It has been ascertained by wcteal cal*
eolation that over thirty thousand dol
lars worth of improvemewte fea e bee*
made io Samter since t?e rst day t?f
January up to the present time, ?od tbe ;
indications are that twice that ?move t
will be added to the material wealth of
oar prosper?os ?od boo*>rag little city
by the end of toe year. Attfratgfc time
only confirms Snorter 's great possibil
ities, yet oar e?ttaeoa are not as enter
prising as tfcey ought be. The fa
tare grow A of Saurier and its widening
and substantial prosperity depend to a
great extest ?fon the establishment of
new and small industries. Why not
start a canning factory with a capital of
$5,000, with the privilege of increasing
it to $20,000? To develop small in
dustries bat little ospitai is required and
they are open to many of oar oitisens,
while the larger industries are not.
Samter is most favorably situated for
both. Oar local capitalists are not en
terprising enough, and really seem in
different to the opportunities that are
within their reach. If they were only
inspired with enthusiasm and a firm con
viction of success, grand would be the
resalte, and Samter woald develop into

This was the sobject of Colonel W.
Z. Leiiner's address at Music Hall on
last Wednesday eveoing. Every phase
of the Confederate Soldier's life was
graphically and eloquently portrayed in
his address which was a glorious eulogy
to the memory of these who fought and
died io defense of the *Lost Cause.'
At the conclusion of Major Leitner's
address, Col. Jas. D. Graham informed
the audience that it was the earnest de

Monument and that a subscription for
that purpose would be raised im med i at e

PltUCK AND ENERGY.
A fire broke broke out at 1 o'clock
iaat Sunday morning, in George R.
Lombard's foundry and machine works.
Angusta, Ga., sad before it could be i
checked destroyed wholly or partially
the brass foundry, the gun shop, the
carpenter shop and the wheel house.
The Augusta Chronicle, of the 16th,
referring to the above, says :
Indeed it is a pleasure to see such
pluck and energy as is being manifested j
daily by oar citizens. George .. .Lom
bard was io Beaufort when he heard of
the disastrous fire. He wired his em
ployees not to let business be delayed,
but to get things in readiness and go
right ahead. ?* machine shops ran
yesterday as though nothiug had hap
pened, and his moulding foundry will j
be in operation to-day.
Mr. Lombard has sustained a heavy |
less. His loss will easily reach $7,500
with not more than from ??00 to ?1.000 j
available insuraaee. Mr Lombard says
he will have things working by Satur- j
day, and that it will hardly be known j
that anything had ever been wrong.
The advertisement of Messrs. Lom- j
bard & Co. has appear, i in the Watch
man and Southron daring the past
twelve months, and, while we regret to
learn of their misfortune we are glad to
lay before our readers this evidence of |
their reliability and enterprise.
Referring to ?ha floods in Augusta
ond the Savannah valley, the Provi
dence Journal speaks of them as a warn
ing to the people on both sides of the
river. It thinks *he wholesale destruc
tion of forests make possible and inten
sify the floods,. It says: "What has
happened to the South of France, which,
3 century a?o, was well timbered, but
tow. denuded of its trees, is subject t>
sudden torrents that in a few hours,
sweep away crops, houses and vineyards,
seems also to be befalling the State of
Georgia. Both banks of the Savan
nah river have been extensively bared
of their forests; no effort has been
made to replace them, and a foretaste of
the inevitable result has just been given,
?t is not surprising, therefose, that
within the last few days the Georgians
are advocating the importance of forest
preservation with a seal born of their
late experience. It may be hoped that
the subject will not be given a mere
evanescent attentine.
The Philadelphia Press states that
Mr. Watterson admits that President
Cleveland is trying to force his renomi
nation.7 Whereupon the Press com
ments; "This is the first time that the
matter feas beee stated in such plain
language, bet those who keep track of
events will agree in believing that the
situation is accurately described. Mr.
Clevelacd's efforts to ingratiate himself
with the spoils element in hie party and
get ?n good terms with the workers can
have no other meaning. Democratic
Congressman Berith Wilkins. of Ohio,
appeared to be of the same mind as Mr.
Watterson when he explained the delay
in removing Biggins by saying that
Mr. Cleveland wanted the delegation
from Maryland. But what will it profit
the President if, after he has secured a
renomioatioia by rolling in the dirt he
finds, as Mr. Watterson conjectures he
may, enough knives whetted to lose him
a re-election Mr. Watterson is a
smart but imprudent man. if he
thinks what he says about the Presi
dent he stultifies himself in supporting
him. If the President after investiga
tion, finds Mr. Higgins guilty of the
charges preferred against him, all the
Democrats in Maryland cannot save
him.
Discovery of America.
New York, Aug. 15.?The Inde
pendent publishes this week some cor
respondence between the American min
ister to Spain, JabesL. M. Carry, and
Spanish minister of State, Moret, on
the matter of the celebration of the dis
covery of America by Columbus in
1492. Moret, in a very friendly letter,
says: "First, that Spain will take the
initiative in celebrating in most solemn
manner the centennary of the discovery
of America in the year 1492. Second,
that for this purpose it will invite all the
nations who people the territories dis
covered by Columbus to take part in the
celebration, and third, that Spain is
ready at the same time to take part in
any other celebration and solemnity
which may be undertaken on the Ameri
can continent to commemorate the
great event. I hope this reply will
completely satisfy She inquiries which
yon have been good enough to make,
and enable you to inform your govern
ment, and all interested in the matter,
as to the purposes and decisions of
Spain."

The Course of It.
During the past four years there has
been a steady, decided and quite regu
lar reduction in the margin of safety iu
Kentucky, a State always reckoned
among the strongholds of Democracy.
Forty-five, thirty-five, twenty thousand
?at this rate it would not be many
years before Kentucky found herself in
the Republican 'column. Curiously
enougn, the period of decline in Dem
ocratic strength in Kentucky corres
ponds exactly with the period of activity
of the free trade idea, which the Hon.
John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, repre
sents more conspicuously than any other
Domocratic statesman, and the Courier
Journal of Louisville, more energeti
cally than any other Democratic news
paper.?New York Sun.
Crops and Business.
Bradstreet'8, August 13, reports that
increased damage was done to the crops
from drouth, in the Central and Western
j States, since the date of the late Gov
ernment report. But the drouth was
broken the present week. The corn
crop this year will be probably 2J per
cent, greater than that of last year.
i The decrease in wheat will be 15 per
j cent., of bay 20 per cent., and a small
decrease in potatoes, but an increase in
cotton of 9 per cent ; oats rather less
than average, and Western tobacco only
a small fragment of the average.
In Western leaf tobacco prices are
held very firm ; corn has advanced 3
cents, and wheat 1J cents a bushel.
There have been enormous exports of
wheat and flour the past week, and one
j fifth of the available surplus, which is
115,000,000 bushels, for exportation,
has been exported from July 1 to
August 6 ; or one-fifth of the quantity
to be spared, in one-te nth of the year.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 12, 1387.
Secretary Whitney is earnestly and
vigorously pushiDg forward the great
work of reconstructing the United
States Navy, this week having closed a
contract for the construction of two
steel gunboats of 1,700 tons displace
ment and three steel cruisers of 4,000
tons displacement, at a cost not to ex
ceed $4,500,000. The tests of speed ;
and capacity exacted by the Govern- ?
ment from the contractors are the
severest ever imposed and afford a suffi
cient guarantee that the work will be well
and faithfully performed, for the ship
builders are uoder heavy obligations to j
fulfill their contracts literally. If the
United States is scon on her feet as a
first class naval power, which I feel safe
in predicting will come to pass, she will
be more indebted to the able adminis
tration and fine business methods of
Secretary Whitney than to any other
source for that most desirable result. 1
believe that personally as well as offi
cially, none of the Cabinet are more
popular than the accomplished Secretary ;
of the Navy. j
To date, applications for prepayment j
of interest under Secretary Faircbild's
bond circular have been received ;
amounting to nearly seven million dol- j
lare.
A statement prepared by the Treas
ery shows that the coinage of silver
dollars for the fiscal year, endiog June
30tb, 1887, was {$24,563,615, while
the cost of the bullion delivered on par
chases was only about one hundred dol
lars in excess of the above amount and
the number of silver dollars coined was,
33,266,831. The issue of standard
silver dollars for that week from the
mint amounted to $472,213 ; for the
same period last year it was $555,273.
The Commissioner of Patents has just
made a decision of great importance to
patentees, to the effect that the working
o ; a claim mast be specific and not so
general and indefinite as to embrace
fatare improvements. The Commis
sioner rales that a patentee mast indi
cate his special invention io order that
other iuventOi8 may not be debarred by
a patent with doubtful claims?such
effect being to bar all fatare improve
ments. This week, for the first time ia
tea years a patent was extended by spe
cial enactment of Congress. This power
was formerly vested in the Commis
sioner of Patents, and was a matter of
common occarreoce, but, now, such an
undertaking is difficult to accomplish,
as Congress is reluctant to exercise its
authority a this respect.
Under s resolution of Coogress the
National Museum will this week, ship
to the Minneapolis Industrial Exposi
tion a number of exhibits containing Es
quimaux and Indian costumes and
blankets and many implements of sav
age warfare and weapons used in the
chase, to say nothing of many things of
a civilized nature too numerous to men
tion, the idea being to lend the Exposi
tion enough articles to give a sort of
synopsis of the contents of the Museum,
such as cannot be conveniently sent or
duplicated; among the number Gen.
Grant's relics and tbe*Easter Island im
age will be photographed and the pic
tures sent oo.
Secretary Bayard will deliver the ad
dress of welcome to the International
Medical Congress, which meets in Wash
ington early io September. Every civ

is expected that fully 5,000 physicians
and surgeons will be io attendance?
not to mention the thousands of visitors
who will be attracted thither by a meet
ing, the like of which the world has
never seen. That important results,
both to the anvancement of science and
the well-being of humanity, will follow
the deliberations of this vast assemblage
of the disciples of the healing art, goe>
without saying.

Annual Meeting of Company D.
Tbe re-union'of Company D, 2d regiment
S. C. Volunteers. Kershaw's Brigade, on last
Wednesday at Wilder'a Lake was a most
pleasant occasion which was made doubly so
by the presence of Secretary of State W. Z.
Leitner.
After the usual civilities of the day were
observed, a business meeting was held and the
following named survivors answered to roll
call: J.D.Graham, J. D. Wilder, II. W.
Gardner, 0. M. Reames, 0. Blaoding, Jno. J.

All of the old officers were re-elected this
time for life : Presideat, Col, James D. Gra
ham; vice president, Mr. James D. Wilder;
secretary and treasurer, T. M. DeLorme.
The Rev. John Kershaw, was elected chaplain.
Before tbe meeting adjourned, resolutions
commemorative of the death of their late chap
lain, the Rev. J. L. Bartlett, were passed.
About 2 o'clock in tbe afternoon the nine
teen survivors present of Company D. and
their guests sat down toa bountiful and well
prepared dinner which was heartily enjoyed
by all present. After dinner Secretary Leit
ner told a war anecdote which was most de
scriptive of one of the minor incidents of that
great and terrible drama in which the mem
bers of Company D. took such a noble and
heroic part.
It may not be amiss to state that early io
the morniog before any of tbe candidates had
arrived upon the scene of action, a resolution
was passed by the Executive Committee of
Company D expressing in emphatic language
their sentiments to the effect that this was not
an occasion for political speeches and that the
innocent pleasures of the day should not be
marred in any such way either. Hence these
tears.
Early in the afternoon the party broke up
and returned to their respective homes.

The sympathy of this section is with the

As natural, Mr. Editor, for sometime I have
had a little curiosity to locate your corres
pondent "Guv." as his writings to me are
interesting. Some time ago I got a slight
clue, and on reading his last piece, I had
"cooped my man," as the detective says. I
did not get my "clue" from any person, dead
or alive. It was simply pure detective work.
In bis last piece, "Guv." speaks of some
things no doubt be would like to see carried
out a year hence. My mental photograph of
him was that he was about 20 years old,
strong, lively, pushing, and could knock an
ox down. Is th?3 correct.
On Sunday last, rumors were afloat that a
marriage would take place in a few hours,

McLeod's and that Rev. G. W. Hardin would
perform the rereraony. Mr. Hardin isa sin
gle man and as this was bis first tying of the
silken knot, considerable interest was mani
fested to see it, as you know it is said that
single preachers are very bashful at such
tbing3.
Mr. Editor, I am hungry for an "entitle"
or "satitle," as the darkies say. Nearly all
my friends have one of some sort, and I am
hungry for one too. I am lonely. I am tired
of being called Mr. ? so much. How can I
get one, and how can I hold to it after I
get it, and make people respect it? Any in

The Pennsylvania company has made
complaint through the passenger agent
of the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad company, to the Ioter
State Commerce Commission that tbe
Atlantic Coast Line won't give it equal
facilities and rates. The third section
of the act prescribes that railroads
shall be just and impartial among them
selves?a thing they have always
studied not to be. The complainant,
on behalf of the New York, Philadel
phia and Norfolk Road, avers that the
Atlantic Coast Line is violating this
section by discriminating in favor of
the competitors of tho New York, Phil
adelphia and Norfolk road. It gives
them, it is charged, special and undue
advantages, rates and facilities. Tbe
commission is asked to give it relief.
Armour's Generosity.
When guests at tho Fifth Avenue
hotel are told that a plainly-dressed,
plainly-spoken, plainly-looking man of
somewhat "pudgy" dimensions is Phil
Armour, the Chicago millionaire and
the man who kills and sells more pigs
and hogs every year than any other
man in the world, they are generally
disappointed. "Uncle Phil" is indeed
a commonplace man, so far as appear
ances go. The only indication that he
is not an ordinary man is furnished by
his eyes, which are clear blue, search
ing, fearless, frank. Ho is one of the
few wealthy men who hide their light
under a bushel. Years ago he had a
cook?a neat, tidy, pleasant bit of an
Irish lassie. She was well liked by the
whole family and when she linally
married and followed lier husband, a
railroad man, to Milwaukee tho
Armours were heartily sorry to lose her
and gave her some' very valuable wed
ding presents. Five years had passed.
Nora was a widow, having lost her hus
band by an accident on the road. The

Mr. Armour, unknown to the poor wo
man, stating the facts. Four weeks
later she had a little house of her own, j
with a half acre of garden, site had a
good doctor and a bank account of $3,

was soon well patronized, and she is
now in easy circumstances. Phil

A CARD.
I take this method of thanking my friends
and acquaintances of Sumter County for the
liberal patronage they have bestowed upon
me while in the employment of Cohen &
Triest, of Charleston, and, also of informing
tbem that I can hereafter be found at Sumter s
favorite establishment, Messrs. Ryttenberg &
Sons, where I will be pleased to see them.
W. E. M IMS,
1 CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
Sumter, S. C, Aug. 17, 1837.
As is generally known, the Stables of the
undersigned, on Maiu street, were completely
destroyed by fire on the morning of the 13tb
instant. The flames were started in the office
and spread so rapidiy that it was impossible
to save any of the books, accounts or papers
of any kind, and consequently they were all
consumed. In consequence of this loss I now
have no accounts or bills against anyone, al
though there were large amountson my books
due from various parties in town and through
out the county. The fact, however, that I
have no accounts present, does not by any
means release anyone owing me, from their
obligations, and I now desire to appeal to the
honor of my debtors, to come up and settle.
There may bes?me who will take advantage
of my misfortune to escape the payment of
their just debts, but I do not believe there are
many of this stamp. Right is right, and they
now owe me these amounts just as much as if
I held the accounts against tbem. Most peo
ple recollect their indebtedness to various es
tablishments, they no doubt, some of them,
know what they owe me. I am now to a very
great extent dependent on the honor of my
debtors to retrieve one of my most serious
losses, and I do not believe that my friends
are going back on me in my misfortune.
Awaiting your favors, I am,
Yours very resspectfnlly,
Aug. 17-2._W. E. EPPERSON.
