The compositor turned the name of the well known Solicitor, Sim Fair into Jim Fair, last week in J. D. B.'s article. He did not mean it. Isn't it hot? Some of the farmers who were sighing over the cool nights of last week are doubtless satisfied with the present torrid temperature. A nice little runaway happened on Mill Street last week. One lamp was smsbed, and % wagon dislocated, but the damages were not serions. The M t. Pisgah A.M. E. Sunday School will gire a calico festival at the Armory Hall to-morrow evening.

A young man in town bas received a com munication from a Camden base ballisi asking if a contest could not be arranged between clubs of the respective Counties. Why not? Our Hagood correspondent made some sugges tions in that line some weeks ago, which if carried out wanld afford much pleasure to tbe lovers of the game. Henry W. Mackey Has organized a sprinkling cart, and is trying to lay the dost in the street. This is a most praise-worthy undertaking and. as he is not doing it for fan but to make money, be wants pay for it. In looking over the names on his subscription list we see nearly every firm on Main Street represented, and we have no doubt that those who have not subscribed will do so as scon as they ascertain whether or not the sprinkler is a success.

The Directors of the Sumter Cotton Mills held an important meeting yesterday, at which, among other things, they increased the capital stock $20,000. A large portion of this increase was taken up by the members present, and it is believed that all of it will soon be sabscri bed. It is the intention of the Directors to put in one more section of ma chinery. We are glad to chronicle this act on the part of those who best know the work ing of the Factory. It shows in the strongest possible manner that they have abounding confidence in its fatare prosperity. A Word to the Wise, Etc ! Tax Payer. Town of Sumter! Have you made your returns yet ?

A ride through a portion of Concord Town ship last week gave us a glimpse of a varied assortment of grass, and some very fi ne crops. The corn was down on the swamp and out of j sight but was said tobe good. Most of the cotton on the road was' well worked and looked well. The Messrs. Jones bare fine cot ton. Mr. J. I. Brogdon could brag over his crop if be were not so modest. Mr. J. G. White has bis crop in fine order, as he always has; Mr. Wilder's also Jook.-^ well. The farmers are complaining of too much rain, and are sighing for dry weather. Oar friends dcwn that way all seem to be-v lieve in the utility of geese in working cotton ?almost every Seid having a large bunch. One gentleman, however, said that since tbe rains had given the grass such a start his geese had become thoroughly demoralized, and had stopped work, evidently believing it a waste of time. Inquest, A colored infant child in Concord Town ship was found dead in bed, Monday morn ing, 8th instaut. Its death was supposed to fcave been caused by being overlaid by its mother, and it was buried near by. Friday afternoon the Coroner was informed of the occurence and be visited the neighborhood to ascertain the facts, and from the neighborhood talk, it was evident that some foul play was suspected. He therefore held an inquest Sat urday which resulted in the verdict of acci dental death. We will say jor,t bere that the burial of a body, where death has occurred from other than natural causes, is a violation of law, arrd subjects all engaged in this violation :o indictment, aad there has been so much indif ference to the law in thi3 particular that we think the Coroner will be compelled to bring such violators of law to punishment. Those who know better ought to inform their more ignorant neighbors in this matter, and thus save a heavy expense to the County. Thanks for a nicely gotten up card of invi tation to tbe Anniversary celebration of tbe Thompson Literary Society, which is connect ed with the Manning Academy.

Seven sweet girl graduates will be sent fortb from their Alma Mater; but we can teli more about them next week. W. C- Benet. Esq., of Abbeville, will de liver the address to the school and graduates.

All communications intended for publica tion must be accompaniea vvith the name of the writer. Some of our correspondents neglect this important item and hence the employment of a waste basket?or a waste box, aj one of our correspondents calls it. One of Our Needs. The Court ITouse Square needs work, and we think it ought to have it. Standing in the Post Office last Wednesday morning while the heavy rain storm was falling, every path leading out to Main Street was flooded. There was no possible chance of getting to the street dry shod, and it occurred to us then that some improvements might be made by the County Commissioners which would add to the appearance and convenience of that square. A friend standing by suggested that a raised side walk commencing at the Bank should rundown the South side of the square, an other should pass in front of the Post Office, while the necessary one should lead directly out to the street. We will make no suggstions how it shall be done, as we are perfectly willing to leave that to the Commissioners. It is very evident that raised walks leading from the street to the various offices in the square are badly needed. While talking about the square we will again refer to the great need of a well in the rear of the Court House. It is needed as a fire well, and also as a supply for drinking waterl We suppose the Town Council wonld. meet the expense of such a well, as the Com missioners would have nothing more to do with it than giving their consent. The Normal. We would call the attention of teachers to the notice of the Normal Institute which meets in Charleston Jnly 2Jst proximo. The rates of travel are cheap and every teacher who can de so should attend. Winburu made eome nice photos last week, and can make more this week. The Local Paper. The following from the Keowee Covrier is good reading : "You may be able to get a large city week ly, filled with murders, scandal cases, cock fights, etc., for the same money that you pay for your local paper, or less, bat these city weeklies never advertize your county and make your property valuable. They do not help along your schools and churches ; they say nothing of you and have, no interest in yon. A local paper is a great advantage to any town or community. Stand by your home paper, for it is ever on the lookout for your interest." Nettles' Barber Shop is very comfortably arranged in his new stand, and he cannot be excelled in the attention he gives his patrons. - ? i mm Dunlap's "Champion" Stylographic Pen. A person who has never used a Stylo graphic Pen, cannot possibly know its value or convenience, or he would certainly pro cure one at any price. We have used a Pen, presented to us by Mr. L. E. Dunlap, of Bos ton, Mass., for over two years, and we now intend to send for one of the/ new "Cham pion" Pens recently patented by Mr. Dunlap, as we are advised that it contains valuable improvements; one of the improvements being a compound spiral spring formed from a tube of hard rubber, while other Stylo graphic Pens have fine gold wire or metalic springs, which soon rot and corrode. This newly invented Pen is unanimously endorsed by the trade as giving perfect satis faction to their customers, and maay say, it is the only Strlographic Pen worth having at any price. * In order to snccessfully introduce to the public this new and valuable Pen, the manu fatta rers, Dunlap Stylograph Co., 296 Wash ington Street, Boston, Mass., offer (for a short time only) to send by return mail, to any address in the U. S., a Champion Pen, 6 months supply of ink, and a beautiful gold mounted pencil, on receipt of tbe price of the Pen, which is $2.00 each for plain, and $2.50 each for gold mounted. The Champion Pen is the same io style and finish as' Pens sold everywhere at $3.50 and $4.00. I James Clements, a conductor on the Tybce Island Railroad, while leaning from the plat form of a backing train, June 14tb, was struck by a tree standing close to the track and instantly killed. Can Be Had if Wanted. "Haveyou any malaria here?" asked a lady who was looking at a rural boarding place for her family. "We1!," said the land lady, "we hain't got none jist now; folks haven't asked for it; but we'll get it for your family if you want it." Most folks get mala ria without wanting it. To get rid of its nox ious effects, use Brown's Iron Bitters. Mrs. S- R. MacDonald, New Haven, Conn.', says, "I suffered from malaria for nearly six year3. Brown's Iron Bitters cured me completely."

C.; June 14, 1S85. Mr. Editor: We have nn abundance of refreshing showers and warm weather. A buggy ride around Mayesville showed me some fine crops ;n pretty good condition. Messrs. F. J. Maye?, Harry Corhett and J. E. Atkins on this side of Black River and Mr. W. D. Rhodes on tbe other have crops that are very good. Can't ''Poor Farmer" com? over and take a bird's-eye-view of* our crops? He might see something that will please him. Our sick folks are getting on very well, though several colored people have recently died. Dr. L. G. Corbett and his entire family were taken suddenly ill last Saturday?it is supposed from poison. The cook was affected in a similar way, so that it is hardly suppo sab?e that she had anything to do with it. I am glad to say they have all recovered. Mr. J. E. Brunson and family are visiting the family of Dr. J. A. Mayes. Mr. Eriitor, those tiger skins which meu ioned in my last as having been sent off. have been stuffed and sent back. Too bad! too bad ! They are more vicious in their dispo sition than ever. One got loose Tuesday night and reared around extensively nntil collared and led off by one of the officials. There is one coon and two tigers in den nnm ber three, and they are of the mixed breed. Some persons have become jffended at tbe expression "mixed breed," so will explain. Mixed breed consists of whiskey, turpentine, tobacco juice and some other ingredients. One party got angry because he thinks I said one of the mixed breed fell out of thechimney. I don't think it reads that way ; but even if I had said so, it would have been true for it w as half negro and halfbuckra. The of fended man got mad for nothing, and if he had not advertised himself no one would have known that he was in the crowd. Please tell J. F. M., that I will answei his question next week. I have already written so mncb that. I am afraid the Watchman and Souihron man will get mad with me and I don't Wiitit to quarrel with him.

The Greenville ?cics, we think, ad ministers a deserved rebuke to Congress man Dibble for the unbecoming man oer in which he recently treated Mayor Courte nay. The action of Mr. Dibble does Dot sound to us like the manners of a dignified and honored Congressman. We leave it for others to say if it does not sound more like the manners of a certain class of newspaper scribblers who, in the absence of the necessary ability to meet an adversary in a manly and honorable discussion, may be com pelled to resort to cowardly insinuations or to the utterance of baseless assertions in a shameless attempt to substitute braggadocia for argument, and who may perforce act naturally the role of the bully, rather than to make the effort to assume the character and manners of the dignified and courteous gentleman. Cure for Piles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the. kidneye or neigh boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi gestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira tion, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to tbe application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that up to the present time, has baffled the skill of the most eminent Physicians. Two-thirds of the chronic diseases have their origin in dys pepsia. The symptons are loss of appetite, loss of flesh, a feeling of fullness or weight in the stomach, occasionally nausea and vomit ing, acidity, flatulence, "dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless ness, sallow skin, deranpement of kidneys, and not unfrequcnily palpitation of the heart.

Well, it doesn't. Bat it does cure any disease tot which a reputable physician would prescribe IROS Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative agent known to the profession, and inouiry of any leading chemical firm w?l substantiate the assertion that there are more preparations of iron than of any other substance used in medicine This shows con dab, rely that iron is acknowlec&od to bo the moet important factor in successful medical practice. It is, however, a remarkable fact, that prior to the discov ery of BROWN'S IKON LSlTTERSnoperfect ly satisfactory iron combination had ever been found.
