J. C. KEENER School Matters. The School Commissioner is now beginning to canvass the County in the interest of the extra two-mill levy for school purposes. At a meeting in Eastern Shiloh on Thurs? day the people seemed to be in favor of it after the terms of the Act had been explained. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 20th in? stant, the School Commissioner will hold a meeting at Wedgefield for the purpose of dis? cussing school affairs, and he will be assisted by several others.

The Association meets on the 16th, and it is boped that Sum? ter will be well represented. Charlotte Female Institute. Attention is directed to she advertisement of the Charlotte Female Institute, located at Charlotte, N. C. On looking over the cata? logue we see that it has a large patronage from this State, and among its Hst of gradu? ates and pupils are several from this section. It is a first class institution, and the catalogue embraces all the information that can be de? sired in regard to it. Address Rev. W. R. Atkinson, Charlotte, N. C. New Insurance Firm. Mr. F. N. Wilson, of Manning, and Mr. J. M. Spann, of Sumter, have formed a partner? ship for conducting a general insurance bus? iness in Sumter, Clarendon and Williams? burg, and, as will be seen by their advertise? ment, offer io take risks in the best compa? nies in the United States. Mr. Wilson has been in the insurance business for several years, and th*? new erm hts the ngpncy for Sumter, Clarendon and Williamsburg tor the companies he has been representing. Mr. Spann is the popular Express Agent here and will conduct the insurance business io con? nection with his other work. The Bed Land Alliance Picnic. The Picnic of the Red Land Alliance was held on last Thursday, the 4th, as appointed, io toe trove near Mrs. Dinon's, about a mile above Gaillard's X Roads, and was attended by a large number of persons, from other por? tions of the County as well as from the sur? rounding country, very many of whom were ladies. The Rose Hill Brass Band was in attend? ance and enlivened the occasion with very good music. Two speeches were delivered, one by Dr. E. J. Rembert, and the other by Col. John J. Dargan. Prof. J. Peronueau Gibbs, and Mr. W. E. Dick, Jr., respectively, introduced the speakers, and those of our readers who have had the pleasure of hearing these gen? tlemen, wiil understand that their introduc? tions were very happv, from the simple state? ment that both were in their best styl?. The addresses of both gentlemen were time? ly and instructive, being adapted to the audience and treating subj-cts upon which the agricultural population are just now specially interested-or ought to be As the Alliance appointed committees to wait upon these gen? tlemen and secare their addresses for publica? tion, we will not undertake to make any synopsis of them. The address of Dr. Rim? bert has been received by us an 1 we will endeavor to lay it before our readers in next issue, and will give that of Col. Dargan as soon thereafter as it reaches us and can be put out. The arrangements for feeding the multitude were ample and satisfactory, and the com? mittee did their duty as thoroughly as possi? ble under the circumstances. If anybody left the grounds without a satisfaction, it was not chargeable to lack of effort on thc part of the committee. Unfortunately, however, the rain, which had been threatening ail the morning, came on in earnest just as the second table had been filled, and continued for a distressingly long time-a half hour or more. During this time the committee undertook to inspire the hun? gry ones with pa:ienee by assuring them that there was an abundance yet to satisfy all as soon as ti? rain would admit of waiting upon them. When ?td.il stop they Droved to all that the "lied "Landers" were solid on the commissary department. Th" clouds continued threatening, and the compnoy soon dispersed. A mm>t>er of the voting folks went to the residence of Mr. J. K. G-iillard in the same neighborhood, where social enjoyment was kept up until a late hour. As will be seen by letters from correspond? ents in that vicinity, there were terrific rains later in the evening and tit night. The young men from Sumter who started home j after the party experienced great difficulty. One party, after considerable tribulation, finally got through the stream near Mrs. McLeod's place, and cam? home, but some others, had to turn back ; and after enjoying the hospitable shelter of Mrs. McLeod's home the reruninder of the night, succeeded in re? turning next morning by a longer route. Through the kindness of Sheriff Carson the Watchman and Southron waa represented in person, at the pic nie We saw some very pretty crops on the road, both of corn and cotton. Most of the cotton, however, being of two sizes in the same field. The finest field of corn we eaw was that of Capt. Williamson, near the pic nie grounds. - i The Portable Fan Company ?3 in town selling a new and improved fan suitable for a dining table or sick bnl.

Hoyt, Sumter, S. C., Agi. lur Cheraw Irou Work?. ? ? Horrible Affair. On last Friday fire negro men and a white woman were brought to this place from Bish? opville by special deputies S. H. Kilgore, S. R. Shaw, Harry Scarborough and J. B. Stokes, and committed to jail. The negroes were charged with outraging the woman and with beating her husband-and at that time il was thought he had been murdered. The woman was said to be in adepIorable|condition, and being without family or friends was kept in custody that she might be cared for, and also to secure her appearauce as a witness against her assailants. The negroes are reported to bave admitted all the charges against them. Their names are Ned Williams, John Williams, hil broth? er, Ed. Slater, Tom Charles and Preston Jef? ferson. The circumstances as stated are that the white man and woman were strangers in that neighborhood, and claimed to be from Marion County. They were hunting employment and were enticed by Ned Williams to stop at his bouse on Saturday night. He and the others made their plot and put it into execu? tion. The man was attacked and beaten while the woman was seized and carried off. The man disappeared ; but was seen on the Monday following at Magnolia without bat or coat. What became of him afterwards is not yet known. The woman was kept by the men at their houses from Sunday until Thurs? day following, when the white people found out about the outrage and took action which resulted in the arrest of the parties. The white man is named Daniels, and he and the woman claim to be husband and wife. Her name is said to be Nora or Anna Huggins. Sheriff Carson baa a letter from the sheriff of Marion County, stating that Daniels bas a wife and child in Marion County and never was married to Ann Huggins, and that he now has a warrant for their arrest. On the other baud, the woman asserts that she was regularly married to Daniels at a country church about nine miles from Marion Court House, and can prove it by the minister who performed the ceremony, and by her people who witnessed it, and says if Daniels had another wife she never knew it. Had it not been for the manner in which these people had conducted themselves, there is no doubt that the people of Bishopville would have dealt with the perpetrators of the Sendiso outrage in a very summary manner ; but there can be no doubt that the law will be executed to the utmost io such a case, aud that is always tbs best way. --^--.^** Sumter County Alliance.

A water spout passed over this section of country on Thursday night, July 4, entailing thousands of dollars loss to the planting in? terest. Whole acres of cotton were swept out of existence. lam told thai: at Heriot's X Roads the roaring of the approaching cloud coming from th?? Spring Kill section of coun? try could be heard a quarter of an hour before it reached that point. It swept ereaything in ita path, crops, fences and hridges. The road3 around here are in an impassible condition. PaOVIDSiJCE. From Heriot's X Roads. HBRIOT'8 X ROADS, July 9, 1889. After a long spell of rain it has finally eeased. We have bad no rain, since the night of the 4th. In the afternoon of that day one of the heaviest rains fell that has fallen since the flood. The waters did a great deal of damage in the way of washing np crops. I think the min that came after dark was a great deal heavier than tho rain in the after? noon When the second flood came that night one of our neighbors said to his wife, "this is one of the Johnstown floods." The crops through here are Rooking well where the water did not run over them. Corn crops are especially fine where they hare been worked out. We have some very fine peach? es this year, and will soon have melons in abundance. We have, two of Clarenhon's fair ones in our neighborhood on a visit to Miss Alja Heriot during her vacation. ?Miss Julia Burgess of Stateburg and Miss Helen Rembert of Rafting Creek are spending some time with their cousin, Mrs. R. C. Rem? bert, Bradford Springs. Mess. Sam and Jimmie Wells, of Privateer, were on a vteii to their friends of Ibis neigh? borhood last week, from Thursday till Sat? urday. Mrs. J. K. Heriot who has been quite ill for some time, is improving. One of Maj. E. F. Burrows' youngest sons j is at the point of death in Camden. Mr. and Mrs. B. have been with bim several days. OLD BACHELOR. ! Wedgefield Dots. WEDGEFIELD, S. C., July 8, 1889. Mr. Editor: Last week you chronicled the result of a game of base ball in which Wedge I field had to lower its colors-while and blue j -to the prowess of the boys of Privateer. But this week it is my great pleasure, to in? form you that you may announce to the base ball cranks and others of that ilk, that the diamond of the Wedgefield base ball club situated on Tiverton plantation, near the station was the scene of a most glorious vic? tory for the borne team over the combined base ball talent of thc Dutch Fork, nominally ?.he Eastover ball club, on the afternoon of the "glorious fourth." Both sides opened in an errorless manner, both being shut out in the first inning by clean fielding, although the batting was sharp ; and with the exception of a slight Attack of "rattles" in thc second inning Wedgefi**ld's batting and fielding was of the finest. But in that unfortunate inning ! a series of errors let in three runs, which, however, with the addition of two. were all the visitors: could get eff the puzzling curves ? of the embryo Keefe-Ingram-who received good support from our plucky catcher, Trouolefield. The battery for Eastover was Bates and Reese, and the score 16 to 5-on the whole a most satisfactory result and game. Recently the young folks of our town, seeing the . necessity for something of the kind, and recognizing the mutual benefit to be derived from social intercourse, have or? ganized the Wedgefield Social Club. Its ob? jects are to promote the society of the neigh? borhood and furnish suitable entertainment for the members during thc dull and lan- j guishing days of the bot summer, and the officers chosen give great promise of keeping lite ball rolling. Our officers are as follows : j President, Eli Cavenaugb ; Vice President, j Miss ('lelia Keels ; Secretary, Jno. J. Con- i yers, Jr.; Treasurer, Mis3 Mary Singleton. Already we have had several meeting!!, which, by the way, occur regularly every Tuesday j evening, and they have been found exceed- { iagly pleasant. Next Tuesday we meet M j the residence of Mr. James Caldwell, and a | pleasant evening is anticipated, as the at- 1 traction on the programme is a "Rainbow" party. Miss Virginia Cooyers, of Manning, is vis? iting her relatives, the family of Mr. J. ti. Aycock. The Misses Wilson of Sumter, are visiting the Misse* Keels. Miss Klise Singleton has returned from Columbia where she has been attending Miss Elmore's school, of which she is a graduate of '89. Crops are on the whole good, but 'he long continued rain has caused thc grass to ap- j pear in some places, Dot lu dangerous qtian- | titles, however. L. Lynchburg fchool Closing. LYXCHRDRG, S. C., Juce 29, 1889. Mr. Editor: There has been, and still is, so much "articulate wind," empty, fulsome, flattery given concerning the exhibitions of the different schools over the country, that one feels about it much like thc sensible school teacher does about the title of professor. Rut the abuse of a pood thing does not en? tirely destroy its nsefulness, and where praise is really due it should be given. Last "evening I had the pleasure of attend? ing the closing exercises of the McFadden school, Miss Annie McLeod, teacher. The following is a programme : The True Girl-Ada Minson. Yours truly-Coral Keels. Grammar Under Difficulties-Willie Jones and LeRoy Tallon. Aunt Bethiah's Journey-Charade. How to Make Lo ve-Miss Belle Caraway. The Little Dutchman-Bennie Jones. The Funny Little GH- Theodore McNeil. Aunt Rachel in the City-Misses Belle Caraway and Dickey Kirby. Sixty Years Ago-Miss Julia Hall. A Day's Absence from School-Charade. Psalm of a Wife-Ada Tallon. Expected Visitors-Charade. The Wonderful Speller-Ada Tallon and Bennie Jones. How the Quarrel Began-Estelle and Ada Hieles The Model Class-Miss M. F. Shields, Ex? aminer. The Train to Mauro-Charade. A Slight Mistake-Charade. Pious-Mamie Worshara, Ada Tallon, Wil? lie and Kizzie Jones. Personating Olders-Estelle and Ida Hick?. Repartee-Theodore McNeil and Kizzie Jones. Circumstances Alter Cases-Charade. Valedictory-Miss M. F.. Shields. The ease and gracefulness with which the children deported themselves gave evidence of the painstaking carefulness of the teacher and the remarkable brightness of the pupils. Some of the pieces were rendered with espe? cial merit. "Repartee" was spoken and acted with a naturalness that would hare done credit to any institution. There were interludes of music, furnished by Mr. B. F. Jones, and Mr. and Mrs. Junius McNeil. There was nota single jar or un? pleasantness to mar the enjoyment of the large crowd which had gathered to witness the exercises, save the dampness, and a slight shower which fell during the exercises. If the work done in the school room was as thorough as that of the exhibition, then Sum? ter County has one school worthy of patron? age. It does one good to see any community alive to the subject of education, and this school, which is uow a private one, evidences the fact that this community is progressive. Would that there could be some method in? vented, or tome destroyed, which would open the way for a good, thorough system of pre? paratory work. Very trnly, E. D. SMITH. -?rn . ? ? . mt Letter from Qui Vive. PISGAH, S. C., July 4, 1889. Mr. Editor : We are having rain, as much as we want for corn, and a little too much for cotton. Notwithstanding the cold, dry Spring, the crops look remarkably well in this section. I can show you corn that will make 40 bushels to the acre, and some that will make 20 bushels to the acre, not ma? nured, and not in bottom either. This is about as well as yonr Hagood correspondent can show on his high lands, where it would be unreasonable to expect anything in the fruit line could grow, from the excessive richness of the soil. Nature, has been very lavish with this section in giving us a soil capable of producing everything generally made in this country. I observe that corn on the small farms is generally laid by, by the 1st of June, and cotton on the 1st of July. Later, on the larger farms. I mean this for my section, not being acquainted with the modus operandi of the large farms of Hagood. Contrary to expectation we have an enormous peach crop. Let the ladies see that this bountiful crop is saved by being canned and dried. There is nothing more healthful and palatable than dried fruit, especially when it can be fixed up tn so many nice ways by the accomplished housekeepers of our country. \ ask that thc ladies see that thecrop is harvested, because it is pretty hard lo deny their request. I am glad to see you handle some of the evils of the di<v without groves. I wish you would handle the earning of concealed weap? ons. I hear of more pistols being carried now than ever, especially among the negroes. No meeting can bc with them except they are fully armed. Either the law should be better enforced or repealed. The road bill, as published, is very good. I framed a bili of one some time ago and thought I would submit it to our representa? tives before the next meeting of the Legisla? ture, but the present road law has uever been fairly tested as ever I have seeu. There is no news in this section. Not much sickness at this time. A great deal of sickness among stock this year. Some fatal cases. M ?ss Alice E.

A Troublesome Girl, the latest work of ?he Duchess is before us. It is tn the author's usual entertaining style. The most of her books are so like one another that if a person enjoys one, his interest is aroused for the others. A Troublesome Girl does not fall below the standard of its author's previous works and all admirers of "Molly Bawn" and "Phyllis," by reading the story of the adventures of this Troublesome Girl will surely not regret it. The girl in question is pretty, rich, moves in the best circles of so? ciety, is greatly admired especially by one good man and a noble rascal-as this is usual in the Duchess' novels-and is an orphan with only an old grandfather for a guardian, j This young lady being wilful is the occasion of much trouble, both for herself and others, but the end is : ehe gives the noble rascal the razzle-dazzle, marries the gentleman and settles down as other girls do when they get the chance.

SALEM, BLACK RIVER, June 2G, 1889 Before the war and until the negroes were freed in 1865 those colored people belonging to the wealthy congregation of the Salem (B R.) Presbyterian Church, commonly known as the Brick Church, were gathered every Sunday at the church and instructed in the Bible and the catechisms of the church. About 1870 the freedmen, being desirous of building a church of their own, the late H G. Witherspoon gave to them for church and schooi purposes the land upon which now stands the handsome Goodwill Church sad the spacious school house and the neat teachers' cottage connected therewith. Here the Northern Presbyterian board of home missions established the Goodwill Church and school. The church has been and is sup plied by a white pastor. The school has usually been conducted by four white female teachers from the North, one of whom was principal and medical missionary, but the past year by only three: Mrs M. E. Fister, principal ; Miss Boyden, in charge of the music and primary class; and Miss Ashley, in charge of the intermediate department, The trustees of the county public school fund aid in supporting one of the teachers for about four months in the year. Three hun? dred and twenty pupils were enrolled during the year just closed, and the daily average attendance was two hundred. Yesterday I attended the nineteenth annual commencement of this school. Twenty-three performances were on the programme, par? ticipated in by one hundred and sixty of the pupils from the advanced classes, which are preparatory to Biddle Institute and Scotia Seminary down to the infant class. For three hours the audience of between 500 and 600 w*ll-dressed aj>d well-behaved colorod people, the patrons of the school, lis? tened with earnest attention. The parting words of the principal deserve to he quoted: "Remember, children, whether yon learn anything else or not, that Jesus died to save the whole world and that He wants every soul in this house to be saved. You have been taught of Him, yon know of Him, and if you are not saved it will be your own fault. This life is but a preparation for the life beyond, and it depends on bow you treat this Saviour and spend this life whether you shall spend an eternity of woe or aa eternity of joy. God grant you may not bear the awful words : 'Depart from me,' bnt that you will accept Jesus now, and wheo this life is ended go to dwell with Him for? evermore." Then followed the closing hymn, "God be with us till we meet again." After the bene? diction the children filed out by classes as orderly a9 a corps of cadets. Tbe day was ended by having a big basket picnic in the grove around tbe cborch. I saw base ball and croquet setts,, so I suppese tbe afternoon was spent in these and similar games. The farmers around here gave their laborers a holiday, and it is needless to say it was enjoyed and appreciated. ? striking feature of the occasion was the earnest plea for temperance, good morals and religion that characterized the entire pro? ceedings. Every part bad a bearing on one or all of these virtues. The Mother Goose rbyme9 were paraphrased into appeals and declarations for prohibition. Wbo knows but tbe germ of a prohibition party is growing here that will yet save the land from ruin ! During the trying days of Reconstruction this community was noted for its law-abiding colored people, due, no doubt, to the pains? taking religious training of anti-bellum times, alluded to at the beginning of this article. And I have beeD reliably informed that but one negro has ever been sent from this com? munity to the penitentiary. I do not mean to say that they are perfect, but that thpreis less crime in this than perhaps any other com? munity in the State. Here there are about twenty colored to one white. It is gratifying to sec that tfce work begun before the '.var has been taken up and is being carried on by these self-sacrificing Christian women. I wish them success in their earnest efforts to elevate the negro intellectually, morally and religiously.
