H. Huggins, fell into Mr. W. Scott Harvin's well, and was nearly drowned before he was rescued. Mrs. Huggins was making a social call at Mrs. Harvin's, and was just leaving when one of Mrs. Harvin's children ran into the house with the cry that "Hermon Las fallen into the well !" Mrs. Huggins was first to get to the well, and in her fright attempted herself to go down into the well to save he,: boy, but was prevented. The little fellow of course sank when he fell in. and before his mother's eyes he sank again ! The buek et pole was at once let down, and the little fellow managed to sustain himself thereby for a few minutes, by which time Mr. Patton McLeod, who was near by, arrived and at once-rapidly descended to where the little fellow was, reaching him just as he was sinking the third time. Others having ar rived by this time they both were pulled out by means of the well pole. Hermon was not hurt. but suggested that it was rather much water for one time. There are two remarkable coincidences in this connection. A few months ago a little child of Mr. N. M. Johnson fell into Mr. C. R. Harvin's well, and the same negro girl was in that yard and near the well, as was in Mr. W. S. Harvin's yard when Hermon fell into the well. Mr. J. W. McLeod was passing Mr. C. R. Harvin's just after young Johnson fell in, and the child was rescued by Mr. McLeod. Mr. McLeod's son Patton rescued young Huggins. The family feel as if the little boy was rescued from the grave.

Sum merton News. SUM.MERToN, Sept. 22.-The weather has been more favorable for gathering the tleecy staple, and a great deal has been harvested the past week. The lecture delivered by Dr. J. L. Easter ling last Friday night was quite a treat to those that were fond of French history. The subject was Napoleon. The Doctor did the subject full justice, and .aicquitted him self to the satisfaction of his audience. A shooting scrape occurred up on Jacks Creek last Friday evening between Mr. Thomas Gardner and two colored boys. It seems that one of the boys interfered with Mr. Gardner while he was weighmng cotton for the other hands. He was ordered to de sist, but refused to do so. Hot words wvere passed. In the altercation Mr. Gardner shot Gabriel McDuffie in the leg and Nelson Bracey in the lower part of the abdomen. Both the wounded were getting on very well on yesterday. Lieut. Cabaniss an d family left for Charles ton a few days ago. The Lieutenant has been relieved from duty at the Citadel, and has been ordered to Texas. Ayoung Mr. Henderson arrived at Dr. J. R.Henderson's yesterday. He will likely make the village his home. Mr. Sam Sparks has commenced work on Mrs. Ingram's house. It wvill be located in front of Maj. R. R. Briggs's. c. News from Silver. SnavER, Sept. 22.-Another eventful day in Silver's history marks an epoch of her rising progress. The morning wa spent in a trial justice court, in the trial of road defaulters; the evening was characterized by the ladies' church festival. There is life in all pleasure, but to enhance that pleasure womnan's work is the most laudable. First at the sepulcher, last at the cross, she finds a solace for all of man's woes. Were it not for the disturbing element of some non professing church members, our commnunity bids fair to rival others. Dancing seems to cripple religion. It is an evil our preach ers fail to handle, and for which they are in a measure responsible. The moral stand ard of the rising generation is dangerously crippled even by those whose lives as chris - tians should be an example woithy of imi tation. Even our academy, built by the - State's money for the moral training of boys and girls, has been allowved by the trustees - to be turned into a ball room. Our school commissioner, if he be a God-fearing man, e must look these things square in the face. t He is responsible and must be held account - able. .A ride to Summerton will pay you. Every t effort has been made to build up Suimmer ton. Capt. J. P. Brock and Mr. Rutledge are enterprising gentlemen. Mr. J. A. Way has contrate~d to build several new houses at Silver. There is no little place which is destined to improve so rapidly. The Silver Alliance met here this evening and elected the sam~e old officers for the en suing year. This Alliance is in a very flourishing condition. IMr. Thomias Gardner, a highly respecta ble white man who does business for Mr. Days on his plaintation, becamie involved in 'some tr'ouble with some negroes last Saturday, which caused himi tc a shoot two of them. It is said Mr. Gardnei , was justifiable, as the negroes advanced a upon him with pistols. Cotton crops are very short this season. e Mrs. A. S. Briggs, of Manning, is visiting e relatives at Silver. r Mrs. Brogdon accompanied by her daugh. e ter, of Georgia, is on a visit to her sister, A Permanent Cure. For years I was troubled with the most malignant type of chronic blood trouble. After trying various other remedies, without getting any benefit, I was induced by Joe Schell, a barber, who has since moved to St. Louis, and who was cured by Swift's Specific of a constitutional blood trouble, to take S. S. S. A few bottles cured ine permanentiy. I also consider S. S. S. the best tonic Iever saw. While tak ing it my weight increased and ny health improved in every way. I have recommended S. S.

The new Presbyterian church at this place has L:een completed and is a handsome building. It is not a very large structure, but capable of accommodating the congre gation at this place. The heavy and continued rains which have been falling for the past eight or ten days, have greatly injured the cotton crop. Great quantities of open cotton cannot be gather ed because of its wet condition, besides much of it is sprouting in the bolls, and in some places the bolls are rotting. At this writing the weather is warm, and the indi cations are that the rain will continue. The Episcopalians held the first service in their chapel at this place last Sunday even ing. Rev. H. H. Phelps officiated and ad ministered the sacrament. The chapel is not completed yet, but will be in the near future. In the original grant of this town by the lord proprietors, a lot of land was designated and set apart for the erection of an Episcopal church, but, singular to say, this is the first house of worship of that denomination that has ever been built here. The congregation is few in number, but by persistent and steady effort it is at last en abled to worship under its own vine and fig tree, with none to iolest or make it afraid.

I find that I was mistaken, and that I should have advised you that the appoint ments should be made at least thirty days before the election. I am solely responsible for this mistake, you having referred the wvhole matter to me and followed the advice given. I regret this mstake ve ry much and can only account for lit by having confused the appointment of commlissionecrs of elect ion with the appoint ment of comkiniissioner's in certain towns, among them Siium nerville and Walterboro, where the appointments are required to be nmade sixty' davs before the election.
