as 4 said committee at their

V ie office of the Clerk and
Re ister is a model of neatness

nis n“d with modern indexes,
lex •ographically arranged,

ma gins, so thatthe public mav
fin any recorded paper with
nin h more facility.
1 ue Auditor greatly needs ad
dle mal slier ft room and cases
for papers and blanks, as there
an boxes of papers not only un
sic tly and unbusiness-like, but
practically inaccessible. When
new cases are to be put in, the
modern metalic cases will prove
the cheaper in the end, to say
nothing about their being dust

It is repectivelly requested
that a copy of this report be

the State, at Columbia, to be by
him submited to the General

A PERPETUAL CALENDER.
The Ingenious Invention of Mr. See. H.
McGee Now on the Market.
Our readers will remember
seeing in The News sometime
ago a description of the perpet
ual calender which Mr. Geo.
H. McKee has invented and pa
tented. The calender is now on
the market. Mr. McKee, to-
« ether with Messrs Geo. B.
towle and A. 8 Harrell, of this
county, have formed a company
for the purpose of manufactur
ing and selling the calendar.
The company is called ^“Nov
elty Manufacturing Company”
j and its offices are over Welling
& Bonnoit's store. The calen
dars are made of natural brass
and nickel. Messrs Smith &
Egge.of Bridgeport,Conn., man
ufacture them, but all the too's
necessary for the work, which
are very costly and about one
hundred and fifty in number,
are the property, of the com
pany.
One of the first offers received
for the sale of the calendar is
from the elevated railroad com
panies in New York, which de
sire to sell them at their stations
throughout the city. The cal
endars are being manufactured
as fait as possible and, as soon
us a sufficient number are made
to warrant it, a corps of agents,
whose services have already
been secured, will canvass the
United States. The first lot
have been received and are now
on sale in Darlington. The
neatness, durability ard, above
all, the great usefulness of the
calendar will ensure a ready
sale.
OFF FOR THE PENITENTIARY.

IN SELF DEFENSE.
A Bad Negro Fatally Shot by a Young
White Boy.
Sumter, S. C., Nov. 17.—
Lawrence Washington, the ne-
( fro who was shot on Monday
>y Wm. Reames, died to-day.
The tragedy took place on the
line between Sumter and Claren
don counties. The particulars
of the affray are as follows :
Young Reams, while out hunt
ing, was met by Washington,
who demanded that Reames
should hand over his gun.
This Reames emphatically re
fused to do ; whereupon Wash
ington picked up a stick of
wood and said he would force
him to do so. Reames retreat
ed for about one hundred yards.
The negro continued to follow,
in a hostile manner. About
this time they had come where
Reames’s mother was standing,
but instead of desisting, the ne
gro continued to demand, with
abusive language, the surrender
of the gun. Reames says that at
this instant he was afraid Wash
ington was going to hit him
with the club that he still held,
and for this reason he fired.
The gun was loaded with squir
rel shot, and the whole load took
effect in the negro’s head.
Washington was a negro of
tremendous frame and a very
turbulent disposition. Reames,
on the other hand, is quiet small
physically and a very quiet hoy.
Reames was in town to-day,
and will give himself up on his
return to Manning.
"THE STATES GREATEST HERO.”
Hampton Spoken of for the Office of In-
ter.State CommerceCommissioner.
[The State.)
The Augusta Evening Herald,
in an article on Wade Hamp-
1 ton’s Sumter speech, calls him
; “the State’s greatest hero” and
j adds : “Though Gen. Hampton
says that his life work is done,
we venture to disagree with him.
! His last days may be his best,
and they may he spent in the
r service of his country. He will
! survive in the memory of after
ages as one of the most heroic
of South Carolinians. He has
advanced and illustrated his an
cestry. There will come to his
South Carolina brethren ‘the
late remorse of love.’ Though
he has sought and seeks no
office, the new President could
do no more graceful act than to
bestow a worthy position upon
him unsought.” The Spartan
burg Herald says, regarding
the suggestion by The State of
his name for Inter-State Cor -
merce Commissioner, “t'ie
whole State would feel gratified
at the selection should Presi
dent Cleveland recognize the
qualities which render this dis
tinguished Carolinian especially
fitted for this important office.”
What do our other contempora
ries say of The State's nomina
tion?
THE MYSTERV UNRAVELED.
A &***+ Mftft Dlriae* tb«
RiH»on of a T; * mviulon* Blockade.
“What iaitT'
“Who i» hortf’
“Anybody been rtin over?"
“I* it a man in a fit':"
High above tho oeaaeletii rumble and
roar of traffic rose human voice* in anx-
ion* inquiry, and the dense throng at the
intenertion of H'ate and Madison street*
grew denser still. It waa just before
sunset, and the mighty heart of Chi
cago’s business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours of another day of toil, and the
hurrying homeward of restless, eager
thonsands. Die swiftly moving streams
of humanity that are wont to meet in
eddying whirls in this dizxy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each in its destined coarse, had sudden
ly become blocked and chaoa reigned.
Pushed toward ihe common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car
riages and in street cars, and unable to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd in the street* and on the ride-
walks overflowed into alleys and surged
hither and yon like the resistless ebb
and flow of a mi} hty sea.
A policeman on the outskirts of th*
dense throng climbed a l&mppoat, and
from his elevates, position surveyed the
scene.
“Give him air,” he shouted sternly,
waving his clnb. “Give him air!"
“What’s the matter?" inquired a hun
dred voices as he climbed down.
“I don’t know," heanswered, and with
gloomy, lowerini brow he strutted up
the street, disai peared down a short
flight of stairs, fiom which a few mo
ments later he emerged, wiping his
month, and in tl;e same stern, nncora-
promising way ho walked a block far
ther and sent in i. fire alarm.
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madisrn grew every moment
more appalling and inextricable.
Something mnrt be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through
the crowd, a newspaper reporter at last
was seen bearing down toward the cen
ter of the compa. t mass. His hat was
off, his hair flying in the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, bnt with set teeth
and dilated nos rils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who 0[ poeed his progress.
Reaching the c mter of the throng be
seized two indivii unis by their arms, and
in the same resolute, fearless way opened
a passage for thim to the ontaide, and,
as if by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved: the conv rging streams of hu
manity whirled and eddied as before,
and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again.
The reporter h id conjectured rightly.
The blockade wa < caused by two women
who hail met in the exact center of the
street and stopped to tell each other the
troubles they w* re having with their
hired girls.—Chii ago Tribune.
“Very” with a Verb.
“Pleased,” in the expression “very
pleased,” is nothing more than the past
participle passive of “please” need as an
adjective. “Very,” so far as I am
aware, is never used with any other part
of a verb, and then only when that part
has become adjective by usage. Die
following quotation from Pope's “Dun-
ciad” shows its use as an adjective:
Thou trinmpb’st, Victor of the high wrought
day.
And the pleas'd dame, soft smiling, lead's!
away.
A similar nse of the word is when we
say a person’s face has “a pleased ex
pression.” This being the case it is as
correct to say “very pleased” as to say
“very much pleased.” Annandale’s "Im
perial Dictionary.” subject “Very,” has:
“Among old writers very was fre
quently used alone to modify a past
participle, and it is still to some extent
so used; thus, Sir W. Jones has ‘very
concerned;’ Gibbon, ‘very unqualified;'
Sydney Smith, ‘very altered,’etc.”
As there is no verb unqualify, un
qualified can be i othing else bnt an ad
jective, and concerned and altered come
under the same p.irt of speech. When
we say, “I am very pleased,” there is no
action implied, but there is simply a
description of tl.e state or condition in
which one is at the time of speaking.—
F. C. Birkbeek Terry in Notes and
Queries.
Her Rule of Life.
Mrs. Little wa.: a woman greatly re
spected in the litt le neighborhood where
she lived. Her .’ritnds and neighbors
often spoke of h< r knowledge of Bible
teachings, and fi w were the occasions
when she did not remind theg* of her
attainments by s< me Iqit quotation.
“How is it, Mrs Little,” asked a neigh
bor one day, “that yon can always re
member some suitable quotation for
everything that happens?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” responded the
good woman with a pleased smile, "un
less ’tis because I always act on what 1
say. Now, whenever I see folks provoked
I jest associate it with ‘Let not the son
go down upon your wrath.’
“I’ve always acted on that myself. 1
made it a rule when 1 was yonng never
to let the son go t own when I was mad.
And so it is wit i other things, and 1
•'pose that’s one reason I remember.”—
Yonth’s Companion.
A Sit,; Memory.
They talked of home and family mat
ters, baby's new lothes, papa's trip on
the road and man: mil's visit to her moth
er, while every one listened in a most in
teresting manner. The trend of the
conversation showed that the wife and
baby were not g >ing to the depot with
the happy father, ;is he declared it would
be nonsense. Bm as the car neared Jef
ferson street, wl ere he was to leave
them, every one wondered all to himself
how they would part and whether he
would kiss her in front of the crowd.
They were not long in doubt
When Desplaincs street waa reached
the drummer arose, caught up hi* baby
and kissing it goodby placed it beside
it* mother. He stooped down to kiss
hi* wife, and the loving woman placed
an arm about his neck as she said,
“Now you’ll write often, won’t you?”
Just then a morose individual on the op
posite side of the ear, who hail evidently
been absorlied in his paper, glanced over
the top of it and remarked in the dried
of tones, “I lost a watch doin that."—

An Idea of flenven.
On one occasion the leader of talk
started the subject of the generally pre
vailing ideas about heaven. After the
nsnal hit at the materialistic views of
the Mohammeda i, he turned to an
American gentleman at the table and
asked what were bis notions on the sub
ject? The Yankee, with hi* slow,
nasal accent and cool manner com
manding attention, replied, “Waal my
notion of heaven is that of a qniet,
