He was engaged in raising a corn pan j for t?be man?facture of sulphur from latitw! Georgia minerals, at the time of bis death. A Battle at the State House. A difficulty occurred OD Saturday morning, between the Secretary of| State, Coi. J. N. lipscomb, and J. P. Tho?*?, Jr., Private Secretary to Gov. Cc4. Lipscomb, who, it Deems is st?fi- sairecoDci?ed to thc unfavorable comments made opon his action io re moving a su bord i nate official from his office, tome months ago, objected to .erne remarks made by. Mr. Thomas shoat a fricad, who was mainly instru meatal io bringing the above named dis? missal to the notice of the press. After come words Col. Lipscomb .traci Mr. Thomas, and a free fight fcOowed, leaving oar Secretary with a Wry Gaitered physiognomy. Colored Convention. of a portion of the colon i ot the Town was held last night, fer the parp?se of eeeariog foods to pay the expenses of a delegate to the National Odored Convention, to "be add io Louisville. Io consequence of the refusai of the School Trustees to a?ow any meetings, except for educa? tional porposes, to be beld io the School Bouse, the Convention met at j the A. M E- Parsonage. We are informed thai after the legit mate work waa done, the meeting was toraed into a political pow-wow, io which mach noisy discussion ensued oo the subject of the County Chairman? ship *od kindled topics. A member of that congregation asks aa to protest against this ose of the par? sonage, and suggests that some of the poetic balls io town would be more suit? able for such purposes than the church parsonage ; ia all of which we folly agree. Good Advice. The Kew Era pablished in Charles? ton, ia commenting upon , the Colored National Convention, which is to meet at Louisville at an early day. says; "If Jf.^gTfcSSSg'conduit for the opinions of of Pre&ft&atial aspirants how j ftf ifc wiB-faH abfert of iotelligeot * * *\ The vista is bright with presage io its favor * Tilt merely express political sentiment it wilr^be4ike the baseless fabric of a vision. The negro jxd bet? ter lei politics alone, and address him? self to other matters, far more vital to bis and his future." The Ne? Era h right. Political agitation among colored people is kept ' ap bj their worst coemies and only for selfish purposes. Not until the negro can stand alone, politically speaking, and dispense with tbe leadership of corrupt and vicious mea, whose dictum is their only reason for voting in favor of one measure or against another, will their political atti? tude command or deserve any respect whatever. Capt. Jonas Phillips Levy Capt. Jonas Phillips Levy, whose ancestors emigrated to New York City from England io 1650, and who was the youngest son of Major M. P. Levy, died at his residence, No. 108 East Fortieth-street, yesterday morning. The cause of hts death was paralysis of tbe heart. He was born io Philadel? phia Jan. 14, 1807. For many years be was a Captain in the merchant marine and the owner of West ludia dippers. He was one of the Americans, although theo bot a boy, who on July 4, 1824, escorted Geo. Lafayette on board the ship Cadmao, about to sail from France to this country. This was OD tbe occasion of Lafayette's last trip to tbe United States. Io the following November be rescued Geo. Lafayette from the sinking steamer Olive Branch oo the Mississippi River. In recogni? tion of that service Geo. Lafayette presented bim with his signet Hog. In 1834 the Peruvian Government pre? sented him with the freedom of the coun? try for his services to the republic.

We assure our friends, that the papers always go to the Post Office ; and we think that a careful search there will general? ly succeed in producing them. Non-sub? scribers who take papers out of the office for friends, will confer a favor by delivering tbem to tbe owner, as soon as possible after read? ing, though we would much prefer their com? ing to this office first, when they could have a paper of their own. We generally have a few copies left which we will be glad to use in supplying our sub? scribers who are cheated of their right. Mr. Thomas Drayton bas favored us with a lot of fine potatoes. They are well grown, but the wonderful thing about them is the fact (Tom says it is a fact) that they were nourished by no other moisture, than the sweat of his brow, which fell in such profuse abundance that these large potatoes were the result. We bragged on some late cotton last week, I from Rafting Creek, but we have seen some ! since that time, of the same age, which was ! rauch finer. Planters would do well to plant ! a late as well as an early crop. - mm i ? - I We would call attention to the advertise . meat of the South Carolina University, which ! may be found in another column. Several of i our young men are attending it and we are ! glad to believe that it will soon become, as I it was before The war, an educational institu j lion second to none in literary training. Messrs. Bnltman k Bro., in their advertise I ment, tell of a new departure which all are I expected to read. * Mr. William Yeadon bas accepted a position : with Messrs. Bultman & Bro., and of course, bas developed a longing desire to see his friends properly shod. Mr. R. F. Hoyt bas on band, at Ellis' Sta? ble, a fine lot cf Tennessee Wagoos, which be offers for sale cheap. The Bank Mr. Tuomey informs ns that the subscrip? tion list for the Sumter Bank is still growing. The directors will met next week, at wbicb time Mr. Wallace, will be present. We think the Sumter bank is a fixed fact. Nodding. One of our nice young men, who belongs to the S. L. I., and who paraded with the Company at the inspection on last Wednes? day, also attending the Promenade Concert in tbe evening, went to the Depot, to meet a friend on the 12 o'clock train. His horse was somewhat skittish and while waiting for the train, drove ont into the old field beyond the Depot, where be would have elbow room in case of a stampede. The soothing memo? ries of the party be had just left put bim and his horse both to sleep, and he awaked just in time to hear "all aboard," and see the train he was awaiting pull out from the De? pot. His friend had gone without him and his long vigil was in vain, except for one use? ful piece of information, viz : that his horse will not run away from the train-if he can get him to sleep. - 11 - Married, at tbe residence of the bride's mother, in Yorkville, on Wednesday after? noon, the 5th instant, by Rev.

The express agent at Rock Hill bas received instructions to deliver no more whiskey **C. O.

The County board of equalization of Georgetown has fixed the following standards of valuation for personal pro? perty : Work horses and mules, $100 ; cattle, ?6 to $8 per head ; yokes of ox? en, ?25 ; single oxen ?15. Since the decision of Solicitor Gaston that an Express Company is liable to prosecution for delivering whiskey in a dry town C. O. D. the big trade tbe Charlotte liquor dealers had along the linc of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au? gusta Railroad has almost entirely ceased. James Massey, colored, of Spartan burg county, was killed in Greenville last Saturday night, it is alleged, by j Tom Good, also colored. The quarrel which led to the fatal altercation arose from a dispute over a jug of stolen whiskey. The rifle shooting contest between the military teams of Charleston and Savannah on Thursday was won by Sa? vannah by 34 points. It was the most exciting match that ever took place in the South. At Kingstree, S. C., a colored youth was shot in the head by another boy while jokiugly snapping an old pistol at him. After several triais the pistol went off. aud the boy is dangerously wounded. General H. L. Hunt, commanding the Department of the South, was plac? ed upon the retired list of the army Fri? day, having reached the age of 64 years, and was instructed to turn over his command to General Hancock, who will assume command temporarily. Heart affections, kidney and liver troubles affect nearly one-half of all mankind. Yet how many heedlessly pass through a shorten? ed life giving no care to these complaints which cause the human family such great dis? tress. Does your heart beat violently from the least excitement? Hare you fits of dizzi? ness? Does your back ache ? Are your bow? els constipated? These symptoms are the first warnings. Delay is dan cero ns. Be wise in time. Regain perfect health by using Brown's Iron Bitters. fFor tbe Watch man and Sou throe, j Crop Failures-Church Buildings Falling from Grace. WEDGEFIELD, Sept. 12, 1883. Mr. Editor : The garden spot of the State is in mourning. The crops in this vicinity are very poor, though up to some time in July we had the finest prospect erer known, and the farmers were counting strong on from one to two hales of cotton per acre. We have come down now to one bale on two acres, and the faces of oar farmers hare lengthened accordingly, for they know they mast soon appear in Charleston, to render an account of their stewardship and I fear few can say "Masters here is thy pound" which I have buried in the ground and dug up. Why, Sir, some of our bachelor farmers who have been trying to pass oft"for twenty years old in flash times, now look to befull sixty. Our mer? chants are growing grey, crusty and crabbed and all because they have too many goods. One man suffers because he has too much, another fellow groans because he has too lit? tle. We sincerely hope the masters wont take away our little and gire unto them who hare too mach. I went to Wedgefield yesterday and met one of my friends who is geuerally a lively, jolly fellow. His tare was lo jg-he was silent and a big tear stood in his eye. I ventured after awhile to inquire if bis wife was dead. He answered in most mournful tones, no-but ginning has gone down co one dollar per bale The ladies-dear, good, souls ; they want more these bard times than ever before-two of them called yesterday to know if they ought to buy lights for the Presbyterian church at twenty or thirty dollars. My own secret opinion was that twenty cents invest? ed in candles was quite sufficient, but as is natural before the ladies, we must talk big, so I said thirty dollar lights by all means. The Presbyterian Church is completed, nicely carpeted and furnished, bat one thing they lack, and that is a preacher, reminding one of the boy who told his father he must have a breast-pin, he didn't earea darn about shoes. It is rumored that the Methodists are going to convert their Church into a barn and rent the Presbyterian Church, since they are the only denomination out of the three who have a preacher-the Baptist church being in? complete, except the steeple which is finished. I believe both the Presbyterians and Baptists have pretty generally come to the conclusion that when crops fail it is possible for the elect to fall from grace, seeing these old Deacons, Eldersaud Class-leaders will "cuss" justas quick as any "sinner man," the only dif? ference being when they do it, they turn all around with a kind of sneak dog look to see if any body heard them. Old JSolos has been giving ns a good stiff blow for the last two days, causing us to lay aside our linen breaches and stand shivering with our last winter patches in hand wonder? ing what we will do.

Great Consternation at Mathewson s Hotel, Westminster, S, C.-A life Saved! It ii now his Vade Mecinn Mr. H. C. Enninger of the firm of Erminger & Goldsmith, large Candy manufacturers At? lanta Ga., cheerfully and gratefully gives us the following wonderful facts : I reached Westminster August the 19th., that night I was seized with a violent attack of Cholera Morbus. Fifteen actions on the bowels occurred in less than four hours. The pains kept on increasing and the actions on my bowels were more frequent. The usual remedies. Paregoric, Jamaica Ginger, <kc. were promptly, vigorously and persistently used, but without avail. The symptoms were growing worse and these remedies were more than useless. By a lucky and happy thought Norman's Neutralizing Cordial was procured and one dose, in a few minutes, brought marked relief and fonr or five more effected a complete cure. Before I began the usc of this medicine, I was in the greatest agony, my bowels unchecked, and I was so completely exhausted as scarcely to be able te speak above a whisper. The relief was so sudden aud so complete, that I could hardly realize it, and 1 knew no hounds to the expression, of my gratitude for the remedy that saved me from impending death. 1 now feel, I am doing a service to my fellow-men in letting them know its merits that they also may have its aid in time of their danger. Tbe traveling salesman of the Wholesale Grocery firm of A. C. Wyly, Atlanta, Ga., Mr. Matthewson the Hotel proprietor, and others will cheerful! v testify to the above facts. Truly and gratefully yours, H. C. ERM ING ER.
