Violation of Town Ordinance.
We believe there is an ordinance in force
in Sumter, forbidding the erection of wooden
buildings at certain places on Main and Lib?
erty Streets. Za'k Walker's building, in the
rear of his bar-room, was burned down in the
recent fire,, and he has erected another in
place thereof. Unless a Warden has nome
privileges that are denied ordinary mortals,
then Walker has violated the law, which it
is hts doty to enforce, and we see no reason
why he should not be punished for it. Every
property owner in the neighborhood is inter?
ested in getting rid of these pestiferous shan?
ties, which are constantly breeding fires.
Bar-room Bow.
Last Saturday night, at Zack Walker*s
bar-room a negro desperado named Grand
Davis got into a fuss with a negro woman
named Martha Campbell, and beat her np
badly. It is said by some, that she was also
severely cnt in the abdomen It is reported
that a colored policeman was present either
at tlie row or soon after, bnt no arrests
have been made. There seems to be an effort
on the part of those who were present at the
row to hush it up as imirh as possible, and
we have found much difficulty in getting de?
tails. It isa fact, however, that the row oc
enrred, and we think some steps
should be taken to investigate the mat?
ter. We believe that bar-rooms are ander
bond to keep an orderly house, nnd Council
should try to enforce that rule. The fact
that the bar-keeper is a council man should
not exempt him from obeying the law.
An Energetic Young Lady.
Some years ago, a young lady in Sumter,
who was receiving attentions from a clerk in
a dry goods store, called nt the store one af?
ternoon and bought a dre? pattern. That
night, the young roan visited the lady and
found her wearing the dress she had
bought that afternoon, which she had made
up in the nicest style. We do not know that
be proposed^on the S|K>t, but he ought to
have done so, for the girl that could fly
around in that way, would be apt to make a
good wife.

This Journal is now in its second year, and
moves foward with the dignity befitting that
advanced age. Its present editors have re?
signed, and ina pleasant little valedictory
say:
"With this number the present editors of
the Collegian retire from its management and
condign it to those who are equally able to
guard its welfare and promote tts success. It
is not to be supposed that the editorship of
even so small a thing as a College paper, is a
mere sinecure of honor. To us who are not
practised in composition, nor yet arrived at
the age in which we can obtain a partial con?
trol of our faculties, the work of editorship
is work indeed. There are two almost insur?
mountable difficulties in thc way of a young
editor. The first is to find a subject, the se?
cond to say anything about it after it is
found. Nevertheless we have managed to
send out a full issue each time. We had, at
starting, dreams of revolutionizing the world
of journalism. We had expected to complete?
ly annihilate the Herald and bring the
"Thunder" at our feet. We had expected to
be sent to Egypt to report the war, oi to the
Arctic regions to describe the scenery. Rut
we have not. So for two reasons, because we
retire, and because we have to, we are going
to resign forever that profession which has
not appreciated our abillity nor icwarded our
industry."
We found much to interest, in the Collegian
and will appreciate its visits.

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING.
[ The Scramble to Fill Maekey's Un?
expired Term.
PANDEMONIUM BROKE LOOSE
Monday was a big day with the Republi
j cans of Sumter County. A mass meeting had
; been called for the purpose of having.speeches
! from Congressional candidates, and our
j streets were well filled by patriotic voters.
At one o'clock, Sam Lee, County Chair?
man, called the meeting to order in the Music
Hall, and stated its object to be for the pur?
pose of giving all candidates an opportunity
I of coming personally before the people, so
j that the rank and file of the party might act
i intelligently in their primaries,
j The following persons were on the plat
! form ; Collector T. B. Johnston, J. B. Tin
! dal, Rev. Benj. Lawson, Sam Lee, Gen.
j Robert Smalls, D. A, Straker, Preston
j Thompson and Rev. Wilson Cook. The
meeting was opened with prayer by Rev.
I Cook, and then Lee introduced the first
speaker, Preston Thompson, of Richland.
Thompson commenced by saying that
although not of the Tth District, yet he. in
common with every Republican in the State,
was interested in this election. He soon
showed that he was io favor of Straker'8 can?
didacy, and Smalls' friends began to ply him
with questions and raise points of order in j
endless profusion. He said he was for the
best man to represent the 7th District, and
Cap Shiver wanted to know who that was.
The speaker said he would answer the ques?
tion hefore he got through, hut Cap wanted
an immediate answer. Then R. M. Andrews,
Dick Reed, John Craig and Pinckney Davis j
all rose to points of order, roost of which the j
Chairman decided "not well taken," aud as J
they had nothing else to do, most of them j
kept their feet and continued yelling at the :
top of their voice.
Rev. W. E. Johnson rose to a point of or?
der, which was that "all should listen and
ask questions afterwards." Lee decided the
point well taken, and they all settled down j
for a short rest and let Thompson go on with j
his speech. Dick Reed was the next to in- I
terupt, and Lee informed bim that he was ap- j
pointed to be the last speaker, which tickled ;
Reed so much that he shut up like a jack?
knife ard kept silent for at least five rainures.
Thompson said that the Democrats had divi?
ded the State to suit their convenience and j
not to please the Republicans, and it behooved j
the party to show by the man they sent to !
Congress, that they were capable of taking j
care of themselves. He charged Smalls as !
being unfit, and criticised his course while in :
Congress.
Pinckney Davis here interrupted to ask if he
had ever read Smalls' record while in Congress. ;
The speaker dodged the question, when W. I
W. Ramsey bounced to his feet, on a point of ;
order\ The Chairman wished to know
whether he was there as a Republican or
Democrat, Ramsey said both, and another
storm followed, during and over all of which
could be heard Lee's frantic appeals for order,
mingled with the continuous rapping of the
gavel.
The speaker closed amidst the wildest con?
fusion, R. M. Andrews iusisting that the ;
whole meeting was out of order, and pro- j
posed to reorganize by electing a Chairman !
and Secretary. This brought on a dispute !
with Lee, who after a war of words iutro- ?.
duced the next speaker, Gen. Smalls.
Smalls did not wish to speak so early in j
the meeting, and said so. However, he met !
with a warm reception, waving hat3 and !
lusty jells filling the air. The distinguished ?
gentleman said he had never been to college \
or even to a good school, and he proved il
very satisfactorily. He murdered the Queen's j
English most diabolically and delighted his -
followers thereby. Smalls gave a brief rec- !
ord of his congressional work, aud stated !
what he had done for his District, in getting i
an appropriai ?on for a Light-bouse and Coal- j
ing Station. (A voice-That beats the:
Joint Stock Company.) He paid his respects J
to the "educated gentleman from Bermuda," i
(Straker,) and said he was not a legal resi- ;
dent of the 7th District, and therefore not a j
proper man for Congressman.
After ano tiler uproar, which lasted five
minutes. Smalls made another start, when
some une informed him that he had been once :
sentenced to the Pvii?tetil?hrjr. Jle retorted '
by informing the audience that Lee had been
sentenced by Judge Mackey. He twitted Lee I
with his efforts at a compromise willi the ?
Democrats hi the hut campaign. He claimed
to have thc undivided support of those who
st?ul him to Congress before, and whose votes
would send him there ?gain regardless ot op?
position. Thc voice of the people of the 7lh
District was moie potential than Sam Lee,
and he had no fears of success.
Lee next introduced D. A. Straker, in a
spread-eagle speech, which called down the
wrath of the Smalls men. The circus now
coiumeuced in earnest. Lee shucked his ;
overcoat and spit on his hands, preparatory ;
\ to a big speech, when R. M. Andrews jumped j
! on a chair and denounced Lee as a tyraut ;
! ruling over the county. The pandemonium
! increased; all were on their feet shouting and ?
j screaming, while the prudent ones left the ?
; hall in great numbers. Chairs were bran- :
j dished in all directions, and a good old-fash
: ioned scrimmage seemed imminent, but after
, fifteen minutes hard work the stage was
j cleared and Lee commenced working on the
j screaming mob on the floor. He begged,
threatened and rapped, and finally in despair,
introduced Straker while the hubbub was
t . i
j going on.
: Straker is a full-blooded negro, a3 black
and oily a sj?ecimen as you would find in a
: day's journey. He knows the negro well, ?
t and made himself master of the situation,
j despite his adverse surroundings. At least 1
i three-fourths of the mob favored Smalls, yet
. Straker went coolly to work, planted his bat
j teries and poured a storm of shot and shell
j upon his opponent's unwieldy hulk. He
I showed Smalls to be an ignoramus and bia
I taut demagogue, and that he was a blank in
j Congress. He ridiculed his Light-honse and
; Coaling Station appropriations, and said the '
j negro needed "rights," not commerce. He
\ said that Smalls was as unreliable as Lee,
j and was as ready to bolt in the last election,
I but was prevented by Lee's getting the start.
I Several sparring matches occurred during
. the speech, in one of which Lee stated that h?
j had a letter in his pocket, written to him by
j Smalls, in which the writer said he would
' bolt if Lee did not.
I Rruce Williams, from Georgetown, who
j had come on thc afternoon train, entered the
I hail during Straker's speech, and caused
some confusion as there was a general hand?
shaking all around among the dignitaries.
When Straker finished, another row start?
ed in fine style. Murray, from Rafton (-reek,
charged Lee with bad faith, inasmuch as Lee
promised him the next speech. Lee denied
the charge and while he hammered for order,
Murray marched up and down the aisle wild?
ly gesticulating and demanding to be heard.
The uproar was so deafening that our Report?
er, who had occupied a seat in the rear, came
up to the centre of the roora to try and hear
what was going on ; and Lee seeing him,
pointed him out to the shouting mob, and
said, "there isa Democratic reporter writing
up this meeting, and when you sec an ac?
count of your misconduct in the paper, don't
say it is a Democratic lie, for no words can
do justice to the behavior of some of this
crowd." Tais seemed to pour oil on the
waters; Murray subsided, and Bruce K. Wil?
liams, Sute Senator for Georgetown, was in?
troduced. Ile is a fine looking, intelligent
negro, and for a wonder bas a reputation for
honesty and goodst-nse. These qualifications,
of course, make him unpopular with the
negro voter, and he was listened to with
scant courtesy and by a small crowd. His
! speech was short and as soon as he closed
\ the mob adjourned with a yell.
This meeting was intended by Lee as an
offset to the Smalls boom, and as such was a
failure. Smalls proved himself a nincom?
poop, and that fact made him more dear to
the heart of the Republican voter. It is
somewhat surprising that Lee, knowing his
people so well, should venture to stake the in
telligeuceof even a negro likeStraker, against
the vague stupidity of Smalls. He ought to
know that the South Carolina Republican
voter does not appreciate intelligence or hon?
esty, and the possession of such qualities is
always objectionable in their leaders.
It is due to Lee to say that his promise of
not abusing the hall was faithfully carried
out. There was but little smoking or spit- ,
ting, and the audience deserve credit for that, j
though they kept up a most unearthly row. j

Our Bishopville Letter.
BISHOPVILLE. March 1, 1884. j
Mr. Editor : Have been reading in the i
columns of your valuable paper, the accounts
of the fearful ravages of the cyclone on the!
night of the 19th ult., also the appeals for aid
for those who were rendered thereby house- !
less, and destitute. ? hope the appeals will j
he responded to, liberally, by all whose i
means will justify a contribution. From the i
destructions of weather, fire and flood, none i
of us have any guarantee, and I believe if i
those of os who escape, refuse to help our less j
fortunate brothers, if ever calamities and mis- \
fortunes overtake us, it would he but right if :
others refuse to help us. There was no one '
hurt in this locality. Some pretty badly
scared by the howling wind, pelting hail, and |
pouring rains. One neighbor says, he was I
so badly frightened that, for his life, he could i
not find bis pants, another ran out of his j
house, leaving wife and children, but the I
hail atones soon reminded him that of two j
dangers he had better choose the least : so he
flew back into the house to take his chances J
with the rest. Hail stones fell here (and i
plenty of them) as large as hen eggs. For j
vivid lightning, roaring clouds, pelting hail j
and pouring rain, the night was without a
precedent in my memory. The wind, though '
hard, was not sufficient to do much harm. I !
think the cyclone passed here, but was high j
up. j
Despite the oft repeated heavy falls of rain, j
farm work is about as far advanced as usual j
for the first of March. I have heard of two ]
farmers who have planted some corn. Gar-;
dens planted early are up and growing finely, |
Peach and plum trees beginning to bloom, j
Prospects for a fruit crop doubtful. The ?
merchants of our village are opening out their '.
Spring stocks of goods and are finding ready I
sale for them from their lienors. They re? :
port having bought only such goods as farm- j
crs are obliged to have. There are not as j
many ox and cheap horse farms being run by j
negroes this year as usual. We notice the ?
contractor, Mr. Carr, is putting the finishing !
touches on Mr. R. L. Bethea's residence, j
When completed, it will add very much to .
the appearance of that part of our village.
Mr. George Reid's residence is now completed, !
and he is living in it.
j
Every now and then, a good house is being .
put up, and occupied, and who knows, but !
some day we will have a flourishing town at
Bishopville. What we need worst and most j
is what we haven't got, a railroad. It seems j
hard to convince those who have money, ;
that a section of country, which imports and ;
exports freights for the carriage of which near- ?
ly one hundred thousand dollars annually is |
being paid, is a sufficient inducement for them j
to invest a few thousand dollars in a railroad,
which could only prove (as I believe) a bless- !
ing to all concerned. Blest by an all wise I
Providence, with as good land as any in the j
South ; with our resources only half develop
ed ; in the midst of a section of country near- j
ly forty milts square, which has no conve- ;
nient ll. R. facilities, we do hope that while I
the R. R. corporations are selecting their |
routes, they will give our section a considera- |
tion. L. i
A low condition of health is common with |
many who allow themselves to worry. Mental ;
anguish causes bodily sufferings. Anxiety [
and care has brokeu dowD many constitutions.
A train of disorders usually follow mental ;
distress. Heart affections, nervousness, sleep- ;
lessneia, dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney 1
troubles, etc., are among the list. A sure :
remedy for relieving all meutal and physical
distress is Brown's Iron Bitters. It at once i
strengthens every part of the body making '
work a pleasure and care unknown.
Miss E. R. Lucas, Charleston, S\ C., 9ays: ;
"A severe spell of pneumonia had left me
quite weak. Brown's Iron Bitters made me
strong."
Rev. G. W. Offley, New Bern, X. C., says,
"I have taken Brown's Iron Bitters aud con?
sider it one of the best medicines known."
