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.

Badly Stuck.
The Kew? and Courier is badly stuck oo
Col. William Elliott. 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 ?

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.

Yesterday morning wheo Court opened

under existing circumstances. Counsel for the

Court.
Judge Press?ey in sentencing John R. Keels,
Esq , for carr, ing concealed weapons which
offence he admitted in his direct examination

cases not amounting to much.

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,

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,

TRIBUTE.
BisnopviLLK. S. C., Oct. 8, 1888.
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.
