That's Better.
The Court House Square is undergoing im

have made raised walks across it, and the
necessity of wading is done away with. Now,
if they will bire a few cows to keep in there

Miss Nellie Moore died Sunday afternoon,

cerely sympathise with the bereaved parents
and friends.
Mr. T. J. Coghlan died last Wednesday
"night, S instant, after a long though painless
illness, in the 83d year of his age. - ,1
He could claim no laod as his birth pla?e,
for he first saw light while his parents were
crossing the broad Atlantic, on their way to
America.
About sixty years of his long life has been
spent in Snmter, having been a resident for a
longer period, perhaps with one exception,
Sthan any one now living here.
??e was always closely identified with the
working classes, and possessed tremendous
energy aad industry. His own special trade,
in which be did much personal work, was
black smithing ; and at one time he enlarged
his business and ran a foundry tor some
years. He was almost a pioneer in the steam
saw mill business in Sumter County, having
run the first, we think, that was ever erected
near Sumter. Some years ago he interested
himself in an <?ffort to run street cars in the
Town and laid a<ram way from the depot for
a considerable distance np Main Street, when
the project was abandoned. He served as
Intendant of the Town "for one term, and was
Warden several times, and for years has been
one of the most prominent land marks in
Sumter.
Mr. Coghland was for many years, and up
to his death a most determined foe to whis
key drinking, and any movevi favor of tem
perance found in him a wanoidvocate. He
was also a generous man, anVhis heart was
ever open to the "distress call.V
After the war, he joined thvRepublican
party, and was a prominent lead?k receiving
the highest County offices witbioAhe gift of
tbe party, having been Senatorj^easurer
and Sheriff at Tarions times.

No one, in Sumter at least, can grumble for

day and last night, and from the appearance
of the clouds, it must have been general.
That Crossing.
Where? Between the north alley way of
the Market and the Court House. There is
not a more needed crossing io town, or one
that would be more used. Give it to us
please ye City Fathers..

Attention
To the Ordinance we publish to-day. Our
City Fathers have been giving us more ordi
nances the past month than the average citi
zen can digest in a year, but it's all good
solid matter, and worth a careful perusal.
Crops in Shiloh.
Mr. Elias Chandler tells u3 that portions of
Shiloh suffered a good deal from a drouth
some weeks ago, and that corn is not first
class. Cotton, however, looks well where
it has been worked.
Greenville Military Institute.
We have received the Official Register of the
Greenville Military Institute and are glad to

Mr. Tracy Walsh, of Marion, represents
the Southern Copying Company, of Atlanta,

cheapest work of any House in the South.
Satisfaction is assured or no pay taken;
Mr. Walsh will bein Sumter for some weeks
taking orders, and will be found at the store
of Messrs. Bultman & Bro. He ha3 a beauti
ful lot of samples.
A Fine Residence.
We took advantage of an invitation from
Mr. C. E. Stnbbs, to inspect his new boose,
and feel sure that in convenience, comfort
and neatness, it is equal to any in town. The
contractor, Mr. J. B. Carr, has just "spread
himself," though the cultivated taste of Mrs.
Stubbs had much to do with the planning and
general arrangement, and especially in the
choice of colors which blend so delightfully
and produce so harmonizing an effect.
Night-Blooming Cereus.
We witnessed the slow unfolding of the
petals of this beautiful and fragrant flower,
last Wednesday night atCapt. W. R. Delgar's.
A number of persons called to see this timid
floral visitor which never can be seen by the
light of the Sou, and it was very beautiful.
While there we also examined some of as
beautiful specimens of wax-work as could be
imagined. Flowers, fruits, jelly?all so true
to nature that only by careful inspection could
tbe artificial be discovered.
These were the work of Miss Lillie De Igar.
Wedgefield.
A Watcltman and Southron representative
spent a pleasant day in Wedgefield last week
and saw many things worth telling but our
space is limited and we can not say much.
Of course, crops are good. Wedgefield
always comes to the front there. Messrs.
Thomas and McCotchen have possibly as fine
cotton as ever grew in the County ; while Dr.
McLaurin's corn is equally good. Mr. Ay
cock's crop looks splendid, though he does
not think it as far advanced as last year. He
is still improving bis farm and be is now
putting in cypress posts azd fencing cut by
Mr. J. E. Brunson at the Black River Mills.
We met Messrs. William and Eugene Ay
cock, who are just home from Bingham High
School. The former is Cadet Captian : and
tbey stand respectively first and second on
the roll of proficients.
Wedgefield is surrounded by a superb
farming country, while the adjacent swamps
afford pasturage for thousands of cattle and
hogs.
A Correction?Bishopville Items.
BISHOPVILLE, S. C, July 13, 1885.
Mr. Editor: Is it not expected of regular cor
respondents reporting items from the commu
nities in which they live to always be correct
and if there is any doubt entertained to so ex
press it? (for instance,by adding as is the custom
ofoneof your correspondents, "so I hear." ) The
following extract is taken from "L.'s" com
munication, in last week's issue of the W.
and S. : "Misses Annie James and Leila Mel
ton are at home from school. Miss Annie
James graduated at Greenville Female Col
lege with honors." True in reference to Miss
James. But Miss Melton has not been to
school since she was graduated?and with
distinction too?at the Columbia Female
College in the class of 1884.
Farmers in this vicinity have abundant
reason for thanksgiving. I have been en
gaged in farming for several years, and have
observed tbe seasons very closely, but do not
remember ever to have seen such propitious
ones as we bave had the present year. In
consequence of which crops that bave been
manured and well cultivated are fine. Tbe
corn crop of this neighborhood is generally
very good, but that of Dr. R. Y. McLeod de
serves special mention, he having twenty
acres from wbicb, at a low estimate, he ex
pects to gather 500. _
Misses Ella and Florence Workman of
Camden are visiting friends in Bishopville.
Hope to hear from Catchall again though
the medium of your paper- I enjoyed C.'s
criticisms very much. OCCASIONAL.
A Colored High School.
We are glad to see that the negro is learn
ing to depend somewhat upon himself in the
important matter of education, and to know
that he has some responsibility in giving
mental training to the children of his race.
The following article shows that, at least
in Sumter County, they are taking a step in
the right direction;
Mr. Editor;
Please allow us place in your valuable pa
per for the following article which we hope
will be of some interest to the public;
At a District SandaySchool Convention held
at Mayesville, for the Sumter District, under
the auspices of the Columbia Annual Confer
ence of the A. M. E. Church, there was con
sidered, among other things, the all-impor
tant subject?education. A committee hav
ing beeu appointed on the subject, submitted
the following as their report, which was re
ceived and adopted, and by a vote of the Con
vention, was ordered to be sent to the local
papers of Sumter County and to the Christain
Recorder of the A. M. E. Church for publica
tion. It was also agreed at this Convention,
to establish a District School to be located at
the town of Sumter, S. C, under the auspices
of the Sumter District Conference, for prepar
ing the ycuth of the District for future useful
ness, and to enable snch as may desire to en
ter College, who bave neither the time nor
the means to do so, to enter preparatory De
partments and then take themselves through
College. The Trustees hare been appointed
and they hope to have the School in operation
by October next.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCA
TION.
M?testille, S. C, June 26, 1885.
Mr. President and Erethren of the Sunday
School Convention.
There is no question of greater importance
than that of education. No nation or people
can rise in the scale of eminence who neglect
this essential qualification. It is a power over
ignorance, and the torch-light that dispels the
dark shadows of degradation and vice. Mind
isprogressive and aggressive. It takes all of
sc:enee to develop all of man. Ood has made
man capable of harnessing engines of science
as a meaos o? decmr^g^Ttr-tbf world the
patent powers of his mind, and the to?1JSho
negTSrtft^oput forth every energy to accoH>
plish theTgre?V?M'^UlLs being, frustrates ?bA
grand purposes of hisMaker, and is worse
than an infidel.
Mental culture, like that of the plant, re
quires early training. Children at a very
early period, before even they acquire a
knowledge of the alphabet of a language, are
capable of receiving a very considerable
amount of mental instruction. The term ed
ucation, as it is generally accepted, is too cir
cumscribed. To educate is to draw forth, to
develop the power of the mind. It is there
fore a life-work, a continual application of its
powers, a searching after truth. Too many
young ladies and men of the day allow them
selves to be satisfied with the acquisition of
mere rudiments, flattering themselves with
having walked a college floor, and so become
dwarfed in their intellectual capacity and
progress. We mast discourage this false esti
mate wherever we find it, if we would have
men to go forward.
"A little learning is a dangerous thing,
Drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring.
Its shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
But drinking largely sobers it again."
We are largely responsible for the training
of our youth. Time is fleeting and the facil
ities of education are few, in comparison with
the fast growing numbers of our people. We
are called upon this day to do our duty and
our whole duty ! 1 The system- of 3 or 4
months schoolingby the Stateandthe unsight
ly pens which are furnished as school houses,
declare more loudly than ever that the negro in
obtaining an education mnst depend toa great
extent upon his own efforts than he has in the
past.
The resolution read before the District
Conference this day on the subject of provid
ing a District School ought to engage the nn
divided attention of this body and be effective
ly worked upon until established, and if n?
other work were done, this Convention will
have accomplished ihe grandest work within
its borders. Respectfully submitted. James

A Miracle.
Wedgefield, S. C, July 11, 1885.
Mr. Ed?or : I have heretofore set it down
as one of the wonders of God, that in all the
world, with its teeming millions of inhabi
tants, no two person look alike, no two think
alike and no two can possibly express them
selves on any given subject in the same words*
The substance may be the same, but the
words, tone and manner of expression will
differ. I have always looked upon this as one
of the many proofs of the divine wisdom of
our Creator ; for if many looked, spoke and
wrote alike, society would at once be thrown
into inextricable confusion, domestic life up
rooted, business transactions unsafe and the
administration of law impossible.
In your issue of June 30th you published
under head of "Agricultural Organizations"
a communication from Stateburg, signed D .
This article was written by request of Col.
Butler for publication in the paper issued by
the Agricultural Department. The author
read the communication to me before it was
quite finished, and before it was sent to press.
Now ?n your last issue you repoblish from the
"Edgefield Advertiser1 ' under the head of
"Organization is Power" the identical lan
guage, word for word, without the^slightest
hint of a quotation. How do you account
for this, overthrow of all my previous thoughts
upon the wisdom of the Almighty in never
permitting two persons in different parts of
the State to write exactly alike, word for
word. If the editor of the Edgefield Advertiser
did not plagiarize, he performed a greater mira
cle than turning water into wine. You should
not fail in the interest of science to take note
of this wonderful wonder. XX.
[We are somewhat mystified ourself about
this thing. The week after D's article was
published, while looking over our exchanges
for clippings, we were pleased with the lead
ing editorial in the Edgefield Advertiser, and
while not recalling the words, saw that the
article was in. the same line of thought as
D's communication, and concluded to publish
it as an endorsement of D's views. When
the "proof was read we found it was the
same article, word for word. The form how
ever had been made up and we concluded to
let it go, intending to make an explanation
on the inside?which we failed to do.
In reference to the mistake made by the
Advertiser, we are confident it was accidental.
No one knows better than a printer bow ea:y
such mistakes creep in. Quotation marks and
credits bave a fatal proclivity for absenting
themselves when most needed, and we regret
the error a3 much on account of our Edgefield
friend as for ourselves. Ed. W. ?f S.]

The exhibit of this company was in compe

each of them having their good points. These
are about one-half the styles manufactured
by them.
Our readers, at least many of them, know
from practical use, the many good points of
these splendid vehicles. Mr. W. . Graham
has dealt largely with this company for sev

Providence Items.
PROVIDENCE, S. C., July G, 1885.
Nr. Editor: Tbe Mayfield Social Club met
at the residence of the late Col. R. L. Heric||
and had as pleasant a time as was anticipateci
Tbe special business of the occasion was the
election of officers. Maj. E. F. Burrows, the
President, in a pleasant little speech declined
to serve any longer as presiding officer, and
the foliowiog officers were elected for the en
suing season :
Mr. T. D. DaBose, President; Miss Emma
Colclough, Vice President ; Prof. J. P. Gibbes,
Secretary and Treasurer ; and the following
gentlemen and ladies as members of the Ex.
Committee: Maj. E. F. Burrows, Messrs. W.
S. Dinkins, A. S. Brown, J. E. Heriot, Mrs.
T. D. DuBose, Mrs. E. F. Burrows and Miss
Sallie Heriot. Prof. Gibbes added greatly to
tbe interest of the meeting by sketches from
his scrap book.
The colored people of this community were
much excited over the sudden and somewhat
suspicious death of a colored woman named
Siller Pegues, tbe 4th instant. Trial Justice
Dinkins held an inquest, and an autopsy by
Dr. DuBose showed that death resulted from
natural causes ; and a verdict was rendered
in accordance therewith. The song service
over tbe body of tbe dead woman lasted all
night and the hills around echoed and re
echoed to the vigorous melody from tbe pow
erful lungs of tbe mourners.
There were four deaths last week?all col
ored. One man buried his second wife within
ten months.
The crop prospects are still flattering, and
with continned seasons, our store bouses will
be filled with plenty.
It is cheering to eee tbe highly cultivated
fields of corn and cotton in tbe Bisbopville
section, of Messrs. Stuckey, Dixon, and II. A.
James, also the Messrs. YYoodards' are very
fine. Bishopville planters will be obliged to
pull down their barns and build greater, for
tbey have the finest upland corn I ever saw.
Mr. LaRocbe Heriot had a fine colt to run
away some time ago and snagged itself terri
bly. Isaac McLaughlin was called in and he
performed a skillful operation so successfully
that the colt is now recovering. I can con
fidently recommend him as a first class vet
erinary snrgeon.

Mr. Editor, there are too many agents in
our neighborhood. One came along the other
day, a book agent, bothering people with his
big umbrella open when it was neither rain
ing nor the sun shining. I remember some
time ago a fellow starting out as an agent for
Troe & Co., of Augusta, Me. He left home
early one cold morning with a package of pa
pers and chromos, riding a little friskey mule,
active as a cat, shy as a rabbit and with tbe
speed of a deer. He put in a good morning's
work, stopping at every turpentine still and
negro cabin on the road. He secured the
promise of one subscriber by midday, when
he stopped for dinner with a man who did
not have a stable. Tbe mule was tied to a
tree, and an earnest plea made for his paper,
but in vain, which was cut short by tbe news
that the mule was loose. A hurried dash, a
vista of vanishing heels and then a chase
through woods and fields over logs and ditch
es until tbe brute became finally tangled in
his baiter and was caught. So the poor fel
low thought luck was against him. He gave
tip his agency and went to work as an honest
man should. I was just thinking, Mr. Edi
tor, if some of the agents could have a runa
way . scrape and get disgusted with their
work and quit it, that both themselves and
their neighbors could be benefited thereby,
for what a pest they are I

Wild Cherry and Tar.
Every body knows the virtues of "Wild
Cherry and Tar as a relief and cure for any
affections of the Throat and Lungs. Combined
with these two ingredients are a few simple
healing remedies in the composition of Dr.
Bosanko'e Cough and Lung Syrup making it
just the article you should always have in the
bouse, for Coughs, Colds, Croup and Bron
chitis. Price 50 cents, and $1.00. Samples
free. Sold by Dr. DeLorrae. 6

Cure for Files.
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, 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 the application of Dr. Bo3anko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.
Price 50 cents. Address, the Dr. Bosanko
Medicine Co., Piqua, 0. Sold by Dr. J. F.
