On last Sanday-might at the Church of the Holy Gon^ter^tW Rev. John Kershaw preached fw? the above text to. a large and attentive congreg?tk>n3 composed principally of younfemen- to^whpm he more parrietilarry address^S&sdir'.-The reverend peaker compare?^Hfi? aa: ft Js lived bY different classes ofmet^ to^-building. Ia therunder* ground cellars of the house, he located'those who were under the dominion of animal pas? sions and. fleshly- lusts, of whatever kind. These, he said, are lower than the animals themselves by as much as their opportunities and possibilities are greater and higher than theirs.: Sa-eba life led to a grave spanned by no bow.o&$*omise, illumined bjr no'J'jay ef hope. In thVbasementi. '-partly above and partly below ground, he located those whose sole ambition is to get money, irrespective-of the methods employed, whether they be honest or dishonest. In this connection he quoted Emersonri4angoage, "the ways of trade have grownaeHteh to tbeborders of theft, and sup? ple to the borders, if not beyond the borders of frauds** and ?bowed how true they were-of these times. He denounced in strong terms such base and dishonest' methods, and assert? ed his conviction that it was better to be poor and honest, than a money prince reeking with the savor of ill-gotten gains, whose whole soul was only a jingring money-till. - In the first story be located the intellectual man, afar higher type than either of the others, but failing of his destiny if he made his mind his Qod, and worshipped it. He said that such a course won ld have a tendency to make a man a Tom Thumb, when he might be a grand giant by comparison. In the second story he placed the moralist. A higher type of man, it is true, bot a failure as a man, because be stopped short of all be might be. He sahl there was all the differ? ence between a truly Christian man, and. a moralist that there was between Mendelssohn. and Blind Tom, a master and a mimic. Above these stood the Christian-a. com? plete man-a. perfect manhood declaring to the world of angels and men the recognition of the fact that he was the child of God, and as such bound to live according to his Father's word and will. With that grand truth im? pressed upon their -souls, with their hearts fired by the knowledge that they were the children of the Great Kine, the speaker ap? pealed to his hearers to give themselves to their Father's service here, that hereafter they might be acknowledged as His by the Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. s A "Cheek for 85,000. The timber ob . 2,178 acres of land of the estate of the late J.^G. W. DuRant, distanced about ten miles from Sumter on the line of the Central R. R , was" sold on one day of last week by the Trustee, W. F. B. Haynsworth, Esq., to Mr. J. A. McClure, who gave a check to the amount of $5,000 on the Bank of Sum? ter for the same. Mr. McClure is all 0. K. in the science of the lumber business. He is now manufac? turing and shipping lumber by the wholesale to Northern and foreign markets. - 'I-, ? I. -; The A ? C. X. BL'B. Extension. Col. R. R. Bridgers, presidentof the Wil? mington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, was in Sumter yesterday ou business pertain-. ing to the new ex en sion of the Atlantic Coast Line. Col. Bridgers says that the work of lay i og the road will begin at a very early ^iay, provided there is no difficulty about gettiog the right of way for the public road which the commissioners have required them to cut before they will grant them the way of the old Wilmington and Manchester Railroad. We understand that Col. Bridgers indicated that his Company will be -J ii ling to stand a reasonable expense to harmonize the. the different interests, and use the old road? bed, bat will net submit to extortion. In case the right of way cannot be had the exten? sion will begin at a point two or three miles below Sumter. m The Eutawvilie Railroad. In compliance with an invitation received from President Barckley of the Eutawvilie Railroad the Town Council held a meeting on la3t Tuesday morning and appointed War? dens Mood and Moses with Col. R. M. Wal? lace and C. E. Stubbs, Esq., a committee to go to Santee and confer there with the Direc? tors of the EutawFille Railroad, and the cit? izens of Summerton and Panola as to continuing the Eutawvilie Railroad across the Santee to Sumter. The meeting was held at Prince's Lake, on the East side of the Santee. The Sumter Committee returned here at a late hour last night and the Directors return? ed to Cbarlestou where they will hold a meet? ing to-night, at which Sumter will be represented. The Eutawvilie Railroad Company, will at an early date send a committee of its Direc? tors to Sumter to travel over and inspect the entire route. We do not know cf any road which will help Sumter more than this, and hope the citizens all along the route will give the right of way. and the lands necessary for building depots, &c. The Directors are, so far, pleased with the prospects of the road being made a paying investment, and hope our people will encourage them all they can. Our committee praises highly the hospital? ity of the good people of Panola and Sum? merton, who entertained them in royal ij-le. - i? - A Requisition for Arrest. Sheriff Sanders left Sumter on last Tuesday morning for Atlanta with a requisition from Governor Richardson for the arrest of one J. W. Budd, of Coffey County, Ga., for ob? taining money under false pretences. Budd is a white man and used to live : " vis County. The warrant was sworn out "y Dr. J. J. L. Miller, of Spring Hill. Sheriff Sanders has just returned from At? lanta, Ga. Gov. Gordon refused to deliver up Budd on the ground that he had received from Trial Justice Denton, of Coffey County, a statement that the charges, made against bim were all done for a wrong purpose.

It is the de? sire of all parties concerned to pot this Drama on the Darlington stage on the night after it is played here.

Brown bas received the following information in regard to his stolen mole, the notice, wbicb be left at this office on the first of the week relative to the same, will not be published of coarse: On Monday morning last a short time after daylight, a voong negro man came into this town riding a medium size, mouse colored, horse mole, which is in fair condition. He said the mule belonged to himself and his mother, and tbat they desired to sell it. Be offered to sell it at from $75 to $20. Prom his many stories suspicion was aroused .and he was arrested and lodged in jail. He then confessed that be took the mole from a white mao by the name of Brown, at Swimming Pens, in Sumter County. He first gare his name as Ned Kiooon, but finally confessed that bis right name was Dake McFaddio. The mole is now in Heller's stables, awaiting its owner.-Kingstone Record; -- ? -???-. - Mi-. Whisky the Cause. Dick Gale aod Henry Richardson, both colored, had a fight on last Tuesday night io the rear of Zack Walker's barroom. The figbt was uobappily brought to a close by Richardson smashing a bottle of whisky over Gale's bead which was badly cut by the broken glass of the shattered bottle. Gale, it is said, fainted and became unconscious. Whether his prostrated condition can be at? tributed to the force of the blow received from his combatant from without or by the strength of the combatant within, is a ques? tion we are unable to answer. A requisition was made on Dr. A. J. China for his profes siooal services, and Gale's wouods were soon sewed op. It Might Have Been Worse. While Mr. C. W. Staocill was out ridiog oo last Sunday afternoon with bis wife and child, bis horse became frightened near Band? ing's Mill, and ran away. Mr. S tan ci ll was thrown ont of the boggy, aod was badly hort. So mach so that the doctor bad to sew up the gash io his leg received from the throw. After the horse had ran some dis? tance Mrs. Stancill managed to drop the baby in the middle of the road in the soft saod, after wbicb she herself jumped from the back of the boggy into the road. The horse with the boggy ooinjured was stopped somewhere near the crossing of the first mill. Base Ball. Mr. H. M. Emerson, of WilJmington, has writteo the following letter to Mr. Walter I. Harby, manager of the Sumter Base Ball As? sociation ; ''Please advise me as early as pos? sible of the date you decide upon for holding the conventions aod we will endeavor to have a delegate present. I note that the Co? lumbia Association has had a meeting, and will go into tbe convention to limit the num? ber of professionals employed by the different teams. While as a matter of economy, I am in favor of such a motion, I would oppose it, as we endeavored to work it in the North Carolina League of 1885, bot found it a very difficult matter to draw the line between a professional and amateur player. Wilming? ton will go in with as few paid players as possible, in fact will try to do entirely with borne material, but we have oo objection to other clubs employing as much foreign talent as they may be able to pay for. If Angosta comes in we should have an amateur club from Charleston, or one from Spartanburg or some other western South Carolina point." The Snmter second nine met on last Tues? day afternoon and re-organized, electing Thaddeus Brimson captain, and A. Gilbert Flowers secretary and treasurer. The club this year will be known by the name of "Rough and Ready." --mmw~ - - Attorney-General Earle. Attorney-General Earle looks like a human Damascus blade. He is tall, thin aod very distinguished looking. Like Paul flayoe, the intellectual so entirely dominates in his physical appearance that you doubt if be bas ever eaten anytbiog in his life-or if he ever wants to eat anything. His gleaming black eyes are set very far back io bis head, and look as if they could at any momeot shoot forth lightning and meteors. He is now of Sumter, where his mother's people, the Haynsworths, live; but was born, if we mis? take not, and reared in Greenville, where the Earles bave been conspicuously and honor? ably identified with the country from the very earliest period. At the time of his election as Attorney-General, he was State Senator from Sumter County. He is about 40 year3 of age ; and from his earliest manhood has been a character of rare intellectual force and cour? age. As soldier, as lawyer, a9 politician, he has already made a very brilliant mark. We would not be surprised if, io the course of a few years, this mark became the very bril liantest in South Carolina. And it is not only in keenness that Attorney-General Earle makes you think of a Damascus blade but equally so in polish and knigbtly bend.

Mayesville Items. MAYBSYILLE, S. C., March 7, 1887. The semi-annaal road working is in prog? ress now, and when the festive Commissioner comes on his tour of inspection, he will ron no extra risk of getting hts baggy broken. Corn planting will begin in earnest this week. Oats are looking well. The area is not so large as it ought to be, but they will largely supplement the com crop. Preparation for crops goes bravely on, in spite of the weather. A thunder storm this evening may be said to hate ushered in the Spring. The funeral service of Mrs. Samuel Pearson who died on Wednesday last, was conducted at Midway Church on the 3rd inst., in the presence of a large number of friends and rel? atives, by Ber.-W. J.

The Presbyterians of this community have done nobly th as far and it is hoped they will finish their tasty house of worship. Rev. A. M. Williams, of the Baptist Church preaches twice a mooth. Col. T. B. Johnson has built several com? fortable houaes for bis laborers. We long for the day wheo all of our farms will be dotted with just such houses. Colds and coughs are prevalent ; such "barking" was never heard before; the good doctors could get a fine practice if they would take the trouble to peddle their physic. SISE DIE. ma i i mm - Teachers' Local Institute. Pursuant to a call by the County Superin? tendent of Education, the third Institute met at 10 A. M., Saturday, March 5, 1887 at Bishopville, and was opeued with prayer by Rev. S. P. H. Elwell. Connty School Commissioner, Mr. J. T. Wilder was elected Chairman, and Mr. L S. MacSwain was requested to act as Secretary. It was agreed to go through with the pro* gramme without stop. Geography of State and Connty was handled by Mr. Shepherd Nash. Prof. Gibbs stated that owing to pressure of circumstances he was unable to give the History of Sumter County, but addressed the audience with appropriate remarks. Mr. MacSwain then treated of Methods in Arithmetic, Mr. Horatio Lenoir, oo Decimal Fractions, Mr. Nash, on Proportion, and Prof. G. Edwin Stokes, on Language Lessons. Maj. J. H. Rice, Stale Superintendent of Education, then spoke in a short but well timed address, encouraging the teachers. The exercises were in.erspersed with ex? cellent music by the pupils of Prof. Stokes' High School. Resolutions of tba: for the nse of the High School building, and to the citizens of Bishopville for entertainment were adopted. J. T. WILDER, Chairman, L. S. MAGSWAIN, Secretary. Pocotaligo Causeway. SCS?TER, S. C., March 9. 1887. Mr. Editor: A communication in your issue of February 24th, from F. M. Mellett, needs explanation. The day we met at the Poco? taligo Causeway to receive or reject the work on said Causeway, no objection was made by Col. Mellett, as to the way the logs were latd in the construction of said Causeway, nor as to the height, hui Col. Mellett wished to postpone the reception of the Causeway, on account of its iosolidity for tbe want of hill dirt. We, Shaw and Muldrow, contended that as the contract did'not require hill dirt, we had no right to object to the reception of the Causeway for the lack of hill dirt, and believing as we did that the Contractor bad complied ai th terms of contract, we never expected to have a Causeway finished (as a Railroad embankment) a distance of one half a mile and 153 yards for $1,697, when the Surveying Engineer, after careful esti? mates, reported the work worth $2,250 44, and further the Commissioners only had about $1200 levied, with which to build said Causeway, &c. And we still conscientiously believe that the work as done is worth all we contracted to pay for it. The amount-in the Crimina! case alluded to as $140 ?3 an'error; $61.45 being the correct claim as shown by the records of office. The question was who was to pay that amount? The Sheriff, in all cases of Felony, is required to have the Witnesses of the De? fendant brought into Court, through same process as State Witnesses ; the Defendant was tried and acquitted. Now who was to pay the Sheriff's Costs? Was he to loose it-or the County to pay it? We, Shaw and Muldrow, as County Com? missioners, contended as lhere was no law to compel the Defendant to pay such Costs, the Connty would necessarily have to pay it anc' so approved said claim forS61.45. We dislike, and regret to appear thus be? fore our fellow-citizens, but believe that simple justice to ourselves demands it. S. L. SHAW. R. E. MCLDROW, Ex. Co. Comm'rs. Sumter Countv.

An excellent opportunity for everybody to secure good horses at little cost will be pre? sented by the coming auction sale of fine Texas horses at Sumter, S. C., Friday, March 18.
