Collections of internal revenue dur ing the first eight months of the fiscal year ending June 20 1887, were $74,248,868, being ?917,607 less this, the cotrespoadkBg period last year. The celebration of the 90th anniver sary of the birth of Emperor William n> Berlin was a grand affair ; the city decorated as- it never was before ; the churches were all opened and crowded ; there were long processions and im merse crowds in the streets. A singular care, or sink, thirty-one feet in diameter, one hundred and twenty feet in circumference, twenty four feet deep, and perfectly perpendic ular, has recently been discovered on J. N. Lancaster's plantation in Barn well County. It is situated on one of the most elevated points in the vicinity, tfiid composed of solid clay of a moist nature. It is supposed to have been caused by an earthquake shock on tbe sighi of March 2. Augusta G a., is happy in the pros pect of tbe coming of the new road via Ridgway, Raleigh and Monroe, N. a, and Cberaw, S. C The Chronicle says: 'The Hamlet-Cberaw link is known as the 'Palmetto7 road, and is tweaty miles long. It is completed to the bridge over the Pee Dee river, a mile this side of (-heraw, and early this spring will run into Che raw. Au gusta is its objective point. This link, as well as the one from Petersburg to Ridgway, is owned by Mr. Moneare Robinson, who will get the right of way over the Raleigh and Gaston and Raleigh and Augusta roads.' There is no place like South Caro lina, and no place in South Carolina like Georgetown.?Georgetown En~ quirer. Who gainsays this truismattc asser tion of the Enquirer? South Carolina is geographically distinguished from any other State in tbe Union, and certainly, it is conspicuously apparent that Georgetown is the most antiquated pisce in South Carolina.?Manning Times.

On last Tuesday afternoon Col. R. C. Barkley, Mr. S. J. Pregnall, of Charleston, Fowler and Howlett, of New York, Col. W. B. Utsey, of Col leton County, Hon. ?ltamont Moses and Messrs. C. E. Stubbs and T. J. Tuomey, left Sumter for tbe purpose of making a final trip over the proposed route of the Eutawville Railroad. These gentlemen went directly from here to Packsville and extended their trip on that afternoon to Panola where they spent the night with Col. Patrick Brock, whose hospitality contributed no little to tbe pleasure of the trip. From there the party left on yesterday morn ! l?g for SummertoD, and from there ' they proceeded to the Kiver where they met the Engineer Corps. Representa tive Altamont Moses and Col. W. B. Utsey returned to Sumter on yesterday evening. The rest of the party are io Manning to-day, negotiating with tbe County Commissioners for the right of way in Clarendon County. Representative Atlamont Moses told us this morning that Col R. C. Bark ley told him on yesterday that tbe Road would be built, and that Sumter had a glorious future before her. Col. Bark ley says that Sumter is likely to be come a second Atlanta. Mr. Moses says that the difficulty of ! putting a bridge across the Saetee will be much less than was anticipated, and that a contractor bas offered to take the job for ?40,000. A preliminary sur vey of the route to Sumter is expected to be made soon. If the different lines of Railroads are built to this point, which are cow in contemplation, Sumter will develop into a city sure enough. On our fourth page will be found the article of 31 rs. Chapin, to which refer ence was made last week, as having been refused by the S. G. Advocate, and also in connection therewith, some other matter from the Temperance Worker bearing upon the same subject. We do not understand from their own words that the ladies of the South Car olina W. C. T. U. are such awfully anconi prising suffragists as they have been represented to be?in fact they do not seem to be demanding the suffrage at all ; but are quite candid in admit- ! ting that tbey consider themselves bet ter qualified to vote for their own wel fare than some who do vote. The | articles referred to wiil be found good reading, and we give them for what they are worth, without proposing to go into any discussion of the matter of woman suffrage, as we do not consider it need give the people of this State my concero for a long time to come. [From our Regular Correspondent.J WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, March 18, 1887. Pedagogues, railroad men and ex sursiocists have had possession of the ?ity during the week. The National Department of superintendence, the Passenger Agents Association of the United States and Canada, and the In stitute of Civics have each held conven tions here, while tbe excursionists have rome by the thousand. Tbe President's social duties have not in tbe least diminished with the ajournaient of Congress. He accord ed tbe railroad representatives a special reception on one cf his off days, and yesterday afternoon when he dropped his pen and papers and came down to the East Room at bis regular hour for shaking hands with the great Amer ican public, he found the crowd swelled by the presence of several hundred of the educational dignitaries now in the city, and the cultured gentlemen who represent the American Institute of Civics. The latter society has for its object the promotion of the study of govern ment and the spread of Mr. Dorm?n . Eaton's political philosophy. As the President smiled graciously and shook hands with the superinten dents, he a: su red them that he was al- j ways delighted to meet a body of school teachers. *I was something of a school teacher once myself, you know/ said he,' and I sometimes feel that I am something of a school teacher still. ; Every school man in the line was { presented to the President by name.' j *Dr. Lucky, of Pittsburg,' said the in- ! troducer, as an unusually handsome j gentleman stepped forward to grasp the j Presidential hand. It had been intend- j ed to have all the educators ?n oue j compact body with no outsiders saud- I wiched between them, but it happened j that a very dilapidated looking old J tramp had gotten into line just behind the fine looking man from Pittsburg. | As tbe straggler approached the Prc?-i- | dent there was a marked hiatus. No | tongue could tell his name. But the ! President was equal to the situation. \ [le extended his hand with unusual cordiality and said in an encouraging j tone: 'How are yr?u my friend? Ii suppose your name must be Dr, Un- j lucky. 'Every body in hearing of j the remark laughed and so did the tramp. After leaving the White House the pedagogues were photographed in a group on the steps cf the State, War and Navy Department building. ? At one of Mr. Cleveland's re- ! cent noon-day receptions there - appear ed at the end of tbe procession a sharp ! looking man with a short, clean-shaven j face aud close-cut white hair who ! proved to be Mr. Edwin Smith, one of the lawyers who defended James D. Fish wh?*ii he was on trial in connec tion with the ruiu of the Marine Na tional Bank. Mr. Smith is working hard to bave the President pardon the old banker, and thinks he will succeed. The ground on which be pleads for mercy is that the old man has been punished as much as it is possible, to punish him, and that it would be in mercy to his family to have him re leased. He says the old man's daugh ter bas taken a room in Auburo and haunts tbe penitentiary like a specter day and night. At the educational convention the superintendents have discussed civil service reform. Those who spoke on the subject were pretty nearly all civil 'service reformers, and that sentiment was loudly applauded by the assemblage of men and women who filled tbe hall of the National Museum where tbe sessions were held. This reminds me of something that Representative Breckenridgc, of Ken tucky, recently sard fra subject. He was speaking before the Virginia Democratic Association abont the duties of Democrats to their party. The po tency of Democracy in the District of Columbia is fully demonstrated, by the way, in tbe size and enthusiasm of the meetings of the different Democratic Associations which are held from time to time. Tbe Congressman from Kentucky said that a Democratic administration, in the first year or two of its accession to power could not fulfill all the hopes and expectations and anticipations of that event. It was enough that it had given the country an honest and an able Government and fully represented the public opinion that produced it. In stead of complaining of the Civil Ser vice laws and the fact that the Repub licans are not turned out of ornee as fast as they ivght be, he said it was the duty of Democrats to endeavor to make Democratic supremacy permanent, and when this was accomplished, more of their hopes might be realized. Items and Opinions from Qui Vive. Smithvjlle, S. C, March 21, 18S7. Mr. Editor : This place is not so large and important as to he the cause for changing the mail route from Hagood to this point. Suppose it does take a letter frfem two to five days to come from Sumter here, what it that to be compared with causing the people along the Hagood route to go from twelve to fifteen j miles for their mails if the route was I changed. This place and Providence have ! mails three times a week and we get the Sum ter papers just as quiek as if the mail ran direct to Sumter from here. So where is the gain and who is "a little off" on the mail question? lam sorry I can't give the new route my uid in any shape or form, for to do so would be agaiost the section I live in. Farm work is getting on very well. Large quantities of Charleston dirt is being hauled from the depots for cotton. good many of our people nre under the firm belief that if they don't poor the dirt ander cotton tbey can't make any. I notice that they don't make any more cotton than those u bo use it rather slim. If holding a cigar in your mouth not light ed is "dry smoking," what kind of smoking is that when it is lighted? Wet smoking? or hot smoking? J thought all smoking was dry. It was useless for Congress to have been fussing about fortifying Charleston harbor. Let the European Governments see the Gov ernor's staff of this State and there will be no danger that they will ever attack South Car oliua. There is a great deal of similarity be tween the South Carolina Militia and a tad pole. Speaking of titles, there are so many Generals, Colonels, Majors, Captains, etc., these days that the plain and honorable old "Mr." seems to have gone to the other world, and as people are very touchy about their "satitles" as the negroes say, your corres pondent is almost afraid to spenk to a man by calling him "Mr.." for he might hare a title and to not honor it might he a cause for a ?ght, and you know that would not pay. It would be refreshing to see Russia give Germany a first class whipping. The Euro pean governments are like a set of roosters, which banter each other for a fight aod never do it. ? am reliably informed that the members of a Church in this county are offended with their pastor because he told them of their wrong doings, and of his unpaid salary. They have gone to each person who ever gave the pastor a present in years gone by, and have ascertained the value of it, and have charged the pastor for the same; aod. also, interest on some money borrowed to pay his salary with. That is the way they have at tempted to settle with him. Now, Mr. Edi tor, what would you think of those who ask you to partake of their hospitality, and years afterwards send in a "bill" against you for it? I hope there i? not another Church like this one in tbe woild and I don't believe there is. The negroes hold midnight meetings about every night, which interferes with farm work. There is no doubt but what this race is going from bad to worse. Among the prominent colored deaths in the last few months here are; Thomas Tay lor, ex-politician, Ilev. Jesse Boy kin, a Bap tist pr?cher, (his funeral was attended by nearly ali of the miuisiers of his Association) and recently Ilaniptoo Vaughn, who was quite prominent in money matters. As usual, all died with a "hand" on them. It is very rare these people will adroit that one of their race dies by the visitation of God. Why is it that the wedding eostumes of men are not described? Does it only change as the Irishman said : from "swallow tail to bob tail," troni bugs to tights ?" but I must noi begrudge the ladies anything they cet, and only hope they will get their hearts' desire, i. e. a nice little home of their own and some one to pet and scold as the mode takes them. Mr. Editor, il is no disgrace to be an uid maid, and because a lady remains single is no proof she never had chance. The only trouble is the right fellow did not come. This class of ladies have done an immense amount of good iu this world. The dark ages hare not entirely passed away yet. A white man in Kershaw nr;idu ated not long since in witchcraft and is now] it is said, coining money off the credulity of the negroes. Another I am informed is now taking lectures in witchcraft under an old laikey and soon expects to graduate. This last an is rather prominent, or has been, \ and is a member of a church. Hev. George Hardin and Mother, of Green ville. S C, have moved to Sumter County. Mr. Mardin will aid his brother, Rev. D. C. Ifardin, in his ministerial work, this year. Mr. A. C-Barrett, of Bisbopville, is stop ping in the neighborhood in transit to Orangeburg on a visit. Mr. Barrett belongs to that class of gentlemen who is fast becom ing extinct and has so honored and gave diir ity to our State in every shape in ve*rs gone by. Qlji VIVE, j ? -. j Sunday the police of St. Peters- ! burg were informed that an attempt! might be made on the life of the Czar j on that day, it beiug the anniversary of ? the assassination of his father, and as j a result the police arrested near the | imperial place several persons who ! were discovered holding dynamite : bombs io their hands ready to throw j them at the Czar as he emerged.

Frierson was born at Cherry Vale, near Stateburg, February 21, A. D., 1818. He was graduated from the South Carolina Collegein December, 1837, carrying off the first honors of bis class, in which were such men as Duncan W. Ray, John L. Man ning and Louis T. Wigfall. In the year following he was sent as a dele gate from South Carolina to the great Com mercial Convention which met in Augusta, the ohject being to promote the commerce of the sister States of Carolina and Georgia, and to advertise to the world their resources and advantages. Ushered thus into public life at the early age of twenty, Mr. Frierson's future career was made. In obedience to the expressed will of his friends he represented Sumter County in the lower house of the Legislature during several terms from 1840. Political ambition forming no part of his life's design, he retired from office until after the civil war, when, in obedience to the call of his fellow-citizens, he went to the State Senate, where he faithfully served his con stituents during times that verily tried men's souls. At this time Mr. Frierson was a trus I tee of his Alma Mater, in whose welfare heal I ways had a profound and earnest interest. L After this, without his being in any sense of the word a candidate for office, he was nommated and received a highly compliment ary vote for the position of Governor, State Treasurer, the United Stales House of Repre sentatives aud United States Senate, These facts indicate the high estimation in which Mr. Frierson was held by the people of his county, and State, although he was one of the very few "Union men" is this section of the State and opposed Secession, not, how ever, because he doubted the constitutional right of tbeState to secede, but because he deem ed the movement unwise and inexpedient. When the Staterftrfsecedr he went with her, and served her efficiently in his own person, while his eldest son, Converse, gave his life for the cause of the South, having died in a Northern prison, as gallant a soldier as ever drew sword in &ny cause. Of Mr. Friereon's numerous benefactions to the widows and orphans of the Lost Cause there is no desire, as there is no need to speak. His record in this respect is is already written on high, wafted thither by the grateful prayers of them he so unostenta tiously aided. Such being a brief and imper fect recital of his career as a citizen of the State, it is with unfeigned pleasure that we are able to turn to his services to the Church. For more than fort}'years Mr. Frierson served as a vestryman of the Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg, aud was a devoted member of the same through life. He gave cheerfully of his means to the Church, and was ever ready to aid in every good work, not on'y hy his voice aud presence, but by his gifts also, the best proof, perhaps, of sincerity and deep interest in any cause needing such substantial support. He will be surely and sorely missed from the councils of his brethren in the parish and in the diocese, whose undivided respect and af fectionate esteem he enjoyed. Into the more iutimate circle of bis home and family we may not penetrate. After a long and ofttimes painful illness, borne with patience and resig nation, he passed away quietly and without a struggle. His faith was well founded?he knew in whom be had believed?be feaied no evil even in the valley of the shadow of death ?when God called him he was ready to go? he has passed into that land Where loyal he; rts and true stand ever in the light, All rapture through and through, in God's most holy sight. There let us leave him. We can desire noth ing more or better for him or for ourselves, but we can cherish his memory?we can emu late his example?we can wish that of us as of him it may be written: "He hath fought a good fight ; he hath kept the faith." K. Died on March 3rd, 18a7, Miss a (Leila) L. Re-id, oldest child of J. Merrick and Anna C. Reid. Our Darling?a lender mother's prop and stay, a father's pride and dependence, the brothers' and sisiers lovtrd a; d loving companion and trust?has been suddenly taken from us. She daily exemplified, by a busy, blithesome life, the words of the Christians' song : "We'll work 'till Jesus comes And we'll be gathered home." She was stricken by the "Reaper's Sickle'' while tenderly ministering to the comforts of an aged, blind and helpless relative, thus literally working 'till Jesus gaihered her home and lett our fireside desolate. There is no death ! An nngel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread ; He bears our best-loved things away, And then we call ihem "dead." He leaves our hearts all desolate ; He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers, Transported into bliss, tbey now Adorn immortal bowers. The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones Make glad the scenes of sin aud strife, Sings now an everlasting song Amid the tree of life ; And where he sees a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for tain: or vice, He bears it to that world of light, To dwell in Paradise.
