Parties losings bj the late fire bave, in most cases,, had their losses adjust in a satisfactory manner bj the Insurance Companies. The following adjustments have been made bj Mr. J. D. Churchill, special agent of the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company : Wm. Begin, amount of pol icy on merchan? dize, $5, OOO, allowed in full. Myles Moran, loss and damage by removal and water, $187.87. W. J. Andrews, loss and damage bj removal and injury to front of store, $102.06. Z. E. Walker, loss and damage bj removal, $44.82. As adjuster for the "Niagara," Wm. Bogin's policy on merchandise, $1,000, paid in foil. Mr. Butson Lee, acting for bis partner, Mr. W. G. DeSanssore, who is sick in Charleston, adjnsted the policy of Wm. Bogin, in the Providence Insurance Company, on bis building, amounting to $2,000. Mr. Bogie bad a policy in ^another company, on his building, amounting to $4,000, which bas been adjusted. The other companies have adjusted losses amounting to the aggregate to $15,000, and we have not heard of any contested cases. The sharp practice of some of the men sent to Sumter to adjust losses can be character? ized bj sogen tier term than high banded wiscali ty, if oar information is correct, and we believe it is. Some of the companies are fortunate io baring gentlemen to represent them in adjusting losses, wbile others are con? tent to send dishonest sharks to bull-doze timid parties out of a large slice of their in? surance, on technical quibbles which could have no infioenoe with honest men. We baye good agents here ; now wbj is it that the companies represented, do not do them? selves the justice to send equally good adjust? ers? j_ Town Charter. A new Charter for the Town of Sumter bas been adopted by the Council, and forwarded to the Legislature for adoption. We publish below a section which refers to a- matter that is now occupying a prominent place in the minds of our people : _ SECTIOS 8.-That whenever it may be law? ful for ?aid Town Council to grant licenses for the sale of spirituous or intoxicating li? quors within the corporate limits of said town, no such license shall be granted by them for the sale of such liquors for any year or part of a year, except upon the pay ment?n advance bjsthe person applying for the same, of the som of not less than six hundred dol? lars for sorb year orpirt of a year. - Any violation of the provisions of this section by said Town Council, shall be deemed a misde? meanor, and npon conviction thereof shaff be punished by fine or imprisonment, or both,"io the discretion of the Judge trying the cause. [For the Watchman aod Southron.] The Local Option Petition. The following is the Petition presented to the Town Council, asking for an election upon the question of granting license to sell spir'uoos liquors. Attention is invited to the points appeuded to names, and the foot notes in explanation thereof; " . To tie Honorable Intendent and Wardens of the Town of Sumter, S.

The question now before the voters of Sum? ter must soon be answered. The day ap? proaches when the good people of Sumter, will again be called upon to give their solemn protest against legolizing the liquor traffic that standing menace to the peace, prosperity and happiness of our people-for, whatever increases vice, poverty and wretchedness, as this unrighteous traffic does, decreases and destroys the happiness and prosperity of any community. Will our citizens vote to le galize this traffic? to throw around the bar? rooms and rum shops the sanction of law, and thus open wide these toll gates of Hell, as our fathers, sons and brothers go staggering down the road to disgrace, poverty and eternal ruin, and, as a certain consequence of the legalized traffic in intoxicating liquors, incul? cate and encourage those inclinations, habits and conditions, which debase mankind to the level of the brute. Who can measure the fearful consequences to the youth and manhood of our town and section, that will result from again licensing the horrible business of drunkard making? The result will be fearful and disastrous. As well turn loose some wild beast to tear and destroy ; as well take a poisonous serpent to our embrace to try its cruel fangs, as well let go tbe Winds of Heaven, in storms and hurri cans to cast down our dwellings upon ns ; as { well expose ourselves to crime and pestilence, and say to them slaughter and destroy, and expect no disasters, as tb license this sin, against decency and public and private wel? fare, and to escape loss of property, misery and moral min. No revenue derived from licensing or permitting crime, or that which produces crime, by any Government, Nation? al. State, or Municipal, can secure any lasting good, a semblance of prosperity may blind the public eye for a time, but, the Great God will visit his anger upon such government and people for daring to violate the laws of morality and humanity, and bold to strict accountability, whosoever "putteth the bot? tle" to his neighbors lips. The battle wages, but, the results are not doubtful. We will do our duty to ourselves, to our fellow-men, to God and our country, ' and will "answer, Nol Women of Sumter! mothers, wives and sisters, you are deeply interested in this ques? tion, give your influence and help in this contest. Voters .of Sumter; Fathers, sons and brothers, rally to the rescue. Realize the great interests at stake, to be decided on Tuesday, December 4th, and cast your votes for "No License" ; for temperance and virtue, ftnd peace any prosperity, and happiness ; for God, and Home, and Native hind. OBSERVER. ( Courage is a noble trait. With some it re? quires greater courage to live than it does to die. When disease racks the frame, when sores cover the person, when aches are in ?very joint, when the muscles are soft *and flabby, when the least exertion gives fatigue, cvhen the mind is filled with gloom -and des? pondency, what is there in life worth living, ind yet many eke out just such a miserable existence, living only for those who love bera. When it is generally known that brown's Iron Bitters will cure the above dis >rders how many hearts will be made glad ! 3ow many homes made happy 1 'From the first to the last/ said Anthony Trollope in his autobiography, 'there was ?othing satisfactory in roy school career, ex *pt the way in which I kicked the boy who md to be takcu home to be cured.' ?j ' Do you have restless nights?

The proprietors of Kendall's Spavin Cure nave hundreds of letters on file speaking in the highest terms of the benefits derived from ts use. When you find one case where it has "ailed to give relief, there are hundreds where it has proved a success. Read advertisement. To Repair Damages. Dear lady, there is probably no use telling rou that fashionable life in a great citj* is a ^ rough one on your beauty. Late hours, loss of sleep and mental excitement will leave you by and by shorn of those beautiful tresses which drew lovers around you in other years. Artificial substitutes can never pass for those rich and glossy locks. Packer's Hair Balsam will stop your hair from falling out, restore its natural color and softness, and prove cleansing and beneficial to the scalp. What Struck an Old Soldier. 'It will soon be twenty years since the war closed.' Under the hot sun of August, 1882, the vil? lage of Dover, X. J., lay ?tili as the sphinx in Egypt, while Elijah Sharp, of that place, slowly and softly spoke of the past. 'Yes,' he said, 'I was in the army aud saw many of the sights of those fearful years. I was final? ly discharged from disability, resultiug from sunstroke. I came home, miserable in health and spirits; so enfeebled that I took cold on the slightest exposure. Life seemed worth? less to me ; I lived only in memory.' 'That was sad enough,' I said, dividing my last two cigars. 'That's so,' responded Mr. Sharp; 'but I got over it. Outgrew it? Not exactly. When in that condition I began taking Barker's Tonic, and my health commenced to improve right away. I was astonished at it, and so was my wife. I piled on the flesh and could eat anything. My ambition blitzed up. I could attend to business, and now-excepting that I have to take care about exposing my? self to the hot sun-I am as well as I was the day I enlisted. What differences there are in things-runs and bayonets kill; Parker's j i Tonic saves.' This preparation, which has been known as I Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be call ed simply Parker's Tonic. As unprincipled J dealers are constantly deceiving their custo- . mers by substituting inferior articles nuder ! the name of ginger, and as ginger is really an j ? unimportant ingredient, we drop the mis? leading word. There ie no change, hotcever, in the prepara- I lion itself, and all bottles remaining in the I hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of i Parker's Ginger Tonic, contain the genuine j r medicine if the facsimile signature of Hiscox j & Co., is at the bottom of the outside wrap? per. --mm ?i-PM---pwna-i-t THE MARKETS.

We, the undersigned, must ac? knowledge that wc also arc looking and waiting for the Fair to opeo., but there is something just at this time that would equally, if not more interest us, and that is to do a good business, and at thc same time please our friends and the public generally. We claim that we have met you half way by hav? ing stocked our house with the BEST ANO CHOICEST 6000S to be had in any market, and if thc reade- will now come thc other half oe thc way, why theo we would all bc happy, and thc time would pass away quickly even if thc Fair G rounds wereclosed.
