THE XANG TIS. Mamiiig, S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, December 25,1889. Ex-Collector T. B. Johnson has been reappointed collector for the port of Charleston. This is a fat position.. The Legislature adjourned last Monday night. It would be a bless ing to this State if this body met only once every four or five years. More than one life- will date its downfall and ruin from a glass of wine this Christmas, received from the fair hands of a sweetheart or lady friend. - Young ladies, a fearful re sponsibility rests on you. Henry W. Grady, editor of the Al lanta Constitution, died last Monday. Mr. Grady was one of the most prom inent and influential men in the South. He was especially active in his efforts for prohibition. He was only thirty eight years old. SThe pension department at Wash twenty-seven widows of Revolutionary soldiers who have been regularly paid 'pensions up to the present time. Three of them are 97 years of age and two 96. The youngest is 71. Many of the school houses of Da kota are being provided with barrels of water, potatoes, beans, coffee, and cooking utensils, and in case thirty or forty scholars are penned up by a bliz zard Two or three days this winter, there will be no danger of starvation. With the death of Jefferson Davis but one member of the old Confeder ate Cabinet is left. Walker, Stephens, Memminger, Mallory, Benjamin and Toombs have all crossed the river, and the only member alive is ex-post maste general, John H. Reagan, of Texas. Attend your alliance meetings reg ularly. Great benefit will result if I proper attention is given. The new secret work will be given out, officers are to be elected, and it is wise any; way for every member to attend every meeting if possible. The diamond and pearl necklace worn on State occasions by Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt has excited the greatest wonder and admiration. The striking feature of this necklace is that the diamonds are pierced through the center and are strung al ternatly with the pearls. It is said that it required many weeks of patient -labor to pierce each stone. Itmsa curious and striking coinci-j dence that the same hour memorial' services were held in the United States Seate for George Washington and Cthroughout the South for Jefferson Davis. These were both Southern men, both the legitimate products of Southern civilization, and both repre-~ section has been so long distinguish Gov. Richardson, in response to a arquest from the New York World for -Jns estimate of Mr. Davis's character, returned the following dispatch: "My. -' esimate of Mr. Davis is that of all true Southern men, as evidlenced in the :proound grief that ~to-day pervades Serery household in this mourning Southland from the Potomac to the :B'io Grande. He was a patriot, hero,! aud martyr, and when the passions and ~-peudices of civil commotion shall hae passed away and been forgotten, history will class him among the great est, the purest, and the most illustri ous of. this century." Race Trouble in Salem. We learn that a serious disturbance Sbetween the whites and negroes oc-. Parred in Salem last Monday. A fight saeemed imminent, and it was feared hat unless the matter could be qui ted before ten o'clock Tuesdayv that a fight would occur, in which case it is probable that many lives would be lost* -It seems that two weeks ago a dog of Mr. T. J. Gibbons strayed on Har -dy H~rring's (colored) place, and atHerring shot the dog, killing it. efollowing Monday night (Dec. 16) erl of masked men visited Hlar ~dy, and-.gave him a severe whipping. Herring thereupon swore out a war hat against JMessrs. Mack Beard, Bil-! bbnWiley Barrow, and J. W. '~laging them with the of fense. The case was to have been heard last Monday before Trial Jus-, -tice Fleming, but when the day arriv-, ed, the negroes had worked themselves up to a red hot heat, and having made' numerous threats, the white people likewise gathered, about a hundred strong, and both sides armed for a! fight. Hot blood existed, and very little would have precipitated the row. The white men arrested are said to be the wrong party, and they could have easily proven their innocence, bat1 owing to the high state of excitement it was thor'ght best for them to waive apreliminary examination, and to give bond for trial at the higher court. This was unexpected to the negroes, who regarded the waiving of the pre liminary and the bond, as tantamount to an acquittal. This was about 2 o'clock Monday. -Pinckney Witberspoon, with great gusto and effort at oratory, then step ped out and said: "I am here ready' to die. I want all of my race to meet me to-morrow afternoon at the Man ning Road Church, to have revenge, for beating one of our race into a! mummf." This speech was' seconded by Charles Kennedy and Ransom: Gamble and a hundred others. Mr. W. H. H. Hobbs at this junc ture left for Manning, to get a warrant of arrest for the ring leaders. A war- : rant was issued Monday night, and, placed in the hands of Mr. J. H. Les esne, who, accompanied by Deputy Sriff~!.Is.Auld, at once started for Salem. 'The next morning (Tuesday) they found Ransom Gamble, and after considerable: trouble succeeded in bringing him to Manning, where he was put in jail. We presume from what the deputies say that there is not like ly to e much more trouble. STRANGE SCENES IN SUMTER i Little Colored Girl by Some Unexplain. ed Power Smashes up Crockery, Break, up Furniture, and does a Number of Unexplained Acts. Sr:MnTEr, Dec. 19. - Our people are stil :onsiderabiy puzzled by the strange mani Eestations of some hidden force which seem: to follow the little colored girl. Daisy 1Rob insaf. She is quite an ordinary lookini girl of about 12 years of age, and has a rath er subdued or languid look out of her eyes She seldom smiles and seems to gaze list Issly around at tie crowd of white and col ored people of both sexes and all ages wh< ire continually going to see her, some 0 them two or three times a day. Daisy': mother is dead and her father resides it Camden, but she lives with her aunt, wh< is employed as a servant by Mr. F. A Treadwell, an excellent gentleman, wh with his estimable wife have both seen ant beard things which, bring vouched for b1 them, cannot be disputed. Your correspondent is quite skeptical it such matters, having several years since with'the assistance of a friend, exposed ant broken up certain pretended spiritual man ifestations of a very similar nature; so it company with one or two friends he accept ed the kind invitation extended and pro ceeded to investigate and if possible see witl his own eyes some of the strange sights go ing on, feeling quite confident of an eas: solution of the matter. This little part] were happily more successful than man; others had been, for only a very small pro portion of the large number continually docking to the place have had the good for tune to see or hear anything unusual. Hai the unknown power been at all accommo ating and manifested itself to only one half the people who have been to Mr. Tread well's, it would have been a sad affliction t4 Sr-eo eynot only would a'll th household effects of Daisy and her auntant several other colored persons who reside or the premises, have been utterly demolished aut also all the worldly effects of Mr. ani Srs. Treadwell. Their houses, fences ant everything else would have gone in the same sway. Therefore they are to be be congratu lated that the strange manifestations occur is it were, only semi-occasionally. When the little party referred to above reached the premises of Mr. Treadwell the were cordially invited by that gentleman t< repair at once to the room which Daisy oc cupies. Everybody was excluded from the room except Mr. Treadwell, Mr. C. E Stubbs, Mr. J. F. Pate and a friend of hit :whose name we did not learn,) Daisy Rob nson, a colored man, William Tate, whc held the lantern, and your correspondent The door of the room was closed and fas. :ened on the inside to prevent anyone comr .ng in and disturbing the party, who all tood in a semi-circle facing Daisy, who was ;itting near the door. In the room was a bed, a bureau, a cupboard, and a small .hair. The crockeryware (or rather all that was left of it, for it had nearly all been broken up) of Daisy's aunt, who occupied :he room with her, was packed away in a bucket under the bed. For a few minutes the party was silent awaiting developments,. but gradually a gen. tral conversation was indulged in upon the ubject which had brought us to the place, bach member of the party keeping an eye mn Daisy all the time. Suddenly a large, eavy tea cup was thrown upon the floor at >ur feet. It spun round a few times, struck dr. Pate on the foot, and rolled into the ireplace. The cup was not seen until out attention was attracted by its striking the loor. Mr. Pate is certain, from the direc. ion from which it struck his foot, that it tame from under the bed. All the party sere positive'that Daisy did not throw it, is she was not seen to move a muscle, neith. tr could the- colored man have thrown it without detection, as he was standing in the semi-circle with the party. Your corres ondent to satisfy himself and the rest of he party took the lantern, and carefully zearched under the bed to see if anyone was roncealed there, but no one was there. The rhole room was afterwards examined, and ras found to be closely sealed above and all ound. The 4oor is tight, and a careful ex. minaton from the outside failed to reveal s rack that even a ten cent piece could hav yeen thrown through. The party was completely nonplussed, md after waiting a few minutes without any ~urther developments dispersed. Two a1 ment inotha xesecd.Ir. Ircad rell, where a few moments were spent very ~leasantly discussing the strange occur. -ences. Many good and estimable people shose names might be given and whos< vord cannot for an instant be doubted havu ,old your correspondent- of some very strange things which they have seen and ieard, such as mysterious rappings, the >verturning of a heavy bureau standing or tsecure fonndation, when no one was neal ~nough to touch it, Cups, plates, saucers rases, shovel, tongs, candlesticks, kerosenu amps, fire dogs, (e, have by them beer een to leap into the center of the room witl. onsiderablec force, sometimes being broker nto atoms and atiother' times not being in tired at all. There is undo'ubtedly some anseen force being excited in a very myste. eious manner, and it seems to have beer atterly impossible that these things can be :usett by any human agency without de ection long before this time. Yesterday morning Daisy was taken from Mfr. Treadwell's by her sister and carried tc er house at Mr. C. E. Stubbs. Since thea singular and seemingly supermitural oc urrences have not been manifested at Mr. lreadwell's, but have been going on at ;reat rate at Mrs. Stubbs's. Lettie Robin ion, Daisy's sister. says she cannot afford mch costly entertainments for the public, md does not know what to do in the matter, '.s she cannot turn her sister out of doors, nd says that this morning while Daisy was ~ating her breakfast, the bedstead in hez oom was actually wrenched to pieces by an mnseen power. These things are indeed rery strange, and as yet not even the faint. st hint at a solution of the matter has been iven by any one.-Xews and ourier. For a safe and certain remedy for fever and gue, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe er cure; it is warranted to cure. Even the most vigorous and hearty people 2ve at times a feeling of weariness and las itude. To dispel this feeling take Dr. J. H. Ice~ean's Sarsaparilla; it will impart vigol nd vitality.

Nztw Yon:a, Due. 2+). R. G. Unn .& Co.' review of the trade of the week says: Mild weather .causes increasing trouble. Perhaps the coal trade suffers most. The dry goods and boot and ';hae trades are much afiected, especially in articles for win ter wear, and in some quarters even holiday trade is restricted by the unseasonable weather. The bad state of the country roads cuts off much trading and renders many retail dealers unable to meet their ob ligations. and small failures have become alarmingly frequent. At Philadelphia un fortunate embarrassments in the clothing trade are feared, unless winter weather comes. Another unfavorable feature appears in some Southern States. Trade is seriously affected for a time by the operation of the Farmers' Alliance, which enlist farmers in co-operative trading and absorbs money which might otherwise go to settle indebt edness with merchants. The results in some localities almost paralyzes trade. But the general tenor of reports as to the condition of business, excepting as tempo rarily affected by the weather, is by no means unfavorable. The volume of trade continues larger than a year ago. Clearings, outside of New York, are still about 10 per cent. larger than last year, and railroad earnings show a handsome increase, not withstanding the inability of many roads to furnish cars for all the freight ofiered. SCROFULA FROM CHILDHOOD. After Beini Treated by Eminent Physi cians he is Cured by S. S. S. The following is an extract taken from a letter received from Mr. T. A. Sizemore, of Piedmont, S. C., and written under date of November 6, 1SSS: "I am now twenty-eight years old and from the time I was seven years of age un till 18S5, I suffered with a severe case of scrofula. During that time I took every known remedy, but to no purpose. Iy father took me to North Carolina, where I was put under the treatment of an eminent physician. The medicines given me had r only a temporary effect, for shortly after my return the scrofula broke out in a more ma- 1 lignant form and I was worse off than ever e before. y "In 1885 I discontinued taking all other p medicines and commenced taking Swift's t Specific (S. S. S.) I took a number of bot tles and it cured me. I have been free from scrofula from that time until now." 1 Attacked by Rheumatism. I have been selling Swift's Specific (S. S. 1 S.) since 1878, during which time I might name a great number of very remarkable cures that it has effected. One in particular, was a person who was attacked with rheu- 1 matism. The case was so bad that he wis helpless for a long time. He took hundreds of dollars worth of other medicines without receiving any benefit. He was at length 1 happily and permanently cured after using a few bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) W. T.
