Shot, But Not Killed.
Every one on Main Street was startled th;3 j
morning by the report of a pistol discharged !
in the barroom of Frank O'Donnell. A|
large crowd immediately filled the entrance ;
and parjially blocked the sidewalk in front j
Of^tfce^stcTe.
fb* informant of the writer pushed his
way through the crowd and found Mr. Pat!
Burns the. center of attraction. He was as
pale as death and was too badly frightened to .
reply to inquiries as to what was the cause of j
the excitement
? The porter Bill Brown said that Mr. Burns ;
had shot Mr. Frank Morrissey, who was in j
the back room. Proceeding to the re j.r of !
the store, he found Mr. Morrisey seated in a j
chair, with a ghastly countenance and gesp- j
iog for breath. Bill Brown said Mr. Morrisey ;
was shot through the chest. Opening Mr. j
Jilorrisey's shirt, be fonnd where the ball had !
grazed hi* skin and ieft a mark like a mos- j
qusto bite. Mr. Morriscy was, of course, glad |
to learn tbat he was not shot through and
tbrongh, aod w&s not a dying man.
Ihe accident occurred w?u?e Mr. Burrs was !
eating his breakfast, which had been sent to [
the store. Mr. Morrise;- was worrying html
try poking bun with a troom. Mr. Bums j
took up ?n :<un!oaued': pisxo; and snapped
it at Mr. Morrisey. Aa ussai in such cases, i
the pistol went off", and Mr. Morrisey narrow- I
ly escaped 8 su murer trip to the other world. I

The Sumter Iron Works
A paying industry is, mo3t frequently, the
One of which the least ? heard. Any ^enter
prise that is established on a substantial
basis does not need booa ing, and ttre owners j I
of it J 'y not care for mere notriety, when they j i
are reaping the'substantiil benefits of suce^?. ; I
Such an enterprise is the Sumter iron j
Works, which has now beer, in successfj; j ;
operation for more than six months. A few !
day3 ago, happening to be in the vicirdty of \ <
the Works, a representative of this piper took < \
advantage of the opportunity to inspec^tbe j <
machine shop and foundry.
Theshopis fitted up with lathes and ail ! ;
necessary tools for doing any kind of repair ;
Work. The proprietors, Messrs W. E and ! ;
J h Bruoson, informed the writer that they j :
Were aWe to repair and entirely St engines, u
tfoilefe, gnw, presses, taower3 and all J i
machinery ?o nee in thi3 section. In this i i
line they have done a great deal of work j
since the shop was established, and have j
given general satisfaction.
The iron and brass fonndry ha? proved to j :
be a most succesful annex to the husiness an d j '
the present force of baods have all they car. >
do to keep up with the work. They are now j ?
doing a great deal of work for the C. S & R. 1 :
R. Shops, and have just completed the heavy j c
door siils for the new jail. These sills weighed J t
more than 600 pounds each. The found- (
ry is fitted up with the best appliances and j (
ail kinds of iron and brays work can be i 1
promptly turned out as ordered. j i
Il is upon such self sustaining and creative
industries that Sumter must depend for con
tinued prosperity, and it afford? this paper no
little pleasure to speak of the success of the
Sumter Iron works.

October 21 Is to Be Observed as a
General Holiday.
President Harrison, complying with the
Act of Congress of June 29th, has issued bis
proclamation making Friday, October 21, a
general holiday. This is the recognition of
the movement to put the celebration of the
400th anniversary of the discovery of Amer
ica into the hands of all the people by giving
it to the institution closest to the people and
most characteristic of the people?the public
school.
The movement undertaken by the Nation
al ^ocfltional Association, through an execu
tive committee, which has eo presented it
as to gain the endorsement of the press
and general popular acceptance in advance of
this proclamation. The proclamation is ft3
follows ;
Whereas, by a joint resolution approved
Jund 29, lS92i it was resolved by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the United
St?te3 of America in Congress assembled,
'That the President of the United States be
authorized aud directed to issue a proclama
tion recommending the people the observance
in all their localities of the 400tb anniversary
of the discovery of America, on October 21,
1S92. by public demonstration and by suitable
exercises in their schools aud other places of j
assembly
Now therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, Presi
dent of the United States of America, in pur
suance of the aforesaid joint resolution, do
hereby appoint Friday, October 21, 1892. the
four hundredth anniversary of the di.-covery
of America by Columbus, as a general holi
day for the people of the United States. On
that day let the people so far as possible,
cease from toil and devote themselves to
such exercises as may best express honor to
the discoverer and their appreciation of the
great achievments of the four completed cen
turies of American life.
Columbus ?tood in bis age as the pioneer of
progress and enlightenment. The system of
universal education is in our age the most
prominent and salutary fea'ure of the spiiit
of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appro
priate that the schools be made by the people
the center of the day's demonstration. Let
the national fv?g float over every schoolhouse
in the country and the exercises be such as
shall irapre?s upon our youth the patriotic
duties of American citizenship.
In the churches and in th? other places of
assembly of the oeople let there be expressions
of gratitude to Divine Providence for the de
vout faith of the discoverer and for the Divine
care and guidance which has directed our
history and so abundantly blessed our peo
ple.
In - testimony whereof I bave hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 21st
day of July, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninet}-two, ard
of the independence of the United States the
oue hundred and seventeenth.
Benj. Harrison.
By the President :

V/ASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Aug. 1, '92.
The Congressional aead-lock over the
Worid's Fair Appropriation is stiil on, and
both sides are still confident of winniug, or
at least they *av they ate. There is absolute
ly no ground to base an authoritive predic
tion on how it will end, although the chances,
on account of numbers, are still considered
to be in favor of those who support the ap
propriation, il" a quorum of the House can
be kept here?a very important "if." The
extension of last year's Sundry Civil appro
priation expired at midnight Saturday ; the
Sen'at? has passed a joint resolution extending
it to Thursday of this week, but when an
attempt was made in the House to pass it,
Saturday befor? adjourning oh account of
the announcement of the death of Represen
tative Craig, of Pennsylvania, Representa
tive Hopkins of Illinois, objected, consequent
ly the Covert ment Printing Office and other
bureaux of the Government ?ro*ided for in
that bill are closed today, and will remain
closed until the old appropriation is extended
or the new or,e becomes a law.
A3 Representative Hopkins Is prominent
among the friends of the World's Fair appro- ;
priat?on, it is believed that his objection was
part of a plan to force the fillibusterers to
allow the House to pa38 the new SuuJry Civ
il biil with the World's Fair appropriation
amendment. A number of compromises have
been suggested, but up to this tini? the
friends of the appropriation, backed by the
Senate, which insists that Congress shall not
adjourn uutil the World's Fair appropriation
becomes a law, have refased to even consider
them. Representative Amos Cnramings, of
New York, who is now in command of the
fillibusterers, sajs that they will hold ont
until December, if necessary. The dead lock
may eod today, and m*y last for months;
no man can teil bow or when it will end.
Senator Carlisle never speaks ou the tariff
without ginug the republic-ius'sorae blows
that cannot be successfully parried, and his
iast speech, which even 40 bitter, a partisan
?s Senator Sherman referred to as ''the very
fair and frank argument ot the Senator from
Kentucky," was no exception to the rule.
He dealt tue protection tau m bo j'imbo a ter
ribie biow in an unprotected spot when he
cited fifteen geneiai otcu pa tiens, the prod
ucia of which are higbiy protecieJ by t! e
McKinley law, and fifteen other trades, the
products o.' whic h ar<* on the tree list, and
showed bv undisputable figuies that average
.1 a i
( I wt^es in ?tie protected industries had been ;
reduced sin :.: the McKinley bill b? came a law,
while ii.e average of wages paid by the un
pr cN'l industries dr.-nng the same
; riou increased. So much b.r the only real
argument thai protectionists have, ? that pro
tection increases the wages of our working i
people.
The. fifteen unprotected occupations in which
the average of wages has increased since the
McKinley law was enacted are bakers, black
smiths, bricklayers, cabinet timkers, carpon- ;
ters, coiiiuion laborers, farm laborers machin
ists, ma*o-i?, irou molders, painters, plum
bers, stone cutters, tailors, and tin smiths.
The fifteen protected occupations, in which
the average of wages has decreased, are bar
iron, boots and shoes, cotton goods-, cotton
and woolen goods, crucible stebl, flint glass,
green gi :ss, window giass, lumber, machi
nery, pig iron, steel ingots, steel blooms,
Steel rails, and woollen goods. Mr. Carlisle
iI?o called attention to another clause of the
McKinley law which is responsible through
the rise of the price*! o! tin for having already
robbed the people of ibis country of ?4,
529,750; c-r mote than one-half of the esti
mated value of the 508 'in" plate wotksof
Wales, thus showing that the benefit of this
particular clause of the protective tariff i?
reaped" entirely by the Welch manufacturer
At the erpenfe cf the American consumers.
According to tin ot'icial communication j
from Secretary roster to thellouap, in answer !
to a resolution, no Treasury ofbeial either |
asked fur or obtained leave of absence to I
attend ths republican national convention ..; j
Minneapolis. Then a go'?d many of th ui
wert absent without leave, as they wire Cer- i
tain?y m t the convention.
The House committee on Agriculture in a j
report upon the effect of the present {tariff law
upon agriculture, connrmed the statemeot ;
made in the Senate last week by Senator Vest, j
that the valneof farm lands Ami farm nroductd i
hf'vo been ?tendily deteriorating uH?cr the !
several protective tariff laws in force since !
!h<.> v. ar, while other interests have beeu more ;
prosperous and rcmuuerative. The report j
says that under the low tariff of 18IC ugii-i
culture enjoyed :ts greatest proiperky, and
-'i-.x the :?. restrictive and prohibitive the '
trade with other conn tries has been the worse
hns agriculture fared.
Quite "a tempest in a Jpa pot'' his been
raised by the charge of drunkenness on the
floor of the House, made by Representative
Watson, of Georgia, in a somewat remark
able book he has written and published. A
special committee is now engaged, by direction
of the House, in investigating the charge,
and the scandal mongers are taking special
delight in smirching the names of met.-hers of
the.House.

It looks like men are losing their reason.
When we hear of men. with the pure anglo

trouble, and perhaps many lives.
Well, Mr. Editor, we have gotten up a

be with us, stay with us, and finally, at last
go home with us from the debate. It is to be

It is well for the people to' look closely to the

The position is one which demands activity.
The Commissioner must visit all the schools
of the County in th? course of' three or four
