Rowland was insured ia the Mu tual Self Endowment and Benevolent Associa tion of America for $1,000. His was the sec ond death in the Atlantic Department of this Association. An alarm of fire last Wednesday evening, . just before 9 o'clock, called out the fire de partment with a rush, but they found nothing to fight?one of Mr. Bogin's chimneys having a little frolic of its own. Mackey's sprinkler is a regular institution on Main and Liberty Streets. There is but one fault to find?there i3 not enough of it. Two carts would Keep tbe business portion of town in very nice condition. The attention of our lady readers having dressmaking work to put out is directed to the notice of Mr3'. Flowers. She has given up her place of business on Main Street, and can be fourfd hereafter at her' residence. The Municipal authorities are still engaged in the praiseworthy undertaking of clearing the streets of weeds, as well as other varmints. The Chief of Police told us that he had killed at least a dozen snakes up to that time, hid den in tbe weeds. Hon. H.

Our county friends were conspicuously absent, engaged in more important business. Flour. Capt. J. E. Atkins brought us a generous sample of fiour made at the Salem Mills, which ranks as first grade family flour. He says his machinery is in good order and is turning out good flour every day.

A note from Mr T. M. DeLorme, Secretary and Treasurer of the Survivors' Association, Co. TX, 2nd S. C- V., informs us that the Survivors who attend the meeting at Bind ing's Mill, 15th instant, will be expected to bring baskets with them, well filled. The members will take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. Examination of Teachers. At the semi-annual examination of teachers held last week there were eleven whites on Thursday. Friday the office was crowded, and twenty-seven colored teachers were ex amined. The Board of Examiners bave not yet completed an examination of the papers, but we think there is a large per cent, of failures. Some Grass. A friend of ours tells of a new way for cleansing his cotton. He said It was so grassy that the upper crust of the soil was a perfect net-work of grass roots, and the hands by loosing the ends of the row properly could catch hold of the mat and peel off the grass crust like one could the skin off an orange. He did not swear to the truth of it. The Crops. Reports from all parts of the County are good. The rains we believe have been gen eral, while there has been sufficient clear weather to get rid of the grass. Those who prepared their lands properly, and have work ed the crops well have every assurance of a fine return, but faulty preparation and neg ligent work insure as bad crops this year as usual. Lengthy Letters. Our correspondent UC" gives us all some good advice to-day. He touches upon a fault that is so easy to commit, that even he, while condemning, falls into it himself?we refer to lengthy communications. Some subjects re quire length, but the majority of letters shou ld be sboit. Of course it requires more effort to write what one wishes to say on one page, than on half a dozen, but after being written it is worth far more than the diffuse matter. Wheat. Capt. Atkins, of Mayesville, tells us of Ins fine wheat which, has cost him less than 50 cents per bushel. A gentleman who farms and does not play at it, says the expense of ] planting, cutting and threshing ten acres of j wheat which yielded him from 15 to 18 bush els per acre, was so small as to be hardly ap preciable. Our readers will see what "L," our Bishopville correspondent, says of some farmers in that prosperous section. We have heard of fine yie!c3 from others and we be- j lieve that Su rater County can raise the greater I portion of the flour needed, without seriously interfering with the regulation cotton crop. mmm ?? ? Otir Bank. Eighteen months ago, the National Bank Of | Snmter commenced its work. Its capital was small, and the croakers all felt sure of its fail are. It is possible that some of them are yet listening for news of its closing, but they lis ten in vain. Commencing business last year when business was unusually depressed it has shown in every report a wonderful vitality, and energy. In the Statement made the last week in June, it reports $8,601.64 total net profits, (over 17 per cent.) of which $5,500 have been paid as dividends to the stockholders, $2,000 is held a3 a surplus, ?1,101.64 are on hand as undivided profits. The National Bank of Sumter is on as firm a business foundation as any enterprise in the State. The Reformed Methodist Union Church. Rev. C. R. Andrews, colored, called on us to-day and gave a brief history of the above named church, which was organized at a meeting of delegates held in Charleston, Jan uary last. He was one of the delegates, and was ordained at that time and sent as a Mis sionary to the Counties of Clarendon and Sumter, where he is organizing churches wherever an opportunity offers. It is his policy to go only where he is invited, and not to push bis church where it is not want ed. He organized a church last Sunday near Mr. J. M. Tiodall's, with a membership of 25, all of tbem from the two A. M. E. Churches of St. James and Legare, and is meeting with considerable success elsewhere. As our col ored readers know, the Reformed Church is looming op as a rival to the A. M. E/s and a considerable defection has already appeared in the ranks of the latter. Rev. Andrews' j address is Sumter and he will be glad to at j tend any call that may come to him from any ! I part of Sumter or Clarendon. Southern Cultivator for July. j The advent of July brings to our table that j old and standard publication, The Southern ' Cultivator, for the current month. While it has seemed in the past not possible to improve it, the varied and valuable table of contents of the present number is conclusive evidence of its improvement. Its readers can bat ap prove of its present get up and make up. They will find valuable suggestions and infor mation in "Thoughts for the Month." It is not possible, in the limits of a newspaper article, to enumerate the large number of arti cles of marked interest and decided import ance. Every department is full, while the editorial department shows a freshness and vigor that commend it to the thoughtful and progressive reader. To be appreciated, The Cultivator must be read ; if it is read it cannot fail of being appreciated. We urge it as a matter of self-interest that every reader of our journal send $1 50 to Jas. P. Harrison, busi ness Manager Cultivator Publishing Compa ny, Atlanta, Ga., for a year's subscription, or if they prefer we will send our paper and The Cultivator one year for S3 35. Parties sending $1.75 to Jas. P. Harrison, Business Manager of the Cultivator Publish ing Company, Atlanta, Ga., will receive for one year The Cultivator and The Southern Wor'ldx an industrial and family journal. That Agricultural Essay. Some months ago, in the exub?rance of our zeal for the agricultural interest of the Coun ty, we promised to astonish the country and immortalize ourself by writing an essay on farming that would tell all aboutit; and some of our correspondents are disposed to poke fun at us for not doing so. Well, that essay has not been written. We very much fear it never will be. In fact that which seen at a distance looked so easy of accomplishment, has, upon a nearer view assumed a most for bidding aspect and we tremble when the task is contemplated. The Smithville Excursion. SMITI?VILLE, N. C, July 4, 1885. An account of a pleasure trip being always acceptable reading, I will endeavor to give your readers a report of the recent excursion to this place, which left Sumter on last Wed nesday night. There were about sixty tickets sold, and the party was composed, as far as I have been able to learn, of the following per sons from the town, besides whom there were a number from the country whose names I did not learn : Alramont Hoses, H. Ryttenberg, H. Schwerin, A. J. Moses, and their families, Mrs. A. D. Moses and children, Miss M. Harby Mrs. 0. H. and Miss Carrie Moses, Mrs. W. D. Blanding and children, Mrs. Henry Harby, and child, Alex Morris and sister, Sheriff Sanders, Alva Solomons, Rev. C. C. Brown, Misses Walsh, Miss Wessie Roach, and your Correspondent. The trip from Sumter to Florence was un der the care of Capt. Choate, one of the most courteous conductors on the road, and bar ring the delay of about three hours at Flor ence, there was nothing to cause complaint. About nine o'clock Thursday morning we arrived in Wilmington and in a few minutes after the party were safely aboard the Pass port, which was in waiting for us at the R. R. Wharf, but a short distance from the train. The Passport and its polite and obliging commander, Capt. Harper are both so well known to your readers that I need not take up space in any remarks further than to say they fully sustained their reputation. The trip down the river was really delight ful. A strong breeze was blowing, which, with the absence of dost and smoke, was just the thing to brace us up after a tedious night's ride on the cars. A band of Italian harpers with the sweetest of music, beguiled our drooping spirits, and when about midday we reached our destination we were in good trim for whatever might present itself. The larger ruimber of the party went to the Hotel Brunswick, where they were welcomed by the proprietor Dr. Curtis, and hi3 oblig ing assistant, Mr. M. S. Anderson. The others went to different private boarding houses of which there are a number?some very conveniently located. While the proprietor, Dr. Curtis, lives in the house and unites in looking after the pleasure and comfort of the guests, the Hotel is under the eutire management of Mr. An derson, who seems to understand his business, and everything moves as if regulated by clock work. The Brunswick is certainly well kept, and those who go there for comfort and pleasure will find no cause for complaint of either the management, the fare or the at tendants. Smithville is so delightfully situated, for the sea breeze, for bathing, both surf and still-water, for boating and fishing, that it justly ranks among the best of seaside resorts. Not the least of its attractions is the entire absence of mosquitos, and an abundance of good shade. In connection with the Hotel is a spacious Pavilion, built over the water, where the attractions of music and dancing for those who wish that kind of enjoyment, are dispensed regularly. The citizens of Wilmington patronize Smithville throughout the season, and those who come here for pleasure will alwavs fiud p?eaoty of lively company. Our excursionists are having a good time generally, and some of them speak of staying until theS. L. I. come down next month. We were joined at Florence by Mr. Sulz bacherand eight or ten others from Darling ton. To all who Avant a pleasure trip somewhere and have not made up their minds where to go, I would say Smithville offers as much if not more for the money than anywhere I know of. C. P. 0. Lynehburg Items. LYNCHBURG, S. C. July 6, 1885. Mr. Editor: The following question: ''What constitutes a dude?" has undergone much discussion the past week. The diversity of opinions were so great that it would be a difficult task to even attempt to draw a con clusion from the qualit?s claimed to be essen tial, by those who took part in the discussion. However, I abstracted the following from the different views which I will take the liberty of presenting to you. He must be tall and bandy-legged, with an abnormal amount of self conceit, a nose well developed and with a power of turning up, possessed only by an elephant's snout, a dignity equal to that of a blind cur in a meat bouse, and with a display of politeness which requires him, when meet ing a lady, to flourish his hat like be was waving a banner in honor of Cleveland's election. What do you think about it? The fourth passed off very quietly here, not a single flag was waved, nor an anvil shot ; and we did not have even a pic nie. So you may imagine Mr. Editor that, we had a dull day of it. Some of our citizens determined to enjoy themselves, and went ten mile3 to a pic nie in the neighborhood of Crooked Branch. They report having bad a fine time, plenty to eat and one drunk man to make a fool of himself. We were favored with a light shower of rain on last Saturday, and were blessed with a heavier one on yesterday. This is the first rain of any consequence that we have had in about four weeks, and it was much needed, as cotton and corn had began to wilt and ' turn yellow, but it is hoped that it will soon re vive, and fulfill the flattering expectations maintained a tew weeks ago. A party of white and colored people caught one hundred pounds of ''mud fish" one day last week out of a small water hole in the back swampa of Lynches River. Pretty good, but I believe I had rather be a "stump sucker" than a mud sucker. The lein busiuess lias ceased to some extent, arid the darkies are now seen perambulating the country with axe ou shoulder and sack under arm looking fur work. Prof. J. P. Gibbs, bite principal of the Lynehburg Academy, has departed from our midst. Mr. Gibbs is a clever gentieman, and we all regretted very much to loose his jovial presence, though the best of friends muat part. j Mr. Len Lane, who lives near this place, ! and Mi?s Fountain of Darlington Couuty, ! were married last Wednesday evening, in the I Baptist Church at C.irtersviile. The bridal ' presents were numerous and haudsome. May I their union be long and happy. ! Mrs. Khame, nee Miss Mcluioth, wife of Mr. ! John C. Rbaine, died of consomption, last I Tuesdav, and was buried on Thursday at the I Lynehburg Presbyterian Church. Mrs. ! Rhame leaves a family of small children, and many frieudJ to mouru her lors. Zkb. ..-?wo-.^ - mrrn Dyspepsia Can be Cured. There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as dyspepsia or iudigcsiion, and one too, tha? 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, occasional}' nausea nnd vomit ing, acidity, flatulence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirit:?, sleepless ness, sallow skin, derangemc nt of kidneys, and not uofrequently palpitation of the heart. If you are suffering with any of these symp toms DR. HOLT'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR Will Cure you. For sale by Dr. A. J.China. Physicians are invited to call and see formula. Mayesville Items. MAYESVILLE, S. C, July C, 1S35. Mr. Editor: Mayesville is quiet and hearty, though some folks think there is trouble ahead since a Deputy ?. S. Marshal has been seen looking around. In a bnggy ride lust week I saw some fine crops. Messrs. Willie, Walter and Hugh Wilson, Messrs. W. E. and Leighton Mills and Mr. Henry Wells, all have reason to be satisfied with their outlook. In a trip aiound from Wells X Roads to Lynchburg and back to Mayesville by Mr. Lowry's, I saw but one grassy field. No one was work ing in it but I saw a red ox tied to a stump. I suppose its owner bad gone to "T s" plum orchard to fill up. The crops around Mayesville are very good. Mr. J. E. Mayes has a hundred acres of cot ton that leads the County. Messrs. T. A. aud J. R. Mayes also have fine cotton and in good condition. I can't nnderstand why "Qui Vive" asks me about the blue corn ; he sold the man the seed and ought to know all about it. Mr. F. J. Mayes is having a neat addition put to his drug store, which will add to the attractions of Lafayette Street. The annual concert of Miss Carrie Mayes' music scholars came off at the hospitable res idence of Mr. A. A. Strauss last night. Tfce performances were highly interesting, and greatly to the credit of the accomplished in structress. Some of the singing and nearly all of the instrumental pieces were given with great taste and accuracy. After the perform ance, the genial host, in a little speech of welcome, bade his guests to enjoy them selves; which they did to the letter. The motto was music, moonlight, love and flow ers, and the young folks had a huge time. Capital songs were given by Miss Lulu Suder of your Town, Capt. H. D. Corbett aud others. The guests dispersed about midnight and the occasion was much enjoyed by all the participants. Capt. J. F. Bland, wife and children left here for Smithville, N. C, Saturday night. Miss Towncs ha3 returned to ber home ;rt Greenville. DUG GAN. Privateer Items. PRIVATEER, S. C., July 4,' 1885. Mr. Editor : There has not been anything to write about for some time, and if there had been your correspondent has not had time to chronicle it. There was a great deal of sickness during late spring and early summer, several deaths resultiug. The sickness, with rather too much rain, and late cool weather, gare the grass the start of the crops, and farmers have had a hard pull to get through. But now the most of us are where we can see daylight. With a good rain now, the crop prospects would be very fair, but for some time back they have been very gloomy. We have only seen two fields of good cot ton. Dr. Furman's 6eld of 14 acres, and Mr. J Geddings, who lives at the old Bradford place has six or eight acres of fine cotton. Dr. Furmau has 45 acres oT later cotton that looks very pretty. I Have beard that Mr. Joe Tisda?e carried a load of watermelons to town yesterday. Down here we don't expect melons just yet. Mr. McDonald Furman has returned from the S. C. College. Mr. Frank Beckham is expected home to day from the H. CC I. of Charleston. Mr. John Furman spent a day at home this week ; he was on his way to New York. Yen can say to one of your correspondents who thinks Dew has been dried up by the hot sun, that Dew has been holding a cradle and a hoe until he sometimes thought they were a part of his anatomy. There are few things Dew likes better than to get iuto a field of heavy oats waist high aod with bis trusty cradle throw down a bundle of oats at every swing of the cradle?6 a minute, 360 an hour ?a.half acre. No, Mr. Editor, Dew has not melted, but Tuesday, the 23rd alt, came pretty near it. The above scribbling shows that his hands are more accustomed to hold the hoe handle than the pen. You, Mr. Editor, have reason to be thank ful that he has not indicted upon you the task of reading Egyptian hyeroglyphics during the warm weather. Your numerous scribblers have caused yon to use all of your ' cuss words" or else they have lain up in the shade. DEW. Roush on Rats' clears out Rats. Mice. 15c.

IN G FOW DEB Co., l?? Wallst., N. Y. Bishop ville Items. BTSnOPVJLLE, S. C. July 2, 1835. Mr. Editor : For ihe last three days the weather has be>m remarkably cool for July. Fire in the morning is pleasant, and cover at night quite necessary for comfort. Cotton is not doing so well since the cool weather commenced. Corn doesn't seem to be hurt in the least. A good rain and hot sunshine would be beneficial both to the crops and the health of the people. Sickness and death are slill in our midst Mrs. Susan E. Barrett died last Sunday and was buried on the day following at the Pied mont Baptist Church. Her funernl services were conducted by the Rev. Wm. 0. Petty, pastor of said church. One of Mr. Preston Floyd's children died on Tuesday last, and another was not expected to live. Miss Mamie Rodgers, I hear, is quite ill. Mr. Spencer and Walter James, Misses An nie James and Leila Melton aro at home from school. Miss Annie James graduated at Greenville Female College with honors. The Misses Thomas from Florida, but re cently from Mrs. Browne's school in Suinter, are visiting relatives in this neighborhood. But for the protest of ill health, we might be enjoying most of the good things of ibis life in the way of edibles. Gardens are full of t,be choicest vegetables, black and buckle berries are pleutifol, eariy peaches and ap ples are ripening, watermolons ditto; all of which aie to be had for the gathering, by all who have made the necessary effort in the past, to provide for the present and future, by setting out orchards, planting gardens, melons, &c. With good new home raised fiour, plenty of lard to season it with, bacon and hams plentiful iu the smoke house, and "holding on to a cow's tail with one hand," who will say a farmer can't live in this coun try, whether he has credit abroad or not. "Nominations being in order" I hereby nominate Mr. T., of Wedgefield, as a proper advocate of Farmers rights and privileges, and for what else Mr. T. ? . Rain has fallen generally and in abun dance. The apparent injury done cotton by cool weather has been blotted out by the good seasons, and warm sunshine, which have fol lowed. Crops, human hopes and expecta tions are now booming. Rev. W. A. Gregg has three acres of corn land from which he gathered one hundred bushels of corn last year, and be thinks the corn on same better than last. Some of the corn stalks measure fourteen feet in height. Messrs. Oliver and A. C. Durant had their crops of wheat threshed and it averaged about fifteen bushels per acre. Some oats in this section made 35 bushels per acre. L. Hard Times. While money is close, wages and prices low, expenses should be cut down in every house hold.

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 kidneys or neigh boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi gestion are present, fiatuleucy, 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 the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upou the parts aCfected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.
