' j -- - Deaths. Mr?. A. W. Brown, a lady of most estima- ! ble character and dear Iv beloved by a large ; - eitel* of friends, after a lingering, illness of i a?rerai month?, died on last Wednesday! night at ll o'clock. /Her end came os peace- j fully and was not unexpected. On Friday j ?%' morn?og a brief funeral service was held at i fethe residence by her pastor. Mr. Brown, and j ber remains were brought for burial to the j ^Cemetery at- Sumter. Mrs. Brown was the : ""^-daughter of James A. Fullwood, who remov- I ed from this State to Texas, some years ?go. j She leaves a husband and three sweet children j to mourn her loss, to whom we extend our profoundest sympathy and condolence. Mrs. Mary Zewell, whose familiar face hos | long been seen in our midst, departed this j life at an earl r hour on Saturday morning; last. She had endeared herself to a number j of ?or citizens by her uniform kindness in; sickness, and was proverbially kind to those I who suffered within her reach. She was j "buried in the Cemetery at the Baptist Church j ?A Sunday morning, Rev. Mr. Edwards con- j darting the service on account of the sickness ! of the pastor of the Church. ' Mr. Henry Ellison of the firm of H. & W. I Ellison, died at Stateborg on the 20th Aug. j ja the 67th year of his ?ge.

Mrev.M>B*D?nnelly of Arredondo, Fla. " rmsfi't Neotratizing Cordial is a FIEE. Destruction of Stores and Dwel? lings. After a long respite from the fire-fiend, our Town was visited by a severe conflagra? tion on last Friday morning, commencing at half-past two o'clock, in the Store of Mr. Myles Moran. The cause as yet is entirely unknown, ' lt burned rapidly, and soon his store, barns stables, and dwelling were wrap? ped in flames. It crossed Harvin street and destroyed the Haynsworth house occupied by Mr. Joe McGuinnis, and also burned the house jn rear of Mr. Moran's dwelling, belonging to Mr. Monaghan and occupied by Mr. T. M. DeLorme. It worked its way westward ly from Moran's until it reached the brick Store of Mr. A. A. Solomons, where it stop? ped after consuming a large frame warehouse attached to his store. Mri Moran was the heaviest loser. His dwelling, two stores, stock of goods, the larger part of his furniture and clothing, fences, corn, fodder, oats, wood, &c, were lost. He saved his horses with considerable difficulty,'and at one time bad despaired of saving his fine black mare, but through the help of others finally succeeded. His losses which amount to $25,000 or $30,000 is part? ly covered by insurance. Mr. Solomons had bis store badly injured, and it is supposed that the entire end will have to be torn down and rebuilt. He had a large amount of groceries and hard-ware in his warehouse, part which was saved. Bis loss is at present unknown. The Haynsworth house wa3 entirely des? troyed. Insurance $1,500, but worth conside? rably more. Monaghan's house, valued at $1,500; in? surance $1,000. Miss Jane Webb lost two stores, valued at $2,000, insurance $800. Katy Green lost her restaurant outfit, as well as?one payment on house, amounting in all to ?200. D. Morris and Bro., O'Donnell and Co., and A. Moses, lost respectively $500, $1,000 and ? $500, in goods, which had been stored in the i burnt district. j Mr; Feeney saved a few hundred dollars' t worth of his goods ; but lost about $750 j worth. He had no insnrauce. He was Dot I aroused until the fire was near to his store, 1 and was sleeping soundly until some of his r friends awoke him. j Mrs. Hurst lost about $350, upon which j there was no insurance, j The fire damaged the buildings on the I opposite side of the street, and several of them, j Mr. Cusick's especially, caught fire a number lof ?mes. Much furniture '.vas moved from j adjacent houses, and considerable loss re I suited therefrom, Mr. Hood being damaged j to the amount of several hundred dollars, i j and others also losing quite a large amount, j ! Dr. Garanany was among the losers. Of i ' the contends ot his drug store he lost about ; I $300. The Baptist Church -rame near being | j burned : it was on fire once and only the per- j I sistent efforts of those who bad stationed I themselves on top, saved it. The fire wells had hut little water ia them, j but it was all utilized and TO the best ad van- j tage. The Companies ail worked wei!, the firemen standing at their posts uuttl their I helmets were burned to a crisp. Sumter owes I a large debt tb ber firemen, both white and colored, especially to the colored, who always, j by luck or pluck, get to a fire first and do' yeomau's work while there.. We suppose the total loss will approximate j $40,000 and perhaps more. The consequential j damages resulting from moving formiere, and | the many little losses, sc hard to itemize, will j ?dd largely to the estimated damages. The ! insurance on the above is about $27,000. We mast congratulate the ladies whose j houses and properly were destroyed or en- | dangered, upon their bravery and enerby. Some of them developed into first class fire? men, and on several occasions their presence ; of mind and determination averted a much : more extens^e fire. . Kew Cotton. ?

GREENVILLE, August 25.-Chancel? lor Janies Parson Carroll died yester? day afc Caesar's Head and his body reached here this morning, and was transported to Columbia to-day for in? terment under the'cbarge of Col E. M. i Seabrook, clerk of thc United States j District Court, who wa9 his nt-ar friend land kinsman. The cause of Judge t Carroll's death was erysipelas, which j resulted frocu the bite of a spider, i About a week ago he was walking in j the woods about the famous mountain j peak, and his face came in contact with i a spider web. which was suspended in j j the open air between two trees. The spider alighting on his chin, near the | under lip, Chancellor Carroll brushed j it off with his hand, but was bitten by j it in the meantime. He was faithfully j j atteuded in his illness by Dr. F. A. j j 3Iiles, but after a week's sufferiog the \ ! distinguished Carolinian breathed his j la&t. He was about seventy-five years 'old.

Serious Charges Against the Hunt- ! er s of Illicit Distilleries 'Deputy Collector Ensor is the chaw- j piou 'masher" of -the Piedmont Belt. ! Last week he destroyed 1,000 gallons ! cf mash and beer in Pickens County.' ] -Carolina Spartan. I We have been informed by a gentle? man who visited the place where the '1,0 .'0 gallons of mash anti beer' is j said to have been destroyed, the day j after thc raid, that there was. he j thought, about a half bushel of meal, ! which had been 'stirred up' with water, j at the place, and that was all that he j could see. It is also said that the same j still had been 'smashed' several times ! ! before. It is charged, but whether j truly or not, we do not know, that i some of thc revenue officers make a j business of hiring parties to put up old j j stills in certain localities, with a little I meal 'stirred UD' in au old tub or two, i ! and then they go and 'smash* them and j get the reward of ?50 from the govern-1 meut for their work. We were told by a truthful gentle man the other day that a man, whose ? name he did not give us, told hin? that j he had been paid by the revenue officers j j ten dollars for putting up*onc of these j ? old stills, which they (the revenue of- ! I Seers) afterwards captured. It is said i 1 that the stills titus captured are 'bat- j tered about' a little and thrown aside to i be put up somewhere else and captured . ; agaiu. ; The government pays n reward of i $50, we believe, for every illicit distil- j lery destroyed, and it is freely charged in tiiis section, (not alone by Democrats j and sympathizers with the 'Moonshin- ! ! er?,") that the practice of putting up j these sham stills by tte revenue officers j and then capturing them and drawing j the reward from Uncle Sam, has been j quito common for some time past, and j that hardly any of thc stills captured j lately have been really engaged in illi- j cit work. Personally wo know noth- j ing about these charges, but they have : readied us from several sources and we j feel it a duty wc owe to the public, and ! to the government, to give them publi- j city The revenue officials operating in this j section for i he last year or two have j generally performed their unpleasant j duty in a very kind and gentlemanly j manner, and we hear of no complaints on this account. But it is nlike due the government and the accused that an investigation of these charges should be made. If thc government is being systematically robbed by the men ap- j pointed and paid to look after her in- ? j terest she should know it, and the gui!- j ty parties should he punished to the full j estent of the law. Upon the other j j hand, if the officers charged arc inno- j ; cent, they should be exonerated and set ? j right with the government and before j I the public. We hope i bo proper autho- \ \ pities will order a thorough investiga- j I tion of thc charges and let us know the ! j facts. j Thc Greenville News says that it is . ! understood that Deputy Collector Ensor ? i partly endorses the statements made in i j the above article and has suspected for ! i some time that, there was some such ras- ! I cality ou hand. He will probably make , I things exceedingly lively for somebody | j dercctly.-Pickens Sentinel. AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED. j WASHINGTON, August. 25.-Thc ! I Commissioner of Internal Revenue to- ! j day instructed Revenue Agent Powell, j I at Raleigh, N. C., to investigate the j i report that several revenue officers in i ? the upper part of South Carolina have j ! been swindling the government by j j hiring persons to put up old stills in re- j I mote places and then capture the mate- i j rial in the night time and obtain thc j government reward of fifty dollars for j each seizure, and also that the game j material is then put up ia another part I of the State and seized again. lois alleged that only a few stills captured in the Mountains of South Carolina have really been used for illicity distill-| ing.

Ia response to a letter of inquiry from a member of the To wo Council of Yorkville the Solicitor of this circuit j has addressed to the Mayor of that town the following communication : CHESTER, S.

The Louisville Exposition, j LOUISVILLE, August 23.-Tho South ! ern Exposition has been open just three J weeks, and the records show that in j that time one hundred thousand per I sons entered thc building, and this does j not include attaches. The number of I visitors is six or seven times greater i than those at Atlanta for a correspond !:ing period. They come from all s?c* I lions of the country, but the . South is most largely represented. Eastern and i Northern people are apparently reserv? ing their visits until colder weather in their own sections will make toe South? ern climate more inviting. The at tractioos are-all in good shape now, and visitors are surprised and delighted with the immensity of the display. The hotels are full of people and thc city is alive with sight-seeing strangers. Hold on to Your Cotton Seed. Cottou seed will bo worth something next winter, an the Columbia Cotton seed Oil Mill offers to pay lG?t cents per bushel of SOibs, and their value as maxiere is beginning tobe ap? preciated by the farmers. They are worth at least 1*2? cents a bushel on the farm, and there aro plenty of per? sons willing to give that price for them delivered here. Farmers should not sell nor allow their tenats to sell a bushel of cotton seed made on their land. They should be returned to the soil through the compost heap, and iu that way they are worth to the farmer much more than the money he could get for them. - Union Times. --4ffmmm The Proof!-Here it is.
