Mr. Engene Newman, of the Concord neighbood, was badly injared about ten days ago while attempting to stop a pair of runa? way mules. He was hauling wood from a branch, near his borne, and the moles becom? ing frightened just as the wagon cleared the woods, be was thrown from the wagon and dragged about fifty yeards before being stopped by a oegro who happened to be near at band.

The Charleston, Sumter and Northern Schedule. The new schedule over the Sooth Carolina and Charleston, Sumter and North? ern roads gives two trains daily except Sun? day over the latter lin?. Passengers leaving Charleston for Eutawville and intermediate points on the Charleston, Sumter and North? ers n are given the advantage of a better schedule than they have ever before enjoyed. One train over this line leaves Charleston at 6.50 A. M. and another at 5 45 P M. Re? turning to this city, however, the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Roid only makes con? nection with one of the South Carolina Railway's trains, leaving Eutawville at 3 30 P.

Coleman on last Thursday nigbt. The lec? ture treated of his travels and researcher in the Bast, and was both instructive and interesting. He bas travelled extensively in the East, and bas made a careful and thor? ough investigation of tbe forms of Masonry practiced there, and it was of this that be spoke. . At the conclusion of the lecture a Tabernacle of Oriental Pilgrims was organized by Rev. Mr. Coleman, who is the Supreme Chancellor. Tbe following are the officers of the Taberanacle Pilgrim Chief; H. C. Moses, Aides, Abe Ry tte ? ber sr and Dr. S. C. Baker. I An Outrageous Affair. Col. H. E L. Peebles was attacked by two drunken rowdies while on bis way borne from Camden last Saturday afternoon and severly cut and beaten. Col. Peebles had been to Camden oe busi? ness and was returning home, having sent bis wagon ahead in charge of two negroes. A few miles out from Camden he overtook hts wagon, and found the negroes and two white men numed Truesdale fighting. He ordered them to stop Sghtiog and the Troesdales then attacked bim, dragging him from his buggy and cutting him OB tbe neck and bead and eleven places through hts overcoat. One gash OB the back of the head was quite severe and from it he lost consider? able blood. One of tbe negroes was abo cut. Col. Peebles made the best defence be could but being an old man, above 70 years old, he could do little to protect himself. Cot. Peebles does not recollect bow he got back into bis buggy, but late in tb? afternoon he was found in a fainting condition by Prank West and taken to bis house near by. Dr. Britton was called in as soon as possible to dress Col. Peebles' wounds. He is still eonfined to his bed, but no serious result is BOW deemed probable. A Shooting Affray. A persona! letter to a gentleman in this city furnishes th? particulars of a shooting affray in Washington. D. C., on the 18th uit. in which, Mr. Edward Boyd, who is known to many persons here, was wounded. Mr. Boyd arrived to Washington from Binghampton, i?. F., and stopped at the Hotel ?oyal. After supper he was accosted by a man who <vsked if he was Edward Boyd from North Carolina, and receiving a reply ia tbe affirmative, ?aid he wished to see bim. Mr. Boyd asked to be excused as he was worn out, baring been eight days oo the road from Buffalo, on aceonnt of the tram being's now bound. He bad* the gentleman good nigbt and was walking toward? toe elevator, when the gentleman asked bim to stop as he had only a single question tc ask. Mr. Boyd stopped and tbe stranger said be wanted to ask if he bad said, tu a certain divorce case in New York Stat?, that any maa who was unkind to bis wife was a brute and a coward. Mr. Boyd replied that he had said so and would say so again. The stranger called him a Har and Mr. Boyd knocked him down. He drew a revol? ver aud fired three shots at Mr. Boyd, one lodgiog in bis watch, the second passing through bis wrist and the third making a gealp wound. A gentleman standing by banded Mr. Boyd a pistol, but be said be would sot be guilty of killing a coward, and turning to tbe maa said, 1 you koow you are a coward." The man was arrested at once, and Mr. Boyd obtained medical attention for his wounds which were paiuful, but not danger? ous. Everybody should know what a good med? icine Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is ; it has Quxed many thousands and. will cure you. New Buildings. The boom is said by many to be a bursted bubble, and that Stealer's era of progress and growth is a dream that is* o'er. This is not true, however, residents hate merely become accustomed to a state of growth and what, a few years ago would have been considered subject for comment, passes unnoticed. The member of new houses now going un, the number, recently completed, and the n timber contracted for, are indisputable evidences of growth. One bas but to mentally enumerate the bouses built within th? year and then think ot the vacant booses In the city, to realise the steady growth of the place. Where are the houses without tenants? and are there not more people bunting houses than houses without tenants. Sumter is still grow? ing and tbe new buildings prove it even to the doubters.

You can never tell wnat a slight cold may lead to ; it4 is be3t, therefore, to give yourself the benefit of the doubt, and cure it as soon as possible with Ayer's Cherry Pectoral A day's delay, sometimes an hour's delay, may result in serious consequences. However much one may have difFered po liticaiy from Mr. Blaine, he cannot fail to be interested in the striking personality of the man, a personality which possesses a phenom? enally intense and universal interest for the people at large, quite independent of any immediate connection with the question of tbs day. Tbe Febuary Cosmopolitan presents a careful review of Mr. Blaine's characteristics as a man and statesman, prepared by T. C. Crawford and illustrated by numerous sketch? ers of his home, and famous cartoons apropos of striking posses of bis political career. Curiously enough, this'is found side by side with General Badeau's sketch of Lord Bea? consfield. Badeau, when Secretary of Le? gations was acquainted with Disraeli and the alternately bizarre and magnificent political figure cut by tbis extraordinory man ts de? scribed in a most readable manner. Tbe second article in the series of the "Great Railway Systems of the United States" also appears in this number, the Atchison, Tope? ka k Santa Fe. with its more than ten thou? sand miles of track being treated. The story is told of its early beginnings, of the auto? cratic power wielded by its managers over more than one-quarter of our territory. Few people not living on the line of this road have any conception of its marveloos im? portance. A delightful Japanese story, "Toki Korata," and a jen d' esprit entitled "June, 1993," from tbe pen of Julian Hawthorne, are unusually entertaining ; the flying ma chine has never given opportunity for a wittier, and at the same time more valuable speculation tban Mr. Hawthorne's. The Making of beet root sugar is one of the rapidly glowing interests on the North Amer icaa continent, but tbe first time io maga? zine literature it is here thoroughly explained in every process, helped out by photographs of the seed, the roots, the method of culti vation and the most improved machinery for conversion into sugar. Shiloh Items. SHILOH, S. C., Jan. 28, 1893. Owing to the frozen up condition of things, this correspondent has felt very little inclined to do any thing but sit around the fire and try to devise plans to avoid freezing, io case the terribly cold weather was pro? tracted much longer. This is the tenth day since the snow, and quantities of it is still on the grcnnd. The ice in Pudding Swamp a few days ago was four to five inches thick. We think it would average 4 inches in depth. The frozen condition of the road made it impracticable for our mail carrier to get around with the mail, but a number of mar? riages took place ali the same; and some of the grooms had to travel a greater distance than the mail cairiej. No marriage was de? layed an hour on account of the extreme weather. Mr. Willie Player and Miss Janie Dennis were married on the 18th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Davis. Dr. J.D. Whitehead and Miss Mary Sue Player were married on Sunday, the 22d, inst. All of Shiloh. Dr. T. R. McElveen was married to a Miss Sallie of Aiken, S. C., on the 28th Dec, ultimo. Some of our young people, who had long been eager for an opportunity to skate, had their desire gratified to their hearts content, during the freeze. Some of them will hardly ever try to learn any more about skating on ice We are pleased to report no serions acci? dents or sufferings from the freeze, in our section. Our free school term closed on the 18th inf i., and the total number of pupils enrolled wis 51. Mr. T. B. Rharae, the teacber.will open the private or pay school on Monday next-term 5 months.

We desire to inform the public that Dr. Pitcher's Ca?toria is made and put up in the Labotatory of The Centaur Company, New York, but one size bottle, and on the outside wrapper formula is printed and the Fae-Simile Signature of "Chas. H Fletcher, New York." No otb?>r preparation offered as Castoria is genuine. To counterferit or imitate either ir* the name or signature is a criminal offense. Dr. Pitcher's Citoria has become a valuable standard family medicine with the indorse? ment of some of the best Physicians in America. Don't allow any one to sell you anything else on the plea or promise that it is "ju?t as good," and will answer every purpose, etc., etc. Castoria is sold by all respectable druggists aud dealers in medicine.

Senator Sherman renewed his attack and refused to be convinced even hy the oratory of the Iowa Senator He wanted the Senate to do the straightforward thing, and not fizzle about it. ... ^ . "Givo the Fair $5',000,Ooewgd do not make believe that yon are decs?Sng your? selves in giving it a 70?cent silver dollar, or two 35-cent halfdollnrs" If the Children cry for it, as tbe Seoator has said they did, "Why not give them Castoria?" said Sher? man. He knew that it was a popular thing with the little ones, more popular be thought than even the souvenir talf-dollars would be. Tbe galleries looked down in surprise as these remarks eame from Sherman, and Con? gressmen who entered the Chamber just as Mr Sherman uttered them, dropped into the vacant chairs nearest the door.

Given under my hand, this 25th day of January, A. D., 2893. T. V. WALSH, Jan 25-2t Jndge of Probate li That marriage brings respon? sibilities upon the man, is understood. But, there is one responsibility that is often lost sight of. You may be a model husband ; and, during life, may make your bride the hap? piest of women. You do your duty ; but is that your whole duty ? The happier a woman may be during the life of her hus? band, the more keenly will she feel her position, if, dying, he leaves her unprovided for. It is the duty of every man, when he swears to love and cherish her, who is to be the partner of his joys and sorrows, to insure his life, that after death, she might not be left to want and misery. The small sums that a man may invest with us, that other? wise might be dissipated in trifling expenditures, are made to increase by prompt and judicious investment, to grow and bear fruit for the future benefit of himself or his family, whether he sleeps, works or plays. As the wheels of Time go 'round every revolution is adding to his store. ''The Penn" Is a purely Mutual Company. The best guarantee of its solidity is its record for nearly half a century.
