A special to the Charleston World, dated Birmingham, Ala., June 25th, says, "Baker & Bowman is the style of a new law firm of this city and is composed ofS. H. Baker, of Texas, and Peyton G.

We are pleased to note how highly Miss Sallie Levi is spoken of in the account of the closing exercises of the St. Joseph's Academy, from which Miss Sallie was grad. uated last month. We make the following extracts from the Watch?~man an2d Sou'ron : "T1he vocal duet 'Come where the violets blow' by Misses Emma Strauss and Anita De Lorme, piano accompaniment by Miss Eva Von Dohlen, guitar accompaniment by Miss Sallie Levi, completely won the audience's heart, and all of the fair ones who took partin this piece received an ovation of applause. e The piano duo, 'Happy Thoughts, was composed by Miss Sallie Levi, of Man ning, whose talent for music is said to be most remarkable. It was most deftly ren dared by Misses Ada Cooper and Mary Comerford. Gold medals were awarded for proficiency in music to Miss Sallie Levi and Miss Katie Reatrdon. ** Miss.es Sal. lie Levi, Aija Herriot and Katie Agnew re ceiva honors for their skill in painting." To-day is the glorious Fourth. Handkerchiefs, 2c. Levi's, Sumter. The Foreston picnic has been post poned. F. Levi, of Sumter, is selling color ed lawns at 4 cents. Sumter has a steam fire engine. A fire will be next in order. The Sumter papers deny that ty phoid fever exists in that city. Another barroom was opened in town last Monday, by Henry Wein berg. The Foreston and Kingstree base ball clubs will play a match game to day at Martin's Lake. The county commissioners met last Thursday, and disbursed two or three hundred dollars. So as to give all hands a fair chance to enjoy the 4th, we publish the TmEs this week, Tuesday afternoon. The county convention meets next Monday, July 9th. A great many candidates will be in town that day. There was a large crowd in town, principally negroes, last Monday. They wanted to see the Supervisor of Registration. The roads and bridges over Ox Swamp are said to be in g; at need of work. People love good and. safe roads and bridges. A base ball game was played last Saturday at Juneville, between the Juneville and Panola clubs. Panola won the game by a score of 20 to 18. The Santee base ball club will play the Panola, at Capt. D. W. Brails ford's, on the evening of the 12th. The public invited, especially the ladies. Persons desiring to purchase gins are specially directed to the adver tisement of the Cameron and Barkley Co., who advertise to sell three "way below cost." Mrs. Counts, wife of Rev. J. C. Counts, of the S. C. Conference, died in Laurens county, Saturday, June 23rd. Mrs. Counts's mother died the following day. The law card of Wm. H. Ingram, Esq., appears in this issue. He has determined to locate in this place for the practice of law. The Trmms ex tends to Mr. Ingram its best wishes for success. In a storm in this place last week lightning struck a telegraph pole near the railroad depot, shattering it and several other poles. The telegraph instrument in the depot was partially melted, and a piece of paper connect ed with it set on fire. Jos. H. Montgomery, Esq., who was recently gratuated in law from the S. C. College, arrived in town last Thursday evening. The following morning he got a case in the trial justice's court. This was quite com plimentary to our young friend. The notices of Mr. Alexander's marriage, and of Mr. Burgess' agency for a book were "pied" last week, while "emptying" them into the "form." We regret the accident, but regret did not reset the type. Both notices appear in this column this week. We have been requested by the board of county commissioners to say that the presentment by the grand jury, at the May ternm of court, of the county commissioners for malfeasance in office, had no reference to the pres ent board, but to the board that pre ceded them. A gentleman from the Fork tells uis that in Black River Swamp a deer recently took up with a cow, follow ing her around and sucking her like a calf. The cow had a calf at honje, but seemed perfectly satisfied with the new arrangement and did not re turn toher calf. The deer has been killed. We are informed that the roads in some parts of the county are in a ter rible condition. In some places where a road passes through a field, the plow has cut on both sides the track, making it very unpleasant, as it is then impossible to drive without running over the beds. This is a di rect violation of the law, and road commissioners should not allow it. The fearful and if-it--had-been-any body-else fatal accident received by Ap Frierson some time ago does not seemed to have benefitted his morals. He and his father came into this town Monday of last week, and collected some six or seven or mor-e dollars for the ostensible purpose of sending Ap to the hospital in Charleston. They likewise collected for the same pur pose other amounts from Foreston, Greeleyville, and Lanes; then they concluded it wo-.ld not be best to send Ap to Charleston. Mr. A. Plumer Burgess is now can vassing agent for "Laws of Business for all the States in the Union," by Theophilus Parsons, LL. D. The necessity for such a work as this has long been felt by farmers, me chanics, merchants, and all other bus iness men. The book is thorough and complete, leaving nothing to be desired. It gives in the simplest form and clearest possible manner all the facts and forms necessary to en able every person to understand the laws of business. Altogether it is a valuable book of reference. Mr. G. Alexander, of Manning, and Miss Minnie Brown, of Marion, were married in Marion, at the residence of the bride's parents, June 20th, by Rev. R Levy. They were mnarried by the beautiful Jewish ceremony, at the close of which the customary glass was broken by the groom into thousand pieces. There were fomx bridesmaids and four groomsmen The supper was a magnific-?nt one and several speeches were made al the supper. Mr. and Mrs. Alexandei reached Mdanning the next morning and are stopping at Maj. Benbow's Our best wishes to the happy ecuple and our thanks for a package of wed Iding cake. One more candidate this week. A heavy rain fell in this place Sun day night, to the great pleasure of every one. Miss Alice Connor was the only ap plicant yesterday for the Winthrop scholarship. Pension claimants can easily get their checks cashed in town at par, dollar for dollar. We hope our correspondents will ,write us regularly. Nothing in the Tnas is more interesting than the county correspondence. A protracted meeting is in progress at the new Methodist church at Har vins, in which the people are taking deep interest. Several persons have joined the church, The meeting will continue during the week. Endorsements of candidates by clubs, as we have stated before, must be paid for. It would be doing an injustice to other candidates to pub lish such free. When a club wishes to emphasize the candidacy of any one, let it be willing $5's worth. The Legislative committee, for the investigation of the financial affairs of Clarendon County, began its work yesterday. An organization was ef fected by electing S. A. Nettles chair man, and Jos. H. Montgomery secre tarv. Mr. MosestLevi has just finished tak ing stock, and he says that for the next thirty days he will sell at cost, prepar atory to buying his fall stock of goods. He asks that every body come to his store, and see how cheap he will sell goods. Clarendon's Taxable Property. County Auditor, D. J. Bradham furnishes us with the following statistics. It is a good showing, there being $60,823 more of taxable property this year than last, and last year there was a considerable increase : Acres...........452.742, value $ 701,430 Buildings... ...6,085, " 163,340 Lots, in towns.......177, " 37,025 Buildings, in towns. .2v3, " 77,940 Total... ........... $ 979,735 Val.ue of Personal Property.... 617,532 Value of Railroad Property.... 154,400 Total Property 88-9........... $1,751,667 Total Property 87-8........... 1,690.844 Increase 88-9 over 87-88 $ 60,823 Marriage in High Life. On last Wednesday night amidst rela tives and many admiring friends Miss Minnie, a charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Brown, was united in holy wedlock to Mr. Gustave Alexander, of Man ning. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Levy in the impressive and imposing ceremony customary among the Jews. The bride appeared on the arm of the groom elegantly dressed in white satin en train and diamonds, and never was bride more fair or groom more hAndsome. After the ceremony one of the most elegant sup pers ever laid in town was served and mirth and happiress reigned supreme un til the hour of departure of the newly wed ded couple who took the eleven o'clock train for their home. Many prominent gentlemen and ladies from a distance and of our town were present. The presents were both numerous and handsome. The Star wishes the young couple who have started on life's rugged road a pleasant journey.-Marion Star. Entawville Railroad. Col R. S. Pringle, who has just finished a contract of grading on the Blackville, Als ton and Newberry Railroad, has concluded a contract for similar work on the Eutaw yille Railroad, and has carried his one hun dred convicts that he has been using on the old contract over to his new work on the Clarendon side of the Santee and is now pushing on to Sumter. The News and Courier says the directors of the Penitentia ry are perfectly satisfied with Col. R. S. Pringle's treatment of the convicts under his care, and have renewed his lease, and that the work will be pushed as fast as pos sible, and an effort will be made to have the road in thorough running order this fall. It is proposed to haul the cotton of Sumter and Clarendo~n to Charleston this winter over the Eutawville Road.-Orangeburg Efmes and Democrat. Summerton's N~ew Church. Sumomeor, July 3.-The new Summer ton Baptist church was dedicated last Sun day. Rev. Dr. T. M. Bailey preached the dedicatory sermon. His text was "Christ and Him crucified," and the sermon was a strong, forcible, able one, well delivered. At the close of the sermon, Rev. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, made some pertinent remarks, after which the building was dedi cated to the service of God. In the afternoon, at the Sunday-school mass meeting, Dr. Bailey made one of the best Sunday-school speeches I ever listened to. Rev. Brown preached a sermon at night, after which the ordinance of baptism was administered. Dr. Bailey also preach ed Saturday morning, and R1ev. Brown Sat urday night. The church was crowded at all these services. C. Martin's Lake Picnic Postponed. Fonzs-roi, June 29.-Mr. Editor :-I re gret to say that through the interference of some of the citizens in the vicinity, the Foreston Sunday-chool picnic at Martin's Lake on the 4th of July has been abandon ed. It is to be regretted on account of the disappointment to the children, who had been looking forward to a day of enjoy ment. Yours respectfully, R. E. HUDGINS. Notes from Jordan. Jonas, June 27.-Upon returning home after the close of school, I found all of the farmhands at work. Feeling it my duty to lend a helping hand to those around, I went into the field, but finding the heat a little too much, I soon returned to the house, there resolving to stay provided I found nothing else to do. But the kind hand of Providence seemed to lean in my favor, and I found something else to do. A friend proposcd to me to ta~ke a school in the neighborhood. I acquiesced with alacrity, the duties of which I have been trying to fulfil cver since. The crops in this part of the county have been suffering very much for rain, but we had a light shower to-day that will carry them a little further. The corn-crop is very poor-will not make more than a half crop f iweeto have good seasons from now on. The cotton crop is fine. I attended preaching Sunday the 24th, at Jordan. The pastor, Rev. J1. 5. Porter, be ing a little late, confined himself to reading -the Rules and Requirements of his church, of which he left not a leaf unturned or a Clarendon Democratic Clubs. MANNING. DELEGATES-W.

On motion it was unanimously adopted that this club pledges itself to vote only for such candidates for the Legislature as favor reform and retrenchment in the adminis tration of our State and County govern ment; the immediate acceptance by the State of the Clemson bequest; the establish ment of a separate Agricultural College ; the calling of a Constitutional Convention, whereby the people can be relieved of ex cessive taxation and the maintenance of useless offices.

McFaddin for the House, but Mr. McFaddin in a select and >eautiful little speech. declined to become a candi date. Mr. McFaddin in his speech, very plainly showed that that fire which aroused the democracy of '76, still lingers in his breast, during this time of peace and plenty. J. H. MtONTGOMERY, Sec.

Ingram: Therefore, be it resolved, 1st, That in the death of Dr. Ingram this club loses a valu able president, a wise counsellor, and an active member. 2nd, That in his death, the democracy of our county and State has sustained a great loss, and the community has lost one of its best and most respected citizens. 3rd, That we deplore his death, and ex tend to his family our heartfelt sympathy in their sore bereavement. 4th, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of the deceased, and they be given to the Clarendon Enterprise and the Manning Tnzs for publication.

There was some primary skirmishing over the delegates to represent the Friend ship Democratic club at the convention. The club met at the usual hour on the 30th, with a pretty good attendance. Consider able interest was manifested, and two tick ets for delegates were in nomination. This club has always been pretty much divided in politics. It was clearly apparent that the friends are at work for their choice in candidates. It was never so developed that voters are at sea, for their minds are not settled: they are drifting about trying to fix their choice in~ this canvass. I find it to be too early yet to form any just conclu sion as to who may be the choice of the peo ple. Coming issues are to be met. Some of them when discussed may lead to divis ion, unsettle the mind, and cpen wide breaches that may lead to party lines. This is more or less the' case. It will be so as long as men want office. The following delegates were chosen to seats ir. the -con vention: E. B. Felder, A. P. Ragia, J. H. T. Coallette, L. N. Richbourg. TOM. Too Much General and Colonel. Now is the time for tlie taxpayers to come forward in their might and cast about for good men to send as delegates to, the con vention. Send ruen who have practiced already the reform that we need. Tihe men vho have permitted a foolish sentiment to guide them up to this time are not the ones to risk now. Our people are poor indeed, and those men who caa support no one for office but the Generals and Colonels, etc., should be left at home. There never was a state more overridden by sentiment and nonsense than South Carolina has been, and not until we get a real live, successful business man at the helm will we be able to rise. The great trouble has been too much General and too m uich Colonel. Put these men on a level with the others, and don't permit that empty title to outweigh merit and ability in otheia.-Camden Jour Let us Have a Fair Race. There is an uprising all over the State against levying church contributions fer public office, It is wrong in principle ev ery way you look at it. It is nothing more nor less that an offer to sell the votes of church members indirectly, and it opens a way for candidates to buy their way into of fcee. We hore no subscription lists will be presented to the candidates in Anderson County this year, and if such is done we trust t'he several candidates will have the Beulah academy Conmcernent. BETHLEHEM, June 23.-The summer ses sion of the Ehulah Academy, conducted so efficiently by Prof. B. B.

The exercises were closed with excellent addresses by Prof. Thompson on "The Fu ture of South Carolina," and by Rev. W. C. Gleaton on "Moral and Spiritual Educa tion." Messrs. P. G. Benbow and D. J. Bradham, being present, were called upon. They both responded in short and appro priate speeches. Capt Bradham utilized the occasion to say some good things for the temperance cause. I am afraid, how ever, that his suggestions will bear little fruit until "hard cider time" is over. Dunng intervals in the exercises excel lent instrumental music was furnished the large audience by Messrs. Ben F. Jones, on the cornet ; J. T. McNeil, on the Violin ; with Mrs. McNeil, on the organ. It was just grand. Crops in this section are very backward on account of the wet spring and grass. A full crop is impossible. Oats harvested fine. Candidates are on the wing, and so are spring chickens and potatoes. It is respectfully suggested, in a kind and con ciliatory spirit, that candidates postpone the agony of the canvass until crops are "layed by," and this hot and sultry weather mod erates. Capt. J. M. Knight has been extremely ill, but I am glad to say under the skilful treatment of Dr. T. R. Kelly and a kind Providence he is better. SALEM. The Auditor's Facts and Figures. MD. EDrron:-The Treasurer makes a statement in your issue of 20th June, which requires notice at my hands. He says: "This statement is made from the record itself, and I refer any one to the record for proof." Let us see if the record will hear him out in his statement. 1. The Tieasurer says: "Er. ag'st Miller Harvin, Harmony T. (poll and prop'ty), page 139, line 18. Reopt No. 2687 found is .fuitoni Harvin on page 205, lhne 11, and marked paid. 2 entries." The record says Milton Harrison, on page 205, line 11, and is marked paid. 2. Treasurer says: "Bx. ag'st Mrs. Cather - ine Evans (property). Brewington township, p. 121, 1. 2S. Reecpt 4408 found is Mrs. H. C. Evans on same page, and marked paid. 2 entries." The record says there is a charge against Mrs. 1L C. Evans for $45 personal property and 157 acres of land $327, making $372 to tl property; tax $4.55, and marked paid. And on same page line 28, will be found charged against Catherine Evans, 64 acres of land, $140; tax $1.71 and not marked paid. (I am informed this last should be Eliza Evans.) Are these double entries? 3. The Treasurer says: "Er. ag'st Lem Brown (poll), Midway T., p. 145, 1. 34. Rept found is ,James Brown (poll and propy) page 145, line 14, and marked paid. 2 en ties." Are these double entries? 4 The Treasurer says: "Er. ag'st Col. Johnson (poll), Midway T., p. 207, 1. 10. Recpt No. 2527 found is Caleb Johnson, New Zion T., p. 148, 1. 20. Marked paid." The record says that Caleb Johnson and Col. Johnson have both paid in Midway township by ad.ditionals, and that neither of them paid in New Zion on the original book. 5. The Treasurer says: "EL. ag'st Harvey Tindal (poll) Calvary T., p.21. 1. 13. Reept No. 2729 found is Harvey Tindal in Sarnmy Swamp township. page '34, line 30. Mark ed paid. 2 entri is." The record says Harvey Tisdale, not Tin. dal, p. 21, line 13. Can these be double entries? 6. The Treasurer says: "Er. ag'st Henry Hanberry (poll and propty) Fulton T., p. 5, 1. 6. Receipt No. 28938 is same name in Cal vary T. Paid by additional issued for Cal vary. making '2 entries." 'The record says, page 189, line 20, Henry Husbands. Can these be double entries ? 7. The Treasurer says: "Ex. ag'st Terry Dingle (poll) Santee T., p. 50, 1. 8. Reept No. '363 found is same name in St. James township (poll and property) p. 198. 1. 9, and marked paid. '2 entries."

Different name and town ship. 2 entries." The record says Isaiah James, Santee T., 1 poll, unpaid. Isaac James p. 81, line 14 (poll and property), tax $1.18. and marked paid. Are these double entries? I might go an and examine each separate case selected by the Treasurer, but time will not admit. Tho Treasurer does not take in to consideration Seniors and Juniors, and there are many in the County. Sonme times there are .Junior Juniors, and all these ap pear in the same township, and are mark. ed paid. This controversy has been unpleasant to me, and this shall be the close, ,so far as I am concerned. I hold myself ready at any time to make good what I have said. from the record, and must insist that the rare and common occurence remain where it was as stated in my first reply. Very respectfuily, DAN'L J. BR'ADHAM, Co. Auditor. Result of the Bond Trial. CRALFsTOx, June 30.-The curtain went down on the great Corpse Trust case to-day, and the portals of the penitentiary within a few days will close upon such of the con spirators as the law could get its clutches upon. The scene was in many respects a re markable one. Through one week of the hottest spells ever experienced in Charles ton, the spacious court room has been thronged by hundreds of suffering human ity braving suffocation in order to witness the trials. The number of convictions this term, de spite the leniency of the juries, were larger than they have been for many years. There were several convictions besides the corpse trustees-1 for murder, 4 for burglary, 3 for highway robbery, and 9 for lprceny and other offenses. The conspirators were sentenced as fol lows: John H. Bond and L. M. Shaffer, ave years; J. P. Bond, three years; Tom Bond, three years; R. E. L. Shaffer, one yeas and six months; Henry Matthews, six months-all in the penitentiary at hard labor; and Mary Dudley, thirty days in jail. All the other conspirators were dis charged. The investigation into the conspiracy commenced in March last, and the swindled insurance companies have spent $10,000 in its successful unearthing. The next phase of the affair will, it is pre sumed, be the effort of the insurance com panies to. recover some of their lost money. To do this they will have to bring suits against the New York banks through which the drafts were paid. In case the suits are successful, then the Charleston banks will probably come in, but this will be a long time hence. Gov. tichardson's Idea. The address of Governor.Richardson be for. the Greenwo.od Male High School last Friday, was worthy of the occasion and the man. He said he had not come for the pur pose of making an annual oration as was stated of him in his introduction ;o the au dience, but he desired to urge the claims of education upon the people through the channel of the common school system to which the State was committed. He inci dentally repelled the charge that we were a tax-ridden people, and showed by a com parison with other States that we paid a less State tax than any other people. He said that the State had nothing to do with the county taxes, and if that was heavy it was the fault of the county which imposed it, and the State was not chargeable with it. Gov. Richardson spoke without notes and held the rapt attention of the large audience for an hour. He was frequently applauded. -Greenwood Tribune. A Cruel Corner in Coffee. NEw Yonk, June 29.-A corner in June coffee was sprung upon the speculative market this morning. When operators having June Coffee to deliver attempted to buy it they found it was all held by S. Gru ner & Co. and Crossman Brothers, who rep resent the bull clique. In the first hour of business the price advanced 5j cents a pound, opening with a sale at 12t cents and advanced to 13 cents on the first call on sales of 1,250 tags. After the call it rose one cent at a time until noon, when 18 cents was bid and no coffee found for sale. In the afternoon a selling price was fixed on by brokers for the bull houses, making transactions at 21 and 21.05 cents per pound, an advance of 805 points since the opening. The brokers claim that the short interest is very small. Interesting- to Ladies. Our lady readers can hardly faiL to have their attention called this week to the latest combination of improvements in that most useful of all domestic implements, the "sew ing machine." As we understand it, a machine for fami ly use should meet first of all these require ments: It should be simple in its mechan ism; it should run easily; it should do a wide range of work; it should be as nearly noisless as possible; it should be light, handsome, durable, and as cheaphas is con sistent with excellence throughout. These conditions the "Light-Running New Home" certainly meets. It has also several very important and useful attach ments and "notions" of its own, which go far to make good its claiins to popular favor. The "New Home" specially recommends itself to purchasers on account of its supe rior mechanical construction, ease of man agement and reasonable price. Over half a million have been sold in the last three years. all of which are giving universal sat isfaction. This unrivalled machine is man ufactured by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINEX CO., Orange, Mass., and 30 Union Sq'2are, New York. [From the Sumter Advance.] How a Carolina Negro made a President. In January last, there died in the historic city of Columbia, South Carolina, an aged negro named William Beverly Nash; his residence was situated on Taylor's Hill, which is one of the most picturesque por tions of Carolina's beautiful capital city. This man was a full-blooded negro, and had been a slave in Columbia; at one time he was a boot-black, but destiny had greater things in store for this descendant of the swarthy Ethiopian. than the menial occupa tion of blacking boots. He became a prom inent actor in the political world, during the stirring days of "radical misrule" in the Palmetto State, and is said to have been the man who caused Rutherford B. Hayes, in stead of Samuel J. Tilden, to be seated as President of the United States. Colonel A. K. McClure told us, several years ago, how this happened. Writing to the Philadel phia Times, from Columbia, about promi nent negro leaders, he thus told the story of Beverly Nash, the Negro Warwick, who, he says, '-was an omnipotent local leader for a time, making himself Senator and Presi dential Elector in 1876. He held the fate of Hayes in his hands when the result in the State was questioned, and he made the most of it. He publicly professed to have received a large offer from the Democrats to vote for Tilden, but whites and blacks un derstood that it was simiply notice .that the Republicans must pay his price, and it had to be done." Doubtless Nash did receive offers of bribes to cast his Eiectoral vote for Tilden; if he had done so, how different the history ofg our country would have been ! How strange does it seem that fate should place in the grasp of a black Carolina negro, the power of making a certain man President of the American Ujnion ! McDONALD FURMAN.

[Iom the Pittsburgh Press A lady went to the White House recently to obtain the President's autograph. Hand ing Mr. Pruden, the Executive clerk, a bright, clean sheet of tinted note paper with her monogram upon it, she requested that gentleman to ask Mr. Cleveland to inscribe his name thereon. Mr. Pruden,. always obliging, went to the President's private o~e to secure the favor for the lady. Re turning in a few moments be said : "The President sends his compliments, and says that if you will bring your autograph al bum he will be glad to write his name in it, but he never puts his signature on a blank piece of paper." The lady was rather taken aback, but, thanking Mr. Pruden for his kindness, re tm-ned home to bring her album. The book being a trifle dingy in appearance, and also quite fall of autographs. she de termined to purchase a new one, and have the President's signature to "start it." Pro ceeding to Ballantyne's book store on the avenue, she bought a new and handsome album, and repaired to the White House, arriving there within twenty minutes from the time she had left. Mr. Pruden smiling, took the book and repaired to the President to obtain his autograph for the persevering lady. Returning, he gave the book to the lady, who, thanking him, left for her home. Upon arriving there she opened the album to gaze on the valued inscription, and found the following : Woman's name--hers but to give aRay! A man's his all; it should not go astray. Gxovrna CEmDzan.
