Shooting Affray at Packsville. Yesterday afternoon at Mr. L. F. R. Lesesne's gin house in Packsville, an altercatiou took place between John DuBose, white, and Edmund Holla day, colored, in which DuBose was seriously shot by Holladay. The ball entered under his left arm and passed through the upper part of the left lung. The doctors that attended him say that the wound is likely to prove fatal. It is saidtlat Holladay carried a bale of cotton to the gin, and that DuBose commenced teasing him as he has often done before. Holladay be came offended, and demanded an apology of DuBose, which was refus ed, whereupon Holladay drew his pis tol and advanced on DuBose, who drew his pocket knife and backed up the steps of the gin house. Then Holladay shot him once with a .38 calibre Smith & Wesson improved pistol. Holladay was arrested and lodged in jail last night upon a warrant is. sued by Trial Justice Mahoney.

Weevils in Corn. Mr. A. J. Tindal, in reply to Mr. Sprott's inquiry last week about what was the cause of so many weevils in corn this year, says that in his'long experience he has found that i there is always more or less weevils in corn I every year. but that corn gathered late in the season is mt'ch more damaged by the bugs and weevils. He says the best time to gather corn is the latter part of September, especially if the sea.-on is warm. The barn I onght always to be cleaned out carefully two I or three weeks before the new corn is put in. I Mr. Tindal says his corn this year is consid erably damaged too, he having.counted fif ty-two weevils in one ear. On account of< the cotton opening so early he neglected to house his corn at the proper time. Mr. Tin-1 dal knows of no way of getting rid of the weevils after they once get in the corn, but says the best thing to do is to get the corn housed as soon as possible. The longer it stays in the field, the more the wveevils wvill multiply. Mr. Tindal has been planting corn for more than sixty years. Mr. P. E. Ridgeway says his corn had a great many weevils in it too, but that by scattering leaves of the Jerusalem oak through the corn as it was put in the barn the weevils were driven out, and now his corn is almost entirely free from the pest. This is an experiment with Mr. Rtidgeway, he never having tried it before, but he says he thinks it will drive out every weevil from the corn. The remedy is certainly simple and inexpensive, and is worth trying. Mr. Ridgeway says his oats are greatly injured by the H'essian fly, and he wants to know how to get rid of this evil. Mr. T. J. Cole says there were this year a great many weevils in his corn when it was first gathered, but that as he hauled it in from the field he put it in bins ten feet square, and as each load was thrown into a sin he sprinkled it freely with water and then followed this with a liberal sprinkiing of salt. He packed down the corn as it1 was ,thrown in. This process was followed as each load was hauled in until the bin was full. By this means the ravages of the weevils are stopped. Mr. Cole says the earlier corn is gathered the better it will keep, and if the corn is gathered as soon as the cob is dry enough to keep the heart of the corn from turning black, and is packed tightly so as to get it slightly heated. it will kill out all the weevil eggs or germs, and the oorn will keep nicely for two years or even longer. Mr. Cole is one of the most successful corn planters in the county. Sumter News. (Watchman and Southron.] Mr. Mitch Levi has given out the plans for a fine residence to be built on Liberty street adjoining the lot of Mr. Ferdinand Levi. Mr. N. G. Osteen has purchased from Col. J. H. Earle the property, known as the Frank Sumter lot, of the estate of O'Connor, on Liberty street. The office of the WtVLch man & Southtron will be moved to that stand about the last of December. There is a remarkable case in this county of a colored wan who is over 111 years old. We state it on the .authority of Mr. H. H. Wilson formerly of Mayvesville, and now of Cheraw, who says he can produce indisput able proof of the fact. His name is Joe McFaddin, and he liyes near Mr. W. J. Du Rant's place, within half a nmile of Concord church. Thea barn and stable of Mr. J. J. Cat->, of Raifting Creek were destroyed by fire early on Tuesday morning, supposed to be of inL cendiary origin. He discovered the fire only in time to save his mule, but lost his corn, 250 bushels, and all his fodder. It is to be regretted that this misfortune should follow imnmediately upon the trouble in which Mr. Cato has been involved with the late election, and every effort should be made to discover and punish the incendiary if the fire was, as it is thought to be, of in cendiary origin. It was not generally known until Friday last that Mr. A. P. Levy, wvho has been con ducting the business of a bar-room in this ity for three or four years, had sold out his stock of gools, fixtures, etc., to MIr. A. A. Strauss, of Mayesville, and shaken the dust of Sumter from his feet. It is known now that said Levy left before he could be levied upon, and several creditors are here and elsewhere to pass S2,000 or more toaccount of profit and loss. It is said of Mr. Levy that he had the politeness of a Fienchman. There is no doubt about his taking French leave of us. He is re ported to have gone to San Francisco. General E. W.

It was th1 contesting of the will of the late John W. Wells, wLose property had been partially devised to two colored boys, children of the testator. J. F. IRhame, Esq., Gen. E. W. Moise, and Maj. Marion Moise represented the tie visdes under the will, antid it. 0. Purrdv, Esq., and .1. C. Galluehat, Esq., represent ed the contestants. The court room W:as well filled with witnesses and spectators, and considerable interest was exhibited. The first subscribing witness to tie will swore that lie was present aind saw Mr. Wells sign thet w ill, but Ite could iot re member positively whether tne two other witnesses wtre present or not. The second witness testified that he sub scnbed his name as a witness to the wili, that the signature attached to the will pur porting to be his was his, and that he re Membered distinctly having witnessed the paper, but fifteen years having elapsed he could not remeiber who was present at the time, and lie did riot recollect positively whether Mr. Wells was present. Ie identified the sig-ature as being the signature of John W1A. Wells. and said that he would not have signed his nae.ie as a witness unless be had seen Mr. Vells sign the paper yet the matter had es mped his rmenrery. lie further said that lie could riot remember whether the other two witnesses were present, but that he knew that it was proper for the will to le igned in the presence of the testafor and >f each other to make it valid. The-third witness testified that he was in vited to Mr. Wells's house for the purpose >f witnessing a paper, that he saw Mr. Wells sign the will in his bed room, and :hat he was positive that one of the witness s was present together with the executor, 3ut as to the other witness lie could not re nember but would not pretend to say that :e was not present. He never did sign his 2ame as a witness to a paper unless he actu Illy saw the principsi1 sign his name, or iave the principal to request him to witness tfter first acknowledging his signature. Theso three witnesses were Mr. C. R. Felder, Mr. S. J. Blowmar., and Mr. 1. otte Ragin. Three more honoranle men ould not be found in the county, but after lapse of fifteen years it is not surprising hat a matter of no interest to them should scape their memory. At this stage of the roceedings the counsel for the will rested heir case. Counsel for the contestants hen made a motion to dismiss the proceed ngs upon the ground that the propounders f the will failed to prove the will in solemn orm as required by the general statut mq of outh Carolina; that is to say: that they 'ailed to prove that the will was signed by he testator in the presence of the witnesses tnd in the presence of each other. Then a regular legal battle ensued. Able rguments were made on both sides of the ssue and the a- guments were not concluded intil after dark. At the conclusion of the argurments, the ourt announced that the matters to be con idered were of a very important nature, nd that he did nofeel like taking upon imself the responsibility of rendering a lecision upon the points involved without irst considering the ratter thoroughly. He therefore announced that he would ad. ourn the court until the next morning at o'clock when he would be prepared. de ide the motion, unless C unsel could ar ange to agree aiong themselves on a more mitable day. The lawyers after considerable timue spent n consultation requested the court to ap oint Tuesday, the 25th inst., which day Ias appointed to announce the conclusons )f the court. Cn the morning of the 25th is.t. letters xere received from some of the counsel Iat they would not be at the tiial, and if he case was deciaed against their clients hey would appeal as the case stood. At eleven o'clock the couart was cailed and oseph F. Rhae, Esq., and M. C. Gdlu hat, Esq., were present to represent their respctive interests. The court announced e following decision upon the motion nade by counsel for the contestants: oRDEn THE STAiTE OF SOUTH CAIrOLINA-CL~inEN yoN CocNTY -IN THE 1PnoBATE CoURT.-Ini he mattr of thre last will and testament of rohn WV. Wells, deceased, ex parte John 3. Brock, Edwin Wells, and Nathan Wells. At the close ot thes examnination of the vitnesses swvorn and examrined in support f the paper purporting to be the last will md testament of -lohn W. Wells, deceased, iow being propounded in this court, coun tel for petitioners having rested their case; le counsel for the contestants nmoved this ourt: To dismiss tire petit ion in the proceed ngs, and to adjudge that the paper sought o be propounded as the last wvill and testa eat of John W. Wells, deceased, is not his ast will and testaiment. Having caretully read and scrutinized the aid paper, and having carefully considered he testimony of said witnesses in connec ;ion with i-aid document, I am lead to the onclusion that the piroponents have, in mport of said alleged will made a prium 'acie ease, anid I cannot undirer myv concep ion of my duty sustarin said motion, and, herefore, the sana is refused. Louis AI'rELT, Judge of robaite C. C. November 22nd, 1890l, There being no testimuony offered by the :ntestants against the will the following leree was issued by the court: DECntEE. Pursuant to adjournment on the twentieth lay of November this court re-convened at the court house at eleven o'clock A. M., this lay, and the foregoing case was opened: Mr. Galluchat counsel for some of the :ontestants and MIr. Rihanme representing Edwin Wells one of the proponents of the rileged will of John WV. Wells, wecre present. After reading and filing niy order over ruling the motion made on the 20th instant o dismiss the proceedings herein and re ase probate of the alleged will, I announced hat the court w~as ready to hear testimony n behalf of the said contestants against the dmission of said instrument to probate, ror which I allowed amiple time; but nro estinony having been olired to rebut or vercome the testimony heretofore submit ted by the proponents of the said docu ment as the last will of John W. Wt-lls, I find as matter of fact: That the paper propounded by the petitioners herein as the last will and testament of John W. W'ells, ieceased, wvas exmented by him in his life tine, whiile in the full posession of his men tad and reasoning faculties a., and for his last vill and testramnent in the pr'eence of three creditable witnesses; and that in all other respects the extcntion of said panper was attended by substan tird comnplice with the provisions of the law of this State concerning the executio-i of last wills. As matter of law: That the written instru ment propounded in these proceedings as the last will and testament of Johu W. Wels, deceased, is the last will and testa ment of said John WV. Wells and entitled to be admitted to probate as prayed for in the petitition. Therefore it is adjndged and decreed: That the said written instrumtent so pro. pounded as aforesaid be, and the same hereby is, admitted to pirobatle in due form of law as and for the last will and testament of John W. Wells, deceased. Given under my hand and seal this 25th day of November, A. D)., 1890. [sEm) LOU'IS APPELT, Judge of Probate C. C. Notice of appeal was given by counsel for contestants.

About half pa:st twelve o'clock this morn in- fire broke out at Epperson's stables, and spread over the whole place before it was found out. 'Iie ahirm was sounded and the lire and hook and ladder companlies ire sponded promptly, but before they could get thcir enuines to the scene the fire had g'incd such headway that it was impossible to cheek it. The loss as far as can be ascer tained is as follows: Epperson's stablvs and feed w.reihouse, party covered by insur auce, entirely destroyed, together with six teen head of horses and mules. Mir. Elperson' loss in the way of stock amounttd to about ten er twelve h a-i of tine horses and mulks, the rt uainder belonged to outside larties as follows: Mr. Thos. E. Richardson. one mare and buggy. Mr. Darbv, a railroad man, one horseand buggy. Dr. J. J. llossard, one mnare. Messrs. Ingrain and Bowman, one horse and b iggy. Southern express horse and wagon. T:iree or four horses destroyed, the prop erty of parties, whose names we could not ascertain. Mr. J. D. Craig lost his large furniture warehouse in the rear of his store. Covered by inurance, the contents nearly saved. Gen. Moise lost cne or two outbuildings near the stables. A drover had nineteen head of stock in a shed to the rear of the stables, which were released by a colored woman, who broke the door in with an axe. Her name is Sylvia Malinda. She should b, placed on record for her bravery. Mr. Stack vho was sleeping in the office at the stables coa near losing his life by burning tin, o r falling around him. The priso ers in the jail opposite the scene became fr .tic and broke out of their cells, but were -ecured by the jailer. It is a sickening sight to the passer-by to see the cooked bodies of horses and to smell the odors that till tLe air.

Good Farming and Practical Kindness. Frank W. Thigpen, living 7 miles from Manning, has at an expense of $130, in cluding family expenses, feri'lizers, extra labor, ginning and baling cotton, made this year with one mule 16 bales cotton averag ing 500 pounds to the bale, 200 bus'tels corn, - and sufficient forage, besides pease, and a very fine yield of swedt potatoes. His in debtedness running from year to year, amounting to over $500, was promptly paid, I and when he had assurances that he had < settled in full, was heard to exclaim that he was a free man for ths first time in 40 years. Besides this he will have the net proceeds of over 4 bales cotton with which to opeiate v his farm next year. Moses Levi, his benefactor, appreciating his industrious habits, honesty of purpose, and strict attention to agricultural pursuits, sold him a tract of land coitaining over 400 7 acres, allowing him G years in equal annual instalnents at the usual rate of interest to liquidate the same.
