A disgraceful riot occurred on Saturday '1 : night ahoot midnight, at the store of Zack ^Walker. Dave Summers, whoas reputation as a law abiding citizen is below par, while drunk |?ttenH>te?^o break np a game of pool which ? was go?ogon'm Walker's back roan. The police ialerfered and in ibe melee Dave, as? sisted by bi? brother Tom Summers, made a vigoro?? assault upon the guardians of the c^JjMr, kicking euc uniiJ he was insensible and j -.'faking bis {?stol frais him, and was only ??aprsrsd after a most desperate resistance. -Walker came near being dangerously hart by thSi pugnacious Dave, for all of which, it is jj **PJ probable that bis whiskey is responsi : ?

C., ?leosBitters gave arc great I t and backache. Deaths. Miss Lila Edmonds, daughter of Ker. N. W. Edmunds, who as our readers are aware, bas been. Ul for some time, died on the 6th i n stant,?ft Darlington County. Thefurnal ser? vices were conducted by the Rev. M?. Cozby, assisted by Rev. W. A. Gregg, at the Presby? terian Chorcb on last Saturday morning, and were attended by a large congregation of sympathising friends. Mrs. Wheeler, wife of Mr. C. 0. Wheeler of Maysville, died from consumption on last Tuesday morning, after a long and painful illness. She leaves a husband and eight chil? dren to grieve for a fond wife and loving mother. Turkey Creek. We congrato late our town on the thorough drainage of Turkey Creek. Oar older citi? zens can Well remember when the eastern part of Sumter was not near so healthy as it might be, all of which is now changed, thanks to the energy of some of oar officials, and more especially Col. J. D. Graham. Bedevivus. Mr. Miles Moran bas obtained consent of 'Council to bis placing a frame house tempo? rarily upon the site of bis burnt store and it will shortly be ready for occupation. In the meantime be has opened in the store adjoin? ing Mr. Monaghan's until bis own is ready. Mr. Moran purposes building four brick stores iu the burnt district, so brick mee can look out. Fine Cotton. Mr. Bland Kellett, sen of Dr. Mellett of j Raf ton Creek, left a. etalk of cotton io our office a few days ago which is a remarkable specimen of vigor?os growth. It was plant? ed in aa oat field after the oats were cut, and came up oa the 7th of Jone. It has twenty grown borts and ten or twelve smaller ones, which, doubtless, would mature and make cotton before frost. The moral of the above is, tbat late cotton sometimes pays. In fact, judging from the thrifty appearance of tbis specimen, late cotton did not suffer from drouth as much as that planted earlier. Burned to Death. Mrs. Sallie Hatfield, who lived near Brad? ford ;Springs, was fatally burned on last Tuesday night, as is supposed by the explo? sion of a lamp. The following, as well as we can gather, are the main facts : Mrs. Hatfield had retired after exiingnishing the lamp placed near her bed- Her husband, W. J. Hatfield, who either was in the room at the time, or came in soon after, relit the lamp and sat down near the window to bathe Ms band in water, it having been sprained or hort in some way. After Mrs. Hatfield dropped to sleep the lamp exploded and set fire to ber clothing, when Hatfield, throwing some water over her, carried cut two small children who were sleeping io snottier bed and, it is said, be? came too excited to do anything for his wife, whose clothing WAS burned off and body completely charred. She lived till next morning, and strange to say, suffered bot ; little pain, till death* took her away. She j leaves a number of children, some of whom are grown and married, bot others are small and helpless. lier funeral was preached on Thursday at Pisgah Chard? by Rev. J. J. Myers. Charleston's Mayoralty. The Nae* and Courier last week printed a call signed by 2,700 voters, asking Mayor Courtenay to consent to be a candi before the City Democratic Convention for the Mayoralty. Mr. Courtenay, in his reply, expresses grati? tude that the administration of which he is the head should moe*, the commendation of bis fellow citizens, and while it was his in? tention, as his friends knew, to retire from pnbiic life at the close of the present term, he does not think that he can conscientiously refuse to accede to the request of so large a number of the influential men of Charleston, and will therefore be a candidate foe renomi? nation. FROM PBOVIDENCE. ANOTHER GIB* ACCIDENT. Weare informed by a note from Mr. J. R. Phillips, who lives near Providence, of an? other "gin accident." When will our people learn to be careful in trespassing upon the rights of a gin when running ? Mayo Binds, who is Mr. Phillips' gicner, an experienced, competent man, while picking up some lo^se cotton from under tbe gin, was caught by the saw and badly cut on his hand and arm. His strength and presence of mind, together with the promptness of the engineer in stop? ping the engine, probably saved his life. Dr. Wallace thinks his wo a ods not serious. That neighborhood was visited by a slight hail last Thursday, and, in common with tbe rest of County, bad some much-needed rain. jBishopviHe Items. Rev. and Mts. W. A. Gregg, have returned home after a pleasant visit to Glenn Spiugs. Miss Annie, daughter of Mr. H. A. James, has left for Greenville to attend the Female College at that place. Heavy run attended with wind and some bail fell last Wednesday. Considerable dam? age was done to open cotton. Mr. and Mrs. Duff Barrett lost an', infant child last week. It was buried Wednesday afternoon. An Innocent Girl Duped? DUMFORD, S.C., SETT. 1, 1?83. Some time during the early part bf the summer, there came to this place one Augus? tus Stephens to work in the turpentinelbusi ne-s of D. D. Kelly & Bro. Ile passedIhim self off as a single man and claimed tblt be had never been married ; began pay i ni his attentions to Miss Della V. Stokes, daufcter of J. W. Stokes, who lives in the upper inart of this County, aod on the 26th of July, last, they were married by Rev. Keozie Mazilgo. There being a rumor tbat the said Stepleng bad been married and bad a wife livinf Robeson County, X. C., from whence he ?d, a gentleman of this place wrote to Register of Deeds for Robeson County to sertain if such was the case, and in reply :eived the following : OFFICE OF REGISTER OF DEEDS LtJMBBBTON, V. C., Aug. 13, 1883. MR. B. B. L.-Dear Sir : I find on my >rd8, April 30th, 1878, the name of Augi lus Stephens to M illy Chance; married S. 0. Atkinson. J. P., May 5, 1878 ; wi lesses, J. B.

Editors : Altbongh we have giv the above caption in the plural, yet we wi to make but a comment or two, cpon but o of each, sincerely trusting that the featui which comennder onr notice will never aga appall the senses of reputable citizens, there be any special calamity with which 1 have been visited as the outgrowth of the li war it is the horrible decadence in (he ma ners and morals of those whose chaste ej once reflected naught but sweet images purity and grace, bat now alas ! their bo stare, roistering behavior and swashing 01 side, daily despoil our graceful youths-t pride of their father's hearts and their mot er's joy-of their pristine innocence and t very aroma of a beauteous manhood. Al Messrs. Editors, could our ancestry of ev? bal fa century ago, rise from the dead, wi what shame and. indignation woold th? look upon their degenerate offspring ? Whe are the manners of the olden times ? In co trast to the stately style of the past, when S Charles Grandisoo would bow with court] grace over the end of a lady's finger, ar Miss Harriet Byron in response to bis, "Ye do me honor, madam I" would say, "You d more honor to your heart, My Lord !'r Loo upon that picture, now on this! We attended a ?'sociable," some days ag< in our county where we were witness to ti following. Three sprightly damsels wit their attendants, the latter, no doubt inst gated by their charming companions, filled tb role of roystering blades! So far from hold ing their gallants "at the fingers end," cac of these gay maidens would form a cen tr piece, escorting a couple of the opposite se with clasped bands, and with an arm of eac drawn fondly to her side, moving at no gen tl pace but with rapid bounds from hall t piazzia with eager steps. But alas 1 tbes "mad-cap frolics" did not sate these ardent earnest female spirits, ("Be they spirit c health or goblins d-d?) the swinging mo tion must be perfected. Two of these delight ful sirens seatingthemselves closely within narrow swing, lured a gentle lover to sit ec throned upon a common knee ; and so as th swing moved rushingly tbrongh the air, the; might crown tbis "sociable" by "getting 01 a breeze." These girls. Messrs. Editors were not children-their ages ranged from. 1: to 20 years-these should have been th grand expression of female loveliness ani grace; these should have been the nobI< types of the large-hearted, high-principled women of our contioentel days and of late times. God be thanked t oar community cai yet exhibit many noble example* of the latte: class, but in the name of Heaven ! if a les; j tolerant public sentiment is not at ono aroused to such exhibitions of female era pressment, "to what base uses shall we com? atlast." An old lady of the "ancient re gime" observed, "what a pity that the swinf ; does not break and so fracture their limbs ! !" The youth enthroned was alas ! a sweet-facec boy, looking built for far nobler things. W< trust that be did not fancy that he was en? vied, and that a nobler ambition may dawe upon his soul. And now, Messrs. Editors, J appeal to you for aid, and to your most noble I conferes ! A more potent evil is at your verj I door than those.which vex our body politic. The horrible contagion is spreading with j frightful rapidity. Where but a few years ? ago you would ouly see one fast woman in \ our community, yon will find six. Remand ! our gentlewomen, ye journalists of the j South, back to order, to decency, to pure and ! stately womanhood. Come fathers ! moth ers ! sons and daughters! draw aroood you a cordon firm and inflexible against the dread contagion. With an unfliching brow and nerves of steel, quell the road disorder. C. N. B.-it is superflous ^to add, Messrs. Editors, that some of the figures which we have attempted to portray in the "sociable," figured in bas-relief at a "protracted meeting" a lew days previous, regaling themselves after a Bacchanalian fashion, in the face of grave solemnities, no doubt endorsing the following sentiment. "The generous trine brings joy divine And beauty charms our souls, I, while I live will ever give, 'Beauty and the bowl.' " Lien Law. The Lien aud Homestead laws have entailed cjore direct evil and misfortune npon the inhabitants of Sooth Carolina since the war tbau any thing that could possibly effect them. Mankind, as a mass, require to be under stringent mles. Give them, the benefit of a wrong, and they will take advantage of it. Credit, instead of proving a bless? ing to roany of oar planters, is a corse. They strain their resources in ao co? lin, i ted manner, and soon find them? selves irretrievably ia debt. The con? fidence that existed among business meo before the war is now sadly wanted. To what are we to attribute this to, un? less to the pernicious tendencies of the lien law. We quote from the Camden Journal : In 1881, when disaster came over our entire country by reason of a fearful and unprecedented drought, it was urged by the advocates of this ruinous and un? fortunate law that, at that time, it was impracticable to repeal it, as it would work seri?os hardships upon most of oar suffering people. Crops were fine everywhere, and the husbandman re? joiced in the follness of bis garners. The old argument could not hold loug er, bot the fertile brain of the advocates of the law were ready still to cliog with tenacity to its remaining upon the statutes, and were successful in their efforts, so that to-day they still have it in full force, beuefitting no one, but hurting all. The time is getting near at hand when our law makers will again assem? ble, and this important question oiust again come before them. It should DOW be agitated and brought so promi? nently before them that in the next ca5i:paigo it will be a question, 'Did you, or did you not vote to repeal the lien law ?' The many and various evils existing against- this law have been so freqoently told that, it seems like run? ning over the same old ground too often. Its demoralization of labor, its tendency to corrupt the populace, the manner in which it subjects us to extortionate sud ruinous prices, have all been told a thousand times, and this is not half of the evils resulting from it. -Florence Time*. ---~-mamtm>- *mmmm Mahone and Chalmers must feel hurt when the New York Times assures Col. Cash that he subjects himself to suspi? cion by being in such company -Au. gustar Chronicle. It is now announced that Mahone, Cash, Longstreet aud Chalmers are going to liberalize the Bourbon South, j Think of Cash toting South Carolina about in his pocket alongside of his lit? tle pistol.-Anderson Journal. Col. E. B.C. Cash, of this State, ought to return from his conference witlr Mahone with a thankful heart. He is the first cash ever seen again after being in contact with tho Virginia boss. Greenmlle News. George Gorham complains that the editor p? the New York Times, having advised Cash to cut loose from Mabone and Chalmers, will probably repeat the same advice to M. & C. as to Cash., . The New York Cimes w'U probably wind np by warning the whole trio against George C. Gorham. i -* '". i The complicated diseases brought on bj intense study, thought, care anxiety, etc., are often of the most serious nature. Heed such symptoms fts loss of memory, universal lassitude, heart disease, kidney complaints, liver troubles and a general breaking down of health and strength. When thus afflicted, when the least exertion causes great fatigue, when life seems a burden, use the reliable strengthening tonic, Brown's Iron Bitters. It will afford you sure relief.

DKNNABD, Perry, Ga. The Daniel Pratt Gin Co., of Prattville, Ala., have made arrangements with Mr. R. F. Hoyt of this place to sell their celebrated Gins, Feeders and Condensers in Sumter.

I tried every thing mau could advise to cure it, but all in vain, and was aboot to give it up when a friend of raine in this city came to me and recommended Ken? dall's Spavin Cure, which I tried with grand results, removing that bone clear and denn. Then I sent 25 cents to you for one of your il? lustrated horse books, and I think there is no better book printed on the horse and his diseases.

Kendall & Co., Gents :-I think it my duty to render you my thanks for ben? efits and profits which I have derived from j your invaluable and far fame of Spavin Cure. My cousin and I had a valuable stallion, worth $400 which had a very bad spavin and was pronounced by four eminent veterinary surgeons, beyond any cure, and that the horse was" done forever. As a last resort I ad? vised my cousin to try a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cure. It had a magical effect, the third bottle cured it and the horse is as well as ever.

CHARLESTON , S. C., July 22, 1883. Dr. B. J Kendall & Co., Dear^Sirs :-I pur? chased at Louisville, Ky., a very fine bred colt, and in shipping he got his hock badly hurt on the outside of the joint which caused it to swell three or four times the natural size, which made him very lame. I tried a great many liniments which failed to benefit j the injured part. At last when disgusted, and ready to give up the colt as ruined, I happened to seeyoor advertisement of "Ken? dall's Blister and Spavin Cure," and tho.ight L would give it a trial, I first applied the "Blister" to the bock which by this time had become calloused, and to my surprise found it work like a charm. In twenty four hours thc part that was hard became toft and the laroeless began to leave. I then got some of "Kendall's Spavin Cure" and applied it ac according to directions , which has made a perfect cure, and the colt is now as sound a3 any horse alive. I merely write this letter to you, ns I think it a duty I owe to you, and also for the good of the public at large. The foregoing statement I will make affi? davit to, and can also have the same verified by the best horsemen in our city who saw the before and after treatment.
