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.

been issued for Burglary a od Larceny by Trial

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

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.

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^^

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."

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.

called to tbe sick bed of their oldest son, who

Mr. Editor: News scarce, cotton low, times
dull and everybody down in the mouth.

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. Price 25 cents a
bottle. , ./_

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
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

Mr. Editor: Home again from Court, and
glad to be there. 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.

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.
