Mr. R. P. Monaghan has moved his rcsi- I
-dence to the corner of Main and Caldwell
Streets, generally known a3 the Witherspoon

building around his back lot the highest j
fence ia the South. Mr. Monaghan has lately j
doubled the area of his store floor and now j
has one of the largest rooms in the city.
A farmer of this county who last year made j
40 bales of rottoo on 50 acres, says; lii did
DOt ose Ashley Phosphate last year but am J
satisfied, that it is the best fertilizer in the i
market. It is always dry, whereas other j
gua ios are damp.'' The same man quoted i
-one of our promioent merchants as saying, j
tbat he did not handle the Ashley because it j
was more costly than other phosphate?, but j
tbat if he were buyiog for his own use he j
would buy it.
The Sumter Light Infantry
This historical company, after going out !
?of public notice fora while-, has demonstrated :
tbat a most appropriate motto for it is Rcsur- \
gam. At the last two meetings, nine initiates
have donned the well-known uniform. There \
is a scheme on foot for the formation of a j
Stock company to build an armory, it being i
understood that the company shall be allowed ;
to absorb the stock as rapidly as possible. At
present the armory is located over the Planter's j
Ware House and is complete in every appoint
tnent. The company lately purchased the j
books of the Sumter Library Association, :
Numbering several hundred volumes and its;
reading room is quite a p'easant resort. The :
most interesting papers and magnzines are to j
be found in this room. There is but one thing
needed to place the S. L. I. on a thoroughly j
good footing and that is a new set of colors, j
Job Work. !
By job work, in a printing office, is meant j
all sorts of printing, not connected with reg- i
ular publications. Few men know anything
of the labor necessary to produce the beau-j
tiful designs in printing which ornament the i
letters, bills, &c, of those who advertise in j
that way. The juror or witness, when he re- j
ceives his pay, presents a ticket which i^Tn j
itself a work of art and was produced in the !
office of this paper.
The Watchman and Southron bas just added
fifteen fan ts of new type to its already large a3- |
sort men:-type which is of the most costly i
kind-which is probably wortfi two-thirds its i
weight in silver. We claim now to have the j
best equipped job office in the State, outside i
of Charleston, and the best proof of it lies ;
in the fact that our job department is never '.?
without work. We can furnish lithograph, j
steel engraving, photographic printing, blank
books or anything else in our line as cheaply j
as the same work or goods eau be had else- I
where.
The Irving Literary Society.
The entertainment given by this society on i
last Thursday evening was not attended gen- j
era??y, on account of the state of the weather, i
Many believed that no programe would be ren- !
dereel and stayed away for that reason. Not- j
withstanding the snow and min, however, j
the young ladies kept their promise, and 'l ose
who were hardy enough to venture out, were
treated to some delicious music and pretty j
theatricals. The programe was about as
follows :
1. Instrumental solo-Migs Lily Fraser. j
2. Tableau-Group of Classic Statuary.
3. Vocal Duet-Tuscan Folk-Song-Misses
Leia Dick and Laura Fraser.
4. "V^cai Solo-Caller Herrin-Miss Lela !
Dick.
5. Rebecca's Triumph-A play in three ?cts. 1
Between the acts were played : An instru- .
mental duett by Misses Barron and Furman ; :
and an iestrumental solo by Mis3 Mattie
Gregg.
Tbe.entertainment closed with the charade,
Peak Sister?.
It is to be hoped that the ladies of the Irving
Society will repeat their performance at an ?
eatly day for the pleasure of their numerous
friends who were compelled to remain at home ;
on last Thursday. We have seen one of the ?
new badges which have been made for the j
members of this societv. lt is gold, and con- i
sista of an octagonal Maltese cross, the three ;
upper stems of which bear the letters I. L. S. j
and on th; lower are the figures 1687. In
the centre of the badge is an engraving of a
Testal lamp burning.
The Irving Society, although not yet two ;
years old, is recognized as au important part \
of the Sumter Institute. i

The following from the Columbus (Miss.)
Dispatch will be of interest to many. Mr.
Robert L. Burnes is a Sumter man, the son o?
Captain Burnes, now of Ibis county, and ail
will unite in congratulating the latter upon
the brilliant financial aocl matrimonia] suc?
cess of the former. The Dispatch says :
Very quietly and in ibe presence of only a
few intimate friends of the family, at the
residence o? the bride's mother. Mrs. M. E.
Davis. Monday afternoon a 4 o'clock, .Miss
Clemmie Davis and Mr R L. Burnes were
united in bonds of holv matrimony by Rev.
J. S. Oakley, of the M. E. Church South.
There were no cards. Mr. Burnes has for
three years been connected with the Davis
Clock Company, with headquarters at Colum?
bus. He is now manager of the Burnes Clock j
Company, of Terns, and immediately after
the ceremony left for Texas with his beautiful !
wife, beii'g accompanied by Mrs. Davis ?nd
Master Burt Davis. The bi ide whom Mr. |
Burnes has ??von. has been an acknowledged j
beauty in Columbus and is a lady of most I
admirable and wonano ty character. Mr.
Burnes has by energy prudence, and economy J
wo: ked his way to the head of his business |
and the twain begin marrii-d life under i
brightest auspices and with the wish of a
large number of friends for a happy and
prosperous continuation of the same to the
years of ripe old age.

W?lling served the Methodist (.'burch here for i
a short time only,.but his kind and cenia! j
nature, and his ability HS a preacher, e: d ared !
aim to his congregation. Rev. E. 1. Hodges, !
of California, ?3 expected to take his place
before long.
The monthly union meeting will be held |
at the Presbyterian Church next Sunday eve- 1
ning. It is hoped that the new pasror of the 1
Methodist Church wi!! be present and officiate.
Rev. N. B. Williams will preach at Tirzah

Language of Stamps.
"Stamp Language" is used by lovers who !
are under close surveillance. Inverted po?
sition means ul doubt you ;" horizontal
(head to right,) "I love you truly;" hori?
zontal (head to left.) "Do you reciprocate?"
diagonally, ''Meet me at usual time and |
place;" diagonally inverted, "How do the |
old folks regard me?" The left hand upoer j
corner is used to answer in the affirmative or j
favorably the signals in the right by placing j
the stamp in a corresponding position. Se-?
cret messages are written under the the stamp |
placed horizontally, aud with a 1-cent stamp |
additional to give greater space for writing
and indicate that there is a message. Held j
by a bright light it can be easiiy read.

The Academy of Music.
The Mugg's Landing Comedy Company
played at the Academy of Music last Monday I
evening to a good audience. The perform- !
ance was a decided disappointment. It was I
ver}' much like a Bowery show, which can be j
seen by paying for a glass of beer, and the !
netter p:irt cf our community arc becoming j
somewhat weary of pat ?:?g 75 cents to see the i
antics of the lowest catchpenny companies
vrhose members "count the ties in Spring " j
We hope that Mr. Schwerin, the present mar.- j
ager of our only theatre, will improve his j
taste, or borrow that of some other person. ?
He has exhibited two companies, at this wri- !
ting, and both of them have been dismal fail- j
ures-except from a financial standpoint ; and ;
the people will be rather warrin future of
accepting- as. true his representation of a!
troupe's worth".
Bills a:e up for -s presentation of "Skiped j
by the Light of the .Moon"' on *??ff .Monday j
night. This little drama, which relates the
woes of a m-'.n broke in Saratoga, is very j
poor r?t its Kest, but when produced iii a thea- :
ire like ours, where lhere is no chance for ;
spectacular display, it amounts to nothing, j
There was a time within the past lew years, i
when the stage here was occupied by the j
Madison Square Companies. When we had j
such plays as '"The Two Orphans," "Hazel ;
Kirk." ?c. But that time appears tc have j
passed and we must now listen to second I
class miostrrN or admire the salient charms j
of Concert Hall girls or do without the ?
theater altogether. There must be something
wrong.

SUMMERTON, Feb. 25.- "ur village was
shocked this morning by the blowing up of
the Ingram k Ragin steam mill. Mr. J. C.
Ingram was killed instantly. Mr. A P. Ra?
gin was badly scalded, but not fatally, [sham
Gaillard, colored, scalded Moses" Jone?, .
scalded badly. The mill is n complete wreck.
Mr. Ragin is painfully and perhaps serious- j
ly injured, lt is feared that he ?rill '..-<. one |
of bis eye-:, besides bis throat ts badly sra bled.
Mose Jones' ifjorirs are very painful, and
may b? fatal. Isham Gaillard was slightly
scalded, besides bei.Nfc* badly cut over one eye |
And on one hand.
Although painfully injured ard suffering r,
great deal, Mr. A. P. R?gin gave very intel?
ligent account of the affair up to the begin- j
ning of the catastrophe. His atteutioc had
been directed by the engineer to >t suspicious '
crack in the boiler, and upon Mr. Ingram's
arrival he carried him to the place and begau
to show him the danger attending the firing
of tlie engine in that condition. Mose Jones !
and Isham Gaillard, both colore !, were stand- ?
ing near them. All at once the steam began ?
to Open, and boiling water and steam bega:)
violently to escape, and they all acting upon
one impulse began to try to escape. Mr. i
?
Ragin and the negroes retreated, but Mr.
ingram dashed forward, which threw him
between the boiler and the engine. The
fragment of the boiler, to which was attached
the dome, split from the off' side and was
hurled violently on against e engine carry?
ing Mr. Ingram along with the whole.
Mr. J. C. Ingram had no insurance on his
life. Mr. A. P. ?la?in was insured in an ac?
cident insurance company, and will receive
ten dollars a week while he is disabled.
John Co tyers Ingram was one cf the most
prominent and popular men of Clarendon,
and his sad and terrible death is a severe loss
to the county. He was the eldest son of the
late Dr John I. Ingram, and was atout
forty-four years of age. He was buried in
this place yesterday, his funeral sermon being
preached in the Presbyterian church, after
which he was buried in the Manning Cem
e'erv with Knights of Pvthias honors.
[Messrs. C. K Stubbs". D. J. Auld, and R.
0. Purdy attended the funeral of Mr. Ingram
yesterday. Mr. Ingram was the brother-in
law of John S Wilson, Esq., who is Solicitor
of this Circuit, but could not leave on account
of press of nnsiness.- Kn.]
Mr. J. Rembert Harvin, who ?eft this State
five or six ?ears ?go for Texas, is getting
into trouble ont there. Some time ago while
drinking in Galveston he boasied that he had
killed a negro in South Carolina. The police
at once arrested him and telegraphed to
Charleston for particulars. He was set at
liberty upon the information that he had been
tried in Sumter for the offence and had been
acquitted. Hi another carousal, in another
place a few days -.go, he boasted that he hud
stolen an election box in Sumter county. He
was at once arrested for this offense, but there
ts no such charge against him. and the police
will of course let him go again. Harr:n is a
brilliant young man, full of promise, and his
friends regret to hoar that whiskey is doing
him so badlv.
Saith the Coroner.
Mr. Editor: As I have been asked some?
thing less than 1,000 times, by actual count,
about the Coroner being on the jury at the
present term of the Court, it appears that it
is a matter of public interest, and recognizing
the right of the public to make the inquiry,
and esteeming your columns a proper medium
for the information of any who are not suffi?
ciently informed, to have opinions of their
own on the subject pro or con, the subscriber
requests space in your paper for this commun?
ication.
The Statute exempts Coroners and a great
many others among whom are doctors of med?
icine, ministers of the gospel, students, teach?
ers, certain officers aad employees of rail?
roads and other incorporated institutions,
and certain millers, and a number of othets.
Can anybody be so obtuse as to arrive at the
opinion that thc exempting act disqualifies or
prohibits? His honor Judge Norton ruled
that it does not. Does anyone suppose that
if a person changes his occupation, he thereby
becomes a better or worse juror ?
That my name was in the jury-box before I
was a Coroner there can be no douM.
Whether the Jury Commissioners have au?
thority or are required, to suppress the name
of a person drawn under such circumstances
and for no other reason, I do not know, never
having inquired, but on general principles
would suppose not. And if so how -?re they
to know every time a man changes his oecn
pa;ion, and enters one of the exempt classes?
lie that as it may-I believe I was legally
and regularly summoned, and I decided for
reasons satisfactory to "nie to waire my privi?
lege and accept service.
Now-, if anybody is intelligent enough to
suggest that I do this for th* pay, will such
an one please go one step further and name
any oth-;r sufficient reason under the whole
heaven fur which honest men who have to
make a living would strive. A Judge sits on
the bench aod tries cases : a So'icitor labors
to convict-for the pay. If trwre was no pay
connected with it, they would not do it long
-they could not. If juries were not paid,
we may be sure many who are now in the
panel would not le there. And before such
as might be there, who would care to try a
case ?
Well, what '-if tie Sheriff should die?''
It is to be hoped tbs Coroner would not be
held responsible. This is a free country, and
if a maa makes up Iiis mind to die-weil, he
has the right to doit. Audit will be time
enough then for thc Coroner to decide what
hs will do ia such an eru'v-g'-'iCi'.. And what
:iif somebody should die ' - well- the - Cl?
oner interposes no objection, bu ii remem?
bered .
And what 'if ihe Coroner ?hni?M bc wanted j
wsrPeempiweiled? ' Wei!, it ha? been rnv :
observa ?ion in a iim?ed experience that 1
when sensible or insensible persons wanted j
anything they could not gel they alwavs i
waited till they could get it-or went without. !
?ss this i? a free country, and a man is never
required to have what he can't get, before he
can get it.
And if any Trial Justice in the County
feels himself aggrieved and would complain
of the hardship in holding an ???quest because
the Coroner was "caught on the jury," let
him speak now or hereafter forever h?dd his
peace, Saith T?lS CoROXKIt.

A Word in Reply.
Mr. Editor : Allow me space for just a word
in reply to your criticism upon my article on
life insurance.
Vu a say, "It is a mistake to assume, as our
correspondent has done, that the element of
risk or chance, which enters into all games as
weil as business transactions, is in itself evil."
Herf>you misunderstand me. Please read
again what I do say. "Insurance is wrong
on principle, because it i.f investing money in
what is purely a matter of chance.'' (Read
conclusion 1 ). Now, this sentence most
nearly resemblesyour words, above quoted, of
anything in my article. Yet, herc two things
are represented as combining to make in
sumuce wrong, (1) "investing money," (2) *
"chance"-"purelv a matter of chance."
1. In "throwing dice" tue result is "purely
a matter of chance.'" Now, if two persons
sit down and throw dice to see who caa
'\make a thousand" first, and call that "a
game," I see no harm in it beyond the loss of
time.* It is a game of pure chance.
2. Farming requires that money be invest?
ed : so di-:? tttcrchaudise, manufacturing,
medicine, law-but these arr; not "purely
matters of chance." lint suppose the per?
sons playing the game of dice stake a sum of
money on the result of the dice-throwing..
The:i, we have the conditions cf gambling.;
fulfilled. Just in proportion as the monev
eletncnt enters into games they are "wrong in
principle."
When "the element of risk or chance, which
enters iu'o ail g .-tm cs as well :is business
transaction?," preponderates in any business
j -where we must substitute "luck" for faith
; -the business is not legitimate. To this
j class belong "wild ext" speculations, dealing j
1 in "futures," ri.-k:-:L' sums of money, the loss
i of which would ruin us financially, upon
doubtful providences, with th-- hope of large
returns: You say, "were such the case, all
ambition, ail desire to excel sh mid be crush- j
ed." This would be the result, you say, ot 1
assuming w!:nr 3 our correspondent does.
Now. 1 bare tried to show T|M* your corres?
pondent does T . ? ? t assume what you supli?se
he does. Still, if he should succeed, even in
a small degree, i*i suppressing the '"ambition"
- the "desire to excel" i 1 the rapid accumn
tatton of wealth which is wrecking so marry
for timi- and eternity. I shall t,.- g| .,}.
.Wc think Mr. Richardson correct in his
conclusion but wrong in his pr? rnsi< :. ' ( W nat
1 snppose you meant to say WHS. that 1 wooli!
be correct in my conclusions if I were not

! E. W. D. Replies to "Qui Vive."
SALEM, B:,ACK RIVER, Feb 21, 1889.
Mr. Editor: The symptoms given bj Qui
Vive in yesterday's paper of the way horses
in his community are uffected. are very much
?ike a disease which several horses here had
hist year. The Commissioner of Agriculture
was communicated with ; and he sent Dr.
Ber:}. Mcinnes, of Charleston, who was then
the Veterinarian of tiie Department, up hero
to examine them. Dr. Mcinnes pronounced
tlie disease chronic catarrh ; not contagious,
nut hard to cure, lie gave a prescription
which he said would greatly alleviate the
disease. One of the horses ha3 been cured,
and the others ar? much helter under tiie
treatment prescribed. Dr. Mcinnes' report of
his visit was published in the September Bul?
letin of the Department.
I would suggest that some one in Qui Vive's
community having the worst cases, would
write to Col. A. ?. Butler, describing the
symptoms; Hud he will probably send ihe
Veterinarian of the Department, Prof. Niles
of the University, to examine the sick horses.
Tiie Department of Agriculture is for the
bencht of the farmers, and the officers in
charge will gladly assist the farmers in any
way they can, whenever called on. This one
thing ol' examining sick stock, and protecting
against contagious diseases is worth a great
deal; and if owners of sick stock would
always notify the Department rn time, often
valuable animals might be saved.
The distemper broke out among the mules
on the farm recently ; and I had several gal?
lons of tar burned which I smeared liberally
on the feed troughs, applied a little to the
animals nostrils and put a quantity in the
water trough, with decidedly beneficial re?
sults. * E. VY. D.

Arithmetic Made Easy.
Mr. J.S. Richardson, Jr., is selling a useful
book for pocket use. It is called Ropp's
Commercial Calculator, and is designed to
