We take the liberty of calling the
:ention of the town authorities to
a open violation in this town of
wvn, State, and Divine laws, by per
as keeping their stores open on
.days for the purpose of selling
ods. Every Sunday persons on
air way to church are confronted
th the disgraceful and open defiance
the law by certain merchants in
is town, and last Sunday when peo
should have had their thoughts
more solemn things, the store with
, brick front was open and in fullI
ist with a crowd of negroes inside,
d a still larger crowd on the side
k indulging in loud and boister
s conduct. The attention of the
lice was called to what seemed to
a row inside, and one of them en
-ed and found a negro by the name
Phelps drunk and using loud oaths
out somd transaction he had just
d. The disturbing party was ar
ted and put in the lock-up, but the
estion is who is to blame for all
s disturbance. Is it the poor ig
rant negro, or ought the parties
it openly defy the laws of man and
>d be held responsible? In our
gment the town council should in
uct their marshals that whenever
!y find persons selling goods on
uday to immediately arrest them
let the council make them show
ise why they should not be severa
punished. The store with the
k front is not the only one that
ps open on Sunday, but there are
iers also, and they should be taught
t it is against the law, and that all
lators of the law regardless of wvho
y are will be punished.

Fire! Fire! Fire!
At about a quarter past ten o'ck
Monday night the rapid ringing of I
town bell and the cry of fire stait:
our citizens, many of whom had :
tired for the night, as is evidenced
the manner in which their garnei
were arranged when tlwty appeared
the scene of the confl ration.
Walter Roof, a colored man in t
employ of Mr. H. Weinberg, was fi:
to discover the fire. He says that
and Mr. Richard Davis bad just clos
up, and on his way home, at Lovr;
corner, he happened to look down I
wards Church street, when he notic
smoke about the post ofIlie. He cal1
Mr. Davis and asked him what
meant. Discovering that the smo
was cowing out of the post o1ie th
gave the alarm, and policeman St uk
immediately went to the market a
rang the town bell.
When they reached the post ofi
they saw no fire on the outside, b
smoke was coming out of all the cre
ices, and the building was shakii
"like a pot boiling." Some one bmi
in the delivery window, and t]
flames and smoke issued therefro
with such force as to cause the pers<
to fall. An effort was made to g
inside to save the contents, but it w
imnossible as the whole inside was
fire.
About a half hour before the alar
was given a gentleman was at the c
fice mailing a letter, and he says I
saw a light inside which he took to I
a burning lamp, but saw no smok
and did not think that the buildit
was on fire.
We mentioned this circumstance I
post master Stewart, and he says th
le is positive that he left no lig
burning. He left the office at aboi
9 o'clock, and before leaving he lockc
his table drawer, blew out the Im
and carried the star route mail hou
with him as was his custom.
Postmaster Stewart claims to be
heavy loser by the fire. He says th:
he had just collected up his mon
to make his regular quarterly repo
to the government, and does not r,
nember precisely how much he wi
lue the government, but the amoi
>f cash left in his table drawer was i
round numbers about one hundre
nd ninety dollars, of which amom
ninety dollars was his and the re
belonged to the postal departmen
He also lost his law books, stationer
ind other property, in fact all that ti
building contained was consumed I

y A Shootinz Affray at Suminerton.
rt When Saturday's mail arrived we
3 read in the daily papers the detailed I
is accounts of the terrible devastation
it and death in the Ohio Valley, and that
,n the city of Louisville had suffered
d frightful loss of life and property as v
It the result of a cyclone which passed
through that section last Friday. It
t inade us shudder, and reminded us t
Y that trouble never comes single and s
Ie alone.
y We had not laid aside our paper
when the news caie in from our own
city of Suminerton, announcing that
one of her citizens with force and h
arms and against the peace and dig
4' nity of the State, did, on Friday the i
28th day of March in the year 1890, s
go out upon the highway and then &
I and there with malice aforethought 1
make ready, aim, and fire a report'
from a deadly weapon usually desig
a nated as a shot gau, at the person of a
buckle berry dude, name unknown.
e The dude aforesaid and the citizen
it aforesaid upon the report of said gun
Ddid separate a s the goats and sheep
of forimer times, one going to the I
eright and the other to the left, nevert
it to get together any more; in other
d words the negro ran and has not been
eheard of since. The citizen realizing
that he had violated the laws of' his a
country bade his friends a hurried
S"good-'bye," and started to leave ft
k Sate.c
s A kind hearted friend approached a
himn and noticing his excited condi- a~
e tion inquired into the cause. He told
the friend that lie had just shot at a e
s negro and that he was going to leave
sbefore the strong hand of the law
could grab him. The gentleman ask
eed him, "Where are you going?" and c
ewas told that he was going to Silver
in order that he might get out of the o
.jurisdiction of the county and State. t~
it The next question propounded by the
at anxious friend was, "Did you hit him?"
is ito which lie replied: '-o but the
it fellow might come back, and I prefer -
Ito get out of the way." After being I
Is assured by the gentleman that the
tcitizens of Summerton could not af
tford to lose such a valuable acquisi- ~
Ie tion to their growing and prosperous a
town, the citizen was persuaded to c
Le abandon the idea of thus recklessly
' tearing himself away from home and
l' friends, and concluded to remain at
;o home and not undertake such a long r
a 'and perilous journey. a
s, We regret to hear of this unfortn-t
nate occurrence, as it is very unusual 't
s for that very quiet town to be dis- E
turbed by anything that smacks of
lawlessness. The citizens are pro- 1.
gressive and law-abiding, and we re
gret to learn that her record has been Y
broken by even an attempt at any
thing that would have the slightest
ntendency to make people abroad think e
that a breach of the peace could oc
cur at Summierton.

The Southern Situation.
It is only the part of wisdom after the ad
aission is made, as it generally is, that ne
ro suffrage has not been a success, to at

ldiers could not hold the Republican Leg
datures in their places, Harrison's soldiers
annot. The art of popular self-government
as not changed. Tf he fabric of our insti
tions falls apart when the electors are il
terate. When an artist puts ivory black
to Chinese white he does not lose his tem
er becanse the mixture is not still a pure
-bite. What can be said of those Republi
inns, who, having added a million ignorant
otes to the vote of the S.rth, denounce the
emocratg because the qality of the ele
>rate has deteriorated ? All things con
dered, it is a wonder that the Southern

THE SPRING MEDICINE.
The popularity which Hood's Sarsaparilla I
as gained as a spring medicine is woDderful
possesses just those elements of health
iving, blood-purifying and appetite-restor- t
ig which everybody seems to need at this
mason. Don't continue in a dull, tired, un
itisfactory condition when you may be ben
dtted by Hood's Sarsaparilla. It purifies
ie blood and makes the weak strong.
