I turn and an extract sent us by a promi
nent physician of our County. Those
who wish for information as to the
effect of beer-dnuking, need not con
sult temperance authorities to obtain
it. Tue statistics of the numerous life
Assurance organizations answer the
question in a most positive manner as to
whether beer is healthful or the contra
ry. The K.' of H: Reporter, the organ
of the. largest cooperative tusuranee or
gauisation is America, has been pub
lishing during the past year, some
startling statistics, gathered from the
! actaal death rates in that society.
^ Wherever beef-drinking has'obtained a
foothold, the mortality resulting from
diseases engendered by that habit is in
finitely greater than that caused by
drinking distilled liquors. Therefore
we are glad to publish the favor sent ns
by our medical Jrieod, arid hope it will
receive the consideration it diserves.
Would it not be well for our friends
who driok beer to ask themselves
whether or not they are swallowing
slow poison.
FRBB TRADE.
We are in receipt of the September
number of the American Free Trader.
Of coarse it advocates the abolition of
Custom Houses and all the parapberna- j
IIa connected with the collection of the
National taxes. 4
Oar country is hardly prepared for
this change yet. We groan hugely
over the payment of taxes for support
ing oor State Government, and it would
be mach more difficult to meet the de
mands of the-cxtravagant General Gov
ernment, and therefore think it better
to work for a tariff for revenue only.
When we buy a coat and pay one dol
lar in the transaction to the govern
ment, it does not hurt hear sq badly as
to walk op to the tax collector and give
him the dollar. C' 1
More Blunders.
Last week we criticised some of our
brothers of the quill for neglecting to
give proper credits, thereby failing
to make their news as trustworthy as it
otherwise would be. Notwithstanding
this fraternal warning, pur article was
copied and credited to the Spirit of the
Times by the Greenville News as fol
l?wa' . - -
Spirit of the Times rises
Jin ark:
R 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. Hudson, who was a native of Sumter
county, has been elected a circuit Judge
in Texas, and that he was the young
est Jodge ou the*, bench. The Marion
Index copied it without giving credit,
thus creating the impression that Mr.
Hudson was from Marion instead of
Sumter, as is evident from the follow
ing, cot from the Spartan burg Herald :
*'R. G. Hudson, who has just been
elected a circuit Judge iu 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.
Hudson of that county."
The joke about this item is that the
Marion Index "bogged" it from the
Spirit of the Times, the Marion Star
abstracted it from the Index% the News
condensed it from the Star and the
Spartanburg Herald took it bodily from
the News.

National Colored Convention.
The Colored Convention met last
week, and after organizing, hearing a
few speeches and adopting an
address, adjourned. An attempt to
bring in politics by offering a resolu
tion commendatory of President Arthur
aud his administration, was vehemently
opposed by the delegates from Mary- j
land, the Carolinas and some other!
States, aud for awhile it looked as if
the convention would end ia a row.
Fred Douglas delivered a carefully pre
pared address, in which be insisted
that the negro should receive something
more than fair words as a reward for
political fealty. The Vice-Presidency
or a prominent Cabinet position is the
least thing that would satisfy the
speaker and be no doubt expressed the
sentiment of the more intelligent of
colored voters.
The address adopted by the Conven
tion was no better and no worse than
the numerous other papers emanating
from "our brothers in black."
They express their gratitude for the
emancipation of the race and the sacri
fice that made possible the struggle in
which treason and slavery were consign
ed to a common sepulchre. The reso
lutions recognize also the laws and con
stitutional amendments designed to
secure to the colored people their rights
as citizens and disclaim any desire for
further class legislation. They declare
that many of the laws intended to secure
their rights are practically dead letters,
especially ia the Southern States, where
the colored people are deprived of jus
tice iu the Courts, denied the fruits of
their honest labor, defrauded of their
political rights at the ballot box, shut
out from learning trades, cheated out of
their civil rights by hotels and com
mon carrier companies and left by the
States to an inadequate opportunity for
education and general improvement,
industrial education and the encourage
ment of the negroes to habits of thrift
and frugality are mentioned as the solu
tion of the problem that most deeply
concerns the moral and material wel
fare of the race. The governojent is
called upon to reimburse the creditors
of the Freedmen's Bank in appointing
special machinery to close the insolvent
concern, which violated the provisions
of the law under which it was establish.
The distinction made between white and
black troops in the army and navy is
denounced as un-American, unjust and
ungrateful Sympathy is expressed for
the Irish people in their efforts to gain
their rights. The abolition of the

The Smithvilld Outrage and Lynch
ing.
Tbe following, from the Camden
Journal gives fuller particulars than
what we published last week, and is
about the best account we have seen
published of the affair. The name of
the negro as given, and other particu
lars we have learned, identify him, we
think, as one Sol. Cunningham, who
lived for a while on Mr. A. W. Brown's
farm near Sumter. While there, he
stole an ox from Frank James, a color
ed man living near, and for that offence
was arrested and placed io jail. On
May 9th, he got possession of the keys
by sharp practice and escaped. His
next appearance was at Pisgah :
Oo Wednesday of last week a most
fiendish outrage was committed about
twelve miles below Camden, in the up
per edge of Sumter County, upon the
person of Miss Bettie Dixon. It ap
pears, as near as we can get at tbe facts
of the case, that Miss Dixon, a comely
young girl of about fourteen years of
age, and a smaller girl?a cousin?
named Mi*s Dees, about eight years of
age, bad been on a visit to their grand
father, Mr. Wo. Dees, and were on tbe
return to their own home, two miles
distant. They Were walking down the
public road, and when about one mile
from their homes were overtaken by a
negro man named Sol. Cunningham,
who immediately seized Miss Dixon.
She fought with desperation, and was
assisted by Miss Dees. The negro
then drew out his knife and gave Miss
Dees a fearful cut and stab in the back
near the shoulder, and renewed his at
tack upon Miss Dixon. He then turn
ed into the woods, intending to make
his escape, but some persons who hap
pened to be near and beard the noise
hurried to the scene to see what caused
rhe alarm. Upon learning what had
been done, a hoe and cry spread over
the country, and whites and negroes
came in from every direction to hunt
down the scoundrel.
Fortunately, two parties came up
soon after the occurrence, and found the
negro coming not of the woods only a
short distance from where he bad gone
in. He was immediately arrested and
tied. v. Wbeu called upon to surrender
he was very defiant and insolting?de
manding of them to show their warrant
for his arrest. A big pistol close To his
head showed him that it was a warrant
that there was no going back upon. He
was then" taken down near Pisgah
Church, where the crowd had -assem
bled, and the the girls were brought
forward to identify him. He stoutly
denied bis guilt, and was still very
defiant. Both of the girls fully identi^
fied him, and the youn'ge1rooe said :
* You are the man, sir; and when you
cut me the knife cut your finger, too.'
His hand was examined, and,- sure
enough, there was the cut on his finger.
He was searched, and the bloody knife
was found in his pocket.
There was no doubt then as to his
guilt, and he was taken to the rear of
the chnrch and tied to a tree to meet
the death he so justly merited. After
being tied to the tree he saw that his
time had come, and there was no use to
lie any more, so he told the whole story,
confessing to all that he had been charg
ed with. He was then shot to death,
both whites and negroes. participating
in wreaking vengeance upon him.
His body was left there, as no one
would touch it. Trial Justice J. H.
McLeod learned of the affair, and pro- j
ceeded to the spot, and held an inque.-t j
over the body A verdict was returned
to the effect that the deceased had come
to bis death at the bauds of uuknown
parties. He had the body buried near
where it was found.
It is reported that Sol. was rather a
worthless vagabond, doing little work,
and wandering around from place to
place most of the time, depending upon
his wits for a living and scrupling at
nothing when he wanted to attaiu any
desire.
It is said that both of the girls are
now seriously ill.
Beer Drinking.
Editor Watchman and Southron,.
As many persons who admit the injurious ef
fects of the habitual use of ardent spirits,
doubt the troth of tbe same bad result follow
ing tbe habitual ose of beer, it would be well
to ask all such doubters to seriously consider
tbe statement appended below. Tbe article
is clipped from a recent medical journal, and
bears upon its face much evidence that will
convince a genuine seeker after truth. If not
at once convinced, let tbe doubter observe,
candidly observe, for himself, the cases of
habitual beer-drinkers for a period of two or
three years; and then if he decides that beer
is favorable to vitality and longevity in a
majority of cases, he will have reached a de
cision the opposite of that reached by careful
observers gene rally.
ANTI-LAGER.
i
BEER AXD TITALITT
Tbe president of tbe Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company, oae of tbe oldest io
tbe country, has for years been investigating
tbe relation of beer-drinking to longevity.
His object was that be might solve the problem
whether beer promotes vitality or otherwise;
in other words, to know whether beer-drink
ers are desirable risks to a life insurance com
pany. We give his conclusions. He declar
ed, the result of a series of observations i
carried on among a selected group of persons
who were habitual drinkers of beer, that al
though for two or three years there was noth
ing remarkable, yet presently death began to
strike, and then the mortality became
astounding and uniform iu its manifestations.
There was no mistaking it; tbe history was
almost invariable; robust, apparent health,
full muscles, a fair outside, increasing weight,
florid faces; then a touch of cold, or a sniff of
malaria, and instantly some acute disease,
witb almost invariable typhoid symptoms,
was in violent action, and ten days or less
ended it.
It was as if tbe system bad been kept fair
on the outside, while within it was eaten to a
shell; and at the first touch of disease there
was utter collapse; every fibre was poisoned
aud weak. And this, in its main features,
varying in degree, has been his observations
in beer-drinking everywhere. It is peculiar
ly deceptive at first; it is thoroughly destruc
tive at the last.? Good Health.
