The Loss Greater Than at First
KeportecL
The Bank examiner, Co!. T?te, has com
pleted his report of the condition of the
Bank of Sumter and the same has been for
warded to Comptroller Iren holm. The
amount of the defalcation is $79,352.01, for
which the stockholders are liable. The capi
tal of the Bank, S50,000, the surplus and
undivided profits, $11,000 besides over $1S,
000 have been taken.

$2,706.0? was received in au express money j
package on yesterday morning from Henry j
Clews k Co., of New York. This amount

credit.
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
So great has been the hue and cry
against Chas. E. Bartlett since the dis
covery of his defalcation of the National
Bank of Sumter that few or any have
let up long enough in the general howl
of veDgeance to consider the questions,
Have the affairs of the Bank been prop- j
erly attended to by those in charge of
that institution ? Is the whole of this
most disgraceful affair to be laid exclu
sively at Bartlett's doors ? Is he alone 1
liable for the results ? j
Under the general law of negligence I
it is prescribed that any person who un- S
dertake8 to perform services for another
is responsible to the latter in damages
for any less or detriment actually suf- j
fered in consequence of his want of
skill in that particular business or by a
failure to apply such skill with proper
care and diligence to the matter in
hand, and if he fails to exercise an or
dinary and proper degree of deligence j
and attention, he makes himself liable !
for the results. It is true that human j
judgment is so often at fault that it is j
almost impossible to define with accu- j
racy the line of demarkation between j
excusable negligence and that which is !
culpable, but it is manifest from the cir
cumstances of the case that Col. R.
M. Wallace, President of the Sumter j
National Bank has been guilty of gross j
negligence in his management of the |
affairs of tb.3 Bank. There is no use in j
whipping the Devil around the bush in |
this matter. Col. Wallace's negligence j
in ?he administration of the affairs of the !
Bank is the main cause cf the wreck, [
and if he had attended to his business
as he ought to have done, and as the j
law prescribed for those holding such j
positions, the Bank to-day would not be j
in a depleted condition. Col. Wallace I
was paid a good salary for the j
express purpose of exercising reasonable j
and proper care and diligence in the I
affairs of the Back which was placed j
under his immediate supervision, and j
he is responsible for all gross errors or i
ignorance or decided negligence or lack j
of proper care and skill in the manage- j
ment of the same. J
To what extent the Directors of the 1
Bank can be held liable, the following
extract from the By-laws of the Sumter
National Bank will show :
*'examination.
'Sec. 25. There shall be appointed by
the Board of Directors every 3 mouths
a Committee of three (3) members
thereof whose duty it shall be to exam
ine into the affairs of the Bank, to j
count its-cash and compare its assets j
and liabilities with balance on the gtn- j
eral ledger for the purpose of aseertaiog i
whether or not the books of the Bank !
are correctly kept, and the condition of j
the Bank corresponding therewith, and i
whether or not the Bank is iu a sound
and solvent condition-, the result of j
which examination shall be reported to j
the Board at their next regular meeting ' t

Mr Editor : Fodder pulling is about over;

some instances one-half the crop is already ;

The corn crop in this section Is regarded as j
above * he average, fine crops t?eii>g made on !

Good farmers here seem to think that the !
cotion crop has been over-estimated, ?nd, on \ \
the who'ie, the crop is m>i os food ?$ hist | !

p'aces to produce a b:i!e ar:d a half per acre. : i
but the fruit is not there. A great ?i-.ti of the !
crop has open attacked by rust and its ;

Glenn Springs and Vicinity.
Glenn Spicings, Aug. 29, 'S7.
Dear Watchman and Southron: What recol
lections will not the mention of this famous
old health resort bring to the minds of many
of your readers ! For even in the palmy days
1 before tbe war" crowds from the lower sec
tions of the Stale Socked here to drink of the
health-giving waters before seeking tbe in
vigorating air of tbe mountains. Here?in
the romautic nooks surrounding the hotel?it
is said, many of the men of the State, who
have since been victorious in life's battles,
won their fiistand sweetest victory. What
wooings, what lover's quarrels and reconcili
ations have not these stately old trees looked
down upon !
Glenn Springs is situated in the midst of a
beautiful rolling-country twelve miles from
Spartanburcr, and isquite accessible, although
no railroad has yet reached the place. A
daily back line is run from Spartanburg and
also" from Rich Hill, a point distant six miles
on the S. & U. R. R. There is every indica
tion now tbat the road from Columbia via
Newberry and Glenn's to Spartanburg, which
has been contemplated for some time, will be
completed in time for the travel of ne&I sea
son. A large part of this road has been
graded and it will be vigorously pushed to
completion.
The hotel is a commodious old-fashioned
building erected in 1S32, and is surrounded
by magnificent oaks. Two rows of neat cot
tages and ''North Cottage/* a nice new build
ing are at tbe service of the guests who prefer
the quiet impossible to maintain in the hotel
proper. The grassy lawn is dotted with rus
tic seats, swings tor tbe little folks and cro
quet for their elders. As soon as the weather
permits the grace and skill of the young peo
ple wili be displayed upon the Tennis Court.
A large, well-ventil.ited ball-room is one of
the attractions of the tnterior of the betel.
Here a good band plays every evening and tbe
room is tilled with meny dancers.
On the left of the hotel a broad walk leads
to tbe Spring, the waters of which have re
stored so many invalids to health. For those
who wish to loiter by the way benches are
placed at convenient distances ; and for oth
ers of a romantic turn there is a lovely path
leading around the hill and through a forest
of mighty oaks. At the Spring there are two
pavilions where the health-seekers congregate
to discuss their many complaints, drink tbe
water and gossip. Some of tbe more bilious
add to these amusements tbe delight atforded
by a hearty condemnation of the young peo
ple who sit in groups about the fish pond or
are noisy over a game of Bowls at tbe Alley
nearby.
Messrs. Simpson & Simpson, the proprietors,
are the most courteous and attentive hosts
possible. Sparing no pains to make every
one comfortable, they are deservedly popular
with their many guests. The smiling face
and cheery greeting of their aged father who
was once a prominent lawyer of the State,
and whose life was saved by these wonderful
waters, is always a pleasure to his many
friends. The shipment of the water in tbe last
twelve months has been nearly double that
of the previous year, and as the demand con
stantly increases very little of the water will
be allowed to waste in the future It is now
shipped regularly to points as far West as the
Mississipi i River.
About five miles distant is an iron spring
known as West Spring, the health giving
qualities of whose waters seem to t-e phenom
enal. Your correspondent drove over there
a few day? since and in conversation with an
old gentleman of tbe neighborhood seventy
Sve of age, was informed that bis doctor's
bill for thirty years had been a dollar and a
quarter, "and that," he added "come about
iu this way. Polly, my wife, was a gapin'
one day and she gaped her jaw oat o' jinr.
I sot off for Dr. Smith, but when we" got
back. Polly had done gaped agin and got
her jaw buck in jint. Dr. Smith, he said as
bow he hadn't done nothin' for her he'd only
charge mileage.1 ' We fee! sure that the re
nowned doctor regretted thai be was too late
to display the skill acquired iu Parisian hos
pitals upon "Polly'sj;nt."
Upon tbe whole Glenn's is a charming
place to visit and we advise all who have
never visited the place to uumber it among
the delightful summer resorts of the up-couu
try. This season, so far, has been a most sue
cessful one, and dally arrivals continue to
swell the crowd already here.
The 8th of September will be a gala day
here. Arrangements bave been perfected for
a grand Tournament in the morning, a match
game of Base Ball in the afternoon and the
Ball of the season that evening, the music for
which will be furnished by the kalian band of
Charlotte. A iarge crowd is expected and we
doubt not everv one will be repaid tor corn
as- , C.
Tne Glenn Springs Tournament
The season at Glenn Springs is tobe wound
up with a grand tournament and bail on
Thursday, September Sth.
Tbe tcuroameut begins at 10 o'clock A. M.,
the riders will ride in costume and the success
ful knight will be given a golden crown, be- ;
sides which there are four prizes aggregating
$10.
In the afternoon some ball playing is pro- !
raised; and at night, beginning at 9 o'clock, j
comes the grand bait. To accommodate the j
crowd of d:inc?-rs expected two halls and two j
bands have been engaged. The Charlotte J
Italian Band wili play in one and the Col uni- j
bra String Band in tbe other. Among the
n*mes of the managers cf this grand affair we
notice those of Hon. it. Lb Lee, W. D. Biand
ing, Esq. .and Prof. L. W. Dick, of Sumter.

Mr.-Editor, say to "Guv." that when he

Messrs. Westmoreland Bros. : I have for
years been a sufferer from weak stomach?lack
of power to digest food?and consequently
general debility. I had tried all helps that
eminent physicians and all the mate.ia mediea
could suggest, and fouud little or no relief.
Your Calisaya Tonic was recommended to me
by a friend who had used it, who had been
suffering like rayseif. 1 tried it, and by the
use of three or four bottles found I was much
Stronger, could eat and sleep and do hard
work as I never did "before. It is now more
than a year that I have enjoyed uninterrupted j
good health, and by the occasional use of
3our Touic I hnve enjoyed a degree of health
that I have not enjoyed for fifty years, and 1
have now got to the three-score. I am very
desirous tb*t others suffering as I have done
should know the great value of your Tonic,
and therefore make this statement that it
should induce them to trv it.
