McKissick, who has been local editor of the Union Times, has been promoted to a position on the staff of the Charleston News and Courier. One year yesterday since the big earthquake. There have been slight shocks all around during the past few days, but no serious shocks. so far, reported. Jones,of Edgefield, has been grant ed bail in the sum of $10,000. We have not heard whether he has given the required bond or not. The indication now is that he will go unwhipt of justice. It would now be in order to invite President Cleveland to visit New berry on his Sc u, hern tour, and make his visit the occasion of the celebra. tion of our centennial. This, of course, on the supposition that he would stop in Newberry on his trip. Labor is honorable in all men, and it is a false public sentiment, if such does exist, that would drive' young men from a college, because some, -perchance, were in a department that required manual labor. The young man, or the old man for that matter, who does not encourage and com mend all who are willing to work in honorable employment, though it be manual labor, gives evidence of a shallow brain. Col. Edwards in his speech last Thursday defined the farmers' move ment to mean the betterment of the farmer, to incite him to take a greater interest and more pride in his pro. fession and to make a better citizen of him, to educate hiin and uplift him in 'every legitimate way. This certainly, with such lofty aims as here described, is a good movement, and worked with that end in view, is certainly a good thing. Col. Edwards thinks that one way to do this, and to accomplish the de. sired end is the establishment of an agricultural college.. --Messrs. Leitch and Marshall as stated last week, are conducting a series of meetings at Chappells. Large numbers attend these meetings -and good results saem to be accom plished. Some forty-three persons have joined the church, and the whole congregation goes up for prayer. Whether these results will be last. ing or whether all this is the result of the excitement and emotional, it is not for us to say, but certainly it does seem that his preaching inl Chap pells is accomplishing good, and that there is power in his sermons to reach the sinner. RESPONSIBILiTY OF RAIL ROADS. Senator Butler would change the Laws for the Protection of Pas. sengers. WASHINGTON, August 26.-Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is here for a few days. He is still an admirer of President Cleveland, and spent over an hour at the White House to-day. He thinks both Cleveland and Blaine will be renominated and Cleveland will be re-elected- Senator Butler intends to offer an amendment to the Inter-State commerce bill, for the protection of railroad travellers. In an interview to day he said there were several causes for the recent raiilroad accidents. "In the first place," he remarked, "there is too much red tape in the so called system mangement. The respon sible manazgement is too far removed from the' operations, and have not suffi cient familiarity with the employees or couditions. In the second place, the railroad companies, many of them, work their employees to death on in.ad equate pay. Some plan ought to be - deisedwhich would prevent any comn * pany~~rom working its employees more than twvelve hours consecutively. Some of them I learn run the engineers, fire men and conductors sixteen or seven teen hours consecutively without inter mission for resting. Human nature can't staud it. The result is the poor man goes to sleep on duty, and when an accident occurs is made the scapegoat. -. It is inhuman and wrong, and the rail road authorities ought to be held to a stricter accountabiliz y." "-- What remedy would you suggest ?" "I have not thought of one. I op - posed and votedl againit the Inter-State commerce bill, because among other reasons I thought. and still think, Con gress has no jurisdiction. But if we are to have the law it might as well be made useful and of some benefit, and I am not sure if an amendment to that law might not be framed which would ac comiplish great good by simply making it a penal ofTence for any railroad conm pany to require-more than ten or twelve hours consecutive work from any- em ployees engatged in running trains. Too nmany lives are at stake to allow such parsimoniousness towards those or>era tives who have their lives in their keep ing. Of course -ailroad accidents are *- unavoidable in many cases." Senator Butler was very emphatic in the opinion that the Inter-State law should be so amended as to protect the travelling public against the reckless and careless management of the rail rads. "The Governmiet," he said, "reg uilates steamboat travel, pres-cribing how many passengers a vessel may carry and other regulations, and as long as we have the Inter-State law we might as well make it protect the passengers of Petitions have been circulated in Columbia and other places asking for the removal of Col. G. R. Talcot from the office of General Superin tendent of the C. & G. R. R., and the C. C. & A. R. R. It is rather a novel proceeding. and the charge is a heavy one. It is claimed that his occupancy of his present office is detrimental to the interests of the railroads and the business of the towns through which his roads pass. We suppose the charge will be inves tigated. SEIS311C SENSATIONS Three Distinct Tremors Felt in Orange burg-One Saturday 31orning and Two on Sunday, Afternoon and Night. ORANGEBURG, August 29.-An earth quake shock was felt here last night at 11.05. it was accompanied by the usual rumbling noise, which % as quite lengthy and loud. The shock was generally felt. Some people experienced a slight shock Sunday afternoon. The Saturday morn ing's shock was felt here, though quite lightly. COLUMBIA FEELS THE FULL FORCE OF THE SHOCK. COLUMRIA, August 29.- Columbia must have gotten the full benefit of the earthquake last night. Augusta reports the quake at 10.30, but it was felt here at 10.57 and was much heavier than the shock of Saturday morning. Houses shook and windows rattled to a decided degree. The trembling histed about ten seconds. THE SHOCK IN SUMTER. SUMTER, August 29.-A pronounced earthquake shock was felt here last night about a quarter of 11 o'clock. The rumbling sound was particularly heavy and the tremor very perceptible. A SMALL SHAKE AT CAMDEN. CAMDEN, Augu-t 29.-A loud roar with a small shake was experienced here last night about 11 o'clock. To-day is not so cloudy, but still cool. THE CITY OF MEXICO IN A QUIVER. CITY OF ,MEXICO VIA GALVESTON, August 29.-A brisk earthquake shock was experienced here about 7 o'clock this morning, agitating houses and mak ing the people dizzy. In some places people ran out of their houses and fell on their knees praying. The shock was not severe and was most felt in the out lying portions of the city. Mr. Thomas B. Connery. Secretary of the United States Legation, heard the shock at 6.45 o'clock, and about the same time it was felt severely at Castle Chapultepec, where President Diaz and his family are residing. Early morning risers on the Plaza de la Reform noted the shock as lasting some thirty seconds. Friends of Zun'ga, who predicted the shock for the 10th of this month, now claim that their prophet was not altogether destitute of knowledge of the coming earthquake. The weather is warm and very humid. ELSEWHERE IN MEXICO. CITY OF MEXICO VIA GALVESTON, August 29.-The direction of the earth quake felt here was from north to south and its duration was eight seconds. In the capital of the State of Guerro two arches of the Arcade in the main square were thrown down. The duration of the shock there was fifteen seconds and its direction was from north to south. Earthquake shocks were felt at Orizaba, Tlapa, and Otumba at 7 o'clock. FELT IN CHA ELESTON. CHARLESTON, S. C., Augnst.2.-Some ala* was caused here by the shock at five o'clock this evening. Very few per . pIe felt it, but there was eertainly a shake, which was severer at Summerville and Columbia than it was in Charleston. The alarm was not caused by the violence of the shake, but by the strange coinci dence that it occurred precisely on the same day and on the same hour that the preliminary shake which preceded the disastrous earthquake of August 311last. Beported Race War In Arkansas. .Little Rock Special of Friday. The most intense excitement prevails in Lonoke County over the war between the whites and blacks, which from pres ent appearances will not subside until the State militia is sent there. Yester day morning Clarence Chapman, a large plantation owner, was shot dead by a party of his black cotton pickers, be cause he would not give them double ay for last week's work. 'Twas very rainy last week, but Chapman insisted on adhering to his contract. His wife and mother, who rushed to the scene of the tragedy, were then riddled with bullets. Several whites, who live in the neighborhood, heard of the shooting, armed themselves and started out to in vesigate. When near Chapman's house, they were halted by a party of negroes, who opened fire upon them. Three of the whites were shot, two fatally, and the other badly. Four of the negroes were shot down. In the afternoon a large pa'ny of whites succeeded in ar resting a6~.ut a dozen negroes and lodg ing them in jail at Clear Lake. A con stantly increasing crowd of blacks were coming into Clear Lake during the evening with the avowed purpo-e to rescue the prisoners during the 9:ght. The whites were determined to resist the attempt and tied the prisow;es to posts in the jail yard, where they won.d be under cover of the rifles of the whiit.a, who were stationed in the surrounding houses. The report was current last night that a convict farm near Clay Lake had been attacked by the blacks, who murdered Lessee Williams and the prisoners. The Chapman farm build ings as well as those of several others of the whites were burned last night. She riff Hicky has been notified and is on his way to the scene of disturbance with a strong posse. ANOTHER BURNING BRIDGE. Cowardly Train Men Badly Injured--A Brave Engineer Escapes Unhurt. CAMBRIDGE, 0., August 29.-This morning as a freight train on thie Cleve land and Marietta Railroad neared Old ham's trestle, four miles north of Camn bridge, the bridge was seen to be on fire. The engineer called for brakes, but as the train men thought it was too late to save the train, several of them jumped off. Fireman Wmn. Adams had his leg broken and was ot herwise hurt. He may die~. The other jumping train men were severely injured. The en gine and all the train except three ears passed over the trestle, s'ixty feet of which fell with the last three cars, dropping theni forty-seven feet. Wade Hampton Taken for a Bear. From the Richmond State. Govertnor Lee said to-day, when asked about the hunting and fishing at Dag gers Spritngs, that it was very goodl, and then told how on one occasion he was up in the mountains with a party, Gen. Wade Hampton being one, looking after (leer. "We were aill dressed," said he. "in the rough fantastic hunting cos tumes of the period. No deer was seen, but by the stand occupied by one of the party there passed eighteen beautiful bare-footed mountain girls picking whor tleberries. The hunter saw them, and was about to invite thenm to take a seat on his stand when they caught sight of him. Whereupon .the leading beauty exclaimed: 'Great jiminy, gals. there's a bear,' and throwing down their buck ets they broke th'rough the bushes down the mountains like deers, and just about as wild." THE NEWBI BARTLETT'S CLEAN SWEEP. Further Developments in the Sum ter Bank Robbery. Special News and Courier. SUMTER, August 27.--Bartlett's bonds men through their counsel, Messrs. Earle & Purdy, Haynesworth & Cooper, and.Col. John J. Dargan, notified the bank officials this morning that a protest would be made against Receiver Phil lips's being allowed to take charge of affairs, on the ground that his appoint ment at this time is not !;nctioned by law. The bondsmen have also demand ed to be allowed to have a representa tive present during the investigation of the affairs of the bank. The officers in formed the bondsmen that they would have to wait and lay the matter before the receiver when he arrives. Mr. Phillips was expected to arrive this morning on the Atlantic Coast Line, but did not come. Col. Tate, the bank examiner, has stated that the defalca tion, so far as has been investigated, will cover all the capital and earnings of the bank, amounting to between $6J,000 and $70,000. It will be impossible for some time to arrive at the exact amount. All of the correspondents have to be heard from before it can be computed and this will require some time. Let ters are received by every mail which swell the amount of the liabilities. Col. Tate says he will complete the report to-night in all probability. He was at work last night until after midnight. This failure is doubtless one of the most extraordinary on record. The fact seems now to be patent that Bartlett took off everything that he could possibly make use of. A large package of notes, which Presi dent Wallace had endorsed and laid aside to be sent to New York to be re discounted, are missing, and thire is no doubt but what Bartlett made use of them. There are a number of other missing papers which he would have been obliged to forge the president's name to, and there is no doubt but what he did this. The report has gained cre dence through the country that great incon venience will be experienced here durin the fall in selling cotton, owing to the bank's embarrassment. Several mer chants and eotton buyers have requested me to state that this impression is tho roughly erroneous and that arrange ments have been made and trade will not in the least be affected by this ca lamity. Mr. Tate to-night firishes the fol lowing figures as the result of his inves. tigation of the assets of the bank and the amounts to Bartlett's credit: Notes due the bank.............$43,70C Cash in bank................. 1,800 Due from the sale of bends in Washington................... 2,00( Bartlett's check on Henry Clewes & Co , New York... ....... 2,70( Sumter Cotton Mills stock attach'd 500 Total....................$52,70( There are some other small amounts in the bank's favor, btt as there is nc certainty as to the sums the figures art not given. Eighty Thousand Dollars Short-Cap ital and Profits Gone. SUTER, August 30.-Col. Tate, the bank examiner, has finished his report on the condition of the bank, and wil: forward it to Comptroller Trenholm to night. Bartlett's defalcation amounts to $79,35:> 01. All the corresp)ondente of the bank have been heard from, an< this is a full andm correct st atement of thn defalcation. The capital of the bani, was $50,000, and the surplus and undi. vided profits about $11,000. It is thu: seen that Bartlett stole every cent thal tie bank was worth, and over $18,00( besides. Considering his opportunity Bartlett perpetrated undoubtedly the most stupendous bank steal on record and his system of robbery must hav< been a most ingenious one to have es caped detection so long. An express money package was re ceived this morning by the hank fron Henry Clews & Co., of New York, con taininig $2,700 07, the amount held b3 that house to Bartlett's credit.. There is in a desk in the batik a dr.v.e which Bartlett always used lor his pri vate ipapers. It is secured by a Yali lock, and cannot he opened without be ing broken. It wilr'probably be torce< to-morrow, and its contents may devel op something which will i.e of considera ble interest. Below is a full schedule o the property belonging to Bartlett which hmas been attached by Sheriff San ders. It'is impossible to arrive at thl exaet worth of the property until iti sold, so that the values attached to eacd item are merely approxia 'te : Seventeen shares Nation.. Bank stock and seventeen half shares Sumter Cotte,n Mills stock.. 853 04 Ten shares Building anm. Loan stock.................. 30 04 Check on Mercantile National Bank of New York city........12> 04 Household furniture ............ 125 04 Louisiana State Lottery tickets (cot $143)................. 000 04 Total....................$1,475 04 Bartlett ownued twenty-eight hal shares in the Sumter Cotton Mills. but the sheriff has been able to secnre on13 seventeen of them, it is supp)osed tha the others have been hypothecated The check on the Mercantile Bank wa received in the package with the lotter' tickets aind is supposed to have been winning Bartlett miade in the lottery The drawing in ihe lottery for whtici the batnk holds $144 worth of ticket: will take -place on September i3. I would be a strange freak of fate if the. were to drawv a sufficient amount tI make good Bartlett's defaicationi. Col. Wallace informs youtr corres pon dent that lie has made arrangemnents ti open a banking house here ill a fe.v days. iIe is now prepared to do an: col-eting or exchange business,- an< will be readly to mxake loains, &c., it about a week. The organization of a new bank is be ing disctussed by the business men of tihl town, anid the plan will take detiniti shape in a day or two. They realizi that the best way to inspire confidenc< in the public mind is to go right ahlat atn work hard to retrieve the loss Although the bank failure is a heav' blow to the town, the business mnen ar< by no means disheartened or in any wa.' dismayed. They have evet y con fidenci in the indomitable spirit and pluck o he people. As a matter of course al the stock will be a dead loss to tht holders andl they may in all probatbilit' be required to pay~ an assessment ont it Several of the largest stoekholders art ladies, wh~io hadl neariy all of their prop erty itnvested in the banik anid who wer< dependent on the itnterest for their liv ing. In these cases the loss will be par ticularly grievoue. Ten days ago 118 was refnsed for tht stock. A Threatened Exodus to Alaska. Globe-Demnocrat.

'V "RRY HERALD AND NEV MR. RANDALL ON THE GROUND. The Pennsylvania Democratic Con vention-An Interesting Fight. A. -TOWN, PA., Aug. 30.-It appears likely that the Democratic State Conven tion will meet to-morrow at noon, v'th a defnite settlement of the vexed question whether Mr. Randall -will be able to con trol its deliberations and adopt as a pai ty declaration on the tariff the resolutions adopted by the Chicago National Con vention in 1S"1, or whether Congressman Scott and Mr. Singerly, of the Philadel phia Record, will be able to commit the party to the more pronounced utterance of President Cleveland in favor of a refoi m of the tariff. All other issues have been for the moment cast aside while the battle royal upon this question has been waged by leaders and delegates. Mr. Randall was early on the ground' and this morning took possesion of rooms at the Hotel Allen. Ri SCtNDING A CONTRACT. Convicts on the Blackville and New berry Railroad Recalled by the Pen itentiary Authorities. AUGUSTA, Angust 29.-A merchant of Blackville, who is interested in the Blackville and Newberry Railroad, was in the city to-day, and had something to say about that railroad. He said that the information was received in Black ville yesterday that the contract for con vict labor on the road had been re scinded by the superintendent of the Penitentiary, and that in a day or two all the convicts would he recalled from under the present Blackville and New berry Railroad mana;ement. It was said that a ten days' notice to this effect was served upon the lessees of the road to-day a week ago. One of the directors of the road is re ported as having said that this rescision of the contract would operate very aversely on the lessees, and particularly at this time of year when free labor would be difficult to obtain, owing to the engagements of a great majority of the free laborers in the cotton fields. The merchant referred to also stated that there might possibly be a resis tance on the part of the lessees to the of der of the superinten dent of the Penitentiary on legal grounds, all of which would, however, depend on the terms of the contract. It is also reported that the convicts now at worh on the Blackville and New berry Railroad have been released to a railroad concern in Columbia. LADEN WITH TEA.

Narrow Escape of a Train. BLACKVILLE, August 30.-A timbe) cart belonging to Dr. Lartigue, loadie< with a heavy saw-log, was smashed t< pieces at the Walker stre.et crossing it this place by the mail train from Au usta this morning.
