An Expressive Face. In Friday** ?ssae, 10th inst., tke JSTeto* arid Courier presented its readers, or ?orne of them at least, with a vacant space on the 6th page, at the foot of which was the name of the man who was hang at Chicago last Friday, for the molder of Preller.

By this time the peopie ought to be able to vote understaadingly. We snppose everybody will be here to wel? come the noble army of candidates, and hear them discuss the great, li nag issoes of the day.

Monday was a gala day to oar colored population. An excursion train which ar? rived at 10.20 o'clock brought several hun? dred respectably dressed colored people, who soon scattered about our city and made the streets lively. A game of hall was played in the afteraoofi, which resulted in a victory for Samter by a score of ? to 6. There were no fights, and few arrests, our vigilant police? men seemiog to be ubiquitous, and "bug juice" more amiable than usual tn i's effects. The excursionists returned after the regular trains had passed, tired but happy.

One of the boldest and most desperate as? saults ever made in this County occurred on Saturday night between Atkins and Mares ville on the W. C. * A. road. Capt. Hen? dricks, the veteran coaductor on the Wades boro train, which runs between Sumter and Wadesboro, just after leaving Atkins went through the train to collect fares, when be saw four colored men on the plat? form between the gecond and first class cars. He asked for their fare, when one of them baid roughly, "f ve paid my. fare already." This Capt. Hendricks denied and again de? manded his fare. Thereupon the negro struck bim violently on the face with his fist and knocked him down. Immediately another of the four caught the Captain by his legs and a third 3at upon bim and held bim down. Just then Mrs. Harry Hoyt, who with ber husband was returning from Carterville, seeing tbe Captaio fall, exclaimed to her husband : "They've killed Captain Hendricks." Mr. Hoyt immediately sprang to his feet, and seiz? ing bis parlor rifle, which be happened to have with him, ran out tc the platform as if to ?re oe the assaulting puny. Seeing him thus, the roar negro?s'let Xht Captain go and leaped from the train, which was running about forty miles an bc ur. ' By the time the train could slack up the negroes bad made good their escape. Ori arriving ar. Majes ville, the other negroes on tbe train were per I suaded to tell who the four ruffians were, and their names were taken by Capt. Hendricks, 3vbo, when taken u?, was fou rfd to be severe ! ly hurt, but is now .'ddt n g well. j Further.investigation sbow3 that the whole I affair waa' premeditated, and the object was ?robbery.

According to promise we publish this week Mr. Beasley's reply to the Strictures of the Christian Advocate on Mr. Leitch's article as above entitled.

IN VINDICATION. Mr. Editor: I have just read the card of T. M. Gilland in reply to my inquiries, and will say he is not the mauner of man to pass judg? ment on any man's character. It is true that I ?im a emull farmer, but will gladly submit my cfiaracer to the test in comparison with our self-proclaimed "Aristocrat" and not fear the result. First. Let us see how the inquiries sUnd, and if true. Did you obtain from the County Commissioners a so-called fee without war? rant of law? I refer to claims No. 74 and 232 County Commissioner's office, which wera paid. Secondly. Did you present a claim for a retaioer fee for $200 to the County Commis? sioners that had no existence and the County Commissioners did not employ you ? Messrs. W. R. Singietary aud W. E.

On Tuesday, the 7th of August, I found myself in the beautiful county seat of Claren? don County. Having made some crude at? tempts at school teaching, when quite a giri, I felt sufficiently interested in the Teachers' work to attend the second Inter-County Insti? tute for the mutual benefit of the teachers of Clarendon and Sumter counties. We had present with U3,. daring oar brief session, Professors Joy oes, Morrison and Stokes, and also Prof. "Nettles who resides in the town. These gentlemen are wide-awake educators, and rendered the meeting exceed? ingly pleasant and profitable. Prof. Joynes, who is a dear old man, warmly defended many of the old methods of teaching, which he asserted had been discarded, and supplant? ed by an exaggeration of the new methods. He brought a charge against the young people of the present day, in which I fear there is more troth than poetry, viz : that we are all more or less deficient ia Orthography? His assertion that this branch is too much neglect? ed in ocr modern system of teaching, I know from my limited experience, to be very true, Prof. Joynes is a reformer and calls for a halt in our exaggeration of new methods to the entire detriment of all that is good tn the old methods. He counsels ns as teachers to hold fast to all that is good in the old methods, at the same time adopting all that is worthy io the new. Prof. Joynes approves of Object Teacbiog to a certain extent, also the use of the diagram in Reed & Kellogg's first steps, bot thioks it entirely impracticable as osed in the advanced grammar. He stood, in battle array against the younger brethren, most of the time, but they clang to their views with ao equal tenacity. Prof. Morfiscn's lectures on Local History were delightful entertaining. All the Professors interspersed their talks with ao amount of ready wit, good homor and pleasant reminiscences, that combined to render the meeting truly & "feast of reason and flow of sonl." The teachers were right roy? ally entertained by the good people of Man? ning, The intolerable heat was eodured with a soblirne fortitude as every day some good Samaritan treated us to ao abuodaoce of cool? ing lemooade. A reception, haviog suitable refreshments on the programme was given in oor behalf in the Court House on Friday evening. I enjoyed during my stay the onbouoded hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Bradham. May the gallaot soldier continue to receive at the bands of his County a just appreciation of trae courage, and valuable service. I went over all the town, and consider it a favored spot, where Dame Nature has been most lav? ish io her gifts. I particularly noted the numerous and magnificent oaks, which per? chance have extended their grateful shade to the weary pedestrian for a quarter or half centory. The neat and beautiful residences are built with a most desirable space inter? vening; aod the life-giving water is hardly surpassed by that of the op-couDtry. On^the eleventh I was joyfully whirled homeward, but left the enchanted spot with lingering regrets. I think all the teachers mu3t baTe been greatly beoe?tted aod eocour aged to persevere in their noble work, I must oot omit the comic feature of oar gathering together. "While all went merry as a marriage bell" at the reception, an union really took place. One of Sumter's fair teachers oo that gloomy J Friday eve knelt at Hymen's altar, aod then and there decided to put into practical operation the suggestions of the week oo management, obedience, kc. Yours truly, VISITOR. [ADVERTISEMENT.] FOR CLERK-TH?S. E. RICH? ARDSON. To the Votera of Sumter County : You are about to elect some one to fill the office of Clerk of the Court. Yon want a mao of character and intelligence for that position. Such an one you will find io Mr. Thomas E. Richardson, who offers himself as a candidate for jouc suffrages. Without reflecting or desiring to reflect upon or against any other candidate, we de? sire to call your attention to the following facts with regard to Mr. Richardson, which prove that he is the kind of man you want. He fills the requirements in ever}' particular. 1st. He is well koowa as a gentleman of fine intelligence and good education. 2d. For the greater part of the last twenty years he has been engaged io such pursuits as could not fail to qualify him for the position he now seeks. As the clerk and private secretary of the late distinguished jurist, Jas. S. G. Richard? son, Esq., shortly after the war, he became very familiar with the forms of law and legal documents. As a clerk in the Sheriffs office, later on, under the instructions of his father, who for many years ably and faithfully administered .that office, be became more familiar with .every species of office work, such as filing and recording papers aod indexing the books. As the amanuensis of James S. G. Richard? son, Esq., at the time of his death, who was then and for many years Reporter of the eases argued before the Supreme Court of the State aod decided by that Court, it fell to him to complete the preparation of the 10th volume of State .Reports for publication, and compil? ing the-.ipdex for the same, a work requiring greatipains.and care, and which was done to the .en' tire satisfaction of the Bar of the State. As a Ecial .Justice, where he acted both as Judge and Clerk of his Court, Mr. Richard? son gave such satisfaction that a jury was ?ever a?ked for by litigants in his Court, and tot only two appeals ever taken from bis de? cisions were afterwardsahandoned. As deck for Messrs. Moises.& Lee and for Maj. Marton Moise, Sqlicitor of the Sumter Building umd .Lima Association., it has fallen to bim to investigate a great .many titles to real estate rt corded in .the Glqnk's office, a duty which has necessarily made him entirely familiar with the-da.ails.of that office. It will be seeo ?hat thc whole teoor of Mr. Richardson's life hy been such as toi?t him for the office of Clerk ff the?uprt. ?He ?knows the laws garerniag the ciffice. .He is entirely aware of the dangers and nenahies resulting fnxn loose aod careless work therein, and therefore appr?ci?tes to their fn.'lest extent the duties and responsibilities of tb2 position be seeks. In addition to all this, ive,call your attention to the fact that when the .lamented W.H. Cuttioo died, Mr. T. E. Rich^dson received the endorsement of many leading members of this Bar, the Judge of this cir? cuit, the present incumbent of the Cierk'> office, and other prominent citizens who ali testified that he was "a gentleman of undoubt? ed fitness as to character and business quali? fications to be appointed to the vacancy ia the office of Clerk of tbe Court for Sumter County." These facts, joined with Mr. Richardson's other wel!-knowe services to the County and State, entitle him to recognition at your hands. We hope you will give them their due weight when yon come to cast your votes for this important office.

Thos Paulk, of Berrien County. Would not take' $1,000 for it-Relieved of Fifteen Years1 Suffering from Dyspepsia. ALAPAHA, GA., June 22, 1887.-B. B. B. Company, Atlanta Ga.--Gentlemen : 1 bad suffered from that terrible disease, Dyspepsia, for over fifteen years, and during that time tried everything 1 could hear of, and spent over three hundred dollars in doctors' bills, without receiving the slightest benefit. In? deed, I continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief a friend recommended B B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), and I began using it; not, however, expecting to be benefitted. After using haifa bottle I was satisfied that I was being benefitted, and when the sixth bottle was taken I felt like a new man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it bas done me; in fact, the relief I derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe that I would have died had I not taken it. Respectfully, etc. THOMAS PAULE.
