: T?38SDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. Tl? Stouter Watchman was founded ^?1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron BOW has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and iii manifestly the best advertising medium in Sumter.

Webster Jones, the Chicago t physician who has given op a practice worth ?80.000 a year for another mau'b wife and eloped with her to Australia, V: ii a grandson of Noah Webster, the lexicographer. . It is understood that Mr. Tennyson has obeyed the Queen's command to immortalise the virtues of the late John j Brews in verse, and was made the re* j ?taient of unusual royal hospitality wheo he personally delivered the eulogy to ber Majesty. ? Great sacco? has been achieved dor . ing the past year in restoring the levee system of Louisiana to a high state of ! efficiency. The embankments resisted the great floods of last year better than even the most sanguine could have ex? pected. Pittsburg bas settled for the riots of 1877. paying $2.780,538 as its share of the damage. Of this $1,693,495 waa for injury to railroad property, $279.460 for personal property, $455? 406 for freight and $259,887 for special freight. Pittsburg doesn't want any mara mobs. Some newspapers have ?tated that drop letter postage will be two cents after 1st October. We suppose they aura been led into this error from the mei that aastage on drop letters is two ?eats to free delivery offices where car? riers are employed. Postage on drop letters will remain as before, one cent. "The fire in the Hotel Vendome, io j Jtetoa, shows what may be done in the j way of making such a building fire proof. The fire occurred on the top S: floor and burned there fiercely, bot it j was confined to that floor alone, and j most of the guests'knew nothing of the disaster until the nest- morning. Intendant Wigfall says : If it takes $1,000 of the town's money, the praettee of selling whiskey- on Sunday .Ball be stopped, and the town ordi? nance forbidding such sale shall be strictly enforced." Good for our new intendant. He can be counted on to do as oe says. He has the thanks of sit the good citizens of Aiken.-Jour? nal and Remeto. Eva Britton, the yoong girl who has beea going around the country canvass? ing for a paper supposed to exist iu Charleston and knowo as the 'Horn- ? cane/ has been arrested in New Orleans j for obtaining money under false pre- ; reeces. Eva has travelled all over the | country taking sohseriptions - at fifty j .eats a year for the Hurricane, and has j probably secured 20,000 subscribers in ] the last ten years, but none of them { have ever seen the Hurricane. A colored mao named William Cor- j doa, of Pickeos, recently exhibited a sewing machine at the store of Lipscomb & Bussell which was made almost com? pletely of wood. The shuttle and Beedie were the only portions made of metal. A garment was successfully j made anon the machiee in a few min- j utes. But how much time and inge- j unity were misapplied.-Greenville j News. The stockholders of thc Georgetown j and North Carolina Narrow Guage Kail- j road recently held a meetiug io George- ! town, with Mr. David Risley in the j chair and Mr. R. ?. Fraser acticg as j Secretary. The Company was organized j by the ?lection of the following board of j Directors : J. D. Blandi??, of Sumter ; I David Bisely;L. S. Enrich ; J. D j P-escott, of Boston ; R. A. Johnson, of j Boston ; Geo. C. Morrell, Boston ; j Jas. McCotcheo, Williambury. Mr. J. D. Blanding was elected President and Mr. Geo. C. Morrell, Treasurer, with Mr. R. E. Fraser as assistant Treasurer. Oo Mooday night about midnight the j 10th inst., Prof. Swift, director of the j Warner Observatory,?Rochester, N. Y., ! discovered another comet in the same j co?ete! la ti OD with the one recently j found by Prof. Brooks. It is moving j almost directly toward the earth, and ; hence shows very little motion, so that i Prof. Swift foned it difficult to verify J ead was unable to do so until last Sa-1 turday night. The two comets I will very likely to cross each other's orbits tn their progress, and. thew ap- j pearanee so nearly together,, and with- ; in so short a space of time- is a most j singular, if not a significant fact. Requisitions noon the Postoffice De- j partment by postmasters for the new two cent stamps are so large that the j contractors are unable to supply the de? mand, and the Department consequent- i ly ia reducing the amounts ea lied for io ; tue requisitions. The contractors at ? present are able to furnish one and a j naff million stamps daily, bot this is ' mash less than the number demanded. . I D?ring the early part of the present month the Department distributed a large number of the old two cent stamps among the smaller postoffices, yet it is believed that with the utmost exertions of the Department fully one-third of the postoffices of the country will not have an adequate supply of stamps upon the date wheo the law providing for the new letter rate goes into operation. The Department officials, however, do not j fear any serious obstruction of business on that account, as the offices lacking supplies will be of the smallest grade, where postmasters, have failed to for? ward their requisitions in season. f.u our last issue we published a short account of the difficulty between Coi. Lipscombaod Mr. Thomas The fol? lowing from thex Greenville News bears upon the same question. N. G. Gon? zales, correspoodeot of the Nervs and Courier, hearing on Saturday night that the origin of the Lipscomb Thomas difficulty was a peculiarly insulting re? mark about himself made by Col. Lips? comb, determined to personally confront and denounce him. Governor Thomp? son bearing a rumor to this ef? fect, and fearing bloodshed, swore out a peace warrant against Mr. Gonzales who was arrested in bed Monday morning. Be demauded au examina lion at whieh the Governor and assis? tant Attor&ey General expressed the be? lief that bloodshed would result from a meeting. Justice Marshall, despite Mr.Gonzales* protest bound him over to keep the peace against Col. Lipscomb for a year and a day. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. We notice that most of the State Press condemn the schedule of freight rates as agreed upon by the Commis? sion. We do not, as yet, join in the chorus of adverse criticism, for it does not seem possible that the Commission would deliberately (they have been vtry deliberate in their work) arrange a schedule of rates, that would lay heavier ! burdens upon our people than they had ! borne before. In our opinion the Com? mission was uceded, and was appointed, not so much for the purpose of reducing freight charges, as of equalizing them. The discrimination in favor of some places to the injury of others was emi? nently unfair ; competition would reduce freights at some stations so low as to yield scarcely any return, and therefore high charges were made at places where DO competing Hoes rao, and the most important part of the work intrusted to the Commission, was a red notion of these inequalities and the establishment j of proportionate rates to sll parts of the 'State. stations have bad their rates largely reduced, aud unless the roads were making more than they legiti- j mately should, it was necessary to allow them to increase the charges at the more favored places. The Com? mission was wise enough to know that if the schedule adopted by it should be so low as to cause a loss to the roads, it would be detrimental to the State. Our prosperity depends in a great measure opon our roads, and while we believe j the State should see that their charges j are not exhorbitant, she should also see j that they are not so low as to fail to j yield a reasonable interest OD money j invested. Corporations have no souls, but they j have some rights we should respect, if ? for no other reason, tbau for our own j welfare, and ? fair attitude on the part j of the State towards the roads, would j be more apt to provoke a just return j from them than the reverse. We think the length of time taken ! by the Commission in formulating its ! schedule is more open to criticism than ; the schedule itself, but the sickness and \ death of one of its members, and, possi- j bly other hindrances of which nothing j is known, may be satisfactory reasons ; for the delay. But the rates have been adopted at last, and eveu the wisest i cannot tell the result until an actual j trial. The rates established by thc j Commission are not necessarily the j ooes that will bc adopted by the roads. CODI peting lines may compel, in many j cases much lower rates and possibly ail j of os may find, that, after a fair trial of the* new schedule, DO oue is hurt and many benefited. - - *?. -- The Camden Poisoning. An analysis of the Camden ice cream j by Prof. Cbazal, State Chemist, was di- j rected especially toward ascertaining i whether there was arsenic or antimony j in it, and the result showed that it coo- i tamed no trace of either poison. Furth er analysis will probably show the ? character of the poison, which must j DOW be believed to have been developed by negligence or ignorance and not by intention. The cause of the delay io j making the preliminary analysis was that Mr. Chazal had to send North for j the chemicals to be used io it aud had afterwards to test such chemicals to as? certain if they were good. We publish the above, as some of oar readers have expressed surprise at the delay of the report. The chemist found it necessary to test the chemicals themselves, before proceeding with the analysis, all of which required time. We would suggest to our impatient Camden contemporary, that patience is a Divine virtue which it should endea? vor to cultivate, for it has been espe? cially anxious to hear from Prof. Chazal, as to the result of the analysis. - HIM - The State Press Association. We have received the minutes of the eighth and ninth annual sessions of the State Press Association, (1882-83.) That organization has fifty members at present, with T. B. Crews of the Laureusville Herald as President ; A. S Tood of thc Anderson Journal, Sec? retary ; and Hugh Wilson of the Abbe ville Press and Banner, Treasurer. Jas. A. Hoyt of the Baptist Courier and W. W. Thompson of the Caroli? nian are orators elect for tbe next meeting Choice of place for next meeting Was left with the Executive Committee. ! Many THE LYNCHING AT PISGAH. We have seen quite a number of ac ? counts of the lynching, in the upper ! part of the Sumter, which took place j last Wednesday, nearly all of which ! contain misstatements, j The facts, as far as weean glean them, ! are as follows : The negro was a black, j thick set mau, without coat or shoes. : He was a stranger in the neighborhood, but had been seen for some days, loaf? ing about the river plantations. After his capture by Mr. Budd, he was taken charge of by a number of citizens of the neighborhood, who investigated the matter, and finding the proof of his , guilt positive, took him out 'into the woods and shot him. There was no .'cutting into mincemeat," no "beating ? to a jelly," or auy of the other sensa? tional tales, told by our imaginative contemporaries. An account of his crime and capture may be found in a communication in another column. Give Credit. Always give the proper credit and thereby make your news trustworthy. We published an item some time ago, mentioning the fact that Mr. R. G. Hud? son , who was a native of Sumter County, had been elected a Circuit Judge in Texas, and that he was the youngest Judge on the bench. The Marion In? dex copied it without giving credit, thus creating the impression that Mr. Hud? son was from Marion iustead of Sumter, as is evident from the following, cut I from the Spartanburg Herald : "ll. G. Hudson, who had just been elected a circuit Judge in Texas, is 24 years old and the youngest Judge on the bench. He is from Marion county, this State, and a nephew of Mr. J. W. j Hodson, of that county." The Bellmonte Cottou Factory at j Sumter, South Carolina, although a ! small mill and not half filled with ma? chinery is turning off as much yam to the spindle as any mill in the State. The factory has employed 37 hands, has a capital stock of ?40,300, consumes annually 375.000 pounds of cotton and produces 350,000 pounds of yarn. The mill now has 1,984 spindles and is run entirely by steam. Tue first year of its operation a dividend of 3 percent, was declared to the stockholders, and there seems to be no doubt that the mill would pay handsomely if the needed capital to fill the building with machin I ery could be raised. The above is going the rounds of the .press, and as our readers are interested in the Factory's progress we give it a place in our eolumus. President Arthur may be a very great man and an exceedingly good Pres? ident, but he gets an occasional slap from his side of the house which would make an ordinary man see stars. The following is from the Neto Era : Speaking of the return of the Presi- j dent and his party, from their western | tour, it was remarked, that 'he is con- j siderably sunburnt.' Might that not be a mistake? Isn't ita deepened blush which has mantled his pursy, cheeks, at finding how ineffably contemptible j was his western junketing, Gov. Thompson and the Orphans. [ The Thornwell Orphanage has for j nine years past been doing its good work of educating boys and girls and fitting them for usefulness iu life. It is located in the rural village of Clinton, ; on the Laurens Railway, a town given j over to the sway of education, religion j and temperance. The Orphanage was begun in 1875 on a small scale with only 32 orphans j and ?two ladies in charge of them. It j now cares for over 40 children and 5 \ teachers and officers. The expense of! maintenance has been about. ?70 a year j for board (for 12 months), clothing, school privileges and books, and ma? tron's care, medical attention, &c. This money comes in as the Lord puts it into j the heart of thc charitable to give it. After 18 months of labor, a large j and handsome building, the Orphans' j Seminary has been brought to comple- j tion. The opening ceremonies of the j school for orphans in this new house, ! will take place on the evening of the 1st ? of October. Gov. Thompson, honored j as the leader of the advanced educa- i tiona! movement in our state, has cou- ! sented to deliver the address on that occasion. The public are cordially in? vited to be present. - T?- .<>?- WIM The Postmaster-General is still fighting lotteries. He has again check? mated the Louisiana Lottery Company by forbidding tbe Postmaster at New Orleans to deliver registered letters or pay postal orders to the New Orleans National Bank through which the Lot? tery receives its mail. The President of the New Orleans National Bauk, agaiust which Post? master General Gresham's recent order in relation to the lottery company's mail matter was directed, has had an j interview with the Secretary of the Treasury on the subject. Secretary Folger told hin? that the question of the delivery of mail matter to the bank was one over which he had no direct control, that being a matter under the jurisdiction of the postofficedepartment. The only question, he said, which he (Secretary Folger) had to decide was whether the action of the bank in be? coming the agent, of the lottery company to receive its mail was a proper subject for investigation by the Treasury De 1 part ment. A Corning Comet, j PHELPS, N. ir., Sept. 23.-The new j Brooks comet is now demonstrated to bc the long expected comet of 1812. It has been carefully observed by the discoverer at the Red House observa? tory Prof. Brooks' observations last night show a remarkable increase in j the brilliancy of the comet since its dis j covery. It is now visible in *:ood tele j scopes of moderate aperture near Eta : Draconic. It is rapid y approaching ! the earth and sun and will bo visible to j thc naked eye before Christmas.

On last Wednesday morning, two young white girls, one twelve and the other fourteen ? years of age, were walking along the road ! leading from this place to Swift Creek Church, j and at a point nearly opposite Boykin's saw mill, were met by a negro who made an as I sault upon the older girl. She struggled I with all her might, but was easily over? powered. During the scuffle the younger ! one, while trywg to help her friend, received an ugly cut in her back near the shoulder, and ran off to a house near by. She soon returned with assistance when it was found that Mr. Budd had come up in his turpentine wagon and frightened the ravisher away. The neighborhood was aroused and searching parties were soon scouring the woods for the desperado, who was found by Mr. Budd some three or four hours later, on the same road, three miles nearer Smithville. He attempted to resist arrest, but Mr. Budd having one of his hands with him, had no trouble in se? curing the prisoner. Ile wns laken to the cross roads at Pisgah, and positively iden? tified by his victim and the girl who was with her. His knife was still wet with blood, and there was not a shadow of doubt but that he was the guilty man. He was an entire stranger to all present, and seemed quite un? concerned, though it was evident to him that his life was hanging by a brittle thread. A hearty meal was eaten with evident relish, and about dark he was taken out and shot dead. Next morning, the body was found by some hands, and J. H. McLeod, Esq., being notified, empanelled a jury, which met and held an inquest that afternoon. The verdict was to the effect that the deceased, who was unknown, came to his death from gun shot j wounds, at the hands of parties unknown. J He was buried where he died. Another I proof of the determination of our people that nothing but death, swift and sudden, can condone such a crime. The wretch was stoically indifferent to his fate, and only con? fessed in the mee of certain death. The crime was committed on a very public road, , and within a few hundred yards of severa] dwellings. The young girl, who was well known for her modest, quiet behaviour has the deepest sympathy of the community. * When you find you have a Headache in the morning, a dose of H. H.

Ermin<rer of the firm of Erminger & Goldsmith, large Candy manufacturers At? lanta GA., cheerfully and gratefully gives us j 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 j 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 luckv and happy thought j Norman's Neutralizing Cordial was procured j and one dose, in a few minutes, brought! marked relief and four or five more effected a complete cure. Before I began the use of this 1 medicine, I was in The greatest agony, my j bowels unchecked, and I was so completely j exhausted as scarcelv to be able to speak abo ve a whisper. Th e relief was so sudden j and so complete, that I could hardly realize | it.^ind I knew no bounds to the expression, i of my gratitude for the remedy that saved j me from impending death. I now feel, 1 am j doing a service to my fellow-mpn in letting! them know ?is merits that they also may have i its a:d in time of their danger.
