Bis gin, cotton press, engine and considerable cotton was destroyed by fire, and his loss is estimated at near $2,000. Tbe fire was accidental. Stop Thief. Catch him! Catch him! Catch him ! was . shouted from lusty lungs last Friday morning as a thief dashed from the rear door of Mr. % F. 3. Gritr's store, and made a rush for Iib g C?tf. He was-soon captured and in a few minutes was before Justice Beard. He plead guilty to stealing apiece of bacon and a pis v rtol, and was sent to jail for 30 days. The theft, trial and sentence occurred possibly within an hour. Quick work that. Numismatics. A numismatist writing to a friend in Sum v- 'tsr, quotes Confederate money at from J cent to 5 cents per bill of denominations ranging : irom $5 to $500, but adds tha? old war let teisare worth from 50 cents to $5.* We im agi ne that all through tbe South there are S many packages of yellow faded letters in tbe bottoms of trunks and drawers, which once ^;were placed by young and loving hearts among their dearest possessions, but now that the hearts are middle aged, and the writers have lost the glamour of youth and romance, the owners would willingly take 50 cents apiece for tfie^wbole batch.

Hewson died very suddenly Thursday, 1st iustant, of hemorrhage of the bowels. Clifton, the little son of Mr. C. M. Hurst, Jr., died Friday night, 9th instant, in the 3d year of its age, of diphtheria. Mrs.'Hicks, wife of Mr. Mack Hicks of New Zion neighborhood, Clarendon County, died Saturday, 10th instant. Religious. It is expected that work will be resumed on the Methodist Church building this week. The usual Quarterly Communion Services were held at the Presbyterian Church last Sat urday and Sunday. Rev. J. S. Cosby preached Saturday. Dr. J.W.Davis,aChioeseMissionary, preached Sunday morning and afternoon, also delivering a lecture to the Sunday School. At night he delivered his lecture on Chioa,her people, their manners, customs and needs. The address was replete with interest, and while open to criticism as to delivery, was a rare treat to the audieuce, which, notwith standing the inclement weather, was quite large. Dr. Davis is a native of North Caro lina, a graduate of Davidson College, and an efficient Missionary, who seems devoted to his great work. Church-goers had to brave the weather in attending Church Sunday morning, and the congregations were smaller than they might have been. There will be no service at the Episcopal Church during the week, but there will be services there next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and evening at 7.40. AH interested, are cordially invited. The Frolicsome Gin. About ten days ago, Edward Hatfield's hand was caught in the saws of Mr. N. S. McLeod's gin and the middle finger of his right band so badly lacerated as to necessitate amputation. Mr. Ervin Branson's gin had a frolic wi*ti fire last week which cam? near being serious. A match, it is supposed, blazed while passing I through the condenser and ignited the cotton. By hard work the house aod gin were saved. I The condenser and part of a bale of cotton was burned with a loss of more than $100. We congratulate our friend upon getting off so light. M. Knowles, gioner for Messrs. A. S. & W. A". Srown, had his finger badly used up in a tussle with some of the belting. He will know better next time. The Atkins & Barber R. K. We are glad to hear that this road is pro gressing finely. The owners propose to build a road from their Mill near Magnolia on the W. C. & A. R. R., toBishopvi'.leand beyond. The road is to be of the same gauge as the W. C. & A., and will be laid with good rails. When complete to Bishopville, our friends there will find it of great convenience. The road is intended, primarily as a feeder to their sawmill, but will be of great utility in carrying Freight and passengers from Bishop ville and intermediate places. Court. Court was called promptly yesterday morn ing with Jndge Aldritch presiding. lo his Honor's charge to the Grand Jury, he pointedly condemned the leasing system now in vogue at the Penitentiary, and showed its wrong. The State should be a common mother to all, and punishment for crime should never degenerate into brutality. A convict sent to the Penitentiary under sen tence of hard labor has certain rights which should be protected, and not the least of these is against the cruelty of the contractor. H ?3 Honor advocated the establishment of a penal colony upon some sea Island, rather than continue the present system. Many children are sent to the Penitentiary, wbich proves to them a most efficient school for vice. *?beir training at home is of the worst. Pa rents and preachers are frequently blind lead ers of the blind, while the money spent in training and educating their minds is often worse than wasted, at times giving them the opportunity of committing their favorite crime?forgery. A reformatory school or prison for children and youthful criminals would fill a pressing need. The habit among colored people of locking young children in the bouse, while the parents are absent, thus exposing the children to the danger of being burned to death, was condemned, as was also the dangerous carelessness in the use of con centrated lye. This bas been used with deadly effect as a poison, and should be used with greater care. The need of a stenographer as a matter of economy was dwelt upon and the considera tion of the Grand Jury was invoked in the matter. The Grand Jury found the following true bills yesterday morning : State vs. Jack Mtddleton?Larceny. (Steal ing a pig.) State vs. Charles Johnson? Larceny. (Six Pigs-) State vs. Porter Davis?Larceny. (A horse.) State vs. Vicey Furman?House-breaking and Larceny. State vs. Richmond C. Andrews, Lewis Colclough and January Holland?Burglary and Larceny. (Breaking into the Gin House of W. G. Wells. This morning the following additional true bills were found. A. H. Smith?Selling Liquor Without Li cense. Melvin E. Williams?Aggravated Assault and Battery. Wm. Johnson?Carrying Concealed Weap ons. Wm. W. Tunstal?Bigamy. T. Starke House?Larceny of Hogs. L. W. Corbetl?Selling Liquor Without License. Sidney Bradley?-Selling Liquor Without License. The eases against Jack Middleton aod Charles Johnson, bave both been tried and thedefeodents found guiky. Solicitor Gilland isat his post and pushing ais work. Mr. D. W. Chandler still leads in low pri :es. Red Rust Proof Oats at 50 cents per bushel, at Mayeaville, S. C. Smithvilie Items, Smithvilue, S. C, Oct. 10, 1885. Mr. Editor: News about here is like money ?scarce. The eclipse of the mooa was a beautiful sight. About four-fifths of it seemed covered. The night was all that could be desired? clear and silvery. It is strange our peopl don't take more interest in such things, and less in things that can't interest and instruct them. The cotton is about all picked. The yield to the acre is poor. About a good half-crop is made. Peas are cut off at least one-half. I don't know what is to become of the farmers. They seem to be going from bad to worse, in a money point of view. No wonder when they have made only one crop in four, and then get but little for it. They hold out at the business, though like the woman's cruse of oil. The colored Baptist Association will be held near here in a few days. It embraces Sumter, Kersbaw, Ricbland, Darlington, kc, in its membership. Grand preparations I hear are being made by the colored people to entertain it, as it is a large body. Antioch Baptist Church has a great revival going on. The pastor, Mr. Hardio, is assisted by a regular Yankee, a Mr. Jobosou. The additions to the church are large. A meeting is to be held in a church near here soon. It is to be hoped that a result like Antioch will follow. I assure you a revival is sadly needed in our cherches, for the lines between the church and the world are about all gone. The stove agents are now here trying to collect their meney. I notice the man who sells don't collect. One of them told me that part of hie salary was for lying. Said he was an expert at it, when he went to sell a stove. Duggan, the people aronnd here sympa thize with Mayesville about those Tigers, as we know how dangerous they are, but I thought you had killed them last Spring and stuffed their hides. But this is a new lot I suppose. Can't you get an order from the Court next week to route them ? Then Sheriff Sanders can go over there with a posse and make them get up and get. If they are stub born, seud up here for us. You know when such things are tolerated it is because there is not pluck enough to route them, or else they are wanted, which is it? All my life I have heard of a hard and a soft side to trees, but never before a "fool side." Don't you think wben a person can't answer questions he ought to say so in plain terms ? Your advice I to "Vox" is good, but what is to become of us if you quit us I know not. Mr. Editor, in my last I put a plain ques tion to Mr. Wilder to answer. As be is "ex officio" Chairman of the Board of Examin ers, it is presumed that he was the proper one to ask. Mr. Smith's qualifications for the office of School Trustee, cannot be discussed. It is the legal part I want answered. Jay Gould owns property all through the West, can he vote in any State but New York, where ! be lives? Can Mr. Smith, of Kershaw Co., ! legally act as School Trustee of Sumter Co. ? j Mr. Wilder don't say. As you have taken his place, answer, you have not done it yet. j Qui Vive.

PROVIDENCE, S. C, Oct. 5, 1385. Mr. Editor: The "Entertainment" at Mrs. E. J. Heriot's on Friday eveuiug, Oct., 2d, in aid of the Episcopal Church at Bradford Springs proved to be a perfect success in spite of the heavy rainfall the previous day, and the showers during the morning of the prom ised exhibition. The elegant mansion select ed, with its broad aud spacious rooms open ing by folding-doors, and its extensive pas sage ways, was most admirably adapted for just such a display, while the kind-hearted j and sympathetic gentlewoman in charge, with j her graceful daughter, who eclipsed all oth ers in "popularity," and the most gentle manly head of the house, James English Oeriot, Esq., made each of us fancy that we were their especial guests. A very neat stage had been erected and carpeted at the extrem ity of one of the rooms, upon which rested a marble-top staod adorned by a brilliant bou quet of flowers in a glass vase. Along the sides of the long passage-way were numerous tables spread with delicious viands and in the charge of a charmiag bevy of ladies, while in an alcove beyond, there were other kindly ones who dealt out substantials. A goodly number of people sought admission at the door, and expressed themselves later, as most highly entertained. The Rev. LeGrand Guerry, the present Rector, occupied a modest seat lo the midst of his family, he looking the very "pink of neatness," as if he had just stepped out of a band-box, and his wife and family the full expression of amiability and sweetness. The reverend gentleman has won golden opinions from all denominations of Christians, hence many citizens from the sur rounding country came with full purses to express their liberality and strong personal regard, so that at the close of the eveuing the committee found that after deducting the ex penses they were enabled to present Mr. Guerry a very neat parting gift before he re sumes his pastoral duties at Summerville, S. C. We are happy to add, that religious ser vices will still continue at the Church at Bradford Springs, and that we will still be permitted to enjoy his pleasant afternoon ser vices at the "Arbor" near the hospitable niau 6ion of Mrs. E. S. Colclougb, The selections, as you observed, were most elgeant aud thoughtful, and were rendered with grace, harmony, fire, and tender pathos. I have no hesitation in saying, that I have j heard some of the very best readers both at borne aod abroad, but never any so full of skill and expression. We were very sorry that your distinguished towosmau the gifted editor, poet and scholar, Wm. G. Kennedy, Esq., was not preseut that he might have glowed with intensity of feeling, as helistened to the passionate recitation of his own beau tiful aud patriotic "Memorial Hymn." Aud you too Mr. Editor was sorely missed, that you might have enjoyed the humorous touches given to an article culled from your delight ful columns. Too much thanks cannot be extended to the kiud ladies iu charge of the refreshment ta bles, their sweet aud bewitching ways render ing thein almost irresistible; to the queeuly and gracious Postmistress and ber Military assistant, distributing billet-doux with a gen erous baud ; to the quiet, unobtrusive, yet wonderfully winsome lady who bore with her the very fragraoce of the Havana, very soon displaced by the exquisite perfume of the rose blended with the lily's purity aud grace; to the fascinating flower-maidens, whose lovely smiles, and fresh young faces were more charming than their bouquets; to the vigi lant and ever zealous member of the Commit tee so eager to lay his trophies at the feet of "Popularity's Self," aod anon, wielding the "Auctioneer's" hammer with so much spirit i and profit to us all ; to the Clmirman of the evening, Maj. E. F. Burrows, active, ener- I getic, and a gentleman "every inch of him ;" J to the eulire Committee of Arrangement?, j beaded by the genial "Captain," and closing j with the efficient "Colonel:" to e.^ch, to all, j who entered with alacrity into this testimo- j niai of a community's love and affection, are ! we all very much bounden. Mr. W. II. Seale, also the Messrs. Sanders, have deserted Providence and returned to their homes. Miss Elis Moore who bas been spending va cation with her aunt, Mrs. T. P. Burden, ba3 returned to Charleston to resume her studies. We all miss her. As ever, Vox. Mayesvllle Items. Mayesyille, S. C, Oct. 12, 1885. Mr. Editor : Thia is Court week aud I am awfully busy, so I will be brief. I must brag a little on MayesvilJe'a trade. It is booming. Our enterprising merchants have put their prices down to the lowest fig ure and are reaping a rich reward of cus tom. The new Post Office arrangements are very convenient. Mr. M. P. M ay es is a model P. M., and the Drug Store is the best location possible. Silver is very soiree, We need J. S. Rich ardson back in Washington to get things straight, make money plenty and all that sort of thing. Mrs. Hillary Hollyman is quite ill. The Mayesville High School is doing well. Messrs. Atkins & Barber are building a ! railroad, and that is all I know at present. DtroQAN. Privateer Items. PRIVATEER, S. C, Oct. 5, 1885. Mr. Davis McElveen has completed his bouse and he is now ready to begin house-keeping. Friday morning Mr. Whitefield Wells' gin house was broken into, and several hundred pounds of seed cotton taken out. The thieves were so closely pursued that they left two baskets and a sack of cotton. The wagon was tracked np to the Rev. (?) Capers An drews' house where the stolen cotton was found. Rev. Capers went to Sumter, chang ed one wheel of his gagoD, had his horse shod and employed a lawyer. Notwithstanding the^e precautions he was sent up to the higher Court for trial. Rev. Capers is a "locus" preacher of the Reformed Methodist persuasion aod will likely dispense his doctrines to the denizens of the penitentiary after court. The darkies say "dem 'locus' preacher de wos' debils in de country." Mr. S. Y. Mason, in charge of Mr. Sam'l Bradford's engine, came near being danger ously hurt last Monday by getting his coat caught on the set-screw of the shafting. I will close by repeating the words ofn friend, hoping they may be fully verified in the near future: "That the Watchman and Southron will become the leading county paper in the State, as it is now the best. Yours truly, Dew. - . ?? Privateer Personals. Miss Lizzie Beckham has returned to her school in Ricbland Miss Minnie A. Beckham of Eufaula, Ala., has returned to her home.
