An Historical House Burned. !
- A boat 5 o'clock on last Saturday afternoon j
the dwelling bouse of Attorney General
Ear'e was discovered to be on fire. The wind
was blowing a gale from the Northwest, and
there was little chance from the start of
laving the building. Fortunately it stood in
the center of extensive grounds and .no one
else was called upon to share Coi. Earl's
misfortune. But so great was the force of
the wind that sparks fell upon and injured
the roof of the Eclectic College, two blocks
distant. A considerable quantity of furni?
ture and other personal property were de?
stroyed with the burned building, and thc
loss is estimated at $6,000, on which there is
aa insarance of $?,000. So efficient is the
fire department, that, notwithstanding the
wind, and the suburban situation of the
building nothing prevented the saving of the
first floor, except lack of water.
This bouse was built during the war by
Chief Justice Moses for his son Franklin J.,
Jr. It was the Sumter home of the latter
while he was governor of the State.
Col. Earle proposes to occupy for the
present a bouse which he owns next north of
the one which was burned.
Rapid Transit.
The Bank of Sumter was notified early lan
week that it was the possessor, of a light ac,d j
feathery piece of p*ope'fty in. the ?haye of a i
burglar proof safe weight 13,000 pounds, and .
that the said article oY merchandise was at j
the depot. Io the absence of canals or
street railways, the glacing of that safe in
the baak building, bair a mile distant be
cama a pr'?bl?n, of some difficulty. Sebera!
propositions were canvassed among which the
ipost feasible provided for the purchase of a
large balloon, by which the safe wa3 to be
removed very ouch after the manner of Sin?
bad tied to the Roc's leg. While the matter
Was still under consideration the agent of the
safe company arrived, made two sections of j
wooden railway, improvised a flat ca,*^ placed
the safe on it, tied a pulley, baring a mule at j
the other end, to a telegraph pole, and started i
np street, twenty feet a* a time, relaying the !
track in front of his lightning express. It
took him two whole days to traverse the
halfmile aforesaid, but be finally got there!
with both pedal extremities in good order, j
Result, the largest and handsomest safe in j
South Carolina now furnishes the perspective
fer the picture of which Mr. A. White, Jr., '
Cashier, and Mr. W. F. Rhame, bookkeper, are j
%'?eleading and most prominent figures between |
and 3 o'clock each day, Sunday excepted, j
he safe is certainly a beauty. A time lock ;

last Sunday. He was fully insured.
The dwelling hocse aud outbuildings of
Mr. J. M Jennings, located near Tirzah
Church, in Providence township, were burn?
ed on last Sunday, the place was an old and
handsome one, and its destruction is much
deplored. Insurance $1,650.
Forest fires raged Saturday and Sunday in
Spring Hill and Swimming Pens townships.
During the high winds Saturday, the farmers
abandoned all attempts to save their fencing,
and exerted themselves to prevent their
houses from burning.
Advices from Santee are to tbe effect that
much property in the Fulton country was de?
stroyed by forest fires on Saturday. St.
Marks Episcopal Church served by Rev. J.
Kershaw, of this place, was barely saved, while
a oegro Church near by was burned.
Clarendon News.
From Manning Times.
W. P. DaRant, a well known negro of this
community, having been postmaster at this
place, school teacher, politician, etc., was ar?
rested in Sumter yesterday on a charge of
forgery. Some time back be was peddling
laces, ladies' good3, etc, io this county,
which he obtained from some Western house.
Before getting the goods he had to sign a
contract, and also get endorsement from
other parties. He forged the name of York
Mack, a responsible colored man of Jordan,
and a brother-in-law of DuRant's, as 3urety
to the contract. Had be paid for tbe good?
nothing would have crer been known of his
forgery, but he sold the goods, and forgot to
make remittances, thinking probably there
would be more profit if be kept all the money.
He is short ?95.63. Toe warrant was issued
last week, bot before he could be arrested, be
left for other parts. The sheriff got wind of
his being in Sumter, and at once telegraphed
the Sumter sheriff to arrest bim. Sheriff
Lesesne left yesterday for Sumter to "fotch
hm bark," and our ex-postmaster will likely
occwpy a room in Mr. Strange's hotel to?
morrow. DoRant is one of the candidates
for the postmastersbip at ?his place, and bas
written an abusive let'er to one of our cit?
izens, saying that his arrest is only an effort
to blacken bis character. May be so. We'll
see.
Yesterday morning about eleven o'clock
Mr. D. M. Bradhem carne very near losing j
his life. While his saw was running at a
rapid speed it burst, and the piece of saw
struck a beam 4x6 just over his head, cutting 1
the same io twain in an instant, and a small
piece of the saw struck Mr. Bradham in the
back of the heed, cutting through bis hat, j
and cutting a gash an inch loug exposing the
bone. Mr. John Strange happened to beat
the throttle of the engine, and shut off the
steam, thus stopping the saw and preventing
further danger. Tbe driving wheel to the
saw burst into at least a dozen pieces, ?nd
the damage to the machinery is about $100.
We were on the ground just after the ac?
cident, and look upon it as a miracle, that
there was no loss of life.
A fire ?ot out last Saturday from spat ks
from Hogan's tram engine, near Gree'eyville,
and did much damage by burning the
woods, several hundred cross ties, a large
quantity of corowood, ere. The fire spread
rapidly, and the dwelling, fodder house, and
other outbuildings of Mrs. Caroline Moot'
gomery were burned, very little of the house?
hold furniture being saved, lt was a two
story residence, and Mrs. Montgomery's loss
will probably reach two thousand-dollars.
Miss Nonie Har-'n, accompanied by two
other young ladies of the Sumter Institute,
was home on a visit last Saturday and
Sunday.

for the good and beautifying of our town than
any officer since I have been here 8 years.
May peace go with him until he returns to

Letter From Guv
APRIL 9th, 18 Hundred and Starve to Death.
What with the floods of rain and the floods
of fertilizers that have been pouring into the.
land, it would seem, thus far, as though it
may be a struggle to prevent this year from
being appropriately dated as above. The
Farmer Alliances can't help the rains but we
had surely thought their influence would be
to greatly reduce the amount of fertilizers
used if only as a matter of principle, instead
of which, from all we can karn there is an
iocreased rather fhan diminished demand for
the stuff.
Weli somebody will make money and we
suppose it will be all the same to the country
in the end. The guano company will grow
rich, and the factor and the merchants will
grin and grow fat, and the armer will grin
and grow lean, while bis lieu grows larger.
Several popular papers have been discussing,
through many issues the important question,
"What's tbe matter with the farmer?''
Quarts of writing fluid, printer's ink, 6tamps
and envelopes must have beer used in the dis?
cussion, while all the time the average farmer
knows what's the matter justas easy, lie
wants money! The "demnition cash." As
the Indian would say, "mush, bean, plenty,*'
long time, no interest, with the privilege.
Great Vanderbilt 1 jcust to think oS the mil?
lions at the frigid North, the phlegmatic
possessors of 7hieb am not happy. Theyjsel
dom laugh, they never sing or- whistle, they
"?now nought of tho pleasures of - er -
whittling a goo?s box. We doubt if they
ever indulga in tile felicity of pitting on a
goods box- They don't knock off even on a
Saiiyday, and know nothing of the joyful
"lay by" time, the season of pic nics and base
ball and fishing. And then to think of the
va3t deal of rural, rustic, umbrageous bliss in
this Sunny South land of ours, and all going
to waste for want a fair share of those
surplus caill?Cns. 4;It's baid ?f it's fair."
But" it'j Larder still to bc told by these wri
itfs that the reason the farmer has no money
is becarse be don't diversify hi" crop?, ana
economize his expenditures and husband bis
resources and value* his time. Don't they
know that the "contracts" won't diversify
worth a cent unless they are closely watched
and directed and taught, and do they expect
a mao to stick around his farm all the year
and never "lay by." and let this country and
politics go to the "demnition bow wows,"
when be can j?ist sign a mortgage and enjoy
tbe diversions of life instead of diversifying
crops? and it's so much easier as long as the
mortgage lasts, and they are generally made
tolerably substantial. We nevt-r heard of one
wearing out yet, indeed they are sometimes
so tough they wear the farra out. Would
they bare the farmer go back to the spinning
wheel and lye gum and soap pot and raising
meat and bread and keeping books? Don't
they know that the factors and merchants
attend to all that these days, and take a plea?
sure iu it, and wait on "em till fall, and ooly
charge some for profit and some more for per
cent., and a little more for commissions and
a small amount for premium and a few per?
quisites, and thus rel?ete the farmer of all
care and - cash.
However, there are a great many farmers
who expect to make better arrangements -
nextjyear. They did expect to do so this year,
but didn\ have the money. There is some
consolation in not having to tote around too
much money. It is said that a milloo silver
dollars will*weigh nearly 30 tons. We don't
know if this is so or not, never having han?
dled that amount often enough to judge ; but
think we see now why those millionairies are
not happy and don't whistle or sing. Now
we'd like just to-try a ton or two. We'll
bet all we've got now, we could manage to
whistle some and make the dollars whistle
some too. Well, well, it is said that happi?
ness consists mostly in anticipation. If so
we ought to be mighty happy for we inherited
lots of anticipation, but we've spent a good
deal of it and aiot got nigh so much now as
we once bad.
It has rained heretofore this Spring as
though Appol- we mean as though it might
have beea bired and paid for it by the day
and night. It is, however, dry enough now
and our lands are producing a large quantity
of fiue - dust. Guv.
P. S.-We hear there are a folk or two who
are quite curious to know what we are living
on. We are living mostly on nourishment,
the best we can get, taken internally. And
now, if they will answer as satisfactorily vhy
they are living on we'll call it square. G.
Bradford Springs.
BRADFORD SPRINGS. April 8, 1889.
Mr. Editor : We are having some wind up
this way, and forest fires are raging around
in every direction. It looks like March and
April swapped places, leastways, we are hav?
ing March wind. We have bad a few days of
very fine weather for farming, and most
farmers took good care to "make hay while
the SUD shone." Measles have gone into sum?
mer quarters, but there are a few sufferers
around from other diseases We see that
"Poor Farmer" wants to pick a quarrel with
us, and we will say tn reply to his witticism
that we imagine we see him now, down on
his knees, grabbling for the very identical
little potato he likened us to, and, from his
name, we imagine that be doesn't make any
but little potatoes. He had better advertise
doodle orchards for sale, than to be wasting
hil time, brains and money in a controversy
with Bradford Springs. TICER.
