It is expected that $300,000 will be appro
aited by Congress to instruct a fne.gan
its public building for Charleston.
Mr. R. H. Davis, of Clarendon county,
killed a penitentiary convict two weeks ago.
An account of it is published elsewhere.
Mrs. Mary O'Hara, widow of the late
John O'Hara, of Manning, died in Colum
bia, at the residence of her brothers, Feb.
23rd.
W. L. Bass, of Kingstree, is said to have
invented a type writer that will be superior
to those in use, and can be constructed at
about one third the cost.
Chester, S. C., is ahead of every other
town in the State in one respect, by having
a barber shop run by a colored woman,
*hich is patronised by the best citizens of
the place.-Florence Ts.
The Kershaw Gazette says:-One day last
week four widows of Confederate soldiers
applied at the Auditor's office to have pa
pers fixed in order to draw pensions from
the State. Their names were Black-Berry
Pye and Honie.
Hon. C. G. Menminger, who, until his
resignation a year ago, had been chairman
of the Board of Educaion of Charleston for
a third of a century, was honored last week,
by having amarble bust of himself placed
in the city Council Chamber.
Melvin Youngblood, white, was buried
alive on Capt. D. S. Hair's plantation at
Blackville, last Friday, whilst cleaning out
a well. The earth caved in upon him thir
ty feet. The body was recovered about 4
o'clock that afternoon, standing erect in
one corner under about eight feet of earth.
The examination of applicants for the
vacant cadetship at West Point was held in
Florence Friday. Seven candidates ap
peared, and Mr. Chas. D. Miller, of Flor
ence, made the highest record, and he has
been notified that he will be recommended
for the place. His marks were 141 above
those made by the highest applicant, which
speaks well for Charlie and the Florence
Graded School, where he- was educated.

Philip Brunson, who at the Feb. (1887)
term of court in this county, was sentenced
to the penitentiary for two years, for arson,
has had his sentence commuted to one year,
and on Feb. 21st was released from impris
onment. His commutation of sentence was
recommended by the foreman of the jury,
and by Judge W itherspoon, before whom
Brunson was tried. Brunson is a mere
child, only ten or twelve years old.
Western Republicans are working to have
the nominee of their party for the Presiden
cy to come from their section. Judge Gre
sham and Robert Lincoln, both from Illi
nois, are leading in popular favor though
neither of them is an aggressive candidate.
Their plan is to run in as dark horses. Sen
ator Harrison, cf Indiana, is turning every
stone in his State that will help him to se
cure a solid delegation to the Convention.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, and Senator Al
lison, of Iowa, are said to be carefully feel
ing their way.
According to Judge Wallace, one of the
greatest causes of the miscarriage of justice
in our courts is false swearing from the wit
ness stand. Thisis undoubtedly true. Any
one familiar with court room scenes knows
how prevalent among the lower classes of
people is the idea that to stand by a friend
who is in trouble means to go upon the wit
ness stand and deliberality perjure himself
in his friend's behalf. The teaching of the
church and the school is not sufficient of
itself to eradicate this evil. A few well-di
rected indictments for perjury will do much
to clear the .moral atmosphere of the
court room.-Colwnibia Register.

*Shooting a Convict:
CoLTYxBL&, February -24.- -Special: The
body of Joe Berry, a negro desperado. thief,
and escaped convict, was brought to the
1eitentalry this morning by Mr. R. H.
Davis, the manager of the State farm on
seegers's Big Lake Plantation. About 10
o'clock last Wednesday night, while on his
way from Mr. Lyke's place to Big Lake,
Mr. Davis came face to face with Berry
walking on the track of the South Carolina
Railway in the direction of Columbia. Mr.
Davis says that he recognized him at onca,
but asked him his name and ordered him
to halt. This Bery refused to do and start
ed offon arunl. Mr. Davis by this time
had dismounted and as Berry started he
ired at him. The shot seeming to have no
effect he fired again. Berry, having reach
ed the top of the little cut in which they
were, ran down through a cotton patch, and
Mr. Davis followmng sent a third bullet at
him. He fell, but before he could be reach
ed got up and ran off again. Mr. Davis
ired at him the fourth time, and although
he made dihli'ent search for him could not
find him. He then went to Mr. Welsh,
who lived near by, and told him that he
had shot Joe Berry, and asked him to have
search made for him in the morning and
let him know the result. The body was
discovered in the morning within thirty
'.teps of the place where Davis had last seen?
him.
A jury was empanelled by Trial Justice
Lykes, and an inquest was held on the
body last night. The verdict of the jury
was that the shooting was justifiable.
As Joe Berry, he was sent to the Peniten
tiary for three yeas, in March, 1875, for
burglary and larceny committed in Marion
County. As Henry Johnson, he was sen
tenced to two years imprisonment in Sep.
tembor, 1882, for burglary and larceny com
mitted in Lexington County, and as John
Wiiams he was sentenced to nine years
imprisonment in April 1888 for burglary
and larceny, grand and petit lanceny of live
stock, (three cases,) comnnitted in Richland
County. He escaped from the Columbia
Canal October20. 1888, and was recaptured
by Polieman Bartin near Rabb's row in
this city, on the 21st of December, 1886.
He escaped from the Blackvile and New
berry Railroad on the 2'Zth of August, 1887,
and since that time has terrorized the color
ed peo in almost the whole of the lower
pato hscounty. He was reconzdby
them all as a desperate fellow. When the
body wasfound there was an open knife
lenched in his right hand. showing that
he had determined to defend himself if his
pursuer came to close quarters.
Mr. Davis said that all the colored people
in the neighborhood were rejoiced to hear
of his death, and~ while assisting to put the
body in. a wagn this morming, some, of
them remarke that they were shipping
him out of that section with a great deal of
Lynch Law Near Columbia.
Couxon, S. C., Feb. 24.-An attempt
was made in this county Wednesday night
by a gang of unknown men to cremate a
family alive. A white man, William My
ers, had been liv~ with a colored woman
and had several 'idren. A party, to pun
ish this conduct, surrounded the house,
barred up all doors and windows on the
outside, and set the building on fire in sev
eiral places. An axe was in the house, and
with this Myers cut a hole in the door in
time to save himself and the other inmates
from a terrible death, but they were severe
ly burned.
"Only a Little Hillock."
The Columbia Register says, The Register
was at first disposed to regard the Charles
ton World's advocacy of D. B. Hill for Pres
ident as somewhat on a par with the Regis
ter's advocacy of the great and good Ccorge
W. Childs. But the World actually seems
to be in earnest, such being the case, it will
permit an older if not wiser journal to sug
gest that South Carolina is very poor mis
sionary ground either for protection or the
candidacy of David B. Hill against Grover
Cleveland.
The Register believes that it will have the
practically solid South Carolina behind its
work for Cleveland, Tariff Reform, Civil
Service Reform, and Victory I Hill makes a
good Governor of New York, but gauged by
the Presidential standard, he is only a little
hillock. We can't see him.
Romeopathic Advertising Will Not Pay.
One of the shrewdest and most respected
of the leading American advertisers is P. T.
Barnum. He has always been considered
a man who understood how to advertise,
and he ascribes his success in accumulating
$1,000,000 in twelve years to unlimited ad
vertising. He says: "Whatever your occu
pation or calling may be, if it needs su
port from the public, advertise it thorough.
ly in the public press. A homeopathic dose
of advertising will not pay. It is like half
a dose of physic, making the patient sick,
but effecting nothing. Administer liberal
ly, and the cure for a lack of business will
be sure and permanent. A man must have
a thick skull who cannot see that the cheap
est and best mdium through which to speak
to the public is the newspapers. Put on
the ap rance of business, and generally
the rlty will follow."
Was There Sufficient Reasoni
The cases against the Bowmans and
Keelses have all been continued on the
ground of non-attendance of material wit
nesses for the defense. The Attorney General
objected that the affidavits do not state that
due diligence has been exercised, that the
motion was not to secure delay. But the
Judge said that he assumed that the declar
ation had been made in good faith, and
under the present practice of courtshe could
not force the case to trial.
The diligence used by the defense does
not seem to be very exhaustive. The re
port of the dews and Courier statesthat when
Mr. Moise read the name of Mr. G. C. Ba
cot, as a material witness who could not be
found, the Solicitor remarked that he had
just met Mr. Bacot at the hotel. 'Again, it
was alleged that Capt. Dawson, as editor of
the sews and Courier, was a most important
witness, and could not be found; and yet
on the same day Capt. Dawson was reported
by the ews and Courier as being in Charles
ton and making a speech.
If it be the custom to grant a continuance
for a term, of course, then no affidavits are
necessary; but if diligent search be a pre
requisite for continuance, the public may
judge to what extent it was complied with
in the present instance. The Register does
not desire to prejudice the case. It merely
wishes to call attention to it.-Columbia Reg
ister.
A Sensation of the First Water.
The Chronicle a few days ago briefly men
tioned the marriage at Gaffney City, on the
Air Line Road, of Dr. Atkinson, a druggist
of Chester, S. C., to Miss Florene Little,
the belle of Gaffney. They were married at
Black's Station, about 1 o'clock on the night
of February 12th, and it was thought at the
time that there was something peculiar
about the marriage, and so there was. Dr.
Atkinson's bride had been married a few
days before to another man. It seems that
February 5th was the day set for the mar
riage of Dr. Atkinson and Miss Little. He
reached Gaffney on the evening of the 4th,
andfound that his intended had gone bug
gy riding with a young man named Mintz,
who was one of her former sweethearts.
The par did not return until next morning,
and D. Atkinson, incensed at the conduct of
the young lady, returned to his home. She
began a correspondence with him and mut
ual explanations and a reconciliation follow
ed. It was arranged that they should meet at
Black's station and be united in the bcnds
of matrimony. The ceremony was per
formed as already mentioned, and Dr. At
kison and his bride went on to their future
home in Chester. It has since transpired
that the-young lady was married to Mintz
on the occasion of the buggy ride. It is
said that they went to the residence of Rev.
J. G. Carter and were married by him, the
minister agreeing to a pledge of secrecy for
a term of two years. Groom N~o 1, it is
said, is under age, but claims that Miss
Little belongs to him, as she married him
first.-Charlotte Chronicle.
TORPID LIVER
Is known by these marked peculiarities:
1. A feeling of weariness and pains in the
limbs.
2. Bad breath, bad taste in thle mouth,
and furred tongue.
3. Constipation, with occasional attacks
of diarrhcea.
4. Headache, in the front of the head:
nausea, dizziness, and yellowness of
skin.
5. Heartburn, loss of appetite.
6. Distention of the stomach and bowels
by wind.
7. Depression of spirits, and great melan
choly, with lassitude and a disposition
:to leave everything for to-morrow.
A natural flow of Bile from the Liver
is essential to good health. When tils
is obstructed It results in - .
- BILIOUSNESS,
which, if neglected, soon leads to serious
diseases. Simmons Liver Regulatorexerts
a most felicitous influence over every kind
or biliousness. It restores the Liver to
propr working order, regulates the seere
tion of bile and puts the digestiv'e organs
in such condition that they can do their
best work. After takmngthis medicinle no
one will say, "I am bilious.''
"I have been subject to severe spells of Con
gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of
taking from 35 to grains of calomnel which gen
erally laid me up for three or four days. Lately I
have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator.
which gave me relief without any interruption to
business."--J. Huco, hiiddleport, Ohio.
