Our community was shocked by the death of Mrs. Elliott McElveeu on Saturday at 1 o'clock from heart disease. She leaves three children under six years. Our sympathies go out to the husband in bis sad bereavement. Her remains wereinrerred at Salem Cemetery this morning at 10 o'clock, amid a large con? course of ber friends. Her mother, Mrs. Reeder, of Prosperity, Newberry Co., came on last night. E. W. D. Col. S. B, Pickens, General Passenger Agent of South Carolina Railway died at bis home in Charleston on the 17 th. He was well known to every Railroad man in the South. He was a gallant Confederate soldier and waa the youngest colonel in the army. Religious. Dr. Edmonds has resigned the superin? tendency of the Presbyterian Sunday School, and Maj. BT Frank Wilson bas been elected by the Ss&sion to take that position. The sermon bv Dr. Brown at the Baptist Church on Sunday night was a vory able and eloquent discourse. The attention of the large congregation was held riveted from be? ginning to end, and upon macy a deep im pession was made by his impressive words. y -m - . Our Advertisers. J. E. Mayes-In this issue yon will find the advertisement of Mayesville's leading horse dealer Our many " readers in the Salem section can not do better than to consult Mr. Mayes when in need of any thing in bis line. L. W. Folsom-The stock of jewelry, sil? verware, watches, etc., now in the store of L. W Folsom is the largest and of the finest grade ever brought to Sumter. A few years ago the class of goods Mr. Folsom now has on band would have found small sale in this place and no one attempted to handle them. But a noticeable characteristic of the growth of the place is the demand for tbe finer grades of goods in all lines and none more so than the jewelry trade. Mr. Folsom has a handsomely fitted np store sod bis stock is displayed to fullest advantage. In no line of business is there more opportunity for dishonest dealers to impose opon their customers, bat it can be said in praise of Folsom's Jewelry Store, that no member of that firm bas ever been known to misrepresent goods, or to defraud a customer. Such a reputation is to be prized above the most costly gems to be found in Folsom's Jewelry Store or ia any other. Kiogman t Co's new advertisement came in too late to appear in this issue, but next week yon may expect to see it. This firm handle a large stock of general merchandise and make their groceries and canned goods specialties. The firm bas been established h- re-for four years during which time by fair dealing and reasonable prices the public confi? dence has been won, and it is their desire to merit that confidence. wp .?<>- ea M Notice to Advertisers. Copy for changes in contract advertisements must be brough ? in - on Monday or changes will oot be wd.de?until the week following. Notice of desired change mnst be given- on Saturday, so that we can make provision for tbe position of the advertisement. We have adopted this mle asa meaos of expediting our work. At present we are greatly in? convenienced by having changes in contract advertisements brought io at the last min?te. Found Dead or? the Railroad Track. At daylight Sunday morning the body of William W. Partin was found by Mr J.H. Watson on the track of the W. C ? A. Railroad near the Factory, mangled almost beyond recognition. The coroner was noti? fied and a jury of inqnest impanelled. When seen the body was lying in the middle of the track covered with a quilt. Turning back the quilt a ghastly sight met the eye: from the upper jaw to the hips there was nothing buta shapeless mass of crushed flesh abd bone. Tbe bead had been severed from the trunk and was fonnd about 5 ve feet from the remain? der of the body. Tbe heart and other vitals had been tom from the body and were strewn along the track for fifteen feet or more. In fact, the lower li robs and the upper part of the bead were the only unmangled parts of the body. There was one curious feature that attract? ed our attention, the shoe? had been torn from his feet, and yet the feet were uninjured. At the place where the train first struck bim there was a crushed bottle, and the odor of whiskey still pervaded the air ; and George Ivey, who was the last white person to see him alive, testified that Partin was drunk when he last saw him, and Iben bad a pint Sask about half filled with whiskey. Dr. AtchieChina who made the examina? tion, testified that as far as he was able to form an opinion from the condition and posi? tion in which he fonnd tbe body, that the deceased was either lying or sitting ou the track with bis feet inside the rails, with the weight of evidence pointing towards the re? cumbent position. Be also stated wheo questioned, that it was possible for Parti? to have been mortally wounded before being run over by the train, and that all. evidence bad been destroyed by the wheels if such had been the case. Mr. Joo. Singleton stated that Saturday night three weeks before, he had found Par tin dead drunk on the track of the M. & A. Railroad, and dragged him off into the ditch to the side of the road, without arousing him from his drunken stupor. George I vey testified that be and Partin and several others bad- been up town and about 1 o'clock returned and stopped for a while at the crossing near tbe factory. After talkiig awhile they went on down the street, and Lynch and Thigpen who were with them went into their house After go? ing on op the street together a short dis? tance they separated, Ivey going on to his sister's boose and Partin back towards the railroad. After going a short distance, Ivey says he became sick and was compelled to lie down upon the ground under a tree near the warehouse. In about a half hour Parti? re? turned accompanied by a negro woman, and the two of them attempted to lift Ivey and said they would carry him to the bouse on tbe railroad. Ivey freed himself from their grasp and told them to leave him alone or it would not be good for them. The negro woman then ran off towards the railroad fol? lowed by Partin. Ivey went on and went to bed. Mr. J. H. Wa .son testified that be passed along there abou, I o'clock and saw nothing of Partin. There were several other wit? nesses examined, but the evidence was imma? terial. The engineer ?aid that he did not see the body at all. There is a good deal of evidence that was not brought before the jury of Inquest that has an important bearing on the case. About 1 or 2 o'clock there was a row during which a pistol was fired several times in a negro house of ill-repute immediately opposite the place where Partin was found. Tbe inmates of this house-four negro woman have dis? appeared. The parents of Partin any thal he bad on a pair of blue socks when be left home, and these socks have never been found. The question is where are those socks, and how could the shoes bav? been takeo from bis feet by the train and both shoes and feet left unhurt. The Acting Coroner should have examined these negro women before allowing a verdict to be rendered, even if it took a week or more to find them. If th?re was any foul play it should oe unearthed. If Partin was murdered his slayer should be brought to jus? tice. The verdict of the jury was that the de? ceased William W. Partin came to his death by being run over by the four o'clock passen? ger train on the A. C. L., while supposed to have been sleep. The funeral services wers performed by Rev. Wm. W. Mood, at the home of W. A. Parti? who ?3 the father of the unfortunate young man. J Ryttenburg & Sons will have q'iitc a \ number of lady ?c!crk3 this season. j The Ideal Man. Prof. Duffie chose for the subject of hi: lecture delivered before the Epworth Leagui on lust Thursday evening, the highly interest ing to; 'c-The Ideal Man. After recapitulating the various ideals o different uations at periods, present anc past, and the sundry ide?is conceived by different classes of men of our diversely pop? ulated country he warmed up on his subject, and drew an analysis of what really is th? true ideal man. In language chaste and ele? gant, Prof. Duffie spoke of the slow, bul perfect development of the ideal man, who is noble, and pure in thought, deed, and act, of the trials be would undergo, of the great victories gained in the past by such men who had been always true to conviction, and were not to be persuaded er frightened off from conviction by hope of reward or fear of punishment. Limited space prevents giving a fuller ac? count of this carefully prepared and interest? ing lecture, lt is worthy of publication in full tor upon the development of numbers of true men from the coming generation, depends the future of our country. Historical. In this issue will be found, copied from the Manning Times, a tribute to the late Chas. H. Jones, by Mr. D. J. Brad ham, in which is narrated the account of Mr. Jones' scout to Manning during Potter's raid, where be was surprised while at breakfast, and only escaped capture by killing a Federal soldier. This account differs in some minor details from that given in the History of Potter's Raid, which wt>s published in this paper several years ago. As the matter bas been brought to memory by the recent death of Mr. Jones, we will, in the next paper, re-pub? lish from onr 6les that portion of the history. It can be said, however, that either account is a striking tribute to the bravery and cool? ness of C. H. Jones, K. of P. A division of K. of P. uniform rank was organized bere last week, and the following officers elected. L. I. Parrot, Sir'Knight Captain. C. C. Manning, Sir Knight Lieutenant. 6. A. Lemroon, Sir Knight Herald. Altamont Moses, Treasurer. The K: of P. Lodge at this place has the beet record of any lodge in this State, having grown more rapidly than any other since its organization. Plots of Jail-Birds. Mr. L. W. Hair the jailer, was informed on last Thursday by Frank Nelson and Perry Williams that four or five of the prisoners had made a plot to overpower him when he carried up the pirsoners' supper, secure the keyt to the cells, liberate all the prisoners and effect a general jail delivery. Mr. Hair immediately placed the ringleaders, Joe Co wen 3, Jack Johnson and Robt. Moses, in shackles ; and now he does not allow more thao one prison er out of a cell at a time. It appears that we now have a desperate set of criminals in jail, and it is a conceded fact that the jail is not secure. * Progress. It gives us great satisfaction to announce that the suggestion in the last W. &, re? lative 1o arranging with Epperson & Co. for a team to draw the steam-engine to all fires has been put into operation. On last Friday the council had a meeting, and accepted a bid put in by Epperson k Co., and hereafter we may expect more efficient service. The next thing is a water supply. Legislators Meet. The members of the General Assembly for this county met hereon one day last week to discuss matters pertaining to tbe welfare of the county. The most important matter np for consideration was that of framing a bill to provide for the erection of a new jail and Court House. No final decision was reached, and October 17th was appointed for another meeting when the matter will be further con? sidered. They do not favor the sale of the Court House and sqoareJ "I think the intensive system of farming is the farmers' only remedy. I used this year 400 lbs per acre of A m m on ia ted Fertilizer from the Globe Phosphate Company; Colum? bia, S. C., and I regard it as equal to any I ever used so far as I can judge now." E. F. PASSES. Becca, S. C, Aug, 24, 1891. Look Out for a Horse Thief. Mr. Marion Dorn, who lives on the Bar? ber (old English) place, Black River, had a mule and a set of harness stolen from his stable on Tuesday night, loth inst. On Wednesday morning he and Mr. Baker, Mr. J. B. McBride, and o:her neighbors followed the trail to a place near Wells X Roads, where l?i?y found the mule hitched in the woods. The negro was away trying to steal a road cart at the time mule was found. The negro and a confederate who was not recognized both made their escape. The thief was from Goldsboro, N. C., but had been working in the neighborhood for a month or longer. He had been compelled to leave the neighborhood about a week previous on ac? count of another theft. It will be well for the people to look out for these rascals, as they will undoubtedly steal horses at any op? portunity. ? Hew Saw Mill. Dr. H J. McLaurin of this city, will in a short time erect a large lumber mill in the eastern portion of Darlington county, to which the Charleston Sumter & Northern R R. will build a spur seven miles long. We understand the mill will be located in a fine belt of timber and will no doubt be very suc cesslnl. Artistic Advertising. We have decided to make a departure from the old order of things, and to that end have made arrangements for a supply of artistic advertising cuts. These cuts are attractive and, it will be imposeible for a properly worded advertisemebt containing one of these illustrations to pass unseen or unread. The progressiveness of the times bas left far in the rear the old style of advertising which usually consisted in a simple an i nooncement of the arrival of new goods, and that the firm of A ll wool & Ayardwide would sell goods cheaper tb&n any other firm io the city. At the present time a merchant must make bis advertiseraent catchy and attractive, and at the same time give useful information con? cerning the goods he wisbess to sell. We can assist you to do this and will be glad to have you come in and look at proofs of the new advertising novelties we have on hand. --^^e>-? > i ? -? Good Words From a Leading Allianceman.

As to the intensive system of farming I am satisfied that the farmer would make twice as much money if he would manure more and culti? vate less land. R. F. MCCASLAN. Is it sensible?
