The Mails, Complaint?, numerous and lond, have come to ns that onr paper frequently fails to reach its destination. We regret this and wish we could suggest a remedy, but cannot. Of course our readers are aware that the fault is not in this office ; bot they must remember that an exciting political campaign is nnder way. Uncle Sam's servants are expected to do their whole duty in this political fight. Oar mails may go astray, our letters and paper go on excursions over the country, but what of thal ? The Postmasters are needed at campaign meetings to urge on the faithful and see that no laggards are fonnd in the ranks. The conntry must be saved to the Republi? cans even though onr mails go skylarking, and we cannot expect that pnblic servants as faithful as postmasters (we mean faithful to the g. o. p.) to neglect their campaign duties and tie their minds, occupied as they are with the burning political questions of the day, down to the tedious, hnmdmm life of distributing letters or delivering papers. And so we must have patience till the campaign is ovet, and then our hard work? ing P. M's. can come back to their offices and attend to the mails. Hare patience, friends, and remember the fault is not in this office. Transgressors. Several violations of Municipal law occur? red the past week. J. T Edwards was indicted for assaulting J. S. Nettles and also using profane, obscene language. The case was tried before a jnry, which was a novelty in onr Municipal courts, ind the defendant found guilty, and fined 512.50 or 15 day? in jail. He paid up. Edward Scott, a Manning darkey came to Samte- to a funeral, and in order to console himself g?t uproarionsly drunk, and thought be contd whip ont Sumter. He finally sar* rendered, when he was indicted for carrying concealed weapons and for committing an assault. His fine was $15.00, but he com? promised on $12.50 and then made tracks for Manning, a priser, sadder and ten times madder man than when he came here. Willis Williams, last Weducsday. gr? too much mean whiskey in his earea.??. He resisted a policeman, and was hauled op before his Honor. Five dollars .or ten d ?vs was the sentence, and as times were hard he went to jail. Willis Ramsey another colored individual ! got drunk and was sloshing around until trooped op by ? policeman. Fin?, fire dol? lars. Sadden Death. < Miss Mary Lynch, who has been in bad beal th for ten or twelve year?, died very sud? denly at her home near the Factory, last Thursday night. She had been op during thc I day, bot towards evening lay down and never I ?poke again. The canse of her illness is unknown. Killed. Baalam Williams, a colored man, accom- i panied by a little boy laid down on a wood j * scaffold near Cain Savannah last Tuesday ! night and went to sleep. The little boy on ?waking ^ext morning was horrified to see the l?ody of Williams on the track some dis lance away, terribly manpled. It is suppos? ed that being suddenly arroused by a passing train, he fell on the trark in front of the train and hence the traced v. ! 1 Erratum. In onr extract from the School Commis sioner's Report last week we should have i 1 stated that the financial statement was for > the year 1883. The showing tor the year ending in 1884 will lie still t?etter. Holidays. Saturday last was Jewish New Year, and a number of stores were closed because of that fact. Next Monday, the 20th is the Day of Atonemnnt, and the most solemn of all the Jewish holiday?. ai?d all good Israelites re? frain from business at that time. All their stores and other places of business will be closed in town that day. The State Campaign commences to-day at Piekens C H., and will continue ontil the 30th October. The list of appointments were crowded out of our columns to-day but will appear next week. Stores to be Closed. Messrs. A.A. Solomons, A. Moses, B. J. Barnett and J. A.

Several persons last Sunday seemed most too full of **Blue Ruin," and we think it would bc a good idea tor the Council to pass an ordinance against the Sunday sale of whiskey. It might do good. The Banner Club Zoar Democratic Ch:b was the first to pay the Executive Committee her quota of the assessment for campaign expenses. Zoar Club is a spunky s?-t of go-ahead Democrats that may always be found at the front of the column. raham's Stables received last night a load of fine horses.

Our friends who visit Charleston cannot do better than to consult oar columns as a guide io making their purchases. They will first need a Hotel, and the Pavil? ion stands ready with open arms to receive them. Its cuisine, rooms, &c, will please the most fastidious. If our friends are on King Street, however, they will go to the Waverly House, and with its new outfit and genial host find themselves much at home. Mr. Edwin R. White, the marble and stone man, hae just returned from the North, and has replenished bis 6tock, ftc.,-having the latest designs in Monuments, Head Stones, kc. Will furnish designs to order. Give him a call. Mr. C. C. Leslie will send yon Fsh, Oysters and oilier nice things, and will buy Poultry, Eggs or other country produce and insure fair dealing and good prices. If you need House Furnishing goods, cnll on Mr. John A. LePrince who is a manufac? turer of such articles and will take pleasure in showing you over his ware rooms. And then you will very naturally go to McEIree's Jewelry Palace if you need any? thing tn the way of watches clocks or jewelry. He is selling at greatly reduced rates for a short time. Mr. Moran's big advertisement speaks for itself. Ile has a fine stock of just what our farmers need, and they will do themselves as well as Mr. .Moran a favor by calling on him. Mr. Morris will sell you anything in the way of stoves, or fis up as nice a job of tin? ning as you could wish to see. He put the roof on several large stores in Sumter the past Summer. Ashley Phosphate has a new advertisement to-day. We can always say a good word for these first class feitilizcrs which have taken a high stand in the past and are still climbing higher.

Mr. Editor: The dry spell has been broken j >y copious showers which were greatly need Mi. It will benefit peas, potatoes, rice, and ?tton, too, that has not been immured with :ommcreial fertilizers. Cotton crop will not bc a very heavy one. Some of ns are convinced that most of the .ust, so-called, is caused by using Guano. 3u one plantation I notice a part of a field nanured with commercial fertilizer ; the cot? on there has shed off its leaves and looks ike frost might have been on it, while balance )f same field is green and blooming, and has is much immured cotton as where fertilizer ?vas used. Farmers must make more home ertilizp? or their pocket books will continue Lo look like an elephant bad trod on them. We ?ire satisfied with the result of ?he Pri uary, and glad that it is over. Our Club reel? very thankful to thc people for thc com? pliment paid in nominating two of its mem jers for County Commissioners. The Tax Collector was here Saturday, but bund very little money in circulation. Hope ie wont form an opinion of this section by his meces.-?, for if lie does he will conclude that ?-e are mighty poor. He came too soon, ns tve have sold very little cotton yet. Time to pay liens has arrived, or is very near at hand, and as the law may he abolish? ed, merchants will likely try to make close .ollections. Whether it will Le best to do iway with thc lien law or not, we are not able 0 say, for there are certainly two sides which ?n be well braced by strong arguments. Merchants will, of course, want some security or advances. Before the war slave property iras a basis of credit, and there was not as iberal a homestead law in existence as now. ro do away with the lien law, mortgages on eal estate would be required, and we think t would bc folly for farmers to give raort rages on land to feed negroes, (willi thc expe? dience some of ns have had.) to make cotton. If the law were abolished, no doubt more aboters would be for hire; we would not ?ave HS many one-horse or ox firms, and the labor might be better controlled ; aud whilst 1 good many whites would te all right, some Lvotild be put to their trumps to get supplies, [lest thing to kill the lien law is twenty good logs and plenty provisions raised at home. From the way some of our young men are jiainting and fising np their homes, Ac., I ?lope that a wedding is on haud, as things t?egin io look too nice to be enjoyed by a j riachelor. Quite a merry crowd of young people met I it the pleasant home of Capt. Geo. McCutch- I ?n, on ?Saturday evening, for a game of cro? quet, which they seemed to enjoy greatly. Vour correspondent did not understand any? thing about the game, but some of the young folks seemed lo understand something, if they did not croquet-playing. Our neighborhood has been reinforced in the person of Mr. W. N. Hatfield, who has i succeeded J. S. Cut tino, as salesman for Mr. ' I?. J. Barnett at this place and as Post .Master.

I have been over a large porliou of the couo ty lately and believe that nearly all the fer? tilized cotton is open. Whiskey is plentiful-but oh 1 I forgot, this is a dry town. I mentioned the Express Ofiice last week, but Mr. Warren, the present Agent who was appointed after Mr. J. It. Hcmbert resigned that office, is keeping things in such nice order that I must compliment him again. We had a little sleight of hand perform? ance here last Thursday. Mr. W. F. Mathis rode to town and hitched his horse under tlie shed, und in a short time, the horse was gone. It was found afterwards hitched iu a swamp near by, and restored to the owner. J. A.

Manville Items. MAXTILLE, S. C., Sept. If?, 1334. While arranging a cotton gin on Saturday last at Messrs. Ryttenberg's Rose Hill Planta? tion, Mr. Robt. F. Jones allowed his coat sleeve to be caught by the saws, pulling his left hand in, which was so fearfully mangled that amputation was necessary. Drs. McLeod, Fraser and DuBose performed thc operation on Sunday morning, Dr. DuBose using the knife with as much dexterity ns if it were an every day business with bim. Mr. Jones bore his suffering manfully, and looked upon three Doctors with their shining knives and saw, and uninviting table, with much less agitation than many of his sympathizing friends. He had been superintending the ginning just about a week, and being a young man with a wife and two or three children renders it a very sad affliction. To all who work about steam gins this is another warning to stop thc machinery when anything gets out of fix, and to keep hands from near the suws at all times when in motion. During thc operation a mad dog attacked a negro boy who hod charge of some horses, tearing hi/ clothing only, I hear, and passed twice through the house and around on the piazza before he was killed. SEPTEMBER 22. On Thursday, 18th instant, a two year old child of Mr. W. S. Scarborough, while playing with the other children, and within a. few feet of where Mr. S. was standing, was bitten on the foot by a rattle snake. The screams of ihe little one attracted the atten? tion of those preseut, but not until the mother appeared was the cause known, so well was the serpent hid under a pile of wood. Master Henry Bateman, henceforth Col. Bateman, shot the snake, which proved to be small, and probably a species known as the ground or hickory rattle. The child is doing well and nothing more than a painful sore is apprehended. Mr. Frank Mathis, who lives a few miles below Bethany Church had his horse stolen from a lot ?D Mayesville on Thursday last ; bul the accommodating thief, after1 riding to a very thick place iu the s ?vamp und there hitching the animal, walked buck to town to bear what was going on. He was immediately spotted by a party who saw biro riding out of town. A glorious drunk was iiis ruse, but, it is said, when he found this would avail nothing, he said it would not be j :iis first experience in the Penitentiary. He is a white man, and gave his name as Owens tv hen he came to this section. The bridges over the swamp at Carter's Crossing are in a very bad condition. X. V.. ?ESTI0DR BATO POME TO-DAY!
