Arthur Harvin is Dead.
The news of the death of this genial, kind
hearted, talented gentleman is received' just
as we go to press. We know* but few men
whose taking off would bring more regret
than that of Arthur Harvin. A- man, high
toned and chivalrous, true and sincere in his
convictions, honest in his dealings, tender as
a woman in bis affections, and^ altogether
lovable, he has passed away from the midst
of bis usefulness, in the prime of manhood,
leaving wife and children utterly bereft.
Mr. Harvin died in the 41st year of h':s age
after an illness lasting something over a
week. He was attacked with cholera morbus
but bad become almost convalescent. He sat
up in bed yesterday and seemed comparative?
ly comfortable. Towards the close of the
day be was seized with a sudden pain io his
stomach, a convulsion followed, and he rap?
idly sank, dying at 12 o'clock the night of j
the 2d instant. ^
Mr. Harvin was a native of Clarendon and
represented that County in the last Legisla?
ture. At the Primary Election, as an evi?
dence of his popularity he received the highest
vote cast for any candidate.

was very boisterous. The greatest range of
the thermometer was Thursday--25 in the
morning and 44 at noon. The least range
was on Saturday.
New Jailer.
We understand that Mr. T. S. Drayton has
been appointed jailer. -
. Two Fingers Lost.
Frank, a twelve year old son of Mr. J-. S.
Mirna, a factory operative, accidentally had his
fingers caught in some of the gearing yester?
day, and they were so badly mangled as to
make it necessary to amputate two of them.
Who Is To Blame?
Mr. Brand's letter, on the depot question,
io to-day's issue, lays the blame for the in?
convenient condition of affairs down there,
squarely ?upon the Town. ' Now it is in order
for the town to explain its neglect in the pre?
mises. v We insist that there should be greater
conveniences down there for passengers, es?
pecially as the trains mostly come and go at
night. If it is the duty of the Towc, we hope
the Council will see that the evil is remedied
It Is Not So.
Capt. D. J. Auld informs us that it is re?
ported over the county that he is contemplat?
ing moving from Sumter, and bas already
seat his family to Florida. He says it is not
io. He is traveling around recuperating his
health so as to be in fit condition for assum?
ing the duties of the Postoffice next June.

Bad Roads.
A gentleman from Stateburg informs us
that the trees blown down across the road
months ago,-between Sumter and that place,
are still blocking ct? the way, making it bad
to those who travel that way. This is
wrong, very wrong. Self interest should
make us keep the roads open and in good
condition, but it doesn't.

The Good Templars continue to have pleas- j
ant meetings. Next Wednesday is the regu?
lar night for installation, and . the 2ud
Degree will be conferred. The members are
a?? asked to be present and make the meeting
a pleasant success. The Lodge room is neat
and comfortable, aud an hour cannot be better
spent than in the social circle of the Lodge.
A Run Away.
Mr. Rees Mathis, with bis nephew John,
and Mr. D. W. Josey were coming into Mayes
ville a few days ago in Mr. Mathis' wagon.
Just opposite the Masonic Hall, the horses
took fright and ran away. John Mathis was
thrown out and run over; Reese next fell,
striking his head against the axletree and
braising it up badly; and then Mr. Josey was
thrown out, striking on his bead and remain?
ing insensible for half an hour. The parties
are all improving, though Mr. Josey is yet
carrying a generous piece of court-plaster on
his bead.
Sale Day.
Sale Day yesterday was'a "big" thing, in
point of attendance. The town was full and
running over. The Sheriff was the most pop?
ular official in town, judging from the crowd
vhich hung around bim, and he has a faded,
worn look this morning as if be was wearied
of so much popularity. The bone-yard was
! represented to some extent, and much horse
! flesh changed bands. We he?rd that one of
.: the sales stables made thirteen sales during
; the day.
We have beard of no antics on the part of
"blue ruin," and suppose that hard times
kept folks sober.

Gen. James Cbesnut died at his residence in
Camden on Saturday, January 31st. Gen.
Cbesnut was born in 1815, he was a member
of the Legislature in 1842-52, was State Sen?
ator in 1854-58, was a representative in Ibe
35th Congress, and a delegate to the Secession

THE DEPOT.
Mr. Editor: Some weeks ago jour corres?
pondent "Dew" saw fit to give you quite a
lengthy complaint concerning railroad mat?
hers at this place; butas ?"Dew" did not seem
io want us to have aoj "say so" in the mat
I ter, we thought it best to' let his articles go
for what it was worth, but in your last issue
you approach us in sucb a manner that we
\ feel compelled to say something.
Some yea rs ago according to my recollec?
tion, the town of Sumter agreed to police our
passenger depot if we would furnish it prop?
erly.' This we agreed to, immediately fur?
nished the rooms. The town, for a while,
had a police at every train. During that
time we beard no complaint whatever, simply
because there was no room for complaint; but
for some reasou the Town Council discontin?
ued the police, and in a short time the "loaf?
ing rif-raff" of the town began to congregate
at the depot at every train, and besides mak?
ing it almost impossible for passengers to get
off trains, they would go into the waiting
rooms, and ia a short while they bad abused
the furniture in these rooms so as to make it
unfit for use. From your article, I presume
^t is concerning the waiting rooms that yon
have so much complaint.
- Now, Mr. Editor, in justice to onr compa?
nies and to myself, I will say that we are
quite ready at?d willing to do anything reas?
onable in our power to provide for the com?
fort and accommodation of, our patrons, but
as you are aware, and will admit, we ought
to have some little protection. It is not our
purpose to shirk our. responsibility; but I
don't think, in fact, I know, the Railroad
Companies are not in fault as much as the
public think. These complaints can be stop?
ped, and as you say, "if the right steps are
taken," it will be done soon.
In conclusion, I will say the Railroad Com?
pany is ready and anxious to do their part in
giving io the public good accommodatiops at
the Sumter depot.

DESOLATION.
A friend in Mt. Clio, whose wife is on a
two months visit to the low country, dolor?
ously epistolizes her (a la Jean Ingelow) as
follows:
I sit to-night iu our little room,
While the Tain falls soft o'er head;
The untrimmed lamp half dispels the gloom
And shows the mussed-np bed.
"Dan" and "Trip" asleep on some cast-off
clothes, r
Are snoring in dulcet tone;
While "Chiquita"?wabbles about on bis toes,
Gnawing a used up bone.
Ob dear wife! Oh fond wife!
Oh neatest housekeeper known!
Could you* see that room, you'd fret
and :fn>me,
And groan, and groan, and groan.
The table stands at my right band,
Spread for the evening meal;
Fries, segments of a leather band,
Biscuits of Bessemer steel,
A hunk of corn pone, underdone,
A fragment of bacon rare,
Coffee so weak it cannot pour,
This is the bill of fare.
Oh dear wife! Oh fond wife!
If you leave me longer alone,
You'll find your husband naught but
6 skin
And bone, and bone, and bone.

The lecture given by Rev. M. E. Broaddus
last Tuesday night was very fine, so I was
informed.
I read an article in your last issue signed
"Poor Farmer," and I was struck with
amazement to think that after expressing
such an unfavorable opinion of the merchants,
that Poor Farmer should run after them for
alien. First, .he wants amule, next corn,
then bacon, shoes and clothing for his family.
What! a farmer buying corn and bacon 1
What has he been doing all through the year?
Why has he not spent the winter, while other
farm work was necessarily suspended, in
hauliog litter and making home-made ferti?
lizers, hauling muck, digging up stumps,
and putting in a good crop of oats. Of
course this would take away the privilege of
spending several days each week visiting, of
idling on Saturday?, of taking a fishing or
hunting bout every few days, but it would
result in having corn in his barn, meat in his
smoke house and money in his pocket.
Does Poor Farmer ever think that the mer?
chant himself because of the tremendous ex
tent of credit business, has mortgaged every?
thing, even to the house that shelters his
wife and children, and after be does all he
can, that the Poor Farmer goes home, fiddles
away bis time, makes nothing, lets bis mule
starve and then when pay day comes charges
his failure to God, because He sent no rain,
or because He sent too much*") and the poor
merckant has to bear the brunt of the loss?
Now I do not write this for controversy, but
intend it as a sort of looking glass in which
Poor Farmer can see both sides of the ques?
tion. I am a farmer myself and have tried
merchandising long enough to see both sides
of the question, and. think it very unjust to
the merchants that they should bear the
blame for the farmers' blunders.
