Pennington, J, E. Keels, P A ^fowman and W. I. Harby on Bail. ? Up* to Tery recently it seemed to bc general belief that there was not mach lt hood of heil being granted to the a named gentlemen. However on last Tl day Maj. H. Prank Wilson broke the ic applying to Chief Justice Simpson for bai! his client, Mr. K. Pennington to whom it granted in the som of four thousand dol! On last Saturday Samuel Melton, Esq., a similar step, and secured bail for hts eli Mr. J. R. Keels in the same amount requ Of Mr. Pennington. Similar applies.t Tere made on yesterday for Messrs. P. iJowman and W. I. Barby by their attora The Columbia correspondent of the Xezcs Gamer gives the following account of proceedings : "COLUMBIA, January 31.-At 12 o'clock day there was a formidable array of h taJeai assembled in the State Supreme Co room, where Chief Justice Simpson was ] - siding. The occasion was the application ? heil by Walter I. Harby and P. 6. Bowna 'Who were implicated in the killing of T Justice' George E- Hayn3worth. Bail already been granted to the others who H concerned in die Sumter riot,'and it has b generally considered, that the State's c against Bowman and Harby was con side stronger than against the other two. 1 .v! prisoners were present,* and the sheriff Sumter was also in the vicinity, but he k I edy a nominal guard. "Messrs W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, a R. D. Lee of Sumter, directed the argume particularly in favor of Harby, while Mess Bobert Aldrichj'of Barnwell, Marion Moise, '; Sumter, devoted their efforts to placing Bo man's ease in a favorable light. "Attorney General Earle, for the State H to meet the defence single-handed. "Mr. Moise opened by reading a number r|f affidavits favorable to Mr. Bowman. Mr. I read several affidavits in Mr. Harby's fav< The attorney g?n?ral then produced a narai of affidavits going to show that Bowman h commenced the firing ; that np to that ti: no other pistol had been drawn, and tba: pistol shot from Harby bad probably kill Mr. Haynsworth. The reading of these pant occupied an hour and forty-five minutes. "Argument was begun by Mr. Lee, wi spoke for an hour and twenty minutes. 1 began bystating that he was relying upon t Constitution of the State to obtain BarKj . liberty. It was the duty of the State to she . that there was a strong presumption of mu der, ?nd where was there such a presumpth ia this case? Where was the malice? T! State's evidence was alluded to as 'chafi upon which ho reliance could be placed. M r- Lee, claimed that all the evidence went show that the fatal shot had been fired t John B. Keels. In conda sion the attorm Stated that bail had already been granted ' two men who had participated in the fraca sod that if it was now refused to Harby ti public mind would be influenced, and that tl influence of the public mind often leads to b floence in the jury box. uIt being* theo 3 o'clock, with three mo arguments for the prisoners and the argumei of the attorney general to folio w, a recess w? taken until 4:30. * "At 4:30 P. M., argument was resume< Mr. Moise speaking for one hour. His argi mest was in favor of Mr. Bowman. "Attorney General Earle, for the Stat? thea made an exhaustive argument of nearl oaeaad a half hours. He claimed that thei was strong evidence of murder, and that th: was a case where bail was not allocable. I conclusion he stated that it was with extrem regret that he had been obliged to proseen i this case, that circumstances made it exceec ingly painful, but in the performance of hi duty as attorney general be could not will draw, and bad made the State of South Cai dina's case as strong as he could. **X^. Benet for Mri Harby spoke for one an a quarter hours. He went over the. emir ground from first to last aud was disposed t fix the killing of Mr. Haynsworth oo youn Keels. He concluded by saying that he wa sure the Justice would not be influenced in hi decision by the opinion of the press and th people. MMr. Aldrich spoke for fifty minutes. A 9.15 the argument which began over sevei , boars before, was concluded. .'Chief Justice Simpson did not go over th< evidence. He said that the sec J icc of the Con ?titntion providing for bail under certain cir constances overhung this case. He ratbei justified young Keels in shooting at Bowmat through the window. "Was Keels to stand bj with folded arms while his,father was being shot to death by Bowman ? It was not ir haman nature that he should hare done so. In conclusion he said proof of gui't was aol Sufficiently clear to him for him to refuse bail, and be would grant it in the sum of $5,000 each. "Counsel stated that Mr. Bowman, perhaps, could not furnish that sum, aad they did not think the bail for these mea should be greater than that of Pennington and Keels. Mr. Bowman stated to the Court that he could give bond for $5,000, and the Cn:ef Justice made DO change in his first decision." Messrs. P. G. Bowman and W. I Harby ^rired in Sumter on the twelve o'clock train last night, and proceeded immediately to the Clerk's office, where the necessary require? ments in giving bail were atteuded to ; and by one o'clock these gentlemen were out cf the custody of the Sheriff. Mrs. O. H. Moses and Mr. Horace Harby are Mr. W. I. Harby's surtiees. Capt. B. G. Pierson, Mr. F. J- O'Connor and Lieut. W. T. Howard of Marion, are Mr. P. G. Bowman's sureties. . Messrs. W. A.

Last Thursday evening will loog be re- j ' membered by the lady folks of this commu- : nity. It was the occasion of the Leap Year ? Ball, and there was a complete revolution in the general order of things. The Prince- | Alberts and the cut-aways were no-where but , the frocks were everything on that occasion. I The sodden change of situation from a full- j fledged man to that of an innocent a nil enso- } phhwieaied boy-girl was very embarrassing j indeed, aud these debatani maidens were [ much frightened when the ball opened ia all its glory and splendor, but-they soon became less shy as they were taken oat by the Leap Year gents and initiated into the delicious art of round dancing*. The whole affair was so admirably managed by the temporary gentlemen that all they will have to do now is to ask and "it shalt be given unto them." The last feature of the programme for danc? ing was the german which was led by Mr. R. S. Hood and Miss Phillips.

Suicide of Mike Hammell in Man? ning. The Manning Tines of Feb. 1st, says: About 10 o'clock last Friday morning, Mr. Mike Hammell went to Dinkm's & Co's drag store, and asked for ten cents worth of lsuda num. Dr. Dinkins asked him if he had been drinking any that day, to which he replied that he had not tasted a thing that morning. He said he could not sleep of nights, and ask? ed Dr. Dinkins what was a dose. Dr. Din king told him not to take more than twenty drops. As the bottle was handed him be asked Dr. Dinkins if half ia the bottle would kill a man. Dr. Dinkins toW him it would unless the maa was accustomed co drinking it. Mr. Hamme:! then went to his shop, and in about a half hour's time he called a negro workman to him, and told him he had just drunk a ?bottle of laudanum. The negro immediately reported the fact to the drug stores. Dr. Dinkins at once went to him, carrying a i powerful emef.c with him. When be got ! there Mr. Hammell said : ''Little did you thick, Dr. Dinkins, when 1 got that lauda? num, what I was going to do with it. ! have swallowed it all, and I feel it now in my bowel*. You needn't try to do anything for me. I have no reason for it, but I want to d;e to quit this green earth and go to a bet? ter world." Dr. Dinkins immediately ad? ministered a very large dose of hypo, but lo no effect. Dr. Brown also came to his assist? ance, and everything was done that could be done. The dose of laudanum, however, was so large that ia about three hours he died. Mr Hammell had been drinking very hard for about six weeks, a?d of 'ute had hei-n verv restless, and gave other evidence that he was in an abnormal condition, ile had dur-j ing the few days preceding his death, been ! up a great deni at nights, wandering about ? U<f stree-s. and had remarked that he was ; almost afraid of himself. So much drink had j unbalanced his mind, and he committed the j fearful deed which ushered him befurc the great as^z^-s. .Michael ?t.tmmell WHS born in Rnbway, j New Jersey, in 1833, and was therefore fifty? rl ce vears of age ar the tim? of his death, j He? came South.'in 1S5 ?, and sur-s-quer?t?y i located at Bishopville, in Sumter (.'o., S.

Watchman and Southron : Sad and solemn the thought that one of our best citizens has been called from his sphere of honor and usefulness. We will net fully appreciate the loss, while excitement rules the hour, but the future of calm will open the wounds afresh and make the State wail, that she has lost one of her best citizens. The above thoughts suggest themselves from tbe death of George 5. Haynswortb, a friend of the writer, who reels as mnch for the pen era!, as bis individual loss. He was a Lieu? tenant in the Company the writer command? ed in Fort Sumter. He was conscientious in the discbarge of his duties and took cjreat in? terest in the welfare of the men of his Com? pany ; under fire he was brave and cool ; as a man he was honest, earnest and true ; as a citizen, patriotic and public spirited ; as a friend, warm and open-hearted ; as an officer, firm and high-toned. Hts many comrades of the First Regiment of Artillery, will mourn his untimely taking off. G. B. felling a Coffin. STATEIXRS. S. C., Jan. 29, +888. Mr. Editors The negroes aroand here are in a great state of perturbation. The other day the Sheriff sent his deputy, who had just quit the undertaking business at Wedgefield and had not yet sold oct bis stock in trade, to arrest one Henry Brown. The negroes say that the deputy walked up to Brown's mother-rn-law's house, where he was "living, and tried *o sell her a coffin. She sayB' that as she did not happen to want one, she refused to buy : whereupon this deputy jerked'out a pair of handcuffs and "made for" Brown, who dash? ed off and that then, this aforesaid deputy did then and there, pull out "er pistul and run Brown all-'ronn and 'roun de hills, tekkin er l crack 'aler bim, wbeneber he cud git er site onim." Between every shot they say they could hear the deputy mutter "I'll be dam efl don't sell you a coffin." and as the last shot showed Brown still running, he remarked, "I got to get a shot gun before 1 kin sell those coffins." This is the state of affairs that Mr. Thomas, who was present, reports, and says that be somewhat quieted them by telling them that there was a reward offered for orown and that this man was a deputy sheriff sent to arrest him, and that then, one tall old black gentleman'exclaimed, "ar-e indeed I But, Mr. Thomas, hits er mi tey bad ting ter mak er deperty outer er undertaker, and gee um er pistul."

The follow? ing outline includes the larger topics of the year: Pocahontas teaches a little early American history through the year; a French siorr, Susanna's Auction, full of amusement; a story a month entitled Laura's Holidays, sug gests toother little girls what they can do on holidays; a story a month on Tiny Folks ia j Armor, which means beetles; a flower poem ! in every number; Buffy's (six-*. Letters to his j Mistress, (Buffy is a coon-cat J ; six Mexican stories on Little People of the Plaz^ also ! about some Mexican animals. Besides there are roany, too matty to tel! of, stories short and bright and unexpecied. \Vith all this entertainment of picture and humor there is a | serious purpose all through implied in the I j name, Our Little Men and Women.

The Abbeville Press and Banner discourses thusly as to the preference between festivals and cantatas as a means of raising money for church pur? poses : 'Shall a man cat a turkey in the mid? dle of the night-regardless of ugly j dreams-to raise money for foreign missions ? . I 'Shall a lovely woman eat a gallon of oysters, to raise money to buy a new carpet for the church ? j. 4Is our piety to be gauged by our j ability to drink lemonade and ice cream ? ! 'Do these eatiug matches tend to the j elevation of our morals or to the benefit of our souls ? j 'Will the man who has eaten a tur I key for foreign missions, and drunk a J j barrel of lemonade to bay a church car- ! ? pet, get. a richer reward ut the pearly j ! gates than lie who ate no turkey at all, j ! or who had no liking for lemonade? 'Of the two-theatres or eating ! i matches-we believe a theatre to be the j I lesser evil. In a properly conducted ? ' theatre-call it cantata, if you prefer- j thete- is something to appeal to the ! ?i ea rt arni the soul. In the eating i match, there is only a catering to the \ physical side of our nature."

It is interesting to trace the evnlu- j ! tions of words and expressions. Cul- j j tivated people say *Ilow do you do V j Those who are less precise say. .Howdy j ?do?' In the backwoods of Ten o ess? e j thry say 'Howdy V The uoble red! ! man of the West says 'How'/' While j [ thc cat on the fence says Ow V j Delinquent Tax Law. The new delinquent tax law is so different from the law under which delinquencies have heretofore been handled that it is well for tax-payers and prospective buyers of delinquent lauds to know something: about its workings. Immediately upon the expiration of the lime allowed by law for the pay? ment of taxes, the treasurer will issue a warrant or execution against each defaulting tax-payer. This execution is directed to the Sheriff, and requires him to levy the same by distress and sale of so much of the defaulting tax? payer's estate, real or personal, or both, as may be sufficient to satisfy the taxes. Under the execution the Sheriff must, after doe advertisement, sell the estate so seized before the i court hou?e door on a regular sales day and within the usual hours for public sales, for cash*, make titles therefor to the purchaser complying with the terms of sale, and annex to said title the duplicate warrant with ? endorsement of his action, put the purchaser in possession of the prop? erty, and after deducting from the proceeds ot sale the amount of taxes and charges to pay over the excess, if any, to (he defaulting tax-payer, and the taxes so collected to the county treasurer. In case there is no bid equal to the amount of taxes named, the county auditor will buy the land for the Sink? ing Fund Commission as the actual purchasers, for the amount of taxes, penalties, costs . and charges, and mles will be executed to the Commis? sion in the same manntr ae to private parties. In all cases of sale the Sheriffs deed of conveyance will be held and taken as prima facie evidence of a good title in the holder and that all proceedings have been regular. No action for the recovery of such land sold by the Sheriff under the provis? ions of the Act will be maintained, unless brought within two years from the dateof sale* In case the defaulting tax-payer, after levy of distress, shall allege that the taxes have been paid, or are un? justly assessed against him, he can Uave the sale suspended by paying to the Sheriff the amount of taxes and costs named in the execution, arco's* panied by his affidavit, and within twenty days may take such steps as are provided by law for correction of: such error. Some'of our contemporaries are again at work on the questioo, 'Why are the negroes dying out co rapidly ?* The* death rate among the colored people of the South is very large, but it is unsafe to argue that therefore they are decreas? ing, though al first sight that would be a very natural view to take. It is the birth rate'that tells the story, aod that is so great that the four hundred ibos> sand negroes at the beginning of this century have grown to be something over seven million.
