A spasm of public indignation on
account of crime accomplishes bnt
little. To make the laws respected
they must be enforced every day in
the year.
The man who is sane enough to
skillfully plan and perpetrate a
~ ~ ? " * ? f <-v cn Aa?? r\n n ?oh
crime is saue euuu^u iv ouuci ^umoument,
and the man that is "ready
with bis pistol" shonld be placed
where he will not be a menace to the
v peace of the State.
Sam Jones, the evangelist, said to
a Baltimore audience the other day:
"You may call this 'silly talk, but
I'm talking to a silly crowd." The
fact that the audience did not withdraw
proved the truth of his assertion.
, The South will have 30C. votes in
the National Democratic Convention.
. It will be remembered that 306 was
the number of interested patriots
who wanted Gen. Grant nominated
for a third term.
The grand jary of Edgefield reported
S. S. Tompkins, Esq., Master
r for that county a defaulter to the extend
of several thousand dollars. He
has resigned. It is thought he will
make up. the deficiency. He is over
70 years of age.
There is much truth in the assertion
that the boy or girl who is a regular
% reader of the newspaper will grow up
in intelligence, and will use proper
language ia speaking and writing
even if their education is limited. It
is news, science, literature, history,
geography and spelling combined.
Albany. N. Y., August 15.?John J.
Reilly, aged 22, foreman in the
scratch shop of Rathburn, Sard &
Co.'s stove foundry, disappeared
Saturday morning. Tojday his body
was found in an oven for baking
. ladles. It is presumed he went in
there, and, laying down, fell asleep.
Fire was started Saturday and the
door of the oven was locked. His
presence not being known, he was
baked for abont forty hours. ,v I

Two months ago ex-Governor
Franklin J. Moses was pardbned out
of the Massachusetts penitentiary.
' At the time'it was said he was dying.
Since then his health has improved
as he has. written a, book of 1,-iOO
pages on reconstruction and prison
reform. ? He relates hi3 own experience
at some length, in order he
Bays, "that I might add my individual
efforts to those which others are
making towards - explaining the
subject of prison reform." The exGovernor*
and ex-convict ought to
dedicate his book to R. B. Hayes.
The latter fraud in addition to raising
chickens takes considerable
interest in prison reform.
Peak and Bightwell Notes.
Rev. J. K. Efird took a stalk of Mr.
Adam Frick's corn to the Ioter-State ;
Encampment containing, if I have
been authentically informed, about I
eight ears of corn. This, of coarse,
was taken for exhibition.
It has been the pleasure of your
scrbe to walk over a number of the experimental
farms, the products of
which were assigned the members of
Rigbtwell Farmers' Club. All these are
looking well. The committee of inspection
has just completed its in-;
spection tour and gives a glowing
acconnt. This shows the importance
of a well organized, first-class Farmer's
Clnb. '
The members of St. Peters church
have taken subscription lists and have
commenced digging a well at the
church. This will be a great advantage
when completed, as a well
at this place has long been a necessity.
The Sunday-school at St. Jacob's
church has recently been organized.
The following constitutes the pre'serjt
faculty: Dr. J. W. Eargle, Supt.; D.

With this corps of competent instructors

seventy-five or more popils now.

Pond Branch Penciiings.
The drought is over. Thunder
and lightning, see bow our prospects.
1 are brightening.
| "See thai 6aJ3 tbe Colonel,
i hrap of that that falls in my
'held now meaus a kernel of com for
me."
Lightning picked about a square
| rod of Mr. Joseph Williamson's
I cotton plants and bolls and all; split
a mammoth hickory tree at Mr. J. J.
Jefcoat's, crackled along the ground
like a troop of crazy goblins at Mr.
, Henry C. Kirkland's and altogether
| behaved in i'ts usually eccentric man- i
i ner when making a close call.
Corn and cotton are doiDg well on
| Cedar creek, Pond branch and at
j Oakvilla.
. The water rose rapidly in our j
streams daring the late rains doing
some damage but nothing serious.
Turpentine men are very busily
employed at tbi3 season; the sound
of the hack is heard on all sides in
the woods as the chipper follows his
active avocation and the distilleries
are all running up to their full capacity.
A? I said before, change of occupation
is rest on Pond branch. Many
have now- laid by their crops and are
preparing to go into the woods to cat
timber for fall rafting. The gopd
prices realized this year ?for timber
and the abundant corn crop now in
view, promising ample sustenance
until returns are received from timber
.shipments, have induced the lumber
men to make -ah earlier start than
usual determined to beat the record
of 8G 87, which was the highest ever
attained on the Branch.
Messrs. Rice and Martin .of Oak
villa have warned Mr. Thos. Craft of
an approaching visit and a desire to .
go a fishing with him. Since this
ominous message was received Tom
my has been troubled, and even Mr.
McDougal when appealed to for help
in the shape of a loan of a flat boat
offers jdo comfort since he says he
would rather have eighty barrels of
I rosin on board than such heavy
I weights as Rice and Martin at the
! same time.
Mr. AT. Kirkland has invested in
seme real estate at Five Points and
i proposes to go into merchandising
! there late in this year or early in the i
next. . . i
When b^oom corn is scarce the 1
Pond branch housewife can readily ?
fall back on the hog weed broom. i
The Colonel saw some youDg men -i
in bathing and disguising himself i
with brushes on his head masquerad- <
ed on the bill, starting the boys for <
home in a hurfry very badly scared thinking
that at last their time had
come... ij
Mr. John Craft, of Oakvilla, is still p
battling bravely wi^h his affliction i
that is daily underdiiDmg;* bis once I
magnificient constitution. /
The Pond branch beef market can-? <
not be said to be flourishing since)
there has been but two or three* ]
beeves offered this year. * ' 1 i
Mr. Samuel Tyndeli will be a bene^ (
factor to Pond branch, if his efforts; *
to train the musical talent thereon j
abounding are successful. The sing- <
ing iu the churches is seldom aftrac- <
tive and sometimes scarcely creditable i
and even the Sabbath schools are not j
quite up to#the mark they are capable \
of attaining.
Mr. More Jefcoat is profoundly ab-- ]
sorbed in the study of a system of ]
brakes for his runaway ox, being ]
greatly assisted in his ruminations by (
the fact that he is confined to his bed
from the result of the last runaway in
which himself and his bovine figured.
Mr. IIirain Hutto has a patch .of
.neatly cultivated cotton on the Blackville
road that is a joy to the eye of
the lover of agricultural neatness,
and the fruit in his orchard glistens
like jewels half hid amid the abnnd[
ant foliage.
H. R. H. John of Mash Island,claims
to have corn planted in rows t
six feet apart so vigorous in growth
that the ground is completely shaded
over so that the lightning bugs deceived
by the gloom, may be seen.displaying
themselves all day long with
their illuminated ends in full- opera- ]
tion.
# Mr. Adolphns Gantt has gained '
the prize annually offered by Mr.

the most wheat to be threshed at his
mill. ]
j Mr. Henry Barrs has just returned
from his first trip to Columbia in
; eight years and as a memento of his

officers for the ensuiDg
vAftr* Dtps.. Mai. H. A. Meetze:
Vice-Pres., Rev. S. S. Rahn; Secty.,

good address on "Training Childrenr,"
followed by Rev. H. F. Shealy, of
Newberry, on; "Teachers Wprk,"
which contained sdme admirable
points for the teachers.
Saturday sessions morning and
evening, were taken up by the discussion
of twenty-nine questions
which had been placed in the question
box. It was the general sense Of the
convention that the Lesson Helps
should never be allowed to supersede
the Catechism.
That none but Lutheran teachers
should teach in our schools, and that
whenever practicable Lutheran literature
should be used.
That Sunday-schools must be un
der the control of Pastor and Church
Council.
That Union Schools in connection
with other denominations were detrimental,
to the best interests of our
schools.

John 1:42; subject "Leaders and
Led."
Sunday 10.30 a. tn. services were
opened with the Church- Liturgical
services followed by Rev. E. L. Lybraod's
address on "Teaching the
doctrines of our church in our
schools." The speaker showed clearly
and forcibly from reason and history
that no- church can prosper which
does not teach its doctrines to its
children. It was<a practical address,
well thought out and well delivered.
He was?followed by Rev. L. E.
Busby, whose address to the children
was delivered/in his usual forcible
tfrK ] J The
closiDg address was by
E. Barclay da "Sabbath Scnvoi...
Quackery." }
Sunday afternoon Hod. F. W. McVlaster,
of Columbia, S. C., delivered
\ most touching and pathetic acftiress
on "The SuDday-school and the
Home." His beaatiful descriptions
ind illustrations, the lender pathos
of the distinguished speakers voice,
Irew tears from the eyes of all, and it
was a fitting close t-o one of the most
practical, hardest working conventions
we have ever attended.
After resolutions of thanks to our
kind friends of Lexington, to- Col.

about to close, and l?e thought it but
just and proper that expression of
opinion should be given to its work,
and with a view to-have such expression,

the chair and requested Mr. D. Fitzgerald
to act as secretary. The meeting
beiDg organized he submitted the
following paper which was seconded,
by Col. Barr in some appropriate rewarks,
put to the meetiDg and unanimously
adopted.
The County Institute will very soon
be a thing of the past, and time alone
can tell the good which has been accomplished.
If this however is to be
determined by the Z8al, ability, kindness,
patience and courtesy of Prof.
Witherow and Miss Annie Bonham,
then may the people thank the
County Board

terms of its highest app^^Rion of

feelings in the following rotations:

their happiness and success in life.
2.. By the people, that the County
Beard in calling this Institute and in
its management, have our warmest
thanks; that it has effected even in a
pecuniary point of view, more real
good than the worth of the small

nobler qualities of our nature have
been incalculably benefitted, and we
also desire to join with the Board in
our thanks to Prof. Witherow and
Miss Annie Bonham for the benefits
we have received from their instructions.
3. That we feel - greyly indebted
and hereby give expression to it, to

SI'RIMi MB SUMMER.
I Lave the Largest Stock of Clothing for
Men, Youths, and Boy's that, you will lind
in the city, and at prices that cannot be
found anywhere. Just think of it, a good
Business Suit at $5, SO.50, $7.50 up to
SI5. .All wool pants at $2.50, $3, and
$3.50, My largo assortment ot suits this
season aud at the lowest prices far exceeds
any season since I have been in business.
| My success is due to going into the market
late in the season,'and being able to secure
this stock at a great sacrifice and enabling
me to give my -customers the benefit .'of
LOW PItLCES in this large - slock of
clothing. To lay aside an old wornont
suit of clothes and don a new one, is only
a change in material, unless the wearer
notices the change in style, fashionable
fabrics* and prevailing shades also enter
the combination. It is my ainf in selling
a suit, to give my customers the benefit of
these four requisits to good dressing: a
strong durable texture, a quality of goods
that will wear and a style that adopts itself
to the form of the wearer, and a price that
meets the charge of all competitors and
discounts them liberally.
What others have said, yon win say,
what yoa will say, every fair-minded person
will bo ready to- admit, and that is,
that my stock is not only stylish and well
chosen, but exceedingly fair and reasonable
in price. I am ready to meet the demands
of the season. I now court comparison,
am not too prond to listen to criticisms
aud like to have my goods admired when
they deserve it. I shall be pleased to entertain
yon at any time by showing you
through the, stock and explaining the
8 0^i^rff'yoirany^-irftere.
'
. BOY'S CLOTHING.
I have an nnnsfially large assortment of
youths, boj's, and children's suits, adapted
to all ages and sizes. My every-day and
school suits are especially durable and
strong in material and make, while the
better grades will be found in the latest
style; cut, fabric and color equal to custom
work.. Bring your children here and you
will be surprised to learn that it costs but
a trifle to keep your boys well dressed if
you patronize me. Knee pant suits from
$2 to $7.50. _ Long pant suits from 83.50
to $15. Boy's shirt-waists in all sizes from
25 cents to SI. Odd knee pauts 25c., 50c.,
75c., to SI.50. Boy's long pants from 25c.
up to $3.50. I carry everything in this
line and at prices to make a boy happy.
SHOES.
My stock of Gents' Fine Shoes for Spring
and Summer wear are ready for your inspection,
among them are the celebrated
Bannister shoe, in all styles, and Ivinard's
warranted shoe at S3.00.
HATS..
This stock is large and varied in soft aud
stiff hats in all styles, for Spring and Summer
wear. * The favorite is the Boston
Flexable Stiff Hat which will conform to
the head at once, in all colors and shapes.
My stock of Straw Hats is the best in style
and shapes I have ever had. This is the
popular verdict. Mackiuaws from 50c. np
to $3". This stock must be seen to be appreciated.
Now if yon heed anything in my line,
call and examine this large stock and I am
satisfied I can save you money, and you
will be convinced that what you have read
in this advertisement are plain facts and
no misrepresentations.

OF ZINEMAX'S DI AM ANT A SPECTACLES AND EYE-GLASSES, the rnila'del
plna Times says : ''This is a new discovery of a suitable practical method to remedy
the congenital and acquired defects of the eye, consisting of lenses correct in every respect,
and capable of giving every one,normal and perfect vision. Some of the most
celebrated oculists in this country have pronounced them superior to any in use, and i
recommend and prescribe them as embracing all the merits required to constitute them
the best of artificial aids to impaired sight or defective vision. The lenses are perfectly
colorless, do nut polarize light, have no prismatic colors so ccuimon to other lenses,
and will be sold at less money than peddlers sell inferior glasses for. They can be had
in bine tints when desired.
