It is well worth reading. N.ls.T* The "Wages of Sin" Company did not "turn up" on Monday night last to the vex? ations disappointment of many lovers of the drama. The trouble seems to have been with the advance agent ?-ho severed his connection with the company in Charleston last week, forcing it to cancel ali engagements in this State. The company goes straight to New Orleans, whe?'? it will play for a week. Grip. LaGrippe is putting in some fine work in Sumter. When a man is absent from bis ?suai place of business there is no need to enquire what the cause of absence might be hat pot it down te LaGrippe. Two clerks from the store of Ducker k Bultman are down with it and a third is sick but still at bis post waiting his turn to take to his bed. ?TorpesT Messrs. H. F. Wilson, J. S. Hugbson, D. J.

The German was led by Capt. L. S. Carson and Miss Marion Kershaw, who introduced a number of novel features. It is boped that the club will maintain its organisation and be ready for another season. The Electropoise. The wonderful machine for the cure of all ills that flesh is beir to, introduced into our city by Maj D. B. Anderson bas met with an extensive sale here, and those who have used it have been benefited. The laughter which greeted its introduction into the medical world is giving place to serions interest in its wonderful properties. Maj. Anderson has an office io Charleston at 222 King Street, where he can be addressed by those desiring infor? mation. An lil Wind, Etc. A Mr. Gayer representing a Michigan lum? ber firm has been in the city for the last few weeks. The object of bis visit is to buy heavy lumber from tbe mills of this County. He placed an order at one mill, Lukens k Reif snyder, of this city for 1,000,000 feet. Mr. Gayer says that the Northern lumber dealers will bate to depend almost entirely upon Southern mills for their supplies during the coming year. The winter at the North has been so mild and open that it has been im? possible to "sled" the timber to the mills from tbe forests Mechanicsville Items. One of onr Mechanicsville correspondents writes that farra work is farther advanced than usual at this time of the year. There have been several deaths recently in that section, mainly among the colored people. A mule belonging to .*!r. E. J.

Died near Providence, in this County, Mrs. Jane Reason over, in the7lst year of her life. In her death her children lost a kind and truly pious mother, and the world a meek Christian example. She was afflicted tor many years and bore her af&Ytion with fortitude, sup? ported by only such Christian faith and hope as hers. Death of Col. Ingram. Col. Tillman Ingram died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Or. B F Outzs, at Kosse, Tex., on Feb. Sd, inst., at the ape of 70 years. Col. Ingram was boro and raised in this county and many of oar citizens will re? member his pleasant visit to his old friends and relatives at this pIace?*>out two years ago.

The charter granted at the last session of the Legislature to the Carolina Southern Rail? road has been accepted by the corporators, who have called a meeting of the subscribers to stock for the 28th inst., at Colombia, for the purpose of perfecting an organization of the company. More than enough stock bas already been placed to enable the company to begin work at once. It is proposed by means of this road to get a uew line to Florida. It is said to be the inauguration of a big new system. The Columbia Correspondent of the News and Courier has the following to say concerning this new enterprise: '.The Carolina Southern will be built from Cheraw to Sumter or a point near it, a stretch of seventy miles. At its Southern terminus another road of the same system will probably meet it and extend the construction to the Georgia line, although the charter gives it the right to extend entirely across the State. Wheo asked if the new line had any relation-? with the Eutawville Railroad, Mr. Childs said that it had not. It has the right to build branches fifty miles long, so that some of the towns near its route may profit by it. Sum? ter will be a big beneficiary of the new sys? tem. That lively city will have railroads radiating in six different directions These are all the facts to be had now. Until the shadowy railroad magnates across the border choose to uncover their faces there will be opportunity for a great deal of speculation as to their identity. But the Carolina Southern seems a certainty." Bloodshed in Charleston. The News and Courier of the 18tb says: The shocking and attrocious crime which was committed in Charleston last night, a few minutes after 8 o'clock, had sufficient elements tn it to terrify the whole community as soon as the desperate deed became known. There ts, in fact, no parallel to the brutality of the deed known to the records of Charles? ton. Napoleon Leveile, a middle-aged man, a carpenter by trade, and an Ex-Federal soldier, bad married Miss Teskey, the sister of the junior partner in the firm of Mr. B. Feldmann & Co., in King Street. Mrs. Leveile was also the niece of the wife of Mr. Feldraann. For some reason, not necessary to this record, there bad been a separation between Mr. and Mrs. Leveile, the husband going to New York and the wife remaining in the family of Mrs. B. Feldmaun. Last eight Napoleon Leveile appeared at tb? bouse in which his wife had been given a hospitable home and committed a crime a double crime-with the sad and thrilling story of which the whole city is ringing to? day. In a few words, be came like Fate itself; called bis wife to the door and shot her down, leaving between her and death but a thin ved of hope. In the next instant the would-be slayer of the wife of his bosom is bailed by Mr. B. Feldmann, who comes out to ask the cause of the deed, and he, too, is shot down as if be were a violent assailant. The murderer was taken into custody by tbe police and is now io the County Jail. The only excuse he gives for his crime is the singular one-that be loved his wife and she did not love him. The Charleston papers of to-day announce the death of Mrs. Leveile, which occurred at 9.30 A. M., yesterday. Feldmann is reported as doing well. - mm ? ? ? - mm For the Barnwell Sufferers.

Middling 10?, Market firm. A Farmer Talks Convention Poli? tics and Hoorays for Tillman. MASMTILM, S. C., Feb. 15, 1880. Mr. Editor: As criticism seem9 to bethe order of the dav, will you kindly oblige an ignorant farmer, by giving space in your valuable paper, to criticise a little and mnke some general remarks on an article published n this weeks' issue of your paper. I see an editorial headed "Shell-or Till? man Stricken in the House of his Friends," in which you quote from the Cotton Plant, as being the recognized organ of the Farm? ers' Alliance, and that the Alliance has superseded the Farmers' Association, and that it simply eliminates, Ben Tillman, and that the wily old agitator is too shrewed to J'?? corne a sacrificial offering, and that Shell had no authority to make the call or issue bis manifesto. Now sir, what ls the meaning of all this* I ara a merot-er of the Farmers' Alliance, and am also a member of the Farmers' Association. I am a farmer, live in the country and associate with farmers, and aro socially in a position to know something of the sentiments that our people are actuated with. ?n the first place I deny that the Cotton Plant, published in Greenville is the recognised organ aud champion for every thing that affects the welfare or the woes of the farmers of the State. That paper is only recognized and patronized simply as a mouth? piece for general economy on the farm. It tells how to raise fine horses, big hogs and cows, and how to raise big crops of all the .cereais that grow in and out of the ground, and so far as I know this is about all the farmers of the country look for or expect from the Cotton Plant. Would it not, Mr. Editor, be almost safe to assume judging from the spirit and tone in which some of the expositions you make in regard to the actions and doicgs ot the farm? ers, I say, would it be safe to assume that yon take us, as a class, for nothing more nor less than a set of ignoramuses, void of any intellect ; that you would place us within the category of a mob of heathens not having common sense enough, admitting the right to hold conventions? Now Mr. Editor, such logic is very unkind and ungenerous in you, for you certaiuly know better, and yon know just as well as I do, that the farmers of this country are not going to consult the Cotton Plant or the Sumter Watchman and Southron, either, io regard to the course which they propose to pursue politically. In summing up and commenting upon what the Cotton Plant says io regard to the Shell's scheme for March nominations, &c. You say "the whole thing smacks of old time politics." Please explain this paragraph, for one would be apt to suppose that you mean Radical, negro conventions. You say again, on Sales day in March a mass meeting of farmers without credentials as delegates to any convention any where, will meet io Sumter and elect delegates to seud over to Columbia to nominate a ticket to be crammed down the throat of the Democracy of the State. I wonder if it can be true that these honest, patriotic, intelligent Jeffersonian. Democratic farmers are going to Dominate a ticket in Columbia that will be so vile and offensive that the editor of the Watchman and Southron will become nauseated before be attempts to swallow it? We hope not, for the sake of keeping the party together. Now, Mr. Editor, will you kind'y enlighten us as to who or what particular class of people does represent the true Democracy of this State, accord?.g to the view which you take of the matter. Those delegates who will attend the convention will certainly represent some form of politics, or as you would have it, represent nothing. Now, Mr. Editor, don't get to gagging and frowning too previovsly for that ticket may be sweetened up and "spiked" in such a manner that you and all other good Democrats will relish it so well that you can swallow it without any sugar tn it, and ?ts not going to split the party either, as you would have tbs people believe. Well now, in conclusion, Mr. Editor, let os calculate a little as to whom, and what kind of material, Mr. Shell's convention will be made up of. Instead of an ignorant mob, representing nothing and nobody, we will venture the assertion that that convention will be composed of the very best element that Sauth Carolina can boast of-men of sterling integrity, representing the true Democracy of the State in all the meaning that the word implies-men demanding their rights under the laws and constitution of the State, and men who are determined to have them, and who are not going to pander ?o the wishes of demagogues and plotters men who are the peers of anybody, and last but not least, men who compose the back? bone of true Democracy. And now, Mr. Eiitor, if you want to be on the winning side you could do nothing better for your people and your country than to fall into line and boom it for all it is worth, and let up on "one eyed Ben," for he is going to be your next governor, and look out that you don't dodge from a shell before the fight is over.
