A Verdict.
A Trial Justice in Sumter County not long
since had a case of petit larceny brought be?
fore him for trial. The defendant was John
Sampson, and the plaintiff Julia Ann. The
defendant insisted npon a jury which was
given bim and after a fair trial of the case,
the jury retired and after a suitable delay re?
turned with the following verdict :
" wWe six jauror have went out and bas de
side dis Case and find john Sampson gilty of
jolunan (Julia Aun) thing." ^
He is Thankful for the Peniten?
tiary.
Adam Cole was convicted here ia 1877 on two
indictments, larceny and arson, and sentenced
to twelve years ic the Penitentiary. The fol?
lowing letter to our Clerk of Court, Mr. W.
H. Cuttino, will prove most acceptable read?
ing to the Jury that convicted bim, if they
have any qualms of conscience in the matter.
Mr. Cole is evidently satisfied that be deserved
his sentence and is making the best of it. We
commend his example to bis fellow convicts :

Miss Clara Louise K>=:llo?g will give one
Concert in this place about the 1st of Decem?
ber next, provided I can give her manager a
guarantee that be will receive a certain
lum of money. The amount is large, but
can be easily raised by the people of this
immunity if they will torn out. You may
never have another opportunity to hear vocal
music in perfection. With the Kellogg Grand
Concert Company, is Miss Ollie Torbet a
roong lady of wonderful genius as a violinist,
md Madam Julia Rive King one of the
greatest living pianists.
I hare already sold over 100 reserved
lents, but it is necessary that I shall sell
150 more, and at once, to enable me to close
the contract with Miss Kellogg's manager.
The Diagram of the Hall can be seen at the

Mr. Editor ^Jp^cpmpHanee: with your
request, I willjinf a few words give you
the origin and the object of the organi?
zation of the Summerton Vigilance C.OIU
mittee^ Several of the more conserva?
tive members of the community, alarm?
ed at the'extent to which the illicit
trahie in spirituous liquors bad been
carried in various sections of this part of
the County, an d'indignant at thc indif?
ference of the officers of the law whose
duty it is to report and bring to justice
these bold violators of all moral, social
and religious as well as civil law, or?
ganized themselves into the above named
committee. They do not mean cow to
take the law into their own hands, but
as good citizens they deem it their duty
to use first every legitimate means to
suppress the hellish traffic. It is a duty
they owe the community in which they
live, a duty they owe to their own fam?
ilies, to do so, and then if they fail,
their desperation may drive them to do
what they now have no idea of resorting
to ; and they are not a little surprised
Mr. Editor, that the County papers
have shown so little disposition to give
them that support and encouragement
which they had a right to expect from
them as the recognized conservators of
the public morals.
Lynch law or mob law, tho' depre?
cated hy any law-abiding citizen, is the
natural expression of popular indigna?
tion at the law's delayer utter failure
to arraign and convict the evil doer.
May our people.?>e saved from this dire
extremity. SUMMERTON.
A correspondent of the Scientific
American says that the best remedy
for bleeding at the nose is the vigorous
motton of the jaws as if in the act of
chewing. In the case of a child a wad
of paper should bc inserted to chew it
hard. It is the motion of the jaw that
stops the flow of blood. This remedy
is so very simple many will feel inclin?
ed to laugh at it but it is worth a trial.
One of the most clever instances of
lisreputableness on record has been re?
cently developed at South BoBton. A
man built two houses side by side, one
for himself and one to sell. In the one
?old he had placed a furnace against the
partition of the cellar, and from its hot
air chamber he had constructed flues to
beat his own domicile. The owner of
the other bouse found it very herd to
keep his own house warm, and was as?
tounded at the amount of coal it took to
render his family comfortable, while the
dishonest builder kept himself warm at
bis neighbor's expense nearly a whole
winter before the trick was discovered.

Cure for Piles.
Pile3 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, fla in lency, 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 npon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

Dyspepsia Can be Cured.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as
dyspepsia or indigestion, and one too, that
np to the present time, has barned 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 io
the stomach, occasionaly nausea and vomit?
ing, acidity, flatulence, dull 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 you are suffering with any of these symp?
toms

We have not the space in this advertisement to enumerate
all the prices, or give in detail the varied \ styles. Below we
give some of the prices, and say that should.you need anything

? ' ? ? Columbia* S. C ?
^^^claim for discount wijl be recognized unless this Coupon is presented. f
This ofter Von ly made to the people of Sumter and vicinity,
and for a limited time. It is liberal because our prices are as
low as the same goods can be bought for ANYWHERE. There is
no chance for deception because our price mark is in plain
figures. Our reason for making this offer is, we desire to bring
to your attention the fact that you can buy your Jewelry, Silver,
etc., in Columbia as cheaply as anywhere else, and by our spe?
cial offer hope to be able to induce you to give us a trial
See the advantages of this offer. In the first place the prices
on the goods are in plain figures, so. that there is no adding on
to take off in discount. On a purchase of $10 worth, 3'ou get a
discount of $1, getting $10 worth of goods for $9 ; on a $15
purchase the discount is $1.50, which will pay your railroad
fare one way between Sumter and Columbia. The discount on
a $30 purchase pays your fare both ways ; or a $50 purchase
pays your fare both ways and Hotel Expenses in Columbia.
Now, as you will doubtless need something in dur line* say JEW?
ELRY for wife, daughter or sweetheart, or SILVER WARE, either
with or without handsome Plush or Morocco Cases for Wedding:
Presents, would it not be to your advantage to buy it from us ?
We think so, and only ask that you give us a trial.
We will send goods C. O. D. with- privilege of examining
before paying the bill if 50 cents is enclosed with the order to
guarantee us express charges in case of no sale. If the article
sent was satisfactory, and bought, the 50 cents would be deduct?
ed from the bill. It would be hardly fair to expect us to go to
the trouble of packing and shipping an article and also have to
pay express charges when no sale was effected. We will now
give you some of our prices, but should you want anything in
this line write to, or call on, us and state what you would like
to get and how much you wish to pay, and we can suit }7ou.
Remember, only one price on each article, and that in plain figures.
