He was a bright, pleas? ant boy, happy io his youthful giee and inno? cence, when death claimed him ere his life had scarce begun. Such a sudden and un?X:?ected bereavement to the parents is inexpressibly afflictive, and their friends are tenderly moved in sympathy with them.- Willivmsburg Rec. ord, Jan. 2'2d. The DeattTof Mr. A. C. H. Kopfif. From the quiet place of book-keeper in A. A. Solomons' Urge and well-ordered estab? lishment, Mr. Kopff went away ou the night of January 6th, without giving any notice to hts employer. It was supposed that he was off indulging his appetite for drink and would soon be back again. On the night of January j 22d, occurred the fatal act described by the j j Atlanta Journal as follow-s : **A C. H. Kopff. of Sumter, S. C, committed | j suicide about 7 30 o'clock last night in Hollis' j I saloon. 16 Marietta Street. He entered the ? saloon.shortly after 7 o'clock and sat down j by the fire. In about fifteen minutes he arose j and walked through the back door of the saloon. Those in the pince heard a muffled report, and on rushing to the door found the roan lying just on the threshold, a shearn of t?tood flowing from a smail hole in his right temple By his side was a 32-caubre Smith & Wesson revolver with the cartridge dis { charged. When the police arrived the man I was dead Some papers found on his person j [ identified him. j ''Dr. A vary, the coroner, was summoned, | and after the body had been removed to !

The evidence showed that KopfF had been to the city since January 15th, and had pawned his silver watch for three dollars and i twenty-five cents. There w*s not a cent upon his person, and it was believed that he killed himself tn a fi: of despondency." The body WHS forwarded here by Mr. W.. M.

A Fiery Celebration of a Fire An mversary* At 4 o'clock on yesterday morning the alarm of fite broke the rest of our citizens and called them to repeat a fight made on the same spot against the same enemy fifteen years ago. The buildings occupied by The Bank of Sumter. R. P. Monagau and DuRaut ? Bclttzer, were entirely destroyed. The fire began in one of the rooms over Monaghan's store occupied by the C. S. & X. R R., for an office, and there was neither stove nor fireplace in which the trouble could have originated. Mr. Grogan who occupies the next room says that after going to bed, at 10 p. m , be heard a continual popping noise' in the office but thought it was caused by the wind which was blowing like March There are many surmises as to the origin, but noth? ing whatever is positively known. R. W. Du Rant & Son bad much of their hardware injured by removing it to the street, but their solid brick wall prevented thex from a great calamity. The entire loss is estimated as being between thirty and forty thousand dollars. The in? surance covers Si8,000. The three build j ings that perished belonged to Mr. R. P. j Monaghan These with the stock of goods j he carried bring bis losses up to about $27, 000, with only 14,000 protected by insurance. He will begin to rebuild at the earliest possible moment. The Bank safe ha3 been opened under the superintendence of Mr. Bird of Charleston, and the contents found intact. Most heartily do we thank, in behalf of the people of Sumter, the Florence firemen for their prompt answer to car appeal for help ; we afterwards found would not be needed. Mr. J. F. Laughery, of Lu kens & Keif i snyder's Planing Mill, and Mr. VV. Alston i Pringle, cashier of The Simonds National I Bank, risked their lives in Saving the effects ot the Bank of Sumter. We trust that Mr. L's hair and moustache will soon be as abun? dant as before they were burned, and that his bruised head and leg will not give him j much trouble.

DEAR Fm : 1 semi you a. few Ruta Bagas as sam?les of a crop of 300 bushels grown on a half acre of land. They were planted the first week in August (the land having 15 loads (2-horse) of stable manure thoroughly plowed in and re-plowed some time pre? viously) : chopped out to three or four in a hill, 10 inches apart, as 'oon as up to a stand. At second working, 26tn Sept., three pecks rye was sown. Began using turnips 15th 0>t., getting 180 bushels to date, and this evening put up 120 bushels. Five weeks ago began cutting rye for milch cows, using two 4 bushel baskets full every evening; and one can hardly see where the rye has been cut, as a plot ten feet square gives the day's cutting, and the rye will run up and head out long before the patch is gone over at the present rate. The growth of rye is so dense that, even on the dry est day this winier, one could not walk through it without getting his shoes wet : the dew never dries in it. I will give you the best formula for a butter ration that I ever tried : 2 qts. corn meal, 2 qts. cow pea meal, and 2 qts. soja b*ean meal, ground to? gether : 2 bushels green rye, and 50 lbs. pea vine hay per day for each cow. The land of Goshen couldn't heat the result. Yours truly, E. W. DABBS. We acknowledge with thanks, the receipt of the turnips, ?nd take pleasure in saving that they are as fine both iu size and flavor as any we have seen.-ED. - ?? ?.???-? -mam Letter from Qui Vive. PISGAH, S. C., Jan. 28, 1890. Mr. Editor: This is summer weather in? deed with the themorneier in the seventies. Plum tiees are in bloom, and the early peach trees show a disposition to burst their bude. I doubt if the old folks have seen just such a winter. A great many of my neighbors have lost their meat from ihe heat. This is heavy in these times, for it seems that it is about all we can do to ho'd our own, owing to the disastrous crem of late years. The oat crop looks fine, and farm work is progressing at a rapid rate. Some of my neighbors are ready to plant and are now resting on their oars 'till February to plant corn, and March to plant cotton. 'Most every one has made arrangements for supplies, ia some shape or form. Whether satisfactory or not, nobody but themselves can tell. I bear of a good deal of complaint about the scarcity of hands with some of our planters, while others are overstocked. Our colored friends show a disposition to herd up as well as to go Westward. Well it is said that misery loves company, but in their case the sacing won't hold water, for they stem to be al ways happy. There has bpen for weeks a perfect upheaval in moving norn place to place No doubt they want to show that the 13th. 14th, and 15th, Amendments to the Con? stitution of cur Big Republic, have a mean? ing for them at least. Fertilizers are being hauled rapidly. The Cleveland Grange hauled theirs before Christmas. They wish to show that they are posses.-ed with that energy so character? istic of their illustrious namesake, ex-Pres ideot Cleveland. Well, there is a heap in a name, any way. The grip is here, and has been for weeks. Your correspondent has got it, and he feels that he has been grijped until there is noth? ing much to grip. No fatal cases as yet as far as 1 have learned ; but a great deal of serious Sickness is prevalent from it ; also, a species of mad or scratching i:ch is about. We hope if it strikes us it will come slow and sane. Miss Blanch Allen went to a sociable re? cently, and when she got in ihe buggy to re? turn home, the horse, catching the inspira? tion of the occasion, *s well as of the Christ? mas festivals, thought he would show Miss Blanch a Specimen of his light fantastic toe at au onward movement of a mile in two minutes. Continuing at this rate he soon collided with a tree, which proved too Stub horn to overcome, and pony fell. Gathering himself up with the energy born of despair, and the bravery of a Roman warrior, he made for another tree in his onward course. About this time he ungallantly made Miss Blanch take a short journey towards the Queen of Night, much against her will ; but ?he soon returned to terra firma w ithout serious injury, much to the gratification of her many friends. Pony continued in his course until he struck another tree, wi.?eh showed fight, and with the help of pony (he fine buggy was torn into smithereens. A person said that the hot winter was the foreiunnerof the end of lr world, when we would only know winter from summer hy? the bursting of the flowers.

I Cause of Disease as Given by the Scientific Men of the age. j Monsieur Pasteur, who for years has made j them a special study, first discovered that i these minute insects were the cause nf spread j ing the most deadly contagions through their J astonishing rapidity of reproduction. Pas I teur discove.ed them in myriads in human blood, in sheep, rabbits and rats. He found : that the Microbe was the direct cause of the j Variolosis, or small pox, Bronchitis, Yellow : Fever and other contagious diseases. ! The Microbe, in the human system attacked by Variolosis, is thread-like, cylindrical, somewhat swelled. It is the smallest of all powerfully magnified animal organisms. It breeds Sy the thousand per minute. Pasteur, after making a close study of the Microbe, discovered that the quickest way to extermi? nate them was by the free inhalation of Oxygen gas, or by liquids charged with that gas, but admits that tue time must come when some powerful liquid will be discovered that will effectually destroy tiie Microbe, and that the liquid must contain such gaseous combi? nations as will directly destiny in the human body, those germs or Microbes of disease. Doctor Maclagan, a prominent member of the Royal College of Physicians and Sur? geons, says : The idea that many of the diseases to which man and the lower animals are sub? ject, result from the presence in the system of minute organisms or microbes is not a new one. The introduction of the microscope, the discovery of the Yeast plant, and the fur? ther parasitic nature of many cutaneous dis? eases have proved conclusively that it is directly attributable to the Germ or Microbe Theory of Disease. The theory ha.? positively proved that many diseases are due to the presence and propa? gation in the system ef minute living organ? izations. It is essential, therefore, to become thoroughly acquainted with the class, kind, very competence of the Germs that produce what is now termed the Phenomena of Disease. Contagion, Infection, is created by absolute experience and scientific experiments and proofs, by the existence of minute organism or microbes. The Contagion, or mictobe being particulate, and the minute particles being irregularly scattered about in the atmosphere, it is evident that the inhalation of one ur more of those particles is purely a matter of chance. Yet, such inhalation, no matter how bea!'hy and strong the man or animal thus inhaling it, it will, as a matter of course, bestricken down sooner or later, by the myriads of microbes that will, accord? ing to the contagious poisonous matter in? haled, breed into his system. To exterminate those it has been found that liquids strongly impregnated wtth gases aud alkali have been the most efficacious, and it is t?ut s matter of time when a liquid strong^' impregnated with those substances will be discovered that will effectually destroy the microbes or Germs of Disease. It is an organic form of such extreme minute? ness as lo be classified under the head of Micro cocci. The Microbe is spheroidal, trans parent and of a gelatinous consistence. It enters the human system hy inhalation, or exists in the water or milk we drink, or the food we eat. It is able to stand the greatest amount of heal. By the most careful study ?nd frequent experiments microbes have been induced, hy ivory needles, into meats that have been thoroughly roasted and boiled, and yet, when taken from the ovens, pans, grid? irons or pots, the microbes have been found to be yet alive and propagating, thus show? ing that even cooking has no effect upon them. Professor Tyndall says of the Microbe : They are found tn myriads and countless shapes, floating in the air destroying man, as well as beast and vegetation. The virtual triumphs of the antiseptic system of surgery is bused on the recognition of living contagia or microbes, as the agent of purification, and this discovery made, it behooves the closest study of the subject by the physician, surgeon, chemist, agriculturalist, in fact, by | all men, to eudeavor to discover some power? ful liquid substance, heavily charged with some so far undiscovered gaseous substance j that will penetrate through every tissue of i ihe human, animal or vegetable sysiem and effectually destroy that death-dealing pest, the Microbe. The word Microbe was first introduced by Professor Charles Sediliot and indorsed by ihe great philologist, Littre, who caused its adaptation by the Academic de Seances of France, and thus had it admitted as a seien- j tifie term to be used by all scientists. Science has taught us that the direct causes of contagious diseases are directly attribut? able to a minute, invisible, yet death dealing insect, feeding, living on the- germs of cor? ruption inhaled, absorbed in the system, whether human, animal or vegetable. 11 is designated ioscier.ee as the Microbe the mos' deadly of all animalcule, propagat- j ing by millions, and spreading disease wherever it makes its appearance. The ex? terminator of that curse to the human race ?las taxed the ablest scientists, Who have devoted hours of study in each and every branch of their different researches to check the frightful inroads made by the Microbe upon whatever it attacks. William Radam, a florist and botanist of Austin, Tex., who from his earliest boyhood, had heen brought up to take care of and watch tenderly over the plants, seedlings and slips, that were extensively grown in his father's world famed nurseries, having fre? quently seen many of his favorite plants sud? denly droop and die, was the first to make the Microbe his special study, and its exter? mination the object of his life. Fortunately for Wm. Radam he was able to command the means that enabled him to purchase the instruments, needed to perfect his experiments, as he patiently advanced in his studies of the Microbe. He was not the man to rely mearly on book learning, although he closely studied the theories ad? vanced hy scientists. William Radam, after years of patient Study and analysis, found the true origin of the Germs of Disease, and by a secret in? spired by Nature's close study, was able to produce what will be read below, as that ex? termination of the dreadful scourge, Microtie - as recommended by the greatest authorities, and world-famed authorises, on the sui jed, who ail admit, that to exterminate that pest and scourge requires jusl such a liquid, fur charged with gases, as William Radam's Microbe Killer. NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS. The reason RADA M'S M IC RU BE KILLER ts the most wonderful med? icine, is because it has never failed in any in? stance, no matter what the disease, from LEPRO? SY to tile simplest iisease known to the human system. The scientific men of to-day claim and prove that every disease is CAUSED BY MICROBES, AND RADAM'S MICROBE KILLER Exterminates the Microbes and drives them out of the system, ami when that iii done you cannot have au ache or pain.
