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.

Suniter Sells Goods Cheap,
The Levi Brothers, of Sumter, are
offering great inducements to the peo
ple to make their purchases with them
during the holiday season. They are
daily receiving all sorts of attractive
goods, to catch the eye of the pur
chasing public. For the next thirty
days these young men will have their
goods marked down at surprisingly
low figures, and they propose to sell
them in order to unload their im
mense stock before the first of Janu
ary.
They want the people to know that
their stock was never more complete,
and if a lady wants a nice dress, or a
gentleman a nice suit of clothes, it
will be to their interest to call on them
before buying elsewhere.
The people of Clarendon are cor
diallv invited to call and examine
the Immense stock of these gentle
men, and see for themselves whether
the Levi Brothers can be undersold
by any other house.

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.

Mr. Mitch Levi has given out the plans
for a fine residence to be built on Liberty
street adjoining the lot of Mr. Ferdinand

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.

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

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. Moise has commenced his
new residence in the northern portion of
the city near his old home. The. building

The Wells Will Case.
A soniewhamt interesting case came on tc
be heard in the court house last Tlhursday
before the judge of probtte. 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:

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,

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.

Sixteen Horses Burned in Suim'er.
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. The loss falls
heavily on Mr. Epperson, as he lost some
very fiue stock, together with most of his re
hicles.-Sionter Advance, Noc. 22d.

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

liquidate the same. This is iagnaninmons

CATARRIl CAN'T B3E CURED
I with local applications, as they cannot reach
the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a bloo.I
or constitutional disease, and in order to
core it von have to take internal remedies.
Hall's catarrh cure is taken iniernally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Rall's catarrh cure is no quack med
icine. It was prescribed by one of' the best
physicians in this country for years, and is
a regular prescriptioni. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined with the
best blood puritiers, acting directly on the

THE SUN
FOR 1891.
Some people agree with the Sun's o pinion
about men andt things, and some people
dont; but everybody likes to get hold of
the newspaper which is never dull ad nev
er afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years
the Sun has fought in the front line for
American principles, never wavering or
weakening in its loyalty to the true inter
csts of the party it serves with fearless in
telligence and disinterested vigor. At
times opinions have differed as to the best
means of accomplishing the common pur
pose; it is not the Sun's fault if it has seen
further into the millstone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-one will be
agreat yerin American politics, and ev
erybody should read the Sun.
