S. relating to their party : After a pleasant week at Cleveland Springs and a second of the same sort at Sparkling Catawba Springs, our party is now about to depart for Blowing Rock. We are the veri? table "Innocents AbroaJ," and we leave a sweet aroma wherever we go, so glad is the proprietor of the hotel to see us leave.

Phelps & Co., have been appointed General Agents for South Carolina of* the American Casualty, Insurance ?nd Security Company of Baltimore, Md The company has a cash capital of $1,000,000, and an idea of the magnitude of the business transacted by this company may be formed from the following paragraph from The Spectator : "It is reported that one day last week the firm of Beecher, Schenck & Benedict, general agents of tbe American Casualty Insurance and Security Company, took tn a single cash premium the sum of $110,000 on an employers liability risk. The popping of champagne corks in their office was distinctly heard by outsiders." We congratulate this firm upon being the first to secure a general agency to be located here. Removal.

Yesterday morning while Mr. John DesCham ps was having the front yard of his aunt's residence on Calhoun Street plowed np, one of the men plowed into a nest of yellow jackets. The mao escaped quickly to cover but was obliged to return in response to the kicks and squeals of the mule and re? lieve bim from the fearful torture be was un* dergoing from the infuriated insects. The spot where the nest was, can still be plaiuly seen, like a good size oasis io the desert. A^Hard Fall. A rmsfead Robertson, a colored painter, while engaged in painting the north wall of the brick store of Schwartz Bros. on the cor? ner of Main and Republican Streets, lost his balance and fell to the ground a distance of about thirty-Eve feet. Be was on the second scaffold from the ground, and his head struck the gangway in the fall, but beyond a few slight bruises, he does not seem to be injured in the least. Base Ball. A club of boys from Darlington came over to play our boys on last Thursday, but after critically examining the Sumter nine, decided that they were not large enough to cope with them, so returned to Darlington without a game. We are informed that there is a movement on foot to organize a base ball club among the young men of this city for the purpose of giving us an exhibition of good ball playing again. We hope the project will materialize, for we have no doubt but that a series of games could be arranged with the clubs of the surrounding towns. - ??????? mt Educational. The catalogue of Davidson College bas been received, and we would call attention to the advertisement of this old and excellent college, which appears in this issue. The course of study pursued at Davidson College bas always been noted for breadth and thoroughness, and the surroundings for their Christian and moral influences lu 1887 the Patrick Military Institute was removed from Greenville to Anderson, since which time the institute bas enjoyed unpre? cedented prosperity. The reason for this is to be found in the executive ability and scholarly attainments of the principal, Col. John B. Patrick, and the thoroughness of the course of study. The Institute now bas an officer of tbe U. S. Army detailed as instructor in military science and tactics, which is in itself a recommendation. We direct attention to the advertisement in to-day's paper. Death at 112 "Old Joe" (Joseph Friereon) for many years a servant of Mrs. Leah McFaddin, died on July 22d aged about 110 or 112 years. He was bought by Mrs. McFaddin in 1826 as about45 years old, but some family tradi? tions made him a year or two older. He came from tho neighborhood of Georgetow n and claimed the name of Frierson from bis first owner. He said that he knew when cotton was first cultivated in this country and when indigo was the market crop. lu his early days be was a boat hand on Black River. Mr. Wm. J. DuRaot, on whose place Joe lived up to the time of bis death, (and in the same house he bad occupied for 40 years) says ti at "Old Joe" was remarkable in many respects. He was, as far as be knew, strictly honest, he would never take a present without making a return for it, and lived a consistent Christian life according to bis un? derstanding. He was a member of the Pres? byterian Church. In politics he was a 8traightout Democrat. -M ?ti mm . The Fiee Pass Question. Ur. Editor: Senator Abbott, aod Repre? sentatives DuPre .and Crosswell, are all out in print denying that they have "free passes" on the railroads. The last named gentleman goes so far as to moralize on the evils of ac? cepting such courtesies. Now Mr. Editor I desire to lay a wager that the hateful "courtesies" have never been offered the gentlemen who do not enjoy them. Five dollars to a nickel that Messrs Abbott, DiiPree and Crosswell have never bad the opportunity afforded them of declining the "courtesies." They cannot refuse to accept a thing until it is offered. I will bet an additional five dollar note (if bank notes are acceptable to gentlemen of the Alliance) that no member of the Legislature from Sumter has declined a free pass when offered. Senator Abbott, bas a free pass been offered to you since the last electron ? Representatires DuPre and Crosswell have free passes beeu offered yoi; since the last elec? tion ? The gentlemen will please answer ? "** STRAIGHT-OUT. M - What is the Meaning of it? The following letter has been written by Mr. J. M. Spears, Intendent of Bishonv?lle, corroborating the statements of Sheriff Car? son's reply to the ex ti nord i H H ry letter of the committee, in last week's Watchman enquir? ing the meaniog of the Sheriff's presence at their alliance pic-nic. The Sheriff says be is and the public are, at a loss to know what the people intend by invitir-g a guest to a pic? nic and then enquiring the meaning of his presence. Here is what Intendent Spears says : Ma EDITOR :-I noticed in last week's issue of the EAGLE, an "open letter to Sheriff Car? son," asking, why he was at our Pic-nic, at James' mill on the 15th, inst. In justice to Sheriff Carson, I wish to say through the columns of your paper, that I invited him there, and was glad he came. If there was anything wrong about it, please don't blame Sheriff Carson ; but just put it on your hum? ble servant. J. M. SPEARS. Bisbopville July 29th, '9;. Now what have the committee to say : We think an explanation is in order from them and is most certain y due to Sheriff Carson. ---i Programme of the Black River Union.
