Mr. Moses Levi was thrown intc consternation last Monday by having his butler, Raymond Wilson, arrested for being an escaped convict from the penitentiary. It appears that Wilson was convicted in 1873, at the Darling ton court, of grand larceny, and sen tenced to three years in the peniten tiary. It was in the good old days of Radical stealing, and Wilson was sent out with others to do work at Gov. Moses's house. He says that it was a common thing for a prisoner to quiet ly walk away and not return, so one day he thought he would do likewise. He came down to Clarendon, where he has since lived. He was employed more than twelve years ago by Mr. Levi, and Mr. Levi says he is the best negro be ever had. When he was ar rested, Mr. Levi at once got up a pe tition stating that Wilson was a straightforward honest man, with a spotless reputation, that he had for a number of years voted the Democrat ic ticket, etc. This was signed by the solicitor, the county officers, and about every prominent person in the place. Another petition was signed by the colored people. Armed with this pe tition and accompanied by the sher iff, Mr. Levi went to Columbia yes terday, and obtained from the Gov ernor an immediate pardon. Wilson had in the meantime been put back into the penitentiary, had had his head shaved, and his convict clothes on, and had been put to work, he hav ing been carried to Columbia on the same train Mr. Levi went on. But in two hours' time he was pardoned. Wilson is a good, quiet, sober negro, and a term in the penitentiary would have done him no good. Our color ed people can thus see what it is to live a good life towards the white people. They will receive help when in trouble. MERCHANTS AND LAWYERS. Cheaper than Charleston.

There is a young man living in Manning, a good-looking fellow, who has a sweetheart out in the country a few miles, and he spends two even ings in every week in her society. A few nights ago he stayed to the usu al hour, and as he passed out the front door he discovered that it was cloudy and dark. He did not relish the idea of going home alone through the gloomy night, and hinted a good deal to get an invitation to remain, but it was not forthcoming. But the young man was equal to the emergency. Go ing down the steps he artfully contri ved to slip and fall gently to the ground. Thereupon he set up a tre mendous groaning. The ruse worked admirably. The girl screamed and the men came and carried the young man tenderly into the house. Then he was assisted to undress and deposited in the spare room. He had barely begun to chuckle over the success of the stratagem when the girl's mother put in an appearance, armed with a mus tard plaster a foot square. This she immediately proceeded to clap on the young man's shoulders where he in cautiously located the damage to his frame. For two mortal hours that wo man sat by the bed, and was not sat isfied till she beheld a blister an inch deep. The young man is now reform ed. M.ax.

Then the follow ing story of Grady, told by himself to a firiend, and preserved in the Atlanta Constitution, proves that the strong man had a child's heart He visited his mother on Christmas a year ago, and he says: I don't think I ever felt happier than when I reached the little home of my boyhood. I got there at night. She had saved supper for me and she had remembered all the things I liked. She toasted me some cheese over the fire. Why, I hadn't tasted anything like it since I put off my round jack ets. And then she had some home made candy she knew I used to love, and, bless her heart ! I just felt six teen again as we sat and talked, and tshe told me how she prayed for me and thought of ime always and what a i brightness I had been to her life, and how she heard me coming home ir every boy that whistled along the -street. When I went to bed she came and tucked the cover all around me in the dear old way that none bul ,a mother's hands knowv, and I felt sc rhappy and so peaceful and so full of Stender love and tender memories thai I cried happy, grateful tears until] went to sleep. IWhen he finished, says the narra tor, his eyes were full of tears, and sc were mine. He brushed his hanc facross his brow swiftly and said laughingly :-"Why, what are yoi crying about ?" W bat do you knowi e about all this sort of feeling ?" r Grady was a real man, and in thy present crisis his wise counsels wi] be\reatly missed. Christmas Casualties. Christmas has th;year been unusual ly full of accidents. We give below a few of those that we have heard of: Last Thursday evening the mule on which Mr. J. N. Riggs was riding, became fright ened near Mr. W. J. Clark's and started to run. Mr. Riggs tried to retain his seat in the saddle, but a few kicks and pitches, a broken saddle girth, and he went [spinning forward over the mule's head. He came down head-foremost on the hard clay. He received on the top of his head a gash three inches long and to the bone, and was kno'eked un conscious. Messrs Geo. and Frank McCall, who were passing at the time in their wag on, took him up and brought him on to Dinkins & Co's drug store, where his wound was dressed, six stitches being necessary to sew up the wound. Mr. Riggs lost a quanti ty of blood, and was dangerously hurt, but he is improving. He is still confined to his bed. Policeman King was dangerously cut Christmas day, by Frank Johnson, a colored man from about Wilsons. Policeman Clark was attempting to arrest a negro in a dis reputable house, and Mr. King, who was not on duty at the time but happened to be about, went to his assistance. Mr. King had just succeeded in pulling the arrested negro to the door when Frank Johnson ran up be hind him (King), and began slashing into him with a razor. The negro made at least two attempts to cut him. The first time the razor cut a hole at least ten inches long in the pantaloons, and grazed the skin. The second time he cut a gash in Mr. King's right thigh about six inches long and an inch and a half deep. Dr. Pack sewed up the wound, and Mr. King is getting on very well. He was able to be out on crutches to day. Doctor Hilton, a colored man on Santee, was accidentally shot in the calf of his leg last Friday, a very severe wound. Mr. J. H. Scarborough, of Manville, Sum ter county, was severely and dangarously beat over the head and face by Mr. Pink Coleman on last Thursday night. Dr. Pack was called in, and it took 25 stitches to sew up the wounds. One across the face was 4J inches long and to the bone. Two arter ies were cut, and he was in danger of bleed ing to death. Mr. Coleman is contined in jail, charged with assault and battery, with attempt to kill. Isaiah McIntosh, a colored boy in the em ploy of Dr. Pack, while chopping wood Christmas Eve, cut his foot very badly, al most severing two of his toes. George June, about ten years old, son of Mr. Jack June, was accidentally shot in the back by Mr. Henry Bell, about 1 o'clock Christmas Eve night. The wound is not ise rious. While Rev. W. H. Workman and his sis ter, Miss Ella, were driving into town Christ mas Eve, the king bolt of the buggy broke, the buggy came uncoupled, and the horse ran. Mr. and Miss WVorkman fell under the buggy. Neither was seriously hurt, but Miss Workman received a slight bruise on her face, and was considerably frightened. Ingram, the youngest child of Mr. D. M. Bradham, fell out of the door last Saturday evening, and broke his arm. The little fel low is about two years old, and suffered very much. He is doing as well as could be expected. A baby near Foreston accidently got its back broken last week. An older sister al so quite small, while carrying the child, fell, and the damage was done. The Electric Girl in Sumter. The case of Daisy Robinson the little ne gro girl who hats created so much talk is still unexplained. Things fly around 1the room and crockery is broken up as hereto fore. A few days ago a sewing machine and wardrobe were turned over while Daisy was several feet away. All of these things have been witnessed by reliable citizens who are unable to explain the cause. Last week large crowds flocked to see her while in the yard of Mr. C. E. Stubbs. We understand she has been sent to the country.-Sumter Ad vance. Catarrh originates in scrofulous taint. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, and thus permanently cures catarrh. Friday. The following are a few historical events that have happened on the unlucky day, Friday: Lee surrendered on Fri day. Moscow was burned on Friday. Washington was born on Friday. Shakespeare was born on Friday. America was discovered on Friday. Richmond was evacuated on Friday. The bastile was destroyed on Friday. The Mayflower was landed on Friday. Queen Victoria was married on Friday. King Charles I. was beheaded on Friday. Fort Sumter was bombarded on Friday. Napoleon Bonaparte was bor-n on Friday. Julius Cesar was assassinated on Friday. The battle of Marengo was fought on Friday. The battle of Waterloo was fought on Friday. The battle of Bunker Hill was fought on Friday. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake on Friday.. The battle of New Orleans was fought on Friday. The Declaration of Independence was signed on Friday. 1There are times when a feeling of hassi tude will overcome the most robust, when the system craves for pure blood, to furnish the elements of health and strength. The best remedy for purifying the blood is Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla. Sick headache, biliousness, nausea, cos tiveness, are promptly and agreeably ban ished by Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kid ney pillets (little pills.) If health and life are worth anything, and you are feeling out of sorts and tired out, tone up your system by taking Dr. J. 11.. McLean's Sarsaparilla. Dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, distress af ter eating, can be cured and prevented by taking Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pille'ts (little pills.) For a safe and certain remedy for fever and ague, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe ver cure; it is warranted to cure. Thle New King of P'ortugal inaugurated. Lisos, Dec. 28.--The ccremnony 'of pro claiming His Majesty Carlos I. as King of Portugal and Algavaries took place to-day. The weather was cloudy, but this had no ef feet upon the crowds of enthusiastic pe-loe who thronged the streets through which the King passed on his way to the palace of Ne cessidades. The King left the castle at 1k' lem at 11 o'clock, and tbe journey to the palace, where~ .he King took the oath of of fice, was made without the occurrenice of aniy incident of an unfavorable character.

How They Hunt at Panola. PAxora, S. C., DEc. 2-4TH, 1889. EDIToR ANNING TMrEs:-I noticed il your last issue quite a revelation from "Par son Sumter." whom I had several pleasani days with last week, at my house and in the tield, as he wrote you. Politeness to my guest causes me to feel very modest in attempting to deplumehin of any glory he may claim ov-r ime, as it was my special desire to have him enjoy hi visit and field sports while with me. But since he has thrown down the gauntlet and opened this battery of criticism, etc., upon me, I am obliged to ask "Parson Sumter' what he considers a beat, as I am obliged to differ with him in the count. I fear he lost his "notch stick" before he began his com putation, or else we used different methods of counting. We will see. 'My little brother, who took my place in my absence on the first day's hunt, bagged more birds than he did. Parson's shells were all right too. The second day I was there in usual good spirits and confident of success. And, when the aay's hunt was over, I was not disappointed when I counted more birds from my bag than he did. Now I began to feel real sorry for him, as at least one of the party to whom he was anxious to appear as the Sumter crack shot began to feel ashamed of him for coming so far to enter a contest, and to be two days behind in the race. So the third day, Parson W. and I agreed to give him an excuse. We loaded a few shells with slugs, not the ones he was using however, and that night made it convenient to cut into onc', before the eyes of every one present, and the "mental dejection"' I suf fered then was that he did not make use of the trick to excuse his defeat, as he was that day farther behind than ever, and still my guest. le says he beat me in the field and in the highway. There was an occasion ke this. I routed a bird from a ditch lying of the highway. The bird went in his Oection, flying between him and the ditch, and in such close proximity to him that I had to keep one eye on him and the other on the bird, so missed the bird, rather than run the risk of carrying him home, both beaten and banged. Now the hunt was over, and we were homeward bound, and I noticed that the "Parson" was unusually quiet and wearing the usual long face of a sportsman after de feat, arousing himself occasionally to re mark that I had shot a great many times more than he had, and that he had done much better shooting than I had done, in proportion to number of shots. My sympathies were now keenly aroused, and I felt relieved that he had found an ar gument that would reconcilehim. But, since reading the article in your paper, I have concluded that this is the way Sumter sportsmen count, when they fail to "git 'em in de bag." Now 1 kept no account of my shots, or the number of times he shot. So if he did, and it is upon this ground that he claims victory, I reckon I am out, as I shot every one I could see and some that I couldn't see. I'll get even with him, if that is his game, as I will let pop shots and thicket chances pass next time, as he did. And now, I ex tend to the "Parson" a cordial invitation to come down again and enter the contest. I will be glad to entertain him, and will prom ise to take the best care possible of him and his shells. PANOLA'S CRACK SHOT.

Dec. 23rd, 1889). Panola News. PAxOLa, DEC. 30.- Christmas has come and gone. We have had our joys fully met. To some it has been melancholy and sad. An unusual degree of pleasure in our own lives dates back for fifty-two years. Appar ently vigorous and youthful, though still resting on the margin of the river, waiting to cross over, one of my age and time of life can expect but a short time upon earth. It may be before another Christmas day the winged messenger will claim many who to day rejoice over the pleasures of life. Ret rospectively, sins of omission, as well as commission, lie at our door. Who of us, the best of us, can foreshadow the good or evil we have done to mankind, or who of the younger generation may date their downfall from our example ? Example should have the greatest weight in a man's character. It was my great pleasure to be the guest of Capt. A. L. Lesesne's comipany, the Con nor Mounted Riflemen, on the 14th. Capt.

Westbrook and Edwin R. GoodE have for some time caused considerable ex citement in Kershaw County, S. C., by em ploying a large gang of negroes in digginp near Lynch's Creek, for the purpose, as they say, of finding a treasure, amounting t< $200,000, which they say was buried ther by Gen. W. T. Sherman in 1865. The search ers claim that they were specially commis sioned by John Sherman to do the work Yesterday Gen. Sherman said that it was al: stuff and nonsense to connect his name with the scheme. He knew nothing about any treasure.-X Y. World. In reference to the above the Charlestor News and Courier says: "As Gen. Shermar denies positively that he buried any treas ures in Kershaw County, :- 1865, the peo ple of that county have strong encourage. ment to keep on digging. The old freeboot er's assertions usually are like dreams-ihey go by contraries'" DOES EXPERIENCE COUNT ? It does, :n every line of business, and es. pecially in compounding and preparing medicines. This is illustrated in the greal superiority of Hood's Sarsaparilla over other preparations, as shown by the re. markable cures it has accomplished. The head of the firm of C. I. Hood & Co.. is a thoroughly competent and experienced pharmacist, having devoted his whole life to the study and actual preparation of med. icines. He is also a member of the Massa. chusetts and American Pharmaceutical As. sociations, and continues actively devoted to supervising the preparation of and man aging the business connected with Hood's Sarsaparilla. Hence the superiority and peculiar meril of Hood's Sarsaparilla is built upon th( most subs-.antial foundation. In its prepar. ation there is representcd all the knowlcdge which modern research in medical science has developed, combined with long experi, ence, brain-work, and experiment. It ib only necessary to give this medicine a fain tial to realize its great curative value. M. Kalisky insists that the people should not go to Sumter when he is selling sc cheap.
