SHOOTING AT SILVER. A very sad tragedy occurred lasi Sunday night about two miles fron Silver at the home of Mr. Thomas K 'Rbame, in which Mr. Rhame lost his life and his brother Frank was wounded. The report that reached us lasi Monday morning was in effect as fol' lows: Mr. Ralph S. DesChamps was, by invitation, visiting the Rhame family Sunday evening, and speni the evening pleasantly with the ladies, laughing, talking, and singina hymns, in which the Rhame boys joined in; about seven 01 eight, o'clock he started tc go home, and was asked by Tom Rhame to remain longer, tc which DesChamps replied that it wai getting late and he must be gone. Tom went into the house and Des Champs requested one of the ladies to asist him with his overcoat, and while he was getting it on Rhame re turned, pistol in hand, and fired al DesChamps. Surprised at the attaci DesChamps dodged around the young lady who was assisting hiti with his coat, and returned the fire Rhame was struck twice out of the three times DesChatmps fired,. Rbatm fired once but missed his mark.

There does Dot seem to be any the cry for the action of Tom Rhame We do not vouch for this statemen1 being entirely accurate, but it is at we received it, and the courts will n< .doubt investigate the cause and wh< is to blame, etc. The affair is to be deplored.

There was a ghastly find at Davis Cross Roads last Friday evening in the store occupied by Mr. A. J. O'Neill, and belonging to Mr. Jeff M. Davis. On Friday morning Mr. Jeff Davis went to the store and knocked on the door. Receiving no response he asked a colored boy for Mr. O'Neill. The boy said that when Mr. O'Neill -tired Thursday night he re queste* that he not be disturbed early in the morning. The bcy was in the habit of waiting on Mr. O'Neill. Not expecting anything wrong within, Mr. Davis went off to spend the day with friends, and when he returned home that evening about dusk someone told him that nothing bad been seen of O'Neill and that he had not gotten up. This caused Mr. D:;is to go to the store, and not being able to receive a re sponse to his repeated rappings, he, accompanied with others forced an entrance, and there they they found the object of their search lying in his bed in a natural position, but cold in death. He was undressed and the covering partially over his face and head, as was his customary way of sleeping. His face was somewhat discolored, and the odor in the room indicated that the man had been dead for sev eral hours orobably from the night before. The deceased was about thirty nine years of age and unmarried. He had relatives in Charleston. Mr. Da vis telegraphed tc them and his brother, Mr. J. P. O'Neill, came in response. The body was so decomposed that it was concluded not to take it to the city, so they buried it in the St. Paul church yard on Saturday. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

Col lectively .ney c."itute a greater total length ;n miles than any :ther system. The extent of a single , an of one of the swing bridges is greater thaa that of any other bridge. ModernA bi dge con struction is embodied in a.d illustrated with a greater variety of perncted mechanical devices in Chicago thin is the ease in any other ci.y in the w rld. Standing out like monuments erected to engineering skill, to a people's enter prise, and to mechanical perfeqaon, th~se bridges present a greater variety of admirable features and are evidences of better workmanship than can be founnd in the best of all the cities in either the old or the new world. Chicago has 68 bridges spanning the river and its branches at every point where commerce and traffic demand a passageway. There are 88 systems of viaducts, which bespeak as many safe guards for the people agi:inst the dan gers of railroad tranuorsation. Represented among these 68 bridges is to be found every description of swing or drawbridge which the world possess es today that is of practical value. They constitute within a radius of a few miles a congeries of mechanioal devices which captivate the spectator with their perfection and diversity of arrange ments.-Chicago Inter Ocean. A Dog Makes Sunday Visits. A bright terrier dog owned at the American House, Pittsfield, Mass., is known at the Maplewood as Billy. The dog every Sunday morning goes to the Maplewood and stays in the cashier's office, but never goes away from the American on other days unless taken to the Maplewood. Sundays, as regularly as that day comes, in the season, the ani mal takes up his early march for the other house, remains all day and re turns. This he has done for the past few seasons, and so regularly that the guests at the Maplewood have become familiar with him and his peculiarities. Now they are asking how the dog knows the difference between Sunday and other days, as his visits are made before the church bells begin to ring.-Boston Herald. ________ Noise and Numbers. A Yankee, upon eating his first meal of frogs' legs, asked the hotel proprietor how he accounted for the high price. He was told it was on account of the scarcity of the product. "Not at all," said the Yankee. "I can get you 1,000,000."L "A million?" gasped the boniface. "I should like to engage to find you a profitable market if you can produce them. " "Why, I can get them today surely." At night the Yank came back with eight pairs and declared the trick off. "I thought you said you knew where you could get 1,000,000," said boniface. t'Well, to tell you the truth," explained the other, "I formed my judg ment of the number by the noise."-San Francisco Argonaut. A reculiiar Feeling. The sensation of homesickness has -been variously described, but never more graphically than by a little girl who, miles away from home and main lma, sat heavy eyed and silent at a hotel table. "Aren't you hungry, dear?" asked her aunt, with whom she was traveling. "No." "Does your head ache?" "No." S"What is the matter?" The cGild's lip quivered, and she said in a tone to grieve the heart, "I'm so seasick for home. "-London Tit-Bits. Lost His Head. IWinks-I tell you, there is something rabout the possession of sovereign power that gives a man confidence. History shows that all monarchs have been calm and self poised.

BROGDON JOTTINGS. Brogdon, Dec. 31.-While we d( not claim to be the least bit angelic you must admit that in one particu lar we do resemble angels-our visit t(, you of late, through the column. of the paper, have been "few and fai between." Would let you hear fron us more frequently, but lack items o interest. Just at this time, when we stant ready to bid adiue to the old year never to greet it again until the fina day, when the secrets of all heartE shall be made known and we shal be required to give an account of ou actions during 1896, and as we are about to enter upon the new year with its many bright hopes and an ticipations, we are dreadfully in clined to be sentimental, but as the Herald already has one or two of that class of correspondents, we will restrain and retain our sentimentali ty until another time and occasion. Well, Christmas has come and gone. To some of us quite unevent ful, while others had a lively time. 1r. and Mrs. J. I. Brogdon, both proverbial for their great-hearted hospitality, entertained very hand somely on Christmas day and night about thirty-five guests. Their son, Mr. Eddie Brogdon, was at home from Florence, and Miss Addie from the Sumter Institute, for the holidays, bringing with her two young school friends from Virginia, Mlisses Gilkison and MIcPheeters. The Christmas tree at Graham church on Christmas eve night was largely attended and much enjoyed by all present. The thee was of gen erous proportions and bore a number of nice presents, which gladdened many hearts. We were told of one juvenile who sat quite near, and at every down-pour of gifts would beg for more, more, still more. That lit tle fellow certainly possesses the requisite qualities to get on in the world. Expect to hear from him again some day. Our schools closed for the holidav on last Thursday. Misses Holley man and Richardson, the teachers, are enjoyi ng their season of rest. liss R. is visiting in Sumter, while MIiss H. remains in the neighbor hood visiting friends. Miss Madge Stukes, Messrs Hun ter White and William Wilder are back from their studies at Orange burg, for a while; also Cadet Darby White from Clemson, accompanied by a fellow-student, Mr. Pickering. Mrs. -Estelle Plowden and daugh ter, Gertrude, are here from Georgia; also Mr. Freddie Jones from Dudley, Fairfield County. This community can boast. of twc happy married couples: M1. Willie Davis and Miss Lillie Hodcge, record ed a few weeks ago, and Welnesday 23rd, Mr. Joel Davis brozg~ut home hisbride, who previous t,> marriage was Mis Bernice Rtobinson, o Spring Hill. -^Our wish is that The: may all live long, and be goodland happy. Our widower seems more irresisti ble than ever; is still assidious in his attenations to the ladies, and we hope ere long to be able to announce his success in that direction. At this writing would not forget tc mention the flourishing store of Mr W. T. Brogdon. It certainly is e great convenience to the neighbor hood and profit to him. M-r. B. is just as polite, attentive, obliging and good looking, as any of your city merchants, so says a customer. Mr. Barrett, who was killed aboul three weeks ago, left no clue to hii relatives and friends except a feu Italian letters, which no one here i! able to read. Should any reader o this be capable of interpreting thes( letters, we would be glad to hea1 from them, as we would like to com municate with his family. Guess you would prefer our writ ing oftener and having less to say, s< "au revoir" for this time.-Now ai Tnzs, in Sumter Herald. Disposal of the Dead. In the practical application of his theories Moleschott animadverted on the prevailing customs of burying the dead in permanent cemeteries, where thenz bodies decay with no advantage and often with serious injury to the living. "If every place of burial," .he says, "after having been used a year, should be exchanged for a new one, it would become in the course of six or ten years a most fertile field which would do more honor to the dead than mounds and monuments." But, he adds, it would be still better it we could return to the ancient custom of burning the dead, which he declares to be unquestionably more practical as well as more poetical. By this process the air would be made richer in carbonic acid and ammonia, and the ashes, which contain the ele ments of new crops of cereals for the nurture of man and beast, would trans form our barren heaths into luxuriant plains. At present, he adds, we are act ing like the stupid and slothful servani who buried his one talent in the earth instead of wisely investing it so as t< gain another. -Popular Science Month A Tirginia Jus~tice Who Had a Grudg< Against Washington. A Washington man who had some business before one of the smaller courti in a Virginia county went down ther< on a recent Saturday to attend to it, He found the judge before whom th< matter came, and as it was a mierelj pro forma proceeding he had no antici pation of trouble in getting it dor When the matter was presented. judge said: "No, sah.
