Bradham is adding another 60 saw gin, feeder, and condenser to his al ready well equipped ginnery, and says he will be able to gin and pack a bale of cotton this fall in fifteen minutes-And as neatly as can be done in the county. We learn. that W. P. DuRant, an expostinaster, has gone to Summer todoi~ induct 3. R Tarleton into the ysteries of keeping a post offce. We presume by this that Tarleton has received his commission, and expects to take charge of the Summerton post offce at once. A Missouri grocer advertises that any man who takes two drinks of whiskey a day for a year, at the cost of ten cents each, can have for the same money at his store thirty sacks of flour, 220 pounds of granulated su gar, twenty-two pounds of good coffee, and save $2.50 as a premium for mak ing the exchange. John McFall, a negro boy nearly grown, was at the trial justice's office yesterday morning, with his head in a bandage and his arm in a sling, to swear out a warrant for assault and battery against John Williams anoth er negro. He says he was quietly sitting in his house at Alderman's mill, where he works, when this negro. who claims to be from Wilsons Mills, came to him and began cursing him. McFall protested he hadn't said or done anything to deserve a cursing, and endeavored to get up, when Wil liams stabbed him, with a knife, in the side of his head. He then cut a second time at him barely missing his throat, and imbedding.- the knife in the muscular part of his right arm, just below the shoulder, making a gash about two inches long. WVil. hams then hastily made his departure, and hasn't been heard of since. The others who were in the house were afraid to follow Williams. The affair occured the eadly part of Monday night. McFall thinks it was pure devilish meanness that caused Wil lams to cut him. One of the 'pleasantest social events of the season was the Rainbow Party at the residence of Mr. Moultrie Bag nal, on last Wednesday evening. Rain bows are of somewhat ancient origin, but the social gatherings known as "Rainbow" parties are comparatively modern affairs. The manner in whict they are conducted is for each young lady who attends to wear an unhem med apron ; cravats are prepared, o: the same shade as each apron. ThE young men draw the cravats, matel shades, and are required to hem th< apron of the young lady whose cravai they possess. The aprons of the young ladies on Wednesday evening were 0: the most coquettish patterns imagin able, and of many and divers colors A vast deal of amusement was hai over the needlework of the embry< tailors. Their sewing on this occasior should not be criticised too severely however, nor should it be taken as 'fair sample of what they can do ; fo: what young man, no matter what hi; attainments in that direction, is ther< who can use a needle gracefully an< welwhen a pair of bright eyes ii watching every movement ? -Wha -wonder is it that hands trembled, fa ces flushed and hearts, mayhap, bea Sfaster ? The god of the little arrow go Sin some fine work on Wednesday even ing. The prizes for the best and wors work were awarded to Messrs W. T r Fifty thnvsand pounds rags wantd at G. lexanaersq..

Cobia, of Santee, has the best cotton and corn crops he has made in years. What has become of our correspon dents? We hope to have a letter from every one of them next week. Ben R. Tillman will be a candidate for Governor next year, and will get left. He is too rash for such a posi tion. There is another subject for the asylum in the Wilsons neighborhood -a colored woman who is said to be dangerous. Two negro brothers had a fight in Chesterfield last Monday, during which one stabbed the other in the heart, killing him instantly. He then fled, and is still at large. A negro boy on Mr. Sim Ridgeway's place, near Manning, was accidentally shot in the calf of his leg last Mon day afternoon. One of Mr. Ridge way's children was handling the pistol when it fired. The wound is not a serious one. A music and art room will be fitted up at the Academy and furnished with a piano ant organ and all neces saries for complete instruction in that department. A class of kindergarten will be formed which will be a pleas ing feature of instruction among the little folk. Monday, August 26, has been fixed upon as the day for the execution of Mrs. Maybrick, who was convict ed last week of poisoning her hus band. Mr. Lincoln, United States minister, and many members of the American colony in London have signed a petition for the reprieve of Mrs. Maybrick. Sam Cantey, a negro from Santee, near Jordan, was adjudged a lunatic last Monday, and was taken to the asylum yesterday by Sheriff Lesesne and Deputy Louis Appelt. Cantey was confined in the jail Monday night, and Tuesday when he was taken out he was literally covered with soot, having apparently attempted to crawl up the chimney. His white eyes and grinning red lips in a background of sooty black was not a pleasant sight. Manning Sub-Alliance. The Manning Sub-Alliance met last Friday afternoon at old Fellowship church. The same officers were re elected for the next term. Jas. E. Davis. was elected business agent. The following constitute the executive I committee: A. J. Tindal for three years; D. J. Bradham for two years; and J. Elbert Davis for one year. Committee on the good of the order: Rev. T. J. Rooke, J. J. Gardner, T. J. Cole. "Pine straw as a fertilizer" will be discussed at the next meeting, the subject being introduced by A. J. Tindal and J. Elbert Davis. The, next meeting will be held Saturday morning, 10 o'clock, Aug. 24th, at old Fellowship church. SSummerton News. Sa mx Aug. 12.--Several lots have been so&ia'the village during the last week. Mr.\4vant is putting up a sto and sever ,others will go Crops are holding.p pretty well, but the indications'are that we will have more rain than will be good for them. IThe excursio'n last week, while not lagt ronized, was one of the most pleasant~ trips I have ever taken. Some of Clarendon's fairest maidens graced'the occasion, When we ar rived in Charleston at 11 A. x. we were captured by a party of friends. Af ter dinner-'we took the 3 o'clock boat for the island, and spent the time pleasantly at the New Brighton and_ other places of interest. The next day was spent in the city sightseeing until 7 pr. r. when we boarded the train for Summerton arriving there in due time, but regretting to have to separate with so .pleasant a party. We hope Mr. Wilson will give anoth er excursion in the near future. Dr. T. L. Burgess and the Rev. Peterson Burgess left here last week for Glenn Springs. Wilson will bring the malls to this place after the 12th. A military company will be organ ized in this place this week. Lieut. Cabaniss will drill the company while here. The 3rd quarterly conference for this circuit convened at St. James on last Saturday, Rev. J. S. Beasley pre siding. A young Mr. Lanham is visiting at Prof. Lanham's. He will likely miake the village his home. IMr. Frank and Miss Nannie Whil den, of Charleston, are visiting at Dr. Briggs's. Maj. Briggs has agreed to entertain transient visitors to the village on reasonabile terms until other arrange ments can be made. There will be a Sunday-school mass meeting and song service at the Pres byterian church next Friday evening at 5 r. M., led by Mr. Frank Whilden on the cornet. C. Foreston News. FOESToN, Aug. 13.-Maj. O. S. Land has just returned from a visit to the agricultural fair at Pendleton. It will take two weeks to tell all that he saw and heard in the way of fine crops and stock &c., so I only quote one short sentence from him, "Fores ton is still ahead. I left better corn here when I went away than I had seen anywhere, and found better on my return than I had seen." We are having heavy rains again, and farmers are beginning to com plain of cotton shedding. Corn how ever is as fine as one could wish. Peas are a failure; so also are most of our garden vegetables. We had the pleasure of seeing our worthy sheriff, Maj. H. H. Lesesne, being wheeled around this morning by Maj. Land and Mr. Hudgins, view ing our fine crops. You will hear something other than Texras when he returns to you. Misses Cora Hudgins and Sue ~Wells have just returned from the i"city by the sea," and Mr. W. P. Con yers from Sumter. Our people all being now in once more we shall soon begin to get ready ifor the Masonic festival which I men tioned some time since as being in prospect. Will let your readers hear something more definite on this mat ter at an arly anyF Another Prize Drawing. We are going to have another GRAND GIFT DISTRIBUTION in October. We shall offer not less than twenty-five valuable prizes, among which will be a sewing machine and a coocing stove. Our chief idea is to get our subscription list paid up in ad vance. A ticket will be given every subscriber whose subscription is paid to or beyond Sep. 1, 1890. There will be FOUR GOLD PRIZES : $10 in gold ; $5 in gold ; $2.50 in gold, and $1 in gold.

Levi's, Sumter, S. C. The case of the Florida Man who had his love letters read in court not long ago is at tracting considerable attention-at least the love letters are. In a postcript to one of his letters he offered to deliver 1,000,000,000,000 kisses to his best girl. The Boston Globe thinks the contract a very big one, end it says: "Whoever will take the trouble to figure it out will find that even if this am orous Southerner could give the lady 15,000 kisses a minute, (and we affirm that no per son could hope to do more than that,) and even if he could keep up this rate of oscu lation twenty-four hours a day, never paus ing to eat, or sleep or take breath, working 365 days every year, it would take him more than 100 years to complete the contract. And by that time, it is painful to reflect, the ardor of his love may have cooled. Even at the end of 100 years, counting 15,000 kisses a minute; there would remain an un delivered balance of 200,000,000,000, a num ber which in itself might appall the most industrious." Complete line of laces. cambric and lawn embroidery. Cambric and lawn flouncing and allovers. At F. Levi's, Sumter, S.C. EThe savage who has recently been discov ered in the depths of Africa proudly wear ing in the lobe of his right ear a bishop, that had strayed or been stolen from a set of chess men is doubtless determined to utilize all the resources of civilization that come within reach. A while ago an African chief was making a silver watch case do duty as a tobacco pouch, and another wore around his neck as his chief ornament the gilded knob of an explorer's tent pole. Even trousers can be utilized by the most scantily dressed natives, as was recently shown by a chief to whom a pair was presented with the request that he wear them. He appear ed in public soon after with the garment carefully arranged over his shoulders. Heart Failure. The Ameriean Analyst thinks that it would be an excellent idea if physicians of the present day would invent some other reason for about all the deaths which occur nowa daysf nh e~gg~ue ti difficult for any one conversant with the organs of the human body to understand how any human being can die without heart failure, while the causes of the failure of the heart at death may be very numerous. This might not be of serious mom'ent were it not for the fact that hundreds of people are being nearly frightened to death by the constant use of the cause for sudden deaths, and many people who are sick, and necessarily have some heart symptoms, are kept in con stant terror by reading or hearing in other ways of death after death by heart failure. It would b4 well for physicians who are too indolent or too ignorant to search out the disease lying back of the heart failure to consider how much harm they are doi-ng the community, and if they cannot correct the habit, newspapers and the public should avoid giving currency to this unfounded and dangerous phrase. There are probably no more deaths from heart failure in these times than heretofore, but a new cause for death has been coined, and the nervous and timid are being severely injured by it. Just received spring styles of ginghams Examine our pure silk gloves at 35c. At F. Levi's, Sumter, S. C. "Negroes or Colored People ?" Somebody, presumably a negro, or "col ored person," sends us an inquiry wanting to know "what is our name-negroes or col ored people ?" and hopes we will answer the question. As the inquiry seems in earnest we will say that Webster, the recognized au thority on definition in this part of the world, says thpt a negr'o is "a black man; one of a race of black or very dark persons who inhabit the greater part of Africa," having "crisp or curly hair, flat noses, high cheek-bones, and thick, protruding lips." Does the inquirer recognize the picture ? Webster also gives another definition, viz: ".Nigger, a negro." By common consent, however, the latter term, "nigger," is usual ly applied to bad negroes-those who hank er about hen roosts at uncertain hours of the night, and have great love for white 'folk's chickens. But railery aside, the colored people, or negroes, have no reason to be sensitive or feel indignant when they are called "ne groes." This is their proper designation. They belong to the negro race. The term negro is not disrespectful. A "colored man" may be a half-breed-half negro and half Indian, or Spaniard or Mexican.-Laurens rille Heriaid..

Purdy, Esq., has returned from Vir ginia, where he went to take his family for the summer. Mr. W. E. Burgess, of Manning, and Mr. Chas. MIcFaddin, of Mayesville, are now liv ing in Sumter, and can be found at the store of Mr. A. A. Solomons. On his way home from his appointments last Sunday evening, Rev. W. B. Duncan was stunned by lightning. It caused quite a nervous attack. Mr. Geo. Murray, who for several years has been with the dry goods establishment of R. H. Edmunds, Jr., of Columbia, has been secured by Mr. F. Levi, and is now living in Sumter. In this issue the Eutawville Railroad Company publishes a notice of an intended change of its present corporate name to the name of The Charleston, Sumter and Che raw Railroad, and an enlargement of its charter rights. Mr. L. W. Folsom, the jeweler, has sus pended across the strait in front of his es tablishment a huge and handsome watch so constructed as to run by the action of the winds. It is an object that attracts much attention and wonder. It is rather fickle and unreliable as a time-keeper, but is con stantly on the "go." The negro, Johnson Gass, who was struck in the head by Anderson Williams, about ten days ago, at Dr. Rembert's place, near Boykin's, died there on Friday last. The result of an inquest held by Trial Justice Thos. Sumter, was a verdict charging Wil liams with murder of deceased. Williams is now in jail for trial at the next General. Sessions. Mr. Harvey Meldau, who for the last five years, has been associated with Mr. M. Le vi, in afanning, in the cabinet and under taking business, has transferred himself and his business to Sumter, and has incor porated his shops with the extensive estab lishment of R. W. Bradham. Mr. Meldau is an experienced, skilled and neat work man and will prove himself worthy the share of patronage he will receive. Sheriff Carson has brought back from Columbia the Bishopville prisoners. They were carried over to Columbia to protect them from lynching that had been threaten ed by some of the inconsiderate hot-heads of the Bishopville community. Believing that all cause to apprehend any danger of that kind has been removed, the Sheriff has claimed his own again and placed his pris oners in the proper place of confinement, the jail of Sumter. On Monday last Postmaster Reardon en tered upon the active discharge of the du ties of his office. Mr. Reardon goes into office with the good will of our people. D. J. Auld, in his retirement from this office which he has so capably and acceptably filled for the last four years, carries with him the friendly wishes of the people he has served so faithfully and the conscious ness that his term of service has added new claims to the confidence and respect with which he has always been regarded in Sumter. The Sumter Electric Light Company has closed a contract with the city to furnish twenty-five are lights of two thousand can dle power each at a cost to the city of $3,000 per annum. An earnest effort will be madt to push the matter through as speedily as possible, as to have the lights burning by the middle- r last of September next. Many of our'rzierchants have already signi fied their intention to use tbe incain descent lights, and are anxioudly waiting to have them put into their stores.

CHm SsoN, Aug. 8.-Mr. Editor: I noticed in last week's TIan that there was to be an excursion from Sum merton to Charleston on August the 8th, to return on the 9th, giving two days in the city, fare $3 for round trip, and everybody invited to go. As such excursions are common at this season of the year, it was not given a thought until the World came out this morning with the following: "A New County Opened. The Wil son & Summerton Road Opened with an Excursion. There will be an ex cursion to-day from along the line of the Wilson & Summerton Railroad to this city. This excursion will be the inaugural trip over this road which is just now completed. The Coast Line, of which the Wilson & Summerton Road is a branch, has made prepara tions for the accommodation of alarge crowd. This road is a branch of the Central of South Carolina, twenty-five miles in length. It runs westward from Wilsons on the Central Road out to Summerton through some of the richest country in the State. This is a new section for Charleston mer chants and Charleston capital to de velop for the interest of both the country and the city itself. As this is the season for country merchants to lay in their fall goods no doubt there will be some trading to-day." As soon as the carriers delivered the World to its patrons the excite ment and commotion commenced. Everything was on the go. Some of the merchants who had let off some of their worn out clerks commenced looking 'round to find some unem ployed young men to fill their places for two days, and all the force availa ble was ordered to brush up and have everything in readiness for the arrival of the ab* ve named excursion. The hotel men made for the market as tho they feared there would not be pro visions enough there to feed the mul titude. The Charleston, Pavilion, and Waverly Hotels ordered out all their busses. The National House having none, engaged all the hacks with the promise of a good commis sion. Some time before the arrival of the train the crowd commenced gathering, and awaited with breath less silence. At last the sound of the whistle from the mammoth engine was heard. Such a shout as went up is seldom heard. Finally she rolled in with four coaches and about twen ty-five passengers. You ought, Mr. Editor, to have been here to see the crowd which had gathered slip off, and the busses and hacks leaving, and if you want to get up a fight right quick just ask a man if he saw the Summerton excursion. It being my profession to hold on till all was clear, I did so. My object was to interview the conductor. He didn't like to talk, but you know how we fellows are: we won't be put off; we hold on till we get something. At last I obtained a few of the reasons why the cars were not filled up. In the first place, he said there aint many people in that country to come; and in the second place, he said, (he spoke very low as tho he was afraid some body would hear him,) you see that was the first train that had ever ap peared in that section, and those who had the bigger hearts said that the larger part of the inhabitants was as they expected it to make its daily visits that they hoped they would be come accustomed to it, and when the time come for another excursion they would all go. I inquired how many passengers he had. He said he had six from Summerton, and three from Jordan, the President and family, with a few invited guests. It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. The butchers, poultry men, and old women who sell vegeta bles made a good thing out of the Summerton excursion. 3. C. ("J. C." is in great error about the Summerton people. They are among the very best people in the world. The real cause of the failure of the ex cursion was a too long stay in Charles ton and a too high fare. If the excur sion had been run to return the same *day at $1.50 for the round trip, it would have paid handsomely. Few people now have $3 to pay for a tick et, and then two days' hotel bill, etc. -EDITOR TIMrs.] PROGRESS.
