A Passenger Train for Columbia Almost Wrecked. CoLUMBIA, Sept. 30.-A very remark able accident occurred this morning on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad about thirty miles from Columbia. The train from Flor ence due in Columbia about 6.30 A. x., when on the trestle about a mile west of the Camden crossing, which leads to the Wateree bridge, ran into a tree which had been blown across the track. The engine left the track, but not the trestle, and dragged the train over the crossties for a distance of over a hundred feet. . It seemed inevitable that the cars would tumble off the trestle into the swamp below, but by an extraordinary and inexplicable maneuvre the train, although it was derailed, turned to one side and ran out on a side trestle which had been constructed near the bridge and afterwards filled in with earth. When the cars tilted over they rested on the embankment in stead of dropping into the swamp. The engine and two or more cars were partly upset but not smashed, and none on the train was injured. The accident occurred between 5 and 5.30 a. x. A special train from Columbia went to the spot with promptness, and the passengers were transferred and brought to the city after a very short delay. The track has already been repaired. A Care for the Blind Staggers. [Marion Star.] In the year of 1837 there were more eases of this fell disease in horses and mules than in any year since. In the fall of that year 60 head of horses in Robeson county, N. C., were reported affected by this disease. At that time, the writer, a lad of 17 years, obtained the following prescription for the dis sase. As soon as the attack is discov red bleed from two to four quarts; ive sixty to one hundred grains of :alomel and fifty grains of qunine at me to two hours intervals untilon iundred and fifty or two hundred grains have been taken. Bathe the read with cool water, ice water if ossible and occasionally wetting the opjof the head from the eyes up with pirits turpentine. Keep tle animal ts cool as possible, and in two or tree days the case will be cured. The writer has just treated a case for himself in this manner and the nimal is well to show for herself and he was cured in two days. Drs. D. F. Miles and J. R Jarnegan assisted ne in the treatment. If you think ,his statement worth room in your raluable paper you will please publish t for the benefit of all who may have inimals attacked with this disease in he future. B. W. JAEMAN. low the Farmers Sell Cotton at magnolia. MAGNoI, SUmTEE Cou.rY, Sept. 16.-Our town has been the scene of a busy, bustling day, from early this morning until late this afternoon. To lay was the time appointed by the Aliances of Lynchburg, Shiloh, Nor. woods and Beulah for their members o sell their cotton in bulk. The early rising sun witnessed a continual in ~oming of farmers, until eur little ~own was packed. The market open but the g train 'monsa of Mr. John prominent merchant of and one who does a large 't the Alliances of eastern unty. Mr. McSween's buy nad scarcely -landed before he poppe0.20 r bin ot to be frozen out, and sang the beautiful song of 10.25 to 10.33, much bo the delight of ye sturdy farmers. Determined, too, not to be outdone, ir. C. B. Timmons, a local merchant md buyer, "stepped upon the scene" mud made things lively, not only for bhe buyers, but the farmers as well. The greater portion of the cotton was packed in jute bagging, owing to the lability of the Alliance men to get he cotton bagging. T he farmers are jubilant, and claim ,hat they have won a victory of un neasured importance. The Tim nonville buyer, though he did not ucceed in buying a single bale, is iven credit in part for having excited he local buyers into higher prices. kr. C. E.

PRIVATEEE, SUrTER CommT, Sep. 28. -Last March mention was made in his correspondence of a white man uamed Parvis Rogers who, before the war, was sold in Sumter for vagrancy. [learned recently that he died several lays ago in Clarendon county. Purvis was quite a character. At the time of 2s death he was at least 75 or 80 rears old. It is an historical fact that huere were white slaves in colonial outh Carolina, but Purvis Rogers is he only authentic instance I know of where a white man has been sold in outh Carolina since the Revolution. The New York Fashion Bazar for October a no w before us with the first full descrip ;ions and plates of the now fall modes. The azar colored plates of ladies' and chil ren's fashions are exceedingly beautifull md stylish. The large number of engrav ngs make the Bazar one of the most com plete fashion periodicals for dress-makers published in this country. For all ladies who superirise and prepare their own ward mbes it is full of valuable information, and n the department of children's garments it s unrivaled. The literary contents of the Lctober number are unusually varied and mttractive. In addition to the serials by E.dna Lyall, Heimburg. and others, there ire very interesting sketches by Mildred' Wentworth Lee, Mary E. Bryan. Shirley Browne, andi guseful article on "The Metro olitan Fashions for Autumn," by Mrs. N. .Stowel. There are the usual departments evoted to embroideries, etiquette, and an ners to correspondents.

WEIMESBAY, October 2,1889. It is said that $50,000,000 of Amer ican property is owned by English. men. Some Northern editor has discov ered the fact that no man now living will ever date another letter without uing the fgure 9. It is here to stay for 110 years. The danger of running passenger trains too close together was illus trated at Palatine Bridge, New York, on Friday night last. Five persons hied and a large number injured. Gen. E. M. Law, of Yorkville, has been chosen to deliver the annual ad dregs before the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, at its next meetingtt Richmond, Va., which will take place about the 1st of De cember. The four new States, the two Da kotas, Montana and Washington, will to-day vote on the acceptance of the coatitntions made for them by the convention held in the past summer, and will choose State officers and Con gressmen. The Dakotas and Washing ton will pass on prohibition as a sepa rate article of the constitution, and Washington will also give its verdict ' woman suffrage. At the el of 1888 the four States threw over ,OO0 votes for territorial delegates. ' One of our exchanges says it has good reason after investigating refer tns, to believe that a certain N. Y. advertisement is bogus. If reference is made to a three square advertise annt in this paper we will state that neot the largest N. Y. papers,in an swer to an inquiry from us before we inserted the advertisement, stated that the concern had always paid them. We have been "bugged" sev eral times, and now always look up l the standing of unknown advertis em. We-may get left this time, but we believe the concern to be al right. If our country papers were *more 1 careful about what advertisements they take, and what price they get,. they would make more money. No i t should be taken that will not pay a living price. The Washington correspondent of the New York 2unes says: "During thefour years of President Cleveland's administration, when the railway mail service was under civil service rules, there were 725 removals, 768 resigna tions, 340 dismissals for inefficiency and 166 for drunkenness, a total of 1.999 changes. Under the Harrison aministration, from March 20 until May 1, there were 1,524 dismissals and 210 resignations in the postal railway mail service. From May 1 to yuly 1 there were 23 dismissals and 147 res igations, besides 530 clerks dropped fromihe service 'after a trial,' making a grand total of 2,434 in a little more than three mbths.

He was ason of whom both the Carolinas may be proud, the one his own, the other his foster mother. He remaina a~outhron of Southrons to the last, and if he failed to bend to the storm, and to ride upon the cur rent to the harbor of success, blame him not. Of such stuff he was not 'mad__ Dewaaui et a Nuaister. Considerable scandal has been cre-, -s ted in Augusta, Ga., by the proceed ings of the Rev. J. S. Meynardie, for merly pastor of the &rean Baptist church of that city, and a communing munnher of the Second Baptist, dumb. - Mr. Meiynardie's conduct for a long time has been unbeomn that of a minister of the gospel, and on Satur day he capped the elimax by getting on a royal tear, and flourishing a six -shooter in defiance of law or authori ty.*The matter was taken up by a council of the different Baptist churches in the city and the charges of drumnnn, profanity and immor ality preferred against him. Numerous members testified to his intoxicated condition and profane language, while a prominent member of the congregation gave testimony most damaging to his moral chazac ter. The council, after hearing the evi dence, adopted a resolution demand ing his ordination papers from him; and refusing him the fellowship of the church till he should demonstrate that he had reformed. Meynsrdie will be well remember ed as the leader of the labor move ment during the strikes several years ago; and as the Augusta delegate who became uproariously drunk in Knights of Labor Hall in Richmond, where he went as delegate. He is a son of Rev.E.J.Meynardie of the South Carolina. Conference. Wanted, a small tract of land, say ten or twenty-five acres, within a mile or two of the court house.

[News and Courier.] The old ship chandlery and grocery store of Libby & Low, at Richmond Virginia, which rendered good service as a Federal prison during the late war, was purchased some months agc by a Chicago syndicate of speculatorE in war relics. It was removed to that city, and after its thorough restoration was thrown open to the public on Sat urday last as a great war museum, The Chicago Inter-Ocean published on Sunday a highly illustrated account of the old "prison hell," and embraced the opportunity of repeating many of the oft-exploded falsehoods which have been told about the cruelty with which the Confederate authorities treated prisoners of war. The Inter Ocean says: "No landmarks of the civil war have associated with them more that repels than the Southern prisons. They have gone into history as prison hells, where the barbarous cruelties of the Inqui sition and the dungeons of the Tower and the Bastile failed to furnish ade quate contrasting features to convey an idea of what men suffered-An dersonville, Saulsbury, Libby, Castle Thunder and other names arouse more indignation than any other in Amer ican history, and they have no de fenders. They excite hate in the North, and shame in the South. As landmarks merely, they had better be forgotten. Such was the feeling when it was proposed to bring the old Lib by prison to Chicago. But that feel ing has given way to one of interest in the old building, as it is understood that this is here only to form the home for one of the most complete and in teresting museums of the war in the country-a museum that knows no North and no South, but is of histor ical interest to all, because of the im partiality shown in the collection of relics of the civil war." The Inter-Ocean admits that "Libby was the best managed of the Southern prisons, but," as it says "became as ceebrated as Andersonville, because of the many officarof rank impris oned there." "There were eruelties practiced there," the Inter-Ocean con tinues, "but the prison was under the very nose of the President of the Confederacy and his Cabinet, and the prisoners were men of intelligence and force to demand some rights as pris oners of war, and, often held as hos tages for Confederate officers in the North, they could not be so easily im posed upon." We are told that "they had no fur niture, not even blankets," and that they had to sleep on "the floor in double rows, head to head and feet to feet, covering whole floors with a hu man and loyal carpet," and that "in cold weather they were commanded to sleep spoon-fashion." This was very cruel, to be sure, but this is not all, for we are further told that the pris oners had to do their own cooking, "fought for preference" at the two small stoves in the kitchen and "stole rom each other the places at the fire" -which was very reprehensible con dct in "men of intelligence and force"-and that when they did not ave food to cook "they divided with each other and starved together." We are not informed exactly what it was iheydvddS~iitf-it is some satis faction to know that they were not nwilling to starve together. It is al so gratifying to know that "the men id not despair," that "all was not sadness and sorrow in Libby," and that "there were debates and dias son, literary exercises and se ols, anguage lessoas and even minstrel performances." We are also told that, when the news was received of Grant's apture' of Vicksburg, the cruelly reted prisoners of war actually "sang all night until the impregnable capital f the Confederacy had in in its midst ne of the grandest, loyal choruses hat ever sang patriotic hymns." It is evident from the confessions of the Inter-Ocean that the prisoners at ibby had a very pleasant time, and if our contemporary tells the truth about Libby "the barbarous cruelties f the Inquisition and the dungeons f the Tower and Bastile" were after all not worth mentioning. So far as we axe informed, there were no "de bates and discussions" at the -Inqui sition, and there is no record of "singing school" and "minstrel per formances" in "the dungeons of the ower and the Bastile." it is also plain from the inventory of the relics ontained in the "Libby Prison" at hicago that it is not to be in any respect "a museum that knows no orth and no South" and that it will not be "of historical interest to all, because of the impartially shown in the collection of relics of the civil war." Else, why is it that the North srn prison pen at Point Lookout, or the dungeons of Fort Delaware, or the stockade at Elmir a is not reproduced in the great war museum at Chicago ? Why have not the directors of the exhibition constructed within the mu seum a cyclorama of the burning of Atlanta, or of Columbia, or of the smoking ruins of happy homes which narked the trail of Tecumseh Sher an through the Carolinas ? It is evident from the "relics" con tained in the museum, and from the misrepresentations contained in the Inter-Ocean as to the cruelties prac ticed upon the Federal soldiers in Southern prisons, that the "great war useum" at Chicago is a wholly one sided affair established for the purpose f making money at the expense of the South. We fail to see why the names of "Andersonville, Saulsbury, ibby, Castle Thunder," etc., should xcite "shame in the South." There was much in the history of these in stitutions to cause regret but nothing to excite shame-regret that the South was so poor in resources that its pris oners were compelled to endure great hardships; regret that the Confederate overnment could not supply its ar ies and prisoners with medicines, because the Federal Government (con trary to all the rules of civilized war fare) made medicines contraband of war and kept medical supplies out of the Confederate States; regret and horror that the Federal Government eared so little for its sick and wound ed soldiers who were languishing in Southern prisons that it waited for tour months before it would accept the offer of the Confederate authorities to Burrender sick and wounded Federal prisoners without requiring Confeder ate prisoners in exchange. In July, 1866, Secretary Stanton made a report showing that, of the Federal prisoners in Confederate hand, 2257 died;a while of the Con federate prisoners in Federal hands, 26,436 died. According to an official report of Surgeon General Barnes of the United States army, the Federal prisoners in Confederate hands num bered 270,000, and the Confederate prisoners in Federal hands num bered 220,000. Less than 9 per cent of the Federal prisoners in Confeder ate hands died "as the result of the treatment they received," while more than 12 per cent of Confederate pris oners in Federal hands died from the treatment which they eceived. The Fe'deral prisoners in the South re ceived the same rations of food as the Confederate soldier in the field. The Federal prisoner and the Confederate soldier fared alike in the matter of clothing. The Confederate soldier and the Federal prisoner died because the Federal Government would not allow medical supplies to be brought into the Confederacy. The Federal prisoners at Andersonville passed res olutions on September 28, 1864, and addressed to their own Government, in which they fixed the responsibility where it belonged. "While allowing the Confederate authorities all due praise," the resolutions declare, "for the attention paid to our prisoners, numbers of our men are daily con signed to early graves, in the prime of their manhood, far from home and kindred, and this is not caused by the Confederate Governrnent, but by force of circumstances." The "circum stances" referred to have already been described. The next resolution adopt ed by the Federal prisoners at Ander sonville is as follows: "Resolved, That, whereas in the for tunes of war it was our lot to become prisoners, we have suffered patiently, and are still willing to suffer, if by so doing we can benefit the country; but we would most respectfully beg to say that we are not willing to sufer to futrker the euds of any party or clique to the detriment of our honor, our I families, and our country. And we would beg this affair to be explained to us, that we may continue to hold the Government in the respect which it is necessary to make a good citizen and soldier." These 'facts have been publis over and over again. The sufferings of the Federal prisoners in the South were the result of their heartless de sertion by the Federal authorities, and not of their treatment by the Confed erate Government. The reflections of the Inter-Ocean upon the South are unmanly and untrue. The war is over, and there is nothing in its record from first to last, in all the great strug gle, of which the South shotid be ashamed. Metropolitan Fashions for Autumn. Among the first items of interest to 1 the fashionables who are returning to town are the novelties in dress goods, especially those that are to be worn t for the street and general informal oc- i casions, for this is the portion of a lady's wardrobe in which all women are interested. It must be confessed that there is something wonderfully attractive in a new and elegant stock of seasonable dress goods, and no one who is priv ileged to go through such an assort ment can wonder at the enthusiasm that is exhausted in exclamations and adjectives; nor is it at all remarkable if womankind, carried away by such delightful and beautiful things, makes haste to secure such dresses as suit her fancy, too often indeed without regard- for their becomingness, and not unlikely without a thought as to whethero~ri'ot they are suited to her style, complexion, or circumstances. It is, however, a matter of fact that the majority of women give by far too little attention to such matters, but content themselves with buying only for the looks of the material. When goods are all, or nearly all, of a high order of artistic excellence, one cannot go so far wrong, but in seasons when there are eccentricities and innovations, the practice is not at all to be recommended. Fine, soft, close-woven serge, diag onal, and camel's-hair are among the leading fabrics. There are plain and figured goods for combination cos tumes, and mixed and plain for more~ sober suits. Woolen3 of all grades have brocaded or figured borders or panels, or strips of figured design for garniture for sleeves and waist. There are brocadings in silk or wool gounds showing very Jarge roses, * 'ies, thistles, fruit, bouquets, sprays, and festooned garlands of jg flowers, ferns, grasses, and foliage, S with trailing vines and thick, rough stalks with a few buds and blossoms. These stalk or branch designs are seen in all classes of goods, from del icate India silk to the heaviest mate lasse fabrics, which are used for win ter cloaking. . a Another feature of autumn wool t, goods is the popularity of armure weaves of various sorts. There are e alternate stripes of armure and plain c weave, each stripe of some styles hav-a ing an independent design brocaded over it; others showing spreading patterns which cover the width from selvage to selvage. Some of the i flowers are four or five inches across, being of course greatly conventional-j ized, in many cases so much so that 10 the original character of the pattern'3 is altogether lost, and the so-called flowers are like nothing known to the most attentive student of nature. Superb fabrieg of fine wool, wit net brocading of cut and uncut velvet, are among the novelties in the autumn importations.--New York~ Fashion Ba zar for October. Litraly mansbad air.

The undersigned would indeed be ungrateful were they not to return many thanks for the liberal support of many of Claren don's best people. We are annually enlarging our business in all branches, and are offering Unusual Inducements 'to purchasers. We are accused of catering for the farmers' ti-ade, and we feel a just pride in pleading "Guilty" to the Indictment. Need we ask what would become of the country were it not dependent on the success of the farmers? In order therefore, to insure their success is it not the part of wisdom for the merchant to ' LEND A HELPING HAND? We, at least entertain this opinion, and henceforth will di vide profits with them-and in fact all patrons of our House. We are in no hurry to accumulate wealth, especially at the expense of the TOILING MASSES. With this view of business as it exists to-day, we ask our frie-nds of Clarendon county to visit us, make A Special Call, and we feel assured of convincing them of the truth of these statements. We desire especially to mention the fact that we handle Staple Groceries by the Car Load, which enables us to give our Patrons Rock Bottom Prices. Before placing your orders be sure to see us.
