His sallies of wit and humor were much enjoyed by all during Court. He is a "good one" all the same. We hope Mr. Montgomery is not a rising young lawyer. for we think he is certainly high enough now-being over six feet. -Mr. J. B. Auld and fmily, who have been in Orlando, Florida, for some. years, " returned to Clarendon last week. Mr. Auld expects to return to Florida next fall. He speaks in glowing terms of Florida. He says when he left there gardens were well advanced, and that the people there in a week or two will be enjoying all kinds of veables. Orlando has about 6,000 in habitants, a fine system of water works, street railway, etc., and is one of the most progressive towns in that State. Mr. Auld, while in this county, will reside near Jor dan. Losr-A small key was lost last week. The finder will be rewarded if he will leave it at the Trmss office.

Mrs. Isaac Kaufman, of Morristown, Ind., chewed so much chewing gum last Wednesday that the muscles of her face became paralyzed, and she was compelled to send for a physician before she could open her mouth. Wash Logan of the Fork sec:ion had a preliminary hearing beire U S. Commissioner W. J. Clark, last Friday, charged with selling whiskey without a U. S. license, and was com mitted to jail. Wash Logan is the young white man who sued the Cen tral Railroad for damages because the fast mail train knocked him off the track while he was walking on it, dur ing a shower of rain. The case for damages was tried last October, and he lost it. Logan will be kept in jail here till the U. S. court meets in Charleston, when he will be tried. Court House Notes. The Sheriff and Treasurer and Auditor and Trial Justices are laying their plans to swoop down on the defaulting tax payer, and the fellow who is laboring under the delusion that there is no law whereby he can be made to pay his poll tax may very shortly find there is. And in case he does not see fit to pay, or cannot pay, his poll tax and the accrued costs, he will be given thirty days to meditate thereon in the county pigeon house. Jailer Strange expects the demands on him for room to be more than he can accommodate. Mr. John J. Bryant was examined yesterday by two physicians, as to whether or not he was crazy. They pronounced him not crazy. The charge of lunacy was made by his wife on account of some unpleasant domestic infelicities. James Montgomery, colored, son of Henry Montgomery, of. Jordan, was last Monday adjudged a lunatic. Sheriff Lesesne carried him to the Asylum yesterday. Treasurer Jos. Sprott was confined last Friday and Saturday to his room on account of an attack of rheuma tism, but to the gratification of his many friends he was well enough to be in his office this week. The county commissioners did not hold a meeting last Friday, there be ing no business requiring their imme diate attention. The time for returns by executors, administrators, and guardians expired on the 1st instant. Those who have not attended to this matter should do so at once. and relieve the Probate Judge of the disagreeable duty of compelling them to do so. Sunday Preaching. There will be no preaching in the Presbyterian church next Sunday, the pastor, Rev. Jas. McDowell, being ab sent at a country church. There will be no preaching in the Baptist church next Sunday. The pastor Rev. T. J. Rooke, will preach in Foreston that day. 1kv. J. S. Porter will preach at Jor dan next Sunday. Rev. H. Mf. Mood has accepted an invitation to preach in the Methodist church at Sumter next Sunday morn ing, and in consequence there will be no services in the Manning Methodist church on that day. That Corn Prize. Mr. John Thames, of this place, ex pects to enter the race for the $1,000 corn prize. Hle has withink the cor porate limits of the town, some of the finest corn land in the State. Last year he made seventy-five bushels corn to the acre, and the year before eighty five, and he used no fctilizers at all He is a young man, hardly grown yet, but is one of the best corn farmers in the State. He feels pretty confident he. can win the prize. Mr. R. Rt Hudgins, of Foreston, so we are informed, is making all prepar 'ations to win the prize for Foreston. He will plant to make more than two hundred bushels corn to the acre. Mr. Hudgins is a good farmer, and has made some fine corn about Foreston. We suppose others of Clarendon will also contend for this prize, and we hope some one of our farmers will succeed in winning it.

Farming baekward-The Scalded Victims of the Explosion better-His place can not be filled. SimroN, March 4.-"It never rains but it pours," nevertheless the farmers are doing the very best they can between rains. We are considerably behind in the farming line, but with a week's fair weather we can do a great deal with muscle properly di rected. We are glad to report the unfortunate, scalded ones in the late mill explosion rap. idly improving. Mr. A. P. Ragin can see out of 'each of his eyes. It was seriously ferel that he would lose the sight of both. Moses Jones is getting over his wounds and scalds. Summerton is sad and sozrowful at the loss of one of our best and whole-souled citizens, John Ingram. "God moves in a mysterious way." He was a man in the true sense of the word. No one can point to a thing little or mean in his compoun d. He was quiet and unobtrusive, making no display of his good deeds, yet noted for be ing a man of unbounded charity. To him we are indebted, in a large degreo, for the building of an academy, he havimg furnish ed the lumber at a very reasonable rate, and on considerable time. We can't see how his place can be filled in this comimunity. His family has the sincere symnpathy of the whole surrounding country. No special news in our village. C. Work, Work, Work with a Will. Wn.soss, March 4.-As for news we can't serape up any that would be of interest to your readers. The weather has been so very severe the past week that we could not stir out to get newr., and weguess our neigh Ibor are about in the same fix, for very few of them came our way. We note in a recent issue of the Tas Da.e -ur.rt,.'e ,-1 n havxe come to the conclusion that Dave did in that as a good many other things he says, hit the nail square on the bead, when he says this is a great big world of push, and needs lots of pluck and perseverance to pull out of the ruts of conceit, laziness, and carelessness, that a good many of us have fallen into since the war. The fact is we are about to be swallowed up in them. This being ashamed of honest work and trying to live on our noble ancestry won't do. Now I am not using Dave's words but I am striking at his conclusions. But then we old timers are about buried in the past. We like to sit and bemoan our lost past greatness; we live in the past. There is no bread or butter in that, yet we can't real ize it: we cling to it as we do to our lives. Let us get out of the old ruts, and let us take Dave's advice, my old companions in laziness. Let us pull -off our coats, roll up our sleeves, and show our manhood by our works and not in idle boasting of our past greatness, we will then be better prepared to live independently the balance of our few days on earth, and a brighter hope of a bet ter world when this short life is over. Our children will love us more,-but enough. J. IT IS A CURIOUS FACT That the body is now more susceptible to benefit from medicine than at any other season. Hence the importance of taking Hood's Sarsaparilla now, when it will do you the most good. It is really wonderful for purifying and enriching the blood, creat ing an appetite, and giving a healthy tone to the whole system. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla, which is peculiar to itself.

Those who have traveled on the Charles ton public road, which joins the George= town road in Privateer Townbtip, will re-. member a small, solitary and decayed old plank house. (locally known as the Tom Da vis place) which stands a short distance below the Sumter and Clarendon County line, and on the left side of the road as you go down into Clarendon. Those wuo have the curiosity to examine this abandoned old building, will find that it consists of what was once two rooms and a loft. It is sitrated in a quiet, lonesome piece of coun try and has such a deserted, sad appearance, that several persons who have passed by it, have mentally re,.aarked: "What a horribly lonesone looking old house." This building is an interesting relic of the past. in an old work-Robert Mill's Atlas of South Carolina-we have a large map of -Sumter District," which comprised what now constitutes Sumter and Clarendon, also a part of the new county of Florence. This map was made from a survey of 1821, and on it we find "Ben Evans's Tavern." By inquiry I learned that the old Davis house was the Evans tavern. I have talked with several old people about this house, and from what I can learn, I suppose that it (or a portion of it) is eighty or a hundred years old. Ben Evans was a hatter by trade who lived here and from him it was called "Evans's Tavern.' A woman kept the tavern, which (to use the language ox an old citiven of Privateer Township) was not a hotel, just "a groggery." It appears to have been a row dy place. People would gather here and engage in the pastime of drinking and light ing. In the fights, the participants used nature's weapons-their fists. In those ear ly times, when there were no railroads, doubtless numbers of people passed by this tavern, as they were going to or coming from Charleston, and probably a good many of them used to stop here "to get a drink." After the house ceased to be tavern, a man named Tom Davis lived -here for a while and from him it received its pr esent name. Whiit a change has come over this old house; when a tavern it seems to have been a very noisy and lively place, but now it is a deserted old building, remarkable only for its aged and lonesomie appearance. The chimney at one end has disappeared; there are several windows, but with one excep tion, the shutters are gone from them and the house itself is settling on the ground. This venerable building suggests to us an interesting fact-the people 01 our .day are more temperate than they were in those early times; an old lady talking to the writ er about this tavern, said: "Whiskey selling was common then." Mills, in his "Statistics of South Carolina" (I quote from memory) says these taverns were common in Sumter District and were bad places, but in our times, country taverns in this portion of South Carolinia and pr'obablf troughout the entire State, are thii.'gs of the past. Public sentiment would hardly allow a rowdy road side tavern, such as the Evans tavern was, to exist now. McDomnL- F'UnR.'f Ramsey, Sumter Co., Feb. 15, 189 0. and O.TEA The 010l08e 70 Te Rue? ereL.

PrrrsBUBG, Pa., March 4.-A special from Charleston, W. Va., says that Gen. Gpfi, the Republican candidate for Governor and claimant to the office, took the oath in one of the rooms of the State House set apart for the use of the Governor. About the same -time, in another apart ment, President Carr, of the Senate, also took upon himself the prescribed oath and was empowered to transact the business of the office, while in his private office E. W. Wilson who had filled the position for the past four years, continued in form at least to discharge the duties, while in and about the State House there was gathered a tre mendous crowd of people about equally di vided between the two political parties. About 12.30 o'clock Gen. Goff and sever al friends came into the Capital and pro ceeded to the private office of CoL Wilson, who was also surrounded by a number of friends. Gen. Goff mounted a chair and addressed the crowd which had assembled in the room, He claimed that he had received a clear ma jority of votes, and charged Speaker Woods, of ttie Hogse of Delegates, with having failed in the performance of his constitu tional duties in not declaring tLe result. He then demanded the office of Wilson, but was refused. Carr made a similar demand with like result, and thus the matter stands. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varnes.
