All other businesses pursued the even tenor of their way, and the day pass ed off as any ordinary, common, every day Saturday usually does. Not that we love George les but boodle more. Sheriff Doar, of Georgetown, tele graphed yesterday to the sheriff of this county, that he had captured Pedro Meyers and Dick Meyers (fath er and son). These two gentlemen are jail birds that had flown from their cage some months ago, and un til now succeeded in evading arrest. Last night Sheriff Lesesue despatched a deputy to Georgetown to bring the birds back, and their arrival is expect ed here to-morrow, when they will resume their respective positions in the county jail until the.next term of court. Manning Didn't Get It. Manning did not get the fair, but Chicago did ! Manning has at last been doomed to disappointment by the action of congress last Monday. When the final vote came up in congress to select a site for the World's Fair the city of Chicago won the day after a long and spirited contest, New York came in as a good second, but Manning was not even mentioned. While we regret that our beautiful town was given the "go by" and actually slighted, yet like good people we will accept the situation, and stand ready to assist this great people by rendering all the aid that we can. The only reason we can give for their treating us in this manner, and not selecting Manning as the site, is that some busy-body wrote on to the members of congress that our county commissioners had not the means at their command to have the court house re-painted and work done to the fencing around the square. We certainly have missed a fine opportu nity to get the World's Fair, but we hope to live to see the day when our beautful court house park will be put in such a condition that the committee in charge of the five hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America will be attracted to locate the grand celebration at Manning. Now in order for us to get the next fair we must be up 'and doing, and make every effort to induce our next legislators to levy the necessary tax to have this work done. This is intended as a suggestion to the county commissioners that if thoy will do this repairing soon it will save money to the county, and also to remind them of the fact that "a stitch in time saves nine." County Sunday-Schoel Convention. Purr.a to an invitation extended through the ,:-ounty papers, representatives from the Sunday-schools of Foreston, Sum merton, Jordan, Davis, and Manning, met in the Manning Presbyterian church last Saturday morning. On motion Rev. R. W. Barber was called to the chair, and J. H. Lesesne requested to act as secretary. The chairman explained the objects of the meeting to be the formation of an inter-de nominational Sunday-school organization. A motion was made and adopted that a com mittee of three be appointed to nominate suitable persons as officers of said organiza tion. The committee recommended: Rev. R. W. Barber, president; Rev. James Mc Dowell and Rev. E. D. Wells, vice-presi dents; J. H. Lesesne, secretary; and Rev. H. M. Mood, J. E. Tindal, J. A. M. Cannon, W. T. Touchberry and Dr. T. L. Burgess, an executive committee, all of whom were, unanimously elected. 'It was .suggested that delegates from the county be sent to the State ~Sunday-school convention to be held in Columbia on the 4th day of March next. D. J. Bradham, C. R. Harvin, and J. H. Lesesne being nominated without oppo sition were elected. There being no fur ther business the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the executive committee. W. F.

EI.1onEE, Feb. 20.-W. Lindsay, an Irish man, a machinist by trade, from Gastonia, N. C., was shot and instantly killed about 8 o'clock last night by George Collier of this place. The circumstances which led to the shooting were as follows: Lindsay, who had been here for several days on a spree, was ordered to leave the hotel for being drunk and failing to pay his board, and, in a drunken stupor, he enter ed Collier's house, as he did several others, and insulted his wife very grossly. A ne gro boy notified Collier of the fact, and he at once proceeded to his home, where the negroe's statement was corroborated. Upon this information, Collier came immediately to Stack's store. Walking very briskly up to Lindsay, with pistol in hand, exclaim ing as he came, "You have insulted my wife, you - - -," he commenced firing. There was a grunt from Lindsay. as he turned and started to get away, Collier fol lowing him and continuing to shoot until Lindsay fell dead. Immediately after the shooting Collier surrendered himself to the authorities, and was taken this morning to Orangeburg by a deputy constable. He will be tried at the May term of court. Lindsay's wife was notified of the unfortunate affair this morn ing, and the remains were forwarded by ex press to Gastonia, N. C. There is danger in impure blood.

Her husband had left home at an early hour for work at the saw mill, but had occsion to go to the house about 8 o'clock -and found gis wife dead in the fire place, having fallen in on her face.-Mfarlboro Denm Iocat.

COURT. The court of general sessions opened Monday morning, with Judge Kershaw pre siding. After the customary routine of or ganizing the court was finished, His Honor charged the grand jury in substance as fol lows: Gentlemen of the jury, it will be your du ty to examine into the charges against the various persons that are contained in the sev eral bills which will be given you, and when twelve of your number agree that there is a probability of guilt return same as true bills, and when twelve of your number do not agree return no bill. You do not try the cases, and it is only necessary for you to examine enough matters to satisfy your selves that there is a probability of guilt. It is gratifying that your criminal docket is very small. The sheriff only reports three persons in jail. You are taken from the people of this county and in a measure you are the guardians of the people. You will sometime desire to examine the public of fices. This is an important duty. You are also to examine the public buildings, &c., and report your findings to the court some time during the year. It has been the cus tom that grand jurors should present and bring to the attention of the court any viola tion of the criminal law. There are abuses of a public character that nobody is directly interested therein, hence it becomes your duty to call the court's attention to it. It is not meant however that you convert your selves into a body of detectives, and present every trifling offense, but only such things as will effect the general welfare of the public. It is your duty to report the cou dition of the roads, bridges, and ferries, and make such suggestions as you may deem proper. If you find it necessary to consult the court you may do so at any time during the court. The court then explained the law regard ing the bills presented. The hours for holding court were fixed from 9.30 to 1.30, and then from 3 P. x. to a suitable hour for adjourning. The grand jury found true bills in the following cases: Rufus Felder, assault and battery with intent to kill Dick Meyers, burglary and larceny. Primus English, obtaining goods under false pretenses. A. S. Briggs, obtaining moneys under false pretences. Pedro Meyers, assault and battery with intent to kill. J. P. W. Gibbons, John W. Hobbs, Wylie H. Barrow, and T. M. Beard, assault and bat tery with intent to kill. The State vs. Primus English, charged with having obtained goods under false pre tenses, was the first case tried. The testi mony showed that the defendant had ob tained advances from vir. Louis Loyns, and had given him as security for said advances a mortgage of a horse, which proved to be the property of another, by his having given a prior mortgage for the purchase money of the horse. 'Ihe jury rendered a verdict of guilty. The State vs. Rufus Felder, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, as sault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and carrying a concealed weapon, was the next heard. It commenced Monday afternoon and was not concluded until yes terday. This was a case of domestic trouble between husband and wife, they having had a small size family "racket," much to the injury of the wife, as it was shown that the defendant on a certain night unmercifully b-it her, and wound up his highly interest ing performances by attempting to cut her with a razor that he drew from his pocket, but was prevented from using it by a man by name of Bell. The trial was long and tedious, but at times very amusing. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty. Next came the case of the State vs. Alber tus S. Briggs (white), charged with obtain ing moneys under false pretenses. This case occupied the attention of the court the rest of yesterday and this morning. The jury rendrecd a verdict of not guilty. 'Then came the ease of the State vs. J. P. W. Gibbons, John W. Hobbs, Wylie H. Barrow, and T. Md. Beard, charged with as sault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. This is the case that created, such a sensation some time ago in Salem. It ap pears that a colored man by the name of Hardy Herron shot a dog belonging to one of the defendants, and a few nights after the shooting of the dog some parties visited Herron's house, dragged him out, and un mercifully beat him. He charges the above named parties with the offence. The case will be concluded to-morrow. The grand jury made their presentment, Tuesday afternoon as follows: PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY. STATE OF SOUTH C. r0orrs,) CoUNTY oF CI.RENDoN. February 25, 1890. To Hifs Honor, J. B. Kersha: We, the grand jury, would respectfully submit the following as their presentment: We have acted upon all the bills given us by the solicitor. There still remains some incomplete papers submitted to us incom plete, which we pass over f'or the present term of court, until we get further informa tion. On account of press of time we have de ferred till the May term to investigate and report on the county- offices and county in stitutions. We respectfully recommend that the court house be supplied with suitable chairs in all the different offices and court room. as we found no chairs in the Probate Judge's office (the office tendered us to seat our body during our deliberations), and the other offices are equally bare. All of which we respectfully submit. W. Md. PLOWDEN, Foreman. Selling Goods in Sumter. The Jbevi Brothers, of Sumter, are receiving by every train a line of goods suitable for the present and coming season. These young gentlemen are making a display with their goods that does them credit. They are en deavoring to keep abreast of the times, and with abundant capital at their command, and with their practical experience, they are now on the top round of the mercantile ladder, and propose to stay there, and be the maer cantile leaders of the city of Sumter. They have just opened a beautiful as sortment of ginghams in plain, stripes, and plaids; an exquisite line of satines, persian, striped, and figured, includ ing all the very latest styles; and an elegant line of the very latest spring shades of all kinds of ladies' dress goods. An immense stock of shoes is also being opened, and their clothing counters wvere never filled with a finer assortment. The nobbiest styles in hats can be found in their establish ment. In fact, any article thatt the people need and that a first-class mer chant will have in his store will be found with the Levis. Their motto is never let the stock get down, but always keep the shelves and counters well filled with the best assortment of goods that can be pur chased. The Levis have proven already that they can sell groceries as cheap as any house by selling in large quantities to the number of sub-unions they are furnishing. They appreciate the sub union trade. They boast of it, and say that although their profit is very small the large quantities of goods sold by them makes it very profitable in the end, and certainly more agree able to all parties concerned. When any of our people go to Sumter it will be to their interest to visit the Levi Brothers, and they will convince you that your visit to them was not thrown away, and if we are any judge you will come away from them delighted that you called and! purchased from them. .ZNeuratypc k'ersonls And those troubled with nervo~isness resultins from care or uverwori w~ill be relieved by takuig .Br'own's Iron Bitters.

It was a lovely Sabbath day, beautiful sunshine, but i lonely ride over bill a-d dale. Lonesome is it wa', old George did his duty well. It was his first trip as a Texan to a road cart. It is wonderful indeed how these Texas p0 aies become gentle so soon. It is also amaz ngly strange how such eternal vengeance is 'ronght to bear against Texas horses. Nightfall brought us to the pleasant home >f County Commissioner W. H. H. Hobbs, ,here we had a pleasant chat with him and is aged mother and younger sister. A ileasant night's sleep prepared our body and nind for Monday's work. Several bridges :ad to be looked after, so this commissioner nd the other made a general inspection. rhere is an immense quantity of bridges inder Mr. Hobbs's jurisdiction, requiring Ln outlay of money that would seem almost anprecedented. The levy made by the leg slature for bridges and poor is too small. Ko one is in a better position to know this ;han the county commissioners. To him xho doubts this I am prepared to give facts and figures. One grand trouble is, the :ounty officials can only disburse as they are tuthorized by law, hence why the grand ju ors are so frequently complaining. The .evy for bridges and poor will prove inade muate to meet the demand. Another objec :ionable feature with the county disburse ients is that there is no levy for lunacy :laims. The county could have been cleared >f debt were it not for this unfortunate )mission. It is due the people, it is due the :itizens who hold such county claims, that hey should know where this fault lies. S;alem has good roads and good bridges. rhis speaks well for Mr. Hobbs. So far as ies in the power of the present board they ire determined to have good roads and good bridges. Another hardship entailed is the lifficulty of obtaining overseers. So objec tionable is the present system of working roads that many pay their commutation tax. This necessitates very often their entire management by the commsssioners them ;elves. Mr. Moise is at Silver. He has been spending several days surveying, locating Lots for Messrs. Thames and Briggs. This is the place for capitalists to invest their money. Lots can be had on reasonable terms, choice lots for residences or stores. The railroad authorities opened up this week i telegraph office. Mr. A. C. Briggs has been appointed postmaster. Ladies on orseback daily visit coming and departing trains. really there seems from every ap pearance that the community intend by energy and pluck to build a town. A word for the good people of Packsville. But a short while ago little did we dream of uch magnificent improvements, so rapidly reaching a growing town. The prince of merchants, G. H. Curtis, always greets you with a smile, ever ready to lend his helping and. Mr. C. should be commended to the farmers generally, especially to the Alliance men. The farmers endorse the State convention. f nominations are made in Columbia some rromi this section want Tillman nominated ror Governor, and the Hon. James E. Tin lal for Secretary of State. Tom. l 1-94 Summerton News. SumaInmTox, Feb. 24.-Dr. T. L.Burgess's rug stora is completed, and he is moving is drugs into it. Mr. Sam Sparks, the contractor of Mr. M. . Sauls's store, has the frame up. He is to ave it ready for the goods in thirty days. At a meeting of the Santee Wide-awake Club, on last Friday, in this place, several names wero enrolled, and business of im portance was transacted. Croat good has been accomplished already, and the socidty is only one week old. If the same vim and push is carried on this part of the county will soon be rid of the liquor pest. We hope other societies will be organized in the county. Dr. .J. R. Henderson has bought a lot from .Maj. Briggs, and will build a dwelling on it at once. We had a light fall ot sleet on Saturday, but have spring weather again this morning. Mr. T. Wilson is pushing his road on in the direction of Panola. The C. S. & N. Railroa~d has built a switch at this place, and is putting up a platform. It will build a depot in the near future. Miss Mamie Whilden is visiting at Dr. Briggs's. Mr. Stephen Thomas, of Charleston, is visiting friends in this neighborhood. C. There are times when a feeling of lassi 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 Sarsapauiua. Sick headlache, biliousness, nausea, cos tiveness, are promptly and agreeably ban ished by Dr. J1. 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. H. McLean's Sarsap~arilla. Dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, distress af ter eating, can be cu:-ed and prevented by taking Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets (little pills.) For a safe and certain remedy for fever and agne, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe ver cure; it is warranted to cure. The most delicate constitution can safely use Dr. J. H. McLean's tar wine lung bal sam. -It is a sure remedy for coughs, loss of voice, and all throat and lung troubles. Faults of digestion cause disorders of the liver and the whole system becomes derang ed. Dr. J. 1I. McLean's Sarsaparilla perfects the process of digestion and assimilation, and thus makes pure blood. Even the most vigorous and hearty people have at times a feeling of weariness and las situde. To dispel this feeling take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla; it will impart vigor and vitality. No need to take those big cathartic pills; one of Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets is quite sufficient and more agreeable. Th'le Road Question in a Nuatshell. A good road costs a considerable sum to build in the first instance, and something annually to keep it in repair; but a bad road costs all the farmers who use it, and all the land-owners within five or six miles of it, much more thah both these items put to gether.-Aiken Recordern. -p IM Five Strong Points of S. S. S. 1st. It is entirely vegetable, contains no minerals or poison of any kind, and builds up the system from the first dose. 2d. It cures Cancer of the Skin. N~o oth er remedy or treatment was over known to care it. 3d. It cures hereditary blood taint, even in the third and fourth generations. No other remedy has ever done it. 4th. It has never failed to eradicate scrof ula (or king's evil) in all its forms from the system. 5th. It cures contagions blood poison in all its stages by eliminating the horrible virus from the system, thus giving relief from all the consequences of this bane of the human family. "My blood had been so out of order during the summer of 1888 that I virtually had no health at aill. I had no appetite; nothing I ate agreed with mce. I was feeble, puny, and always feeling bad. I had tried various remedies without receiving any be.nefit, un til at length I commenced on Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) That medicine increased my weight from 155 pounds to 177 ponds in a. few months, and made me as well and healthy as any man now living. S.

TuE SwrFT .SPErcIFI Co., Court in Kingstree. KINGsm -, Feb. 24.--Court opened last Monday morning, and adjourned Fri-tay evening. The work of the Sessions result ed as follows: Chamberlain Fulton, obstructing and in juring railroad, seven years in the peniten tiary. William Curlee,fcarrying concealed weap n, six months in the penitentiary. Sarah Peterson, Anna Peterson, and Ge nia Peterson, lareny of grain from the field; Sarah and Genia one year in the pen itentiary, and Anna twelve months in the county jail. Richard Simon, breaking and entering s railroad car in the nighttime with intent to steal, two years in the penite.ntiary. Dillen Duncan (white), grand larceny, two years in the penitentiary. Only one trial by jnry was had in the ommon pleas, the case of J. Z. McConnell against W. H. Kennedy. The plaintiff was in the employ of the defendant as a clerk, and was discharged sometime in March, af ter having, as alleged by him. been employ ed for the year. Ihe defendant, in answer, illeged that the engagement was from month to month, and that defendant was discharged because of irregularity. Thomas 9. Gilland, of this Bar, appeared for the plaintiff, and Attorney General Earle for ]efendant. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for nine and a half months' wages and board with interest, amounting to some $260. A motion for a new trial was refused, and appeal will likely be taken to the State Supreme Court. The Rev. Henry D. Howren lectured twice ere yesterday to large audiences, on the subject of prohibition. The lectures were very entertaining, and the speaker at times was quite eloquent. Farmers are at work with a vim. Prepar ations for the year's crops are much ad vanced, the fine weather aiding. From con versations with many of them there is no great interest manifested in the proposed March convention of the Shell manifesto. More interest is shown in the county elec tions of the coming fall.-etos and Ubutrier. Too Many Candidates for Goyernor. [Carolia Spartan.1 The candidates for Governor are getting quite numerous. In fact, it is getting so that any man who can manage a little law office, a two-horse farm, or a newspaper, thinks himself eminently qualified for the Governorship of the State. The woods will be full of them before the State Convention, if the brakes are not put on in some way. I - 1 ' BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.
