle McKinstry is still quite
feeble: Mrs. M. E. Smith is somewhat
improved, Dot stm connnea 10 oea;
Mr. David Y. Camak is quite low with

looking well.

Romofr
IV/*<&**. J IL/WVdVVJ
Having given you the sober and
serious view of things in our midst for
some time past, let me now relate an
occurrence of a ludicrous, if not ridiculous
character. A few Saturday
nights ago there were heard in this
immediate vicinage shouts of "Hang
him! Full him down I Kill him! Oh,
father! Oh, my brother! Hold him!"
etc., with ever and anon bursts of
laughter, intermingled with cries of
"Help! help! murder!" and the like.
Your correspondent was asleep at the
time and heard nothing of the medley
till aroused by some of onr frightened
neighbors, bolting into the piazza and
raising the alarm, that some one was
beinsr lvnched, whereupon he arose,
robbed his eyes, looked around and
listened, and knowing that the dear
frightened women and children would
not consent, he mustered up courage
enough to propose to go out and reconnoitre
and perchance find out the cause
of the disturbance, but not being hard
to dissuade from his rash proposal,
returned to bed and awaited the coming
of the bright Sunday morning's
sun to reveal the feet that there had
been a negro log-rolling in a neighbor's
new ground near by. Strange time
for a log-rolling in a Christian community!
Eh! But no more strange than
true. " And it was not at a very early
linnr Rafnrdav mcrht either.
P. S.?Have just learned that Mr.
David Y. Camak is dead. j.

to prepare the most substantial

R. W PHILLIPS.
I am now ready to supply the demands
of men, youths and hoys in Spring Suits,
ily stock is large and the assortment beautiful
as well as the changes in styles. The
Cutaways, cut in whipcord, worsteds and
plaids, are very neat and well made, with
suitable linings to match the goods. The
sacks are of the same material, and are
m :-3e in all the leading styles. Just here
one particular style needs mentioning?the
Norfolk suit which has become veiy popular
for the past season, and one of the
most comfortable suits ever worn. Clothing
is cheaper now than it has ever been
hofnr* and a thntfmwh knowledge of the
market has enabled me to buy this stock at
the lowest market value.
My stock of (ients' Furnishing Goods is
now complete, with an assortment of underwear
in all sizes in gauze Lisle Thread
and Balbriggan. Fancy and Plain Half
Hose in great varieties. Knowing that in
buying Neckwear all persons are partlcularj
I have endeavored to select every
desirable new style of Flat Scarfs, Puns
and String Ties. These goods are made
from the best silk material, and are sold at
a price for inferior grades.
A word with you in regard to Hats. The
trade in this line is increasing so fast that
it has become a leading specialty and has a
department by itself. I always endeavor
to keep the latest styles, made of Hoe best
material that will stand the wear. My
spring styles of Stiff Hats are made with a
view of being comfortable to the wearer.
They will shape to any head and are made
very light in weight and well ventilated.
Tbe soft goods are also complete in tbeir
assortment. I have the largest stock of
Straw Hats that I have ever had, in view
of the fact that the demand for these goods
increases every season, and I am prepared
to wholesale .as well as retail in the Hat
Department as well as the Clothing Department.
Do not forget the line of handsome
Shoes, iii gaiters and low-quarters, that I
have In stock. The styles of shoes do not
change so. readily as hats and clothing.
The principal object being to make them
as comfortable as possible.
I would like to have you call and examine
the stock. It will be a pleasure to
show you tbe goods whether you purchase
or not. Respectfully,
