Knox .Corbett of Arizona ts in the city on a visit to bis father, Mr. J. N. Corbett, and ^family. Mr. E. G. Johns, representing the Chipman Medicine Company, of New York, called on ns last Friday. Miss Elma Yeadon, of Darlington, was here Saturday and Sunday visiting ber father and family. Miss Pauline Spain of Darlington, who has . been visiting her sister at the Female Institute, bas returned home. Miss Emma Corbett, who is going to school tu Columbia, came home ou a visit Saturday, bnt has returned. Mrs. W. K. Crosswell, of Mannville, and Miss Diebl, of Chester, were with Mr. \V. C. Yenning's family last week. Mr. J. F. Steinmeyer, of Charleston, was in the city a few days last week and was hear? tily welcomed by his many ft tends of the olden time. We bad a short but, as usual, pleasant and instructive chat with Dr. E J. Rem bert last week. He is a mao from whom we can always learn something. Mr. A. A. Solomons, ruo ba3 been North for some time purchasing his ?pring stock, has )*etumed, nod bis appearance would indicate that hts trip bas been satisfactory. Mr. Sanford Brand of Augusta, private secretary of the President of the Georgia Cen- | trnl Railroad, was in the City last Sunday j visiting bis brother, Capt. R. A. Brand, and i family. Miss Hannah Fraser, daughter of Dr. W. j W. Fraser of Mechanicsville, was the only j pupil of the Winthrop Training School who j attained tbe maximum 100 in the recent exam- j ioatioos in Psychology at that institution. ! Mr. J. E. Shaw, of Bishopville, has been ? granted a patent on a planter. Latest novelty of the season the Hading ! Veils for ladies at Schwartz Bros. Teachers are requested to read the notice of j the School Commissioner, which appears in another column. j We have seen a piece of dental work made by Mr Alva Solomons, who is studying den- ; tal surgery in Baltimore. It is a tooth plate and is pronounced by experts to be perfect in j construction, though Mr. Solomons has but j a few week's experience. j Several new and unusually expensive ! buildings are to be erected in the city. Dr. ! China bas had work begun on his new dwel- j ling. General Moise has given out a contract j for the construction of a large brick store at \ tbe corner of Main and Canal streets. .Mr. i Heiser bis, we understand, giren out a cou- j tract fer his dwelling. A reference to our advertising col um i s will show that, for good cause, the Board of j Examiners have deprived J. McKenzie Har? rison, colored pedagogue, of his right to ! teach. Truly Cuffy is enlarging his repertoire I of crimes. He will soon disdain to interfere i with the slumbers of the succubat pullet and I long for a bank to rob. Many members of the Sumter Light Infan- i try are anxious to attend the Inter-Sute I drill at Jacksonville, Florida, which will be beldon the 10th, 11th and 12th of April.j Transportation from Charleston is free and, j if Captain Brand can make suitable terms ; with the railroads for the remainder of the trip, a large detachment of the S. L U I oys will spend three days in the laud of flowers. ! Messrs. J. Ryttenberg & Son3 make an- j other "Announcement" to-day. Those who know Messrs. Ryttenberg, and nearly every- j body in this County does, know that their "Announcements" mean something. Their mammoth establishment is now packed from floor to roof with new goods and others are being received daily. These geutlemen have unusual facilities for buying, in the Northern markets, and are not slow to share their good lock with their customers. The magnificent clothing store of Messrs. Brown & Chandler ts shaking off the sombre hues of winter aud putting on its spring auir. Immense quantities of checks, stripe* and light solid colors are raaktug their appear? ance, and almost as rapidly disappearing. Nothing more thoroughly attests the position which this bouse has won, than the amount of goods it handles Several times during the year these gentlemen fill up with a stock that eight years ago would have appalled the two largest bouses in the city. The interior^of the fashion Emporium of Messrs. Schw*'-. Bros , is indeed a bewilder? ing sight at this season. Piles of fluffy, feathery, gauzy spring and summer fabrics lie in every direction, while the arrangement and display of colors is a complimeut to the taste of those who selected the stock. Delicate shades and tints of ali colors are grouped into combinations which rival the kaleidosco? pic beauty of a bed of tulips troubled by a xephyr. Messrs. Schwartz have certainly outdone all their former efforts to please the ladies of the city. mi . ? ? ? m Newspapers in 1889. From tbe edition of Geo. P. Rowell & Co's ?'American Newspaper Directorj," published April first (its twenty-first year,) it appears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds issued io the United States and Canada now number 17,107, showing a ga i ti of 797 during tbe last twelre months, and of 7,832 in ten years. Worthy of Success. A meeting of gentlemen will be held this afternoon for the purpose of organizing a club. The business men, recognizing the necessity of providing innocent amusement for young men, intend to fit up rooms, if possible, where such amusement can be bad. Boles will be made, forbidding the use of in? toxicating liquors, gambling, profanity and like vices on the premises. The scheme is .worthy of success and we hope it will not jack encouragement. -- Mia - MM - Almost Disastrous. Tbe front middle cell of the county jail w*s discovered to be on fire about quarter past 12 o'clock last Sunday morning. By prompt and vigorous work, the building was saved and the damage is slight. The prisoners were temporarily removed to the city guard house. Tbe fire was incendiary and wa3 set by Robert Moses, a desperate regro, who was awaiting trial for horse stealing and other crimes. Moses escaped about 9 o'clock ou Sunday rooming, through the carelessness of a guard, and bas not yet been recaptured. This makes hts tbird escape since he became an object of interest to the officers of the law. -m^mmj^. , i MM - - The Academy of Music. The Jessica Thomas troupe played here last Thursday and Friday evening?, with a matinee on Saturday. The leading piece on Thorsday evening was entitled Asmodeous. and is constructed so as to forbid the possi? bility of good acting on the part of any one. Tbe part of the tutor presented by Mr. Robert Pbysioc, who is but a boy, was far too dif? ficult for him. On Friday evening he thor? oughly redeemed his reputation ;n the char? acter of Scalade in the Child of the Regiment. Miss Thomas is a soubrette of muon grace and vivacity, whose talent and experience bave given her an enviable position in ber profession. Miss Emily Vivian is a blonde Fotberiogay who needs nothing but a Mr. Bows and some application to make her a decided success. We do not pretend to say that sbe is or ever can be an actress. We have long been acquainted with the entertain? ing powers of Mr. Joe Physioc. He did not disappoint us on this occasion. Both he and Miss Thomas have the rare accomplishment of playing everything they undertake for all it is worth. The latter's vivandi?re is some? thing that will linger long in our memory as a delicious impersonation of a most inter? filing character, and Mr. Physioc's wonder ni tenor may be beard but never forgotten. Altogether our city is indebted to Jessica and ber company for several very -jabieentertainments, aud we hope they come again. ? Death. On last Thursday, 21st instant, Maj. J. W. Dargan died of consumption. He had been in poor heahh for many years, and knowing that the end was near, made due preparation, and ccJmly awaited the inevi? table. He was laid at rest on Friday in tbe Cemetery to which he devoted so much atten? tion during his life. The funeral consisted of a short service at the grave, Rev. C. C. Brown officiating. Religious. Please allow me to announce through your paper ?hat on account of the severe illness of ray wife's mother, Mrs. Huggins of Manning, there will be no service at St. James next Sunday morniug. We have been called to Manning. W. B. DUNCAN, Pastor. The Rev. John Kershaw will conduct service at St. Philip's, Bradford Springs on Sunday, 31st inst., at five o'clock p. ra. The weekly services at the Church of the Holy Comforter during the season of Lent are as follows : Monday at 5 P. M., Wednesday at 8 ?. M., Friday, ai 21.30 A. M. The sermon on Wednesday evening will be addressed partic? ular!}' to young men. '^-rnmm^- ^MIII - Strange Malady. There appears to be an epidemic of harness stealing among the darkies. A short time since Col. Peebles had his harness taken from the wagon lot back of ihe Academy of Music. Last Friday, Mr. Thonas Muldrow lost his harness, but, with the assistance of policeman Epperson, recovered it and had the further pleasure of lodging the thief in jail. When? ever the city is crowded with visitors from the country, the harness thieves ply their trade and generally escupe, because the police cannot tell whether a man ts taking the har? ness from his own horse or that of some one else. Clarendon News. From Manning Times. The Manning Guards will go to Jackson? ville, Fla., to attend the Inter-State drill, to be held April 10-12. The company will leave Manning April 9th. The railroads will transport all members of the company j free of all expenses. All desiring to go are j requested to hand their uames at once to Mr. I. I. Bagnal. Dudley Eugene nudge died at his residence i in the Fork section last Sunday morning, aged exactly sixty-two }ears. having beeu j born March 24, 1827. Mr. Hodge was a native of this county. At the age of eighteen j he married Miss Frances A. Harvin, who, with j five children, all grown, survive him. His i wife was a daughter of the late Samuel Har- j vin, who was one of the best citizens of the I countv. i Another of the cases carried from this j county to the Supreme Court bas been decided, j This was the case of Annie D. Ingram, plain- j tiff, against Lukens and Reifsnyder, defend- j ants, for value of timber. A judgment was obtained for $1.000 in favor of the plaintiff j The defendants appealed. The Supreme Court affirms the judgment of the lower court. ! E. W. Moise and J. S. Wilson for plaintiff; . J. F. Rbame and T. G Baker for the defend- ] ants. Headquarters in an Invalid's Chair. SEVERELY AT HOMK. March 18, '89. Several years since-or at least it seems so to us-the Watchman and Southron announced that we were badly hurt and would probably be lame for life, then afterwards it stated that we were rapidly recovering. Our friend, "Qui Vive," would also make it appear that we are out agaiu. Weil, we don't know whether we'll be lame tor life or no, but we do know that if we've been recovering rap? idly we don't want to go slow any more, (Mebbe. being a iong-leg ii requires a long time to recover, aud ours is raiher an aggra? vated case of length) and it we are out again it's-well, played out. We can't skin the cat exactly yet, uuless it was * very dead cat, but we are putting the last foot foremost. In fact, there ai nt but ojue foot we can put fore? most-the other foot is a very good foot, but de-il a bit will it wort: in the lead worth a cent. We aint turned over any new leaf yet this year ; fact, we a;nt b?en able to turn over at all ; we've, however, shed our hide from top to toe and reckon that s more than most others have done. They tell us it was only on the 15th Jan? uary, ult , that we concluded to quit the earth and go-to bed. aiuce that date we've taken uo interest in the Han ison policy, or evolution, or the farmer's movement, or even j in the weather, but* turned our atteuiion en ! tirely to auatomj- and surgery. We're a j specialist, and for the past two months have ; concentrated our whole mind und thoughts, i with entire devotion, upon t;ie dislocation cf ? t e left hip joint and the resetting of the ame i according to trie Bigelow metaoU. The Bige I low method consists in holding over your ! mouth and nose a funnel-shaped towel satu ; rated with a strong solution of-bliss, we : reckon, for \ ou rapidly commence to feel bliss I full, and then rapidly don't feel at all, but ? leave the doctors to do all the feeling. Your ! tongue becomes loosened up and is allowed a j "go-as-\ou-please;' ga:t, to preach, or to enss I or to spout Latin (leastways that's what they : s;?id we did) and wheu you are through and ? ali disposition to cuss, or preach, or spout ! suddenly vauishes and you feel only like I having another administration of biiss, you I are told that the dislocation is reduced and ; you will be all right in a few days. Now, we ; find that these "few days" of the doctors are I synonymous v.itu tbe few days of the debtor i ?tien he promises to settle that little accouut, I and our experience is that they contain a j couple of hundred more hours than any Iaw ? ful clock allows. Great Scott ! If "time is money" weare ; powerful rich this year, only ii seems to pass i mighty slow and we have uot realized any I thing on the investment so far and begiu lo j believe that that old aphorism is a fraud. . We've bad lots of Otium but it has been em i pha?ical?y sine dignitate. for we are no pbi ! losopber or stoic, nor can we get up sufiieient j asceticism to bring the mind or faith cure to j tear. Confound the pain, it hurts aud we j will grunt and groau and drat the dignity. : We can bear pain with all the furtitude iuiag i inable when its in-er-somebody else's joint, j Well, we've done a power of thinking. O, j what oodles of thinking one can do when I stretched on his back and not able to rise for j w?eks. One conclusion we've come to and I that is that we must have been born ou a j Friday. Guv. - ^?II--.?*- -II - Matters at Mechanicsville. MKCHAMCSVII.LB, S. C., March 25, 1839. ! Mr. Editor: I see no special reason for com ? plaint oa ?crotint of our recent heavy n?in I fall?. The ground is dr.ing rapidly and the j ?xrmer? are making good ?1! of thc [?resent fine weather, ai:hough there ure indications j of a change before this goes to type, if it ever : reaches that far in editorial judgment. ? Our daily mail has ceased and wi-nowgetour 1 mails three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday ; and Saturday. This is in some respects unfor . t?nate for some of us, but it is sufficient for I the majority. The mail contractor, Henry ; Cain, gives universal satisfaction. He is i prompt, faithful and obliging. ! The Rev W. Sale has completed an ar ; rangement with the congregation of Hephzi ' bah Church, for his services, the first and third Sabbath in every month. Prench?ng i hour ll A. M. He is very much liked by the j people. ] Cnpt. L. L Fraser, Sr., the natrkrch of the : neighborhood, who has been in such a critical ! condition tor many weeks, the result of an . accidenial fall in his bed-room while attempt? I ing to dress himself, has been improving for j several days and his family are cheerful (?vcr i the prospects He is eighty-five y*-ars old. ? The oat crop is looking finely, b??t unfor i tunately the area is small to what it ought t to be. ? The general health of this section is very ! good, and it is to he hoped it will continue. \ Everything is very quiet and all hands have ! gone to work, even ?he machine agents, but j they seem to be wo:king backwards, but in j good spirits "all the same." j The sound of the saw and hammer is j heard all over the land, and it is a good sign : to see that so many tenement frame hous-s ! are being built not only comfortable, but I substantial and neat. Notwithstanding many j apparently gloomy foreeastings, if we are '? true to ourselves, better times are ahead of ALL. j When Macbeth ironically asked, "Canst I thou minister to a mind diseased ?" belittle knew that mankind would one day be blessed with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In purifying the blood, this powerful alterative gives tone and ; strength to every function and faculty of the ? system. Try Wheat Granules, 20c package, at ' Ducker & Buhtsaa. Ionia Items. lom, S. C, March 22, 1889. Mr. Editor: The weather at pressent is fine, but we have had so much rain that farm? ers generally are very much behind. I have heard of some few that have planted corn, but the land is very wet and cold to plant. Measles are still in the neighborhood. Very few families that have not been visited by thc unwelcome guest, where they have not been visited before. Mr. J. A. Boykin has recently put up a saw aud grist mill. He is now prepared to saw and grind for the public ; so ww bid farewell to pole houses in this seciion, ns we have three saw mills in hearing of fach other. All I we need now in this part, is a railroad. If we had one, I think we would be up with anv .ownship in the couatry, but as things are, we are too far from market. We have an abundance of timber, that could be nut on the market, if we were near the railroad, or it was near us. If the 3 C's. would finish the road from Camden to Sumter, it would go through Spring Hill township, which would be of some benefit to us, but I fear it is as far South as it is coraiug. Our public highways are in bad fix, but I would not advise them worked at present. I think it a good idea to let them alone. If the rain ceases and the wind keeps up, they will soon be as hard as brick. Mr. J. N. Davis is quite sick. Please say to your Bradford Springs "Tiger," that I have seen as small potatoes as he is. make cracks in the ground before. Yours, POOR FARMER. - iq . ? ?? . mm Bishopv?le News. BISHWPVILLE, S. C., March 23, 1889. Mr. Editor: Our town is still improving The sound of the saw and the hammer con? tinues to ring on our streets, and the pa;nter'S brush is continually moving. Bishopville has certainly been Hffl'Cted with measles of a severe type. All the members of some fami? lies have bad them. Our worthy Postmaster Mr. H. G. Scarborough, who hrfs been quite ill, is now rapidly improving. Mr. Harry Scarborough, one of Bishopvil'e's most prom? ising young men, bas just returned from an extended tour in the West. The Guard house at this place has never been used yet The locks are rusty and the keys must be lost. It has never had inhabitants. Shad of the finest quality are abundant this week. They were shipped from Georgetown. There is also much fishing in I? vnch's Uiver near us. Mrs. P. G. Bowman, Jr., and family re? turned from Harrisonburg, Virginia, to this place a few days ago. JOE. Duggan Speaks Again. MAYESVILLE, S. C , March 25, 1889. ! Mr. Editor : We are having a deal of sick- ! ness. Measles are here in abundance, aud I some congestive chills. Mrs. Dr. Edward ! Rembert died on the 13th instant, f4om con- j gestion of the brain, aod on the 16:h her daughter died of meningitis. Mrs. J, E. Atkins is very low, also, Mrs. Beach. Keith- I er expected to live. The latter's little dangh- j ter is better of measles. We hope her eyes ; may recover. All the rest are better of the j measles. It rains every day. What is to be- | comeof the farmers?
