Brown, of tbe passenger train jumped from

table "Innocents AbroaJ," and we leave a
sweet aroma wherever we go, so glad is the

of the party brought along a pocket whet?
stone to sharpen his appetite, but has never

General Insurance Agency.
A. C. 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.

Stung by Yellow Jackets.
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.

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.

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 ?

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.
