The entire plant of the Sumter .Warehouse a?d Compress Company was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, together with' 341 bales of cotton, belonging to the Carolina Cotton ?Company, then on the compress platform. The fire was discovered about I o'clock a. m Vat before anything could be done the fire bad gained such headway that to check it was impassible. The,-eoa?pres8 property' was valued at ^0.000, and waa ^insured for $20,000, with tneTollowing named agencies : A. C. Phelps ? CO. $10,000; J. M. Spann, $7,000; A Wbita 4 Son, $2,000 ; A.

The keen^dgei . ~zor, sp long the favorite weapon of the colored citizen, has a homely rival that is fast supplanting if. The colored women about town all go armed with large carving forks, which they ate very nimMe in using as instruments of offense and defense. It is said that when two of these women meet in battle royal tbe fur flies freely, and when it is over each looks as if a wild-cat on a rampage had been encountered. The fork, heretofore, has not been regarde d as a deadly weapon, and the law in iking it a misdemeanor to carry concealed weapons says nothing of the fork, therefore the women cannot be called io account for going armed with this homely household utensil: Au amendment may be io order, and to some one of our worthy Representatives is offered a desired opportunity of achieving distinction. Tbe Bishopviiie Post Office. The following letter shows that Senator Butler is still working to have the Bishopviiie post offi-e re-established, and that the Post Office Department seems determined to vent partisan spleen upon the Bishopviiie people because they did not meekly submit to the appointment of an ignorant and incompetent negro" as postmaster, who openly violated the law and was habitually impertinent and disobliging to the patrons of the office. It is to be hoped that Senator Butler will be successful in his efforts in behalf of Bishop? ville. OFFICE OF THE POSTMASTSR GENERAL, > WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2, 1891. j Eon M. C. Buller, U. S Senate. Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your letter of 31st ultimo, in which you ask about the establishment of the post office at Bishonville, S. C., and I note your request that you be informed in relation to tbe trouble there. Io reply permit me to say that Bishopviiie was discontinued a little more than one year ago upon tb? recommendation of an inypector, from this Department, who reported that be found the office at the time he visited it in the hands of a party who was unauthorized to transact the business of the office. A man by the name of Miller had been appointed before that* time, but the inspector said that he was arrested upon the charge that ha was carrying concealed wea? pons and after be had taken possession of the office be was informed that if he would sign his resignation and make a n commendation of a Mr. Scarborough, who had previously been postmaster, that the charge against him for carrying concealed weapons would be withdrawn. Miller claimed that he signed both of these papers under protest. The Inspector stated that be was [virtually driven from the office a:?fl that Scarborough undertook to manage its affairs without authority of any nature whatsoever. I discontinued the office and it bas been in that condition up to the present time. Several parties, among them Scarborough, have been arrested ai the instigation of the Post Office Inspector and charged with writing threatening letters and in other ways intimidating the postmaster. A few days ago, after the receipt of your former letter, in which you refer to this, I wrote to the United States District Attorney asking him for a copy of the testimony as taken in the case against these parties-tried before the United States Commission. This was received last Saturday and I have not yet bad time to con? sider it in correction with re establishing the office. Yours truly, J NO WANNAMAKER, Postmaster General.

Dots Prom Elliotts. ELLIOTT'S, S. C., NOT, 2, 1891. Mr Editor: Nearly every week I notice letters from different parts of the county, but none front this. It has been for a long tinte considerable wonder, why such a pros? perous section as ours should remain unknown to the country at large. So, being unwilliug that our community remain isolated, so far as a knowledge of the country generally, your correspondents has resolved to write j ou of what progress in the battle of life, we are making. Commencing with our little village, with four geueral merchandising houses, two res? taurants, two residecces and a large two-story store in course of construction : We are con vieutly located at the crossing of the Bishop? viiie and C. S &N.R. R's. With adaily mail and semi daily express, with our railroad and telegraph facilities, and two regular cotton buyers, we realise Sumter's market price for cotton. Mr, J. E. Law runs a large ginnery which adds to the progressive appearance of the village. Taking in a small territory around by Wisacky, our rival sister town, we pass the repair and building shops of Messrs. New? man and Mims, where as good work is done, ashcan be had in the county, cn anything from the making of a machine needle or a pf; g s yoke, to the building of a buggy or a wagon. A mile or two further we come to oae of pur enterprising young farmers, Mr. W. Arthur Green, who, in connection with the cultivation of corn and cotton has estab? lished a stock farm on Lynches River. His dairy is not in successful operation yet, as a large number of bis present stock are oxen. He expects to realize in a short while, hand? some returns therefrom-not from bis dairy, however. Further up the same road, we pass through some excellent lands, and fine cotton fields. Returning by another road, we pass some fine plantations and th.';.'ty farmers. Believing enough has been said to show that our community is a progressive one in a general way, I will go slightly into the more private domestic affairs, to show that we pro? gress on a solid basis Not presuming to know of the private affairs of my neighbors, your correspondent will confine his remarks to his o wo domestics, which, briefly are as fellows : Our old cow is still giving a right good supply of milk-enough for each of us to get a tumbler full for two meals and leave enough for the breakfast biscuit-notwith? standing the calf is a good big yearling. Tbe young sow bas half dozen pigs two weeks old, and the old spotted sow has seven right new ones, making thirteen for another year. No, only twelve, 1 gave one to a neighbor who wants my breed-a croas be? tween the guinea squash and razor-back, a good cross for every day us-. The big spotted barrow and the chicken-eating shoal have been playing fog with Simons' corn, but I have the lot fix -d op now, with plank and a new gate where the old bars were, and they are giving me no trouble now. The lit? tle 'orown pullet that sat under the kitchen chimney, bas seven biddies, and the yallow leg hen that set in the front yard, eight, mak? ing twenty eight with some a little older And with the cbicken-eating shoat in the lot we are ia hopes of rearing those. The cats all look well, the big Tommy does not stay at home very-much, though comes in often enough to show that he is in good keeping. The colt is nearly a year old. In about two more years 1 can slop driving his mammn- , old Mary. With the last picking of the geese and the feathers we had on hand, we can make another feather bed, and winter is about on hand too. The old bob-tail ox had been throwing down the fence and letting the other cows in the colton field, but I have his bead tied down to hts foot, and a board across bis face, a ring in his nose and a yoke with a stick in it about four feet long, hang- J ing to his tieck. He has nut been out since. Your correspondent has no reason to believe but that bis neighbors have as good assur? ance of progress as the above. If this escapes the waste basket, you will probably get a few more dots from this section. CLOD HOPPER. Shiloh Items. SHILOH, S. C., Nov. 12, 1991. One of the marriages, which was spoken of by Agricola, took place last Sunday evening in Pine Grove Methodist Church. The bride and groom were Miss Ella Atkinson and Mr H. H. Player, of Shiloh. More to follow soon. We wish them a long and happy life together. Two very fair young ladies, Misses Ham and Connor, from Darlington, were visiting Shiloh last week. I hear that they are corn? ing back soon. We are having very nice weather for gath? ering our products, and for planting our grain. People around Shiloh are looking forward for a happy Christmas. Please tell me what church President Jeff Davis belonged to. file was a member of the Episcopal Church, and while io Richmond attended Sf Paul's Church.-ED J AGRICOLA. Important to Cotton Plantera and Interi or Cotton Buyers. WILMINGTON, C., Nov. 10,1891. In view- of prospective wet and stormy weather throughout the cotton belt "we desire to draw the attention of our friends in the interior to the most important matter of dry storage for cotton to be held or handled during the winter months, lt will be remem? bered that a large part of last season's holdings was rendered unmerchant? able and worthless by previous ex? posure to the weather in open fields or under the eaves of outhouses, either from indifference or with the unworthy purpose of adding to the weight by moisture and thereby increasing its marketable value. Many Exporters of Cotton were thus deceived and made such heavy losses from damage and and falling off in we??hts that it is their fixed determination to utterly refuse cotton which has not been pro? perly housed this season. Our purpose is to show that such carelessness reacts upon the planter. Many bales which came to us last spring apparently dry and in good con? dition, were found upon examination by the testing rod, to be utterly rotten end valueless. In one instance a bale 1 of apparently dry cotton weighing 640 lbs. was opened for examination and found to contain 550 lbs. of rotting cotton which was sold for about one cent a pound. Many other similar cases could be quoted, but this will suffice to justify the warning that a planter or merchant who risks his cot? ton out of doors in bad weather is like? ly to suffer serious consequences-in heavy allowances for damage or the utter rejection of the cotton as un? merchantable. ALEXANDER SPRUNT & SON. A Word for the Orphans. Times are tight and there are a hundred children to feed. That is the state of affairs at the Thorn well Orphanage. Think of it, there are children gathered to? gether at Clinton, from nearly every southern s tote. They are fatherless and motherless and would be homeless but for the good hand of God who has gathered then under these pro tecting roofs and raised up friends to help them You, reader, are one of those friends, if you will quickly sit down and write out a check or enclose a gift to Dr. Jacobs, Clinton, 3. C., and help him to feed those orphans. Or. send a barrel of flour or a sack of corn or a barrel of peas, or rice, or molasses The children are from seven different de? nominations. There are as m >ny of Baptist origin as Presbyterian and as many of Metho? dist as Baptist among them, so don't stand back on account of a word of doctrine, they don't send off a child, there, because, the parents did not happen to be of their faith. Thanksgiving is close at hand. The very time to give a thank-offering to the helpless Christmas is close by. How could you for? get to make the orphans happy at such a time. And mark you, if you aad people like you do not pity and help, those orphans will have nothing to eat or wear. Fraternally, Clioton, S. C. WM P.

Wallace Vaughan, a son of Alder? man J B. Vaughan, agsd about 16, ant Rohin Zi-mp, aged about 14, went hunting up the pond in a boat. . Wallace Vanghan after shooting and missing a duck told Robin Zetnp to fire, and as Robin fired Wal lace, evidently through excitement, arose directly in front of the gun, receiving the entire shot in hts head It caused instant death. Young Zsmp rowed the boat with the body of his companion back down the pond and got help, but for some time -was too much overcome with grief to explain the shooting accident. Voting Zemp is very much prostrated, as well as the family of the deceased, at the dis? tressing accident. In respect to the grief of Mr. Vaughan's family and the death of Wal? lace the municipal offices and the graded schools are closed for the day.
