Mrs. Levi and Miss Sallie have re turned from the mountains. The lat ter left Monday to attend school at the Sumter Convent. Miss Lucy Barron left home this week to commenee school at the Sum ter Institute. The friends of Miss Lula Lucas in Manning are regretting that her vis it here was terminated last Friday. Misses Sallie and Mary Burgess, who have been visiting in 3ayesville for several weeks, returned home Sat urday. The election is the engrossing top ic now, and will be 'till the returns are in. Mr. Sinclair, the Photographer, is expected to leave the first of next week. Post master Bowman informed us that the Summerton package of pa pers from this office, mailed here last Wednesday, was not taken out of the mail bag, but came back to the Man ning office after going the round of Jordan, Summertov, Panola and Packsville. It being the first time the like has ever occurred, and feeling assured that the efficient tender at Summerton will exercise more care fulness in the future, the matter is passed by without further notice. A lady enthusiast of Edgar Allen Poe, once wrote to Horace Greeley, begging him to present her with the poet's autograph. Before long a re ply was received, that for forty dol lars the autograph would be forth coming, Poe having given his "I. 0. U." for that amount to the distin guished statesman. In every community there are a number of men whose whole time is not occupied, such as teachers, minis ters. farmers' sons and others. To these classes especially we would say if you wish to make several hundred dollars during the next few months, write at once to B. F. Johnson & Co., of Richmond, Va., and they will show jou how to do it. NOTICE.- During the ginning seas on, now open, I will insure gins, gin houses with fixtures. etc., at lowest rates. F. N. WLON.

We do hope this matter will not be allowed to go neglected much longer. A Mo.Nzr IMPRovEMEm.-Mr. W. Scott Harvin has attached to his; su perb ginning outfit an elevator which is a wonder to look at in its operation and a marvel in the way of saving la bor. A wagon coming up with seed cotton is driven under the shed and in a few moments the whole is lifted )p and carried to the place where it belongs. Mr. Harvin is always up to the latest and best improvements. Mirr Rx~vIrw.--The cavalry companies of the county will be re viewed -on Saturday, the 25th inst., by Adjutant and Inspector General Bonham, at the parade ground of the "Hampton Light Dragoons." These inspections are always public, and the companies are anxious that the peo ple will turn out to the inspection. Especially is it desired that the ladies assist in making the day enjoyable with their presence. Accom.-,ames Thompson, a colored employee working at th steam saw mill of Mr. W. Scott Har in, in this town, on last Saturday ev ening was caught by the gin band and thrown on top of the saw, while in motion, and badly lacerated. Foo tunately, there must have been a small head of steam on at the timie, for the motion of the saw was arrested by the clothing of Thompson at the critical moment. It is said that one revolu tion more would have cut him in twain. Such lessons trub -eight to inspire caution for the fu.. TuE PanXItY XTErJ)A.-Lp to tue time of going to. press this morning only six of the voting precinets have been heard from, which we give below. The reports did not reaca this office through an official source, but we think they can be relied upon as cor rect. There are yet thirteen more cubs to be heard from. Repreentatve :.: John C.

We invested in vermilion paint, looking forward to the result of the primary,-and have "painted the town i red"-at least our end of it. We are vet "at sea" as to the outcome of the election, so far as it concerns some candidates. (as we have not seen a county paper and the figures we get from other sources are very contra dictory) but "Argonaut" feels serene, being assured that his favorite hee won the race, hence the cause of en sanguined painting-and of the exu berant salutations of "shake, put it there, &c." Quite a diversity of sen timent was evidenced at the election here; nearly every candidate in the race received some votes-and Fulton is the home of three candidates. 'Twas conspicuous that the most in tense feeling was centred in the Sen atorial contest; the vote here was: Rhame 23, DesChamps 21. "Tom," we did no! forget you; yes you were constantly associated with our cogitations. Some fellows went three on you-we hustled around among "our boys" and saw three, and went ten better. The subscribers of the TIaEs assembled en ,nade at the P. 0. on Friday, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the mail, in order to get their favorite journal, but the TDIEs did not reach us, greatly to the disap pointment of many who wished au thentic "primary" news, for despite "Argonaut's" repeated and emphatic assurances that his preferred candi Idate had safely crossed the majority line, vet there were a good miny doubting Thomases. Your numerous colored 0subscribers wanted earth quake news-in fact they seem to re gcard the Tnis as the only criterion worth a cent for any ne vs. The eventful 31st of August, 1886, -it seems was destined not to close without marking an epoch unprece dented in the annals of South Caroli na's past, notwithstanding the excit ing ir-idents attendant upon a day of political excitement and suspense, was the nervous and exhausted candidate permitted to enjoy a night's repose, for their came thundering through Clarendon, an ominous rumbling, a precursor of terror, ordained to shake even the battlements of political en thusiasm. THAT EARTHQUAKE! Great Scotts!! Scare !!! Well, we s-h-o-a-l-d s-m-i-l-e. Natives run? Bet your Saccharine vitality on it yes sir, that earthquake "broke the folks all up," and many are frighten ed badly yet. To see the woe-be-gone expressions depicted on some peo ple's countenances, you would think that they had suddenly become "dou ble orphans," while a good number are now experiencing the enervatirg consequences of severe fright-one full grown L) oy baby 2G years old, (who hsbeen, ashe says, serving a dark complexioned gentleman who resides in a territory contiguous to where earthquakes are supposed to originate) screamed out at the height of his voice, that judgment had come ! "but do Lord spare me this time, and l'll join the church to-morrow !" To be serious, we did have quite a shake, and vibrations of varying intensity have been felt at different intervals, up to last night. These long contin ued sensations have very naturally somewhat unnerved ladies and chil dren. Some four or five families have improvised tents and are camping out in their yards. This may be a wise precaution, but as for "Argonaut" and some others, they prefer to run any risk fr-om a most disastrous convul sion of the earth, than to endure the discomfort of sleeping out these cool nights, in addition to catering to the appetite of myriads of hungry mo squitoes. On Tuesday night we had just left the residence of Capt. J. J. Brough ton, when the sound of the almost deafening rumbling, which preceded the shock, was heard. We rode back to Capt. Broughton's and found him self and family out in the yard look ing at the house which was shaking like aspen. They were all cool and collected, especially the ladies-but "Jewilikens," of't in the distance well we can't tell-but sonwbody was scared! As to the colored people, they all united in prayer, and it was obvi ous that truly they believed, '"in uni ty there is strength"-for the object ive destination of all seemed to be for the largest crowd. They left their several abodes, and "did not stand upon the order of their going" but "ot" some out of doors, windows, cimneys, and in short, through every possible mode of egress, and no par ticular attention seems to have been padt full dress costume." It would appear that the examnple set by the colored folks has been emulated extensively by some of the whites. As A RiEvivALIST. The earth quake has been a mag nificent success eclipsing the world renowned Moody and Sankey, or Sam Joies and Smalls. The religious meeting recently held at St. James' X. E Church closed on the 20th inst., but we learn a series of devotional meetings are to be inaugurated at that church, commencing on Wednes day night. Indeed every one seems to be aroused to a sense of their dere liction of religious duties. Colored christians have had continuous "wvatchi niht" and revival meetings since tl~e A CooE5CIENTTSsTHoY A venerable and philosophical dar key defines the phenomenon, as "big tuder under de ground, stidder in de sky." - PE~soNA1s.

Au iecoir APooxur. NOTES FROM BETHLEHEM. The election passed quietly with nothing to disturb the peace, except the very expressive "howdy you do is your family well?" Beulah Academy opened last Mon dav under the control of Mr. B. B. Thompson. His course of instruc tion is thorough and complete. He will prepare young men and ladies for college, or fit them for the ordinary vocations of life. Our communty presents liberal in ducements to parents to Bend their children here to school. It is free from the harmful influences of villago life; the health of the neighborhood is excellent, and the society refined and cultivated. On last Tuesday night at about five minutes before 10 o'clock, the houses, without warning, began to shake and rattle. Slowly, but with increasing force, the mane came on, until the vibrations were too indica tive of danger for persons longer to remain in doors. Shouts could be heard in every direction. Almost ev erybody wanted to leave home. Sev eral families got together in different parts of the neighborhood, and a few refused to go to bed again, but had a general sitting up. We don't think we ever saw so many as badly scared in all our lives. We felt nine shocks during the night. We have heard of no casualities in this part of the county, except one or two women who were scared into cunvulsions. B. Sept. 3rd, 1886. Awful Death. The Terrible Sufferings of a Victim of Hydrophobia. Last week we noted the fact of Ma jor Levi Lybrand's sickness from an attack of hydrophobia. He died on the 25th of August, the day of our going to press. The following ac count of his suffering and death is ta ken from the News and Courier, the same being furnished them by their Ridge Spring correspondent: RiDGE SPnING, August 25.-I tele graphed you to-day of the violent death of Major Lybrand from hydro phobia. The first symptoms of the at tack were felt on Saturday night last. He was on the streets of our town on Saturday afternoon, and talked free ly upon the subject of the primary election, soon to take place in our county. He expressed himself as be ing confident of his own election to the oflice of county commissioner, for which he was a candidate. He was ap parently in the finest health and spir its. Upon getting home he exerted himself gathering in fodder in the heat. Just at night, after this exer tion, he felt his sickness. He attrib uted it to over-exertion and heat. He grew worse during the night. Dr. J. B. DuBose was sent for early Sunday1 morning and at once pronounced it a case of rabies. H-e grew worse con tinuously, being all the time very rest less, moving most of the time about the house and yard. He could not, eat nor drink, frequently making vain efforts to swallow. He would ask for water, and upon seeing it would turn from it or throw it down. He would sometimes lie down for a short while. He was perfectly rational until Tuesday when they found it necessary to con fine him, which they did by fastening him up in a room. After this no one would approach him until he was ex hausted by weakness. Soon after his confinement, and more suddenly than was expected, he took convulsions, which followed one after another ev ery five or ten minutes, which very soon prostrated him so that he could do no harm, and aid could be render, ed him. Nothing could be done to afford him relief. He struggled through the night until 6 o'clock next morning (Wednesday) when he die&, It is strange to say, that, although he was himself three days, he never would admit that he had hydropho bia, and could not be convinced of it. He always maintained for the past five months since he was bitten that he would never have rabies. He was a man of very great nerve. It is said that he never knew fear. He was a gallant soldier in the late war and was considered very brave. It was frequently said by many of him that his fearlessness and high spirits would ward of the attack and prevent it. His was an unmistakable case of hy drophobia.-Journal and Reciew. THE SUMTERt PRIARY. SorrEuI, Sept. 13.-The Democratic primary election, which was held in this county last Saturday, passed off very quietly. 1,951 votes were cast for Senator, cut of which Major Mari on Moise rcived 911.
