Four convic tions were bad, Jsck Middleton and Charles Johnson for pig stealing and each 'Sentenced I to the pen i ten tiary fot two years ; Tom Wash ington for taking chickens, and sentenced to ten jears; and Clark S tack house for arson, and sentenced for life. The liquor cases were all postponed, which, we suppose, is equiv alen t to an acquittal. The Sessione adjourned Saturday and the ? Commo? Pleas vrere immediately called, and will probably last The Ipi All the exrange?rffiBKor~the office of which we spoke some weeks ago have been made, and it is now located in the office of Mr. C. B. Stubbs, with Master STeveland Brand as operator. We will find the new arrangement much more convenient than, the old. one, es pecially at the next Presidential election. The office hours daring the week wHi be from 8 A. M. to 8 P. M., and on Sunday from 9 to 10 in the morning, and from 7 to 8 in the evening. Master Coats Pierson is the messenger, and with Keveland manipulating the keys Sum ter will have a good telegraph j service. By the way, Xeveland is very young to hold so important a trust. Only thirteen, and he works with the skill of a veteran. An Endorsement. Mr. W. J. Reese, who was conspicuous in his efforts to bring some of the law-breakers to justice last week, has, we learn, been cor dially endorsed by formal resolutions of his fellow-citizens. In this connection we will say that there is, as far fair as we can learn, a general feeling of regret at the postponement of the liquor cases. mw??m mmm - Another Arrest, Joe Rodgers, against whom a warrant had been issued for Burglary a od Larceny by Trial Justice Jenkins; was shot in the thigh by Tyler Dixon, the constable, while attempting to escape, He was brongh t to Jail last night and the wound examined. It is not thought to be serious though the bullet has not been removed. A Varmint. We saw the head of a Wild Cat this morn ing which was a splendid specimen. The cat was captured last night on Mr. Whit Wells' place by some 'Possum hunters and weighed 22 pounds. From the looks of the head it mast have made a good fight with the dogs. I Sum tor Pire Engine Company. We are under obligations to th? committee of arrangements for an invitation to a Com pany supper, which will be given Thursday evening at their hall, instead of Tuesday, as wag at first intended. We wish the joltiest of i times to the Company and their guests. The Snmter firemen have done and'will continue to do so much for the safety of our town, that they deserve'much from the hands of our A Second Crop. Mr.CM. Hurst showed us this morning some specimens of a top crop from his cotton field which show remarkable growth. We counted on two stalks 75 bolls and squares, and a growth of lea ves sufficiently vigorous to indicate unlimited possibilities for a second crop if frost would postpone an appearance till January 1st. Mr. Hurst bas gathered from 1J acres one bale, and has 500 lbs. seed cotton in addition. Charleston Cards. We beg to direct special attention to some of our Charleston advertise*?, whose cards we were prevented by pressure upon our space, from noticing when they fint appeared : The old reliable Stove House of T. Camp bell & Co. continues to offer its usual advan tages in the line of Stoves, Ranges, Piping, Ac. To those who know him we will say that the "Co." in this firm is Mr. J. R. McCarrell, one among the c?everest of Charles ton's clever business men. T. Campbell & Co., have such an established reputation for doing precisely what they promise, that no one need hesitate in trusting them implicitly in purchasing their goods. C. Bart k Co. know all about fruit. Tbey are wholesale dealers in foreign and domestic fruits, and can fill all orders promptly. They also deal largely in vegetables. Their bus iness integrity has built them op a flourishing trade. S. Thomas, Jr. & Bro., ia their advertise ment give some faint idea of the attractions of their jewelry establishment. Their Diamonds and Watches, their Silver and Prated Ware, their Wedding Presents, arc just what such things should be in quality and appearance, and as cheap as the market will allow. The firm is most reliable and trustworthy. Jos. F. Norrie claimsj'to have the largest furniture bonse in the State. If there are any that are larger they are certainly extraordi nary. Mr. Norris has everything needed in famishing a bouse. These goods when sent out of the city are packed with great care, and their safe delivery insured. A large shipment of the celebrated "Knock about" Snits for Boys, just received at John Reid'e._ _ Mr. D. W. Chandler still leads in low pri ces. Red Rust Proof Oats at 50 cents per bwhel, at MayesviUe, S. C. Providence Items. PROVIDENCE; S. C, Oct. 12, 1885. Jfr. Editor: The fall rains have com menced and the roads are already, in a miser able condition in some localities.. The center of the road, in some instance?, is much lower than either side, and to prevent the flow of water into the channel, a log is thrown ob liquely across the road with a few brush and a mound of earth loosely thrown on it. The unsuspecting* night traveller's neck is in jeop ardy if he is driving ont of a snail'g gallop, and anyone doubting the above can satisfy himself by driving briskly across one of these water-dams, and see bow near he will come to dislocating his spine. Our present way of working roads is according to the old maxim "a lick and a promise," but the promise is never realized. Every country reader of the Watchman and Southron is conversant with the routine of road working. A number of hands loitering along singing "The Year of Jubilee is Come'* throwing a hoeful of dirt here, cutting a brush there, making a water break, such as I described above, across the roads here and there, and that is "working the road." The whole thing is a farce. What is everybody's business is no one's business, and we all try to shirk the work. Let us try taxation, and see if it wonld not lead to better j results.- I wonld suggest a levy of $3 on each poll the 1st year, $2 the 2nd, and Si the. third, then lease the road to the lowest bidder for that number of years, and soon we would have permanent roads at a meager cost. Some object to the above, from the fact that the whites wonld have the taxes to pay ; but that is no objection, for the whites furnish most of the hands for the work anyway, but let us have good roads at any cost. I admire your persistence in calling the attention of the City Fathers to the condition of your streets, and thus insure your shins against "stumbling over bricks." Now we care but little if the shine is knocked off onr boots, bnt when a fellow is thrown on his bead from a high perch in bis vehicle into a dark place, it makes him think evil thoughts, even though he does not say anything. The bridges at Messrs. Ryttenberg's mill, near Rose Hill, are dangerous. One of the planks is broken in by the weight of a horse* and the flooring seems to be imperfect. I mentioned some time since, the number of 8 to res near here, and have b??n much ?r? rati fied as to who wonld be the purchaser?, but I have it now, each had a safe guarantee of one good customer?his wife. Your correspon dent thought of embarkiDg in the mercantile business, but a months reflection banished the intention, for I, alas! have^njej?, ^and therefore no certain cmXov^j^?I^^ A big meeting has^bedPTn^progress at Tir zah Church ^rseveral days, and we bad the fffeaeure of listening to some interesting ser mons from the Presbyterian divines. Mr. McEachern is convalescent. Mr. Summers Brown is canvassing this neighborhood for a very interesting medical work, entitled "Practical Home Physician." I notice, among many certificates recommend ing it to the public, appear the names of sev eral of your to wusmem, among which are-Rev. H.F. Chieiizbcig and Dr. J. J. Bossard. The Rev. Mr. Guerry was aroused from sweet slumbers in the dead hours of the night to tie the nuptial'not for a runaway couple whose hearts had melted into one. He per formed the job with becoming grace. The darkies had a hot sapper recently, which lasted tbe entire night. One of the at tendants informed your correspondent that they had 'possom and sheep. I read an item in a Northern paper "That a negro girl had come into possession of twenty-five thousand dollars, and had re fused a dozen offers of marriage from white men." They certainly fell in love with tbe color of her money, instead of her complex ion. The School Trustees have met, but I have learned ootbiog definite from tbem. Rev. Mr. Myers and wife were unexpectedly called to tbe sick bed of their oldest son, who is attending school in one of the upper coun ties. I am glad to hear that be is improving, and will return with Mr. . f Mr. C L. Williamson is putting up a nice dwelling house. / Mr. Henry McEachern is adding improve ments to his residence. Thanks to uncle Duggan for his advice. Hope he will practice what he preaches, and look in the 2nd epistle of John, first verse, for an answer to my question. Vox. Manchester Items. Makcbestzb, S. C, Oct. 19, 1885. Mr. Editor: News scarce, cotton low, times dull and everybody down in the mouth. The line school house between Manchester and Privateer is completed but we have no teacher, Mr. Victor Pringle, teacher elect, having returned to College. Carolina Lodge I. 0. G. T. meets now in the school house instead of at Calvary Grange Hall. Mr. Wm. T. Kolb of Privateer has been quite HI with pnenmonia and fever but is convalescing. Mrs. Emily Weeks is in feeble health. Dr. J. Marion Staggers of Clarendon County is tbeir physician. He is a good doc tor and has some conscience in making charges. Mr. John J. Geddings is still confined to bia room. Rev. H. W. Mahoney has been in a very low state of health, but I bear that be is better. Tell "G. B." that be gives memore than I claim. He says I am 6? feet high ; I am only six feet and one inch. He says I am a good delegate to a Union meeting ; I am no such thing. "G. B." is too sharp, and that is why he opposes the gates ; he fears that when he gets down to open them he may fall and cut himself to pieces. There is as much ose for a bull tongue as for a magnolia sweep, or the Allwise would not have made some thick and some thin, so says, Sidea. "Doctor," said a despairing patient to his physician, "I am in a dreadful condition ! I can neither lay nor tet. What shall Ido?' I think you bad better roost," was the reply. Now, if we consider that this poor fellow was all contorted with rheumatism, tbe doctor would have done much better by prescribing a bottle of Salvation Oil, which would have relieved bis patient at once.

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 fe-'.iog of fullness or weight in tbe stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit ing, acidity, flatulence, dnll pain in the head, with a sensation of heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels, low spirits, sleepless ness, sallow skin, derangement of kidneys, and not unfrequently palpitation of the heart. If yon are suffering with any of these symp toms DR. HOLT'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR Will Cure you. For sale by Dr. A. J. China.

I find Mayesville all right, aad in good health. About 3000 bales of cotton have been ship ped from this point up to date." The crop, though, is short. I doubt if it is better than that of '81. Prices range from 8| to 8 90? rather high for the Charleston market. Tbe Grand Jury did their_part last week in bringing criminals to the bar of justice, but their efforts seem in vain. I think the work of the criminal court a great disappointment to the people of Sumter (I don't include law breakers in that list.) Tbe result of the trial in the case of the State vs. Ton stall for bigamy was snrprising to one acquainted with the facts, but I suppose the Petit Jury had reasons for the acquittal. That case and the nine true bills for liquor sell ing were lihe most important of any brought before tbe Court, except perhaps tbe arson case, and yet the result in one case is an ac quittal, and in all the others a postponement. If it is wrong for an ignorant negro to steal a pig and our sense of tbe wrong is emphasiz ed by sending him to the Penitentiary for two years, is it not a far greater wrong for an in telligent man to flagrantly violate a law which is cordially endorsed by the people, and in so doing bring trouble and annoyance to an entire community. I think so, Mr. Editor, and for one, regret that the whiskey cases were not forced to a trial. Tell "Qui Vive" that we Mayesville folks are much obliged for his offer of assistance in reference to our tigers and coons; but I think we can manage them ourselves. We are not afraid or ashamed to work in defence of law and order and, "If at flrstyou don't succeed Try, try again," and we are going to try again, and keep try ing until the last coon takes the swamp and the tigers to the jungle. I have been too busy to attend to the various requests of your correspondents, and beg pardon for neglecting them ; but ? wish to ask "Vox" how many times "Coffin" is found in the Bible. Dcgga>\ Shiloh Items. Seiloh, S. C, Oct., 16, 1885. Mr. Editor: On last Saturday Capt W. D. Hinds lost his gin boose and contents by fire. About 20 bales cotton were bnrned^no insur- j ance. Capt. Hinds has suffered severejapses by I fire before. His ginJjoj^eandcUvelling both ? havii^j-fceeTriful^d, and now to be visited with tbe above loss is almost like beginning tbe world anew, and no one to look to for help. At a meeting to-day of the patrons of Shiloh school, Miss Kate Keels, who has been for some time employed in teaching, was en gaged. We need longer school terms for the children. Some think that a child can, by going to a free school three or four months during the winter of each year, receive an education, but such ideas are most fallacious. We should add to the public school funds a sufficient-amount to rancour schools 10 | months and try that for a few years and see what a change will be effected. A cool change lias at last reached us. Some say tbey have seen frost, though no damage is as jet perceptible. Bird shooting is indulged in by a good many and from tbe report of some of tbe gun ners, birds are very hard to kill.
