Skinner, of George? town, lost his siiver watch and chain ; and a Mr. Hamer, of Williamsburg, lost a silver watch.

Powell, the director of the bureau, and is a credit to his scientific knowledge and bis rare good taste. The work is profusely illustrated, and is really a very interesting book. In the recent correspondence from this place to the "metropolitan" papers, in referring to Court matters injustice was done to the Clerk of Court by stating that his books were im? properly kept-instead of which it will be seen by reference to the Grand Jury Present? ment, that the only trouble is in regard to an index book, for which the Clerk is in no way responsible.

In the issue of Iltii instant there were only ten personals and among those we read : Col. William Elliott, of Beaufort, was at 4he Charleston Hotel yesterday. Col. William Elliott, member of Congress from the 7th district, arrived ia the eily last aight. Congressman Elliott passed through the city yesterday on bis way to Beaufort, hay? ing been in Georgetown for the past few day9 making campaign speeches. This is laying it on thick sure enougb. When Congressman Tillman pays the "City bj the Sea" a visit, just for curiosity sake we wil* peruse the "persocals" of the News and Courier and wonder why ? Goods of same quality can be bought at FdSQtc'S ?a low as anywhere iu the ??tate. A Romantic Marriage. A romantic and happy marriage occurred at 305 East Fair street last evening. The contracting parties were Miss Lizzie Patrick and Mr. L. W. Phillips. Just after.dusk last evening as the young lady and her mother, a widow, were sitting together before a comfortable fire the door be?l rang. Mrs. F*.:nck answered the call. She recognized her visitors at once as Rev. father McCall, Mr. J. F. Ragsdale and Mr. ! L. W. Phillips, the latter of whom had for some time past been paying attention to Miss Patrick. Mr?. Patrick wag, of course, sur? prised, but welcomed tier guests and waited .for an explanation ot the visit. The company chatted pleasantly for a few miaute.?, when Mrs. Patrick was called from the room for a few minutes. Upon her return she found the little party standing, her daugh? ter's hand in that of Mr. Phillip's as they stood facing Father McCall. Before the good 1 lady could fairly realize what was being done the ceremony-for marriage ceremony it was -was completed. A few minutes Nier the mother had re? covered from ber surprise, ?nd was smilling a blessing thresh her tears. The young couple will make A:i-.ota their future borne, and have hosts of friends who wish them a happy future.-Atlante Constitution, October, 12. Death by Accident. On ye?terdaj (Tuesday) morning-about 4 o'clock a most distressing accident occurred at the Sumter Cotton Milli, by which Mr. Joseph Jeffords, a young man about 22 or 23 years old, lost his life. The deceased was in charge of tba ''Picker," (tbe machine which begms the operation of preparing the cotton for Che cards.) This machine ia in a separate room from the other part of the mill, and the deceased was the only person io the room at the moment of the occurrence. Mr. J. R. Kolb was in charge of the card room and gave the following testimony be? fore the Coroner's inquest : The card room is about 25 feet from the picker room. At about 4 o'clock I asked the deceased how long before he could give me some laps. He answered "right away." I then went out of the picker room, and back to the card room. I went back into the pick? er room in about two minutes. I found the belt on the loose pulley and the deceased was .hanging with his right arm over the shaft, and bis clothes were wound around the shaft? ing. His clothes were strong and were not toro. I let the bosses know tt as quick as possible after I found him. Singleton Brad? ford, Will Wingard, and Will Hicks came to help. When we cut his clothes loose from the shaft he was dead. I think he was dead when I first foand him. I saw no sign of life in him. The machinery was ail stof ped." The testimony of the above named parties corroborated this testimony and the jury gave a verdict of death by accident The inquest was held by Trial Justice, and ! acting Coroner, A. hy Stuckey. It is supposed that the deceased, while changing the belt to the loose pulley, in order to stop the picker and get the "laps" for the card room, was oaugbt in some way by the belt and pulled up to the shifting. The sadaess of the accident is added to by tbe fact that the deceased was married only a few months ago, and also tb*t he is the third i grown child that hi3 parents have followed to j the grave within this year. Court. j The Court of Gerreral Sessions having j finished up all of the cases that it werepossi j ble to try at this term on the criminal docket adjourned sine die this morning, after passing sentence upon the convicted, and the Court of Common Pleas immediately convened. The work of the Court since our last issue is published below. Faraby Singleton, arson-guilty-10 years in penitentiary. Sam Walker, rape-not guilty. Robt.

The presentments of the Grand Jury can be j found elsewhere and we commend a careful perusal of the saree to our readers. Yesterday morning wheo Court opened counsel for P. G. Bowman made a motion for a new trial. The motion was overruled by the Judge, who then stated that be could not see how the counsel could ask for a new trial under existing circumstances. Counsel for the defence theo entered an appeal to the Supreme Court. Judge Press?ey in sentencing John R. Keels, Esq , for carr, ing concealed weapons which offence he admitted in his direct examination told him that ;e jury had been very light on { bim. The Juc ;v before sentencing Mr. Keels j gave him a lee: -e full of sound and wbole I some advice which may be a blessing to bira ? in the future. j The friends of Mr. J. R. Keels raised the J amount of his fine and paid it for him Tr.e Judge announced this moraine that he j would not U v any more of the Bowman, I Keels, &c, cases at this Court; that he ( thought it belter to bold them over-there being only four more days left for the holding . of Court, aod" the verdicts thus far in these cases not amounting to much. --^^^^-?-*~ ?ii - j Presentment of the Grand Jury of I Sumter County, Oct. Term, "1888. , To Hie Honor, Judge B. C. Prestlry, Pre? siding : The Grand Jury beg to present that they have by committees examined books and offices of Connty and are gratified to be able to report that they find the same to proper shape and condition. Complaint having been made as to incor? rectness of Index of Clerk's office, which was mads by recommendation of the Grand Jury, two years ago, the Grand Jury committee called Messrs. Earle, Hayasworth and Lee, attorneys, before them, and after a conference and consultation with said attorneys are of the opinion that while the work is a great help to any one who wishes to refer to records, the work is to some extent (while reasonably well done) incorrect and incomplete and they recommend that the present County Board, have the work gone over by Mr.* W. F. Rhame, the contractor and performer of said work, (or some other competent person to correct and complete the same) at expense of Board of County Commissioners. Referring to County Poor House the Grand Jury report that rhey are satisfied that said institution is properly and humanely conducted by the present incumbent. The following work is needed and recommended to be done by j County Board ; A partition in stove and din I ing room, which is now one ; a chimney to dining room, the brick for which is on hand ard at the spot ; patching of roof of three or fou?' of the out-buildings, and snperintend eut's ?.ouse, repairing back of chimney's of maio dwei.'ing, and repairing a few of the gash and blinds to main building. The Grand J u'ry are sorry to report that the Trial Justices of the County have not ! complied with the Jav% in making their I monthly reports to the Auditor and the So j licitor of the Circuit, seems to have forgotten j or ever-looked bis duty in not having cora ! plete reports from the Trial Justices, and ad I vertising the saina before the Court as re ! quired by ?aw. j " The Grand Jury think there is nothing ] more pertaining to the County deserving the j special attention cf, or mention to the Court, j ezceui the presentment of on? J. E. Stuckey ! and Laura Atkins for living in fornication; witnesses in said case: R. E. Muldrow, A. F. Stuckey, D. Ashby Stuckey, E. T. Has? kins, Bradford Scarborough. Dr. R. Y. McLeod, Walter Rembert and Johnnie Cum? mings. Other cases of this nature have been reported to, and considered by the Grand Jury, but the Grand Jury while satisfied the charges are true, have not convicting evi? dence, and Iherefore think it improper to bring charges. Two of said cases are against white men of some social position, and high connections, who have and are hising fami? lies of children by colored women, in defi? ance of decent society and law. The Grand Jury will give information io tbeir posses? sion in reference to said cases to the succeed? ing Grand Jury. Tbe Grand Jury recommend the establish? ment, by law, of the whipping post for the punishment of petty offences and hereby ?sk the Legislative delegation of Sumter County to introduce and urge the passage of such a bill at the next session of the Legislature. ID conclusion the Grand Jury feel it a priv ilege and pleasure to congratulate the County upon thc unmistakable evidence of the grow? ing sentiment of prohibition ~f the sale and use of intoxicants, and general morality, and express the hope that this sentiment may grow and govern until we have a greatly im? proved County and people. With the ex? pression of appreciation to your Honor, and all the Court officials for courtesies, and aid rendered ; this Presentment is Respectfully submitted, W. D. SCARBOROUGH, Foreman. Special Presentment of the Grand Jury of Sumter County, October Term, 1888. To His Honor, Judge B. C. Pressley, Pretid. ing : The Grand Jury feel it to be their duty to call the Court's attention to the cases of the State vs. John R. Keels, and Peyton G. Bow mau and Walter I. Harby, for assault aod battery, ?fcc, which cases have been contin? ued for two terms at considerable cost to the County, and to the great inconvenience, an? noyance, and expense of a multitude of wit? nesses, amounting to an intolerable injustice and hardship, and respectfully ask and urge the Court, if within its power and the war? rant of the law, to have said cases disposed of at this Term, and at once. The Grand Jury would also present at this stage of the Term, Willis J. Brown, and Fannie White, for living io adultery, the said Willis J. Brown, baring a living wife, the sister of said Fannie White, aod raising children by both women, under the same roof, a condition and practice worse than Mormonism, and ask that the parties be brought before, nod tried by this Court, as the outraged sentiment of the immediate com? munity and the County demand it. Witnesses in above case: J. B. White, J. G. White, Dr. J. A. Mood, Spencer Davis, John I. Brogdon.. Respectfully submitted, W. D, SCARBOROUGH, Foreman. The New Bank.

Mr. Editor: Will you please allow me a ?hort space in your W. & S. to express a few thoughts in memory of Stephen Woodward? Monday last the second anniversary of his death, the frieods and relatives of Stephen Woodward, ever true to his memory, adorned tbe marble abaft, which marked the spot ivhere he fell, and where his young life-blood ?bbed away. I did not know Stephen Woodward per ionally, but thofe who knew bim best, speak in lofty terms of bis high sense of honor and integrity. It will be remembered that on the night of September 30th, 1887, the marks of the vile desecrator was left upon-the monument which has been erected to his memory by loving friends. Happily, this year it was spared the desecration. Stephen Woodward is dead, bot his memory lives and will be cherished aud revered by those who loved and knew him best. The debased wretch who so foully at? tempted to deface his monument may even? tually succeed in his nefarious purpose but will never obliterate'his noble qualities from the bearts of his friends, and the vile attempts of his would-be defamers will never accomplish their purpose. So go on ye base conspirators of the respected dead, spit your evenomed wrath with pitiless mercy upon his grave, dig deep down andeedeavor in your frantic efforts to besmirch bis fair name, but your labor is fu? tile and may yet prove a boomerang which will return and blast your own despicable namts. The memory of Stephen Woodward will live long after your miserable carcases have become food for worms and your names coupled with all that is ignoble and will be odious in comparison with that of Arnold the traitor. A box of beautiful flowers was sent from Newberry by one of his friends and placed upon the monument. A FRIEND. TRADER' MARK O. and O.TEA The Choicest Tea Ertr Offered. ABSOLUTELY PURE.
